    “Elder sisters, we really don’t have any vegetables for sale in our vige, let alone giving them away to you!” The Vige Head looked at the olddies in front of him and said with great effort, “All the few vegetables we had left are now gone. We don’t have any spare to give to you!”


    After hearing this, Granny Li yed dumb, “I don’t care. We came here, and we won’t go back empty-handed.”


    The Vige Head and others, ‘ .


    How could there be such shameless people?


    They don’t even know them, so why should they give them anything?


    They’re so infuriating.


    However, these olddies are all over sixty or seventy years old, and you can’t hit or scold them. You can only persuade them gently. Otherwise, if something happens to any of them, they would have to bear the consequences.


    “Vige Head, no matter how we persuade these olddies, they just won’t leave. What should we do?” A viger whispered, “Should we really give them some vegetables?”


    The Vige Head red at him and said unhappily, “No, we won’t! Believe it or not, if we give them some now, they’lle every day for more. Even if we were familiar with them, we wouldn’t do that!”


    “But if we don’t give them anything, they won’t leave! What should we do?” The viger said anxiously, “It’s getting dark. What if something happens to them on their way home? They wouldn’t me us, would they?”


    “What can we do? We can onlypromise!” The Vige Head said even more unhappily, “If we really can’t persuade them to leave, then we’ll have to give them some.”


    “Vige Head, you’re wrong about that. Our Xiao Family Vige’s vegetables are famous in the town. Now that our vige has no vegetables to sell, even money can’t buy them. These olddies must be here because of our vige’s reputation, trying to take advantage.”


    The Vige Head furrowed his brow, looked at the olddies again, and tried to persuade them, “My old sisters, we really don’t have any free vegetables left in our vige. Please hurry back before it gets dark. Otherwise, when it’s dark, the road will be hard to navigate.”


    Granny Li sneered, “Howe others get free vegetables, but when we olddiese, there’s none for us? Who are you people looking down on? I’m telling you, we won’t leave today without getting vegetables. If we walk back after it gets dark and happen to fall on the way, we’ll put the me on you.” Upon hearing these words, Chen Qin’s anger surged.


    She burst out, “You people really shouldn’t go too far! If you choose to walk back in the dark and fall, what does that have to do with us? Are we the ones stopping you from leaving? Obviously, you just don’t want to go! I’ve seen greedy and opportunistic people before, but you really take the cake.”


    Granny Li and her group were immediately dissatisfied, “You, woman, who are you calling greedy and shameless?”


    Chen Qin didn’t hesitate and said loudly, “Whoever feels guilty, that’s who I’m talking about! Am I not telling the truth? We’ve said it countless times: we have no vegetables to sell or give away! And yet, you’re still here, acting shameless. Isn’t that just being greedy and taking advantage? Are you all so impoverished that your children can’t provide for you? If you really don’t have children to take care of you, fine, we’ll be generous and give you some old vegetables. How’s that?”


    Chen Qin realized that reasoning with them was useless, and their thick skin had to be ripped off.


    Those who followed Granny Li felt very angry when they heard Chen Qin’s words.


    “No one takes care of you! I have three or four sons, and they are all very filial.”


    “My children are also very filial!”


    If it were true that their children didn’t care for them, their reputation would be tarnished, not only for themselves but also for their children. So, they became angry.


    As Chen Qin listened to their words, she ced her hands on her hips and sneered, “Oh, so you all have filial children, huh? Since you all have such children, then what’s the meaning of sticking to us like glue?”


    “Is it your children’s idea? If it is, that’s fine. Just tell us your names, and we’ll go door-to-door and deliver the vegetables while drumming and ying the trumpet. At the same time, we’ll also help you promote how filial your children are, how about that?”


    The faces of these olddies turned a dark shade of green, looking extremely unpleasant.


    They pointed at Chen Qin as if they wanted to curse but couldn’t find the words.


    Seeing them all unable to speak, Chen Qin continued, “Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, we’ll call the police and have the Yanmen officials find your children to take you back. After all, it’s getting dark, and it’s not easy for olddies like you to move around. It’s safer to have your children pick you up.”


    After saying that, Chen Qin turned to his younger son, Xiao Qing Shan, and said, “Xiaoshan, go and call the Yamen officials.”


    Xiao Qingshan saw his mother in her moment of triumph and immediately replied, “Got it, I’m going now!”


    When Granny Li saw Xiao Qingshan taking out his cellphone as if he was really going to call the police, she panicked and shouted, “Fine! We’re leaving!”


    While Grousing, she said, “We only came for the reputation of Xiao Family


    Vige’s vegetables. Who would have thought that you would be so stingy and even haggle over a few vegetables? Let’s go, we’re leaving!”


    The Vige Head and others, ‘ .


    That’s it?


    They’d been trying to persuade these olddies for a long time, but they remained unmoved.


    Yet, with just a few words from Chen Qin, they were sent running.


    Watching the backs of the olddies as they retreated, the vigers gave Chen Qin a thumbs-up and teased her, “Ha ha, it’s no wonder you’re the Vige Chief’s Wife. You’re really impressive! Just a few words, and you’ve scared these olddies away.”


    “Mom’s mighty!” Xiao Qingshan also happily shouted, “Ha ha, listening to my mother’s words, I was really afraid that these olddies would have a stroke and fall. I didn’t expect them to run away instead.”


    “Heh, we men have been speaking nicely to these olddies for so long, yet they just wouldn’t listen. We were about to give in and try sending them some vegetables. Now we didn’t even think that the Vige Chief’s Wife would show her authority and send them running.”


    Chen Qin felt a little embarrassed hearing these words.


    Sheughed and said, “These shameless olddies just won’t listen to you when you’re nice to them. They’ll get all excited and think that we have no choice but to give them what they want. However, when ites to their children’s reputation, they get cautious. They may love taking advantage, but they can’t let that affect their children.


    “You’re actually right. Why didn’t we think of that just now?”


    “Ha ha, next time someone tries to take advantage, we’ll threaten them like this..”
