Lao Chen and Lao Li, who were selling fish at the gate of the vegetable market, had much better business today than usual, and they smiled at each other while greeting customers.

The rumors about Wang Qiang's shortage of catties and taels, in fact, were released yesterday evening, and the vegetable market in Minqiang Town is generally open in the early morning and after four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Qiang just comes to do business every morning, so naturally he doesn't know that his tongue has been chewed.

At that time, the situation was very delicate, some people complained that Lao Chen did not help kill the fish, Lao Chen hated and said "After killing the fish, you don't know how much you don't know when you go back", and then the woman asked Wang Qiang if the amount was less, and Lao Chen responded vaguely.

Lao Li next door saw that Lao Chen had said this, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense.

As a result, Wang Qiang was short of two catties.

Lao Chen sells fish in front of the stall.

He and his wife were greeting two guests, and instantly saw seven or eight people coming around, Lao Chen was happy, today's business is simply hot, needless to say, it must be the gang that cleaned up the kid at the door just now. Well, he also saw Wang Qiang's stall surrounded by a bunch of people just now.

Lao Chen saw the goose-faced woman and the fat woman who came back again and again, thinking that the fat woman had forgotten to sell fish, so the two came back, and he greeted with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll accept the money here." Then, he looked at the old guest in front of him, "Uncle Cheng, one catty and three taels, and one piece of nine cents and five." ”

The egg-faced woman and the fat woman didn't speak, and the seven or eight people who followed behind them all looked at Lao Chen with a very strange look.

Lao Chen didn't know why, so he took the money and asked his wife to hand the fish to Uncle Cheng.

Cheng Bo took the plastic bag and turned to leave.

Suddenly, the egg-faced woman sighed, "Old man, I advise you to weigh the weight and then go back, don't wait to go home and lose one, two, two, two." ”

Uncle Cheng sighed, a little confused.

Lao Chen's face changed when he heard this, he glanced at his wife, immediately squeezed out a trace of an unnatural smile, and pretended to be very straightforward: "Sister Hu......, what are you talking about?

"What do you say I'm talking about?" The egg-faced woman suddenly threw the plastic bag in her hand into his fish basin, and there was a splash of water, which caught Lao Chen off guard, and his trousers were wet, Lao Chen was furious, and just wanted to scold him, the egg-faced woman scolded and pointed to the bag, "How much fish did you sell me just now?"

This time, Lao Chen was a little stupid and couldn't speak.

He didn't speak, it didn't mean that the seven or eight people who gathered around didn't speak, and everyone was talking and bombarding Lao Chen.

The fat woman took the lead in firing the cannon, and said angrily: "Chen Runqiu, Chen Runqiu, I didn't expect you to be such a immoral person, and I also dragged Sister Hu to you to sell fish, but you ended up like this?"

"Like, aren't you too unsophisticated?" the egg-faced woman was furious.

The others scolded one after another, they weighed the weight on Wang Qiang's side just now, and almost all of them were less or less one or two taels.

"Chen Runqiu, you are too much!"

"You can make a fortune without us, right?"

"Okay, I finally see your personality clearly, tell you, and if you want me to sell fish from you in the future?

"No......" Lao Chen was shocked and wanted to explain, but his wife was also very anxious.

"What's not?"

"What the eldest sister said just now is right, you just lack virtue!"

"It's not just a lack of virtue? it's just a lack of blood virtue for eight lifetimes!"

"Hey, you still specialize in slaughtering our regular customers? Behind your back, you say that the young man is short of catties and less than two pounds, why don't you shame you?"

A large group of people condemned Lao Chen, and Lao Li next to him was not much better, and there was also a noisy noise, and the two of them were angry.

Lao Chen was so anxious that his forehead was full of dense beads of sweat, and he wanted to explain, but seven or eight people surrounded him and scolded him angrily, he didn't even have a chance to talk back, and he was very depressed, how could everyone know that he had deducted weight?

Uncle Cheng is an old customer of Lao Chen's family for more than ten years, seeing that everyone is scolding so much, he is a little disbelieving, being a good man to persuade peace, persuading for a while, everyone temporarily stopped denouncing, Cheng Bo hurriedly maintained: "Are you mistaken? Lao Chen is not such a person." ”

The egg-faced woman said angrily: "Isn't this the kind of person?" Cheng, you just bought fish from him, and you just took it to weigh it, right?"

Hearing this, Lao Chen almost scolded his mother, why do you have so many things, what does it matter to you whether others are right or not?

Cheng Bo hesitated, and finally decided to wash away the "grievances" for Lao Chen: "Okay, I'll go find a scale to weigh it, say it in advance, you want the weight to be right, don't embarrass Lao Chen." ”

Since his family understands his own affairs, where does Lao Chen dare to let Uncle Cheng weigh it, and roared urgently: "Uncle Cheng, why do you care about these people who are full of food and support? How can I have less weight?" He was dizzy, and the words blurted out, without thinking at all.

