In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 27 Bribing the Yamen
The vendors smashed the vegetable stalls completely and left contentedly. Before leaving, they couldn't help but mock Su Zhizhi.
"Report to the police? Go ahead and report us! Do you think we were brought up to be scared?"
"This incident today is a small lesson for you. I hope you can remember it."
"That's right, be smarter next time and don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with."
……
Just like that, a group of people left arrogantly, leaving only the mess and Su Zhizhi standing there.
Su Zhizhi felt so distressed when she saw the vegetables she had worked so hard to grow scattered everywhere. She wrote down the names of all the people who had smashed her stall and prepared to report it to the police.
County government office.
Su Zhizhi found the yamen runner and told him the whole story.
The yamen runner was slightly stunned when he heard this, then said expressionlessly, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen! Then I must investigate thoroughly."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the yamen runners beside him to bring over all the vendors involved.
After a while, all the vendors who smashed Su Zhizhi's stall were brought in.
I thought the matter could be resolved at this point, but who would have thought that the next second the bailiff would stand with several vendors and talk and laugh.
"Sir, long time no see! How are you today?" The vendors greeted the yamen runners enthusiastically, and their gestures seemed like brothers.
At this moment, where Su Zhizhi couldn't see, the leading vendor quietly took out a purse and handed it to the yamen runner.
The bailiff took it from behind, then weighed the purse and immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"Not bad." The yamen runner nodded with a smile. Outsiders only saw the bright smile on his face, but they didn't know that the yamen runner was smiling with satisfaction at the weight of the money bag.
What did Su Zhizhi not understand after seeing this scene? It was simply that the vendors had long been colluding with the yamen runners, which was why they dared to smash her stall so arrogantly and fearlessly.
Su Zhizhi was furious at the thought, but she swallowed the loss silently. What else could she do? She had no money, let alone bribery, and she had no power.
Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi had already prepared herself for the worst, that is, she would not get any compensation today, and would have to pay for the food.
Sure enough, the next second, the yamen runner came out to smooth things over, saying, "I think it's just a misunderstanding between you all. We're all here to set up stalls. As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth! Why make things so awkward? Maybe we can help each other out when we set up stalls together in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Zhizhi instantly became dissatisfied, but because she had no support, she did not express her dissatisfaction.
Just at this moment, a familiar voice appeared from behind Su Zhizhi.
"Su Zhizhi? Why are you here?" A woman's voice was filled with surprise.
Su Zhizhi subconsciously turned her head upon hearing the voice, and found that the person she saw was Liu Xiaohua.
"Uh...something happened to me, so I came to the county government office to deal with it." Su Zhizhi answered truthfully.
Su Zhizhi's words aroused Liu Xiaohua's curiosity.
"What's the matter? Do you have to come to the county government office to solve it? Shouldn't you be selling vegetables at the morning market at this time?" Liu Xiaohua asked.
At the same time, the vegetable vendors around felt something was wrong when they saw Liu Xiaohua appear, because Liu Xiaohua's unusual clothes showed that he was not from an ordinary family.
However, the yamen runners beside him were filled with regret when they saw Su Zhizhi actually chatting with Liu Xiaohua. If they had known, they would not have accepted the money from these vendors. The Liu family was a wealthy family in the local area! These small yamen runners could not afford to offend them.
Everyone present had different thoughts, which Su Zhizhi could not sense, but she still told Liu Xiaohua the whole story.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaohua's face turned pale with anger after hearing this. "How can such a thing happen? Don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice today."
After saying this, Liu Xiaohua looked at the yamen runner fiercely and asked, "Is this how you handle things?"
Upon hearing this, the yamen runner immediately laughed and said, "Actually, Miss Su is also at fault. She sold the vegetables at such a low price that she stole other people's business and disrupted the market balance. That's why these vendors did this."
Liu Xiaohua didn't buy into this PUA and asked, "Oh? Then why don't they sell at a lower price? Why don't they try to improve the quality of their dishes?"
"Why don't you look at your own problems from your own perspective? Why do you keep staring at others? Let me see! You just can't stand others doing well, and you're greedy. You want to make money but don't work hard to make progress."
Liu Xiaohua did not hesitate to expose the hypocritical faces of these vegetable vendors.
The yamen runner was stunned by Liu Xiaohua's retort, and in the end he could only smile and nod in agreement.
"Then, Miss Liu, how do you think this matter should be handled appropriately?" the bailiff asked cautiously.
Seeing that the yamen runner had been persuaded by him, Liu Xiaohua nodded with satisfaction, "That's easy. Let those who smashed my friend's stall compensate her and apologize."
Liu Xiaohua said without hesitation.
"Okay, then let's do everything according to what Miss Liu said." The bailiff nodded.
After hearing this, most of the vendors realized that they had hit a wall today. After thinking about it, they felt that they were no match for Su Zhizhi, so they decided to apologize to Su Zhizhi.
"I'm sorry, Miss Su. What happened today was our fault. We were too reckless and that led to the current situation. I hope you can forgive us. We will pay for all the vegetables on your stall today."
The leading vegetable vendor spoke to Su Zhizhi seriously.
Of course, there were also a small number of vegetable vendors who decided to fight Su Zhizhi to the end.
"No, I don't agree. It was clearly her fault for not following the market rules and selling the vegetables at a low price. Why should we apologize to her? Now she's taken all our business. Can't we make her pay a price and teach her a lesson?"
A middle-aged man stood up and stared at Su Zhizhi and said viciously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaohua immediately retorted, "Oh? Is it her who told you to sell vegetables that are not fresh? Is it her who told you to sell them at high prices? Besides, you sell them at such high prices just to make more money, and they sell them at a lower price so that the people can eat more affordable vegetables."
