However, bystanders who witnessed this scene criticized the seller.
A man with a large face and small features stepped forward and said, "Wang Gui, how dare you say 'ten catties of grain'? You're just bullying a girl. A broken stone isn't worth that much."
"Exactly, how could he even say it out loud when it's such a small piece?"
"Ten catties of grain, that's 50 points, he's dreaming."
Yuewu: She, the person involved, isn't angry, so why are these people so agitated?
"I'll go get you some food now. Will you wait here, or come with me?" Yuewu felt it was better to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"What? You're really going to give them food?"
"Girl, don't be fooled."
"Wang Gui is a robber. He broke his leg because of a previous crime and was imprisoned for seven years before being released. You should be careful, young lady."
Yuewu: Do I think I'm a simpleton?
Everyone: What an idiot!
“I’ll go with you!” Wang Gui had already stood up.
Yue Wu glanced at him and saw that, sure enough, the muscles in his left leg had atrophied, and it was twisted and raised, unable to touch the ground.
Without listening to their nonsense any longer, Yuewu quickly left the scene.
Although Wang Gui's legs were not convenient, he could walk as fast as Yue Wu, even with the help of crutches.
Finally arriving in front of the music and dance house, Wang Gui stopped about 5 meters away.
Then Yuewu took out ten catties of rice and two catties of flour from her space and handed them to Wang Gui, saying, "If you find this stone again in the future, give it to me. The flour you make will be considered a deposit."
Wang Gui's eyes suddenly turned red. He was afraid that after hearing those words, Yue Wu would not want to give him or would give him less, but the result was exactly the opposite.
Wang Gui knelt down excitedly, thanking Yue Wu for the food and even more for her trust.
He wasn't a robber; someone had clearly stolen his money years ago, and his child was still in the hospital waiting for that money to save his life. But no one on the bus believed him.
The thief took the money but stuffed the bag containing it into a woman's purse. The woman was furious and held up the bag, demanding to know who had littered.
Wang Gui, who was standing in front, recognized the bag as his at a glance.
He immediately rushed forward to snatch it back, but there was nothing left inside. He yelled at the woman for his money, but during the struggle, the woman pointed at him and accused him of indecent assault. He was then brutally beaten and broke one of his legs.
When he got off the bus, he saw a man wearing a hat deliberately take out a wad of cash and show it to him; that was his 20,000 yuan.
So he struggled to chase after him, and with a strength he didn't know he came from, he tackled the other man and started beating him mercilessly until he bled profusely.
He was later convicted of intentional homicide, but due to the circumstances and his family situation, he ultimately served seven years in prison.
My child is gone, my wife has run away, and now I only have my elderly mother to depend on.
After listening to the music and dance, Yue Wu sighed deeply; yet another person suffering.
After seeing Wang Gui off, Xiao Yi said, "Mom, let's teach the first man who criticized Wang Gui a lesson. I really don't like his personality."
Yue Wu asked curiously, "Energy? What does that mean?"
Xiao Yi explained, "Some people's energy is chaotic, while others' energy is peaceful, but it's all one. It's just a matter of whether you have enough self-control. But that man's energy felt disconnected from himself. I don't know why, but it just felt uncomfortable."
Having no ideas for music and dance, I simply gave up on thinking about it.
With a bag of potatoes in her hand, she returned to the vendor street, hoping to run into the man again.
However, by sheer coincidence, they ran into each other not long after they started walking.
The big-faced man asked jokingly, "Oh, you're back so soon. Did you have a change of heart halfway through and just chased Wang Gui away? Good thing you weren't completely naive, girl."
Music and Dance: You're the one who's stupid!
This time, Yuewu also sensed the Big-Faced Man's energy immediately, but gained nothing. Moreover, the Big-Faced Man has superpowers, but they are very weak.
Yue Wu casually found a spot and laid out her potatoes. The big-faced man's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly asked Yue Wu, "How do I exchange the potatoes?"
After wandering around for so long, Yuewu noticed that people rarely put out grains to sell, let alone vegetables, so potatoes were definitely a scarce commodity.
Soon, more and more people gathered around, all asking how the exchange was done.
Because he hadn't heard Yuewu's reply, the big-faced man felt slighted. With so many people competing, he wondered how this woman would raise the price. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"I asked you first, so I have priority," the big-faced man said loudly to the others.
But since vegetables are a rare treat, who would give them up so easily?
"You didn't pay, and the food wasn't yours, so why should you have priority?"
"Exactly, it's none of your business who she can sell herself to."
The big-faced man's face and neck turned red instantly; he was furious.
Le Wu smiled and said, "My potatoes are not easy to preserve. Let's see what everyone can offer in exchange. As long as it's something I want, I'm willing."
What does the girl need?
"I can't really explain it. It's like the stone I just changed; I really like it," Yue Wu said casually.
Some unsuspecting people immediately asked others, "What kind of stone?"
An elderly woman who was at the scene said loudly, "Ten pounds of grain were exchanged for a stone the size of a coin. And it was Wang Gui who got it."
Everyone gasped, "Ten catties of grain?"
"What kind of stone did you trade with Wang Gui for?"
The big-faced man scoffed, "What kind of stone could it be? Even if it turned out to be jade, it's worthless now. Wang Gui is really something else, not only stealing but also cheating."
Le Wu stared at the big-faced man. "You seem to hate him a lot, talking badly about him everywhere, but he has never said anything bad about you. Did he dig up your ancestral graves?"
Hearing this, the big-faced man was speechless, not expecting that Yue Wu would speak up for Wang Gui.
After all, he had been trying to ruin Wang Gui's reputation all this time, but now someone was refuting him to his face.
Seeing his constantly changing expression, Yuewu said calmly, "Let me guess, he definitely doesn't have a direct relationship with you. Someone else must have connected you. Who could it be?"
At this moment, the big-faced man was starting to panic. He didn't know why Yue Wu would say that. Could it be that she heard it from Wang Gui? But Wang Gui shouldn't have seen it, right?
The music and dance continued, “Wang Gui once fought with a thief because his child’s life-saving money was stolen. During the fight, he accidentally killed the thief. The court sentenced him to seven years in prison according to the law. He served his sentence well, but after he got out, his child was gone and his wife ran away.”
"So I guess the reason you keep smearing Wang Gui is because you know his wife, or are even closer to her—are you married now? Otherwise, I really can't understand why you would make things difficult for such a suffering and honest man?"
