The first time Zhang Yitian saw the old man, he guessed that the old man must be suffering from some disease.

He looked miserable, trembling as if he couldn't help it, gaunt, his eyes watering.

The old man's mouth trembled for a long time, but only emitted a wave of wuwu sounds, as if he had something to say.

"You're Zhang Yitian?" Amongst the dozen people, a middle-aged man asked in a very unfriendly tone, "You are really arrogant, our family's old man has been lying here for over an hour!"

He had a crew cut and was dressed decently, but his clothes were a bit old. However, he had a gold necklace around his neck that was as thick as his pinky.

The first impression that this man gave to Zhang Yitian was not very good. He was dressed in an unsophisticated manner, and his tone was even full of haughtiness.

"Yes!" I am Zhang Yitian! What business do you have with me? " Zhang Yitian calmly asked, "If everyone is filial enough, I don't think you would let the old man stay here and bask in the afternoon sun while the others hide in the shade, right?"

Zhang Yitian's words made the few middle-aged men who were leaning against the awning pillars of the village department feel a little awkward. They slowly moved out of the shade.

The middle-aged man with the golden necklace walked in front of Zhang Yitian and said, "It's not up to you to be filial to us, but we've come here today to seek justice!"

"I heard!" Zhang Yitian gestured to Tang Hu and Tang Bao before placing the old man in the village courtyard's awning. "But I still need to trouble you to explain in detail. What does your father's current appearance have to do with the vegetables I sell?"

Zhang Yitian saw this person and disliked him from the bottom of his heart. If he really was a filial son, how could he make his father wait for him here in the afternoon sun?

This was because there was a awning to one side. Although the awning was a bit small, it only had enough shade to accommodate two people.

However, Zhang Yitian quickly understood what was going on. This was because there were a few chairs in the shade. It was obvious that someone was still sitting there …

Zhang Yitian didn't need to think any further. He had already seen through the essence of these people.

If they could not even perform the least form of filial piety, then this group of people would basically be able to determine its quality.

"Good!" Since you want to hear it! Then I shall not wait any longer, and say it again! " The middle-aged man raised his pitch, "I've seen so many villagers around, so everyone here is here to judge me!"

The crowd jeered, and someone even shouted, "Don't worry, if what you say is true, we will definitely not protect the villagers!"

"That's right, since the old tutor is like that, he must treat you all fairly."

The majority of the villagers were discussing something softly, and only a few sharp voices could be heard from time to time.

From the sound of it, he did not seem like someone who was watching a good show, but was actually cheering for the middle-aged man with the golden necklace.

"The day before yesterday, my dad bought a few catties of vegetables from the market near our district! "He had a good time praising them when he returned home, saying that they were food sold by Zhang Yutian, health food sold by him, and even spending eight yuan on them!"

The middle-aged man looked around at his reactions and continued, "I was just saying that my father was spending money recklessly. The market is filled with vegetables that cost one or two yuan, isn't your old man having a big headache …" No, I've been cheated. I actually spent eight dollars a catty to buy so many vegetables! "Humph!"

The middle-aged man sneered, and shook his head: "My father is right, the vegetables sold in a single day are indeed different. Not only am I vomiting and diarrhea, my father's body is already thin, and he is also weak and sickly. He ate all of them in one go, and he ended up in the hospital …"

Crowds... It sounded as if they were extremely surprised, and there were even some who were taking pleasure in his misfortune as they jeered, "Like I said, this One Field dish is so expensive and also so popular. It must be a trick …" "Well now, something has happened, right?"

"Aiyo, that's right. I heard that he bought withered dishes from us and they became watery just by changing hands. Didn't he add some damn thing? How could he do that?"

The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion. Some people were purely envious of Zhang Yitian, but there were also people who had their own schemes and plans.

In an obscure corner of the crowd, Zhang Wenzhong sat on a small horse, holding a small teapot in one hand and the butt of a cigarette in the other.

Hearing the voices from the crowd, the man with the gold necklace slowly became arrogant.

At first, because he was unfamiliar with this place, his words and actions were restrained. After all, this was someone else's territory. Who knew if someone would come out and give him two slaps or a few curses?

However, the current situation clearly leaned towards the side of the middle-aged man with the golden necklace.

Everyone was blaming Zhang Ytian. No matter what their goal was, as long as they stood on the opposite side of Zhang Yitian, they would be greatly encouraged by this middle-aged man with the golden necklace.

