: Missing a pound or two

"Everyone, come and take a look. The department store is short of money and it actually does this kind of thing!"

The woman raised the object and looked at everyone and said.

"What, no wonder the pastries I bought before were so expensive. It turns out this department store still does this kind of thing."

A different voice immediately sounded in the crowd, and everyone immediately started talking about the department store.

Xu Miaomiao was surrounded by the crowd and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Dangdangdang-"

Gu Yuanniang took out a gong and drum and beat it on everyone, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted to Gu Yuanniang.

"Everyone, we will definitely give you justice in this matter, and please be patient!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started talking again, as if they didn't take Xu Miaomiao's words to heart.

“I really don’t want to come to this kind of shady shop again.”

The man who had picked out the items threw the pastries on the shelf and left in a hurry.

When everyone saw this, they put down their things and prepared to leave.

The woman who just held the scale threw the thing on the ground with disdain: "Refund!"

"You broke something and you can't return it. Besides, we are eating this, so there is no reason to return it!"

Song Weiwei explained to the woman in front of her, but the woman didn't seem to listen at all. She took Song Weiwei's abacus and refused to return it to her: "I haven't eaten yet, why don't you refund me the money? Hurry up and refund the money!"

"This is against the rules."

Song Weiwei wanted to defend, but Xu Miaomiao suddenly said: "Weiwei, return the money to her."

"But……"

"Give it back to her." Xu Miaomiao said coldly.

The woman who got the money nodded with satisfaction, and as she passed by Xu Miaomiao, she said in a secret voice: "In the future, we still have to do business openly and do less of these tricks."

Xu Miaomiao stared intently and ignored her words.

When the woman walked out triumphantly, Xu Miaomiao looked at Xu Guo beside him and said, "Follow him."

"Yes, Sister Xu."

Xuguo nodded and immediately chased the woman.

"Miaomiao, do you suspect this is a frame-up?" Gu Yuanniang asked from the side.

Xu Miaomiao remained silent and picked up the magnet on the ground: "It's impossible for this thing to grow on this scale for no reason."

As soon as he tidied up the messy store, Xu Guo ran back panting.

"How are you doing? Have you seen anyone?" Gu Yuanniang stepped forward anxiously and asked.

But Xu Guo shook his head: "I followed the woman back home and didn't find anyone."

With a crease between his brows, Xu Miaomiao lowered her head and pondered: "Is it possible that the woman didn't put this thing there?"

"There are so many people coming to the store, could it be someone else?" Song Weiwei asked tentatively.

Xu Miaomiao did not answer.

"It's also possible." Gu Yuanniang stood up and said.

"Hey, Mrs. Xu, you are all here."

Xu Qingshan walked into the store carrying large and small bags of things. He looked at everyone with angry faces and was a little curious: "What's wrong? I brought you delicious food, come and try it."

After the words fell, everyone was still unmoved.

Seeing this, Xu Qingshan touched his head in embarrassment, pulled Gu Yuanniang aside and began to ask what happened.

Gu Yuanniang whispered a few words in his ear to explain the matter clearly.

"No wonder!"

Xu Qingshan clapped his hands in sudden realization.

"What does Mr. Xu know?" Xu Miaomiao looked at him and asked.

"Yesterday, our book party was held in a restaurant. When we were passing by a house, I heard Lin Yan and the others discussing something like giving her some color."

"Who else besides Lin Yan?"

"And that one..."

Xu Qingshan lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying: "The shopkeeper of Drunken Crab Shop, the door was ajar at that time. I also saw the shopkeeper of Drunken Crab Shop giving Lin Yan a sum of money."

"No wonder they came to us directly and said those things. It turns out there was a collusion!"

Song Weiwei slapped the table angrily.

As soon as everyone heard Xu Qingshan finish talking about this, they saw a guy coming to the door. They recognized him as the person who came with Lin Yan yesterday. Song Weiwei pointed a stick at him: "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and give it to me."

roll."

"Madam, don't be anxious." Looking at Song Weiwei's angry look, Xiao Si took a step back, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said: "My husband-in-law said that Madam Xu's business will not be easy these days, so I

Let me ask, have you made up your mind? Do you want to give in to this store or not?"

"No!" Gu Yuanniang took the stick from Song Weiwei's hand and looked at the man in front of her angrily: "Get out! You dirty thing!"

"Yes, get out of here," Song Weiwei also said from the side.

Xu Miaomiao stopped the impulsive Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei, and said to Xiao Si in front of her: "Go back and tell your husband, if you have any tricks at your disposal, to make us admit defeat, it's impossible!"

Xiaosi glanced at Xu Miaomiao and turned to leave.

"correct!"

After Xiaosi left, Xu Qingshan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Lin Yan's son is educated in our academy, how about we start with him?"

"It's not bad for me." Gu Yuanniang said in agreement: "Qingshan is his wife, it will definitely be more convenient for Qingshan to talk about this matter."

"No." Xu Miaomiao shook her head and immediately rejected the idea. She looked at him and said, "This is a matter between us adults. It must not involve the children."

Xu Qingshan and Gu Yuanniang were silent for a while.

Song Weiwei picked up a basket and handed it to Xu Miaomiao: "Go and deliver some food to the military camp first, otherwise it will be too late."

Xu Miaomiao took her things and walked out the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Nangong Jin had been waiting for a long time.

Xu Miaomiao took out the things and put them on the table while chatting with Nangong Jin: "I have improved these things a bit and eliminated things that may cause allergies. They are safer to eat."

Nangong Jin stared at her profile and remained silent.

"What are you looking at me for?" After putting everything away, Xu Miaomiao looked at the man who was staring at her in a daze and asked.

The stunned Nangong Jin withdrew his eyes and said to Xu Miaomiao: "I heard recently that your shop is not peaceful. Do you need my help?"

She also wanted Nangong's help, but Nangong Jin was a military general and a member of a noble family. If things went wrong, the matter would be even more serious. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao shook her head.

"Don't worry, no matter what, the food supply in your military camp will be indispensable."

"That's not what I meant." Nangong Jin said subconsciously.

"I understand you want to help me." Xu Miaomiao looked at him and said.
