So, Niu Li joined the queue to buy buns.
After buying the buns, he secretly pinched off half of an earthworm and stuffed it into the bun that he had taken a bite of.
Then, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Cai Liu, what kind of buns are you selling? I actually found earthworms in them!"
Hearing the voice, Liu Shulin looked over and saw that it was Niu Li, the mother of Lu Qingyan's mistress.
Holding a bun, she was shouting, "Look everyone, there are earthworms in the buns she sells! There are earthworms!"
"Can you eat buns like this?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman holding a bun in her hand. She had eaten half of it, and half of a still-wriggling earthworm was exposed inside.
This picture looks extremely disgusting...
"See? This is the bun she sells!"
Niu Li showed the buns to everyone with a proud look on her face.
"Haha!" Liu Shulin sneered.
Niu Li glared at her and said, "Cai Liu, you're selling buns like this, and you still have the nerve to smile?"
Liu Shulin remained calm and composed. "Niu Li, you're really good at framing someone. Have you ever seen earthworms inside steamed buns move?"
Niu Li obviously didn't react and continued to accuse him, "Who knows! Anyway, the buns I just bought from you tasted like this!"
After saying that, she threw away the bun and stomped on it a few times, "Disgusting, really disgusting!"
Niu Li's sudden action was probably related to the fact that Lu Qingyan failed to get the money when she came to her house yesterday.
Liu Shulin looked directly at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please tell me the truth. Were these earthworms originally in the buns, or did someone deliberately put them in with ulterior motives to ruin the reputation of my shop?!"
The onlookers on the side looked at each other.
"Ms. Cai Liu, you've been selling buns in town for over ten years, and we've been eating them for over ten years too. Of course we trust you!"
"That's right! We've been eating your buns for so many years without any problems! What happened today must have been a deliberate frame-up!"
"Besides, even if there really are earthworms hidden in the buns, they shouldn't be alive, right?"
"I actually found a live earthworm in my bun. Ha, do you think we're fools?"
"This method is too crude, too despicable, and too shameless! Bah!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shulin smiled and bowed to everyone, "Thank you all for your trust in me and Yuanshan Baozi Shop!"
Then, he glanced at Niu Li and said, "Niu Li, do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing this situation, Niu Li also knew that he had messed up.
I never thought that these people would be so hard to fool...
She realized that the situation was not good, so she naturally didn't dare to stay here. She turned around and ran away.
Liu Shulin did not chase after him because she felt there was no need.
Just run away, everyone has seen the truth anyway!
But what she didn't expect was that not long after, Zheng Xianren actually captured Niu Li!
"Apologize!" Zheng Xianren grabbed Niu Li with one hand, threw her in front of Liu Shulin, and scolded.
Seeing this, Liu Shulin frowned.
This person is really nosy!
Nothing was wrong originally...
In order to show off in front of Liu Shulin, Zheng Xianren was very strong towards Niu Li and said that if Niu Li did not apologize, he would send her to see the officials.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Niu Li was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't speak clearly.
"Did you put the earthworms in the buns just now?" Zheng Xianren asked sternly.
"Yes, it was me who put it there... I was wrong..." Niu Li lowered her head.
"Why do you do this?" Zheng Xianren asked.
Niu Li was silent for a moment, and naturally would not explain the real reason. "I was just jealous of her good business, so I acted impulsively and made a foolish mistake."
Zheng Xianren snorted, turned to look at Liu Shulin, and his voice suddenly softened, "Cai Liu, how do we deal with her?"
Liu Shulin's face was speechless. She said, "Since she has already apologized, let it go."
Zheng Xianren gave Liu Shulin a warm smile, then turned to Niu Li and said fiercely, "Cai Liu is magnanimous and willing to let you go. You'd better take care of yourself and don't get involved in such trouble again!"
"Otherwise, next time, I will definitely send you to the county government office. Get out!"
Niu Li didn't dare to stay and immediately crawled away.
But Liu Shulin, who had many experiences in her previous life, knew that even if Niu Li was arrested and taken to the government, it would only be used to scare people. The government would not care about such trivial matters at all.
Looking at the smile on Zheng Xianren's face, Liu Shulin didn't know what to say.
This bastard, the more I try to stay away from him, the more he'll find ways to get closer...
She took a deep breath, took two buns and handed them to Zheng Xianren, "This is for you, as a thank you."
Accept the thank-you buns, but don't blame her for this matter again in the future.
Zheng Xianren quickly waved his hands, "It's not easy for you to do business, how can I take your buns for free?"
As he said that, he immediately took out money and wanted to give it to Liu Shulin.
Liu Shulin didn't answer, "Boss Zheng, this is boring."
Zheng Xianren hesitated for a moment, put the money away, took the bun, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command!"
Then, he took the bun and ate it with great enjoyment. Liu Shulin was disgusted by his pretentious appearance...
She turned around and concentrated on selling her buns. Fortunately, this little episode was over soon and everyone lined up peacefully again.
After all the buns made today were sold, Liu Shulin finally had time to stop and drink some water.
At this time, several young men who looked like gangsters suddenly came to the door.
The leading gangster asked as soon as they met: "Are you Cai Junze's mother?"
Liu Shulin turned to look at the people who appeared, feeling puzzled, and replied: "I am, what's wrong?"
"Cai Junze injured our people and was captured by us. If you want him to be safe, hurry up and bring the money to redeem him!" said the leading young gangster with his chin raised.
His expression was rude and arrogant, giving people an oppressive aura, and he didn't look like someone who was easy to provoke.
"What? My son...injured your people?" Liu Shulin was surprised and confused.
How could her useless son, who is so lazy and doesn't know anything about farming, actually beat up these tough people?
It's really a ghost!
"That's right, be smart and pay the ransom!"
"Otherwise, we will repay him double in the same way as he hurt our people!" said the leading young man coldly.
Liu Shulin looked at the other party, thinking about some possibilities in her mind, and then asked tentatively: "How much money do you want?"
"One hundred taels!" The young man slowly raised a finger and said proudly.
"One hundred taels? That's extortion!"
Zheng Xianren, who was sitting nearby and hadn't left yet, couldn't help but speak to Liu Shulin.
The young man glared at him fiercely, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
