Chapter 60 - 059: Refusal to Cooperate
Lin Yang was just added to the WeChat group and showed his face when a string of fellow anglers started to mention him with @ signs.
He faced a barrage of questions about bait and additives, and after a long time of responding, Lin Yang finally managed to answer most of them.
"Here you go, Xiao Yang, 105 pounds of fish, three bucks a pound, that makes 315 in total for the fish you’re bringing back. Count it," Wang Jian Country said generously as he took out the cash from his fanny pack and handed it to Lin Yang.
Looking at the money handed to him, Lin Yang directly gave Wang Jian Country the 15 yuan change back.
He politely said, "We caught quite a few fish today, and you even gave me a discount on the fishing fee. It’s give and take between us, so consider this change my treat for your smokes."
This was the first time Wang Jian Country had encountered a young man handling matters with such a style. He was slightly taken aback by Lin Yang’s gesture of returning the change.
Lin Yang smiled, stuffed the money back into Wang Jian Country’s hand, and said, "Your business isn’t easy either. I’ll need to trouble Brother Wang to look after things in the future. As long as you stock the pond well, I’ll definitely come back if I get the chance."
"You, young man, I’ve been running this fishing site for two years now. Everyone grumbles that I don’t pay enough for the fish, but this is the first time I’ve seen a customer using their change," Wang Jian Country said as he nodded and pocketed the money.
"I’m going to tidy up my gear now and come back another day to play."
With that, Lin Yang turned and walked towards his fishing spot.
As Wang Jian Country watched Lin Yang’s retreating figure, he lit a cigarette and took a drag, silently admiring that despite his youth, Lin Yang dealt with people modestly and conducted himself with principle, a far better man than the likes of Yu Yitong.
