Chapter 21 Acting Bravely

Li Xu felt a little anxious, seeing that the morning rush hour was almost over.

Generally speaking, after ten o'clock, there will be fewer people coming here.

Then it won't be sold anymore.

Ji Yuanyuan looked around with a thoughtful look on his face.

You can't make much money just by retailing like this.

When conditions permit, it is best to open a supermarket, and the route must be clear.

Some supermarkets focus on cheap prices and make money from ordinary people.

Some supermarkets sell high-quality products and earn money from rich people.

Comparing the two, it is better for rich people to earn more money.

Rich people pursue quality and freshness.

Fortunately, the things grown in her space are of good quality and fresh.

Just when Ji Yuanyuan was thinking wildly, a pile of money fell out of a man's pocket not far away.

From the looks of it, it should cost at least three hundred yuan.

Three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. After the man left, a woman buying vegetables at a stall immediately came forward, picked up the money on the ground like a thief, and put it into her pocket.

Immediately, she sat back in her booth as if nothing had happened.

When Ji Yuanyuan saw this, he frowned and immediately stood up, running all the way to chase the man.

Li Xu didn't react for a moment, but when he did, Ji Yuanyuan had already run dozens of meters away.

"Yuanyuan, come back..." she shouted.

Ji Yuanyuan said, "Mom, just wait here. I'll be back soon."

Li Xu could not rest assured, so he could only pick up the bamboo basket and chase after him.

The man walked slowly, as if he was considering which restaurant to buy. So Ji Yuanyuan, a short-legged man, quickly caught up with him: "Uncle..."

She stood on tiptoe with great effort and grabbed the man's wrist.

The man lowered his head and saw a beautiful little dumpling. He was stunned: "Are you calling me?"

Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Uncle, you lost something."

Not only is he a pretty little dumpling, but he is also a warm and pretty little dumpling.

The man smiled and reached into his pocket: "What did uncle lose? Did you pick it up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's smile froze on his face.

Where is his money? Where is the money used for purchases? It was clearly still in his pocket just now?

Did this little dumpling see him lose money?

The man took a deep breath, knelt down and asked, "Kid, tell your uncle if the money he lost is with you?"

Ji Yuanyuan stretched out his hand, pointed at the woman picking up the money and said, "Uncle, I saw her picking up your money."

The man looked over and saw that the woman had an erratic look on her face, as if she had a guilty conscience.

He stood up, picked up Ji Yuanyuan and walked over there.

Ji Yuanyuan has now become very accustomed to this feeling of having his feet off the ground.

So, the moment she was picked up by the man, she reached out and hugged the man's neck.

Well, this person must be a chef, and he smells very heavy of oil smoke.

The man hugged Ji Yuanyuan and quickly met Li Xu. She struggled to carry the bamboo basket and said anxiously: "Put down my daughter, what are you going to do..."

Only then did the man realize that this little dumpling had actually come here on his own.

He said with some embarrassment: "Sister, your daughter said she saw someone picking up my money, and I want to take her to ask."

Ji Yuanyuan also nodded quickly: "Mom, I really saw it. It was that aunt who picked up this uncle's money."

Li Xu was a little hesitant. She didn't want her daughter to get involved in these things.

But the matter has come to this, and we can only let it pass.

"Sister, did you pick up my money just now?" The man's attitude was very firm and he asked when he came up.

Naturally, there is no need to give a good attitude to such people.

She clearly saw the origin of the money just now, but she still chose to put the money into her pocket.

The woman's eyes were wandering, but her aura was very strong: "I didn't pick up the money, who saw me picking up the money? You must have evidence when you speak."

"I saw it. Auntie, you just ran here and picked up the money." Ji Yuanyuan pointed to the middle of the road and replied very forcefully.

"If you don't hand over the money, I will call the police." The man answered in time.

The look on the woman's face became even more panicked, but she still said stubbornly: "How can you take what a child says seriously? Besides, who knows if she is your daughter, and the two of you are working together to cheat me out of my money?

"

The man didn't expect the woman to be so harsh, so he immediately said: "There's nothing to say, just call the police."

There are police booths near large vegetable markets like this.

The man looked at Li Xu: "Sister, please go to the police box and call the police for me. I'll watch her here."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. She put the bamboo basket at the man's feet, "Please help me take a look."

Of course, she didn't forget to take Ji Yuanyuan with her: "Yuanyuan, follow me to find the police uncle."

She could enthusiastically help this person call the police, but she could not let her daughter out of her sight.

However, before the man had time to return Ji Yuanyuan to Li Xu, the woman at the vegetable stall cursed and said: "Forget it, just treat me as unlucky today and spend money to eliminate the disaster, right?"

While talking, she threw a wad of money over.

The man took a closer look and saw that it was his own pile of money.

He counted and found that there was not a penny missing.

The woman looked at his actions with a look of reluctance and guilt.

After finding the money, the man doesn't care if the woman has a word or two about her.

"Sister, I really want to thank you mother and daughter for today." The man hugged Ji Yuanyuan and sent them back to the place where the stall was set up. He put Ji Yuanyuan down, took out a few cards from the wad of money, and put them away.

When he came to Li Xu, he said, "I don't have much money, so I'll just buy some candy for my child with the money."

Naturally, Li Xu couldn't take it, and quickly declined: "You're too polite, we can't take the money."

After the two of them declined, Ji Yuanyuan looked helpless.

Is it like the situation when relatives give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?

Finally, when the man saw that Li Xu was determined not to accept it, and happened to see the peach on the ground, he turned to ask, "Sister, how did you sell the peach?"

Li Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give you six cents."

She thought, since they were so polite just now, she couldn't ask for more.

The man immediately said: "Then you weigh how many kilograms there are here, I want them all."

"It's all..." Li Xu's eyes widened, "It's at least thirty kilograms!"

The man smiled and said, "I work in the cafeteria of my workplace. There are many people in my workplace, so these peaches are not enough for them to eat for a day."

Li Xu hesitated for a moment, then took the scale, which was exactly thirty-five pounds.

"You can give me twenty yuan," Li Xu said politely.

But the man directly gave him twenty-five yuan: "Okay, sister, there's no need to look for it."

There was a cut piece inside, and the man took a bite of it.

Then his eyes widened: "Sister, your peach is quite sweet."

Li Xu smiled shyly: "I grew it at home."

"Do you have any others at home?" the man asked again.

"Yes, there are some vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc." Li Xu said quickly.

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, sister, please leave your phone number. From now on, when I buy groceries, I will only buy from you."
