Su Chengyi asked Ruyi kindly, but he didn't expect that this time Ruyi had no intention of being polite to him. She turned around and nodded frantically at Su Chengyi.
"I want to eat it, I want to eat it. I really want to eat this candied haws."
Ruyi looked at Su Chengyi with stars in her eyes. She was telling Su Chengyi that as long as Su Chengyi bought her a string of candied haws, her biggest wish would be fulfilled.
The corners of Su Chengyi's mouth twitched, and he didn't respond to Ruyi, but walked straight towards the middle-aged man selling candied haws.
"Give me a string of candied haws."
Su Chengyi took out the copper plate and handed it to the middle-aged man, which instantly made the middle-aged man laugh.
"Okay, sir, I'll get you a big one."
?Just when the middle-aged man handed the candied haws to Su Chengyi, it was intercepted by Ruyi.
?She snatched the string of candied haws from the middle-aged man's hand, which instantly made the middle-aged man jump in anxiety.
"What's wrong with you, little girl? This string of candied haws was bought by this young master. Where did you come from, you little beggar? Hurry and return the candied haws to this young master. Go back to where you came from!"
?This middle-aged uncle makes a living by selling candied haws. His daily income is meager, so he always seems extremely excited when he can sell his candied haws.
?Now that Su Chengyi has paid, the string of candied haws in his hand was originally intended to be handed to Su Chengyi.
?Suddenly it was snatched away by Ruyi. He thought Ruyi was a beggar in the city who saw someone paying for the candied haws and so tried to snatch it away.
?But these days, there are not many beggars who dare to steal food as blatantly as she does.
?The county magistrate here is a recent arrival, and his methods of governance are quite powerful.
?The town has changed from its previous dirty and messy state and is developing in a better direction. There are even fewer beggars in the town than before.
So the middle-aged uncle who was selling candied haws never thought that at that moment, someone would dare to snatch the candied haws from his hand in broad daylight.
?So he immediately concluded in his mind that Ruyi, who came to steal his candied haws, must be a beggar who had just come to the city and did not know the rules here, so he came to steal so blatantly.
Ruyi, who had grabbed the candied haws, stopped dead in her tracks upon hearing the middle-aged man's words. Then, holding the candied haws, she mechanically turned around.
"Little beggar? Uncle, are you talking about me?"
Ruyi pointed to her face and asked the middle-aged man selling candied haws directly.
?The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ruyi didn't continue running. Then he frowned and nodded heavily at Ruyi.
"Who are you talking about? You were the one who just stole the candied haws I was selling to this young man. Do you have the guts to do it but not the guts to let others talk about it?"
?As he said that, the middle-aged man was about to grab the candied haws from Ruyi's hand.
?But just as he raised his hand and stretched it towards Ruyi, Ruyi dodged it before it touched Ruyi's body.
?After hiding aside, Ruyi patted his chest and said that he had moved too much just now. Fortunately, the candied haws in his hand did not fall to the ground.
Then, she turned around and said to the middle-aged man, "Why do you say I stole this candied haws? I clearly bought it."
?She had seen with her own eyes that Su Chengyi had already paid the money, so she shouldn't take it for granted that the string of candied haws in his hand was bought by them.
?However, the middle-aged man did not know the relationship between them. He only knew that the candied haws were paid for by Su Chengyi, so the candied haws must be handed over to Su Chengyi.
?And now, the candied haws was snatched away by the little girl Ruyi. If he didn’t get the candied haws back, he would lose money today.
?So when he saw Ruyi curling her lips at him and opening her mouth to bite the candied haws, he immediately became anxious.
?Then the middle-aged man leaned the other candied haws in his hand against the wall, and then pounced on Ruyi.
"I heard you stole this young master's candied haws, but not only do you deny it, you're now using your mouth to get it."
Seeing Ruyi almost biting into the candied haws, he became even more anxious. The figure rushing towards Ruyi was also accelerating at a rapid speed.
?At this moment, Ruyi was about to open her mouth to bite the candied haws in her hand, but suddenly she felt a strong wind coming towards her.
When she raised her head again, she saw that the middle-aged man was still rushing towards her at a rapid speed, apparently wanting to snatch the candied haws from her hand.
Although Ruyi subconsciously wanted to dodge, the middle-aged man rushed over too fast. For a moment, Ruyi cried out in her heart that she could not dodge.
Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to accept the critical hit from the middle-aged man, after waiting for a moment, the expected pain did not appear on her body.
Instead, the voice of the middle-aged man rang in my ears.
"Ouch, my arm! Who was it? Who hit my arm?"
?Hearing his voice, Ruyi felt very strange, and then she mustered up the courage to open her eyes.
But he saw Su Chengyi holding the uncle selling candied haws with a grim face.
After the uncle stopped rushing towards Ruyi, Su Chengyi raised his hand to the side, and the uncle was pushed to the side by his force until he hit the corner of the wall and stopped.
?Until then, the uncle endured the stinging pain in his body and turned his head to look at the place where he had just stood. Then he found that the person who pushed him to the corner was Su Chengyi who bought him the candied haws.
At this time, Su Chengyi was angry because the middle-aged man was about to attack Ruyi, but the middle-aged man mistakenly thought that his candied haws were stolen, which was why he was so angry.
?Thinking of this, the uncle didn’t care about the pain in his body and quickly put on a smile towards Su Chengyi.
"Sir, I'm really sorry that your candied haws were snatched away by this little beggar. I, I'll get you a new one right away." The middle-aged uncle kept apologizing to Su Chengyi, but he didn't expect that the word "beggar" he mentioned was the source of Su Chengyi's anger.
?Seeing that Su Chengyi's face was getting uglier and uglier, the middle-aged man selling candied haws endured the pain in his body, picked two more strings from his bunch of candied haws, and handed them to Su Chengyi.
