Su Qingluan was pulled so hard that she almost fell down.
She quickly steadied herself and asked as she walked, "Brother Skinny Monkey, please tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Although the little girl's face was still childish, her serious but calm expression and steady tone made Shouhouer no longer panic as he was just now.
He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm such a grown-up, but I'm not as calm as a child like you."
After sorting out the whole story, Skinny Monkey took a breath, glanced around, and leaned close to Su Qingluan and whispered, "Someone said they found bugs in the food at your stall and had vomiting and diarrhea. They said your family is unscrupulous!"
"Bugs? What bugs?" Su Qingluan frowned.
"I'm not sure." The skinny monkey shook his head. "I didn't see it clearly. I only saw a plump white half inside the remaining half of the 'Scroll of Wealth'. At first glance, the bug looked quite large!"
Su Qingluan fell into deep thought after hearing this.
It is summer now, the time when mosquitoes are prevalent.
Moreover, the distribution of green vegetation in this era is much greater than that in the modern times when she lived in her previous life, making it easier to attract these.
But their ingredients are carefully placed in the mesh net, for fear that insects and flies will land on them.
What's more, since half of the white worm can be clearly seen from the side, it means that the worm is of some size.
Is it possible that she and her mother didn't see clearly when they were preparing the food?
Although it was a bit unkind to doubt the customer like this, Su Qingluan's first reaction was that maybe the man was trying to scam her?
"How are my parents now? Are the guests... agitated?"
In fact, this kind of thing of "finding dirt in food" can easily "cause public outrage" if you are not careful.
Su Qingluan's heart tightened - there were only two of them, her parents. What if the other party really had bad intentions and just instigated a few words? Would her parents be surrounded and beaten by everyone?
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan always felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Seeing this, Shou Hou'er hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Su. The merchants who do business on the same street as us all know that your parents are honest businessmen! Even if there is a bug, it is probably just an accident..."
"That's not the case," Su Qingluan quickly shook her head. "If it was a tiny, dark-colored mosquito, it might be possible. But from what Brother Skinny Monkey said, that white bug is quite large, and its color is eye-catching. We're still unsure what's going on."
"You mean..." Skinny Monkey clapped his hands, "The guy with the stomachache is just acting for money?"
Su Qingluan only sighed: "It's still unclear what their intentions are, but they're not good people anyway."
As she spoke, she looked up and saw that it was almost noon.
The sun was shining brightly, but what was even more scorching than the midday summer sun was Su Qingluan's heart.
Su Qingluan quickened her pace while praying in her heart that nothing would happen to her parents.
At this moment, she really wished she could turn into Nezha, step on the wind-fire wheels, and become faster.
Or awaken some superpowers, such as teleportation or mind transfer, and be able to return to your parents immediately.
Su Qingluan hurried all the way, and when she returned to the Su family's stall, it was already packed with people watching the fun.
Su Qingluan relied on her slim figure and petite stature, bent her waist and twisted her body to squeeze into the crowd.
The skinny monkey, who was originally chasing after Su Qingluan, caught up with her breathlessly, only to find that the little girl had disappeared.
"Huh... Huh... Huh... Oh my God! I'm so tired!" The skinny monkey was so tired that he kept wiping the sweat with his sleeves. "This little girl is running too fast!"
But Su Qingluan didn't care about the skinny guy left behind, and squeezed through the crowd. The feeling of being squeezed all over her body suddenly relaxed.
She came to the center of the crowd and her vision suddenly widened.
There were four people in the center of the venue, two of them were the parents who were obviously at a loss, and the other two, one was thin and lying on a tattered reed mat on the ground, groaning, and it seemed that he was about to die.
There was a wheelbarrow next to him, which was obviously being pushed here.
The other man, a burly man with a roar like thunder, glared with a pair of slightly bulging eyes, one hand on his waist, the other pointing at Su Guangfu and Yang, spitting and swearing profusely.
Su Guangfu was not a good talker, so he just listened silently.
Although Yang was usually quite talkative, she probably felt guilty that someone else had gotten sick from eating her food. She looked apologetic and wanted to say something, but she couldn't get a word in.
Su Qingluan was furious when she heard this: If it was really her family's problem, the Su family would naturally apologize and send the patient to the hospital. However, what did the other party mean by swearing in the street?
Do you think her parents are easy to bully? !
Her parents are honest people, and she is not the type to let others manipulate her!
In an instant, Su Qingluan rushed between her parents and the other two people, protecting her parents behind her.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from the side, startling the four people present. The endless cursing stopped for a moment because of Su Qingluan's appearance.
When Su Guangfu and his wife saw that it was their eldest daughter, their hearts tightened.
Yang hurriedly whispered, "Daya, don't be impulsive, come back quickly!"
The other party is strong and muscular, and is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
On the other hand, my daughter has a slender body. What if that rough guy gets angry and hurts her?!
Su Qingluan turned her head slightly and raised the corner of her lips: "Don't worry, mother, your daughter won't do anything reckless."
He turned to look at the big man opposite and asked, "I've heard you cursing for quite some time. What deep hatred do you have that would embarrass my parents in public like this? Have we ever offended you two?"
"Never offended?" the big man sneered. "You caused my brother to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Who knows what kind of shameful things you have in this stall!"
As if to echo what the big man said about "unbearable abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea", the man who was originally lying on his back on the reed mat groaning seemed to feel even more uncomfortable, curling up into a ball and groaning.
"Look everyone! How badly did this shady stall harm my friend?!"
Su Qingluan wasn't a professional doctor, and abdominal pain itself was associated with many other conditions. So, although she had some doubts, she didn't dare to jump to conclusions. She simply asked, "You said it was because of eating my food. Do you have any evidence?"
Upon hearing this, the man took out an oil-paper package from his bosom - it was exactly what was used to "roll up a hundred fortunes".
In order to distinguish her food from the oil paper used by other families to wrap their food, and also to serve as an advertisement, Su Qingluan asked her father to make a palm-sized seal with the word "Su" and the location of the Su family's stall printed on it, and printed the seal on a corner of the oil paper.
However, this wooden seal is not complicated and can be easily imitated.
But when the sturdy man opened the oil-paper package, Su Qingluan's heart tightened - there was indeed half of her own "Juan Baicai" left inside.
