Chapter 120 Incident
Chapter 120 Incident
She accepted Jiang Qibin's money, but Song Ruize's money felt a bit hot to the touch.
"Give it back to him. I didn't bring him food to sell it to him. If he does this again, I won't come here again."
"Sister, please don't embarrass me. Your brother didn't mean that. He just wants you to keep it for him. You know, there are so many people in there, and it's not convenient for us to keep so much money with us. I have to ask someone to take the rest of my money home, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"Really?" Qin Huiyin was skeptical.
"Really? I'm just asking you to keep it safe." Jiang Qibin promised. "Sister, your brother isn't back yet, and the situation is strict inside, so I won't invite you in."
"Take the things in." Qin Huiyin handed the basket to him.
"Wow, so much sauce, and such a big jar, we are in for a treat." Jiang Qibin took it eagerly. "Thank you, sister, you are such a kind fairy."
Qin Huiyin laughed: "You still have to build relationships. You are better at dealing with people than my brother. Sometimes you should give him some advice. Don't be stingy when it comes to building good relationships."
"Well..."
Qin Huiyin sat back in the ox cart, waved to Jiang Qibin, and left the dam entrance.
Jiang Qibin didn't turn around and leave until Qin Huiyin was out of sight. He said to the yamen runner who had just reported the news, "Brother, thank you so much for what you did. Pick one and share it with the brothers. This girl is such a good cook. When she eats, she can even eat a few more buns with just a spoonful."
The yamen runner took one without hesitation and became even more friendly towards Jiang Qibin. Of course, they had agreed to share the food with their brothers, and the other yamen runners also looked at Jiang Qibin in a friendly manner.
Jiang Qibin came in carrying six cans and yelled to Chen Yong as soon as he entered the door: "Big guy, come over and take them! These are really heavy!"
Chen Yong strode over and took the basket from Jiang Qibin. The basket that Jiang Qibin had been carrying with such difficulty was like a chicken in his hands.
Song Ruize looked at Jiang Qibin: "What did she say?"
"She didn't say anything. She just came to deliver something. When she asked why you didn't come, I gave her the same excuse as you said and even gave her the money. At first she refused and got angry, saying that I wasn't giving you something to sell to you and that if that was the case, she wouldn't come again. So I said your brother was keeping it for you. After all, there were too many people inside and if you weren't careful, you wouldn't know where the money would go. I would have someone hand over my money to my family in a few days. Only then did she accept."
"Brother Ze is right. From now on, this kind of thing of telling lies with open eyes will be left to you. No one else can do it except you." Jiang Qingnan said admiringly.
"That's my skill." Jiang Qibin wasn't ashamed of it, but rather proud of it. "But this girl is really smart and sensitive. She still has some suspicions that something's happened to Brother Ze. If I hadn't been so tight-lipped, she wouldn't have left without worry. She also said that I'm better at dealing with people than you, and if there's anything you need, I'll help you with it."
Song Ruize said calmly, "Yang Baotou should be back soon. Take two cans with you, one for Yang Baotou and one for Brother Xiang."
Qin Huiyin hurried back to the stall, and before she got close, she heard a lot of noise there. Many people gathered there, and Li Taohua's sharp voice came from inside.
"Oh no, something happened." Master Tang San stopped the ox cart.
Qin Huiyin jumped off the ox cart, rushed towards the stall at a very fast speed, and squeezed in through the crowd: "Please make way, my family is inside."
The cart was smashed, and the food was scattered all over the floor. Li Taohua's beautiful dress was covered in stains, and her beautiful makeup was smudged, leaving her hair and face disheveled.
A few thugs were still smashing the chairs and stools in her house. Tang Dafu tried to stop them, but they pushed him away and threw him to the ground.
Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were held captive by a few ruffians. They struggled, but how could two skinny kids be a match for a few sturdy men?
Qin Huiyin was furious. She rushed over and stood in front of Li Taohua, saying angrily, "Who are you? This is the county town. Do you still have any respect for the law?"
"Someone died from eating your food. I suspect you put poison in the food. Since it's something that can harm people, you should destroy it. Brothers, isn't that right?"
"Smash it, we must smash it." The other men echoed.
"You said our food killed people. Where's the evidence? Where are the dead people? We've never seen you before. I'm afraid you haven't even eaten our food, right?"
"If I say you guys killed people, then you killed people." The big man looked at her smugly, as if to say, "I framed you, what can you do to me?"
"Everyone, these people smashed our stall and injured our family members. They are breaking the law and should be handed over to the authorities. I am willing to pay fifty coins to each person who stays here to help us catch these people. Anyone who is willing to testify for our family will receive ten coins. I hope you can help us."
"Catch them and bring them to justice."
"Yes, I'm a regular customer. From the first time they set up their stall until now, I've bought from them every time. Nothing has happened to me. They're clearly wronging me."
A big reward always brings a brave man. Those ruffians are just idle thugs. They rely on their size and strength to look intimidating and easily deal with ordinary people, so they rely on extortion to make a living. In the past, when they encountered those who were easy targets, they usually gave them a sum of money to settle the matter, but this time, they hit a wall.
The ruffians sensed something was amiss; the civilians who had just been watching actually attacked them. In no time, without Qin Huiyin having to do anything, the eight ruffians were tied up.
"Mom, are you okay?" Qin Huiyin supported Li Taohua.
Li Taohua said aggrievedly: "My daughter, they took advantage of me and touched me."
Qin Huiyin picked up the stool next to her, walked over angrily, and said to the onlookers, "Get out of the way."
The onlookers heard something wrong, looked back, were startled, and quickly made way.
Qin Huiyin pointed at those people and asked Li Taohua, "Who touched you?"
Li Taohua could have endured it, but at this moment when someone supported her, all her grievances were magnified.
She pointed at the leading scoundrel and cursed, "That's the bastard."
Qin Huiyin looked at the rogue coldly: "Which hand of yours touched my mother?"
The rogue looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than him. His eyes were as sharp as knives, and his whole body was bursting with the aura of a volcanic eruption.
He knew he shouldn't back down at this moment. His brothers were watching. If he backed down, how would he survive in the future? There were so many people around him. If he backed down, who would be afraid of him?
But now, he felt a chill on his back and his heart was trembling.
He really got scared.
"If I can't explain it, then both of my hands should be crippled." Qin Huiyin's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
She lifted the stool and smashed it towards his right hand.
"Stop..." a majestic voice sounded.
