Jin Suting walked up to the old woman with her arms folded over her chest. Her face was a little dirty from the charcoal fire, but her eyes were bright and clear.
"Old lady, if you have any questions, you can come to our barbecue stall in person to resolve them. If there is a problem with our food, we will definitely compensate you, but please do not slander us without verification."
Every word she said was powerful, and more people came to watch. When the old woman heard her speak like this, two tears squeezed out of her cloudy eyes. She went up and knelt at Jin Suting's feet, pulling her skirt, which stunned Jin Suting. The old woman pulled Jin Suting's skirt with one hand and opened her sleeve with the other hand. There were red spots on her sleeve, which looked like symptoms of allergies.
The old woman said, "Girl, look, these red spots on me are caused by eating the food from your house. I know you must have been desperate to do this dirty thing. It doesn't matter if I, an old woman, have problems after eating it, but you can't let those young people be harmed by these unclean things of yours. I am just kindly reminding the young people, why do you, why do you speak like that..."
"..." Jin Suting didn't know what to say for a moment. She came up and hit her dead with a stick, insisting that there was something wrong with her things. "Old lady, please stand up and talk first."
She reached out to help the kneeling old woman, but the old woman seemed unable to stand up and stuck to Jin Suting's feet, and could not be pulled away.
More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and gradually formed a circle, surrounding Jin Suting and the old woman in the middle. A few people who couldn't stand it and thought they were righteous stood up to speak up for the old woman, and some of their voices were particularly harsh.
"This is a black-hearted businessman."
"She looks pretty good, but I didn't expect to get sick after eating her food."
"Don't buy anything from her store anymore. The red spots look scary."
“…”
Jin Suting felt particularly helpless standing in the crowd. Those red spots were caused by allergies and were not caused by the barbecue she bought.
But how could she explain that this was an allergic symptom.
Qin'er had just gone to the toilet, and when she came back she found that there was no one at the barbecue stall. There was a big circle in front of it. She squeezed in with great effort and saw her young lady surrounded in the middle.
"Miss, what's going on?"
Jin Suting looked up at Qin'er with a helpless expression, and glanced at the old woman who was still crying loudly.
Qin Er immediately understood what she meant. Someone was causing trouble. She said, "Listen to me, everyone. I guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no problem with our barbecue!"
"You say we should believe you? Who knows if what you say is true or not?"
"The old lady has become like this, is it still fake?"
There were more and more voices like these, making it hard for them to breathe.
Are all the things she has worked so hard for these days going to be destroyed?
no.
She pushed through the crowd and walked straight to her barbecue stall, picked up a skewer of barbecue, and ate the whole thing in one bite. The onlookers were stunned and waited for a long time for her to swallow it.
Jin Suting wiped the oil from her mouth and said, "I've been selling barbecue here for a few days now, and the only person who's had problems with my barbecue is this old lady. I've tried it myself, and there's no problem with our barbecue."
"This old woman's symptoms are clearly allergic. I don't know how to explain them to you, but any doctor can tell. The problem isn't with my barbecue. I'll give this woman thirty taels as compensation for her medical expenses. I hope everyone can enjoy the most delicious and hygienic food at our barbecue stall in the future. I'm sorry for taking up your time!"
After saying this, she bowed deeply, then took out all the money from the cashier's box, and took some more from her own purse, making a total of thirty taels.
He walked up and handed it to the old woman.
Everyone was silent, as if they couldn't believe what Jin Suting had done.
Even Qin'er widened his eyes. Thirty taels, that was their income for several days!
The old woman took the silver, not knowing what to say. Jin Suting said, "If anyone eats our food and finds it faulty, I will compensate them. But if anyone fabricates rumors for my compensation, even going so far as to injure himself to defraud these tens of taels of silver, I, Jin Suting, don't mind accompanying him to the government office, and I will continue to fight him."
Even the dullest person could hear that the last sentence was a warning.
The old woman seemed a little flustered. After taking the silver from Jin Suting, she stopped making a fuss, got up from the ground, and ran away without even picking up the bags of medicinal herbs that fell on the ground.
After everyone had left, Qin Er asked Jin Suting in confusion, "Miss, that was all our profits from the past few days. How could you just give it all to that old woman?"
Jin Suting lowered her eyes and said, "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. I didn't consider this aspect enough. In that situation, I only had that one solution."
Tan Er said, "Miss, I don't blame you, I just think it's not worth it. Thirty taels are gone just like that. That old woman is obviously looking for trouble!"
Jin Suting said, "I know that too, but if I tell her rashly, it will only alert the person who ordered her."
Tan Er said, "Who could be so bored so late at night that they would do such shameful things?"
Jin Suting shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It could be our competitor. Our business has been really booming these days."
