When the two returned home, Grandma Fang had already prepared lunch.
Seeing them entering the living room, Grandma Fang scolded Fang Zhuoran: "It's almost time to eat, where have you gone? It's so cold that you still need to find wheat."
The two sat down, and Fang Zhuoran told Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang that Su Yuying came to him.
Grandma Fang said in disgust: "Why is that child Yuying becoming more and more shameless? You two are married, and she still comes to pester you!"
Lin Mai originally wanted to tell the old couple why Su Yuying wanted to find Fang Zhuoran, but he was afraid that they would get upset after hearing this.
Su Yuying didn't ask her father for help when something happened, but insisted on asking Grandpa Fang to teach her. Isn't this an obvious plot against Grandpa Fang?
Who wants to be plotted against?
It's better not to say anything. Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang won't be angry if they don't know about it.
After lunch, Lin Mai put down his bowls and chopsticks and headed to the market.
Although the government has opened state-owned grain and oil stores and state-owned food markets.
During a snowstorm, citizens can buy grain, oil, vegetables, fish, meat, and eggs even if they don’t have a ticket.
However, the supply of state-owned grain and oil stores and state-owned food markets is limited, so people still like to go to Fuduoduo Food Market.
Fuduoduo Food Market has a full range of varieties, large quantities, and the food is fresh.
There are too many customers and the employees are overwhelmed. Lin Mai has gone and can still help.
But before she went out, she went to the back door to take a look at Su Yuying. She was still kneeling in the snow.
The frail young lady was almost tottering from the cold.
But Lin Mai didn't feel bad at all, she just knelt down and let her go.
Lin Mai walked through the snow to the Fuduoduo Food Market.
Before I even entered the market, I heard unusual noises inside.
She quickly walked in and saw a well-dressed aunt with gold earrings and short curly hair jumping up and down in the market, making a lot of noise.
The few cadres present had helpless expressions on their faces, and the customers also criticized her.
But that aunt is very powerful in combat and is good at making trouble without reason. With so many people at the scene, she couldn't suppress this old witch.
Lin Mai walked up to the aunt and asked kindly: "Hello, aunt, I am the owner of Fuduoduo Food Market. If you are not satisfied with our food market, just tell me."
When the aunt saw Lin Mai's gentle words, she thought she was being tricked.
She became more and more arrogant, and almost pointed her finger at Lin Mai's face, poking a hole in her face.
She said angrily: "Your market is bullying people too much.
As agreed, all disabled people, the elderly, orphans and seriously ill patients can receive free subsidies by signing up at your market.
I signed up by phone early in the morning, but after your volunteers came to investigate, they said my family was not eligible.
My second son is disabled, why is our family not qualified? You say, why are we not qualified?!"
The few cadres at Fuduoduo Market were so angry that their faces were livid, and before they even opened their mouths, many customers started shouting at each other.
“The notice published by Renjia Fuduoduo Market in the newspaper clearly states that only the extremely poor disabled people, extremely poor elderly people living alone and extremely poor and seriously ill patients are eligible to sign up to receive free subsidies.
You see, you have a gold ring and gold earrings, you are so well-dressed, and you have a fat head and big ears. From the looks of it, you are not a particularly poor person. How do you qualify for free subsidies?"
The aunt yelled: "My family is in trouble!"
When everyone saw her acting rogue in order to subsidize supplies, everyone shook their heads and looked at her with particularly contempt.
At this time, a small cadre at Fuduoduo Market said righteously: "Our volunteers came to investigate. Although you have a disabled son at home, your disabled son has a job.
His employer pays him living allowance every month, and he has no problem with food and clothing.
You and your wife have pensions, which are not low, and they are not considered to be a poor household at all, let alone an extremely poor household."
The aunt roared at him and sprayed spittle all over his face:
"The living allowance given to my son by the factory is only enough for him to eat.
As an adult, shouldn’t he support us in our old age?
If he can't provide pension funds for us, aren't we just a very poor population?"
Everyone was shocked by her strong words.
Someone reminded the aunt angrily: "You and your wife both have pensions, who else needs to provide for you in old age?"
The aunt plausibly said: "My wife and I have pensions, and that's our business.
When our son becomes an adult, it is only natural for him to support us in his old age!"
Everyone was so angry that they didn't know what to say.
Lin Mai deliberately asked Auntie her home address and previous workplace.
The aunt didn’t know why: “Why are you asking these questions?”
Lin Maidao: "I just want to know your work and home address. When I have time, I will go to your door to investigate in person to see if your son is qualified to receive free subsidies."
