"Hey, did you guys know? A new little shop just opened in our neighborhood, I think it's a Suguo supermarket, and it's really cheap, even cheaper than the farmers market!"

"Do you even need to tell me? It's closer than the wet market and cheaper. I've been buying my things there for the past couple of days!"

"The food was actually pretty good, but the waiters were terrifyingly ugly. They were also incredibly fierce and rude. I wouldn't have gone there if it weren't for the cheap price."

"But their boss is quite interesting; he occasionally invites someone to perform as Sun Wukong, and my grandson really likes this Sun Wukong!"

The two middle-aged women chatted as they walked into the fruit and vegetable supermarket in the neighborhood.

As soon as I arrived at the supermarket, I found that they had served vegetables again.

Wang Aiguo's supermarket operates on a daily basis. Apart from the vegetables that people eat most often, the remaining items are also random. Sometimes he will put tomatoes on the shelves when he receives tomatoes, and winter melons on the shelves when he receives winter melons. He will also put fruits on the shelves. If blueberries are cheap, he will also put some blueberries or strawberries on the shelves.

The advantage of this is that if you take a walk in the neighborhood, you will often come here for a stroll, and if you see something cheap, you will buy it.

When the two middle-aged women came over, Old Du was performing as Sun Wukong. Old Du is a very kind-hearted person.

When he performs, the children gather around, and he plays with them. He even carries a lot of candy with him to share with the children, so they all like him very much.

When Lao Du performs, Wang Aiguo will watch from a short distance away.

Zhao Dalong and Zhao Haitang were also by Wang Aiguo's side at this time.

"Boss, you're just making Lao Du perform in front of every store every day. He's not exactly mentally sound, isn't there a risk something might happen to him?"

After Zhao Haitang finished speaking, Zhao Dalong nodded.

"Yes, although he's not very bright, he runs all over the mountains every day and is very strong. What if he accidentally hits a child with this stick?"

Listening to the two men's conversation, Wang Aiguo continued to stare straight at Lao Du.

"A person's kindness has nothing to do with whether they are smart or not, or with their education. Some people are born kind, like Lao Du."

"Those candies weren't given to him by me; he asked me to buy them for him. He carries these candies with him every day and gives them to the children after his performances. I believe he wouldn't hurt any of the children; he's kinder than anyone else."

"Besides, I'm with you every day, right? As long as I'm here, I can handle anything that happens."

Upon hearing Wang Aiguo's words, Zhao Haitang and Zhao Dalong stared at him in shock. Indeed, without Lao Du, Wang Aiguo could theoretically have simply stayed in bed all day. But Wang Aiguo had given Lao Du a job, making him perform these things every day. Actually, these seemingly trivial performances weren't important.

But more importantly, he gave Lao Du a livelihood.

"If you really care about Lao Du, just give him money every day; you don't need to make him come out."

After Zhao Dalong finished speaking, Zhao Haitang nodded and then said.

"Yeah, how about having him wash dishes at the shop or something? I think that would be better than him going out to dance. If he goes out, you have to follow him the whole time, which seems too much trouble, right?"

"I might let him work as a waiter or wash dishes in the store after a while, that's fine, but the important thing is that he absolutely cannot do nothing. He may have a low IQ, but he's not one of those lazybones."

"Moreover, I have met his mother. She prayed to the Great Sage, hoping for his protection throughout his life. He himself also considers himself the Great Sage. Since that's the case, I will go along with him."

Just as the three were talking, Wang Aiguo suddenly saw Zhao Dalong's men arguing with an old lady in the shop next door.

Hearing the commotion, Lao Du was startled and quickly looked towards Wang Aiguo. Wang Aiguo nodded and led everyone directly to the small shop.

Upon arriving at the shop, Zhao Dalong solemnly walked up to his subordinates.

"What's wrong, Xiao Li?"

"It was them! They insisted we round down the price. He bought something for eight dollars and ninety cents, how am I supposed to round that down? Besides, the boss said we can't round down, it's our store's rule!"

After speaking, Xiao Li looked at Wang Aiguo, who nodded. Then he walked up to the two middle-aged women, and one of the women, holding something, stared at Wang Aiguo and said something.

"You're the owner of this store, huh? Boss! Let me tell you, your staff are terrible at business. What's wrong with rounding down the price of something that costs 8.9 yuan? Just make it 8 yuan, okay?"

"Exactly! What vegetable vendor doesn't offer discounts or give away free scallions or something?"

An older woman spoke up, and the other shoppers chimed in. Wang Aiguo listened quietly, while Xiao Li looked on with a wronged expression.

After all the older women had finished speaking, Wang Aiguo finally spoke up.

"Everyone, are you done speaking?"

As soon as Wang Aiguo said that, everyone at the scene fell silent, and everyone stared at Wang Aiguo. Then, Wang Aiguo took the vegetables from the old lady's hand, snatched them away, and put them in Xiao Li's hand.

"Rounding down? Pfft, round down your motherfucker!"

When Wang Aiguo spoke, not only Xiao Li, but also Zhao Dalong, Zhao Haitang, and even the aunties who came to buy groceries were shocked.

"How dare you talk like that? How dare you swear at me?"

"Who else should I yell at if not you? Didn't you see the prices clearly marked here? There's even a sign saying no rounding down or discounts allowed. Can't you see that? What are you pretending to be blind for?"

"And you, what do you mean by 'getting a discount on free scallions'? If you want free scallions, want a discount, want to round down the price, go to the market. My prices are cheaper than the market, don't you know that? What profit could I possibly make?"

"That's how my employee is; he strictly follows the rules. What are you talking about? You think you're right? Buy if you want, get out if you don't!"

After Wang Aiguo finished speaking, the middle-aged women were all shocked.

The next moment, these middle-aged women wanted to come over and continue arguing with Wang Aiguo, but Wang Aiguo didn't tolerate them. He snatched the vegetables from their hands and threw them back to Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, they don't want it. Put the vegetables back and get out of here. Take it or leave it. Do you think I need your business?"

"Listen to me clearly, if you don't want to be treated like this, go to the market and buy overpriced vegetables. I offer cheap, reasonable prices here, and you're the one who has to put up with this!"

"No service, no discounts, no gifts, just take it or leave it!"

After Wang Aiguo finished speaking, the women turned green with anger. In the end, they left one by one, gritting their teeth and cursing.

However, not every middle-aged woman left; quite a few people continued to shop there.

Just like Wang Aiguo said, it's cheap here after all.

Moreover, the quality is good and it's close to home, so why go all the way to the vegetable market? They also felt that those older women were really going too far. It was already very cheap, and they still wanted to round it down. They wanted to round down 90 cents off something that cost 8.9 yuan. They really had a dream come true.

Wang Aiguo's outburst left Zhao Dalong completely dumbfounded. It was the first time he realized that Wang Aiguo's temper wasn't actually that good.

After Wang Aiguo finished scolding, he came to Xiao Li's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid! Give these middle-aged women a piece of your mind! What are you backing down for? Discounts, huh? Buy it if you want, don't buy it if you don't! Who do you think you are? You've been through so much in jail, how come you're so soft-hearted? Just yell at them, as long as you don't lay a hand on them!"
