"After causing that mess yesterday, you still want to come back and do business well? Haha... Brother Zhou, to be honest, don't be angry, your sister is really a bit delusional."
Standing next to Zhou Chen, Zhang Dafu could clearly see the deserted scene at the stall opposite and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Chen was naturally not angry and said calmly, "She brought it all on herself, so she has no one else to blame."
To resort to violence against a customer is an extremely egregious act.
Although Fanjia County is not small, it is not particularly large either. The fact that a fight between a stall owner and a customer could escalate to the point of involving the police is not exactly common knowledge, but many people have at least heard of it, especially those who frequently visit the night market.
As a result, many people kept their distance from Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's stalls, as no one wanted to buy food and then get beaten up.
Moreover, the taste was just average.
Even if someone wanted to try it, they would be turned away by people who knew what happened yesterday.
It can only be said that Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun have only themselves to blame.
They can't sell them!
I can't sell them at all. I've been shouting for about ten minutes, but not a single customer has come.
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun looked as if they had swallowed flies.
The most devastating and psychologically damaging point is...
They sold their goods at a lower price, 50 cents cheaper than Zhou Chen's stall, but nobody paid attention, while Zhou Chen's stall had a line of more than a dozen customers.
In contrast, it's a slap in the face.
Customers would rather spend an extra 50 cents than buy the cheaper one.
In addition, consumers have a herd mentality; seeing others queuing, they also want to join the queue and try it out.
During this time, customers inevitably chatted about why no one was buying stinky tofu from the stall across the street, and then Zhou Chen's regular customers immediately told them about what happened yesterday.
For a moment, many customers cast strange glances at them.
This left the two feeling both frustrated and angry.
They both knew that it was most likely yesterday's incident that had spread, causing many people to be afraid or unwilling to come and spend money.
Even so, there shouldn't be a single customer.
It's impossible for everyone to know what happened yesterday.
"Honey, did your brother deliberately tell everyone what happened yesterday to ruin our reputation and make sure we have no business?"
Zhao Kun concluded that this matter was related to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen saw that they also sold stinky tofu, and coincidentally, they made a mistake yesterday, which was then magnified and caused no one to buy from them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be without a single customer.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's expression flashed, and she thought it was very likely. After all, Zhou Chen was a ruthless and cold-blooded older brother who was fully capable of doing such a thing.
To ruin her sister's career and then watch the show.
Right now, you're probably laughing your head off inside.
"I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Zhou Ling coldly uttered these words and walked straight to the stall opposite. She wanted an explanation and to question Zhou Chen about why he treated her this way.
She pursued love and was with Zhao Kun. What was wrong with that? Why be so cruel to her?
Just because she wanted a dowry?
But you, Zhou Chen, didn't give it to me either.
As Zhou Ling approached, she overheard the customers in line discussing her and Zhao Kun, saying that their stinky tofu was fake and couldn't compare to Zhou Chen's authentic stinky tofu at all, and that she had a bad attitude, etc.
"Is it interesting to gossip about people behind their backs? You long-tongued women, always gossiping about others, be careful that your tongues are cut off by the King of Hell after you die."
Zhou Ling was aggressive and didn't care that these people were Zhou Chen's customers. She didn't care that Zhou Chen had ruined her reputation, since they weren't her customers anyway.
"Did we name names? What's it to you? Some people have such low character. How dare they try to be bosses? Do they deserve it?"
"Exactly. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You dare to hit someone, but you don't allow others to talk about it. What, are you God? Why are you so nosy?"
The two young girls were not to be trifled with; they retorted sharply.
"you……"
Zhou Ling was speechless, or rather, she didn't expect that these two seemingly weak girls could be more imposing than her when they got serious, and their words were just as sharp.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on someone who has no manners."
Seeing the others looking over, Zhou Ling, not wanting to lose face, snorted and stopped arguing. She was looking for Zhou Chen, not these strangers.
Ignoring the customers in line, Zhou Ling went straight to the stall, pointed at Zhou Chen, and loudly questioned, "What right do you have to spread rumors about my stall and make me unable to do business? Zhou Chen, how can you treat your own sister like this? You are so heartless."
When Zhou Chen saw Zhou Ling walking over, he knew that Zhou Ling was up to no good.
As expected,
They actually blamed his poor business performance on him, believing he was sabotaging things behind the scenes.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
That's a perfect example of shifting the blame.
Your business is bad, and instead of looking for the reasons within yourself, you blame it on him. What, am I the scapegoat?
Even Dou E wasn't as wronged as him.
"You're not saying anything because I hit the nail on the head, huh... It really was you, Zhou Chen. You're such a despicable person. I despise you."
"You're going to prevent me from doing business, huh? Fine, you can forget about doing business either."
After Zhou Ling finished speaking, she stretched out her hands, trying to disperse the customers in line.
But the customers in line weren't about to let her do as she pleased, and they all complained:
"What are you doing? Get out of the way, don't delay our shopping."
"It's ridiculous to blame others when your own product is bad."
"You shameless sister! I don't think you're any good either. Your brother runs a stinky tofu business, and you do it too, stealing your brother's business and acting all high and mighty. It's hilarious!"
"If your character is bad and your products are bad, don't blame others. Your stinky tofu is so cheap, we wouldn't eat it even if you paid us, let alone 2.5 yuan."
The people in line didn't tolerate Zhou Ling's behavior. Without Zhou Chen even having to say anything, they all started mocking her. Zhou Ling alone was no match for a dozen mouths.
She was so angry that she wanted to argue back, but she didn't know who to argue with.
"You...you all..."
After stammering for a long time, Zhou Ling couldn't get a word out. Finally, she stomped her foot in anger and fled in a panic.
"Boss, is this sister of yours your biological daughter?"
"I suspect she was adopted. How heartless! She doesn't care about her brother at all, but instead steals his business. It's really rare to see this."
After Zhou Ling left, the customers who couldn't stand it all spoke up for Zhou Chen.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen forced a smile without explaining, but he had to admit that the public's eyes were sharp and they had all seen through Zhou Ling's true nature.
Despite Zhou Ling's outburst, the number of customers at her stall not only didn't decrease, but actually increased.
They felt indignant on Zhou Chen's behalf and sided with him.
As for Zhou Ling
She's completely turned into a clown. People think she's of terrible character for publicly slandering her own brother like that. Someone like that can't possibly be a good person.
The stuff they sell is bound to be even worse.
