"Stop!" Feng Jiuyan shouted coldly.
The little beggar raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Feng Jiuyan.
He knew she wouldn't just leave him alone and let him be beaten to death.
After seeing this, it can be seen that women are still soft-hearted, especially young girls.
The strong man paused for a moment, then put the stick back and looked at Feng Jiuyan with displeasure. But Feng Jiuyan still caught the flash of relief in his eyes.
"Girl, what's the matter? Do you want to save this little beggar? Let me be frank with you. If you want to save this kid, you have to compensate me five taels of silver!" The sturdy man looked at Feng Jiuyan with a ferocious look on his face and said in a vicious voice.
"What! Five taels of silver!" The onlookers couldn't help but gasp.
"Boss, how many buns did the little beggar steal from you? How dare you ask for five taels of silver!" A woman couldn't help but raised five fingers and asked in disbelief.
"That's right! Boss, you are too unkind, aren't you? Aren't you trying to kill the little beggar?"
"That's right. Five taels of silver can buy dozens of trays of meat buns! I don't believe that this little beggar stole dozens of your trays of meat buns!"
"That's right! How dare he charge so much money? Does anyone recognize which bun shop this boss is from? We won't buy buns from him anymore."
Everyone shook their heads vigorously, "This boss looks unfamiliar, it seems like we have never seen him before."
Feng Jiuyan still had a faint smile on his face, while Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli had expressions that showed "as expected".
Not only the little beggar has problems, I'm sure the strong man has problems too.
It seems that these two people are performing a duet.
The sturdy man was a little panicked. He glanced at the reactions of Feng Jiuyan's family of three. After seeing that the three of them did not have any strange reactions, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He never expected that the five taels of silver he casually mentioned would be so much in the eyes of the people! If he let the people strip him down any further, his underwear would probably be exposed.
He smiled reluctantly, hit the little beggar's head with the stick in his hand, and said fiercely in a hoarse voice, "Humph, for the sake of everyone, I won't bother with you today."
Turning his head, the sturdy man looked at Feng Jiuyan and said shamelessly, "Girl, since you are so kind-hearted, I will do you a favor for one tael of silver! For only one tael of silver, I will let this little beggar go."
Hearing this, Feng Jiuyan's smile did not diminish. She crossed her arms across her chest and just looked at the little beggar on the ground.
The little beggar's eyes were swollen with tears, and he looked a little pitiful. "Miss, as long as you save my life, I am willing to follow you and work like a slave for you, my wife and your son."
The appearance of the little beggar made many women, who were filled with maternal love, feel pity for him.
"Girl, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please be kind and save this poor child."
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the woman who spoke. It was the same woman who had just incited the crowd.
She said nothing and remained silent.
The women watching also said a few words to Feng Jiuyan.
"Yes, little girl, you should save him. He is so pitiful."
"Look at how pitiful the little beggar is. Please save him. He is willing to work like a slave for you."
......
Feng Jiuyan looked at the sturdy man and opened her pink lips slightly.
The sturdy man stared at Feng Jiuyan nervously. Feng Jiuyan smiled brilliantly, "Yes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." She deliberately stretched out the words.
There was surprise in the little beggar's eyes.
Feng Jiuyan continued, "So, for such a good thing to happen, it must be an ugly woman with a vicious heart who saved him. A beautiful woman with a vicious heart like me usually has a hard heart." She pointed at the woman who was leading the rhythm and inciting the onlookers.
"You! You are ugly!" The woman was very unhappy. No woman likes to be called ugly. She stared at Feng Jiuyan, "When did I say I would save him!"
Feng Jiuyan nodded, smiling, "Yes, you didn't say that. But I have already made it clear that it is impossible to save him. Then why did you deliberately incite the crowd and force me? Do you want to force me to save him? We are an orphan and a widow, and we can't even protect ourselves. Why do you want me to save the little beggar so urgently?"
After saying that, Feng Jiuyan took Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli and left, leaving behind the stunned trio and a group of slow-witted people who had just reacted.
"What! Are you all pretending? Do you want to rely on that girl just now?"
"I never expected that. I was wondering why I had never seen the owner of this bun shop before. So this is who he is!"
"Well, luckily the girl was smart and saw through their trick."
......
The strong man, the woman and the little beggar were dumbfounded. Were they so obvious?
How did she see through the plan of the three of them!
"Pfft," the sturdy man spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the little beggar, "Humph, I won't bother with a little beggar like you! If it happens again, I'll break your dog legs!"
After saying that, the strong man left with a big stick.
Seeing this, the woman came to her senses and cursed the onlookers away with some foul language.
The little beggar struggled to get up from the ground and limped away.
——
Seeing that there was still some time left before the gathering, Feng Jiuyan took her mother and brother into a restaurant that looked relatively high-end.
The waiter, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, walked over quickly and greeted, "Sir, how many people are you?"
"Three!" Feng Jiuli looked up and said crisply to the waiter.
"Okay, sir, please come in." The waiter said with a smile, made a gesture of invitation, took Feng Jiuyan to the lobby, and found a table by the window for them.
The restaurant was packed with people, both the first and second floors were full.
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you came at the right time. This is the only table left. The latecomers will have to wait in a long line."
Hearing this, the officials A and B felt a pang in their hearts. They were planning to pool their money and have a meal at the restaurant. They were almost starving to death!
I had planned everything, but I didn't expect the restaurant to be so crowded that there were no empty tables.
The four officers, A and B, were not discouraged and took a careful look at the restaurant. Just as the waiter had said, there were really no empty tables.
Feng Jiuyan's family, who had already taken their seats, found it somewhat amusing to see Officer A and Officer B standing there with gloomy faces and holding large and small bags like two bodyguards.
The waiter brought over a menu and said, "Sir, here is the menu."
Feng Jiuyan handed the menu to Madam Feng, "Mother, you order."
Mrs. Feng Dafeng did not refuse and read the menu, naming a series of dishes, some of which she liked to eat, and some for her two children.
Soon, the waiter brought the food.
