As soon as she finished speaking, the clerk rushed to Lin Jiuniang, reached out and snatched the satin back, patted the non-existent dust on the fabric, and began to curse. Lin Jiuniang's eyes turned cold, and anger was slowly creeping into her eyes.
.The cloth is placed here for people to see, isn't it? "Li Er, I asked you to prepare the cloth. Where is it?"
Just when Lin Jiuniang was about to speak, she was interrupted by a voice, and then a fat figure rushed in clumsily from the door. "Boss, we are ready, here."
The clerk, Li Er, smiled and held the cloth and brought it forward. The visitor was Dong Dacheng, the owner of the auspicious cloth shop, known as Fatty Dong. He was relieved when he saw the cloth and was about to ask him to get two more ordinary ones.
When he was removing the linen, his face suddenly became cold. His fat palm slapped Li Er's face unceremoniously, and with a snap, a five-fingered mountain was immediately left on Li Er's face. Li Er felt hurt, but
But he didn't dare to ask why the other person hit him. He just held his face in pain from the slap and asked cautiously, "Boss, what's wrong? What did I do wrong?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"
Fatty Dong pointed to the lower right corner of the piece of cloth, his face full of anger, "Look for yourself, tell me, what is this? Don't you know how expensive this cloth is? And this
I'm going to give this piece of fabric to someone, but you dare to dirty it? You're looking for death."
As he said that, he kicked Li Er angrily. If this silk satin is dirty, it cannot be washed clean. Li Er was surprised and quickly ran away, "It's unfair, boss, it wasn't me when I took it down..."
"Then he quickly pointed to Lin Jiuniang and his daughter who were standing aside, "Boss, it's them. I took out this piece of silk and satin and put it on the counter. They just picked it up and looked at it."
"Boss, it must be them who made it dirty, not me."
Lin Jiuniang's face darkened instantly as she was innocently being splashed with dirty water. Liu Sanni was young and energetic, so naturally she couldn't bear this anger. "You put it here, and you didn't say you couldn't take it for a look, so we picked it up and looked at it. Why did it change?"
Did we make it dirty?"
Li Er felt guilty, thinking of his boss's cruelty, and shook his head violently, "I told you, you didn't listen clearly and took it and made it dirty."
"Boss, they are the ones who made the mess, it's them."
Fatty Dong had a sullen face and glanced at Liu Sanni with disdain. She was dressed in rags and she could tell at a glance that she was a poor person with no money. He immediately said directly, "This piece of silk is worth eight taels. Since you have soiled it, naturally
We need compensation. Look at how poor you are, just pay five taels of silver."
This was clearly a frame-up! Liu Sanni was angry. Sure enough, the boss of Jixiang Cloth Shop was not a good person. She was about to argue, but was stopped by Lin Jiuniang. "Mom, they are clearly taking us for granted."
"I know, don't say anything," Lin Jiuniang shook her head at her, then looked at Fatty Dong, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth: "Compensate for fifty taels?"
Fatty Dong nodded, with a look of arrogance and disdain on his face, "This fabric is Luo Yun silk produced by the Qian family in Jiangnan. Five taels of silver is quite cheap."
"Just because of the Qian family name you mentioned, you are asking for five taels of silver for this ordinary piece of silk?"
Lin Jiuniang sneered. If the pattern and color were not suitable for a little girl, she would not see it. It is true that this is silk, but there are grades in silk and satin. The silk and satin in the other person's hand is obviously ordinary silk and satin, no more than one or two at most.
Half a silver. She asked for five taels when she asked. She was clearly being taken advantage of. Fatty Dong looked contemptuous and said, "I have the final say on the things in my shop, so I'm asking you, will you pay for it?"
"No compensation!"
Lin Jiuniang sneered, her eyes fell on the dirty cloth, and the corner of her mouth raised a hint of ridicule. "No compensation?"
Fatty Dong became vicious, "You can try it."
When those mouse-like eyes fell on Liu Sanni, a lustful evil flashed through her eyes. Then, an evil smile appeared on her face, "I don't think you can afford it. Don't say that I, Dong Dacheng, am not good enough."
It's easy to say, let's do this. If you can't come up with so much money, then mortgage your girl to work for me. The money she earns will pay me back for the fabric, or if you raise enough money, I will
How about just letting her go?"
"You're dreaming," Liu Sanni's face turned dark with anger and she hid behind her mother, this shameless person. "Then you'll pay. If you don't pay, you won't be able to walk out of here today." Fatty Dong sneered and asked Li Er to arrest him.
. She was just a pretty little girl, so he was afraid of her. A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Jiuniang's lips. Did she want to rob Liu Sanni? She opened Li Er's hands with a slap, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes. She wanted him to steal the chicken.
If you want to trick her, is she, Lin Jiuniang, so easy to trick? "Do you want to?"
Lin Jiuniang took out an ingot of silver worth about ten taels from her arms and slapped it on the counter, "If I can't prove that I didn't stain this piece of silk, I'll give you this ingot of silver. If I can prove that this piece of silver is not stained by me, I'll give it to you."
The cloth was stained by someone else, so as compensation, how about giving me this piece of cloth and the three pieces of coarse cloth over there?"
Fatty Dong's eyes showed a hint of greed. He didn't need to think about this bet, he knew it was worth the gamble. Thinking of Bai's ten taels of silver, Fatty Dong agreed without hesitation, without noticing the drastic change in Li Er's expression. Lin Jiuniang smiled,
She raised her eyebrows and asked Liu Sanni to go outside and invite a few people to come in to testify. After the people were invited, they were not afraid that they would default on their debts. Lin Jiuniang asked him to directly show the stained areas on the silk and satin, and then kicked him several times and tried to run away.
The boy Li Er, who had been dragged back by him, kicked him in front of him. He sneered, "If you're not blind, you can see for yourself."
Fatty Dong glanced at Li Er with an impatient look on his face, "Where's the evidence?"
"Li Er, what kind of evidence is this? If you can't produce any evidence, then the money is mine."
As he said that, he greedily reached out to get the money. Bang! Lin Jiuniang slapped him hard without hesitation. She was very satisfied when she saw the other person screaming in pain. "You are indeed blind," Lin Jiuniang said before he could speak.
, said sarcastically without politeness. Not bothering to talk nonsense, he directly grabbed Li Er’s hand and showed it to him. Seeing that he was still blind, he then pulled the hem of Li Er’s clothes to show him. The large oil stain was just like the cloth.
The ones on the clothes were exactly the same. They were left by Li Er wiping them on his clothes after eating. When Fatty Dong saw the exact same oil stains, his face darkened and he wanted to quibble, but Li Er had not wiped off the oil stains on his hands.
He had no way to defend himself. He was so angry that he picked up the chicken feather blanket next to him and beat Li Er hard. Li Er was beaten until he screamed. Lin Jiuniang didn't care about this. She got her money back and then
Liu Sanni and Liu Sanni each held two pieces of fabric and were about to go out. Fatty Dong naturally refused. He let go of Li Er and rushed over to stop him, with a sullen face: "This doesn't count, you can't take away my fabric!
"
Lin Jiuniang's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Why, are you willing to gamble rather than admit defeat?"
"Let me tell you, in my place, Lin Jiuniang, no one who makes a bet with me dares to go back on his word."
"What!"
Fatty Dong looked horrified, "You, are you Lin Jiuniang?"
Lin Jiuniang, the most vicious and evil woman in Anle Town? Why is she in his shop? Lin Jiuniang sneered, as if declaring, "In three months, I want your Jixiang Clothing Store to close down!"
