After all, apart from giving Zhang Lan some power in the department store, she really couldn't think of any other connection between the two of them.

"Even if your Su family doesn't lack bicycles, can't Lan Guoer help others to ask my mother-in-law?

Everyone knows that Lan Guoer was brought back from the countryside, and her husband's family is full of peasants from the mountains! Isn't it common for her to be the one to cause trouble? "

Thinking of Lan Guoer who grew up in the countryside, Meng Jiao suddenly felt confident. She raised her chin, her eyes full of contempt.

"You're right!" a neighbor said, empathizing with her.

"These poor relatives from the countryside are just like those cats! As soon as they smell the slightest fishy smell, they can't wait to pounce on it.

If you don't help him, he will say that you despise the poor and love the rich, forget your roots, and look down on others now that you are successful!

But if you help him once, he'll keep coming back to you every other day, even for the smallest of problems! It's really hard to deal with him!"

Then someone echoed,

"That's right! They say you should keep your eyes open when looking for a partner. You mustn't get involved with anyone from this remote area. There might be a lot of people who are holding you back!"

Meng Jiao saw that everyone was leaning towards her side again. She sneered, looked at Lan Guoer, and continued,

“Although the bicycle was broken before it even reached your hands, if it wasn’t for helping you, my mother-in-law would never have brought the bicycle home, let alone gotten into this trouble!

Tell me, is it wrong for me to come to you and seek justice? I can't let you take all the benefits and let my family bear the losses, right? "

As she spoke, Meng Jiao pretended to wipe away her tears, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

"That bicycle is our family's food allowance for half a year! Everyone, come and judge for yourself, is this the way Lan Guoer behaves? She is trying to make our family unable to survive! Woo woo~"

Lan Guoer finally figured out what Meng Jiao was talking about!

But she never asked Zhang Lan to buy her a bicycle!

She needs a bicycle? Isn't that a joke?

Any bicycle she picks up from her space can be called the "Bugatti" FRW of the bicycle world, right?

Even if she asked someone for help, could she, Zhang Lan, get it?

Was it that Third Master wasn't resourceful enough? Or was it that Master Wu's connections weren't wide enough? What did Meng Jiao think of the Su family? Could it be that the power they held wasn't even comparable to that of a small department store manager?

Lan Guoer shook her head. No wonder the ancients said that it is better to compete with the wise than to argue with the villain!

If she had argued with her before, she would have said a few words to her, but now she simply didn't bother to argue with her at all!

"Since you said that I asked your mother-in-law to do something for you, then this is a matter between me and your mother-in-law.

As for what happened, let your mother-in-law, the person involved, explain it to everyone clearly!

If it is really my fault, Lan Guoer, I am willing to compensate your family tenfold for their losses!"

"Ten times! Wow~"

One could almost hear the sound of gasps from the crowd, and discussions followed one after another.

"Even if it's just one dollar, ten times that is ten dollars! Besides, judging by what the Zhao family's wife said, it's a pretty big sum! I'm afraid the Su family girl must be so angry that she's losing her mind, right?"

"Oh! It's just something I said in anger, how can I take it seriously?"

"I can't just say this casually. Everyone is listening. If the Zhao family's daughter-in-law takes it seriously, what can she do?"

......

Although everyone was worried about Lan Guoer, they also seemed to have expected that she would lose, which made Lan Guoer very helpless.

Meng Jiao was extremely happy at this moment.

She was already calculating in her mind, ten times! How much would that be?

Judging from what Zhang Lan said, her family's losses this time were at least fifty or sixty yuan! Ten times that would be five or six hundred yuan!

With this money, why would she worry about not having money to buy a house?

"You said that yourself! If this is your fault, you must compensate my family tenfold for the damage!"

Meng Jiao never thought that she had wronged Lan Guoer!

After all, Zhang Lan said in person that the bicycle belonged to Lan Guoer, so this matter was naturally related to her.

She must seize this opportunity to prove her point.

"I said it, so I will admit it!

Isn't this happening in front of so many aunties? If you really don't believe it, we can also write it down as a proof!"

After several contacts with Zhang Lan, Lan Guoer had some understanding of her character. She intuitively felt that she was not the kind of person who would lie for a little profit.

Moreover, even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in collusion, she had a way to make them tell the truth.

"But if you're being unreasonable and wrongly accusing me... Comrade Meng, how do you think you're going to handle this?"

Lan Guoer looked at her with a faint smile in her eyes.

But when Meng Jiao saw this smile, her heart skipped a beat, as if a huge rock had fallen down with a clang, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. She even began to doubt whether she had really wronged her.

But when she thought of the tenfold compensation that Lan Guoer mentioned, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart!

She comforted herself by thinking that this woman was just trying to scare her with money so that she would keep quiet!

She wouldn't fall for her trick!

Moreover, she wanted to let her see what it meant to be too clever by half!

She is determined to get the ten times compensation today!

"For the sake of fairness! If Comrade Meng has wronged my Guo'er, he must compensate her tenfold!

If you really calculate it carefully, my Guoer is actually at a loss! After all, my Guoer's reputation is not comparable to that bicycle!"

When Aunt Hua heard this, she realized that the amount of money they were betting was not small and she couldn't help but start to persuade them.

"Normally speaking, this is the truth!

However, Su's daughter, Zhao's wife, you two have to think carefully. Although it is not clear how much the loss is exactly, but ten times is not a small amount!

We're all from the same compound, so why not just explain it clearly and pay the compensation? Is there any need to make such a fuss?"

Lan Guoer made this bet without even thinking about gambling for money!

She just wanted to use this as a warning to make Meng Jiao stop bothering her in the future!

After all, it seems a bit too cruel to just slap Meng Jiao to death for such a harmless little trick!

Should I just ignore her? She keeps popping up like a fly, annoying me and making me really upset.

Who would have thought that Long Xiangling would get the money with just one sentence!

"otherwise......"

"That's it!"

Seeing Lan Guoer trying to change her words, Meng Jiao became more and more certain that Lan Guoer was guilty! She immediately interrupted,

"Ten times is ten times! Please, ladies and aunts, be our witnesses, and..."

Meng Jiao looked at Lan Guoer provocatively.

"Also, just in case someone regrets and refuses to pay later, we should put it in black and white!"
