Thinker Novel Network
When the stall owner saw that the middle-aged woman was really going to call the police, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.
"I'm sorry! Please don't call the police! I'm still in college. If I'm taken away by the police, I might be dismissed by the school..." she begged bitterly.
The few people watching were not unreasonable. They accused her out of righteous indignation. Seeing the situation of the stall owner's sister at this time, they all felt compassion, knowing that the consequences of being taken away by the police would be very serious, so they turned against her. Come over and persuade the middle-aged woman:
"This eldest sister, you see that she has admitted her mistake, so let her be spared this time."
"That's right. She is also young and ignorant. Everyone makes mistakes. Let her go this time."
"She has learned her lesson this time, and she will definitely not dare next time."
The stall owner took out her wallet tremblingly, and took out dozens of dollars from the wallet, "This is the money your child paid for the snails. I will refund all of it to you. Don't call the police, okay?"
However, the middle-aged woman did not pick up the money, waving her mobile phone and insisting on calling the police.
"Money? I'm not short of these tens of dollars! Can these dozens of dollars buy my son's life? Let her go this time, and she might cheat others next time! Can money buy your life?" She was angry yelled.
The onlookers lost their minds when they saw this, sighed a few times and stopped talking.
Originally, the stall owner’s sister sold dangerous creatures and almost killed a child, so it’s okay for her to learn some lessons. Middle-aged women have the right to call the police.
However, once the police are called, the life of the stall owner's sister may be ruined.
Other nearby vendors watched from a distance, and no one came to dissuade them.
The child led by the middle-aged woman looked around at the surrounding adults ignorantly, still not understanding what happened.
The stall owner's sister finally couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and wept bitterly while covering her face.
Xiaoxue was also very angry at first, she thought the stall owner was a fraudulent profiteer, but after standing aside with Zhang Zian and listening for a while, she also made a mistake - the stall owner did do something wrong, but this punishment Is it too heavy? After all, the stall owner has already sincerely apologized.
The netizens in the live broadcast room are also divided into two factions. One group thinks that it is necessary to forgive others and forgive others. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. Thinking about it from the standpoint of a middle-aged woman, her son almost died unexpectedly, who can swallow this breath?
Xiaoxue saw that the middle-aged woman had already pressed the alarm number, so she almost dialed it. She hurried over and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry! What happened here?"
Seeing that Xiaoxue was about the same age as the stall owner's sister, the middle-aged woman thought they were classmates or friends who came to help the stall owner's sister, and her expression changed.
But when she looked carefully, Xiaoxue's clothes and temperament were completely different from those of the stall owner's sister, and she didn't seem to be favoring the stall owner when she spoke. The most important thing was that Xiaoxue's smile had always been very friendly, so she softened her tone, Said: "What happened? Go ask her and see if she has the face to say it."
Her tone is still not very kind, but this is already her greatest restraint.
Xiaoxue turned to the stall owner's sister, handed over a few tissues first, and said softly, "Don't cry, just wipe away your tears."
The stall owner's sister looked at Xiaoxue and Zhang Zian with tears in her eyes. She vaguely heard Zhang Zian mention Yecai just now, and she seemed to be a knowledgeable person. In addition, Xiaoxue stopped the middle-aged woman from calling the police, which made her feel a little relieved.
She finally stopped sobbing, took the tissue to wipe away her tears and snot, her eyes were already red from crying.
Taking a few deep breaths, she choked up and explained what had happened.
It turned out that her surname was Jiang, and her name was Jiang Feifei. She was a foreigner, and she was studying in Binshang University. Because her family conditions were not very good, she would go out to work when she was not in class, such as tutoring and the like.
Jiang Feifei's hometown is inland, and she had never seen the sea before she came to Binhai City. Since she came here, she has been fascinated by the sea. When she has no classes or tutoring work, she often goes to the beach to play.
The frequency is about once a week.
By chance, when she and her classmates passed by the fish market, she took a stroll and found that there were stalls selling some marine life outside the fish market, such as starfish, sea urchins, crabs, octopus, small fish, etc. The business was pretty good.
She also saw these creatures at the beach, so she came up with an idea - anyway, going to the beach is for fun, and by the way, she can pick up some creatures and sell them in the fish market, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
After this idea was born, it was out of control. She tried it a few times, and the creatures she picked up were quite popular, and the rarer the creatures, the more popular they were.
She doesn't understand the market, and the prices are all slapped on the head, but anyway, these creatures are picked up, there is no cost, and there is no need to pay rent or water and electricity bills for setting up stalls outside the fish market. Why not have fun and make money at the same time?
Sometimes when class is about to start, the creatures she picked up have not been sold out yet, so she simply sells half and gives away at a very low price.
During this process, she broadened her horizons, got to know many marine creatures, and generally knew which creatures were easy to sell and which ones were not.
But even so, every time she goes to the beach, she still finds one or two strange, never-before-seen creatures.
Jiang Feifei's picking and selling has always been smooth, there has never been any accident, and she never thought that the creatures she picked up might be dangerous, until today.
It is winter vacation now, school has not started yet, and there is no tutoring class today.
In the morning, my roommate was still sleeping with her head covered. She had already got up and set off to the beach with her backpack, which had packed several plastic storage boxes and tarpaulins in advance.
She stayed at the beach from morning to noon, picked up some creatures and returned with a full load, and went to the outside of the fish market to set up a stall as usual.
Today's sales are mediocre. She is not in a hurry. She sits on the tarp and takes out her professional books. When there are customers asking questions, she will respond a few words, and when there are no customers, she will read the books and review them.
As time passed, she was reading a book when a young boy ran up to her booth, staring unblinkingly at the sea life in a plastic storage box.
The Spring Festival has just passed, and children have a lot of lucky money in their hands. They spend money lavishly, and they are not as fussy as adults. They are the main consumers that should not be underestimated.
The little boy asked her a few words, what kind of fish is this and what kind of crab is that.
She knew these sea creatures, but she might not be able to tell their scientific names, and some of them were the first she saw, so she had to say that she didn't know them.
The little boy picked out one or two small fishes, one or two gobies, and a beautiful snail, and paid the price happily without even returning the price.
The problem lies in this screw.
The little boy went home and met an adult relative. When he saw the snail he was carrying, he was frightened and told his mother that it was a very poisonous cone snail!
