It was autumn now, and the air was even colder by the river. The burly man was only wearing a thin rough shirt, and he looked like a healthy, angry, and hardworking person.
His face was full of desire and anticipation. He walked out and said in a rough voice, “I’ll buy it! Your family’s food is so fragrant. I have to go to the casino later to be a fighter. I’ve just left the house and I’m still very hungry. Give me a portion!”
“What’s this… glutinous rice chicken? It can fill up one’s stomach the most, right? It doesn’t look small. Give me one!”
“If it’s porridge… this is congee, right? It’s the same as what your family ate just now. Let’s add pig liver and minced meat. Did you just say that eating pig liver is good for the body? I use force every day, so I have to nourish my body.”
The burly man quickly ordered food and took a step back. He looked at the Guan family, meaning that he was waiting for them to make a move.
Many people were surprised. There was another small effect in the crowd, and it was a little chaotic. Clearly, there were many people who were waiting to see if anyone bought from this stall.
The mean woman who originally thought she had the upper hand changed her expression. She said to the man in disbelief and anger, “Are you crazy? This stall’s things are so expensive, but you’re buying them? Doesn’t your family need to use money? This stall’s things are so expensive. How can you buy them?!”
Another person’s expression changed when they heard that. That was right. Didn’t his family need money at home?
The man was waiting for his food to be ready and was full of excitement. He turned his head and said to the woman with a strange expression,
“If you can’t afford it, then don’t afford it. Who said that I can’t afford it either? If you think it’s expensive, then don’t buy it. I don’t think it’s expensive. I think it should be very delicious and I’m hungry. If I want to buy a portion to try, that’s my business. Why don’t you let me buy it? It’s none of your business.”
That man was working in the casino and had seen many different kinds of people. His mouth was also very smooth. Although he wasn’t frighteningly fierce, his words were very precise.
The mean-faced woman’s expression changed immediately.
Perhaps she did not expect that someone would be so good at talking. It hit her where it hurt.
Moreover, this man even said that she couldn’t afford it and exposed her poverty! However, she couldn’t refute him…
To be called poor in front of everyone, she would definitely lose face. But the mean woman didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of this big man.
When everyone heard the burly man’s words, they were stunned. That was right. Most people felt that it was expensive and couldn’t afford it, but it didn’t mean that others couldn’t afford it.
Why was this woman jumping up and down and stopping others from buying?
There were bound to be people who didn’t lack money! There were so many people here, and a woman couldn’t control everyone.
“You.” The woman realized that she had influenced everyone’s attitude previously but had lost a lot of face in front of everyone now. At this moment, she felt indignant and said to the burly man, “You… I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let you buy it, but this family is obviously out to scam everyone’s money. Moreover, it’s so expensive. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Although you don’t lack money, you have a wife, children, parents, and family to provide for, right? How can you spend so much money? It’s just one meal of food but you’ll lose a few catties of grains!”
The woman did not give up.
The burly man was puzzled and a little annoyed. He said, “I work in the casino. I have two taels of silver a month. I can afford to eat from this stall. What’s wrong?? Why must you care about me?”
“Besides, even if I don’t have that much money, I don’t buy food from this stall every day. I can eat and try it, right? Why do you look like you want to care about my money?”
