Chapter 709: They Don't Want to Bother with You

The walking tractor, in theory, had a top speed of 15 kilometers per hour, but this thing, when pulling a cargo bed and walking on a gravel road, definitely couldn't reach that.

Anyway, Wang An felt that even if the throttle was pressed to the bottom, it was about the same speed as riding a bicycle.

Until the tractor was parked in Wu Dong's courtyard, Wang Li was still in a very excited state, looking around at the tractor and touching this and that from time to time.

It was clear that Wang Li was addicted to driving the walking tractor! In fact, not just the walking tractor; to be precise, motorcycles, four-wheeled vehicles, and cars were all equivalent to big toys for men.

Therefore, when they just learned to play with these things, or were very proud of them, basically all men would be addicted, and the only thought in their hearts was to drive them, wanting to do so every moment.

Only when they understood them thoroughly and were truly too lazy to drive them would this addiction automatically quit.

Seeing Wang Li like the walking tractor so much, Wang Shuai joked:

"What's wrong, Old Five, you've taken a fancy to this thing?"

Wang Li smiled and said: "Yeah, I've grown up this big, and this is the first time I've driven a vehicle; it's really satisfying."

Wang Shuai said with a smile:

"If you like it, ask your brother to help you buy one; it's not like you can't afford it."

They all went panning for gold together, and the gold everyone shared was the same amount, which was why Wang Shuai said this.

After Wang Shuai finished speaking, Wang Li said with glowing eyes: "Really, Brother Wang? Can you help me buy one?"

Before Wang Shuai could speak, Wang Li continued:

"Thank you, Brother Wang. I see there are exactly two more in that big yard; selling me one is just right."

Before Wang Shuai could react, Wang Li turned to Wang An: "Fourth Brother, how much money do you still have in your pocket? Take it out for me first; I don't have enough money, and Brother Wang said he wants to help me buy a walking tractor."

It must be said that Wang Li's sudden move directly stunned Wang Shuai, and everyone who saw this scene also watched the fun with a smile.

Hearing Wang Li start to borrow money from Wang An, Wang Shuai finally reacted and immediately stopped him:

"Stop, stop, stop, Old Five, wait a minute, when did I say I would help you buy a tractor?"

Wang Li said with an "innocent face":

"Just now, you said 'If you like it, brother will help you buy one.' Isn't that your original words? If you don't believe me, ask my Fourth Brother and the others; they all heard it."

And don't say, Wang Li's imitation of Wang Shuai's tone just now was quite similar.

The main thing was that Wang Li confused the concept of "brother," which was quite good. Anyway, whether it was Wang An, Wang Shuai, or Wu Dong and He Liang, Wang Li had to call them brother.

So, Wang Li saying that this brother Wang Shuai wanted to help him buy a vehicle was actually not wrong.

Just as Wang Shuai was frowning and trying hard to think, everyone echoed:

"Yeah, you did say that just now; you said 'Ask your brother me to help you buy one.'"

"Yes, I heard it too."

"You also said 'It's not like you can't afford it.'"

"Right, right, right, that's exactly how it is; that's exactly what you said."

After everyone finished speaking, seeing Wang Shuai still frowning and not knowing what to think, Wang An said "very kindly":

"It's okay, Brother Wang. A walking tractor isn't a Chinese cabbage; it's normal that they don't want to bother with you. Don't worry, Brother Wang, it's okay if you can't buy it. Old Five won't dare to complain about you; if he dares to complain about you, I'll fix him." Immediately after, Wang An turned to Wang Li: "So, Old Five, Brother Wang here is probably not going to make it; you just drive mine first. When there's a spare vehicle at the Agricultural Machinery Company, you can buy one then."

It must be said that everyone's "smearing mud in the crotch" approach directly put Wang Shuai on the spot.

Especially Wang An's sentence "they don't want to bother with you," which directly hung Wang Shuai's face and dignity up.

The key was that although it was hung up, there was a feeling that it could be taken down and thrown on the ground at any time.

Most importantly, it not only confirmed the matter of Wang Shuai wanting to help Wang Li buy a tractor but also made it so that Wang Shuai had to do it even if he didn't want to.

If he helped, no problem, everyone would continue to praise him.

If he didn't help, then that was his ability, a complete failure, nothing at all.

So, as soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Shuai stopped thinking about what he had said to Wang Li; the main thing was that thinking about it was useless.

Because the situation now was very clear: Wang An and Wang Li, these two brothers, had latched onto Wang Shuai! And everyone was helping to echo, letting Wang Shuai express his stance.

And in the final analysis, it was Wang Shuai's fault for having a loose mouth, having to provoke Wang Li and giving Wang Li the opportunity to climb up the pole.

Of course, if Wang Shuai refused to admit it to the death and had a face as thick as Wang An's, this matter would have passed.

Unfortunately, people, most of them want some face that is useless, and they can't stand the provocative method of praising in words but belittling in reality.

Wang Shuai pursed his lips and said with some irritation:

"Who says no one wants to bother with me? Why am I not going to make it?"

Immediately after, Wang Shuai said with some heat: "Come, come, come, Old Five doesn't have enough money, everyone take out money, pool it together, Old Five will pay you back later, I'll take him to buy it now."

After Wang Shuai finished speaking, everyone didn't refute, one by one smiling and taking out money.

Wang An only had a stack and a half of large bills in his pocket, about 1,500 or 1,600, and took them all out.

While others were counting money and reporting numbers, Zhang Shuya took out 2 stacks of large bills with a smile and said to everyone: "Everyone take the money back; the money from me and Little An is enough."

When Zhang Shuya handed over the money, Wang An asked with surprise: "Eldest Sister, why do you have so much money in your bag? Are you going to do something?"

The reason Wang An asked this was that he noticed that in the canvas bag Zhang Shuya was carrying, after taking out these 2 stacks of large bills, there were clearly 2 and a half stacks left.

Zhang Shuya rolled her eyes at Wang An:

"I prepared this for you; I was thinking if you didn't bring money, I would take it for you."

After saying this, Zhang Shuya didn't explain further, but Wang An's heart was truly moved.

It had to be admitted that this eldest sister, Zhang Shuya, was truly worth recognizing.

After Wang Shuai took the money, he stuffed it into his pocket, turned around, rode his sidecar, and greeted Wang Li: "Old Five, get on."

Hearing this, Wang Li took three steps in two, followed by a jump, and then sat steadily in the sidecar.

Wang Shuai kicked the starter of the sidecar, and the sidecar made that unique sound of a motorcycle, like a "chain of farts," and then roared out of the gate.
