Looking at the enormous numbers on the system page, System Xiao Wang couldn't help but feel a little proud; after all, this was its host!

Xu Jinhuan smiled slightly and thought to himself, "I'm determined to get the protagonist's halo this time!"

System Xiao Wang nodded seriously.

[Based on the host's faith value growth rate, there will be absolutely no problem!]

Xu Jinhuan loved the way her little system blindly worshipped her. In the apocalypse, her loyal little brother had also showered her with compliments.

Just as Xu Jinhuan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard people arguing in the crowd.

"I'm sorry, you've already been here today. Our grain shop has a rule that each person can only buy five dou of grain per day."

"Bullshit! I've never been to your store before. Are you trying to make things difficult for me because you don't want to sell us grain that isn't going up in price?"

Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw a middle-aged man dressed in coarse green clothes, who was making things difficult for the waiter.

The quick-witted shop assistant was not intimidated by the man. He calmly replied, "You came to the shop at noon today and bought five bushels of coarse grain. You were wearing brown coarse cloth clothes at the time."

If I remember correctly, you also have several dark brown patches on your lower back.

The man seemed surprised that the guy remembered so clearly, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. But then he shouted loudly, disregarding everything else, "You think I came here just because you say so? Who knows if what you're saying is just made up?"

"Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by these unscrupulous merchants. They probably just want to sell us cheap grain again now that their shops have a good reputation!"

The people in line initially thought it was just a regular dispute, but upon hearing the man's words, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

They haven't bought today's food yet. What will they do if the price goes up?

Upon thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but start discussing it.

"No way, the price isn't really going to go up, is it?"

"I don't think so. The owner is still here. He seems like a kind person. He definitely won't do it."

"But why did she have to come at this particular time of year? It's all very suspicious!"

The shop assistants were quite angry, not expecting this person to be so unreasonable and trying to turn black into white.

"How can you be like this? We promised from the moment we opened the store that the price of grain would not rise easily!"

"It's clearly your fault, what right do you have to criticize our shop?"

The man in the green coarse cloth clothes persisted, saying, "What can your empty words prove? I could also say that the price of grain in my family doesn't go up, but my family doesn't even run a grain shop."

Xu Jinhuan walked to the front, her face beaming with smiles, but the smiles didn't reach her eyes. She glanced at the man and then spoke.

“Our shop does not welcome liars and troublemakers. From today onwards, our grain shop will no longer sell you grain.”

Furthermore, our shop doesn't need to prove anything to you, because the price of this grain is obvious to everyone.

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan turned to the people in line and said something else.

"It's getting late, everyone. Let's hurry up and buy some food. It's really not worth wasting time going home to cook for our children because of someone like this!"

Xu Jinhuan's words served as a reminder to everyone who had been somewhat worried.

“The landlord is right. This man clearly wants to take advantage of us and buy more often. Instead of ignoring him, let’s hurry up and buy the grain.”

"That's right, we're completely out of rice. The kids are waiting for this meal, we need to hurry and buy some!"

"The owner is really kind. Just thinking about how I doubted what that man was saying makes me feel so ashamed. I will never help anyone who talks about this shop again!"

Everyone chattered amongst themselves while queuing to buy food, creating a surprisingly harmonious atmosphere.

The middle-aged man in green stood awkwardly in the grain shop, unsure whether to leave or stay...

If he leaves, it would prove that what he said was false. He won't get away with it if he doesn't leave, but if he doesn't leave, he doesn't know how to break the deadlock.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at him and then said to the men, "You guys worked well together. Keep it up. I'll take this guy to the backyard to sort things out."

The quick-witted shop assistant glanced at the burly middle-aged man, then at his owner who appeared remarkably frail in comparison, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Master, would you like me to come with you?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and shook his head, "No need, we don't need anyone's help to teach this kind of scum a lesson."

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan kicked the man to the doorway connecting the shop and the backyard.

"ah!"

The man in green slammed heavily against the door, only to bounce back. The intense pain caused him to scream in agony.

Not only were the shop assistants stunned, but the elderly women who sold grain in the shop were also stunned.

"My God, that kick..."

"This is stronger than the cows back in my hometown!"

"The owner of this grain shop is truly a hidden master; he's quite formidable!"

The men listened to the aunt's sentiments and nodded in agreement, especially the clever young man, who nodded his head like a rattle drum.

When he thought of his earlier concerns about his employer, he wished he could take back what he had said. With his employer's skills, why would he need his help?

After buying the grain, the aunties and grandmas started chatting with the curious villagers who had just heard the noise as soon as they stepped outside.

"Guess what we just saw?"

The people in line said helplessly, "How are we supposed to know what you saw? Tell us already, we're all curious!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately began to vividly recount what had just happened.

"That bastard deserves to be taught a lesson! I just realized that he not only wanted to cheat the boss, but also us." A scholar-looking man said indignantly.

A simple-looking, burly man scratched his head and asked, "Huh? What could he possibly scam us out of?"

The scholar glanced at him helplessly, "Are you stupid? What if this guy really incites the grain buyers to express their dissatisfaction with the owner?"

Even if you rack your brains, you can imagine that the landlord will inevitably raise prices in a fit of anger. Where will we buy grain that won't increase in price then?

After hearing the scholar's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement. Yes, then they would have to buy grain with rising prices!

That guy in the green shirt is really wicked!

"What a heartless bastard! I curse him so that none of his children will be his own, and he'll have to raise other people's children!" an old woman cursed angrily.

The onlookers exchanged silent glances. Sure enough, your aunt is still your aunt; she knows best how to kill by hurting people's hearts, and even her insults can pierce their souls.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the grain shop, Xu Jinhuan also began the interrogation.