A sentence of being full of food and completely stabbed the hornet's nest, several people who bought fish on his side scolded again, and two men grabbed Lao Chen's collar and waved their fists very excitedly, it seemed that Lao Chen dared to say that they were going to beat people.

Lao Chen was so frightened that his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

His wife was also next to him, remembering to pull left and right, don't really beat her husband later.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Lao Chen was empty, and hurriedly shouted: "If you have something to say, you have something to say." ”

Only then did everyone let go of Lao Chen, but they still looked at him with fierce eyes.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the egg-faced woman borrowed a rod scale from somewhere, handed it to Cheng Bodao: "Old man, let's not say much, you weigh it yourself, right?" ”

The fat woman on the side watched coldly, so many people weighed the weight of the young man outside just now, it was impossible to go to Uncle Cheng's side, right?

Sure enough, Cheng Bo took the rod and weighed it with his boring hands, and then his eyes widened, and he scolded: "Chen Runqiu, you rabbit cub! Hey, you and you are a person in the village, you dare to weigh less?"

Lao Chen didn't dare to fight back, although Uncle Cheng was not surnamed Chen, but he had a high prestige in their village, and he had been the secretary of the brigade before, seeing so many people around, he had no choice but to blush and say: "I, I will return the money to you." He wanted to cry, and yesterday afternoon he spread the news that people were short of catties and two, but he didn't expect the fire to burn himself.

This reputation is ruined, and it can't be recovered in a year or two.

The people who were going to buy fish on Lao Chen's side are not ready now, and some people are still ready to turn around and go to Lao Li's side opposite to sell fish, but their bodies did not turn, and a loud shout came.

"Li Lao Er, what do you want to do? You can do everything that is short of pounds and pounds, and you deserve to be beaten!"

Lao Chen raised his head and looked anxiously, and suddenly couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately he was early in his knowledge just now, otherwise he might have been beaten like Lao Li.

I saw that Lao Li on the opposite side was grabbed by a strong man, and his left eye was already black, obviously beaten.

Manager Yang, the administrator of the vegetable farm, scolded while persuading, "You look good when you go back to the house, don't you?" Then he grabbed the strong man over there, "Big brother, sell my old Yang a face, and let Li Lao Er return the money to you, this matter is settled, is it okay?"

The office he was talking about was a business office.

Lao Li was beaten, how dare he say a word, "I will return the money, I will return the money." ”

The strong man pushed him and staggered, and said unceremoniously: "Hurry up and return the money." ”

Seeing this scene, Lao Chen knew that he had to be a man with his tail between his legs, and the whole person was depressed like a plague chicken.

Lao Li returned the money to the strong man, and said hatefully: "Manager Yang, we set up a stall fee in the vegetable market, and the kid outside set up a stall, why don't you care?"

When Lao Chen heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, you take care of it.

How do you know that Manager Yang said angrily: "I can manage people setting up stalls outside the vegetable market?" If you want to find someone to complain to the county urban management office, they will definitely send someone to take care of it, I am a person from the industrial and commercial office, and I can't manage this part. ”

The Urban Management Office is the predecessor of the Urban Management Bureau, and now it is a public institution, and it was not until 1996 that it gradually became an administrative establishment and an administrative agency, exercising its functions and powers in its own name.

Now Lao Chen and Lao Li are dead, even if they go to the county to sweep Wang Qiang's stall today, it is impossible for the urban management office to keep an eye on Minqiang Town every day, and Wang Qiang can set up a stall outside again.

The money was returned, the scolding was also scolded, and everyone dispersed one after another while gossiping.

The egg-faced woman and the fat woman walked outside, and the two talked as they walked.

"If you want to burn the scriptures at noon, what can you do if you don't have fish?" The goose-egg-faced woman said anxiously, burning the scriptures is a local dialect, in fact, it is the ancestral sacrifice day to burn paper money, Haitong here is generally two crucian carp, a bowl of braised pork and tofu, fragrant dried four dishes, light candles and burn incense, and then burn some paper money, paper ingots and the like.

The fat woman pointed outside, "It's not the two of them who sell fish, let's go to the young man outside, don't we get it?"

Everyone returned the fish just now, so they naturally need to buy fish, and when they heard the fat woman's words, they echoed one by one.

"Yes. ”

"Go out and buy it. ”

"The lad is kind enough, and there is no shortage of weight. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the young man telling us that businessmen dominate regular customers, I wouldn't have known that Lao Chen and Lao Li were so shameless. ”

"It's not just shameless, it's just stinky and shameless. ”

Everyone despised the character of the two fish sellers, and went to Wang Qiang's stall in twos and threes.

Lao Chen, who was not far away, was just sulking, and when he heard everyone's words, he was so angry that he said how did everyone know that he was small, it turned out that the kid outside was making trouble behind his back.

It's just that what can you say? He does have a small weight, and he has a trick behind his back, Lao Chen suddenly flashed a sentence in his mind, the current world is coming quickly, isn't it just him and Lao Li?
