The man's smiling face changed. He stared at me with eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat me.
"You guys just spent ages picking and choosing here, wasting my time, and now you just leave like that? How can it be that easy?"
Cheng Mingyue was so angry that she laughed, "So what do you want?"
"Give me the money. Three dollars for the wooden barrel and two dollars for the wooden basin, a total of seven dollars!" The man confidently extended his right hand towards Cheng Mingyue.
"If you say three dollars, it's three dollars. If you say two dollars, it's two dollars. If we think it's too expensive, can we just not buy it?"
Wang Guihua was also angry at this time.
Just now she was a little embarrassed and felt a little too ashamed to leave, but now after hearing the man's unreasonable words, she didn't want to buy anything from him at all.
The man stretched out his arms and stood in front of Cheng Mingyue and the others, his tone arrogant and domineering:
"This thing of mine is only worth this price. You've kept me waiting for so long, you can't just leave without buying it!"
Cheng Mingyue wanted to crush him with one punch, but thinking that there were too many people around, she held back her fist.
Just when Cheng Mingyue was feeling extremely depressed, her eyes suddenly lit up and she called out to someone not far away: "Officer Li!"
The person Cheng Mingyue called was Li Yunsheng, who was sent to maintain order this time.
He was the leading police officer of the police station when Cheng Mingyue helped catch human traffickers in the town last time.
Li Yunsheng heard someone calling him and looked over here. He saw a girl with bright eyes, white teeth and a very pretty appearance. He didn't seem to know her, but after looking carefully, he recognized Cheng Mingyue and immediately ran over here.
Li Yunsheng laughed and said, "Comrade Cheng, you've really changed so much that I didn't even recognize you at first!"
After saying that, she glanced at the big man blocking her way, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she asked Cheng Mingyue: "What's going on?"
Cheng Mingyue recounted the entire incident in detail.
Li Yunsheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The higher-ups were afraid something like this would happen, so they sent a few police officers here to maintain order. They didn't expect that some people would disobey the rules just as the market started.
He shouted to several policemen not far away: "Lao Zhang, Lao Li, come here!"
Two policemen came over when they heard the noise. Li Yunsheng said in a deep voice, "Take him aside and give him a good lesson."
After that, he took Cheng Mingyue to a less crowded place and asked, "What do you think about the thing I mentioned last time?"
Cheng Mingyue was stunned at first, then she remembered that Li Yunsheng had said before that he would recommend her to join the army. She shook her head like a rattle.
"I have no plans to join the army for now. I want to continue to go to college."
Li Yunsheng felt sorry for Cheng Mingyue. Now that he heard that she was going to college, he thought she was going to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, so he didn't say anything.
In fact, he didn't have a very good impression of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. He felt that the people going to university nowadays were a mixed bunch, and there were relatively few people with real ability. Most of them got in through connections.
But given his status, he couldn't say such words out loud.
Cheng Mingyue stared at Li Yunsheng for several times, and suddenly asked:
"Officer Li, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local!"
Li Yunsheng smiled and asked instead of answering:
"Is it so obvious? Why do so many people ask me the same question?"
"Of course. Your Mandarin is so standard, and you have such an aura that you can't find in a small place like ours."
Cheng Mingyue didn't hesitate and just said it with a smile.
Li Yunsheng: "..."
His standard Mandarin was so good that it exposed his identity.
Li Yunsheng met Cheng Mingyue's smiling eyes and said:
"My family is from Beijing."
"You are from Beijing, you are actually from Beijing!" Cheng Mingyue muttered to herself.
Li Yunsheng only thought that Cheng Mingyue was surprised by his identity as a Beijing native, but he didn't know that Cheng Mingyue was thinking about something else.
There is a male supporting character in the book named Li Yunsheng.
His family was a prominent family in Beijing. Because he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for him, he came to Xiangyang Town, a poor and remote place, alone out of spite.
It was here that he met the love of his life - the heroine Lu Yao.
After that, Li Yunsheng seemed to be under a spell. He gave Lu Yao money and resources, opened many red lights for her along the way, and even agreed to marry the girl arranged for him by his family for Lu Yao.
In short, he licked it for his entire life, and even when he died on a mission, he was still holding a heart-shaped leaf that Lu Yao had given him.
He never knew until his death that the leaf was just something Lu Yao picked up on the roadside, but he always treasured it.
Li Yunsheng's life of bootlicking is so ridiculous that it makes people feel distressed!
Cheng Mingyue looked at the righteous Li Yunsheng and could not associate him with the bootlicker in the book.
Perhaps Cheng Mingyue's gaze was too intense, Li Yunsheng finally noticed something was wrong. He frowned and asked:
"Comrade Cheng seems very interested in my identity?"
Cheng Mingyue straightened her expression and said nonsense:
"I just admire Officer Li's integrity and his willingness to come to our poor place."
Li Yunsheng met Cheng Mingyue's admiring gaze and was too embarrassed to say that he had come here to escape his marriage. He lied and said, "We are all serving the people. It's the same there."
If Cheng Mingyue didn't know the plot of the book, she would really be scared by Li Yunsheng's words.
But no matter what reason Li Yunsheng came here, it had nothing to do with her.
