Shen Ruomei spoke very readily, but did she mean to go and find someone else?
Besides, what if Xia Juntao really isn't home?
This matter dragged on for many days.
Xia Juntao didn't go out at all. He stayed at home for one day during the winter vacation and felt quite uncomfortable.
If he wanted to do some business again, he didn't know where else to buy goods besides Chang Xiaohu's wholesale point.
It used to be so much better when we had holidays, so lively and fun, selling goods with Shen Ruomei.
Xia Juntao deeply regretted bringing this matter to light.
After staying at home for a while, he couldn't resist taking a stroll to the place where they usually sold their goods.
He saw Shen Ruomei in the distance. They were all busy, and he envied them.
He wanted to muster up the courage to tell Shen Ruomei that if they couldn't be together, and she felt they weren't a good match, they could still be classmates.
But he knew it was impossible; once the words were spoken, they couldn't be taken back.
He felt chilled to the bone just standing there. Let's go, let's go.
Just then, an elderly woman buying apples, who had already paid, took advantage of the others' inattention and grabbed another apple from the stall, stuffing it into her pocket.
Shen Ruomei and the others were so busy selling things that they didn't notice anything amiss.
It's so cold outside, my hands are freezing. The old lady couldn't make much money selling those apples, yet she stole one.
Xia Juntao grabbed the old woman without hesitation. "How many pounds of apples did she just buy?"
"Brother Xia, you're back!" Wei Ping said with delight.
"Two jin and two liang of apples," Shen Ruomei weighed them for her.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you being a pervert?"
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll call for help!" The old woman knew she had been seen, and she tried to act out.
"How old am I? How old are you? Am I going to act like a hooligan with you?"
I'm a respectable college student, why would I act like a hooligan with you?
"Fine, let's go to the police station and settle this there. Let's see if I'm the one who acted like a hooligan or if you stole something!" Xia Juntao didn't let go.
There are also quite a few people selling things.
Xia Juntao is a spirited young man, and a college student at that. Would he really act like a pervert with an old lady?
Someone who was watching the commotion shouted, "Let's go to the police station!"
Go there and let them judge; then we'll know who's right and who's wrong!
Shen Ruomei immediately understood what was going on. "You bought 2.2 jin of apples, a total of 5 apples of various sizes."
Are you going to open it up and let everyone see how many apples there are? Or should I weigh them again?
"I've been buying for ages, how can you remember? You're all ganging up on me!" The old woman said, about to sit down on the ground and wail.
"Could some kind-hearted comrade go to the police station and call someone?"
"She's always blaming others, I don't dare take her to the police station!" Xia Juntao said.
There are plenty of kind-hearted people out there.
"Look at this old lady, I'm going to find someone!"
The old lady immediately tried to run away, but Shen Ruomei, Ji Chunyang, and Wei An surrounded her.
Wei An was the youngest, so the old lady tried to push him away.
Wei An nimbly dodged it.
Wei An stopped fighting after arriving in the capital; she was invincible in the army.
This old lady thinks she's easy to bully!
"Old lady, you stole and then hit people! Everyone, be my witnesses!"
"That changes the nature of the crime; this is clearly robbery!" Wei An and Wei Ping then circled around and blocked her again.
Perhaps this is the unspoken understanding between twins.
"What's wrong with you heartless capitalists? I've already paid for everything, and you still won't let me leave?"
"Are you trying to rob us? You worthless brats, raised by a mother but uneducated by one, a bunch of shameless little devils! Let's see which little slut dares to stop us!" The old woman was truly frightened and dared not lay a hand on him. But the more she spoke, the more offensive it became.
"Who says we are heartless capitalists? We are a few orphans, and we want to earn some money to pay for our tuition during the winter break!"
It's not easy to earn a few cents in this cold weather, and you still steal from us.
This is absolutely outrageous!
You use foul language all the time. Are your daughter and granddaughter exactly like that?
"All the women in your family are like that, and I don't even know what kind of person you are!" Wei An waved his hand, "Apart from Shen Ruomei, are the three of them all orphans?"
"How many of you are not buying my stuff for the first time?"
We never shortchange customers, and our products are genuine.
"We are honest and trustworthy, and we do the right thing!" Wei An's little mouth chattered on.
Shen Ruomei and Xia Juntao. Wei An, whom I've met before, was very lively, but I never thought she was this capable.
"Everyone, come and judge for yourselves, who is right and who is wrong?"
Look how old she is! He's taking advantage of our young age, so we're too embarrassed to swear!
"Look at what she's saying all the time!" Ji Chunyang added.
Some customers thought about it and realized that it was true; these kids only came here to sell things during winter and summer vacations.
The older girl was visiting for the first time.
Shen Ruomei was usually with Xia Juntao, and since he wasn't coming, she couldn't be left alone. So she went with Chunyang and the others.
There are always more kind people than not.
"These kids have had a really tough time."
"It's already good enough that someone who has no parents doesn't go astray; at least they know how to earn money to go to school."
"That old lady is so wicked! The child is so young, and look at the insults she's spewing!"
The police officers from the local station arrived shortly afterward.
This matter was easily investigated and clarified.
The old lady was taken away.
