Just as he finished speaking, he heard something being pushed over, followed by the sound of water splashing onto the ground, and people around him screamed as they tried to avoid it.
Sheng Yuan looked down and saw the water almost spreading to her feet.
Lin Xue stood by with a look of being used to it: "It was the stall owner who was previously found to have cheated on the scales. After his stall was taken away, he was unwilling to resign and brought people here almost every day to bring trouble to this new stall."
"They deliberately threatened the new stall owner to move out and he would not dare to continue doing business at this location because he still believed that the stall belonged to him."
"Calling the police is useless. The police come and give a few warnings and lock him up for a while, but he comes back the next day. There's really nothing you can do about these hooligans."
Through the gap in the crowd, Sheng Yuan saw the new stall owner.
A girl was bending down to pick up a few fish that were bouncing on the ground. She was wearing a dark green waterproof apron, and the large apron made her figure look even thinner.
But his back showed resilience. He did not cry or get scared even when being bullied. He just silently picked up the fallen water tank.
Fortunately, it was the water tank on the ground floor that was knocked over. It did not break when it hit the ground, but the water tank was too heavy, and it was difficult for her to lift it even with her clenched hands. The residents who were passing by to buy vegetables had also witnessed the viciousness of these hooligans and did not dare to step forward for fear of causing trouble.
"Hey Sheng Yuan, where are you going? Don't meddle in other people's business—" Lin Xue's voice fell on deaf ears.
Zhu Miao had no strength left when she lifted the first water tank and then the second one. She relaxed for a while and prepared to do it in one go. As soon as she stretched out her hands, she found that she could lift the water tanks easily.
She looked up and saw the girl squatting in front of her with her eyebrows drooping. She was stunned. After the two of them worked together to successfully move the water tank back to its original place, Zhu Miao finally reacted.
"Ah, thank you."
Sheng Yuan: “You’re welcome.”
When Zhu Miao wanted to move the remaining two water tanks, he found that they had already been moved.
Shi Yan finished moving the items in silence, then stood up and pulled the shopping cart back in front of him.
The three troublemakers left after they were done. They were paid for the job and did not want to make a big deal out of it. They just thought Zhu Miao was a lonely girl and easy to bully, so they wanted to scare her away in a scary way. When they saw someone was helping Zhu Miao, they did not take action, but left a harsh word that if they saw Zhu Miao still there tomorrow, they would keep harassing her.
Zhu Miao thanked Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan again. Shi Yan turned to look at Sheng Yuan without saying a word.
Sheng Yuan replied to Zhu Miao: "It's a small matter."
Then the two of them were about to leave.
At this time, Zhu Miao suddenly grabbed Sheng Yuan's hand, feeling a little awkward and inexplicably happy: "Um, I'm Zhu Miao. I mean, my name is Zhu Miao."
"The Zhu in Zhu Yingtai's name is composed of three waters, and the Miao is composed of three waters!" She introduced her name to Sheng Yuan enthusiastically, looking at Sheng Yuan with sparkling eyes.
Sheng Yuan nodded: "Sheng Yuan."
After a slight pause, Sheng Yuan thought for a moment: "Sheng for prosperous, Yuan for kite." - Today was another day of heavy losses before the stall even started, but Zhu Miao was not in a bad mood.
The mess behind her that was made by that group of people had not been cleaned up yet, but Zhu Miao didn't care. She stretched her neck and watched Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan leave.
To be precise, Zhu Miao was looking at Sheng Yuan alone. She watched Sheng Yuan's gradually receding figure, and then she answered quietly to herself: "Yes, I know you, Sheng Yuan."
"Long time no see, Miss." She called out this name affectionately. -The shopping for ingredients is over.
Before getting in the car, Lin Xue couldn't help but look at Sheng Yuan: "Actually, it's meaningless for you to help her like this. We saw her here alone these past two days, and she didn't see any friends or family."
"If those people come again tomorrow, she won't be able to handle them alone. For safety's sake, it would be better to let her give up and move away from the stall. It's better than being harassed by those hooligans every day."
Sheng Yuan narrowed her eyes: "Come again?"
"I'm afraid it's not possible."
Lin Xue looked puzzled: "How can you be so sure?"
Sheng Yuan had already gotten into the car and didn't answer Lin Xue's question. -Lin Xue didn't know that the three hooligans who were looking for trouble were targeted as soon as they walked out of the vegetable market.
As soon as they finished their work, the leader made a phone call to claim credit and ask for money, chewing betel nut and opening and closing his mouth to reveal his dark yellow teeth covered with dirt:
"Hey brother, it's done. You can transfer the money now."
After getting the promise from the other end of the phone, he smiled arrogantly and replied, "We will make that woman get out of that stall. Besides you, if anyone dares to go to that stall, we will make it impossible for him to do business."
The two lackeys following beside him also laughed.
One of them took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it to the leader, and the other one raised a lighter and was about to light it.
No one noticed that a Volkswagen that was so dirty and covered in mud that no one would pay much attention to it even if it was parked on the side of the road, drove over silently and stopped quietly behind the three people.
It was still early, and the usually quiet streets were even quieter and more deserted. There was only a lit cigarette still emitting sparks and two twisted slippers on the ground... - The confused crowd still didn't understand what kind of variety show this was.
While cursing, he looked down and saw that you have been browsing the live broadcast room for the whole morning. If you like this variety show live broadcast room, please give it a cute little follow~ Follow! ? Wishful thinking!! No!!! They don’t like it!!! They stayed just to see and find out what the so-called "lunch menu" is! Can it be more outrageous than lard latte? !
Is there anything more explosive than coriander milk tea? !
Could it be greener than spinach juice and millet porridge? ! Unknown people were impatient: [No, if the photographer really has Parkinson's disease, I suggest you go to the hospital first. You are shaking so much that I feel sick! ]
[Stop, really stop! Don't say the last two words! I will - puke later. (The user went to vomit.)]
[Speechless, brother above, you have been vomiting for the whole morning. Haven’t you finished vomiting yet? You haven’t vomited so much~it’s exaggerated~right? ? ? Really vomiting~outrageous~]
[Here, I really want to solemnly clear the name of the program crew's photographer. The hand tremor may not be caused by Parkinson's disease. ]
[Those of you who look up at the clock, look at the clock. Those who look down at the watch, look at the watch. Those who don't have a clock or a watch, look at the sun. Based on the direction of the sun, you can calculate what time it is.]
It's half past ten.
It’s…half…past…ten…
Ah, it seems that it is time to announce Sheng Yuan’s lunch menu...
