PFC Chapter 272
Chapter 272
The aunt took a few steps forward in fear, then her legs went weak and she knelt down.
Another auntie who said Jiang Xiaobao was still young and ignorant also felt weak in the knees when she saw her like this. She was supported by an old lady beside her so that she did not have to kneel down too.
The county magistrate thought that he had frightened her with his authority, so he smiled and asked her to get up.
The aunt tried very hard to stand up but her legs were too weak and she was scared.
If he couldn't get up, forget it. The county magistrate didn't force him. He pointed at Jiang Xiaobao and said, "Suppose this child killed your four-year-old daughter and buried the body, and then your son was sold by his father. A few years later, you learned that your daughter and son were killed by them. You wanted to report to the police, but that night your whole family of six was killed by the people they sent. In this case, should this child be killed?"
The aunt subconsciously said, "He deserves to be killed."
Anyone who dares to treat her family like this must die!
But she soon remembered that she had just said that the child was still young and could be given another chance.
Obviously, the incident didn't happen to him so he could talk without any pain in his waist. But when the knife stabbed him, he would cry out in pain.
She looked a little embarrassed. If she were to say those words again now, she would probably want to find a hole to crawl into.
Zhong Ruyi had seen enough. She felt that if she continued to watch, these people would inevitably die. She might as well go back to the store to rest. She reached out and pulled Chen Dongzhi's sleeve, "Shall we go? I'm a little tired of standing."
She had been standing on a high stool, with a wider field of vision than others, but she did not dare to move around for fear of losing her balance and falling.
Chen Dongzhi nodded, helped her down and put the stool back to its original place, and the two went back hand in hand.
They didn't go towards the store, but walked towards the market.
Because the government is trying Jiang Jie, Lin Zai and others today, there are fewer people on the streets, but there are still many people setting up stalls.
After walking around, Zhong Ruyi didn't see anyone she was interested in. She gently touched Chen Dongzhi with the back of her hand and turned to look at him, "Are we going back?"
Chen Dongzhi looked at the stall in front. The vendor was the foreigner who sold chili peppers before.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, the vendor waved at them enthusiastically, "Sir, would you like to come and take a look?"
Seeing that he was interested, Zhong Ruyi pulled him over.
The stall was filled with all kinds of hairpins, hairbands and small round boxes.
"If you like any of the products, you can take a look at them or try them." The vendor was very enthusiastic and smiled as he opened a box to show them.
Zhong Ruyi took it. Inside the box was some sticky paste. It smelled quite fragrant when she got close to it.
"What is this? Is it for wiping your face?"
The vendor smiled and said, "This is pearl cream from foreign countries. It is best used by women to wipe their faces and hands. Apply some before going to bed at night and after getting up in the morning, and your skin will become smooth and delicate. It is very popular in the capital."
It can be used to wipe the face and hands. Zhong Ruyi thought about her mother, her three sisters-in-law, Sun Tao, and Jiang Rong who often do housework. It would be nice if she could buy some to take back home. "How much is this box? If it's too expensive, I don't want it."
The vendor knew she wanted to buy it, so he didn't dare to ask for too high a price. "This box is 100 coins. If you want more, I'll give you 90 coins a box."
Zhong Ruyi's eyes widened. "You want a hundred coins for a box of something as small as a booger?"
She put down the small box in her hand, not wanting it anymore, and pulled Chen Dongzhi to leave.
The vendor was choked and stretched out his hand to stop the two people, but was frightened by Chen Dongzhi's eyes and stretched his hand back awkwardly, "The price can still be negotiated, sir, don't leave in a hurry."
Chen Dongzhi looked at Zhong Ruyi, and from the expression on her face he knew she was doing it on purpose, so he didn't rush to leave. He slowed down his pace to see what price the vendor would give.
really.
The vendor said, "Sir, how about this? If you want ten boxes, I'll give you sixty coins a box. How about that? Is that the lowest price?"
Zhong Ruyi stopped and turned around and said, "Fifty cents! I'll give you twenty boxes for fifty cents!"
"Okay! Deal!" the vendor agreed readily.
Now Zhong Ruyi knew that he had asked for a high price. He should have said forty cents. The vendor must have made a profit since he agreed to this price so readily.
But there's no point in regretting it. I've already promised them, and I won't go back on my word.
Zhong Ruyi lost this round!
While waiting for the vendor to pack up, Zhong Ruyi also picked out a few headbands to give to Cuicui, Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun.
The money was given by Chen Dongzhi. He asked Zhong Ruyi, "Is there anything else you want to buy? Take it all together."
Zhong Ruyi looked around and saw nothing she wanted, so she shook her head.
On the way back, they happened to meet Sun Tao and her three children who had just returned from watching the fun. Sun Tao was gesturing something as she walked, and the three children beside her nodded.
She stepped forward and patted Sun Tao on the shoulder, "What are you talking about? You sound so happy?"
Jiang Qin looked excited, "Boss, why didn't we see you and Brother Chen just now?"
Zhong Ruyi waved her hands helplessly, "When I got there, you were already in front, so I didn't call you."
Sun Tao came over and smiled smugly, "That Jiang Jie finally got his comeuppance. And that Jiang Xiaobao, when we were still in Jiangjia Village, he always made advances towards Xiaoyun and even beat Xiaoqin several times!"
The people who are happiest about the father and son being sanctioned this time are those who have been bullied.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "He is really bad. Every time I go to wash clothes, he likes to follow me and touch me when I am not paying attention. If I scold him, he will say that beating is love and scolding is love. He only does this because I like him, so he touches me because he likes me."
Her expression was one of disgust, and it was obvious that she was terribly sick.
Those who had been bullied in Jiangjia Village heard that the government office was going to try Jiang Jie and others today, so they rushed over to listen.
There are many elderly people among them.
Sun Tao put his arm around Zhong Ruyi's and they walked while talking.
Chen Dongzhi was left alone, carrying his things and was pushed away by Sun Tao. He was not angry, but just followed her silently.
"Jiang Xiaobao is already useless. He once threw the walking stick of an 80-year-old man in the village into the river, causing the old man to fall and almost die. The old man's family came to the door to ask for an explanation but was threatened by Jiang Jie. It's really like a dumb person eating coptis and having no way to express his pain!"
Zhong Ruyi's worldview was refreshed time and time again. He shook his head and said, "Even so, his father still said that he didn't have any bad intentions."
Sun Tao sneered, "A thirteen-year-old child is not considered young. Moreover, he was not panicked at all when he killed Erya. He even helped Jiang Gousheng's family look for her."
She was wondering why Jiang Xiaobao suddenly became so kind-hearted.
It turned out that she had done something wrong. No wonder Jiang Jie reacted so strongly when she asked whether they should go up the mountain to look for her. It turned out that the person was buried in the mountain by the father and son.
As they were talking, they arrived at the restaurant.
As a result, they saw Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Si Niang waiting at the door. When they saw them come back, they greeted them with warm smiles on their faces.
