In short, it will definitely not be as good as it is now, where we can operate stably.

The reason why they can gain the trust of residents who jointly report on their behalf is that they conduct business with conscience and operate with honesty.

The stall owner next door was heartbroken: "Old Li, I really didn't expect you to do such a crooked trick and even dare to adjust the scale!"

"You disappoint us all so much!"

With the irrefutable evidence before their eyes, no one would believe Lao Li no matter how cunning he was.

He himself is well aware of this, and the best way at the moment is naturally to "sincerely admit his mistakes."

Old Li's face immediately turned bitter: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I was bewitched, I just like to take advantage of others."

"Please, give me a chance, a chance to correct my mistakes. I will definitely change my ways in the future! I will never make this mistake again!"

Old Li turned his head again and looked at Sheng Yuan.

"Little girl, it's my fault. You guys want to buy king crabs, right? Okay, I'll give you 20% off. No, 30% is fine! 40% is fine! I can also give you some other seafood."

"If you can only forgive me!"

Old Li was about to cry as he spoke, and began to talk about how difficult his life was and how he had a whole family to take care of. If he was kicked out of the vegetable market, it would be difficult for him to do business in the future.

He spoke with tears in his voice and pleading in his eyes, completely lacking the smug and philistine look he had just had. It was hard to watch him without feeling moved.

“…”

The atmosphere around was silent.

Sheng Yuan pursed her lips: "Are you sure about what you said?"

Make sure you really realize your mistakes and will definitely correct them.

Hearing this.

Old Li was stunned, as if he had not expected Sheng Yuan to be so easy to talk to. He looked up in surprise and excitedly wiped his tears: "Sure! I'm sure, sure!"

Everyone looked at this scene and sighed silently. They just hoped that the owner of this seafood stall would run his business with integrity in the future. This time, they would just give him a warning.

No one noticed that when Lao Li raised his hand to wipe it, a look of success flashed in his eyes.

I was just trying to play the victim on purpose, but this group of people believed it. Especially the little girl in front of me, she was even easier to fool. It was true that young people are easily fooled.

Old Li was just about to put his hand down and was about to continue pretending to be pitiful and say a few words.

Then I heard the girl's voice say faintly: "Then take out what you have in your hand."

Old Li froze. "W-what?"

Sheng Yuan's eyes were calm as she repeated, "The thing in my hand."

Everyone: ??? What is that thing in your hand?

Following Sheng Yuan's words, everyone looked at Lao Li's hand. The next second, Lao Li reflexively hid his right hand, which was wearing a waterproof glove, behind himself.

“…”

At first, Sheng Yuan knew that some merchants would tamper with the packaging bags, and she also noticed that the owner of the seafood stall used the same method.

But that's not right.

Even if this kind of packaging bag can secretly weigh the crabs, after adding the approximate amount of weight shortfall after using the packaging bag, it still does not match the number of king crabs they want to buy.

It's a long way off.

The problem isn't just with black plastic bags.

I just wanted to repeat my name to confirm, but the boss jumped up and down in panic as if his tail was stepped on.

Then, Sheng Yuan confirmed that the problem was still with the scale.

When everyone heard Sheng Yuan say "There's something wrong not only with the packaging bag, but also with the scale", they just thought she was saying that the sensitivity of the scale had been adjusted.

In fact, it’s not just that.

—

What no one expected was that the matter was not over yet and there was a reversal!

The seafood stall owner, who was called Lao Li, not only used plastic bags to weigh the scale, but also adjusted the scale privately.

Moreover, he secretly hid a magnet in his gloves.

Then, the number of king crabs, which was far different, was matched.

Coincidentally, this was the latest thing that Lao Li had come up with. Just as he was about to take it out and was thinking of finding someone to "try their hand" with it, Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan, who came to purchase seafood early in the morning, walked up to his stall.

Lao Li was originally unsure and worried about the risks, but he had sharp ears and heard a voice message played by a staff member of the program team nearby.

From the general content of the voice message, it was understood that Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan both had little purchasing experience, so the photographer was asked to focus on shooting them.

Old Li caught sight of these words, his eyes moved around shrewdly for a few seconds, and he happily decided to start with Sheng Yuan Shiyan.

Old Li never expected that not only did he fail to make the huge profit he expected, but he was also completely exposed.

Now, no matter how he admitted his mistakes and cried, even if he was really panicked this time and apologized sincerely, this vegetable market would not keep such a person with such a bad record.

Someone called the reporting line.

After a while, someone in uniform with a work badge hanging around his neck came over and sealed off Lao Li’s seafood stall. Lao Li was also taken away and will be punished after investigation.

The atmosphere of the barrage in Group C's live broadcast room was extremely subtle.

[Fuck... this seafood stall owner is really disgusting. ]

[In fact, this stupid boss dumped dirty water on Sheng Yuan several times, but Sheng Yuan remained calm from beginning to end.]

[Yes, I really didn't mean to embarrass anyone, I just wanted to complete the purchasing task, but who knew that the boss was so outrageous that he directly pulled the seafood stall owners around to unite and not sell the goods to the guests in Group A. ]

[It was probably because of this that Sheng Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and exposed him. ]

[Even at the end, Sheng Yuan had always given the boss a chance, but who knew that the boss would be so stubborn! ]

【……】

At this time, several new comments appeared on the public screen. Judging from the account, they were probably passers-by.

[Family members! Did you see that? Sheng Yuan brings his own scale when buying groceries! ]

[Actually…actually, I have always had this idea, to bring my own scale when buying things, but I only dare to think about it because I think it is quite embarrassing…]

[+1, I actually brought it with me once, and I put it in the shopping cart, but when I got to the market, I didn’t dare to take it out because of my social anxiety.

I could tell there was something wrong with the weight, but I didn’t dare to say anything. I ended up going home and weighing it myself, and it really was short! I was so pissed off!!]

[So, sisters, think about it carefully! This is our behavior of protecting our rights as consumers! ]
