The Farming Saint in the Starry Wasteland
Chapter 196 You Crazy Woman
Finis
At that moment, a middle–aged woman finally made it to the front and quickly called out he order. “Boss, give me 100 potatoes and 100 sweet potatoes!”
Elizabeth counted fast and said the total, “Potatoes are 360 each, so 100 is 36,000. Sweet potatoes are 900 each, so 100 is 90,000. Altogether, that’s 126,000 stellar coins.”
(
“Got it!” The woman paid right away without any hesitation. In the next second, 126,000 stell coins went through.
That scene hit Hannah like another slap.
She stared at those simple potatoes and sweet potatoes, still a bit dirty, then at the 120,000–pl that was paid so easily. Her eyes filled with disbelief.
How could something so cheap–looking sell for that much?
Are these people crazy?
She suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Elizabeth, and shouted in a sharp, shaky voice, “Eliza! This is too much! If you really can’t make it out here, then come home! Dad and Mom might be mad, but they would never abandon you! But how could you scam people like this?!”
Only then did Elizabeth look at her, her eyes cold. “Who did I scam?”
“You’re still denying it?!” Hannah looked heartbroken. “You must be using the Hewitts‘ name to sell these worthless potatoes and sweet potatoes at crazy prices! This is fraud! This is wrong! You’re ruining the Hewitts‘ reputation!”
Thinking she had found Elizabeth’s weak spot, she sounded full of confidence.
Then, instead of talking to Elizabeth, she turned to the people in line. Her face changed into one full of guilt and tears, and she bowed deeply. “Guys, I’m really sorry. I apologize for my sister. She… she went through some things before, and her mental state isn’t very stable. That’s why she did something so dishonest. Please forgive her this time, for everything she’s been through!”
She raised her head, eyes wet, then turned back to Elizabeth and said earnestly, “Eliza, return everyone’s money. We can’t do something this shameful. It’s not too late if you stop now!”
Everyone in line–from the burly man to the middle–aged woman to all the others–looked at Hannah like she was crazy.
Some frowned. Some curled their lips. Some even sneered.

Chapter 196 You Crazy Woman
But Hannah thought they were shocked by the “truth” she had exposed.
So she kept going, making her voice sound even more sincere. “I know you’re all paying such high prices because of the Hewitts. But I need to tell you the truth. My sister isn’t liked in the Hewitts at all! They won’t take responsibility for anything like this! So please return the good and get your money back. The Hewitts won’t trouble any of you. I promise!”
As she spoke, she actually reached out and tried to grab the bag of potatoes and sweet potato from the middle–aged woman, trying to force her to return them.
“What the hell are you doing?!” The woman exploded and shoved Hannah hard.
She was strong, while Hannah was wearing heels. Caught off guard, Hannah screamed and stumbled backward.
Luckily, Zachary caught her, or she would’ve fallen. Even so, she looked messy, and her hair was out of place.
The middle–aged woman clutched her bag tightly to herself like it was a treasure, and glared a Hannah angrily. Her spit nearly flew into Hannah’s face as she scolded, “You crazy woman! Where did you come from?!
“I waited almost two hours for these, and you want me to return them?! What are you trying to do?! You couldn’t buy any, so now you’re trying to steal mine with this dirty trick? Dream on! I you touch my stuff again, I won’t go easy on you!”
Her shout spoke for everyone.
The whole crowd exploded.
“Yeah! Where did this crazy woman come from?”
“She’s dumb and thinks everyone else is too?”
“We’ll know if Tycoon Boss’s stuff is good once we try it ourselves. No one needs her giving us a whole lecture!”
“And the Hewitts? We’re buying the food itself! What does that have to do with them?”
“She’s just jealous the business is doing so well!”
“Get lost! Stop blocking us from buying!”
A storm of angry voices and blame slammed into Hannah and Zachary.
Hannah went pale, her body trembling all over.
