Hearing Meng Zhao say this, Gu Shi took out a money bag and was about to count out Fang Pozi's money.

Seeing that they were willing to give money, Granny Fang was too lazy to argue. She rolled her eyes at Li Yumei and waited on the side.

When it was her turn, Li Yumei stepped forward and placed the dishes she had brought on the table.

“Qing’an’s wife, look at these Chinese toon leaves I’ve picked. They’re all tender tips that I just picked this morning. Look, the dew is still on them.”

She's already said what she wanted to say, so naturally she has to abide by it. If they're going to investigate, then they can investigate everything. Anyway, her vegetables are fresh, so there's nothing to worry about.

The toon leaves in the basket have thick stems and small leaves, with a brownish-red color; they are clearly freshly picked tender tips.

Meng Zhao didn't check the basket and simply took it. "No need to check. I trust the vegetables my sister-in-law brought. Mother, weigh them and pay my sister-in-law."

Granny Fang was so angry she was about to vomit blood. It turned out that only her dishes needed to be inspected, while everyone else's didn't.

Li Yumei was overjoyed. She had only spoken out of disapproval of Granny Fang's usual behavior, but if Meng Zhao hadn't appreciated it, it would have made her seem like a busybody. Now, seeing Granny Fang acting as if she had swallowed a fly was incredibly satisfying.

Several young wives nearby covered their mouths and chuckled. Everyone in the village knew that Granny Fang loved to take advantage of others.

It wasn't that Meng Zhao was forgetful or that she didn't check in order to spite Granny Fang; it was simply unnecessary. Everyone was a neighbor, and there were very few people like Granny Fang.

Besides, given Granny Fang's example and the village head's instructions, it's unlikely anyone would dare to fool them on such a matter.

In fact, she couldn't understand Granny Fang's behavior either. She had only encountered people who only did business once at train stations or tourist attractions.

After all, once the train departs, you'll probably never see each other again in this lifetime, and most people are in a hurry to finish their trip and don't want to cause any trouble.

Therefore, these people don't need repeat customers and can confidently deceive people.

But the neighbors in this village, who see each other all the time, still dared to do these things, which can only be attributed to their vulnerability to the orphans and widows.
