The old man was even more confused when he heard the laughter of the onlookers. He turned around and looked at everyone's faces, who all looked like they were enjoying the show. He wiped the sweat off his face.
"Little girl, I'm asking you a question seriously, so stop joking." The old man said a little helplessly.
After hearing what the old man said, Yun Yiyi felt even more helpless. "Look, I'm telling you the truth, but you don't believe it."
"Grandpa, I'm not lying. I really snatched the purse back from the thief. I also caught the thief on the ground."
Yun Yiyi looked at the old man's expression, which made him look as if he was joking, and felt even more helpless.
"Grandpa, it was my sister who caught the thief, and she was the one who got the purse back for you. If you don't believe me, just ask the people watching."
"They were all here just now. They must have seen it when my sister caught the thief." Xie Zirui said in a gentle voice.
The old man still had a look of doubt on his face. However, he turned around and glanced at the onlookers.
"Please tell me, is this the thief that was caught by this little girl?" the old man asked loudly.
"Yes, it was this little girl who caught the thief. I saw it all just now."
"Yes, the purse was also snatched back by the little girl from the thief."
"We all saw it, it was this little girl."
Listening to everyone's discussions, the old man finally came to his senses. He now understood that it was indeed the little girl who helped him catch the thief and get his money back.
There were so many people watching, it was impossible for everyone to help the little girl lie. Therefore, what the little girl said was true.
"I'm sorry, little girl. I didn't expect that you would help me. I was blind." The old man said with a guilty look on his face.
"It's okay, grandpa. It's normal that you don't believe me. After all, I'm too young. If the people around me hadn't actually seen it, I guess they wouldn't believe it like you." Yun Yiyi said indifferently.
"Yes, the little girl is right. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that the little girl could kick the thief away with just one kick."
"Yes, the little girl is very strong. This is the first time I've seen someone with such great strength."
"But it's true that the little girl did good things."
After listening to everyone's discussions, the old man finally understood what was going on.
"Thank you so much for your help today, little girl. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get my purse back."
"Grandpa, you are too polite. I just happened to encounter this kind of thing and helped out. It's not worth your politeness." Yun Yiyi waved her hand humbly.
"Grandpa, the thief has been caught. What do you think we should do with him? If you don't need us anymore, we'll leave." Xie Zirui asked politely.
"For you, it's just a handy help, but for me, it's a big deal. Little girls, do you have anything to do later? I want to thank you very much."
"Grandpa, we still have to find a cloth store to buy things, so we are in a hurry. There is no need to thank you. Anyone who meets us will lend a hand." Yun Yiyi said seriously.
The onlookers were surprised to see Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui talking like adults. They didn't know whose children were so sensible and outstanding.
"Little girls, do you want to buy cloth? That's a coincidence, my family runs a cloth shop. Wait a moment, I'll take you to my shop, what do you think?" The old man looked at Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui with anticipation.
"Brother Zirui, what do you think?" Yun Yiyi asked in a low voice.
"Okay, let's wait here for a while, Uncle Yun will be catching up soon."
"Okay, grandpa. You can deal with the thief first. My sister and I have to wait for our family. He will be here soon." After Xie Zirui said this, he pulled Yun Yiyi back two steps.
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll take care of it soon." The old man said loudly.
"You go ahead and do your work, grandpa." Yun Yiyi said.
"Who is willing to help me take the thief to the yamen?" the old man shouted.
The onlookers will be very quiet at this time.
"How about this, I won't let you all work in vain. I'll pay you one or two taels of silver as a fee for running errands."
"Help me bring the thief to the government office and report the case, saying that the owner of Zhang's cloth shop was robbed. By the way, we are still short of a witness, and I will also pay one or two taels of silver." The old man said loudly.
"You are not lying, are you? I just sent the thief to the government office and reported the case, and you only gave me one or two taels of silver?" A big man said doubtfully.
"That's right, the money can be given now." The old man said readily.
"Does the witness also have to pay the money now?" asked an old woman.
"Yes, give it to me now."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the crowd was in an uproar.
"I can send the thief to the government office."
"I can go too."
"I can be a witness."
"I can also be a witness."
Everyone gathered around the old man and started shouting.
"You, and you, just the two of you. Here, this is one or two taels of silver." The old man pointed out two people at once and gave them the silver on the spot.
As soon as the onlookers saw that the person had been chosen, they all stepped back.
"You should all know me, right?" the old man asked the two young men who pointed to him.
"Shopkeeper, what you said is true. Everyone living in the city knows you."
"Don't worry, boss. You may not know me, but I know you."
The two men looked at each other and spoke loudly to the old man.
"That's good. I won't say any more. If you need to buy cloth in the future, come to the store and find me. I will definitely give you a discount." The old man said politely.
"Okay, thank you, boss."
"Boss, let's take him to the yamen first." The two young men carried the man on the ground and walked towards the yamen.
"Brother Zirui, it seems that this old man is quite famous in the city."
"I guess most of the onlookers know him. However, only the unlucky thief doesn't know the old man." Xie Zirui said gloatingly.
"If the thief knew him, he probably wouldn't dare to steal the old man's purse." Yun Yiyi said in a low voice.
"Thank you all for today. If you need to buy cloth, go to the store and I will definitely give you a discount." The old man said to the crowd.
"Boss, we didn't do anything. You're too polite."
"Yes, everyone in this city knows that you are a kind person."
"Yes, the shopkeeper has helped everyone a lot."
"Yiyi, Zirui, I finally found you two. Are you hurt?" Yun the Butcher's anxious voice came over.
"Dad, Zirui and I are fine and not injured." Yun Yiyi replied hurriedly.
Butcher Yun jumped off the mule cart, ran a few steps, and came to the two children.
He first checked the two children and found that both were fine and not injured.
"Dad, how did you find me?"
