"Small car, I want to ride a small car." Gou Dan jumped and shouted excitedly upon hearing this, pulling Liu Qiao Lian’s hand, "Mom, I want to ride a small car, I want to ride a small car."
Shouting while using the other hand to wipe his nose.
Gu Lingling and Mo Hongying, "..."
This is definitely a little brat.
"Sister Gu, look how happy Gou Dan is when he hears about riding a car." Liu Qiao Lian said with a smile.
Happy?
She certainly didn’t think this little brat was happy.
"Sister-in-law Liu, are you going to Qin City?" Gu Lingling asked.
"Yes, to buy some things in Qin City." Liu Qiao Lian replied with a smile.
She guessed that Gu Lingling and the others were also going to Qin City, so she said so.
"Alright then," Mo Hongying said with a smile, "I’m also going to Qin City, so I’m hitching a ride with Lingling. But since it’s Lingling’s car, we can’t just let her burn fuel for us."
"So we’ve agreed, we should pay Lingling for the fuel for this trip." Mo Hongying said.
"Sister-in-law, you can also hitch a ride if you want. There’s just one seat left for you and Gou Dan," Mo Hongying’s smile grew wider, "We were thinking if someone could share the fuel costs with us, it would be better, and it turns out Sister-in-law had the same idea as us."
"Gou Dan is just a little kid, but he still takes up a seat," Mo Hongying pretended to think and said, "I decided with Lan Fang that Gou Dan just needs to pay two yuan."
"What?" Liu Lanfang was already shocked by Mo Hongying’s long speech. Isn’t this just a simple carpool? What does splitting fuel costs mean?
"My Gou Dan needs to pay two yuan too? Are you kidding me?" Liu Lanfang stared at Mo Hongying.
"Two yuan is already very little, Sister-in-law. If you want to ride, it’s ten yuan round trip each, just like us." Mo Hongying said, "You don’t want to ride for free, do you, Sister-in-law Liu?"
"What... what ride for free..." Liu Qiao Lian said awkwardly.
She did want to ride for free.
But since Mo Hongying said it, she couldn’t admit it.
"But... we’re all from the same courtyard. Charging for a car ride is just too..." Liu Qiao Lian certainly didn’t want to pay, especially since she wasn’t really going to Qin City for anything.
She just wanted to try riding a small car.
She had never ridden one before.
She didn’t expect Gu Lingling to be so stingy and charge money.
"Even blood siblings need clear accounts, let alone us." Zhang Lanfang said with a smile, "I’m late."
Liu Qiao Lian, seeing her say so too, awkwardly moved her lips and didn’t say anything further.
"I want to ride a small car." At this moment, Gou Dan suddenly broke free from Liu Qiao Lian’s hand, ran to Gu Lingling’s car, started banging on the door and kicking the tires, "Let me in, I want to ride the small car. My mom said she’s taking me to ride the small car."
Truly her own son, with one sentence he sold out his own mother.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Qiao Lian angrily went over to pull Gou Dan, "Hurry up, follow me home."
Going to Qin City round trip costs twelve yuan; is this money burning a hole in her pocket?
Going to Qin City by base shuttle only costs six yuan round trip, and it doesn’t cost anything for Gou Dan.
She didn’t believe Zhang Lanfang and Mo Hongying would pay that much either.
But just as she thought that, she saw Mo Hongying and Zhang Lanfang handing the fare to Gu Lingling right in front of her, "Ten yuan, keep it."
Gu Lingling gave a helpless smile and accepted the money.
But she was already thinking in her mind about buying something later to somehow give the money back.
