Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 427: A Chance Encounter

The man with the baseball cap was stunned.

But after seeing Tuanzi’s appearance clearly, he regained his calm.

A little girl of only five or six years old, seemingly naive and temporarily helping her family take care of the store.

If it weren’t for the possibility that the girl might scream and shout if he ran away, he certainly wouldn’t even pay for the rest of the items.

"Just these, hurry up and settle the bill."

The man pointed to the few items he placed on the counter.

"Hurry up."

Tuanzi puffed out her cheeks, does this person think she’s blind?

[Ancient Martial System: No, he thinks you’re young and easy to bully. Moreover, most people are not qualified to search others]

Not easy to bully, Tuanzi carefully studied the man, reaching out with her pudgy hands, ready to sweep some palm wind to knock the items he hid out, to see how he would continue to lie.

It was at this moment that a few more people entered from outside.

The man with the baseball cap turned his head to see a few adult men, he hadn’t thought of a countermeasure before seeing these men walk to the curtain or the cabinet.

When they lifted the curtain or opened the cabinet door, he saw the cameras inside.

Baseball cap man: "?"

"Uncle, take out the items in your arms and let’s settle the bill."

Tuanzi firmly patted the counter, drawing the attention of the man with the baseball cap.

"Hurry up."

The man realized this was a show being filmed, but he had no idea!

It’s highly likely that the cameras were directed at him while moving around the shelves; his seemingly secret actions might have been seen by many people.

The man with the baseball cap didn’t dare to bet.

"Now that you mention it, I remember."

The man tried to remain calm and said, "I couldn’t carry many things with both hands, and there were too many to buy, so..."

He took out the few items he had hidden.

The system immediately quoted the price, avoiding having Tuanzi run to the shelves to check.

Tuanzi widened her eyes.

[Miaomiao: These aren’t expensive either. He just took out his wallet, there were several red bills inside, why try to steal these?]

[Ancient Martial System: Probably a spur-of-the-moment decision, no adults in the store, and you’re just a kid, even taking ten yuan worth of items for free is getting an advantage]

Not only that, Tuanzi couldn’t call the police.

The other party took out the hidden items and gave a reasonable explanation. Furthermore, the items taken were very cheap.

The system explained in detail, and Tuanzi dismissed the idea of calling the police, depressingly settling the bill and giving the man change.

Before the change was handed out, the system reminded her to check if the bills were counterfeit.

Tuanzi was baffled.

She didn’t know how to identify fake bills!

[Ancient Martial System: In that small box on the counter, there are tools to verify bills]

Tuanzi followed the system’s instructions, slowly verifying the bills, confirming they were real before handing over the change.

Being suspected of using fake bills made the man with the baseball cap somewhat angry, but since he tried to cheat first, he grabbed the change and walked out without a particularly friendly expression.

[He wanted to steal things, yet he pulls this expression, does he have any shame]

[Really opened my eyes]

[No need to say that, if I were buying something and someone suspected me of using fake bills, checking them incessantly, I’d be angry too]

[To the one before, firstly, I advise you not to empathize with thieves, secondly, bill verification generally targets the bill, not the person. Some people are honest and don’t intend to use fake bills but might be unaware and fall for deception. If someone verifies your bills, you shouldn’t feel offended as it’s not personal]

[Why not call the police? The show crew just watched?]

[Not much money, hard to justify calling the police, and the other party’s reasons are substantial, really can’t do anything about them]

[Isn’t this arranged by the program crew? How convenient for these incidents to happen in a single day, first someone purposely didn’t pay, and now someone tries to take others’ things. No need to fabricate drama just for viewing points, and did Gu Miaomiao get the script?]

The director noticed the similar comments and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The theme ’Kids in Charge’ was risky enough, where would he find extra energy to have someone write a script? Even if a script was written, the kids wouldn’t cooperate! Did these netizens think of the young guests as veteran actors? Smearing the show also requires some logic!

So far, it’s all about the kids improvising freely. As for the few sudden events, they really were just that.

Such events are quite common in real life.

Tuanzi hadn’t encountered similar situations much before, now as a little boss she faced them, inevitably feeling a bit down.

"Isn’t it good to be honest? Petty theft now, could lead to worse things in the future."

She leaned her chin on her hands, the soft cheeks spilling out from her palms like a split dumpling, her bright black eyes glaring at the door in dissatisfaction, as if the man was still there.

[Ancient Martial System: If he keeps doing such things, he’ll eventually face the consequences, just don’t learn from him]

Tuanzi nodding vigorously, her forehead almost hitting the counter.

As she lifted her head again, more people appeared at the door.

"Welcome!" she immediately shouted excitedly.

Earning money makes her happy!

Leading the group was a young man in his twenties, surprised to find that the little supermarket’s owner was a little girl, he exclaimed, "How come it’s a kid? Where are your parents?"

"Uh-huh, right now Miaomiao and her brothers and sisters are the bosses. Feel free to browse and buy, Miaomiao won’t make any mistakes with the bills."

They were even more surprised, "The kids piled up sleeping at the door are also the bosses?"

Tuanzi proudly nodded.

"They’re sleeping, so Miaomiao is watching the store alone, but they’ll wake up soon."

The twins were already awake, rubbing their sleep-heavy eyes and wobbling into the supermarket.

The group had already spread out looking for things to eat.

Tuanzi eagerly jumped off the stool, ready to offer recommendations.

[Miaomiao: More people means more money!]

[Ancient Martial System: Before that, can you take a careful look at the person standing in the instant noodle area?]

Tuanzi tilted her head, not quite understanding the system’s words.

When she wandered over for a look, "Oh?"

Among those who came in was her cousin Gu Zhuo.

She didn’t recognize him, did he not recognize her either?

"Cousin, you..."

She strode over, but before getting close, she saw Gu Zhuo subtly waving, seeming not to want to be acknowledged.

Her little head drooped immediately.

[Miaomiao: Why doesn’t cousin want to acknowledge me? Is he ashamed of me?]

[Ancient Martial System: Maybe it’s because there are cameras]

The system doesn’t quite understand human emotions, but it excels at learning, at unraveling events to reach accurate conclusions.

[Ancient Martial System: Do you remember ’Mountain Patrol Journey’? Jin Chunting was on that show too, but didn’t he say not to call him cousin in front of the cameras?]

Tuanzi nodded her little head in frustration.

[Ancient Martial System: Not letting you call him in front of the cameras is mainly to avoid bringing you trouble]

It explained in detail.

At that time, Tuanzi’s real brother was accompanying her on the show, the eldest senior brother was part of the security, and if even the veterinarian was linked to Tuanzi, netizens would certainly start speculating, saying many things that could hurt Tuanzi.

The same logic applies now, if the person shopping was Tuanzi’s cousin, wouldn’t some netizens think Tuanzi was trying to steal the show?

Gu Zhuo seemed silly and shy, but doing this showed he was paying attention to online comments.

[Ancient Martial System: Quite the opposite, he probably cares about you a lot to do this intentionally]
