CH 13

Hearing the system sound, Si Tian was taken aback and looked at the ordering station.

The woman, who was hit, frowned and made a loud voice, while the child standing in front of her was a little taller than her waist. He was thin and leaned towards Si Tian.

Si Tian saw that his hand was shaking tightly holding the hamburger, then raised his head, and said in a difficult voice, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

The woman’s voice was a bit shrill and she did not conceal her arrogance: “It’s fine to say that it wasn’t intentional? What about your parents, tell them to lose money, my new clothes cost thousands!”

Pei Jing bit her lip: “I’ll wash it for you and return it to you.”

“I won’t tell you, tell your parents to come over.” The woman pulled a few pieces of tissue paper at random, wiped the Coke on her body, and her brows furrowed tightly, “There is really no tutor.”

Although Pei Jing was only seven years old, he already knew what it meant to have no tutor. His hand that held the hamburger became tighter and tighter, standing motionless in place.

“Mom, that’s Pei Jing, my new tablemate.” Ji Ningyi said anxiously, “I saw it just now. It was that Aunt who bumped into him while playing with her mobile phone.”

Si Tian stood up and took Ji Ningyi’s hand: “Then let’s go over and help your new tablemate.”

Ji Ningyi nodded and Ji Zhile followed immediately: “I’m going too!”

It took less than half a minute for the incident to happen and the eyes of many people in the store were drawn to this side. The waiter hurried over and was about to mediate and ask about the situation, but Si Tian had already stepped forward to speak.

“Swearing at people without understanding what happened, are you bullying children who are ignorant?” Si Tian’s voice was unhurried, it was clear, and with her extraordinarily beautiful face, she immediately attracted people’s attention to her side.

The woman asked: “Is this your child? Is it reasonable not to say sorry for bumping into me? How do you teach the child?”

Pei Jing frowned slightly: “No—”

Ji Ningyi touched her hand and said quietly: “This is my mother.”

When he said this, his eyes were shining, and he looked up at Si Tian, ​​with admiration and liking that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Pei Jing also looked up, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Si Tian’s hair through the glass, very dazzling.

Pei Jing quietly hid the hamburger drenched in Coke behind him, bowed his head, and said nothing.

“Pei Jing, did you say sorry to this Aunt?” Si Tian asked Pei Jing.

Her gaze was a bit complicated. After all, the hero she had read in that book grew up to be an existence who could call the wind and rain. He was the Overlord of the King. She never thought that he would be so pitiful when he was a child…

Sure enough, it is very in line with the beautiful, strong, and tragic personality.

Pei Jing shook his head: “Auntie, I’m sorry.”

Si Tian looked at the woman: “He said he was sorry, so didn’t you?”

The woman had a ridiculous expression on her face: “Are you kidding me? He bumped into me and I still need to say sorry?”

Ji Ningyi held Si Tian’s hand tightly, Si Tian lightly rubbed his fingertips, silently comforting him, and then said to the woman: “Since this is the case, then let’s take a look at the monitoring. If it is all Pei Jing’s fault, then I will pay you back, how much is your dress?”

The woman snorted softly: “Three thousand and nine.”

Si Tian pretended to be surprised: “What a coincidence, Pei Jing’s clothes cost four thousand and nine. If you are also at fault, you can just pay four thousand and nine.”

“What are you kidding!” The woman was shocked.

Si Tian smiled: “Didn’t you make a joke first?”

The woman tossed the ball of paper that she had wiped off the Coke casually: “I’ve never seen such a spoiled parent like you.”

Si Tian smiled: “Then I’ll let you learn more, you’re welcome.”

Si Tian ignored the woman, turned to the waiter, and said, “I want to watch the surveillance. Please ask the Store Manager to come and get a personal ID.”

The woman seemed to have thought of something and said with a stiff neck, “Just look at it, it was him who bumped into me.”

Si Tian looked down at Pei Jing, the future ruthless tyrant is still just a child, anxious, holding the hamburger tightly, leaving deep fingerprints on it.

Si Tian smiled at him and said silently, “Don’t be afraid.”

In the monitoring room, what happened just now was played on the screen.

Everyone present saw clearly what happened. The woman held the tray in one hand and answered the phone with the mobile phone in the other. Pei Jing turned around with the hamburger and walked a few steps and the two bumped into each other.

Ji Zhile immediately said: “So it was Auntie who bumped into Brother on the phone.”

He said: “Auntie’s Coke even soaked Brother’s clothes and Auntie didn’t apologize.”

As soon as Ji Zhile’s innocent words came out, the woman’s expression turned ugly.

Si Tian did not expect Ji Zhile to be a small assistant. She looked at the woman: “Now that the truth is clear, shouldn’t you also apologize to Pei Jing?”

The woman immediately said: “He didn’t look at the road and bumped into me. How can I apologize to a child as an adult?”

Immediately, the eyes of the Store Manager and the clerk next to her looked a little strange. The woman knew she was wrong, but it was too embarrassing for an adult to apologize to the child and she could not bear it.

Si Tian said: “Then we said just now, if you are also at fault, you have to pay for Pei Jing’s clothes for 4,900 yuan, you can see for yourself what to do.”

She asked Pei Jing: “Pei Jing, do you want this Aunt to apologize to you too, or make her lose money?”

After all, both sides had problems, the woman looked at the phone instead of the road and Pei Jing’s attention was all on the hamburger in his hand, so they bumped into each other. But the woman took the lead and spoke badly, Si Tian is completely on Pei Jing’s side now.

The woman snorted: “You are here to blackmail me. I’ll give you as much as you want.”

Anyway, it is impossible to apologize to a child in front of so many people.

