"If you don't pay compensation today, I will beat you to death, you little thief!"
On the street, a middle-aged melon seller grabbed a dirty little girl and beat her.
"I didn't steal the melon!"
"I didn't steal the melon!"
"I really didn't steal the melon!"
The little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Her clothes were in tatters and she was wearing tattered straw sandals and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Snapped!"
The melon seller slapped her, leaving a deep mark on the little girl's face!
"How dare you quibble!"
"I said you stole it, so you stole it!"
"I know you're holding some money in your hand, take it out for me quickly, or I'll send you to see the official!"
The middle-aged melon seller said fiercely.
"No!"
"This is the money for grandpa's medicine. I saved it with great difficulty."
"I didn't steal the melon!"
"Please don't send me to see the official, don't take my money!"
"ah!"
No matter how much the little girl prayed, the middle-aged strong melon seller still refused to give in. He forcefully opened the little girl's hand and snatched the money from her hand.
"It's only ten cents, which is not even enough to buy me a watermelon!"
"This time, you will pay ten cents first. Three melons will count as one hundred cents for you, and you will pay back the remaining ninety cents slowly!"
"snort!"
The middle-aged melon seller said with a cold snort, and then turned around and went back to his stall!
"No!"
"You are not allowed to leave!"
"Give me my money back!"
"give me back!"
The little girl didn't know where she got the courage to hold on to the melon seller's legs and wouldn't let him leave!
"Xiao Yue'er is really so pitiful!"
"Who says it's not the case? We actually provoked the bully Chen Hui!"
"But did Xiao Yue'er really steal his melon?"
"Impossible, he must have bullied Xiao Yue'er and his grandfather because they saw that they were dependent on each other and had no supporter behind them!"
"Xiaoyue'er earned these ten cents by helping Aunt Hu from the vegetable stall move vegetables for ten days, and Chen Hui just snatched them away!"
"..."
The onlookers were whispering, but their feet seemed to have been poured with thousands of kilograms of sand and cement. They stood motionless and refused to say a word for the little girl.
"Go to hell!"
The melon seller Chen Hui swung hard and sent Xiao Yue'er, who was clinging to his leg, flying away!
Jiang Chen had a clear view of all this. When he saw the little girl flying out, he jumped and caught the little girl before she landed!
"Little sister, are you okay?"
Jiang Chen said softly.
"I...I'm fine!"
"Thank you, big brother!"
Xiao Yue'er lowered her head and whispered.
Jiang Chen took Xiao Yue'er and walked to the melon seller Chen Hui, looked at Chen Hui with cold eyes and said
"Have you lived your whole life like a dog?"
"What kind of rotten person would steal a little girl's money?"
"Little Taoist priest, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
"She stole my melons and I asked her for money. That was only natural."
"Don't think I'm wrong just because she's pitiful. There's an old saying that pitiful people must be hateful!"
Chen Hui said with a bulge on his face and spittle flying everywhere.
"How many melons did she steal from you?"
"Three watermelons!"
"I stole three watermelons from you in one go?"
"That's right, I saw her running away with three watermelons in her arms!"
“How much does this melon cost per pound?
"Two cents a pound!"
"Is the skin of your melon made of gold or the particles of the melon? Why is it so expensive?"
"This is still in Yueling County, where watermelons are produced. If I place this somewhere else, I will lose if I don't charge you ten cents per pound!"
"Okay, where is your stall? I want to buy three watermelons from you. Do you know if your melons stay ripe?"
"I have been running a fruit stall on this street for more than ten years, and I have always been a childlike person. Why, I can still sell you raw melon and eggs?"
"I'm just asking you whether it's cooked or not. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
"I think you, the little Taoist priest, are sincerely looking for trouble, right?! If you're not familiar with it, I'll eat it alive!"
Chen Hui returned to his stall, took three watermelons, put them into a sack, weighed them, and then said
"Look, it's thirty-five pounds tall, a total of seventy cents!"
"Then why do you care about this little girl asking for a hundred cents?"
Jiang Chen said.
"Okay, are you waiting here?"
"You three are small, and the three she stole are big!"
Chen Hui said with a cold snort.
"I'll give you one tael of silver, and you can send me three melons to Yunhua Inn, will you do it?!"
Jiang Chen said.
"Dry!"
"Why not?"
"No fool would do it!"
Chen Hui immediately accepted the job.
One tael of silver is worth one thousand cash, and in actual exchange, it may be exchanged for up to fifteen hundred cash.
His net income from selling melons for a month is no more than two taels of silver!
Good guy, three watermelons delivered to his door are worth half of his monthly income!
Chen Hui picked up the linen bag and carried three watermelons and walked towards the Yunhua Inn not far away!
"etc!"
"Don't fight with the bag, just go hold the three watermelons yourself!"
Jiang Chen took out a couple of silver coins and continued:
"The money is here, it's up to you if you have the ability to take it!"
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
"you……"
Chen Hui just wanted to have a fit, but when he saw the one tael of silver in Jiang Chen's hand, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Don't play tricks with me, or I will beat you to pieces!"
Chen Hui poured out the three watermelons from the sack and wanted to hold the watermelons and walk towards Yunhua Inn, but as soon as he picked up the three watermelons, the middle one rolled down, and then he picked up the middle one again.
The watermelon rolled down again.
Finally, I found a suitable angle to hold the three big watermelons in my arms, moving carefully.
"Why don't you run away?"
"Run quickly!"
Jiang Chen stretched out his foot and kicked Chen Hui on the butt!
Chen Hui staggered and the three watermelons in his arms fell to the ground and were smashed to pieces!
"You, a strong man, are walking like shrimps while holding three melons that cost 70 cents each. How did this little girl run away holding three large watermelons that cost 100 cents?"
Jiang Chen shouted angrily.
"What a little Taoist priest, I think you are looking for death!"
Chen Hui glared angrily, swung his fist and hit Jiang Chen hard.
"Well done!"
A hint of joking flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, he opened his fist and punched Chen Hui!
Click!
There was a crisp sound of bone cracking, followed by Chen Hui's painful wail!
"Ah...my hand!"
"My hand is broken!"
"I'll fight you!"
Chen Hui held back the severe pain and kicked Jiang Chen viciously. Jiang Chen responded with a kick, and then kicked Chen Hui right at the joint of his foot.
There was another crunching sound, and Chen Hui's ankle was broken. He was rolling on the ground in pain!
"Next time I encounter you bullying the market and bullying the weak, then it won't be your limbs that will be cut off, but your head!"
"Do you understand?"
Jiang Chen walked up to Chen Hui and looked down at Chen Hui who was rolling on the ground.
"knew!"
"knew!"
"Master Dao, I was wrong. Please show mercy and let me go!"
"I don't dare anymore!"
Chen Hui trembled in fright when he saw Jiang Chen's indifferent and murderous eyes, and begged for mercy again and again.
Jiang Chen knelt down and found ten cents in his arms, which he had robbed the little girl from.
"Oh, right!"
"and this!"
"Snapped!"
Jiang Chen took the ten cents, then smiled slightly and slapped Chen Hui hard on the mouth, breaking several of his molars.
"puff!"
Chen Hui spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Jiang Chen with fear in his eyes, and the fear was mixed with violent and bloodthirsty impulses!
