The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 845: Gao Li Falling into the Pit

After Li Qing’s deliberate evasion of the key issue, Yang Xuelan’s expression visibly softened.

"I’m asking you, did you mess around with that woman?" Yang Xuelan, holding her round belly, asked angrily.

Li Qing’s eyelids drooped slightly as he looked sideways at Gao Li; this question was a matter of life and death.

If this kid naively told the truth, he really couldn’t help him.

However, if he still stubbornly told the truth at this point, he truly deserved whatever came his way.

"No!" Gao Li shouted, "That woman sat on my lap, forcibly feeding me with a purpose. She did that just to keep me from getting away. Actually, I didn’t even touch her real parts. There was even a car lamp cover in there; it was just a close contact."

The sitting didn’t last long; it was almost within a minute or two after I sat down when several big men suddenly rushed in. I realized then that things were bad, and I wanted to run, but that woman hooked her arm around my neck and her legs around my waist; I had no chance to escape."

"You see, you see, you need to explain things more clearly. You can’t even speak clearly; you just keep your head down like a dead man. It’s no wonder Yang Xuelan gets angry. If it were me, I’d have broken your legs by now!" Li Qing slapped his hand and shouted.

Yang Xuelan was still somewhat skeptical, "Is it really like that? Then why did that woman call me and say you owed her money?"

"Sis, I have to defend him here. They’re using that excuse to extort money; they definitely had to say that," Li Qing said. "They are so bold to call asking for money, there must be some pretext, and it’s deliberately to torment people."

Yang Xuelan took a deep breath, glared fiercely at Gao Li, and shouted, "Clean up the yard, fix whatever is broken quickly. It’s too exhausting to talk to you; you just can’t make things clear. It’s not important if I get angry, but what if it harms the baby?"

"I mean... you didn’t give me a chance to speak," Gao Li said weakly.

"Hurry up and tidy things up, I’m going to rest for a while; I almost died from anger," Yang Xuelan cursed irritably, holding her already round belly, and turned back to her room.

Gao Li let out a huge sigh of relief, his shoulders immediately slumping.

Seeing him like this, even Li Qing felt suddenly relieved.

Gao Li fumbled in his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes, handing one to Li Qing.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment then took it, squatting next to Gao Li and asked in a low voice, "It’s not really like that, is it?"

Gao Li, looking guilty, glanced at Yang Xuelan’s room door and gently nodded, "If it weren’t for your reminder, I couldn’t have made up such an excuse. I actually did go to see a house yesterday, and it just so happened that there was a masseuse hidden inside; I couldn’t resist... "

"So, you did mess around, and you owe money?" Li Qing asked in shock.

Gao Li, looking ashamed, nodded.

"How much did you spend?" Li Qing asked, still shocked.

"Over five thousand..." Gao Li said meekly, "I spent all the money I had on me, and I’m still short by four hundred."

Li Qing, utterly shocked, asked, "Over five thousand? Did you get one that’s gold-plated?"

"That store was a bit shady to begin with," Gao Li said weakly, "At first they told me it was only four hundred, but once you take off your clothes, this needs extra money and that needs extra money. That woman was really smooth-talking too, I didn’t even notice it, and my money was just gone."

"Even if you weren’t paying attention, how could you spend over five thousand? From four hundred to five thousand, how many extras did you add?" Li Qing asked in astonishment. The gap between the two amounts made him seriously doubt whether Gao Li’s intelligence had been eroded by alcohol.

Gao Li took two big drags of his cigarette and muttered with his head down, "Four hundred is just the starting price. A mouth action added two hundred, a costume change another two hundred, using a yoga ball added two hundred. Then that woman said she had a ’girlfriend’ who could do aerial acrobatics; she’d hang upside down and use her mouth, even said she was great at sucking and all. I got tempted again and added eight hundred...." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"When that woman came in, she performed this aerial move and then said playing other games would cost extra...."

Li Qing quickly did the math in his head, "That should amount to just over three thousand at most. What else did you do?"

"Those two women showed me a health report, said they were very clean, and I could add two thousand for a choice between them to do it directly inside. I don’t know what I was thinking, I just agreed..." Gao Li said weakly.

Li Qing was thoroughly shocked, "Man, your willpower is really weak!"

"But, I advise you to rush to the hospital to check it out. That health report is likely fake, those women probably have diseases. Normally those who work in this line are afraid of getting sick. It’s rare for a woman to freely allow that."

There was a hint of red in Gao Li’s eyes as he suddenly looked up and asked, "Qingzi, you’re not kidding me, right?"

"Why would I lie about this? You better take some time to get checked soon. If you’re caught by these tricks, Yang Xuelan will literally kill you!" Li Qing said, "This might not be the old days where tricks didn’t cost anything, but an ’Immortal’ tricked you good."

"Then I... I’ll go now," Gao Li stamped out his cigarette by his foot and stood up immediately, pausing suddenly, then adding, "No, I need to clean up the yard first. This mess... I really regret it, I feel like slapping myself to death."

"It’s indeed necessary," Li Qing said, shaking his head. "Just go to a somewhat more formal place. These matters could be settled for just a thousand or two, and it wouldn’t be so troublesome." He continued, "Speaking of which, do you have rooms for rent here?"

"Rent? What do you need them for?" Gao Li asked, his mind clearly elsewhere.

He had been scared stiff by Li Qing’s earlier implications, his eyes lacking any sparkle.

Li Qing pointed to the half figure peeking into the doorway, "That woman wants to rent, said something about remodeling or something, I didn’t ask in detail. If you are willing to clear out two rooms, you could make a few thousand a year."

"Sure!" Gao Li agreed immediately, "We two can live in one room, and rent out the rest of the eastern side of the yard!"

"You should think it over, things might become inconvenient with this setup," Li Qing cautioned. "Also, don’t you think you should discuss it with Yang Xuelan? You can’t just decide this on your own."

This kid was overestimating his standing in the household a bit!

"She definitely won’t mind," Gao Li said, though he was already heading towards their bedroom.

Li Qing shook his head and laughed silently. This guy.

He waved to the woman standing at the doorway and said, "Come on in and take a look, you guys can negotiate face to face?"

"Brother, can they really rent it to me?" the woman asked in surprise.
