Turning my head, I saw an old woman in her seventies or eighties standing there.

She just rushed out from the roadside and was about to crash into the front of the car.

He Zhenzhen, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back and yelled, "Hey, old woman, what's wrong with you? It's always been cars hitting people, when have you ever seen a person hit a car? How can you be so irrational at your age!"

He Zhenzhen was still naive.

Then she was speechless and incredulous.

The old woman, who had been somewhat dazed, immediately staggered over after hearing what He Zhenzhen said, and silently walked to the front of the motorcycle.

She rubbed her knee against the car wheel to test it, then tilted her body and fell to the ground.

Then she let out a painful scream.

"Someone's been hit and killed! Someone's been hit and killed! Everyone come quick, this young man hit me with his motorcycle! Oh dear, I'm an old man, I don't know how many bones he broke!"

"Help! Help!"

Although the road is relatively remote, there are still some people around.

Upon hearing this, they all crowded around.

He Zhenzhen got anxious, abruptly jumped off the motorcycle, took off her helmet, and glared at the old woman with even more annoyance.

"Old woman, what are you doing? How can you accuse me like that? You clearly bumped into me yourself. Luckily, my husband dodged in time and didn't hit you. How come you're walking over here and standing next to my car?"

"You...you're going too far! Bayi, what do we do now?"

Niu Bayi was both amused and exasperated.

This old woman is trying to scam me.

It's one thing to stage an accident, but to go this far is just too much.

I've already avoided you, why are you still sticking to me?

The old woman didn't care. She lay on the ground, raised her two withered and old hands, and slapped her legs hard.

"Oh dear, you've hit and killed me. You'll be facing a murder charge... If you don't want to face a murder charge, you'd better pay up quickly."

He Zhenzhen became even more furious.

"You were the one who walked over and fell here, how did it become that I ran you over and killed you? I say, old woman, do you have no shame at all?"

The old woman continued to wail.

"I'm already dead, what use is my pride? Everyone come quick, help me! This young man hit me and killed me, and they're even cursing at me and don't want to pay compensation!"

"This is outrageous! Is there no law? Is there no justice?"

He yelled so loudly it sounded like he was banging a broken gong, and people gathered around in twos and threes, pointing and whispering.

He Zhenzhen became anxious.

"We really didn't bump into her. She deliberately rushed at us at first. My husband dodged, but she still tried to get close and just fell down without us even touching her!"

The old woman spoke with conviction.

"What do you mean you didn't even touch me? I was lying right next to your car, would I risk my life? I was crossing the street when you hit me!"

"I fell so hard."

"Please, everyone, help me! Don't let the person who hit me get away with it, and don't let the person who was hit suffer even more!"

That old woman, she's really good at talking nonsense!

Just then, a woman in her forties in the crowd shouted.

"Grandma, do you think everyone else is blind? I saw it clearly. That person was riding a motorcycle perfectly fine on the road, and you crashed into them yourself."

"Luckily, the young man was quick-witted and swerved the car around, avoiding hitting you!"

"You even rubbed against it, falling right next to the front of the car! How could you do that? Aren't you afraid of being childless and having no descendants?"

Her words caused a stir among the people around her.

Everyone is blaming the old woman.

Not a single person stood up for her.

The eyes of the masses are indeed discerning!

He Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Indeed, justice resides in the hearts of the people.

She retorted to the old woman with a straight face, "Didn't you hear that? Everyone says you're wrong. What do you have to say now? Get up and get moving!"

"Seeing your age, I won't hold it against you."

Niu Bayi also offered some mild advice.

"Grandma, my wife is right. At your age, you shouldn't do this kind of thing. What if something goes wrong? Besides, what will your children think if they find out?"

"Let's go quickly."

The old woman's face turned pale and then red, revealing a hint of shame.

However, instead of getting up, she straightened her body, stretched out her two old arms, grabbed the front wheel of the motorcycle, and even pressed her whole body against it, shouting loudly.

"I don't care, you guys knocked me down. Even if a hundred thousand people say that, it doesn't matter. I was knocked down, and you have to pay me. If you don't pay me, you can pay me with a fish!"

"You have to compensate with a really big fish, at least three pounds!"

This shout amused both Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen.

He Zhenzhen started shouting.

"My goodness! I'd rather have fish than money, but why are you so greedy? A three-pound fish is nothing to us. If you begged me for one, I might give it to you, after all, you're not young anymore!"

"But if you're trying to scam me like this, and you want me to give you fish, forget three pounds, I won't even give you a three-ounce fish!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman became furious.

She held onto the front wheel of the motorcycle, tilted her head back, and slammed it hard against the wheel, making the front of the motorcycle bang loudly.

She shouted in a hoarse voice, "I don't care! You hit me, so you have to pay for three pounds of fish. Otherwise, I'm staying here and not leaving. Go ahead and run me over with your motorcycle if you dare!"

This left Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen looking at each other in bewilderment.

If the old woman were a strong and burly thug, He Zhenzhen would have rushed over without saying a word, even before Niu Bayi made a move, and punched and kicked her until she was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

But she was an old woman after all, so I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Kind-hearted people around her tried to persuade the old woman to get up and leave, but she wouldn't listen and kept shouting.

"I want fish! I want fish! I want a three-pound fish!"

Suddenly, a little girl of about six or seven years old ran over.

The little girl was dressed in tattered clothes, covered in patches, but still relatively clean. However, she looked pale and thin, almost skin and bones.

When she ran over, her face was already covered in tears.

The little girl grabbed the old woman's arm with both hands, crying and shouting.

"Grandma, get up! Let's go! Let's go! Okay? I don't want to eat fish anymore, I... I don't want to eat fish anymore, really, let's not make the older brothers and sisters pay for the fish, it's... it was our fault!"

She turned around and bowed deeply to He Zhenzhen and Niu Bayi, her foreheads almost hitting her knees.

"Big brother! Big sister! I'm sorry, it's...it's because I want to eat fish. I haven't had fish in a long time. I just passed by a small restaurant and smelled the aroma of fish soup they were making, so I said I wanted to drink fish soup."

"But Grandma didn't have money to buy me fish, so... she came up with this idea."

"It was our fault, please forgive us."

She turned her head again and pulled hard on the old woman's arm.

"Grandma, let's go, let's go, don't let people laugh at us, I really don't want to eat fish anymore."