The aunt hesitated for a moment and reported her home address and her previous workplace.
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay, I won't come to investigate anymore, I will just give you a spot."
The aunt was so happy that she looked at everyone with extremely proud eyes.
However, everyone present was so angry that they started making a fuss on the spot and accused Lin Mai of being unprincipled.
Lin Mai spread his hands and said helplessly: "Do you think I want to give this aunt a place?
If I don't give her a place, she will keep making trouble in our market.
Not only will we make trouble today, but we will make trouble tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We will not stop until we achieve our goal.
What do you want me to do? I have to do business to make money.
Without money, how can we help those extremely poor people in need?"
When everyone heard her words, they all sympathized with her.
It’s very difficult for a little girl to do charity at such a young age and yet people still make trouble for her.
A customer in the crowd said angrily: "Why don't we do this charity event?"
Lest those who really need help don’t get it, and those who make trouble take away the benefits!”
His words were supported by many people present.
Lin Mai pretended to be thoughtful, and then climbed up the pole: "What you said makes sense, so let's cancel this charity event."
That aunt is still unwilling to give up.
Everyone scolded her angrily: "The event has been cancelled, what else do you want?"
Lin Mai also turned cold and ordered a small cadre: "Go to the police station.
Just say that there is a customer in our vegetable market who wants to ask for supplies from us without paying a penny, and please ask the police comrades to come and deal with it."
The aunt then left cursing.
Lin Mai asked a small cadre next to him: "Why isn't Manager Tang here?"
With him here, that aunt couldn't have been in trouble for so long.
Manager Tang's ability to handle problems is quite good.
The little cadre said: "Mr. Zhao has transferred a lot of goods to the capital, and Manager Tang has arranged for manpower and vehicles to go to Shijiazhuang to pick up the goods."
Lin Mai nodded slightly.
At this time, many volunteers gathered around and asked Lin Mai unwillingly and disappointedly if he really wanted to cancel the free subsidy charity activity.
Lin Mai brought all the volunteers to Manager Tang's office.
After closing the door, he said: "The charity event cannot be cancelled. I just wanted to send that aunt away."
The expressions of the volunteers relaxed and they smiled.
Everyone said: "If Mr. Lin really gives up helping those in need because of a mouse excrement, those in need will be so pitiful!"
Lin Mai nodded: "I think so too, but I'm also really afraid that some scoundrels will come to make trouble.
Therefore, I plan to postpone this charity event for five days.
However, the door-to-door investigation was carried out as usual, just from light to dark, and secretly.
In order to prevent people like that aunt from coming to my market to cause trouble again.
You all know what I mean."
All volunteers nodded in understanding: "We understand!"
A volunteer asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, since calling the police can drive that nasty aunt away, why didn't you go to the police in the first place?"
There was a reason why Lin Maibu went to the police in the first place.
Even if she deliberately canceled the charity event in front of so many customers at the market, she had a purpose.
She was planning step by step to teach that aunt a painful lesson.
Her approach is a bit dark, so she naturally doesn't want others to know about it.
She smiled sarcastically: "I didn't think of it at the time, I thought of it only later.
Didn’t you think of using the police to scare that aunt?”
When the volunteer thought about it, his face turned red with shame.
Seeing that Lin Mai promised to continue with his charity activities, everyone was in a mood to complain about the weird things they encountered at work.
Several volunteers responsible for free home delivery said angrily.
When they carry items in large and small packages to homes that require free door-to-door delivery, some of them actually return the items.
No consideration was given to how difficult it was for them to go all the way.
There was a male classmate who fell down on the road and was covered in mud, but he wrapped the goods that the customer wanted well and they were not dirty at all.
As a result, customers kept finding faults and returning products.
Because it was cash on delivery, and people returned the goods, the volunteers had no choice but to carry them back.
Although there are very few people like this, when you meet one, you are struck not by one volunteer, but by a group of volunteers.
Anyone who is picky about returns is basically someone who cannot meet the conditions for free delivery, but they pretend to be a vulnerable group and demand delivery.
The poorer the family, the more polite they are. When volunteers deliver goods to their doorsteps, they pay immediately and keep saying thank you.
Lin Mai listened to their complaints and said, "It's all my fault for not thinking carefully.
If you encounter someone who refuses to accept goods like this in the future, you should go to the neighborhood committee aunt, the street office, their work unit, or even the media to ask for an explanation.
We cannot tolerate them, we must make them pay for their actions!”
