Seeing Yang Lin panting as he ran back, Lin Hao suddenly stood up and shouted, "Gather around."
Yang Lin was taken aback, thinking to himself that at this time there was still a chance; did they really want to exhaust him to death?
But who would have thought that Lin Hao and the others would simultaneously shout, "Thank you, Yang Lin, for helping us wash our clothes." Their voices soared into the sky, and everyone in Chen Family Village heard it.
Yang Lin was so furious at Lin Hao and the others that he gritted his teeth. They were being too much; helping them wash clothes while spreading his embarrassing moments around—where could he hide his face?
At that moment, Chen Haoxuan walked out with a thick cigar in his mouth. He sternly told Lin Hao and the others, "Go away, how can you treat our comrade Yang Lin like this!" Then he turned to Yang Lin and said, "Yang Lin, don't worry, you don't need to wash my clothes."
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Yang Lin felt deeply moved, thinking this was what a good brother should be! But then Chen Haoxuan's next words nearly made him spit blood. Chen Haoxuan continued, "My clothes are brand-name; if you ruin them, I’ll be at a huge loss."
"So you think I'm not good enough? Boohoo..." Yang Lin said tearfully.
Li Wenshan waved at Yang Lin with a smug look and laughed, "Come here."
"What is it?" Yang Lin asked curiously.
"What do you mean what? You lost, so of course you have to help us wash our clothes! If you don’t come over now, I’ll take you to get my dirty clothes," Li Wenshan said boastfully.
"You wait; when the day comes that I have you in my hands, just see how I deal with you," Yang Lin replied like a resentful wife as he sulkily went to collect the dirty clothes from Lin Hao and the others.
What Yang Lin didn’t expect was that there would be so many dirty clothes from Lin Hao and the others. Each of them had two or three sets of unwashed camouflage uniforms piled together like a magnificent mountain.
At the entrance of the Security Team Dormitory, Yang Lin stood in front of a mountain of clothes piled high, lost in thought. He muttered to himself, "I can't even be bothered to wash my own clothes. How am I supposed to wash all these?"
Li Wenshan, standing nearby, said without a hint of sympathy, "Didn't Boss reward you with RMB today? You could just pay us to wash them for you!"
Yang Lin raised a finger in surprise and asked, "Are you saying if I take out RMB, you won't let me wash them?"
"I agree," Li Wenshan raised his hand.
"I agree too. If you give us RMB to buy drinks, we won't make you wash our clothes," Lin Hao joked.
"I agree as well..." Jiang Dong and the others chimed in, raising their hands in agreement.
RMB to avoid the hassle of washing clothes was tempting for Yang Lin, but he felt it was too much. He thought that taking all those clothes to the laundromat would cost at most a few hundred Renminbi, not one thousand. So he said, "Can we make it less? Washing these clothes at the laundromat wouldn't even cost RMB."
"Alright, how about two hundred fifty?" Lin Hao joked.
Hearing Lin Hao's suggestion, Yang Lin almost agreed but quickly caught himself; otherwise, he would be mocked by Lin Hao and the others again. He laughed and scolded Lin Hao, "You're the one who's two hundred fifty! I'll offer five hundred Renminbi to treat you all to drinks, okay?"
"Eight hundred; no negotiation on that," Lin Hao replied.
"Fine, you're ruthless. Eight hundred it is," Yang Lin said angrily. Today's reward felt like a loss; with RMB still in his pocket and now having to part with eight hundred, he felt sad.
Li Ping was responsible for preparing the drinks and food for Lin Hao and the others; they just needed to ask. However, Li Ping wasn't in charge of snacks, so Yang Lin took all eight hundred Renminbi to buy snacks. There weren't many good things to buy in Chen Family Village; he needed to go to the county. Of course, when going to the county, they had to visit their own supermarket! Yang Lin was too tired and didn't want to go. Lin Hao wasn't familiar with the supermarket either, so only Jiang Dong knew it well enough. Thus, he rode his motorcycle to Pingyuan County to buy snacks.
Jiang Dong rode his motorcycle all the way to Pingyuan County. Upon arriving at the supermarket in Pingyuan County, he greeted the security guard at the entrance and went inside to shop. He was quite bold, bringing two waitresses to help him push the shopping cart. Jiang Dong saw a variety of snacks and tossed a bunch into the cart: chicken legs, chicken feet, dried tofu... a whole lot of items.
When it came time to check out, the total was over RMB. Fortunately, since they were Chen Haoxuan's people, they only charged him one thousand and five Renminbi for all those items. With so many colleagues watching, Jiang Dong felt embarrassed and decided to put some items back. Reluctantly, he ended up paying two hundred and five Renminbi out of his own pocket. After paying, he asked a staff member in the supermarket to help him pack the snacks into a box. He then strapped the box to the back of his motorcycle and rode back to Chen Family Village.
Once Jiang Dong returned to Chen Family Village and unloaded the items in their dormitory, he went to find Yang Lin. What did he want from Yang Lin? Of course, reimbursement!
Jiang Dong found Yang Lin at their usual laundry spot, where Yang Lin was washing his underwear. Jiang Dong walked over and handed the receipt to Yang Lin, saying, "One thousand and five Renminbi; you can keep the change. Just give me two hundred Renminbi."
Yang Lin turned to Jiang Dong and said, "Come on, Jiang Dong, are you kidding me? I asked you to buy snacks worth eight hundred Renminbi; how did you end up spending over a thousand? I’m not responsible for this; you bought it yourself." Yang Lin replied calmly. He wasn't from a wealthy family; earning money was tough for him! Every penny counted. If it weren't for Chen Haoxuan giving him over a thousand Renminbi in sponsorship each month, he wouldn't know how to get by unless he helped others watch gambling houses or fight.
"Go take a look at what I bought! Those items would cost at least three thousand Renminbi if bought outside. But I got them for just over RMB. Don't you think that's a good deal? Think about it; even though we are quite familiar with each other, there’s still some gap between us. To bridge that gap, you should spend some money on snacks for everyone to try; that way, we can easily build our relationship. Look how considerate I am! If you don’t reimburse me this two hundred Renminbi, I’ll just buy eight hundred Renminbi worth of snacks at market price for you instead," Jiang Dong insisted.
"I can give you the money, but you have to teach me martial arts," Yang Lin said seriously. He hadn't forgotten about Chen Haoxuan's bet with Matsui Ichiro—ten thousand Renminbi per round. Given Chen Haoxuan's usual generosity, he would definitely share any winnings with the victor. Yang Lin thought that if he could win ten thousand Renminbi, it would be like saving three or four months' worth of hard work.
