Chapter 115: Madness_1
Li Qiao finished the tasks he had promised to his classmates and came to the grove for another date with Qin Jin. They walked out unhurriedly only after the school bell rang.
She saw him off at the school gate, turned around to get her lunch box from the canteen, and after eating, continued working on the unfinished problems.
Before the evening self-study, Hu Xiufang rushed into the classroom out of breath.
Li Qiao said, "Did you get the fertilizer?"
"My eldest brother has already gone over. He said that the fertilizer station indeed received fertilizer this morning, and the price dropped to three jin and eight per pound. He considered buying it while the price was low but was hesitant because he didn’t want me to think he’d broken his promise and get angry, so he didn’t buy any. Fortunately, he didn’t, otherwise we would have lost a lot, and I would have really hated him," Hu Xiufang explained, catching her breath.
Li Qiao chuckled lightly, "That’s too harsh. Even if you hadn’t bought any, my family could have sold ours." Qin Jin said that many people in the village bought from him, even reserving some for their relatives, but he had already promised to supply the fertilizer station, so he took it all there.
Everyone knew that Li Qiao’s family sold fertilizer cheaper than the fertilizer station. After the first period of evening self-study, several classmates approached her to inquire about purchasing fertilizer.
Li Qiao said, "It’s already sold out. The intention wasn’t to make money by keeping some for you." She just wanted everyone to know that her partner wasn’t worthless.
Liu Lanlan felt fortunate that she decided to go home and consult with her parents at the end; otherwise, she would have had to spend more than two extra yuan on three bags of fertilizer, enough for her family to beat her up.
After evening self-study, Li Qiao walked toward the dormitory carrying fried, crispy snacks.
"Xiufang!"