Pei Jing looked at Si Tian, ​​then at the others, his fingers became more and more tightly entangled. After a while, he said in a low voice: “I don’t want an apology, I want money.”

As soon as these words came out, the two children, Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile, opened their eyes wide, as if they could not believe what they heard.

Only Si Tian smiled faintly. No wonder he could become the overlord in the future, he is so pragmatic at such a young age.

If it were her, she would also want money. Wouldn’t she just be scolded? As long as she had enough money, she would be willing to be scolded for two hours a day.

Now that the pressure is on Si Tian, ​​Si Tian decides to work hard and get more money for the child.

The smile on her face became more and more commercial: “Since this is the case, it’s easy to say. The clothes Pei Jing is wearing are 4,900 yuan and the pants are a little wet. The original price is 2,900 yuan. Now it is 50% off, just give it 1450 yuan. The toe of the shoe is also wet, the original price is 3,000. According to the wetness, I will give you a discount of 300 yuan. And this hamburger, it must not be eaten. How much is this hamburger, Store Manager?”

The store manager and shop assistants who were watching from the side felt a little weird. When they came to the monitoring room, they thought that there would be a wrangling and scolding battle, but they did not expect it to become a business scene in the end.

Si Tian’s serious look really seemed to be bargaining at a street stall.

It’s just this hamburger… The front was full of thousands and hundreds of dollars, and the waiter felt a bit embarrassed: “This is five yuan.”

Ji Zhile immediately said: “No, the hamburgers we ate cost 32 yuan each!”

The waiter became more and more embarrassed and explained: “Child, the new burger you ordered costs 32 yuan. This kid wants today’s special price, which only costs 5 yuan.”

Ji Zhile opened his mouth wide in surprise.

But in his eyes, there is no difference between the two burgers, but the price difference is too far.

How much is thirty-two minus five? Ji Zhile counted on his fingers. It was twenty-seven. He lost twenty-seven yuan!

He can buy several five-yuan burgers, and Ji Zhile, who wears tens of thousands of shoes but doesn’t know the value, feels extremely distressed at this moment.

Si Tian said: “Five yuan is five yuan, all of them add up to six thousand six hundred and fifty-five. Please give me the money.”

The woman did not expect to count so much and suddenly felt a little bit pained: “Then my clothes are still wet.”

Si Tian glanced at it, nodded, and said bluntly, “Indeed, the three thousand and ninety-nine you just said, right? Calculated based on the wet area, one-third of it is wet, and the converted amount is 1,130.”

“After the reduction, you still have to give me 5,525 yuan. WeChat, Alipay or cash?”

Woman: “…Alipay.”

Si Tian took out her mobile phone, watched the woman scan the QR code, and listened to the electronic sound playing “Alipay received 5,525 yuan”. She was immediately refreshed and almost said “Welcome next time~”

The woman left cursingly. Si Tian glanced at Pei Jing and knew that he must not have a mobile phone, so she said to the store manager: “Can I exchange the money with you? This money is for the child.”

The store manager immediately said: “Yes, this is what we should do.”

Si Tian said, “Thank you, the kid’s hamburger got wet, can you get him a new one?”

“Yes, yes.” For the store manager, the matter of a hamburger is much easier than arguing.

Si Tian said to Ji Ningyi: “Ningyi, take your classmates to our table and wait for me to change the money back.”

Ji Ningyi nodded: “Okay, Mom.”

Ji Zhile also followed along. The store manager heard it and asked in surprise, “Miss, aren’t you the mother of that kid?”

Si Tian said, “No.”

The store manager sighed: “You are such a good person.”

The system broadcast in my mind: [Ding dong… Congratulations to the host for gaining life: two days.]

Si Tian smiled slightly, hiding her achievements and fame: “This is what an enthusiastic citizen should do.”

***

At the dining table, Ji Ningyi, Ji Zhile, and Pei Jing were sitting together. Pei Jing was a little restrained and Ji Zhile stared at him without blinking.

Ji Ningyi reminded his younger brother: “Zhile, you haven’t finished eating your chicken legs yet.”

Ji Zhile snorted, took a bite with his head down, looked at Pei Jing again, and finally asked, “Why don’t you ask for an apology, but ask for money?”

“The teacher said that if you do something wrong, you have to apologize. This is true for adults and children and it cannot be measured by money.”

His voice was immature and his words were clear. Pei Jing’s face turned red, he squeezed his school bag tightly, and wanted to escape: “I’m going home.”

Si Tian just came back and pressed the child’s shoulder: “Why are you going? You haven’t eaten any food and you haven’t received the compensation yet.”

She glanced at Ji Zhile and said, “The victim is Pei Jing and he can ask for any compensation he wants, as long as both parties are willing.”

Ji Zhile snorted and frowned slightly. This conflicted with what the teacher taught him and he was very entangled at the moment.

Si Tian gave Pei Jing a thick stack of money sealed in an envelope that had just been exchanged: “You count it, you deserve it.”

Pei Jing shook his head: “I don’t want it.”

Si Tian said, “Why not? This is just compensation, your clothes and trousers are all wet.”

Pei Jing gritted his teeth and kept silent.

Ji Ningyi said softly: “This is what happened to us outside the school. I won’t tell our teachers and classmates. Besides, I think my mother is right.”

Seeing his seriousness, Pei Jing finally stretched out his hand hesitantly, touched the envelope lightly, shook his fingers, finally took out a fifty-yuan bill from inside, and pushed the rest of the money to Si Tian. He said in a low voice, “This money is enough to compensate me for the clothes I wear and the rest should be given to you.”

He squeezed the fifty yuan in his hand, stood up, and bowed to Si Tian: “Thank you, Auntie.”
