Chapter 23: Teach Her a Lesson
At around four o'clock, Li Yong had to go back to the hotel to do some work, so he left.
In the evening, Li Xu went to the market to ask, hoping to rent a stall. He wanted to sell some fruits in the next few days and make himself known to the crowd.
Unexpectedly, the market here was so popular that all the stalls were full.
The person in charge was also very troubled: "Recently, many people have come to ask, but the stalls are limited after all. This year's ones have been rented out. If you want to come, you can only come early next year to pay."
After hearing the news, Li Xu was in a bad mood after returning home.
Ji Yuanyuan went with him, so she naturally knew what Li Xu was worried about.
"Mom, it's okay. Didn't that uncle say he only wants our food from now on? And my second uncle, their hotel also needs to buy food."
Li Xuqiang pulled himself together and smiled helplessly: "Okay, then when our vegetables are ready, I'll send them to that uncle."
As for Li Yong, Li Xu didn't want to get involved with him.
After all, she also knew that larger hotels all had dedicated purchasing staff.
Li Yong is just a small chef. If he gets involved with purchasing, he might be caught by someone.
He had finally found such a job, and Li Xu didn't want to ruin it because of his own affairs.
At night, Ji Yuanyuan had some insomnia. It was because she received a letter from Qin Mucheng during the day and learned that Qin Mucheng would come to stay for a while during the winter vacation. She didn't know why, but she felt a little excited.
The next morning, I almost didn't get up.
When she got up, it was already past eight in the morning.
Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly pulled Li Xu into the space, picked some peaches, and went to the market.
However, because they got up late today, the mother and daughter were bumped into Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang when they were leaving the house.
Seeing that Li Xu was having a hard time carrying a bamboo basket by herself, Ji Zixuan insisted on going with her.
On the way, with the help of two children, it was indeed much easier.
Still at the same place, Li Xu took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to Ji Zixuan: "Go over there and buy some buns for your sister."
Li Xu cooked in the morning, and the three of them ate. Only Ji Yuanyuan got up late and hadn't eaten yet.
Ji Ziang looked at him eagerly, and Li Xu was a little helpless: "Okay, you can go with me, and I'll buy you some candy with the rest."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziang happily pulled Ji Zixuan's sleeve and ran to the side.
Li Xu shook his head helplessly and reached out to tidy up Ji Yuanyuan's hair.
"Hey, you dare to come here!" Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded.
Li Xu turned his head to look and saw that it was the woman who picked up the money yesterday.
By the way, she is also in this market.
Li Xu's face changed. Thinking that they might have to sell vegetables together in the future, their relationship couldn't be too awkward. So she smiled and took a few peaches: "Sister, it was the child who was ignorant yesterday. Don't be angry. Try our peaches..."
The woman took the peach with a sneer, took a bite and spat it out: "Pah, what kind of rotten peach is this? It tastes so bad, and you dare to sell it?"
He casually threw the peach in his hand at Li Xu's feet and looked at Li Xu with a mean look.
It was this woman and that dead girl who caused her to lose so much money yesterday.
So a stack of at least two or three hundred.
Two or three hundred, that was what she could earn after selling for more than half a month.
If it weren't for these mother and daughter, her child would have had enough money to pay for half a semester's tuition.
After she went back home last night, she became angrier and angrier, and she didn't sleep for half the night. She came over early in the morning to squat, and sure enough, she was squatted.
This woman is really stupid. After doing such a thing, she still dares to come here.
Seeing that this person seemed to be looking for trouble, Ji Yuanyuan took Li Xu's hand and looked at the woman with an innocent expression.
Li Xu hesitated: "Big sister..."
The woman looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a face full of sarcasm and sarcasm: "This little girl, at first glance, is not a blessed one, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks. You have to teach her well, otherwise when she grows up, she might be deceived by some little ruffians or gangsters..."
This woman's words were so harsh that Li Xu's face suddenly darkened.
"Sister, isn't it inappropriate for you to say this about a child?"
The woman spit on the ground in a very vulgar manner: "Bah, I'm just reminding you kindly, if you learn to lie and cheat money at such a young age, what good will you become when you grow up?"
How could Li Xu tolerate this woman insulting Ji Yuanyuan like this? She immediately said, "You picked up other people's money. You are so evil-hearted. My daughter just told the truth. Why are you scolding a child like this?"
Without waiting for the woman to speak, Li Xu continued, "You have such a bad character, I guess you were talking about yourself just now? Picking up money and not returning it is something you have been doing since you were a child, right? You were not cheated at such a young age, and your family is so poor that you can only rely on picking up money to make a living, right?"
It was the first time that Ji Yuanyuan realized that Li Xu's mouth was so powerful.
You know, when they were at the Ji family before, Xu Xiuhua often made indirect accusations, but Li Xu rarely said a word.
The woman's face flushed with anger. She pointed at Li Xu and couldn't say a word: "You..."
It's not even nine o'clock yet, but there are still a lot of people coming to the market to buy vegetables.
Seeing the quarrel going on here, many people gathered around one after another.
The woman was fat, and the fat on her belly was about to burst through her clothes. Relying on her weight advantage, the woman went forward to hit Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan took a look and thought to herself that this was not good.
Given this woman's size, even if there were two Li Xus, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat her.
Seeing that Li Xu was about to suffer, Ji Yuanyuan rushed forward and said, "Don't hit my mother."
She aimed carefully, and when she rushed over, her face just brushed against the woman's hand.
It looked like the woman's slap landed on her face, but it actually didn't hurt much.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Yuanyuan grabbed the woman's belt.
So, when Ji Yuanyuan fell down, the woman's pants also fell to the ground.
The onlookers quickly burst into laughter. The woman was stunned and quickly pulled up her pants.
"Yuanyuan..." Li Xu hurried forward, pushed the woman away, and pulled Ji Yuanyuan up from the ground, "How is it? Does it hurt?"
Ji Yuanyuan quickly squeezed out a few tears and looked at the woman: "Auntie, the money you picked up that day was obviously that uncle's. Why do you say it was your money? I told the uncle that if you want to hit someone, hit me, not my mother, wuwu..."
After saying that, she started crying in grievance.
The woman was now lying on the ground with her bare bottom, completely stunned.
After a moment, her face turned red quickly and she stood up from the ground, pulling up her pants.
"Who is that man to your mother? Why are you so protective of him? Could he be your mother's old lover?" The woman scolded while adjusting her pants. "You are a lowly bastard who was born by a mother but not taught by her. You are so young and don't learn well."
After saying that, she had already tied her belt and rushed forward to hit someone.
Ji Yuanyuan clenched her fists.
In all her years of life, this was the first time she had met someone with such a foul mouth.
If she isn't taught a lesson, does she really think that she and her daughter are easy to bully?
