This time, Shen Qiqi showed no mercy and directly broke one of the girl's arms.
The girl's face turned pale with pain and she staggered and fell to the ground.
At this moment, something fell out of the girl's arms. Shen Qiqi glanced at it subconsciously, and when she saw what it was, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
What fell out of the girl's arms was a jade pendant, which was obviously worth a lot of money. If she sold it, it would be enough for the girl to eat and drink for the rest of her life. There would be no need for her to work so hard to farm and deliver vegetables.
But the girl did not sell the jade pendant, but hid it in her arms as a treasure.
I think this jade pendant must belong to an important person.
Shen Qiqi thought for a moment and took the jade pendant.
The girl saw this and immediately became anxious. She screamed at her in a shrill voice, "What are you doing! Don't steal my jade pendant!"
After saying that, he rushed forward to grab it, regardless of the pain of his broken arm.
The girl's reaction made Shen Qiqi realize even more how important this jade pendant was to her.
"Your jade pendant?" She dodged the girl's attempt to grab it, raised an eyebrow, and looked her up and down. Then she shook her head and sneered, "This jade pendant is worth at least several hundred taels. You're just a poor country girl, and you tell me it's yours? Do you think I'll believe you?"
Her words were immediately echoed by everyone.
Among them, the old owner of the restaurant was the one who echoed the most.
Naturally, he had to agree with the second girl's words!
What's more, he had just been beaten and scolded by the girl, and all the face he had accumulated in his life was lost today. At this moment, he didn't know how angry he was with the girl.
The old shopkeeper pointed at the basket on the ground and said loudly, "If you say this basket is yours, I will definitely believe it. After all, you carry this basket to our restaurant every now and then to deliver vegetables."
One sentence confirmed the girl's identity: a peasant girl delivering food to the restaurant.
The old shopkeeper glanced at the jade pendant in Shen Qiqi's hand again, then glanced at the girl.
"And this jade pendant that fell from you is extremely valuable. Even if I sold you, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be enough to buy even a dime of the jade pendant."
The old shopkeeper snorted and sneered, "To put it bluntly, a beggar wearing a gold chain around his neck, don't you think it sounds ridiculous?"
A few words made the girl blush.
Especially the last sentence of the old shopkeeper, he almost pointed at the girl's nose and scolded her, "A poor person like you deserves to have such a good thing?"
The girl was clearly not good at bickering. Just as she was gnashing her teeth in anger, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "That jade pendant is so expensive, could it be that this girl stole it?"
When everyone thought about it, they suddenly felt that what this person said made sense. Before, everyone just looked at the girl with dislike, but now when they heard about the girl, the way everyone looked at the girl changed from dislike to disgust.
"At such a young age, he has not learned his lesson and has actually started stealing things."
"Yes, the little girl has hands and feet, why does she have to be a thief?"
"Old shopkeeper, you must not let this female thief into the restaurant again. Otherwise, if we lose anything in the restaurant in the future, it will be blamed on you, the shopkeeper."
"Yes, yes, yes, after all, you were the one who let this female thief in!"
The old shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to the diners and promised, "Rest assured, everyone, from now on, I promise that this female thief will never set foot in this restaurant again!"
Seeing that everyone mistook her for a thief, the girl became furious and anxious, shouting in a shrill voice, "You're talking nonsense! I'm not a thief! That jade pendant was left to me by my father! And that soft sword, it was also given to me by my father!"
She raised her hand and pointed at Shen Qiqi angrily: "She is the thief... No, that's not right! She is a robber! She stole the soft sword and jade pendant that my father left me! These two things are the relics left to me by my father!"
The girl finally realized the situation and knew that she was no match for Shen Qiqi by force, so she immediately changed her strategy, wiping away her tears and trying to gain sympathy.
Since it is a relic, it cannot be sold easily.
As expected, the voices that originally called the girl a thief disappeared.
