Chapter 15 The oranges are so sweet, I want to buy some!
When the people around saw this, they couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Especially the four security guards who are still lying on the ground.
Fear?
Who should be afraid of?
But when they saw Manager Chen, who they thought was a reinforcement, nodding and bowing to the woman in front of them, they were completely dumbfounded.
Later, he was so angry at the woman's pretending to be scared that he almost vomited blood.
Is this woman afraid?
Frightened and threw four grown men to the ground?
Oh my god! Who should I be afraid of?
The security captain was about to open his mouth to refute when he was stopped by Manager Chen's furious voice: "Zhao Gang, what the hell is wrong with you? You are so rude to our VIP customers. Do you still want to work here?"
After a cold scolding, Manager Chen gave a direct order: "Why don't you apologize to Miss Xu! If Miss Xu doesn't forgive you, get out of here!"
Zhao Gang felt very aggrieved. He wanted to resist, to throw his security uniform at Fatty Chen and then shout, "I quit the fucking job!"
But all this was his imagination.
He had gotten this job with great difficulty through the help of someone. The monthly salary was not low, and he could also get some oil hair from those merchants every month.
If he leaves, with his education level, where can he find such a good job again?
There is no way but to bow to reality.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu! We were blind and offended you. Please forgive us." Zhao Gang stood up and bowed to Xu Sichen.
Seeing that the captain had bowed his head, the three security guards below naturally bowed their heads and begged for forgiveness.
Xu Sichen looked at the man's clenched fists and knew that Zhao Gang didn't think he was wrong at all.
He said "I'm sorry" with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to torture her.
Xu Sichen knew without thinking that they would definitely not let go of the loss he suffered today.
As for this kind of trouble, she, who came from the end of the world, knew that the best way was to eliminate it completely.
But now we still live in a peaceful society ruled by law, and anyone who kills someone will be arrested by the police.
She didn't have time to waste dealing with this kind of scum right now.
When the end of the world comes, she will have plenty of time to deal with them.
Xu Sichen didn't even glance at them. Instead, he said to Manager Chen, "Manager Chen, if it's convenient for you, please help me buy 500 kilograms of each kind of fruit in the market and send it to the East Gate parking lot. I'll drive it away tonight."
Manager Chen was immediately delighted when he heard this and quickly responded, "That's convenient, very convenient! Miss Xu, please leave your contact information and I'll call you when the goods arrive."
After seeing off Manager Chen, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Only the old farmer was left, staggering and hunching over to pick up the baskets that had fallen to the ground one by one.
Then she put the crushed oranges back into the basket little by little, wiping away tears as she picked them up.
Looking at the oranges on the ground that were trampled beyond recognition but still filled with fragrance, Xu Sichen couldn't help swallowing.
"Uncle, do you still have these oranges? I want to buy some."
The old farmer was slightly stunned when he heard the voice, then he forced a wry smile and said, "Miss, thank you for helping me today. I'll give you these oranges to eat, no money required."
Xu Sichen took the orange handed to him by the old man, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.
Mmm~, it’s really sweet!
As soon as you taste it, you can tell that it is naturally ripened, not the kind that is artificially ripened after being picked on the market.
"Uncle, these oranges are really delicious. Did you grow them yourself?"
"These oranges are indeed grown by us. We have been growing them for several years. This year is the first batch of fruits. We don't pick them until they are ripe." When the old man heard Xu Sichen say that the oranges were delicious, he couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, there is bitterness.
"I thought this year would be a good year with a bumper orange crop, but the person who came to collect the oranges said they were too ripe and difficult to transport, and they were only willing to pay 80 cents. Even if we sold all the oranges at that price, we wouldn't even have enough to buy the saplings."
They had borrowed money to buy the saplings that year. They thought they could sell the oranges this year to pay off their debt first, and then take the old woman to the hospital with extra money. Unexpectedly, they couldn't even pay off half of the debt.
There was no other way, so he could only ride his tricycle to the farmers' market to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, his car was overturned by the market security personnel before he even entered the market.
Not only did he fail to sell the 100 kilograms of oranges he brought, but more than half of them were trampled to pieces.
Although these oranges are not valuable, they are the lifeblood of their family.
As he spoke, the old farmer couldn't help wiping away his tears.
"Uncle, do all the oranges in your house taste like this? If so, I'll take them all based on the market price!" Xu Sichen was not being kind, but he really liked the taste of that orange.
Upon hearing this, the old farmer raised his head suddenly, and his cloudy eyes revealed a look of joy and disbelief.
But after a while, it went out again.
"Girl, I know you are a good person, but I cannot be ungrateful. You bought so many oranges, and you can't eat them all. Isn't it a waste? If you want to eat them, just take them. They are not worth much." The old farmer put the intact oranges he picked up into a bag and handed it to Xu Sichen.
"Uncle, I bought the oranges not to help you, but because I really needed them. Didn't you see me ask Manager Chen to buy me 500 kilograms of each fruit?" Xu Sichen explained, "My family runs a chain hotel, and we consume a lot of fruit every day. We won't waste any."
"You, are you telling the truth?" The old farmer confirmed again and again that Xu Sichen really needed to buy his words, and his voice trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, thank you so much, girl! Don't worry, every orange in my family is as sweet and delicious as the ones here! If they're not delicious, I won't charge you a penny! Girl, where do you live? I'll go back and pick some oranges and bring them to you."
Xu Sichen glanced at the tricycle next to the old farmer, then at the time on his phone. Thinking that there was still an afternoon left before the agreed pickup time, he suggested, "Uncle, how about this! I have some free time this afternoon. I'll drive over to buy it myself and then give you a ride back. How about that?"
Old farmers can ride their agricultural vehicles to the wholesale market, which is never far away.
After knowing the address of the old farmer's house, Xu Sichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Chinese people's hard work and perseverance are indeed well-deserved.
The old farmer's home is on Donghu Mountain on the outskirts of the city. The navigation shows 53 kilometers, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.
But Xu Sichen didn't know how long it would take to get the rickshaw.
The old farmer smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not very far, actually. I left in the morning and will be there in the afternoon."
