Chapter 206: Grabbing the Pearl

Chapter 207: Grabbing the Pearl

Fang Qing glanced at Li Yuna who was following closely behind him, and then quickly walked towards the Kaibei stall.

"Boss, how much is this shell?"

Fang Qing pretended to be very interested in the clams on the stall, pointing at the oversized clam in the boss's hand with a look of curiosity on his face.

The boss had just opened a clam for a customer. Seeing Fang Qing coming over, he immediately introduced enthusiastically, "Girl, are you opening a clam? These are our freshwater cultured pearls. We guarantee that every clam has a pearl. After you open one, we can help you drill a hole and make it into a pendant or ring. It will definitely look good when you take it out. Now we have a promotion, five yuan for one and ten yuan for three. Do you want to open two and try it?"

Seeing Li Yuna following him, Fang Qing immediately shouted, "So cheap, give me all of these, and I'll make a necklace for my mother later..."

Sure enough, after hearing what Fang Qing said, Li Yuna immediately chased after him and grabbed the clam on the table before Fang Qing. "Hey, this is what I saw first. I'll go first, you go away! This clam is really big, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"

The boss nearby saw that the two people were fighting over clams and immediately felt that business was coming. He was afraid that Fang Qing would be angry and leave because there were no clams, so he smiled and comforted them while his hands flew around, quickly opening the pile of clams that Li Yuna had snatched away.

"Don't be impatient, girl. I'll open it for you right after I open it for this girl... Don't rush, we all have it..."

But Fang Qing seemed to suddenly remember something and waved his hand quickly, "No need for now, I haven't finished shopping yet, I'll come over after I finish shopping..."

The boss was not angry at this. After all, most people were waiting and watching when it came to opening clams. So he smiled and said, "It's okay. Just come back later."

At this time, all the clams in the boss's hands had been opened. Although no perfect pearls were produced from the more than ten clams, each clam had several small pearls, and if they were gathered together, there were a small handful.

The boss cleaned the pearls neatly and then pushed the small bowl of pearls in front of Li Yuna. "Girl, these pearls are well opened. There are fifteen in total. The total is fifty yuan. Please pay!"

When Li Yuna heard this, she was stunned.

All these broken clams together only produced such a handful of broken pearls, and they cost fifty dollars?

She used her fingers to pick at the pearls in the small bowl with disdain, and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, "It's just this broken thing! How dare you ask for fifty yuan? Isn't this robbery? And you see, these beads are not round at all, what can you do with such a small amount? Forget it, I don't want it. Didn't the woman just now want it? You guys give it to her..."

Li Yuna's unreasonable demands made the boss immediately put away his smile. "Girl, you snatched these clams from someone else, and they are live clams. Once they are opened, you can't return them. I opened them and you said you don't want them. Are you kidding me?"

As the boss spoke, he glanced at his assistant who was helping him. Several men came over and immediately surrounded Li Yuna who was about to leave. "Girl, it's only fifty yuan. You don't look like someone who needs this little money. Why don't you pay first..."

Li Yuna was surrounded by several men. The oppressive feeling instantly frightened her. She wanted to turn around and leave immediately but was stopped by several men. "What are you doing? I don't want this thing anymore. Didn't I say I gave it to that woman just now? Why are you stopping me? Go find that woman..."

Hearing her words, the boss looked at her with contempt and sneered, "Girl, someone wanted to buy some just now, but you ran over and grabbed the clams first. Now that you are not satisfied with the results, you push them to someone else. Do you think this is reasonable? Why should I go to someone else? Aren't you bullying me too much?"

But Li Yuna didn't care about that. She just stood there and refused to pay. "You are a bunch of liars. You deliberately tricked me into opening these clams. I'm telling you, if you try to stop me, I will sue you at the Industry and Commerce Bureau!"

After hearing what Li Yuna said, the boss' smile finally disappeared from his face. He stuck the clam knife in his hand on the table and said, "Okay, then I want to see if the police will come to help me or to help you who cheat people without paying."

Li Yuna didn't expect this to happen. The big men around her had gloomy faces and pressed forward step by step, which finally scared Li Yuna. She looked around and saw that her boyfriend didn't catch up, and Fang Qing was nowhere to be seen. She couldn't beat so many people by herself. It seemed that she couldn't leave without paying. So she took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and took out fifty yuan and threw it on the table with a distressed look.

"Okay? I've paid you, now you can let me go?"

The boss took the money worriedly, looked at it in the light for a long time, and flicked it against his ears twice. When he heard the crisp sound of the banknotes, he nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to send the few people away.

As the men dispersed, Li Yuna was finally able to leave and quickly returned to the supermarket.

Thinking about the fifty yuan she had just paid out, Li Yuna felt very distressed. Fifty yuan could buy a bag of rice, a big piece of meat, and two pairs of good pants, but now it was all gone because of that woman! If that woman hadn't run to the pearl stall, how could she have lost fifty yuan inexplicably? It was all her fault!

Thinking of this, Li Yuna gnashed her teeth in hatred. She quickly returned to the supermarket and looked around for Fang Qing and the others. She was determined to vent her anger on her and make up for her losses!

Soon, Li Yuna finally found Fang Ming and his friends in the queue at the cashier counter. Seeing Fang Qing packing his things, she pushed through the crowd and squeezed over.

"You! Stop right there! Pay me!"

Fang Qing was startled by Li Yuna who suddenly appeared in front of him. After seeing that it was her, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Pretty fast, isn't the pearl pretty?"

Speaking of pearls, Li Yuna became even angrier. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Fang Qing's nose and cursed, "Pretty as hell! You want fifty yuan for just a bunch of broken pearls! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have spent this money! Don't you want to open the pearls? Give me fifty and I'll give you the pearls!"

Fang Qing was amused when he heard this. "I was just curious about what kind of clam it was. I didn't say I wanted to open the pearls. You were the one who opened it before me. What? You're not satisfied with what you opened, so you want to force me to sell you something you don't want. Do you think I'm stupid? Aren't you a bit too bullying?"

The people queuing around were already dissatisfied with Li Yuna's rude pushing when she came in, and now they sneered at Fang Qing's explanation and pointed fingers at her.

"Look at her like that. She doesn't look like a good person..."

"That's right, he's ugly and has no morals, so annoying!"

"These days, there are really all kinds of birds in a big forest..."
