"What you said is really funny. This is a thief and a robber! If she stole something from your house, would you still be so generous? Just show some respect? Then according to you, if she stole your money, you should just show some respect and not hold her responsible!"

An indignant female voice rang out from the crowd, and a young woman in a red ski suit squeezed in.

The person who came was Wang Kexin, the customer who bought Jiang Yue’s first ski suit on the first day she launched her new products, and also Jiang Yue’s good friend.

"What are you talking about, female comrade! If she steals money from my family, I definitely cannot let her go!" The person who spoke rolled his eyes.

"You are so funny. You hold her accountable if she steals your money, but why can't the owner of the clothing store be held accountable if she steals clothes from the clothing store? Your money is money, but the clothes in the clothing store are not bought with money? The feelings are not yours, so how can you be so generous?" Wang Kexin scolded him, making the man blush.

The man couldn't hold back his expression and snorted, "I'm magnanimous, unlike you women who are petty!"

Wang Kexin smiled. She did not argue with the man. She raised her voice and shouted, "Everyone heard it, right? If you need anything in the future, don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the agency store to buy it. Go directly to this big brother's house to get it. This big brother is so generous, he will definitely not make a fuss about it!"

The man got anxious when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about, woman? Why do you have to come to my house to get something when you need it? My money is not blown by the wind!"

He quickly said to the crowd, "Don't listen to her!"

"Lao Yang, my family has no vegetables for lunch. I saw your family bought meat this morning. You are so generous, please give me some!" someone in the crowd said loudly.

Lao Yang turned around and walked away, "No way! If you want to eat meat, go buy it yourself! Don't try to take advantage of me!"

Seeing Lao Yang running so fast as if a dog was chasing him, the crowd burst into laughter.

"Thank you!" Jiang Yue smiled gratefully at Wang Kexin. Although it was a small matter, she was still very touched that Wang Kexin stood up and spoke for her.

"What are you thanking me for!" Wang Kexin glared at Jiang Yue.

After being interrupted by the man, everyone's attention was once again focused on Li Dahong.

Li Dahong had been held up by the police. Her legs were shaking like noodles. When she saw everyone was looking at her, she started shaking even harder. Two lines of snot were running down her nose and her teeth were chattering. "Woo woo, please have pity on me. I have old people above me and young children to take care of..."

"Just because I have elderly parents and young children to take care of doesn't give you the excuse to rob and extort money!" Wang Kexin rebuked righteously.

"Take him away!" Director Shen said.

"Woo wow!" Li Dahong howled even louder. "My blind mother is still waiting for me at home. I have five younger brothers and sisters who are counting on me for support! My mother is so seriously ill. If she knew that I was arrested by the police, she would definitely be furious. If my mother died, I would never be at peace in my life..."

Li Dahong's howl made some people feel sympathy for her again, "She sounds quite pitiful..."

"Hey, with the situation at home, it's not easy for this female comrade!"

However, with the previous example of Old Yang who sympathized with Li Dahong and was chased away, although several people looked reluctant at this moment, no one said it to her face.

In fact, Jiang Yue was a little hesitant at this time. Although she didn't really believe what Li Dahong said, she did not rule out the possibility that it was true. If Li Dahong really had a blind mother at home, she would be so angry about this matter that she died——

Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye, wanting to ask for his opinion. It wasn't that she was too sanctimonious, but she didn't want to push people into a desperate situation. Sometimes it is better to believe something than not to believe it.

When Gu Ye saw Jiang Yue looking at him, he shook his head at her.

Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows. Gu Ye meant that everything Li Dahong said was false?

"Hey? Isn't this Li Dahong? What happened to you? Why were you arrested by the police?" At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a surprised voice, and then a person squeezed in from the crowd.

Li Dahong was howling when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She didn't even have time to stop crying and hurriedly lowered her head and tried to pull up her collar to cover her face.

"Does this lady know Li Dahong?" Jiang Yue asked.

"I recognize her. We live next door to her house in a big yard. What did she do wrong?" The older sister who came had obviously just arrived and didn't know what had just happened. When she saw Li Dahong being handcuffed by the police, she looked nervous.

Enthusiastic onlookers told the elder sister Li Dahong that she had bought new ski suits from a clothing store at a low price, wore them for a while and now deliberately cut them into pieces to blackmail the clothing store.

"Okay, Li Dahong, so this is how you got that new dress. How dare you show off in the yard every day? I'm going to tell your mother when I get back that you stole that dress. I'll see if your mother doesn't break one of your legs!" The eldest sister was so angry after hearing this that she immediately said she would go back and complain.

Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and asked casually, "Sister, isn't Li Dahong's mother seriously ill and lying in bed? How could you break her leg?"

The eldest sister said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense here? Li Dahong's mother is in good health and can eat three bowls of rice in one meal! Who said she was seriously ill and couldn't get up from the bed! I'm going to go back and tell Li Dahong's mother to tear that person's mouth apart!"

"Oh——" Jiang Yue drew out the tone and glanced at Li Dahong from the corner of her eye. She saw that Li Dahong's head was almost shrunk into his big cotton-padded jacket, and his eyes kept glancing over here, and it was obvious that he looked guilty.

Jiang Yue asked again: "Then this lady is indeed in good health, but I heard from Li Dahong that she has five younger brothers and sisters at home who are all relying on her to support them——"

"What? Five brothers and sisters?" The eldest sister was shocked. "Li Dahong only has one brother, and he got married a long time ago. How did she get five brothers and sisters?"

"Li Dahong! Is this how you lie to people outside?" the eldest sister roared in anger.

"Aunt Zhang, I know I was wrong. I was just possessed by the devil for a moment. Please help me plead with the police and ask them not to arrest me. Otherwise, my mother will beat me to death if she finds out!" Li Dahong whimpered softly.

At this time, the crowd was spitting at Li Dahong, "This female comrade is full of nonsense, not a single word of truth!"

"I just felt sorry for her, but it turns out everything she said was a lie!"

"Yeah, I just wanted to plead for her. Fortunately, I didn't say anything, otherwise I would be the one who is embarrassed now!"

“…”

Jiang Yue didn't expect that things would take such a turn. The corners of her mouth were twitching at this moment. She was almost fooled by Li Dahong just now.

It seems that we should not let our compassion get out of hand!

After understanding what happened, Sister Zhang said to Jiang Yue sincerely, "Miss, this is indeed Li Dahong's fault. I will go back to find her mother and her brother and sister-in-law, make up the money for the clothes, and let Li Dahong apologize to you. Can you please not let her go to the police station? She is not married yet. If she goes to jail, she will have trouble finding her husband!"

Sister Zhang took out another seven or eight yuan from her pocket and said, "This is all the money I have on me. Leave it here for now. I'll go back and find her mother!"

Director Shen meant that it would be best if both parties could settle the matter privately, and Jiang Yue immediately agreed.
