The man could no longer stand, swallowed hard, and said, "I...I don't want it anymore!"

He left those words behind, turned around, and ran away along the stone path.

Lin Dazhuang's confusion deepened. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with him?" This man is acting strangely. He said he wanted to buy sweet soup, but then he didn't!

Their clothes were rather tattered, making them look like villagers from some village, but they claimed to be from nearby.

Wan Qiqi sat down with her bowl of sweet soup, took a sip, and shrugged. "Who knows?"

She didn't know the man's name, but she had seen him before; he was a villager from Guanshi Village!

The villagers of Guanshi Village walked to the end of the stone-paved road, turned into a small alley, and stammered, "I...I dare not, she seems to recognize me!"

Li Fugui cursed something, glared at the man, and said, "How come you can't even handle such a small matter?"

He originally planned to send someone to buy him a cup of sugar water, then pretend to have a stomachache after drinking it, so he could cause trouble for Wan Qiqi, ruin her business, and drive her out of Baizhi Town. However, the person he sent was not up to par!

If Wan Qiqi hadn't known him, he would have gone on his own and handled things perfectly.

This isn't Guanshi Village; he can't act as he pleases here. There's a head of household in this area, and he makes the decisions about driving people away; it's not up to him.

But as long as something happens in the town, the head of the household can step in, arrest and punish Wan Qiqi, or kick her out so that she can never set foot in Baizhi Town again. If she spreads the news that she got a stomachache from drinking the sweet soup, she can forget about doing business!

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but it all fell apart because of the person who arranged things.

The group huddled together, ready to devise a new plan to deal with Wan Qiqi.

What are you discussing here?
