Chapter 122: Destroying The Stall
When the farmers heard Qiu Xingyuan’s doubts, they put down the locust pesticide warily. Some even started to cancel their payment, choosing to observe the situation first.
Lu Sheng glared at Qiu Xingyuan fiercely. His business had been affected and his anger was surging.
More and more people gathered around the stall. Lu Sheng rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Qiu Xingyuan, shouting, “Look clearly at who he is!”
“A while ago, the locust pesticide that went wrong was developed by a child from the Qiu family. His own pesticide was problematic, and now, he’s slandering us. He obviously failed to earn any money and wants to drag us down with him! He’s clearly jealous!”
Lu Sheng spat and gritted his teeth as he slammed the locust pesticide onto the table. He boasted, “We’ve done testing!”
“There’s definitely no problem. Please don’t believe a child’s nonsense…”
Lu Sheng looked at Qiu Tong and pointed at her rudely, publicly scolding and slandering her. “Who knows how Qiu Tong teaches her children? She actually lets her children cheat and harm others!”
“These children are illegitimate without a father. No wonder they lack discipline!”
“If there had been someone in the family to take charge of their upbringing, the children wouldn’t have become like this. How pitiful…”
Lu Sheng clicked his tongue. Qiu Xingqiao’s eyes turned red from anger and he quietly clenched his fists.
While the crowd discussed the background of Qiu Tong and the children, Qiu Xingqiao finally lost control and shook off Qiu Tong’s hand. He ran to Lu Sheng’s stall and lifted his leg to kick apart two wooden beams.
The table tilted as the wood broke, and all the locust pesticide fell to the ground.
Qiu Xingqiao ran over and stepped on the pesticide bottle. In an instant, the pesticide flowed all over the ground and the smell of locust pesticide filled the air.
Lu Sheng felt as if he was looking at the cash in his hand fly away. He was so angry that he wanted to grab Qiu Xingqiao by the collar and raise his hand to hit the boy.
“How can you bully children?”
“The children of the Qiu family are really delinquent. No matter what, the boy shouldn’t have destroyed the stall!”
The onlookers were watching the commotion and had no intention of intervening. Qiu Tong frowned and wanted to attack.
Ke Le and the others happened to pass by after picking up Ye Luan. The mercenaries immediately surrounded them. Ke Le hit Lu Sheng’s wrist. Lu Sheng released his grip on Qiu Xingqiao in pain, while the mercenary caught the falling Qiu Xingqiao.
Ke Le shielded Qiu Xingqiao behind him and instantly instructed his team, who were well-trained in controlling unruly situations.
Lu Sheng and the clinic staff were surrounded by mercenaries. The atmosphere between the two sides was tense and at a stalemate. No one dared to move.
When Mayor Shen received Jin Yang’s call, he kept thinking about showing concern for Qiu Tong’s situation. He had originally wanted to go to the kindergarten to make small talk with Qiu Tong and ask if she had encountered any problems recently and needed help. But now that he had witnessed such a chaotic situation, he was so frightened that cold sweat immediately ran down his back.
“Move aside! What are you doing?”
Mayor Shen stepped forward to stop both sides. When he saw Lu Zhiling and Lu Sheng, he scolded them sternly. “What’s going on?”
He turned to look at Qiu Tong and saw that she looked extremely unhappy. He hurriedly asked in a gentle tone, “Miss Qiu, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
When Lu Zhiling saw Mayor Shen appear, she came out from behind and walked up to him, pretending to be aggrieved as she said, “Mayor Shen, you came at the right time.”
“Our clinic knows that the situation in the grain fields is extremely serious. The farmers are all very anxious, so we worked overnight to develop this locust pesticide to sell it.”
“But the Qiu family children came to destroy our stall and even spilled our pesticide.”
Lu Zhiling fiddled with her curly hair. Sensing everyone’s eyes on her, she continued. “I know that Mayor Shen hasn’t been able to sleep the entire night due to the locust plague. The clinic wants to solve Mayor Shen’s problem…”
Mayor Shen looked back at Qiu Tong guiltily and coughed lightly to interrupt Lu Zhiling.
Qiu Xingqiao was so angry that he shrugged his shoulders in a huff. The knuckles of his fists were slightly swollen as he said, “Eldest Brother kindly pointed out to them that there was something wrong with their pesticide. But they started scolding Mommy and us…”
Qiu Tong could sense that Qiu Xingqiao’s anger had not subsided. She placed her hand gently on the top of his head and rubbed it.
