“This issue involves people who are regulars at the town’s market stalls. They always follow the same routine so they naturally agreed with the point that Uncle Ge had taken advantage of this space because it was prime real estate and refused to leave. They said it was a case of bullying. Irritated, Uncle Ge started an argument with them. The argument grew intense, and in the end, Uncle Ge even knocked over the pear paste candy that someone else had brought to sell at their stall.”

“Once Uncle Ge started, the other person was not about to let it go. He tipped over the pea cake stall and even stomped on the cakes on the ground. What’s more, he punched Uncle Ge, leaving him with a black eye. Eventually, the pavilion chief arrived with his men and took them both away to discuss the matter.”

“But the whole incident was instigated by Uncle Ge, and he was the first to knock over someone else’s goods. It seems likely that he’ll get punished more heavily in the end. There are a lot of spectators on the street today, some already followed to get the scoop. They probably have some news by now,”

Zhang Qiuying spoke animatedly, narrating the entire incident to Zhuang Qingning.

Zhuang Qingning blinked.

Given Ge Hetong’s usual behavior, he was bound to offend people, and with his thriving business yesterday, it was only natural that someone would want to take his stall. However, she didn’t expect the situation to escalate so quickly and become so serious.

Based on the current situation, it seemed that Ge Hetong would no longer dare to act recklessly in the town in the future, or insist on taking advantage of others every day.

“This is a case of ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’.”

Mrs. Cao added from the side: “Every deed one commits has consequences. The accumulation of good and bad deeds determines one’s fate. Sooner or later, all will be revealed.”

Mrs. Cao spoke while glancing outside, and then at Zhuang Qingning.

Bad deeds, like those of Ge Hetong, and good ones, like those of Zhuang Qingning, would eventually bear their respective consequences. A good young woman like her would surely receive her just rewards.

“That’s true.” Zhuang Qingning agreed and then started preparing to open the tofu shop for the day with a smile.

Zhuang Jingye got things done quickly and efficiently. In less than three days, he had delivered two big pots to the tofu shop.

The pots were very well made, cast iron, sturdier and more durable than handmade pots.

“Thank you, Uncle Chief.” Zhuang Qingning promptly thanked him.

“What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do,” Zhuang Jingye said with a big grin. “Regarding these pots, I asked several people for help and explained the situation in every possible way, and then had people work overtime to get these done.”

He wasn’t expecting thanks from Zhuang Qingning, but he believed in taking credit where credit was due.

Otherwise, wouldn’t other people not know what you’ve done for them?

“No wonder Uncle Yonghe suggested I seek your help. I thought it was a good idea at the time, and now it seems it really was the right choice. No one else could have done it except Uncle Chief.”

Zhuang Qingning understood Zhuang Jingye’s intentions and continued in his vein: “That’s why it’s said that getting the right person to do the right thing can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it also saves time and effort.”

Having benefited greatly from his actions, Zhuang Qingning was not stingy with words of praise, she showered Zhuang Jingye with compliments.

Zhuang Jingye tingled from head to toe, feeling as if he were walking on clouds, as he savored her praise.
