She paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I have this fierce reputation!"
The moment this topic came up, the distance between them immediately lessened considerably, as if they were back to when they worked together. Tang Hongying, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but she also smiled. However, when she met the inquiring gazes of the new educated youth, her smile softened, and she quietly reminded Wang Hongmei...
"Let's hurry up and get back to the car as soon as possible, so that we don't run into any more trouble later."
Wang Hongmei glanced back, her eyes showing impatience, though it wasn't very obvious on her face; her voice rose slightly.
"Take your things with you. There's a state-run restaurant up ahead. It might be a bit rushed to eat now, but you can still buy some dry food or steamed buns if you need anything. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the state-run restaurant."
Jian Dan watched without saying a word, then whispered a few words to Tang Hongying. Who knew that in such a short time, a fight would break out.
"Mine, mine!"
This is the domineering little brat, with Qin Heng's voice adding his support.
Then came a woman's voice, somewhat shrill and a little spoiled.
"Kids, do you even have the money to buy this? And you, saleswoman, don't you even check if you can afford it before buying? So much food, and these kids are just grabbing it and running off. Can you catch them?"
The county supply and marketing cooperative was quite large, and with so many people around, it was noisy. Some people did turn their suspicious gazes to the children, but the little one being held was fair-skinned, chubby, and clearly didn't lack good things.
The children were dressed cleanly without patches. Although they weren't as fat as the little one, they were clearly not starving.
Most importantly, even if there is a disagreement between the two sides, the children's eyes are clear and bright. As long as they are not blind and delusional, they will not suspect them.
Simple was separated from Qin Jing and the little one by a few people and children. She saw this and wanted to go out and help, but then she stopped and watched carefully as the children quickly surrounded Qin Jing and the little one, spreading their protective thorns outwards.
"We won't refuse to pay,"
"That's right, we're here to buy things."
"You're not allowed to insult us! You can't win by fighting back, so you resort to mudslinging. How despicable!"
The female educated youth opposite her had her face tilted back, her nostrils pointing to the sky.
"Hmph! Don't you know how old you are? Don't tell me your parents will give you money to squander. Ask around, whose child is spoiled like this? You're really putting this little brat on a pedestal. Hmph!"
Some people had already nodded in agreement, after all, given the current economic level, people are careful with their meager salaries of just a few dozen yuan, and when it comes to giving pocket money to their children, they would only give them three or five cents at most. It's rare to see a family with several children being so generous.
But that last sentence angered some people.
"No, what's wrong with the girl? Can't the girl eat?"
"Yes, we only have one daughter, and she's our precious darling. She looks so fair and clean, but why can't she speak properly?"
Qin Heng was already unhappy, clenching his fists slightly and standing with his hands on his hips, puffing out his cheeks in annoyance.
"You're a bad person! You're a bad person! My sister is a good sister, she's not a little brat!"
Taking advantage of his small size, he charged straight ahead like a small cannonball. The female educated youth cried out in pain, bending over and clutching her stomach.
"You, you're bullying me!"
"You're bullying me! You, you're an adult bullying a child!"
Xiao Heng's face turned red with anger.
"You started this bullying. We're just buying our own things. My third aunt even told us to buy a few more of our favorite foods. What does that have to do with you?"
My sister hasn't even been to the fields, nor has she touched you. Why are you calling her a little girl?
The child didn't understand much, but he had heard some old ladies scolding people and knew that "this little brat" wasn't a nice thing to say.
"My sister is the best sister, she's not a little brat. Grandma said that people who curse like that are bad people!"
You're a bad person!
I want to go, I want to go!
A thought suddenly struck me: the police officers who come for lunch...
"I'm going to the police station to have the officers arrest you!"
The surrounding crowd...
The salesperson watching the commotion...
The educated youth...
Simple......
Even Qin Jing looked down at his youngest brother, thinking, "This kid is something else!"
There's really no need for that. Although children's words shouldn't be taken seriously, that big flag was too frightening. The female educated youth was also startled, clutching her stomach, and quietly asked her companion...
"What heinous thing have I done? All I did was say a few words because I couldn't stand their extravagant spending, and now I'm going to the police station?"
As a newcomer, she was genuinely taken aback. Could it be that the rules here are really that special?
Your companion smirked. Whatever the reason, it was your rudeness that caused this.
The supply and marketing cooperative was unusually quiet for a moment.
Qin Jing glanced around, handed the little boy to Qin Shao, and pulled out a wad of banknotes from his pocket.
"Auntie, could you please get us two more big bags of those old-fashioned breads and two boxes of Golden Rooster biscuits? And could you please calculate how much these things cost and what kind of coupons we need?"
"Little sister, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
The little one was completely unaffected and, without any hesitation, pointed to the shelf against the wall.
"Brother, canned food, I want to eat canned food."
To prove it was true, he even slurped his saliva several times.
