Chapter 133 Compensation? Why don't you just rob?
Hearing Yao Qingnian say this, the woman's face immediately turned red with anxiety: "What do you care about me!"
"Then may I ask, do you know how much a serving of my chestnuts costs?"
"It's just a few cents, anyone can afford it." The woman said with disdain.
"Before you come to cause trouble, why don't you ask about the prices at Qingnian Food Court? My chestnuts are thirty cents each."
"Thirty cents a copy, are you robbing me?!" Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, the woman quickly covered her mouth.
The two of them were stunned in their place, and looked at each other. Instead of panicking, they showed a look of surprise, secretly complaining, "Thirty cents for a portion of chestnuts? This bitch is too ruthless. How much money does this shop make in a day? If she makes a fortune, she must extort a lot of money."
The woman's eyes rolled around: "The money given by the child's uncle is not enough! Such expensive chestnuts, wuwu... and they still have problems after eating them, they are really evil-minded!"
"That's right. How would we know how much the child cost? Anyway, it's a problem caused by eating chestnuts," the man echoed.
They can come up with such a lame excuse, it's their bad luck.
"Are you sure your child got sick from eating my chestnuts?"
"Of course."
"Then bring the child here quickly. I'll have the doctor take a look at him to see what the problem is. The child's life is at stake."
"What? Do you still want to harm my child? He can't move now. You asked me to bring him here, isn't that going to cost him his life? You just want to shirk responsibility. So many people are watching here. Stop talking so much. Pay the money quickly, or we will smash your stall." When they took this job, they were supposed to overturn the stall, but when these two heard that Yao Qingnian wanted to sell a serving of chestnuts for thirty cents, they changed their minds instantly. This woman is so rich, why should they overturn her stall? The main thing is to get the money.
"You falsely accused my chestnuts of having problems. Now I asked you to bring the child here to see a doctor. How come you're asking for the child's life? It seems like you two don't want to care about the child's life or death?"
"That's right. You've been talking for a long time, but we haven't even seen the child. Even if we want to report it to the police, we have to have evidence."
Wu Yu started to question. He could see that these two people were most likely here to cause trouble and extort money.
"It's none of your business! If you don't compensate us today, we won't leave!" The woman started to act like a rogue on the ground.
"Then let me ask you again in front of everyone, are you sure you ate my chestnuts?"
"Sure!" They both nodded in unison.
"Well, look everyone, here is a pot of freshly fried chestnuts, fresh and steaming. She said there's something wrong with my chestnuts, so I'll eat it right here in front of you!" Yao Qingnian picked up a chestnut, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.
"Maybe you were the one who poisoned him, and you have the antidote!"
"Are you out of your mind? Would I poison the chestnuts and destroy my reputation?"
"Who knows what you are thinking?"
"In that case, I will invite everyone to eat chestnuts for free. I promise that if my chestnuts are poisonous, I will admit it and pay 10,000 taels of silver as compensation. I will take the initiative to go to the government office and will not say a single word!"
Yao Qingnian brought out the pot of freshly fried chestnuts: "Who wants to eat?"
"I come!"
"I'll do it!" Everyone rushed to take the lead. Ten thousand taels was worth it even if they were poisoned to death.
"Okay, all of you, come up." Yao Qingnian pointed at a few people casually.
A few people started eating in front of everyone: "These chestnuts are so delicious. They are fragrant and sweet in the mouth. They are full of sugar and oil. This 30 cents is really worth it."
The onlookers swallowed their saliva and each finished their portion. After more than half an hour, no one was hurt.
Now everyone believed that chestnuts were not poisonous.
"You have no witnesses or evidence, and you don't know the price of my chestnuts, yet you come here to overturn my stall and accuse me of lying. Tell me! Who sent you here?"
The two of them panicked for a moment, but the woman was still stubborn: "Humph, you don't want to admit it now, but we are not vegetarians. Boss, go ahead! Smash her shop and see how this bitch can get away with it."
"Then you can come and try!" Yao Qingnian smiled evilly, weighed the shovel in his hand, and looked at the two of them with sharp eyes.
The woman and the man paused, frightened for a moment, their arrogance gone, their faces pale, looking towards Wang Yan, who had long since disappeared, they managed to say, "Little bitch, we'll let you go today!"
After saying that, he wanted to run away. The onlookers hurriedly blocked the two of them. Yao Qingnian stepped forward and glanced at the two of them: "You delayed me for half a day, came to my shop to cause trouble and affect my business, and you still want to run away?!"
"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's go now. Our children at home are still waiting to see the doctor!" The two men said shamelessly when they saw that the situation was not good.
"Misunderstanding? Then tell me what to do. My shop has lost at least fifty taels in half a day's work."
"Ahem! Do you want us to pay you money? You stinky bitch, let me tell you, we are also gangsters, be careful or I will make sure you can't leave this street."
"Ha! Threatening me? You extort money and intimidate civilians. Who gives you the courage?
Look, across the street is the academy, the students inside are all well-read and are the pillars of the country, how dare you disregard the law and oppress the common people in front of them!"
The people who heard Yao Qingnian's words were filled with passion: "Yes, we can't let them go like this! They must pay compensation and apologize, or they will be sent to the government!"
"In broad daylight, these two evil villains bullied a weak woman like Miss Yao. We must not let them off easily."
The crowd was furious, and the two immediately became cowards, and hurriedly said, "We were greedy for a moment and did such a thing. Please spare us, young lady. We had no choice but to do it. We have elderly parents and children to support. We swear that we will turn over a new leaf when we return and remember your kindness."
"Stop talking nonsense. You've delayed my time for so long. Pay me up!"
"Compensation...how much...?"
"My chestnuts are 30 wen each, not expensive, just a few taels of silver, but everyone knows that my business cannot be delayed. I just went through so much trouble and failed to make any business. For half a day, I have lost at least 50 taels of silver, plus mental damages, etc. Considering that you have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I will give you a discount of 20 taels, not a cent less."
"What! Twenty taels! Why don't you just rob?" He wanted to extort some silver to spend, but ended up getting blackmailed by this little bitch.
"I am a law-abiding citizen, not like some people who do such immoral things. Pay the money, or we will go to the officials and let the county magistrate to judge the case."
