Mrs. Ye's face immediately turned red.
What else could she do? Of course she hoped Qingtian could make an effort and make the old man change his mind.
It’s a pity that after poking it several times, Qingtian was just busy eating the candied haws.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Mrs. Ye said dryly, "I, I just wanted to measure her size so I can buy two pieces of cloth to make her clothes."
Mrs. Ye said quickly, "Don't worry about it. We can come back to buy it later. Let's get down to business first."
Li Fu said, "I have ruined the important matter today. I will find another way.
"Come on, let's go shopping and buy some fabric to make clothes for Qingtian!"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately volunteered, "I may not be able to help with the gold and silver thread, but if you guys want to buy fabric, I'm a real expert!"
After that, he led everyone around and came to a cloth stall. He said, "Sixth Brother, I'm here to introduce you to some business."
Lao Liu was a tall and thin man. Seeing the customers coming, he quickly stood up and greeted them: "Please feel free to look around. Since you are introduced by my brother Qian, I will definitely give you the real price for whatever you want!"
The stall owner Qian said on behalf of Sister Ye, "Sister Ye, you want to make clothes for your child. If you find anything that is fashionable and cost-effective this year, please show it to her."
"Okay!" Lao Liu skillfully pulled out seven or eight rolls of cloth and placed them in front of Mrs. Ye. "Take a look at these! They're all new this year. Do you like any of them?"
When Mrs. Ye took a look, she found that it was almost the same as the one recommended by the first stall owner.
She whispered to Boss Ye, "It seems that man isn't too bad. Although the price is high, at least he didn't use his best treasure to trick us."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a roar from behind her: "How dare you, Lao Liu, steal my business!"
When Mrs. Ye heard the voice, she felt it sounded familiar.
She turned around and was dumbfounded. It turned out that the stall owner Qian took them around and around, and finally stopped opposite the first stall.
Upon hearing this, Lao Liu hurriedly said, "Wang Dachui, what are you talking about? Big Sister's feet are on her own body, so she can buy them from whoever she wants.
"I'm not someone who pulled someone from your stall, so why do you say I'm stealing your business?"
Wang Dachui came over and took a look at the material in front of Sister Ye, and he became more and more angry and accused her, "This sister just told me that she would come back to buy it after she got the money.
"Look, I've returned the material to my elder sister and it's still there!"
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she immediately felt guilty. She had indeed made the excuse that she had no money and came back after getting some.
But once you hear it, you know it's just a euphemism. How can anyone actually believe it?
Seeing that Mrs. Ye was speechless, Wang Dachui became even more excited and pointed at the fabrics that were taken out of the stall and said, "You still say you are not stealing my business, even the fabrics you take out are the same!
"You must have just secretly observed what this lady wanted, and then turned around and snatched my customers with a lower price!
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, why didn't I see you were such a person before!"
What he said was actually a bit nonsense.
There are only so many fashionable fabrics every year, and since Mrs. Ye still has to buy them for her children, there are even fewer suitable ones.
At this big fair, if you go to any stall and ask, you will definitely find that the products are pretty much the same.
But the stall owner Qian and Lao Liu both looked unhappy and didn't even dare to refute.
Wang Dachui is tall and strong, and is considered a bully in the market. Lao Liu has suffered losses from him before, so he is a little afraid to mess with him.
Brother Ye said in a deep voice, "The market isn't yours. We can buy from whoever we want. How dare you ask for such a high price and then complain first?"
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui immediately began to roll up his sleeves and approach. The two young men at his stall also surrounded him.
Boss Ye handed Qingtian to Sister Ye and said, "You two should step back."
Mrs. Ye held onto his arm tightly and said worriedly, "You're not familiar with this place, don't get into a fight!"
"I've been bullied to such an extent, how can I still endure it?" Ye Lao said, "Don't worry, they can't beat me!"
Mrs. Ye said, "How do you know that they have no other helpers?
"Besides, we came here with Butler Li, so don't cause trouble for the Qin family!"
The latter words successfully persuaded Brother Ye to stop. But just as he was about to put down his fist, Li Fu called to the servants, "Come here! Let's see if anyone dares to take action today. Is there still any law?"
The two servants of the Qin family immediately stepped forward and stood side by side with Boss Ye.
The two sides had equal numbers of people, and they were deadlocked for a moment.
When the situation was tense and about to break out, a little boy of three or four years old suddenly ran out from the crowd.
The child ran right between the two groups of people, and then stood there motionless as if frightened.
"Get away from here, you little bastard!" Wang Dachui cursed.
The child was frightened and burst into tears, but still didn't find the right place.
"Fuck!" Wang Dachui was so angry that he kicked the child, "Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?"
"ah--"
"careful--"
Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Ersao screamed in fright.
Wang Dachui was a tall and strong man, and the child was so small. If he kicked him with this kick, he would probably lose half his life if not die.
But Brother Ye took action instantly. He suddenly rushed forward, bent down, hugged the child, and used his back to block Wang Dachui's kick.
"Dad—" Qingtian shouted anxiously, with tears in his voice.
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that her legs went limp, and Mrs. Ye’s second sister-in-law quickly caught her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Tsk, why are you trying to be a hero!" Wang Dachui spat in disdain and raised his foot to hit Brother Ye again.
Fortunately, Brother Ye held the child in his arms, rolled on the ground, and avoided his second kick.
"How dare you kick such a young child? Are you still a human being?" Brother Ye felt pain and anger, his whole face flushed red.
Mrs. Ye handed Qingtian to Mrs. Ye Er and ran over to check his injuries.
Wang Dachui used his pinky finger to pick at his ear, blew away the earwax, and sneered, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!"
Just as he was getting closer and closer, the crowd suddenly split in two, and a group of soldiers ran in and surrounded everyone.
This time, Mrs. Ye was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell down beside Boss Ye, thinking that these officers were here to arrest her husband.
Unexpectedly, the first officer who ran in saw the child in Brother Ye's arms and immediately showed joy. He shouted to the back: "Captain, we have found Hu Zi. Here he is!"
Soon, a strong man wearing the official uniform of a constable and with a long sword on his waist walked over quickly.
The man took the child away from Boss Ye's arms, and heaved a sigh of relief. But he couldn't help but complain, "Huzi, why are you running around? You haven't been spanked in a few days. Is your butt itchy?"
Hu Zi, however, grabbed the man's neck and pointed at Wang Dachui, complaining, "Dad, he kicked me! Catch him!"
