Jiang Jingxue glanced at it, then picked up the net bag and weighed it in her hand.
Her intuition is always very accurate; this fish definitely doesn't weigh three pounds.
The street vendor tampered with the scales.
Without a doubt.
"I don't want it anymore."
Jiang Jingxue tossed the fish back onto the stall and made a move to leave.
The vendor panicked when he saw this and immediately raised his voice to stop them, "Stop! You touched my fish but aren't going to buy it, what's going on?"
The vendors nearby immediately gathered around, each carrying their own tools.
"Give me money, or you're not leaving here."
Qin Liang reached out to protect Jiang Jingxue, "Madam, I will find a chance to let you leave."
These street vendors have been entrenched here for years and have long been in cahoots with each other, bullying outsiders as their targets.
Faced with the threat, Jiang Jingxue remained calm, her face displaying a look of disdain.
The vendors were quite puzzled about what she would do.
"No need, Qin Liang, move aside."
The leading vendor stood with his hands on his hips, looking at her. "Hurry up and pay! You dress like a respectable capitalist, but you can't even afford to buy fish. All you know how to do is bully ordinary people like us!"
As more and more people gathered to watch the spectacle, the vendors hawked their wares even more enthusiastically.
"Oh dear, I'm so miserable! I can't live like this anymore!"
As the crowd grew larger, many people began pointing and whispering about Jiang Jingxue.
Qin Liang was clearly at a loss, his face flushed, and he looked at Jiang Jingxue with a flustered expression...
"Who said I don't want it anymore? The money's right here..."
Picking up the fish, Jiang Jingxue slammed the money down on the stall and quickly left the market.
"That's it?"
The excitement was over, and the stall owners were also stunned.
I thought they were going to take action today, but it was resolved just like that?
Qin Liang followed behind, looking completely bewildered.
"Keep up."
She ran over quickly and, seeing the doubt on his face, Jiang Jingxue said directly, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
"Madam, why did you suffer in silence just now? That person was clearly trying to trick you."
He could tell there was something wrong with the scale.
“They are local bullies. If we keep arguing over a few dollars, we won’t gain anything, and we might even implicate Gu Pingwei. It’s not worth it.”
Qin Liang nodded, and in his heart he had to agree with her words.
As expected of a major's wife, her brain is way ahead of his.
However, he still felt that those people were going too far.
Seeing his dissatisfaction, Jiang Jingxue continued, "Once we take over this whole street, are we still afraid of not being able to deal with them?"
Seeing the smile on Jiang Jingxue's face, Qin Liang immediately understood.
He's still too easily swayed.
"Madam, your move is truly brilliant."
Faced with Qin Liang's admiring gaze, Jiang Jingxue chuckled and regained her composure.
"Let's go back."
We've pretty much finished inspecting everything outside, and while passing by the market, we noticed some newly released pastries.
Jiang Jingxue thought of Tang Qiuzhu, so she went inside to buy some things before taking the bus.
The bus arrived shortly after I got to the station.
They had just boarded the bus when a mother and daughter walked up from a short distance away.
The younger woman with braided hair was the first to notice the figure from behind. She was startled and looked up at it for a few more glances.
It really is Jiang Jingxue!
The woman with the braided hair suddenly narrowed her eyes and slapped the woman next to her hard.
"Mom, is that Jiang Jingxue?"
The mother and daughter exchanged a stunned look. "This...this really is that brat? She's not dead?"
Jiang Zhizhi stomped her foot and quickly pulled her mother to stop the person.
As the bus started moving, Jiang Zhizhi became increasingly anxious.
"Mom, the car has already left. We finally ran into someone. If we don't chase after them now, who knows when we'll get another chance?"
It's not easy to find someone in such a big place.
Yao Guilan gritted her teeth and made a decision, "Chase after them, run there quickly."
Thinking about the back view I just saw, that brat seems to be doing quite well.
Although the fabric of my precious Zhizhi's clothes is not bad, a closer look reveals that it is not as good as that brat's clothes.
Yao Guilan felt a burning pain in her heart that her heartless sister, who was enjoying a good life, didn't think about her family at all.
"Let's go, let's catch up with that brat and demand our money!"
The mother and daughter quickly put their heads together and took off running.
The bus wasn't going very fast, but it had four wheels after all, and it would take a lot of effort to keep up with it on foot.
Jiang Zhizhi was out of breath from running, and Yao Guilan was in no better shape.
But when I think of Jiang Jingxue's satin dress, I know she must be doing well.
If they catch up with her, how much money can they squeeze out of her?
Thinking of this, they suddenly regained their strength, "Hang in there!"
After chasing for several kilometers, the bus finally stopped briefly. The mother and daughter were overjoyed and quickly ran after it.
The bus door was being slammed loudly.
The driver finally opened the door.
"Phew, I'm exhausted."
The mother and daughter got into the car, their calves trembling as they held onto the door.
The ticket seller was collecting money at the front, and Yao Guilan looked reluctant when she heard the price.
Jiang Zhizhi noticed this and leaned closer, lowering her voice, "Mom, don't worry about the car fare. With Jiang Jingxue here, just let her pay, right?"
Yao Guilan's pained expression disappeared again.
Her daughter is much smarter.
Along the way, Yao Guilan and her daughter tried every means to get close to Jiang Jingxue, their eyes darting around furtively.
Jiang Jingxue, who was pretending to doze off in her seat, didn't notice, but Qin Liang became alert.
