Chapter 295 - 295 208 Ill Go on Your Behalf_3
?Chapter 295: Chapter 208: I’ll Go on Your Behalf_3 Chapter 295: Chapter 208: I’ll Go on Your Behalf_3 “No trouble at all, do you want some sunflower seeds?” said Wen Chengcai as he reached out his hand to Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan flatly refused him, “I don’t eat them!”
“Alright then, just wait here, I’ll be right back.”
As soon as he was a fair distance away, Wen Chengcai threw away the sunflower seeds he was holding.
“Pah, stuff that rich folks wouldn’t even glance at! Screw that! I’m going to strike it rich!”
Wen Chengcai knew that Shen Jingchuan must have come to express his gratitude and had guessed long ago that he and that female celebrity had money—his car today had confirmed it.
Those people, they were not just ordinarily wealthy!
This time he needed to discuss properly with Third Brother on how to broach the subject appropriately.
It was precisely because he harbored such intentions that Wen Chengcai didn’t allow Shen Jingchuan to follow him.
If he had come along, how would he have been able to discuss things with Third Brother?
The plot of land that Third Brother had cleared wasn’t far from where they lived, and Wen Chengcai sprinted there and quickly found Third Brother to share his plans.
To his surprise, Third Brother instantly rejected him.
“Chengcai, we didn’t save people to get their money; we can’t make such a demand,”
“Why not? Don’t you see the hard life we’re living? I told you they’re wealthy, even a small amount taken from between their teeth would be enough for us to live out the rest of our lives.”
“Still, we can’t just ask for it,” Third Brother disagreed, “I feel my life is quite good now; I don’t need their money.”
“That’s you! You chose to live this life, you still get a subsidy every month, but I don’t. I’m not living well at all. Do you know how scared I was that night when those two people chased me in their car? If they had caught me, they might have wanted to silence me. What’s wrong with taking a bit of their money considering the risk I took? If I hadn’t saved them, all that money in their bank accounts would be useless—can’t take it with you in life or death.”
The more Wen Chengcai spoke, the more agitated he became, his spittle even spraying Third Brother’s face.
Third Brother frowned, “Chengcai, you’re too impetuous. You know the reason you’ve been poor all these years. You always look for shortcuts instead of working steadfastly. If you demand money just for having saved someone’s life, how are you any different from those kidnappers?”
“I didn’t say I would make an exorbitant demand, that’s why I came to discuss with you.”
Third Brother shook his head, “There’s no room for discussion in this matter; I am not going to ask them for money. And you shouldn’t either or we can no longer be friends.”
“What do you mean by that? You want me to leave?”
“I don’t wish to drive you away by my personal desire; I just hope you can make the right choice.”
“The right choice? Are your choices always right? Look at yourself, your whole life is ruined. Is your righteousness correct? I’m not sure. You can stick to your principles; I just want my share.”
Wen Chengcai was resolute in his desire for money and, having argued with Third Brother, he turned and left.
Concerned that Chengcai might stray onto the wrong path, Third Brother immediately put down the hoe and followed him.
Wen Chengcai ignored him and quickly returned to the tin shack.
Shen Jingchuan could see the two men from a distance.
Seeing a space between them and Wen Chengcai’s cold expression, Shen Jingchuan couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Soon, Wen Chengcai approached Shen Jingchuan.
“I’ve brought you back, so tell me, what is it?”
Shen Jingchuan deliberately waited for Third Brother to come over before he spoke, “I am here today specifically to represent Wenyan and myself in expressing our gratitude to you both, thank you for saving us.”
Before Shen Jingchuan could continue, Wen Chengcai hurriedly asked, “So how do you intend to thank us? I risked my life when I saved you; you’re aware of that, right?”
“Of course. I’ve prepared a hundred thousand yuan as our sincere token, which I can transfer to you right now.”
“A hundred thousand?” That wasn’t a small sum, but they were celebrities who’d been on TV; he estimated they earned more than that in an hour.
So Wen Chengcai felt it was too little.
“A hundred thousand for one person? But we saved two. Shouldn’t it then be two hundred thousand?”
“Chengcai!” Third Brother’s worst fear had come to pass.
He frowned, looking directly at Shen Jingchuan for the first time with his disfigured face.
“You should go; we don’t want the money!”
