370 Hao Huaping sets up a stall
"Really? Impossible?"
Hao Huaping looked at the unfriendly customer in front of him and explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"The fresh juice I squeezed out at noon."
"Then what do you mean? Am I trying to blackmail you? It clearly smells sour!"
The customer who had just bought the juice and was about to pay heard this and hurriedly put down the juice in his hand.
Hao Huaping shouted anxiously, "Don't listen to him. This is really freshly squeezed today."
"Is this true?"
A young man asked doubtfully, suggesting that Hao Huaping open the lid of the barrel for everyone to see.
Hao Huaping only wanted to prove that there was nothing wrong with the things, so he immediately opened the lid of the barrel containing the juice.
A not-so-fresh fruity sour smell instantly wafted out. The customers in front of the stall quickly stepped back, pointing at Hao Huaping and saying that she was dishonest for selling spoiled goods.
"Impossible, I just drank it, there is no strange smell, the weather is not hot, it is impossible for it to go bad in just half a day..."
Before Hao Huaping finished explaining, there was a "bang" and the customer who bought the juice slammed the cup onto the stall and said sternly:
"Give me back! I just drank it all, and my child drank it too. If he gets diarrhea, you'll be responsible!"
The people watching nearby nodded, feeling that the customer's request was not excessive at all.
This was Hao Huaping's first time setting up a stall today, and she never expected to encounter such a thing.
She had no experience and had no idea that fresh juice would go bad if left in a barrel without any treatment for a while.
Before setting up the stall, all I was thinking about was that the juice I made would be very popular and I would make a lot of money.
The result was that they sold spoiled juice.
Faced with the buyer's angry face and the pointing and talking of passers-by, Hao Huaping felt a buzzing in her head, a heat spreading from her neck to her face, and her face turned red.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Hao Huaping had to hurriedly return the money he had just collected to the customer.
At the same time, I guarantee that if anything goes wrong, I will be responsible.
She couldn't flatter customers with sweet words like other vendors. If she apologized, the customers would think she was insincere and was only pretending out of necessity.
Suddenly, his anger surged up again, and he shouted, "What's your attitude? I'm asking you, what's your attitude?!"
Hao Huaping took a deep breath, walked up to the guest, and said seriously:
"I'm sorry, I'll compensate you three times, okay?"
As he said this, he was about to take out the money.
The customer sneered, "Why are you setting up a stall with that kind of attitude? Customers are king, don't you understand? I've really run into a ghost today. I thought you were polite and your stall was clean, so I wanted to help you with your business, but now you're so good-looking that you gave me a glass of spoiled juice, and this is how you treat me?"
Hao Huaping closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply: "It's all my fault. I'm sorry to you and the child."
Seeing her like this, the onlookers advised the customer to forget it and not to bother with the young woman.
The customer was annoyed: "Damn it, it's my bad luck!"
"What kind of person is this? Why are you doing something else at such a young age and selling this harmful thing?"
The guest glared at Hao Huaping and then left with the child.
Hao Huaping lowered her head, even the roots of her ears felt burning, so hot that she couldn't hear the discussions of the people around her, and she didn't want to hear them.
A large barrel of juice was wasted, so she bought a second-hand tricycle to sell juice here.
I thought I could do business as well as the small vendors in the square, but I didn't expect that I would have to face so many unexpected things while doing business.
Some people advised her to leave quickly, some people hypocritically asked how a young person could sell things at the night market, and some people looked her up and down with unfriendly eyes.
It was clearly dark, and the stall was illuminated only by a dim flashlight.
But Hao Huaping felt as if she was caught in the spotlight at this moment.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, and countless mouths were talking together, mumbling something to her.
Hao Huaping, who has always lived a glamorous and respected life, experienced the stall owner's feelings for the first time.
She thought of Gao Qinghe and his sister who set up a stall on the street in Qing County to sell clothes.
At that time, she watched them from the perspective of a passerby and thought that the brother and sister were shouting really hard. Such beautiful women were not afraid of being seen by others.
Only now do I understand how strong the heart of a person who can achieve that is.
Hao Huaping packed up his stall in silence.
He turned off the flashlight, refused the homeless man who tried to beg for the waste juice in the bucket, and pedaled away on his tricycle in an unskilled manner.
There were countless vendors setting up stalls in the square, not one more and not one less than her.
Apart from giving passers-by some topics to talk about because of what had just happened, it was as if she had never been there.
Hao Huaping felt that she must have a problem with her brain, which was why she came here to set up a stall part-time.
But if she wasn't short of money, she wouldn't have thought of going to these night snack stalls.
The street lights in front of me are dim, and occasionally a taxi carrying a late-returning passenger or a leisurely stroller passes by on the road.
Second-hand tricycles are very cheap, which is directly proportional to the quality of the garbage they are.
Hao Huaping pedaled with great effort, so tired that she was almost having hallucinations.
She seemed to see the happy and warm appearance of the family of three.
They stood in front, talking and laughing to themselves, as if she didn't exist as she passed by.
To be honest, seeing Gao Qinghe and his wife so relaxed and comfortable, Hao Huaping couldn't help but feel an unspeakable resentment in her heart.
She didn't know why, but she could feel that Gao Qinghe was deliberately targeting her.
For example, at Gao Qingsong’s wedding on National Day last year.
The system taught her to be a generous woman, to think positively about everything, and to believe that suffering a loss is a blessing.
But Gao Qinghe made her suffer a great loss this time.
A huge loss that made her go from being praised by everyone to being despised by everyone!
Gao Qinghe might know, or she might not.
Because of what she said at the wedding, she lost the teaching opportunity at the provincial university that was about to come her way.
Her father treated her as a stain and almost beat her to death by accident. He also forced her to completely sever ties with Brother Zhenghua.
If it doesn't continue, he will treat her as his daughter and won't care about her anymore.
The system always says that loving someone means risking your life for them.
How can there be happiness in return without sacrifice?
Besides, she has been waiting for this man for too many years and has wasted too much time.
She couldn't just let it go.
Otherwise it would seem that she has been stupid all these years.
The system won't harm her!
She must persevere and let everyone see the huge rewards she will receive.
When the time comes, she will slap the faces of those who look down on her!
Hao Huaping resolutely got a marriage certificate with Zhou Zhenghua.
The two of them made their marriage vows in the Civil Affairs Bureau, in a corner where no one was witnessing them.
This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against his father.
However, Hao Huaping did not expect that while she lost her father's help, there were also people from the Gu family who were secretly trying to trip her up.
