"Hey? Look at her fruit. The top layer is flesh, and the bottom is all pits! No wonder a bag is so heavy."
There was someone standing by her stall, weighing the fruits she had weighed. They looked quite large, but it turned out that half of them were pits.
"Really!"
Many people were attracted by what he said and opened each bag to examine it carefully.
"You're such a ruthless person! You're stuffing unsold old fruit with the huge pits! You deserve it when no one comes to your stall!"
"Don't you know? This stall has always had so much leftovers because the items are too expensive and no one buys them."
An elderly man who came in from nowhere started talking to the people next to him.
"You know quite a lot, don't you?"
"Well, I've lived on this street for a long time, so I know which shops are good value for money and which stalls are shady. Theirs is no good."
The man waved his hands, a look of disgust on his face.
"The fruits were freshly harvested at that time, and other places were offering affordable prices, but theirs was not only expensive, but their food was not as delicious as other places.
Finally, a sucker showed up, and hey, they caught him. They took advantage of the customer's inattention, and since he was a new customer, not only did they charge a much higher price, but they also secretly stuffed all the unsold goods into the store while the customer was not paying attention. They even said, "Sir, you are so generous, we will waive two cents for you."
The old man clicked his tongue twice, his disgust evident in his words.
The people around all cursed the boss for being shameless.
"Tsk! What the hell!"
"Tsk! How shameless! And two cents? Judging from the amount that person bought, I'm afraid he would have bought out their stall. And he only charged two cents. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, what a ruthless person!"
"That's right! If she hadn't insisted on secretly stuffing so much, that person wouldn't have had to pay so much extra! This boss has no shame in saying such things!"
"So you're an old hand! No wonder you're still forcing sales on a little girl!"
"Bah! Bullying a little girl! Even cheating a little girl out of her money! How vicious!"
The people around were cursing, and those who had been pointing fingers at the little girl turned around and scolded the stall owner.
The stall owner looked at the excited crowd, fearing that they would smash her stall in a fit of rage, and she couldn't beat them.
She waved her hands to drive away the crowd that gathered around her, and her words were also very harsh.
"Go away! Don't touch my stuff! In my business, it's a matter of willing buyer and willing seller! So what if it's too expensive? The customer didn't say anything, why are you chatterboxes talking here?
Get out! I tell you, if you break anything of mine, you'll have to pay for it!"
Seeing how arrogant she was, those people were unwilling to be outdone. Some of them were hot-tempered and had just come to watch the show. When they were suddenly pushed by her, they immediately became furious and rolled up their sleeves to start fighting.
Zhang You just wanted to seek justice for the little girl and didn't want to cause more people to fight because of the conflict.
She quickly pulled the hot-tempered aunt away.
"Auntie, auntie, don't be anxious. There's no point getting involved with someone like that. Don't let her blackmail you. That would be more trouble than you gain."
The old lady was not an impulsive person. She suppressed her anger after hearing the advice, but she still cursed the black-hearted boss a few times to vent her anger.
Everyone around is here to watch the fun, and no one wants to be part of the fun themselves.
They can contribute their insignificant sense of justice and believe anyone's so-called truth without any discrimination. But they don't really care about the facts, they don't care who is wronged, and they will not regret what consequences their words will lead to.
They just want to have fun.
So from the very beginning, what Zhang You wanted was just to change the direction of public opinion and let the boss suffer the consequences.
If this led to a fight, it would go against her idea.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was supporting the little girl, Zhang You spoke at the right time.
"Alas, a shop like yours is too risky for anyone to take action. We don't want the things you weighed.
We don't have enough money to do this business, so you should keep it and sell it to your wealthy customers."
Zhang You took the little girl's hand and left.
The boss is now unable to take care of himself. Even if he still wants to drag the little girl away and not let her leave, the people watching around will not let her do so.
Sometimes, watching the fun is also a kind-hearted act and can help solve problems.
The little girl had never seen such a quarrel before. She was still dazed and cute when Zhang You pulled her away.
Zhang You couldn't help but rub her head and smiled gently.
"Okay, okay, it's okay now."
The little girl looked at her elder sister who was squatting in front of her and looking at her at eye level. The tenderness in her eyes seemed to have substance, comforting her frightened little heart.
She was moved by Zhang You's emotions and gradually relaxed. The corners of her mouth rose slightly and she hugged Zhang You.
"Thank you."
The little girl is very well-behaved and polite.
Zhang You patted her back gently to calm her down.
"Uh-huh."
Wei Qian left as soon as they left. He was just a scholar and had only learned about worldly affairs from books and in the mansion. He really didn't know how to deal with such a quarrel.
Fortunately, someone came to help.
She looked like a maid, but unexpectedly she was such a kind-hearted person.
He had a gentle smile on his face as he watched Zhang You comfort the little girl.
"Okay, it's getting late. Don't you still need to get medicine for your mother?"
"Well, my dad is still waiting for me at the pharmacy. I have to leave now."
"Here, this is for you. I brought this with me. Take it back to your mother and you don't need to buy any more. It's so late, your father must be worried."
The little girl was stuffed with a small pouch of candied fruit by Zhang You. She was a little at a loss and didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it, but I've only eaten half the bag."
Chunhua had been following Zhang You all the time. Seeing that the little girl was shy and didn't dare to accept the purse, she bent down and persuaded her softly.
"Just take it. This sister is always like this. She will help anyone she meets who she likes. If you accept it, she will be happy too."
"I...I can give you money."
"No need, this kind of thing is not expensive, there is no need to charge you a little girl for this little thing.
Okay, okay, go back quickly. It’s hard to walk in the dark.”
The little girl hesitated, but finally Zhang You waved her hand and let her go back.
"Thank you for your help, may I ask your name?"
Wei Qian spoke at the right time, his usual gentle and elegant manner.
Zhang You wanted to laugh at his classic opening remarks, but luckily she managed to hold it back and didn't laugh out loud.
