System: ...
Rong Qingqing's tone was one of rightful arrogance.
"If you want to give it, why don't you give it yourself?" Shen Qiao was angry, "Why make my brother give it!"
"Because I'm his fiancée!" Rong Qingqing said with a sly smile like a little fox at Shen Jue, "For you to spend just one yuan on me, is not too much, right?"
Shen Qiao couldn't argue anymore but stood angrily on the side, stamping her foot.
Rong Qingqing reached out and gently poked Shen Jue's arm, urging him, "Hurry up and give him one yuan."
As long as Shen Jue gave that one yuan, she'd have those five hours!
Shen Jue glanced at Rong Qingqing with an indifferent expression, finally too lazy to argue with a woman, he reached into his pocket.
Then he remembered; he hadn't brought his wallet when he went out.
Luckily, there was a five-yuan bill in his pocket from who knows when.
Shen Jue directly put the money into the beggar's empty bowl.
And the beggar just glanced at him without a word, continuing to read his book.
This made Rong Qingqing very curious, what exactly did this street-side economics teach this beggar?
Rong Qingqing bent down, picked up the five yuan from the empty bowl, and handed it to the beggar, without taking a breath, "Give change!"
The two strong words made everyone around freeze like wooden chickens.
"I said to give just one yuan earlier, but we don't have change, so give me four yuan back!" Rong Qingqing said.
Only then did the beggar close his book, sit up, and glared fiercely at Rong Qingqing, "Didn't you see there's not a single cent in my bowl? Just scan one yuan to me!"
While speaking, the beggar fished out a QR code from his bag behind him and threw it in front of Rong Qingqing, "Quickly scan it, scan it and be on your way, don't disturb my reading."
When it comes to being haughty, even Rong Qingqing had to admit defeat this time.
If it wasn't for those five extra hours of life, she would have dragged Shen Jue and left immediately.
"How can you be like this?" Shen Qiao protested softly.
Unexpectedly, the beggar sneered.
"I've finally experienced what it means to be stingy even when rich. You wealthy people, really broaden one's horizons. It's my first time hearing that giving money to a beggar comes with the requirement of needing change."
Shen Jue's gaze lingered on the beggar's wrist for two seconds before moving to his face, "It's indeed eye-opening, for a beggar to wear a watch worth hundreds of thousands."
Shen Qiao and Rong Qingqing were both dumbfounded, Shen Qiao squatted down just like Rong Qingqing, checking out what a watch worth hundreds of thousands looked like on the beggar's wrist.
If Shen Jue hadn't said so, Rong Qingqing would have thought it was just a watch worth dozens since she couldn't even find the brand logo on it.
"The law doesn't prohibit working as a part-time beggar, does it?"
The beggar rolled his eyes at Shen Jue and pointed at the QR code in front of him.
Only then did Rong Qingqing remember there was still business undone.
She turned her head to Shen Jue, "Use your phone to scan one yuan to him."
Shen Jue's face darkened, "Didn't bring it."
Rong Qingqing said nothing, staring straight at Shen Jue, whispering, "The richer you are, the stingier."
Facing Rong Qingqing's face full of suspicion, Shen Jue snorted and asked, "You rushed me out, gave me time to fetch my phone and wallet?"
Rong Qingqing nodded, that's true.
"Or should I give it for my brother?" Shen Qiao felt Rong Qingqing was intentionally making things difficult for her brother. Why not just give the five yuan? Why insist on change, insisting on just one yuan!
