After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom
Chapter 32: Punishing Unscrupulous Merchants
Jin Chuchao glanced at the crowd of people watching the excitement and noticed that at the door there was a middle-aged man wearing a round-necked brocade robe and a belt around his waist, frowning and looking at him.
Standing next to him was the energetic young man who had welcomed him and Huizhen into the house.
At this time, the young man was leaning sideways and whispering something in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned, but he always stood quietly and did not take a step forward.
Jin Chu's heart moved. He pulled Huizhen behind him and faced the fat clerk. He said loudly, "Your Jin Yu Zhai has become the number one jewelry store in the city. I think the owner must be an honest and trustworthy person with a long-term vision."
She turned to the crowd behind her and raised her voice, "We sisters are certainly not wealthy, but your Jin Yu Zhai is open to customers. Since you have jewelry worth two taels of silver, and we can afford it, this deal can be made. As long as the deal is successful, we sisters can be considered customers of your store."
The people around nodded, and someone else echoed, "Yes, since you have products worth two taels of silver in your store, you naturally need customers worth two taels of silver! You can't make money from people and then turn around and call them poor, right?"
"You're really a woman who wants to be a saint. You can make money from the poor, but you still look down on them. What kind of good people are you?"
The fat waiter's insults about being poor directly hit the sore spots of the customers in the store who were not well-off. In addition, his arrogant and rude attitude caused disgust among the crowd, and for a while, many more customers came to support Jin Chu and the others.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man at the door take a step forward. Jin Chu whispered to the fat waiter, "Uncle, are you still insisting on taking three taels for these two taels of silver earrings?"
Seeing Jin Chu's attitude suddenly soften, the clerk became even more certain that these two were short of money and could not afford three taels of silver, so they wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter!
He has lost face so much today because of these two poor guys. How can he feel at ease if he doesn't get it back?
Anyway, they couldn't afford the earrings. Since he couldn't make any money, he was going to weld the word "poverty" onto these two dead girls.
The face I lost today must be doubled back from these two people!
Thinking of this, he deliberately shouted back, "I'm putting this on notice today! You two poor fellows can't afford these three taels of silver, yet you come to my shop and cause trouble!"
There was another round of boos from all around, and someone who couldn't stand it shouted at Jin Chu, "Girl, quickly take out three taels of silver and beat him to death! Let him look down on others!"
After these words were spoken, Jin Chu didn't react much, but Huizhen next to him already had tears in her eyes.
Huizhen deeply regretted not bringing enough silver, which had put her in such an awkward situation. She also blamed herself for haggling with that snobbish person, putting herself in such a passive position and causing Jinchu to suffer the same humiliation.
She grabbed Jinchu's hand, and just as she was about to say, "We're not buying it!" with trembling lips, Jinchu suddenly pressed her hand down and spoke first, "You're so greedy, asking for too much. We sisters didn't want to buy these earrings, but you're going too far! As the saying goes, you can't win by trying too hard. We're really going to buy these earrings today!"
Jin Chu raised her head slightly and looked at the fat waiter coldly, "Don't you always scold us sisters for being poor and making trouble? Then if we really take out three taels of silver to buy your earring today, what will you do?"
"If you can really come up with three taels of silver, you can choose any piece of jewelry in this store today!" The fat clerk made the promise without hesitation.
At this time, the fat guy was certain that the two people in front of him could not come up with three taels of silver at all, and his endless chatter was purely bluffing.
"Are you serious?" Jin Chu asked.
"Of course I take it seriously, but what if you can't come up with three taels of silver?" The fat waiter pressed on, his triangular eyes staring at the two girls in front of him with ill intent.
"What do you want?" Jin Chu's eyes flashed slightly when meeting his gaze.
In the eyes of the fat guy, this became evidence of the dead girl's guilty conscience.
He suddenly became even more imposing, and uttered viciously, "In front of everyone, both of you kneel down, kowtow, serve tea, and call me Grandpa!"
A woman who felt sorry for them came out to help: "Both girls will get married in the future. Isn't this too cruel?"
"I have to accept the loss! No matter the age!" This was said by the man who came to watch the fun.
Huizhen had already closed her eyes and tears were streaming down her face.
She hated herself for arguing with this fat guy over a pair of earrings. At worst, she could just not buy them! Now, not only was she embarrassed in public, but she was also causing Jin'er to suffer as well.
She said in a whisper that only Jin Chu could hear: "Jin'er, please leave now. I can handle it myself!"
Jin Chu shook her hand and whispered to her, "Sisters, we have to shoulder the burden together! Don't worry, I have a solution."
Huizhen opened her eyes and saw the girl's smiling face. Her eyes were bright, her tone was soothing, and she spoke with a calm and confident attitude that everything was under her control. This miraculously soothed Huizhen's panicked heart.
After Huizhen calmed down, Jinchu turned around and looked at everyone, saying loudly: "Since we have the good fortune to meet today, you are all witnesses. Please take a good look at the banknote in my hand, so that this treacherous and shameless fellow will not go back on his word and break the bet!"
The crowd even started to jeer, "Don't worry, girl, we are all witnesses, just take it out and let us see it!"
Jin Chu took out the five hundred taels silver note and held it high so that everyone could see it more easily.
Someone with sharp eyes excitedly shouted, "This is the Great Jin Treasure Note, from the 21st year of the Tianqi era. The seal on it is very clear. I saw it. It's worth five hundred taels!"
With a "wow" sound, the crowd exploded again.
"And you're saying I'm just trying to be fat. I'm already fat, why would I need to pretend to be fat?"
"You're asking people to take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror, but now you don't even know who you're looking at!"
The guy's face turned blue and red, and the hairy black mole was trembling constantly, showing that he was very excited.
He stared at the banknote in Jinchu's hand with bloodshot eyes for a while, then suddenly raised his arms and waved them wildly, shouting: "That's fake, fake, fake!"
This fat guy was obviously angry and embarrassed, and his speech was incoherent!
Huizhen also came back to her senses at this time, looking at Jinchu in surprise and joy, "Jin'er, you, you actually have so much silver!"
Jin Chu smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Admit defeat!" The crowd of onlookers shouted at the fat guy.
"A grown man lost a bet with two little girls, but he dared not take responsibility for it. It's really embarrassing for a man! Bah!" someone spat with disdain.
The fat fellow was still struggling. He pointed at Jin Chu and cursed viciously, "She, she, she, that little bitch, she tricked me!"
"They came here to buy things, but you, a scoundrel, didn't do business properly, but chose to bully them with evil intentions. Now that you've been retaliated against, you accuse them of scheming to cheat you. You are truly a shameless and despicable villain!"
An enthusiastic audience member who felt indignant about Wei and Jinchu came on stage to join in the fight.
For a moment, the store was filled with a lot of chatter and noise.
Just as the porridge was in a mess, a charming female voice was suddenly heard at the door: "Oh, Jinyuzhai is really lively today!"