He then took out a stack of hospital data from his bag and said to Zhang Yitian, "Take a look for yourself! This is the proof given by the hospital. My father's previous illness was aggravated by the food poisoning and his entire body's organs were failing! "

After Zhang Yitian received the documents, he heard the middle-aged man continue, "Anyway, these past few days, we spent more than 200,000 yuan just for the hospital. In addition, there's also the loss of pay and mental health …" It's up to you! "

Zhang Yitian glanced at the stamp on the document. It was from Lin Xi City's First People's Hospital.

On top were a few test forms, and below them were the spent invoices and various documents.

Zhang Yutian followed the middle-aged man's instructions and smoothed things over. He found out that if he followed the other party's instructions to compensate, then he reckoned that it would amount to a million or so.

Zhang Yitian sneered and passed the document to Lin Mu Ru. He pointed to the seal of the First Hospital and Lin Mu Ru immediately understood what was going on.

After all, Jiao Yanyan lived there now. Furthermore, Zhang Yitian had met with Doctor Han Xue and the Vice Principal before.

Zhang Yutian remained calm and calmed down for a moment. He then said to the middle-aged man with the gold necklace, "Sir, as for the things that you have just said, I have something to ask you!"

In Zhang Yitian's heart, he had already made a preliminary judgement on this matter. He continued to say, "Firstly, how are you sure that the vegetables your father bought were bought from me? Each of these vegetables is about the same, and my name is not printed on them. "

After the middle-aged man heard Zhang Yitian's words, he appeared very calm. It was probably because he had expected Zhang Yitian to question him like this, so he had prepared in advance.

The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said loudly, "Of course I know. Not only did I ask my father, but after the incident, I also asked the food dealers at the market. They all said at the same time that it was you, Zhang Yutian's, selling vegetables!"

"Haha …" From time to time, a few sharp criticisms came from the crowd. "This kind of person has really tarnished our village's reputation. After doing such a thing, he actually doesn't even dare to admit to it …"

Instead, he smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "First, let me be honest with you. You said that your father bought these three days ago, and I have not been to the market for at least a week! You can ask everyone, I'm afraid the vegetables in my garden have yet to bear fruit! "

"Also, a while ago, there were a lot of people who went out to sell dishes under my guise!" Zhang Yitian glanced at the people who were always making a fuss, "I presume we have quite a few in Riverside Village?"

This time, the crowd did not make a sound. Everyone was well aware of Zhang Yitian's accusation, and they knew that if he were to deny it after saying so, then this would be a bit too ridiculous!

"Thus, to me, saying that your father bought the dishes from me is simply a joke …" Zhang Yitian continued, "The vegetables I sell have a lot of regular customers in Lin Xi. You can ask them what they experienced after eating my dishes!"

The middle-aged man was at a loss for words. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhang Wenzhong, who was drinking tea in the corner.

The middle-aged man with the gold necklace became suspicious. After all, when they were discussing, the fellow who was drinking tea didn't say that Zhang Yitian didn't sell vegetables in the end, did he?

And now, they actually said that, and the entire village did not question it. It was obvious that this was the truth.

That old man said it before very well, but now that he was easily exposed, what should he do next?

The middle-aged man scratched his head and saw Zhang Wenzhong winking at him in panic.

Zhang Wenzhong had indeed missed this crucial point. He immediately became nervous, and even felt that the horse under his butt was full of nails, making him unable to sit still for a while.

But things had already come to this, why was this middle-aged man looking at him? Wasn't this clearly related to Zhang Wenzhong?

Zhang Wenzhong quickly squeezed into the crowd.

The middle-aged man's gaze had already exposed Zhang Wenzhong's position. Now, many people followed that puzzled look and caught sight of Zhang Wenzhong's back as he left in a hurry.

Seeing that Zhang Wenzhong had left, the middle-aged man also became very flustered. His tone became hesitant and even started to tremble.

Now, he could only rely on himself. The middle-aged man wiped away his parents' sweat and said, "Then …" Even if it was … Even if you weren't the one selling the vegetables... "I heard that he also bought some vegetables from you …"

This reason was really a bit far-fetched. Even those who were in the crowd earlier could only helplessly shake their heads.

"I just said, my garden hasn't borne fruit yet! "Excuse me, where did I get the vegetables and sell them to him?" Zhang Yitian smiled.

"…" The middle-aged man had nothing to say now. The countermeasures that he and Zhang Wenzong had previously discussed were now completely useless. Because the direction of things was no longer controllable.

At this moment, Lin Mu Ru also walked over and loudly said to the middle-aged man: "Of course, there's one more important point!"
