Chapter Twelve Made Money

  "Milk? Do you want milk or yogurt?" I asked after a moment's pause.

  She puckered her mouth, stretched out her finger and pointed at my chest.

  "I want to drink your milk. I also drink my mom's milk at home." She clucked a few times, "It just looks like you don't have much milk."

  I was instantly petrified, and all I could feel was a nuclear explosion in my brain, completely stunned.

  "Is there?" she asked again.

  I shook my head.

  She stared at me with an expression of disbelief.

  "Sister, how old are you?" I asked after a long silence.

  "I'm eighteen," she said.

  "Aren't you a bit old for this? You're an adult now! And yet you still drink milk?"

  "Can't an eighteen-year-old drink milk anymore?" she asked me in a daze.

  "No." I said firmly.

  "Oh." She nodded, "So I'm seventeen now, can I have milk then?"

  To be honest, at that moment I really had the urge to kick her out of the galaxy, but seeing she was a woman, I restrained myself.

  "There's no milk here, let alone bamboo shoots. There's only ham, instant noodles, mantou and water - just these four things, if you don't want to eat them then forget it."

  I'm too lazy to talk to her anymore, so I directly laid it out for her.

  She lowered her head and took a glance at the ham in her hand, then lifted it up and put it under her nose to take a sniff.

  "Do you have a computer?" She threw the ham on the ground and asked me.

  "What are you doing? You're not thinking of eating the computer, are you?" I scratched my head and asked cautiously.

  "Is the computer delicious?" She blinked her eyes.

  "It's really tiring to communicate with someone who doesn't share a common language."

  "It's not whether it tastes good or bad, it's just that you can't eat it." I said.

  "I remembered something my mother told me." She held her mouth agape, her eyes wide as if recalling something.

  "What's up?" I lay on the bed, yawned and asked casually.

  "My mom said that as long as there's a computer, we can have lots and lots of food on Earth." She continued, "Can you send me a computer?"

  "Give you my computer? I only have one, if I give it to you what will I use to watch movies?" I said bluntly. "Didn't your mom put some money in your pocket when you went out? And besides, you don't even have clothes, where would you even put the money?"

  "Money? I remembered, my mom said she put the money in the computer." She said to me, "It seems like some kind of treasure."

  "Taobao?" I sat up suddenly, "Did your mom leave you a Taobao account?"

  "It seems so, this name is quite familiar." she replied.

  My eyes lit up and I got out of bed.

  "Come with me." I pulled her hand and dragged her in front of my computer desk.

  "Is this a computer?" She glanced at my laptop and asked.

  "Right." I nodded and emphasized again, "But this can't be eaten. This is for play, eating it will kill people. Don't eat it."

  "Don't worry, I'm a obedient child." She said lightly, pursing her lips.

  "Think quickly, did your mother leave you any account or something?" I opened the Taobao login page and asked her.

  "My mom left a string of numbers on my arm." She said suddenly after thinking for a long time.

  "Let me take a look." I hastily stood up and looked at her arm.

  She rolled up the sleeves on her left arm, revealing a pale and slender limb. On that pale and slender limb were scattered some dark marks, indeed something had been left behind.

  "What kind of ink is this? Can't even be washed off?" I lowered my head and took a closer look, and indeed it was Taobao's account number. It seems that her mother still cares about her quite a bit, leaving her with such an account, but I have no idea how much money is in the account.

  "I washed it for a long time but couldn't wash it off." She said with a pursed mouth, "Maybe it's because of the spell my mom cast."

  "Auntie's here, fortunately you didn't wash it away." I wasn't listening carefully to what she was saying, "Be careful, stand still there, wait for me to get this thing up, and maybe you'll have milk to drink."

  "Really?" She was thrilled as soon as she heard there was milk to drink.

  I quickly logged in to this account online. When I opened the account and took a look, the balance inside was a 1 followed by five zeros.

  One hundred thousand!

  This girl's account actually has 100,000 yuan.

  I turned to look at her, then looked at the balance on this computer, full of surprise. I didn't expect that this catch not only caught a beauty, but also a genuine rich and beautiful woman.

  "What's wrong? Is there milk?" she asked, looking at me.

