99 Chapter 98, Bad Woman Who Steal Vegetables
The young man next to him was stunned for a moment before he realized that Ji Yuanyuan was calling for him.
“You called for me?” He pointed at his nose and asked in a low voice.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Brother, you look like a scholar. A scholar definitely won’t lie, right?”
The young man subconsciously raised the glasses on his face with his hand and became a little embarrassed.
This sudden high hat really made him a little uncomfortable!
Although it was true that he looked like a cultured person wearing glasses, he was just an ordinary person who had dropped out of high school. How could he bear the title of scholar?
However, looking at other people’s seemingly indiscernible gaze, the sudden vanity began to take over. He suddenly did not want to clarify. He puffed out his chest and said firmly, “Of course, lying is not right.”
“Brother, did you see this Auntie stealing vegetables just now?” Ji Yuanyuan immediately asked.
The young man really saw it. He was right behind this big sister just now and saw it clearly.
However, the young man paused for a moment and hesitated for a few seconds before saying firmly, “Yes, I saw it. Big Sister took a few tomatoes and put them into her bag.”
Ji Yuanyuan gave the young man a thumbs up and then looked at Li Miao, “Aunty, we have to thank this Big Brother. Don’t take his money, okay?”
Li Miao hurriedly nodded and looked at the young man, “See what else you need. After you pick, you can just leave. You don’t have to pay.”
The young man did not expect such a good thing to happen!
At this moment, everyone saw this scene and was eager to give it a try, “Boss, we saw it too. This Big Sister did steal the vegetables. Is it possible that she doesn’t need to pay?”
“Yes, yes, I saw it too.”
“I even saw how many she stole. There’s a total of five. They’re all in her bag!”
…
Ji Yuanyuan looked at everyone with a smile, “Thank you, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Uncles, Aunts, and Grandparents for your righteous words. However, we’re a small business, so we can’t send too many free vegetables. How about this? I’ll make the decision on behalf of my mother. Everyone present today will send two tomatoes and two cucumbers.”
After a pause, she looked at the big sister who stole the vegetables and said pointedly, “Later, the Police Uncle will come over. If any kind-hearted person can tell the truth in front of the Police Uncle, we still have a big gift for you!”
With that, she raised her head and looked at Li Miao with her big eyes, “Auntie, don’t we have a phone? Call the Police Uncle and have them come over.”
As he spoke, Ji Yuanyuan quickly blinked twice at Li Miao.
Before Li Miao could react, Ji Zixuan, who was standing beside her, had already understood what his sister meant.
He quickly went to the cashier and said, “I’ll call the police now.”
Hearing the word ‘call the police’, the aunty who was stealing vegetables was stunned.
She did not expect that the matter of a few tomatoes would reach the point of calling the police?
She had used this tactic many times in the past. Why did it work so well in other stores, but now it had hit a snag?
Thinking of this, she began to panic.
If she reported it to the police, regardless of whether the police would care about it, this matter would definitely blow up.
If it was brought to the police, how would she live?
“No, you can’t call the Police!” She immediately said and subconsciously reached out to pull Ji Yuanyuan.
Fortunately, Li Miao was quick-witted. She immediately pulled Ji Yuanyuan’s collar and pulled her behind her.
“What do you want you do? Stealing was a small matter. As long as you put the things down and promise never to come to our house to cause trouble again, we will let bygones be bygones. But if you dare to hurt someone, we will definitely not let you off,” Li Miao said righteously.
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly took out the tomatoes from her bag and placed them on the shelf, “I’ve put them down, can I leave now?”
Li Miao pursed her lips and could not make up her mind.
Ji Yuanyuan stood behind Li Miao and carefully pinched her fingers.
Only then did Li Miao look at Ji Zixuan and say, “Zixuan, don’t make a phone call yet!”
Ji Zixuan had never thought of making a phone call, but it was just for show.
After hearing Li Miao’s words, he pretended to be hesitant and looked around before putting down the phone.
Only then did Li Miao look at the big sister who was stealing vegetables, “Since our store is opening today and this is your first offense, I’ll let you go for now. If there’s a next time…”
That person covered his face and said in a low voice, “I won’t do it again. I won’t do it again.”
She ran away as if he was running away.
Looking at the woman’s back view, Ji Zi’ang suddenly became chuunibyou, “Yeah, we beat the bad guys away!”
Li Miao did not have the time to pay attention to him. She hurriedly ran over to the cashier and went to pay the bill.
The farce ended just like that. Although they lost some things, it was estimated that no one would dare to steal again in the future.
Li Xu returned very quickly. With one more person, the shop suddenly became more relaxed.
Not long after Li Xu returned, old customers started to come in one after another.
It was unknown whether it was because of the new store opening that everyone wanted to freshen up, or because of the cheap price of the dishes in the store. Throughout the day, customers came in an endless stream.
There were even a lot of people at noon, so they could only take turns going home for dinner. When it was time for dinner, the number of people gradually decreased.
Li Xu left Li Miao and Ji Zixuan, the two brothers, in the store while she brought Ji Yuanyuan home to cook.
After cooking, it was past five in the evening. Li Xu closed the restaurant.
Although it was still early, the food in the store was already gone.
It was summer now, so they could not take out too many vegetables at once. Otherwise, it would not be fresh the next day.
Li Xu did not expect it to sell so well, so the vegetables in the store were not enough for today.
After dinner, it was already past six o’clock. Li Xu cleared the bowls and chopsticks, and Li Miao put the plastic bag of money on the dining table.
Then, she took the children and began to do the accounting.
The children were responsible for sorting the money and counting the bills. Li Miao finally calculated the total amount of money.
As they were counting, Zhang Kun came over.
Li Xu gave Zhang Kun a key to her house, so he opened the door with the key and entered. After entering, he stuffed the key into his pocket. In his right hand was a black plastic bag.
As soon as he entered, he saw the money on the dining table.
Zhang Kun was stunned when he saw the money, “Whoa, this is all the money you earned today?”
Li Miao was counting and had no time to pay attention to him.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, “Yes, Uncle Zhang, aren’t we awesome?”
Ji Zi’ang also ran over and chattered, “We even worked together to fight off a bad woman who stole our vegetables today. Uncle Zhang, you don’t know. She’s really bad. She stole our vegetables and still refuses to admit it.”
