After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Is Jinchu really that brave? Bullshit!

In fact, she was also very nervous, but things had come to this point today, and it couldn't get any worse. After all, if she stuck her head out, she would be in danger, and if she kept her head down, she would also be in danger.

There were people behind them, but there was no one behind them. Even if they were the winners at the last moment, the fat guy would quickly become the winner the next moment.

Faced with such a dramatic reversal, Jin Chu had no choice but to accept it with a pinch of his nose. The only thing he could do was to defy power, argue with reason, and refuse to admit his mistakes. In the end, he might even end up with a heroic ending where his skin was torn to pieces!

Jin Chu made her choice quickly and was ready to accept it.

But before that, she still wanted to stand up to the power and resist a few times with reason, so as to disgust these bad guys who bully others with their power.

She turned to Chen Yuqing, bowed, and then quietly thanked her, "It is a great honor for my sister and me to have the rich man's daughter settle the case. However, the reason this uncle told me is not entirely clear. In fact, the story should be..."

Jin Chu repeated the incident again and again. She was originally the one who was right, so she didn't even need to add fuel to the fire. It was clear who was right and who was wrong in the whole incident.

Unfortunately, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and similarly, you can never convince a person who is ready to be partial.

After listening to Jinchu's story, the master and servant ignored the few women around them who were braver and more righteous and who repeatedly agreed with Jinchu. They just turned to the fat waiter and asked, "Is what this woman said true?"

"Little girl, you are talking nonsense! I never said the earrings were worth two taels of silver. Since they asked me, I said it was three taels of silver. It was them who paid."

The fat waiter wanted to say straight out that they couldn't afford more than three taels of silver, but then he paused, remembering the five hundred taels of silver note Jinchu had taken out. He then continued, "They couldn't bear to part with the three taels of silver, but they wanted the earrings, so they made up a story and falsely accused me of raising the price, saying that I was charging three taels for earrings worth two taels to make a quick buck!"

"You're the one who's talking nonsense! You just admitted in front of everyone that the last time I came, you only asked about the price and didn't buy anything. Now you're lying to this girl and you don't even acknowledge what you said?"

The fat man's fabricated words made Huizhen so angry that her whole body was shaking.

The fat guy glared at me with his triangular eyes, stiffened his neck, and snorted, "When did I ever tell everyone that the last time you came, you only asked about the price and didn't buy anything?"

He took two steps toward Chen Yuqing, glanced at everyone in the store with a domineering look, then turned around and asked Huizhen fiercely, "Since you say there is, then why don't you find a few people to prove it for me?"

Jin Chu glanced around and saw that those who had heard this before all lowered their heads, looking left and right but not looking straight ahead. Even those who sympathized with the two of them and had criticized the fat guy with a common hatred for the enemy, all shut their mouths silently.

Although he knew that it was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, when he was really in such an environment and became the "harm" that he shouldn't have become, Jin Chu couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Power is indeed a good thing. Not only can it send you to the top, but it also allows you to ignore the people who are lower than you, use power to oppress others and take advantage of others.

For the first time, Jin Chu clearly felt that in the feudal dynasty of Dajin, the class relations between people were more cruel and clear-cut than in modern society.

Taking human life lightly is indeed a common fact.

The fat man saw that everyone was either avoiding him or keeping their heads down. Even those who had just sided with the two girls and cursed him turned their eyes away, not daring to confront him. He suddenly felt that he had finally regained the face he had lost. For a moment, he felt very proud and satisfied.

He got carried away and started talking nonsense again. "You know, even though that earring is small, it's very skillfully made. Just the fish part of the earring is made of the finest blue tourmaline. If I didn't pity you, I would have spent at least five taels of silver to buy it!"

"You're already this old, and you've lost all your dignity today? All you remember is lies, going back on your word, and looking at everyone in the room with blank eyes."

Jin Chu looked at the fat man coldly, not giving in at all. "I saw the earring clearly. The fish body part is clearly made of blue water jade. When did it become the blue tourmaline you mentioned?"

"You are a young girl who grew up in a poor house and can't even afford new clothes. How do you know what tourmaline and water jade look like? If I say it is tourmaline, then it is tourmaline!" The fat guy pointed at Jin Chu and started to attack her personally.

"It seems that at your age, you have really lived like a dog!"

Jin Chu ignored the fat clerk's furious expression and continued to scold him, "Although in business one should learn to judge people by appearances, you can't generalize. The vast land of the Great Jin has its own myriad of people. Those noble and reclusive celebrities often live in seclusion, wearing simple clothes and eating simple food. They pursue the ultimate simplicity of the great way and the supremacy of the spirit. How many of them care about those gorgeous clothes and white jade beds?"

She touched her cotton-padded jacket and said loudly, "I am just a country girl, so I dare not compare myself with famous scholars. But there is one thing I still want to learn from them, and that is to face all external things calmly and cultivate my inner self in everything."

The girl raised her head slightly and looked around. "No one has a choice about where they are born. If you're lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family, you'll naturally be clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, surrounded by servants. But if you're unfortunate enough to be born into a poor family, are you going to ignore your parents' toil and hard work just to satisfy your own selfish desires? Even if I were to wear the fine clothes I earned in that way, I'd still feel guilty. I wear these coarse clothes today, but I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't suck the hard work of my parents. Even though my clothes are simple, my heart is rich and I have no regrets!"

At some point, the surroundings had become quiet. The girl's voice was not loud, but her eyes were bright. Although she was dressed in cloth, she exuded a frank, calm and generous demeanor. Perhaps it was because she was too beautiful, but when people looked at her cotton-padded jacket, which was made of rough material but clean and tidy, they didn't think it was shabby and pitiful anymore.

Huizhen looked at the girl in front of her with shining eyes, and sighed in her heart again that Jin'er was really good at speaking, and every word she said touched her heart.

Little did they know that with so many people around, there were naturally rich and poor, and people were all made of flesh and blood. After all, there were few children who did not pity their parents, and Jin Chu was just arousing everyone's empathy at the right time.

Although Chen Yuqing's expression was still natural, her red lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with a bit of coldness. She cursed in her heart, "What a sharp tongue this woman has!"

She was the center of attention, but she was overshadowed by this country girl's nonsense. She had no intention of making things difficult for Jin Chu, but now she couldn't help but feel a bit more punitive.

A young man in brocade clothes who had been standing outside the door for who knows how long looked thoughtfully at the girl in plain clothes standing with her head held high inside.