  "Ah, ah, ah! I burst out laughing, "I didn't think you had so much money!"

  "I don't want money, I want milk." She muttered under her breath.

  "With money, there's milk." I said, and then thought about her IQ, feeling that it wasn't necessary to explain anything to her. This girl was probably born with a low IQ, which is why her family had left so many bank accounts on her arm, waiting for kind-hearted people to use the money to support her.

  I thought about it and felt that things are a bit more reasonable after all.

  Picked up a mentally challenged beauty and an extra 100,000 yuan, this time jumping into the river wasn't in vain.

  I couldn't help but laugh for a long time, until the girl asked again: "You're cheating, where's the milk? I want to drink milk!"

  I awkwardly put away my triumphant smile.

  "Sister, I can help you buy milk, but I shouldn't be doing it for free, right? Besides, you're living in my place, sleeping in my bed, wearing my clothes..."

  "Do you want money?" She interrupted me before I could finish speaking.

  "I...I didn't expect you to react so quickly," I said, my face suddenly turning red. "Sister, it's not that I want your money, I'm a person who always does good deeds without expecting anything in return, I'm the modern-day Lei Feng. It's just that this is a materialistic era, everything costs money when you go out, and I'm also being forced into this situation. How about this? I'll let you stay here for a few more days, and I'll only charge you 100 yuan per day, including food and lodging?"

  She frowned and looked at me.

  "What? Little sister, you're not willing? This price is the cheapest, you can go ask around, in Hongshan City, how many five-star hotels have a daily rate of 100 yuan for food and accommodation? Absolutely none. Moreover, your IQ has some problems, what if you encounter bad people? I'm taking care of you not for money, but for your safety..."

  "Don't say that anymore." She pouted.

  "Is one hundred too much?" I asked tentatively, puzzled by this silly beautiful girl who had suddenly become so meticulous, "How about ninety then?"

  She didn't say anything, still gazing at me with a resentful expression.

  "Is ninety too many? How about eighty?"

  "Seventy?"

  "Sixty? Little sister, it can't be any less, if it's any less, brother won't be able to live."

  "Sister, are you going to say something or not?" I asked, seeing that she had been silent for a while and couldn't help but ask.

  "Don't say that anymore." She said the same thing again.

  "What was I saying?" I asked, dazed.

  "Milk! I want milk! I don't drink money, you can take it all if you want!" She seemed to be angry, stamping her foot and saying to me.

  Are you taking everything?

  Is it just going to fall into our hands for 100,000 yuan?

  I felt pleased with myself, but after thinking about it again, I thought this was too unscrupulous. Would doing so be considered deceiving an innocent girl? Wouldn't a man like me, who is supposed to be chivalrous and noble, doing such a thing be too shameful?

  Isn't it just 100,000 yuan? Do I have to sell out my conscience for 100,000 yuan?

  Money is not omnipotent, people live not for money.

  To be a good person, you must adhere to the moral baseline.

  I thought of many famous quotes about morality and suddenly felt much more noble.

  I looked at this poor mentally handicapped beauty and then looked at the 100,000 yuan in my account, I finally made up my mind.

  Money, I can't live without it. Transfer it to my account first and then we'll talk about morality.

  Well, it's been decided so happily then.

  I transferred all the money to my account at once, and then I asked the stupid beautiful girl with a smile: "Sister, I'll help you save the money first. When you want it, I'll return it to you. Of course, I will deduct the rent, water and electricity fees, food expenses, spiritual accompaniment fees for these few days..."

  "I want milk!" The beautiful girl didn't wait for me to finish speaking and urged me, looking at her appearance, I guess she was already starving.

  I don't know how many days this guy hasn't eaten, looking at her delicate and tender appearance, she looks like a rich girl.

  "You wait for me, I'll go find milk for you." Having taken her 100,000 yuan, he naturally had to help her with something. At the very least, he couldn't let her go hungry.

  She nodded and motioned for me to hurry up and go.

  "By the way, I still don't know your name?" I took two steps forward and turned around to ask her.

  "My name is Baby," said the girl to me.

  "Baby?" I was stunned for a moment, "This name is really damn nice."

  "My mom says so too." Baby showed a smiling face.
