She took a deep breath and told the whole story in a calm and logical tone. The stall owners around her nodded secretly.

"This little girl is very calm when faced with difficulties!" exclaimed an old lady selling candied haws.

"That's right, I thought she was going to cry!" another uncle selling dolls also echoed.

After listening to Shen Qiqi's story, Uncle Wang stroked his beard and said, "That rascal Sun is getting more and more unreasonable! He relies on his power to bully people and oppress the good! Today, I must teach him a lesson!"

Uncle Wang's powerful voice instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding stall owners. Everyone gathered around and started talking about it.

"That's right, this Sun the ruffian is too arrogant!"

"He even stole my stall last time. If my son hadn't come, I, with my old arms and legs, would have been beaten up by him!"

"This temple fair management is really something. They take the money and then don't do anything about it. They are simply aiding and abetting the evil!"

Sun Dipi was being accused by everyone, and his face was a little embarrassed. He stiffened his neck and shouted fiercely, "You...you guys, stop talking nonsense! I...I am the bully of this temple fair. Who dares to offend me?"

Uncle Wang sneered, "A bully? I think you're just a thug! Today, I'm going to enforce justice on the people and give you a good beating!"

As he said that, Uncle Wang rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward to argue with Sun the gangster.

Seeing this, Lu Qing quickly stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Uncle Wang's face changed, and then he showed a meaningful smile.

"Good boy, you've got it!" Uncle Wang patted Lu Qing on the shoulder, then turned to the crowd and said, "Fellow villagers, let's leave this matter today to Xiao Lu! I believe he will give us a satisfactory explanation!"

Lu Qing smiled slightly,

Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing's confident smile, her heart full of anticipation.

Just then, a greasy voice came from outside the crowd: "Hey, it's so lively? What happened?"

Boss Li, with his big belly sticking out, squeezed through the crowd and asked with a look of "concern"...

Boss Li squeezed to the front of the crowd, his fat face filled with a hypocritical smile, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, what's going on? What are you guys doing?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing intentionally or unintentionally, with a barely perceptible sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Boss Li, you're here at the right time!" Administrator Zhang immediately put on a flattering face, moved closer to Boss Li, and told the story again with exaggeration. Of course, the objects of exaggeration were naturally Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing.

After hearing this, Boss Li slapped his thigh in mock surprise. "Oh my, is there such a thing? This scoundrel Sun is too outrageous! But…" He dragged out the last syllable, a sly look in his eyes. "Not everyone can get a good spot at this temple fair. I paid a huge price to rent this stall!"

He deliberately raised his voice, as if he was afraid that people around him couldn't hear him.

"I tell you, if you don't have a hundred dollars for this Feng Shui treasure land, don't even think about it!" He stretched out a greasy finger and gestured in the air, his eyes full of provocation.

One hundred yuan!

In the 1970s, this was no small sum of money.

The stall owners around gasped and started talking about it.

"One hundred yuan? This Boss Li is too ruthless!"

"That's right, this is clearly bullying!"

"I'm afraid this young couple has no hope..."

Shen Qiqi listened to the discussions around her, but her heart was unusually calm.

She knew that Boss Li was deliberately raising the price in order to make her give up.

She is not easily intimidated!

She took a deep breath and looked at Boss Li with a determined look. "Boss Li, aren't you exaggerating a bit? One hundred dollars? Why don't you just rob a bank?"

Boss Li was stunned by Shen Qiqi's retort, then burst into laughter, "Little girl, you are quite arrogant! If you can come up with a hundred yuan, this stall is yours. I, Boss Li, keep my word!"

Shen Qiqi ignored Boss Li's provocation and turned to look at the stall owners around her, her eyes full of sincerity. "Uncles and aunts, grandpas and aunties, you are all veteran stall owners at the temple fair. You should know what kind of person Boss Li is, right? If he can bully us today, he can bully you tomorrow! Are we just going to let him do whatever he wants?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was resounding and echoed among the crowd.

The stall owners around were silent. They were all thinking and watching.

Shen Qiqi knew that her chance had come.

She smiled slightly, a sly look in her eyes, "Everyone, I have a suggestion..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Qing suddenly grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear, "Qiqi, don't worry, I have a solution." His eyes gleamed with confidence, and a mysterious smile curled up at the corner of his mouth...
