"Oh? It's a bit far!"
Xiaoxi didn't know much about Quanji Shaomai, but she had been busy all morning and there was nothing of value here. The smell of that shumai was really tempting.
Those middle-aged women must also be full of fake apples, which is why they are so malnourished.
Seeing the little girl's innocent face, the two men couldn't help but continue to criticize her.
“We went down the mountain to buy shumai early this morning after arriving at Xishanpo. We queued for almost two hours, not counting the time spent on the way.”
"Quan Ji only sells until 10 o'clock, but unfortunately the siu mai is being snatched up now. Are they trying to kill us?"
Xiaoxi immediately grasped the important information in their conversation.
I. I went to buy shumai early in the morning after arriving at the West Hill.
Second, it's just shumai, and they got robbed. Does that mean they'll suffer a terrible fate?
"Uncle, why did you only buy shumai when you got to the top of the mountain? Why didn't you just buy it before going up? It's just one shumai; if you run out, you can sell it again tomorrow!"
"If we don't have shumai tomorrow, will we even survive until tomorrow? It's all because of the young prince... no, our leader specifically requested it."
The stern-faced staff member almost let slip what he was saying, and quickly corrected himself.
"Alright, young lady, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. We need to report this to our superiors right away."
Another, thinner staff member, fearing that he might say too much and make a mistake, stopped himself in time.
"Oh right! Uncle, weren't we going to call the police? A few middle-aged women were robbing us and even hitting us."
Xiao Xi also wanted to run with the two of them.
"Young lady, there are no police officers around in Xishan. By the time the police from the foot of the mountain arrive, they won't be able to find those old ladies anymore."
Xiaoxi noticed that the two men were clearly wary of the Buddhist prayer beads in the older woman's hand, and they didn't want Xiaoxi to continue following them.
Suddenly, Xiaoxi's phone watch rang; it was Fifth Brother calling.
"Xiaoxi, where are you? An old man just said that you were beaten up by these four middle-aged women. They even stole the shumai that the staff packed. The old man has already dealt with the women."
"Okay, brother, I'll be right back!"
The phone watch was a bit loud, and the two men heard it too, mainly because of the information about the shumai.
Their hope was rekindled: maybe the shumai could still be saved?
"Little girl, we'll go back with you and take a look."
The three ran back and, sure enough, saw that Wu Changquan had already pinned several middle-aged women to the ground.
Wu Changquan doesn't usually hit women. He had been following Xiao Xi from a distance and saw the old woman push Xiao Xi. He guessed that Xiao Xi did it on purpose so she could grab the staff member's shumai.
As soon as Wu Changquan saw Xiaoxi run away, he immediately broke his decades-long rule of not hitting women.
"We were wrong, we'll never do it again," the woman pleaded.
They each had a box of shumai, but after taking only one bite, they were knocked to the ground.
Xiao Xi pretended not to know Wu Changquan, "Thank you, grandpa!"
Ye Xingxian coldly stared at the four middle-aged women on the ground.
"Apologize to my sister! Otherwise, I won't let this go today!"
"Young lady, we're sorry, we'll compensate you!" The four middle-aged women looked disheveled.
"Hmph, I don't want money, give me back the beads you have."
