Grandma had been selling her homemade eggs at the local market for many years. Every day she brought neatly collected white and brown eggs in buckets, laid by her beloved hens. Her voice rang loud and confident:
— Fresh eggs from my hens! Come closer, you won’t regret it!
A young woman approached the stall, smiled, and took a dozen.
— God bless you, grandma, — she said and walked away, pressing the bag to her chest.
Grandma barely had time to catch her breath when the local troublemaking guy appeared. Everyone knew him: arrogant, unemployed, loved to cause scandals.
— So, old lady, you gonna sell me your eggs at my price, huh? — he smirked.
— I’m already giving them almost for free… — grandma answered quietly, trying not to get into an argument.
— At my price! Or I’ll take them for nothing! — the guy raised his voice.
The old woman threw up her hands, and her eyes filled with tears.
— Son, don’t hurt me… My husband is sick, he’s waiting at home. I don’t even have bread to give him…
But he, as if deaf, clenched his fists and angrily grabbed the bucket of eggs. He threw it at the wall — whites and yolks dripped down the stones. Grandma screamed:
— Lord, why are you doing this! Take it, take it, just don’t break anything else! I worked for hours…
The guy smirked and reached for the other bucket, intending to take it away.
At that moment, a man in a sharp suit approached the stall. He stood out at the market — well-dressed, confident, with an expensive watch on his wrist. He stopped, looking at the scene. And what the man in the suit did shocked everyone 😱😨

“Put the bucket back,” the man said calmly but firmly to the guy.
“And what’s it to you?” the bully snapped, but the man stepped closer.
The man took out his wallet, counted several large bills, and placed them right into the grandmother’s trembling hand.
“I’m buying all your eggs. Even the ones that broke. Consider this your record sales day.”
People around gasped. The grandmother couldn’t believe her eyes, only whispered:
“God sent you…”
The bully tried to run away from the market, but the man stopped him.
“Wait. You like taking things for free, don’t you?” he asked.
The guy stayed silent, looking away.
“Then I’ll make sure everyone knows what kind of ‘hero’ you are.”
He loudly called his bodyguard. In front of the crowd, the man explained how the guy smashed the bucket of eggs and humiliated the old woman.
The bodyguard — a big, muscular man — twisted the bully’s arms behind his back and dragged him out under whistles and disapproving shouts of the customers.
From that day on, the path to the market was closed for the bully. No one wanted anything to do with him.
