It just so happened that it was a Saturday, and school was closed.
After lunch and tidying up the house, the three members of the family, including the grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, went home with Hua Anshan and his wife.
I've been away for a week, and apart from being a little dusty, the house is pretty much the same as when I left.
The vegetable garden behind the courtyard was thoroughly turned over by Yan Moli and her husband, and vegetable seeds were sown again.
The vegetable seeds that were planted just a few days ago have already sprouted tender green shoots.
They poked their heads out of the soft soil, curiously gazing at the world.
Hua Yuansheng was worried about the land at home, so he went out with his hands behind his back not long after arriving home.
Dinner was at Hua Yuanqing's house.
Because I was rushing to set up my stall in the county town at 4:30, I finished eating at just past 4:00.
While eating, Hua Yuanqing watched the others eating with no worries, his hair turned white with worry.
Sure enough, as soon as the oxcart started moving, he immediately followed: "I'll go take a look too!"
Yan Dahua was also worried.
But there are two children at home, and we can't be without adults.
Want to bring it along?
They were also worried that it would be too chaotic at night and the child would be taken away by the kidnappers.
He could only say regretfully, "Old man, go and see for yourself and tell me all about it when you get back."
The group drove the oxcart toward the three-way intersection, but before they even arrived, they saw that the intersection was completely blocked by people.
Hua Lichu and Hua Antao exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"11 rings for 1 yuan, is this your place? I got some cigarettes from your place yesterday, and when I opened them, they were covered in mold. They were soft and damp when I squeezed them, is this even fit for human consumption? Come on, you old codger, show me how to smoke one!"
A burly man stood like an iron tower in front of the stall.
His broad shoulders seemed capable of bearing a thousand pounds, and his solid muscles rippled beneath his clothes, exuding a fearsome power.
Liang Dajiang's lips moved a few times, and he retorted in a barely audible voice:
"Impossible! All the cigarettes we smoke are brand new, good quality. Who knows where you got these spoiled cigarettes from..."
Looking at the burly man whose entire body screamed "don't mess with me," Liang Jingdong instinctively took a step back.
The burly man frowned, his eyes widened, and a cold light flashed across his fleshy face: "What did you say?"
The burly man looked menacing and a bit intimidating.
Yet he considers himself a reasonable person.
He took out the cigarettes he had acquired yesterday from his pocket, opened the pack, and showed them to the onlookers.
“I, Li Sanxing, will not change my surname or my name. I got this pack of cigarettes here last night. Look, it’s covered in mold.”
People around peered over and nodded in agreement: "There is indeed mold growing on it."
Xiao Mei glanced at Liang Jingdong hiding behind her, pursed her lips, and took two steps back.
The burly man Li San grabbed Liang Dajiang and pulled him close, shoving a cigarette in his face.
"Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Isn't this covered in mold?"
Although I, Li San, am poor, I would never do the kind of thing you described.
"I got this cigarette from your stall."
Seeing Liang Dajiang being grabbed by the neck and looking very uncomfortable, Wang Pandi disregarded her fear and shouted defiantly:
"Just because you say it's my family doesn't mean it's mine. So if I say you're my son, then you're mine?"
Those around him agreed that it made sense.
Just as the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, an elderly woman walked over with a mirror in her hand.
"Pah! I wouldn't even take this junk for free. Give me back the money I spent on the ring toss game yesterday!"
As she spoke, she held up the mirror in her hand and said loudly:
"Look, this is the mirror I put on here yesterday. I just brought it home and the glue has already come undone."
A mirror is a mirror, and a shell is a shell…
Among the crowd, several people who had also won prizes at Liang's stall immediately forgot about the excitement and turned to head home.
From afar, Liang Jingdong, who was hiding at the very back, saw Hua Lichu and her group. His eyes flashed several times, revealing a sharp glint in them.
“We’re not the only ones running this ring toss game stall. How can you prove that the items belong to us and not someone else?”
Before Hua Lichu could refute these words, the other regular customers chimed in:
"Impossible! The other stall has been here for months and nothing like this has ever happened before."
"How come you showed up yesterday and then got into trouble today?"
"Yeah, these junk items must be from their company. They must be unwilling to spend money but want to copy others, so they're trying to cheat people by selling inferior goods as superior ones."
"What's the point of someone like that setting up a stall? Smash it!"
The burly man, Li San, shouted, "No! They haven't compensated us yet!"
So many people played ring toss at her place yesterday, I'm sure I'm not the only victim. Should we wait until they pay up their losses before smashing up her place?
Hua Lichu stared blankly, then shook her head speechlessly after the initial shock.
Then he quickly drove the oxcart to his own stall location, set up his goods, and looked at his neighbor with a look of anticipation.
She had a premonition that the Liang family was going to suffer a huge financial loss tonight!
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, several more people arrived, carrying things in their hands and shouting for compensation.
They said the item they got here last night has quality issues.
Upon seeing this, Wang Pandi simply lay back and began to wail and scream:
"Is there no law? Is there no justice? City people are bullying me, a country person? A group of young people are bullying an old woman like me..."
These words were like stirring up a hornet's nest. The onlookers, who were originally indifferent and ready to stay out of it, were instantly enraged.
"Hey, can't you be reasonable, you old lady...?"
In the midst of the crowd's agitation, an old woman suddenly rushed out from around the corner, grabbed Wang Zhaodi by the hair, and slammed her head against the ground:
You dare to cry!
You dare to come here!
I was just wondering where to find you!
My grandson won a bag of snacks from you yesterday, and as a result, he's been vomiting and having diarrhea today. He just got out of the hospital...
You have no conscience...
"Your son will be born without an anus..."
At this moment, the old man who had visited Liang's stall yesterday and then returned to play the ring toss game let out a sneer.
This caught Hua Lichu's attention, prompting her to look over.
"These idiots!"
I could tell something was wrong at first glance yesterday. Her cigarette boxes were old and worn out; even a fool could tell they weren't good quality.
"Only a bunch of brainless idiots are greedy for such petty gains."
Hua Lichu gave the old man a thumbs-up and said:
"Grandpa, we've launched a new promotion today."
With your ticket from three ring toss games at my house, you can draw a prize from our treasure chest. Want to give it a try?
The old man glanced at the items laid out on the ground and said:
"You changed the style of your things? And what's with that treasure chest?"
"Yes! It's always the same few things, I'm sure you're all tired of seeing them."
We just came back from the city and brought back some new things...
As for the treasure chest, look, the balls inside are labeled with one, two, three, and the grand prize. If you draw one, you can come to me to redeem the corresponding level of gift.
The third prize is a small toy that you can take home for your grandson to play with..."
