After collecting the local products, Ma Shangdao would weigh them in front of them. If both parties had no objections, he would start calculating the payment.
Generally speaking, there will be no problem with this step.
Before bringing things over, everyone will weigh the goods at home, so everyone knows how much their goods weigh.
There is no problem with the scales here, and there will be no deductions. Therefore, there has never been any dispute about the weight over the years.
But what Ma Shangdao didn't expect was that something went wrong this time.
After Ma Shangdao weighed the chicken that Old Man Wang brought over, he quickly told him the weight and then prepared to calculate the money.
Unexpectedly, when Old Man Wang heard this, he started to yell that the weight was wrong, saying that the one he weighed at home was two taels heavier than the one Ma Shangdao weighed.
In other words, Ma Shangdao deducted the credit from him.
When Ma Shangdao heard this, he was immediately confused.
He had already weighed so much on the scale, and he had weighed other people a few minutes ago without any problems. But when he came to Old Man Wang, he said he had weighed too little.
Since it concerned his reputation and credibility, he of course immediately explained the situation and said that there was no problem with his scale.
On the contrary, he suspected that there was something wrong with the Wang family's own scale.
After he said that, Old Man Wang became unhappy too, and shouted loudly, saying that he was already in his forties, and he would not cheat people for a few dozen dollars!
In the end, the two sides were arguing and the village chief came out to mediate and went to find a scale to weigh the fish.
The weight measured this time was almost the same as that measured by Ma Shangdao, and the situation was very clear: there was something wrong with the Wang family's scale.
When Old Man Wang saw this, his face suddenly turned dark. He stared at Ma Shangdao with bulging eyes and stopped talking.
It was obvious that he was not convinced, but because the facts were in front of him, he had nothing to say.
To be honest, when Ma Shangdao saw Old Man Wang's expression, he was really angry.
He was wrongly accused for no reason, and when the truth came out, not only did the other party not apologize to him, but he also had a stern face as if he had bullied the other party.
No matter how bad his temper is, he doesn't want to be a soft persimmon.
Especially since he is a businessman, if he doesn't follow some rules, everyone will be able to do the same thing to him in the future.
By then, he won't have so many idle people to weigh himself to prove himself.
Moreover, those people might think that he was just fooling around and trying to get away with it.
In order to prevent such incidents from happening, Ma Shangdao simply did not accept the chicken that Old Man Wang brought.
Besides, the chicken that Old Man Wang brought over was too small and too thin to begin with, and it didn't meet the standards. He had thought of accepting it before because he felt that Old Man Wang looked pitiful with so many chickens.
After the weigh-in incident, he realized that his sympathy seemed unnecessary.
After Ma Shangdao said he would not accept his chicken, Old Man Wang's expression finally changed.
But his expression did not become panic and helpless, nor did he come to apologize to Ma Shang, but became even more angry.
He looked at Ma Shangdao angrily, and then said, "Tai, an old man like me is being bullied by you like this! God sees what we do, and a black-hearted person like you will definitely be punished!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with the chicken.
Ma Shangdao felt angry, funny, and speechless at the time.
I was wrongly deducted the weight for no apparent reason, and not even received an apology. But don’t I also have the right to not accept his goods?
Why, he had to kowtow to Old Man Wang to sell him the chick?
I never expected to meet such a person.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers began to comfort Ma Shangdao, saying that Old Man Wang had always had a strange temper and asked him not to be angry with him.
Ma Shangdao knew that they were worried that because of Old Man Wang’s matter, they were afraid that he would not come to collect things from them in the future.
Although what happened to Tian was indeed speechless, it was none of other people's business, so Ma Shangdao assured everyone that he would not take it to heart.
He really didn't take this matter to heart. After all, he had been doing business for a few years and had met many strange people and strange things. If he got angry and depressed every time he encountered such a situation, how could he continue his business?
So after saying this, Ma Shangdao put Old Man Wang's matter behind him, packed up the rest of the people's goods and quickly left the village.
After that, we returned to the factory and dealt with the goods as needed, returning to our normal life.
Then two days later, he began to encounter those strange things.
Because the matter with Old Man Wang couldn’t be called a quarrel, and it wasn’t a big dispute either.
A more accurate description is that it's a bit like a child throwing a tantrum.
Because it was too childish and not a very important matter, Ma Shangdao never thought about it again after he came here.
It was only now that he heard Lin Xi mention the time point of "ten days ago" that he remembered that incident.
"If I had to say who I had an argument with that day, it was that old man."
Ma Shangdao looked doubtful after he finished speaking.
"But it wasn't really a fight on our end, just a minor disagreement. It couldn't be him who did anything, right?"
Just as Old Man Wang said that day, he is in his forties and shouldn't be so stingy.
Although he boasted a few times before leaving, it sounded like he just said it casually to save face.
Lin Xi had never met Old Man Wang, so naturally he couldn't be sure of anything.
She only confirmed with Ma Shangdao whether he had only had an argument with Old Man Wang that day.
Ma Shangdao was very sure of this.
In that case, I can only go to Old Man Wang to confirm it first.
You'll know if it's him when you see him.
Ma Shangdao also felt that what Lin Xi said made sense, so he quickly drove Lin Xi to the village.
Two hours later, the car finally arrived at the destination after a bumpy journey.
In fact, according to previous habits, yesterday should have been the day when Ma Shangdao came to the village to collect things.
But because he was exhausted by the "ghost sightings" and bad luck that happened in recent days, he had already called the villagers in advance and told them that he would not be able to come in the next few days.
When the villagers learned that he was unwell, they expressed their understanding and asked him to recuperate first.
So no one expected that Ma Shangdao would suddenly come to the village at this time.
When they saw the familiar van appear, the people closest to the village entrance hurried over and asked him in surprise why he was there.
Ma Shangdao naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he just vaguely said that he had something to do with Wang Hu and wanted to visit his house.
Although the villagers found it strange, they still enthusiastically took Ma Shangdao and the other man to Wang's house.
When they got near Wang's house, Lin Xi quickly noticed something and asked the guide.
"Has this family just had a funeral?"
