Chapter 403: No Apology, No Leaving
Eldie's words made the man who cut in line turn red with embarrassment. Everyone admired Eldie and understood the truth - Alexander and Ivy didn't cut in line; their child had arrived early to queue up.
Eldie spoke with authority, and Alexander and Ivy were impressed. When did their child become so articulate and clever?
Seeing Eldie in trouble, Secondie, Thirdie, Forthie, Fifthie, and Sixie rushed to help.
With a stern face, Secondie asked, "Who bullied my older sister?"
Forthie pointed at the man who cut in line, glared at him, and said, "Is it you? You called my older sister a wild child? The five of us are sextuplets with my older sister. By saying that, you have insulted all six of us together!"
With an angry tone, Thirdie demanded, "Not only did you insult us, but you also insulted our parents. Can this be tolerated?"
Rolling up his sleeves, Fifthie said, "Not only did you insult us, but you also said that my older sister has no manners! Among the six of us, my older sister is the most polite. How dare you falsely accuse her in public? Apologize to my older sister immediately! Apologize to the five of us, and apologize to our parents too!"
The man who cut in line never expected to be confronted by six children, rendering him speechless. He immediately felt the urge to escape.
Sixie, with hands on hips, blocked the man who cut in line and said, "You think you can leave without apologizing? Do you consider it a blessing that we are being polite to you? Do you think we are easy to bully? Apologize! Apologize right away!"
"Apologize! No apology, no leaving!" the six little ones chimed in unison.
The determined and adorable appearance of the six little bundles of joy melted everyone's hearts.
The entire line sided with them and advised the man who cut in line to apologize quickly.
The man's face turned red and hot. With an embarrassed expression, he faced Eldie and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally cut in line. It's just that you are too small, and I didn't see you earlier."
Eldie furrowed her eyebrows and pointed at the man who cut in line, saying, "Is this your idea of an apology? It's clearly an insult to my intelligence!
How could you not see me when I'm standing right in front of you? You deliberately crossed in front of me and handed the book to the cashier; it was intentional cutting, not an accident!
Not only did you intentionally cut in line, but you also deny it, lie about it, and insult me for being short!"
The line started buzzing with discussions.
"The child is right. Don't treat others as fools, guy who cut in line!"
"That's right, if you want to apologize, then apologize properly!"
"Not only did he cut in line, but he also bullied a child. It's unacceptable..."
The man who cut in line turned as red as his ears, wishing he could dig a hole and hide in it.
Eldie pointed at the child next to the man who cut in line and continued, "As an elder, you should lead by example. Your words and actions are being observed and learned by your child. Do you want him to become an upright and selfless towering tree, or a crooked and heartless man shunned by everyone?"
The little boy next to the man turned red and complained, "Dad, how could you bully a little girl like that?"
"What she said is absolutely right. If you want to apologize, apologize sincerely. If you don't apologize properly, I will no longer consider you as my dad!"
With these words, the man who cut in line panicked and immediately bowed ninety degrees, sincerely apologizing to Eldie, "I'm sorry, little friend. I shouldn't have cut in line, let alone lied. I was wrong!"
Then, facing the other five little girls, Alexander, and Ivy, he bowed ninety degrees once again, saying, "I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
"Well, it's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and make improvements." Eldie finished speaking and immediately waved her little hand towards Alexander and Ivy, "Daddy, Mommy, it's our turn to pay, Uncle Ethan, bring the books over quickly!"
As Ethan pulled over the small trailer with over 600 books piled up like a small mountain, everyone was stunned.
Scanning each of these hundreds of books one by one, will the bookstore be closed by then?
