Bad Apple Update

So I just went back to the stand where I bought the bad apples last night. I was coming home from a long day of school/Chinese physical therapy so I was too lazy to go up to my apartment and pick up the bad apples, so I went straight there. I went a little cautiously to check out the scene first- I didn't really remember what the guy looked like since it was dark and I didn't want to accuse the wrong person. Well when I got there the nut vendor was there and I heard him start saying something about apples to the vendor next to him so I knew I had found them. My Chinese was way too limited to have an actual conversation about what had happened besides telling them "2 bad apples yesterday" but the nut vendor and his buddies seemed like they were trying to help me out. There was a woman with the bad-apple vendor today and she was doing most of the talking. I told her "I want money" and rubbed my thumb against my pointer and middle finger (I hope that is also the sign for money here lol...). Then a big commotion occurred for a while and I had no idea what anyone was saying so I just observed. Finally, I was rescued by a nearby Chinese man who spoke a pretty decent amount of English. I told him what happened and he talked to the nut vendors a bit then asked me where my evidence was. I told him that it was in my apartment and asked him if I should get it. He said no, the people still wouldn't give me my money back lol. I tried to get him to talk to the apple vendors for me but he said he was just an outsider hahhah. Well I was pretty much just laughing through this whole mess but I definitely did not win my case. The guy then helped me buy some nuts from my friends and buy some good apples from another vendor. So all in all I guess things turned out okay!
