After the vegetables were weighed, Hu Liang paid Aunt Liu on the spot and told her to double-check the amount.
Aunt Liu counted the money several times. Not a single coin was missing. Overjoyed, she thanked them profusely.
Ji Huan helped steady her, saying, "Auntie, we're the ones who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have even been able to get started."
"I'll go get my neighbors right now! They all have vegetables... You're not swindlers, you really do pay..."
After saying this excitedly, Aunt Liu turned and hurried back on her small feet, going to spread the word for them.
The onlookers around them could no longer remain idle.
"They're really buying vegetables? And really paying for them?"
"Didn't you just see it? You think that was fake?" A man scrambled up and slipped on his shoes. "I have to hurry home and get my wife to bring all our vegetables over..."
"I'm going home to tell my mom, too..."
