Zhang Tiandi gave Zhang Fuyao a reproachful look and said, "Brother, our family is so poor that we can't even spend 20 yuan on food in a week. Besides, neither my parents have ever eaten a 20 yuan rice ball, and you have to eat it every now and then at school."
Her family is a farming family. The rice and vegetables they eat on a daily basis are all grown at home. Although they also raise chickens, they are only eaten during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Most of the meals she eats at home are pickles and various vegetables. She only has meat when her brother comes home on weekends.
"How's it? Your rice balls are delicious, right? And that juice, it's 20 yuan, you're really willing to spend that."
Zhang Tiandi hated the fact that she was a girl. If she were a boy, she could also enjoy the same treatment as her younger brother at home. Although her younger brother was beaten by their mother today, she saw that the bamboo sticks were hitting the ground and her younger brother was screaming, but it was all fake.
A few days ago, her mother refused to listen to her explanation and insisted that she had stolen the 300 yuan. If she hadn't struggled hard, she would have been tied to a village electric pole and beaten with a stick. She had been treated this way many times. The embarrassing scene of being beaten and laughed at by the whole village was something she would never forget and would have left a lasting shadow on her.
A flash of resentment flashed across her eyes. If you spoil him, then spoil him as much as you can. You'll end up turning him into a prodigal son and a thief!
Zhang Fuyao felt that his second sister was being sarcastic today. He angrily said, "Why are you asking about the taste? You haven't tried it, so you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Zhang Tiandi retorted, "That's right, I haven't eaten it. Unlike you, you're wasting my elder sister and father's hard-earned money!"
Zhang Fuyao blushed, "You, you...what do you know! It's better than not having any money to waste."
The brother and sister parted ways unhappily, neither of them willing to give in.

The weekend passed quickly and Monday came in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Shen Xiuhua, Zhang Tong's parents and her grandmother, a group of four, arrived at the gate of Taoxi Middle School.
Zhang Tong's father is Zhang Jiancheng. He and his wife Wang Chunyu have a son and a daughter, 18-year-old Zhang Cong and 15-year-old Zhang Tong.
"There!" After seeing the location of Xuehe Rice Ball, they rushed towards the location of Xuehe Rice Ball in a menacing manner.
Shen Xiuhua pointed at Jiang Yingxue angrily and said, "Hey! Return my son's money! And compensate us 20,000 yuan!" They had asked Zhang Weilong about this amount, and the stall owner must have it.
Zhang Jiancheng raised his chin and put on a very tough attitude, "Give me back my daughter's money and the 20,000 yuan compensation!"
Jiang Yingxue looked puzzled and said calmly, "Who are your son and daughter? I don't know them."
Shen Xiuhua shouted, "Our child got sick from eating something you bought from us, so you should pay for it! Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"
Zhang Tong only heard the word "default" and, realizing she wouldn't get the 20,000 yuan compensation, she immediately acted out, "Come on, everyone, come and see! This black-hearted seller is bullying us!"
It was lunchtime and some regular customers of Xuehe Rice Balls had already arrived.
Wang Chunyu gave Jiang Yingxue a fierce look and shouted, "You bastard, we all know the evil things you have done."
"You're truly despicable! You're putting drugs in food just to make money, regardless of the children's lives! I'm telling you, we've called the police, and you'll be jailed until you die!"
"If anything happens to my daughter, you'll be dead!"
"Take my daughter to the hospital for a checkup right now. Who knows what the consequences will be if she eats your poisonous food!"
Jiang Yingxue picked up her phone and made a call. "Hello, is this the police station? I'm Miss Jiang, who runs a stall in front of the middle school... Yes, someone is causing trouble in front of the stall... Okay, excuse me."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yingxue glanced at them with a cold gaze and said in a cold voice, "You said I put drugs in my food. Do you have any evidence? If you don't, you are slandering me. I can sue you."
Shen Xiuhua puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips, letting out a shrill laugh. "Hahaha, who are you trying to scare? You're suing us? You want evidence, right? These people who keep buying are the evidence!"
She turned and asked the onlookers behind her, "Let me ask you, after eating this, do you want to eat it every day? Do you still think it's delicious?"
Someone in the crowd said, "Yes." Then more affirmative voices began to rise.
Indeed, the food at Xuehe Rice Balls is so delicious and tempting that they want to eat more and wish they could taste it every day.
Shen Xiuhua continued, "That's it. If she hadn't added drugs that would make you addicted, would you have become addicted like drugs? If you weren't addicted, would her business have been good?"
Zhang Jiancheng also said: "Does anyone feel unwell? If so, go to the hospital immediately. It is 100%..."
Some people were led by Shen Xiuhua and others' words and joined their camp to attack Jiang Yingxue, demanding that Jiang Yingxue return the money they spent at Xuehe Rice Ball and their medical examination fees, and also pay an additional compensation of 20,000 yuan.
A group of people were asking for exorbitant prices.
Only two or three people stood firmly on Jiang Yingxue's side, condemning them for slandering others without evidence.
Jiang Yingxue was worried that Min Junru, Long Ting, and Chen Jinbin, who were defending her, would be hurt, so she pulled them into the stall and gave them each a glass of freshly squeezed peach juice. She said, "You're still young, just sit and watch the show."
"Sister, they look very cruel."
"It's okay, they're all paper tigers."
Jiang Yingxue also looked at the rioters coldly and said, "According to you, everything delicious in this world is poisonous. But it's also true that people like you don't deserve to eat spiritual food."
"Loss money? I sell high-quality and low-priced food, why should I lose money? As for you going for a checkup, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Shen Xiuhua's eyes widened, almost popping out of her head. "What? You won't pay me! You black-hearted bastard, you killed our child and you dare not pay me! Do you think I'm someone you can easily bully?"
Wang Chunyu and Zhang Jiancheng rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. Their intention was obvious, which was to smash Jiang Yingxue's stall.
Seeing what they were doing, Shen Xiuhua also rushed after them.
You won’t pay any compensation, right? Let me show you how powerful we are!
But Jiang Yingxue didn't give them a chance. She flipped her hand and a black whip appeared in her hand. She swung the whip at the three people who were about to smash her stall, and they flew out like rag dolls.
"ah!"
"it hurts!"
“It hurts so much!”
When Grandma Zhang Tong saw the three of them collapse, she didn't have time to think about why this happened. She immediately lay down in front of the stall and howled, "Help! This wicked man is beating people! Someone come quickly!"
