After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life
Chapter 22 Shopkeeper Tong
The man looked at the bamboo pillow he brought and found that it was indeed different from the one on the stall. Not only was the plum blossom mark different, but it seemed that even the feel of it was different. But now that things had come to this, he would never apologize. Besides, the injury on his child's face cost him dozens of coins. At this point, his attitude became tough again.
"I don't care about all this. This bamboo pillow belongs to you. You have to compensate me today whether you want to or not..."
Han Yiyi's face darkened when she saw the man coming at her violently. Daniu saw that the man really wanted to fight, and thought that Han Yiyi had gotten into trouble with the man just to help him, and was worried that she would get hurt, so he mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward and stood in front of Han Yiyi.
"Brother, you can't provide evidence to prove that the item was bought from us, and you don't believe the evidence we provide. In this case, let's go to the government office and let the officials judge the case. If it is proved that you didn't buy this item from us, you will not only have to apologize to us, but also pay for my brother's medical expenses..."
As Han Yiyi spoke, he bent down to pick up the bamboo pillow on the ground, apparently wanting to report to the police.
The woman behind the man saw Han Yiyi's actions and heard her say that she was going to report to the police. She was worried that the matter would get out of hand, so her face turned even paler. She tugged at the man's sleeve and whispered to him.
“Boss, I didn’t buy it here…”
At this time, the woman was talking to the man, and Da Niu also saw the woman's appearance and recognized her, so he spoke directly.
"I remember you. You didn't buy this bamboo pillow from me. You came to ask the price, said it was too expensive, and left..."
The woman originally wanted to save money because she thought the big cattle were expensive, so she bought them from the street vendor. But when she got home, her child was cut.
The reason why she chose the cheaper one was that she met her brother with her little nephew on the street, so she spent five cents to buy a candy man for them. But when she went out to buy a bamboo pillow, her husband gave her twenty cents. She didn't want her husband to know that she was spending money on her parents' home again, so she bought the cheaper one.
She originally thought that all bamboo pillows were the same, which was why she did not stop her husband from causing trouble for Da Niu. She thought that the matter would be resolved if Da Niu paid her compensation. However, she did not expect that now not only did the other party have evidence to prove that the things were different, but she also had to go to the government office to report it. Ordinary people have an instinctive fear of housekeepers, so she told the truth.
Although the woman spoke softly, the people nearby still heard it. When the man heard what his wife said, he slapped her in the face, then pulled the child away without saying a word.
"Wait a minute, big brother. You have wronged my brother and hit his chin with a bamboo pillow, and you are going to leave like this."
"What do you want..." The man stopped when he heard Han Yiyi's words, but the anger on his face did not dissipate at all, and he stared at Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi was still a little scared when she was stared at by the man. After all, her small body could not withstand a punch from the man. At this time, Da Niu pulled Han Yiyi's sleeve and whispered.
"Sister Yiyi, forget it, I just scratched my skin, it's no big deal..."
But Han Yiyi believed that kind people are often bullied. If they let it go today, someone might come and cause trouble again in a few days. So she exhaled, looked up and spoke to the man's eyes.
"Apologize to my brother and compensate for his medical expenses..."
Looking at Han Yiyi's appearance, the man actually felt that Han Yiyi's aura in front of him was not like that of a peasant woman at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to Da Niu and said sorry, then took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve and threw it to Da Niu, and then left without looking back.
The woman who was slapped to the ground by the man saw the man leave, and quickly got up. She ignored the pointing and talking of the people around her and quickly chased after the man.
After the woman left, Han Yiyi heard the two women next to her talking, and one of them spoke.
"Oh, Guo Da's wife has fallen into her old habit again. In the past, she always took her family's money back to her parents' home to give to her brother. That's why Guo Da didn't give her a penny. I didn't expect that she would do such a thing again for her brother from her parents' home today..."
"Yeah, who says it isn't..."
Han Yiyi listened to the conversation between the two. As a woman, she did not feel any sympathy for the slap the other woman had just received. She felt that no matter what, she should not let others pay for the mistakes she had made.
After the woman left, the onlookers also left. Da Niu tightly grasped the string of copper coins in his hand, his fingertips turning white. Suddenly he looked up at Han Yiyi and spoke.
"Sister Yiyi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
Only then did Han Yiyi notice that Da Niu's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.
Han Yiyi naturally understood Daniu. A child of only fourteen years old, who had hardly ever left the village, it was normal for him to be a little timid when he suddenly encountered such a thing. Besides, when he saw the man was about to take action just now, he still stood in front of Han Yiyi, so he smiled and spoke.
"It's okay. This is the first time you've encountered such a thing. You've done a good job. There's no need to blame yourself..."
Han Yiben was about to say a few words to comfort Daniu when a man's voice sounded in front of him.
"Excuse me, ma'am, is this stall yours..."
When Han Yiyi heard the voice, she saw a man about thirty years old standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile on his face.
When Han Yiyi heard the man addressing her, she cried out in her heart. She was only twenty years old, but was being called "big sister" by a man in his thirties. She thought to herself, you are the big sister, your whole family are big sisters. But when she thought of her current face, she thought that he was giving her enough face by not calling her "auntie", so she forced a smile and replied.
"Yes, this is my stall, big brother. Do you want to buy some braised food? But I have sold out all the braised food today. If you need it, I will leave some for you tomorrow..."
"No, there's no need for braised food. I'm the owner of Yunlai Restaurant. My surname is Tong. May I know your surname, sister?"
When she heard the identity of the visitor, Han Yiyi's eyes flashed. She knew the Yunlai Restaurant, which was the largest restaurant in Ping'an Town, so she hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Hello, Shopkeeper Tong. My surname is Han, and you can call me Han Yiyi. I wonder what Shopkeeper Tong wants to talk to me about..."
