Mu Jingsheng's appearance didn't have much of an impact on Ye Yun. She still went to the store as usual, otherwise Tian Xiaohui wouldn't be able to manage the store alone.
When she arrived at the shop, Tian Xiaohui had already steamed a large pot of mung bean cakes.
Tian Xiaohui said, "We'll be closed tomorrow, so we'll just make more so our customers can buy more to take home. That way, even if we're not open, they can still enjoy mung bean cakes at home."
Ye Yun praised her for doing a good job.
Tian Xiaohui chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.
Perhaps because she was going home, she worked extra hard. Ye Yun stayed in the store to help her finish the morning rush hour, then took a few dozen yuan from the counter to go out and buy something.
Having finally made it back, they certainly couldn't go back empty-handed.
Finally, Ye Yun took a stroll outside, bought some tonics for Qin Zheng's grandmother, a dress for Qin Xiang'e, and some loose candy.
After that, she picked out some candies and peach shortbread, which Tian Xiaohui was to take back.
Tian Xiaohui had only come home once in a long time. She was such a young woman and still unmarried. Even if Aunt Tian doted on her, she couldn't escape being disliked by her brother and sister-in-law. Her brother and sister-in-law might not say it openly, but who knew what they were thinking behind her back? Taking some things back was to shut them up.
Around noon, Ye Yun finally walked out of the department store carrying large and small bags.
The department store wasn't far from her shop; it would take about twenty minutes to walk there slowly without riding a bicycle.
As a result, she was hurriedly stopped by someone before she even reached the shop.
"Seller of bean cakes! Something's happened at your shop! You're pregnant, so please don't go there! Hide quickly!" A shopkeeper nearby saw her and waved anxiously, shouting.
Something happened?
Ye Yun looked up and saw a crowd gathered in front of her shop not far away. The crowd craned their necks to look into her shop, and there were noisy noises coming from inside.
Her heart sank, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Tian Xiaohui is still in the store!
"Hey, you...you're pregnant!"
Seeing that she was still trying to rush forward, bystanders kindly stepped forward and pulled her back.
People around them also tried to dissuade them, saying that there are still many good people in this world. Ever since Ye Yun opened her bean cake shop, it has brought in more customers, not to mention that Ye Yun is currently pregnant.
Ye Yun couldn't help but rub her forehead, almost forgetting that she was carrying a child in her belly.
"Sister, what's going on with my shop?" She had no choice but to stop and ask quickly.
The woman gestured with her chin, "I didn't hear it very clearly, but it seemed to be related to those hooligans who came to your shop last time!"
Little thug?
Ye Yun remembered that Qin Zheng and Gu Jin had taken him to the police station.
Seeing her looking worried, the kind-hearted older sister patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, your sister is very capable. Those people have been causing trouble for a while, but they haven't gotten the better of her!"
Bang!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Tian Xiaohui was grabbed by the collar, the door was shoved open, and she was thrown onto the street!
"Xiao Hui!"
Ye Yun's heart tightened.
She grabbed a cleaver from a nearby watermelon stand and ran quickly toward the shop, shouting, "Don't touch her!"
"Why can't it hold up anymore?"
The older woman stared blankly at Tian Xiaohui, who had been thrown out, completely bewildered.
Ye Yun could see clearly that the two men who threw Tian Xiaohui out were adult men, and a middle-aged couple were standing at the door, angrily pointing at Tian Xiaohui and cursing her.
The two men not only threw Tian Xiaohui out of the store, but they also raised their feet to kick her.
Tian Xiaohui suffered many injuries during the confrontation with them, and now she was sitting on the ground in a sorry state. When the man raised his foot to kick her, she could only raise her hand to block it.
Just as the man's foot was about to kick Tian Xiaohui's face—
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out—
"stop!"
A long, sharp watermelon-shaped cleaver slashed towards the man's foot, scaring him to death. Ye Yun arrived just in time.
Bang!
The watermelon cleaver finally struck the man's leg hard. He couldn't dodge it in time and fell to the ground in pain, clutching his leg and screaming in agony.
Ye Yun quickly put away her knife and rushed to help Tian Xiaohui, who was lying on the ground.
At this moment, Tian Xiaohui's nostrils were bleeding from the blow, and her face was bruised and swollen as she stared blankly at her, seemingly still not recovered from the shock.
Seeing the girl beaten like this, Ye Yun felt a surge of anger.
"It's alright, it's alright." She hugged Tian Xiaohui and patted her back gently to comfort her.
Tian Xiaohui seemed to snap out of her daze, then suddenly hugged her tightly and burst into tears, crying, "Sister-in-law! You're finally back! They bullied me!!"
She felt extremely wronged.
Ye Yun felt heartbroken and quickly patted her back to comfort her.
The man whose leg she chopped off with a machete was rolling on the ground, repeatedly shouting, "My leg, my leg is gone..."
"I didn't use the blade!"
Ye Yun threw out a cold remark, her icy gaze fixed on the man.
The man's cries stopped abruptly.
He stared at Ye Yun in astonishment, seemingly only then realizing that his leg was only experiencing a dull ache rather than the sharp pain of being cut off. Looking down, he saw that not a single drop of blood was flowing from his leg.
Ye Yun had just used the back of a watermelon knife to cut his leg.
The middle-aged couple who had been shouting and cursing at the door, along with another man, quickly stepped forward to help the man up, seemingly very concerned about him. They asked him all sorts of questions, and finally all turned their anger towards Ye Yun.
The middle-aged man said fiercely, "Little girl, don't try to be a hero. Today I'll skin you alive!"
The middle-aged woman also said, "You're Ye Yun, the owner of this shop, right? You're the one who sent my daughter to the police station? Let me tell you, my daughter still hasn't been released from the police station. She was bullied in there, and I'm not letting this go!"
Another man chimed in, "That's right, this isn't over! Don't think we brothers won't beat you up just because you're a woman! Today, we, the older brothers, are here to avenge our sister!"
Ye Yun understood.
It turned out they were the family members of the female classmate who had come that day, and they had come to cause trouble.
Despite being outnumbered and outmatched, Ye Yun remained calm and gripped the watermelon cleaver tightly, sneering, "It was the police station that took your daughter away. She was the one who came to my shop to extort and rob me first. You should be making a scene at the police station, not here."
"Pah! If you hadn't called the police, would my daughter have been arrested?!"
The middle-aged woman spat.
The middle-aged man immediately chimed in, "You little brat who hasn't even grown up yet! Listen up, I'm telling you to come with me to the police station to withdraw the charges! Those guys in hats said that if you withdraw the charges, they'll release my daughter. If you know what's good for you, come with me right now!"
What?
Ye Yun couldn't help but pick at her ear and asked, "You... came to my shop to cause trouble, hoping I'd go to the police station to withdraw the charges?"
"Otherwise what!"
The middle-aged man was extremely arrogant, holding his head high as if he wanted to look down on Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was so angry she laughed.
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience... This is the first time I've ever seen someone beg for a favor like this!"
