Chapter 409 Serious Quality Issues

"Comrade Xia Liang, we received a report today that your mother, Comrade Liu Lainan, fell into the river and drowned last night. We want to know where you were last night?"

Xia Liang frowned, she understood what these people were thinking.

In some ways, there were indeed disputes between him and Xia's mother.

Everyone in the compound should know about it.

"I have been at home the whole time and have not gone out!" Xia Liang said calmly, "You all know that I am pregnant now and I am already in my twilight years. I seldom go out at night and my husband is worried about me!"

The leading man nodded and whispered, "I've already asked the guards here, and Comrade Xia Liang did not go out last night!"

"We understand that you travel to town every other day by bus. We want to know what you do there?"

Xia Liang said calmly, "Usually when I go to town, I go to the department store. I used to make clothes when I was in my hometown. After I came here, I met an older sister. She lent me her sewing machine when she had nothing to do. So I go to the department store to take jobs. You can go and ask around!"

"Normally after finishing work, I would wait until the afternoon to take the bus back. Sometimes I would go to Sister Sun's house, but I rarely go there!"

The person asking the question nodded, and his expression softened a little: "Comrade Xia Liang, we want to know if Comrade Liu Lai knows anyone else here?"

"Meng Xiaoxiao, the female soldier here before was the one who brought people here."

"By the way, there is another woman who has just arrived in the town not long ago. She is also my nominal sister Xia Jing. As far as I know, she lives with Xia Jing most of the time!"

The men looked at each other and nodded, indicating that Xia Liang could go back.

On the way back, Xia Liang was still a little sad. He didn't expect that his mother died so easily. Does this mean that evildoers will be punished by God?

But it is impossible for him to fall into the water accidentally, and it seems that those people are also suspicious.

What was Mother Xia doing here in the middle of the night? And why was she going to the river alone?

You have to know that the river is not on the roadside and usually few people pass by, especially at night.

Xia Liang frowned and waited until Ning Zhiyuan came back without coming to his senses.

"Don't feel bad, my wife!" Ning Zhiyuan was also shocked when he heard that Xia's mother had died. Such a tormented person suddenly died, but...

Because of Xia's mother's death, the investigation there will probably come to nothing.

"Zhiyuan, I suddenly thought of a question!"

Xia Liang felt a little numb: "Do you still remember Liu Quezi's death?"

Ning Zhiyuan's eyes darkened, the matter had already been settled.

"She also fell into the water! She is also entangled with Xia Jing!"

"Mother Xia is also like this. Are you talking about Xia Jing?"

Maybe the people above have identified herself as the primary suspect, but Xia Liang knows that the person who hates Xia's mother more than her is Xia Jing.

She also heard that Xia Jing went there to buy fabric the day after Xia's mother came. According to Xia Liang's prediction, it was also the first day Xia's mother went there.

This shows that Xia's mother actually made things worse and damaged the customer's fabric.

Mother Xia had done something like this before when she was in the village.

How could Xia Jing not be angry? Wasn't the money she worked so hard to earn enough to compensate for it?

Xiaofang was joking when she told him this, but Xia Liang knew that Xia Jing must have hated her mother in her heart.

"You mean..."

Ning Zhiyuan looked at him with a deep gaze. Xia Liang sighed, "In this yard of ours, most people shouldn't be able to get out, right? Except through the door?"

Ning Zhiyuan nodded. There were also people patrolling here at night, and ordinary people could not get out without going through the door.

"The person who did it should not be someone in the yard!"

Who could it be? Meng Xiaoxiao or Xia Jing? Xia Liang thought it could be either of them, but she had no evidence.

But it was indeed a good thing for her that Xia's mother died.

This woman is hated wherever she goes.

But after her death, some things will never be answered, such as who was her biological mother?

Xia Liang was certain that she was definitely not her mother's biological daughter.

She suddenly felt that she seemed to have forgotten something very important. It seemed to flash through her mind just now, but she had forgotten it again when she thought about it carefully.

"Don't worry, my wife. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really man-made, the murderer will never be let off!"

Xia Liang nodded. Maybe she was just overthinking it. Mother Xia really had accidentally fallen into the water.

Xia Liang didn't take it to heart. When she was needed, someone would definitely come to find her.

We will notify Xia's father and the others, but it will take time for them to get here.

Xia Liang packed up and it was time to go to the department store to take on a job.

"Liangliang, don't you know that your sister made a big fool of herself yesterday?"

As soon as he saw Xia Liang, Xiao Fang ran over excitedly, his eyes shining brightly.

"What happened to her?" Ever since Xia Jing took over the department store, the two of them had one day each, at separate times, and no one interfered with the other.

But Xia Jing’s price has dropped, and it’s one dollar cheaper than Xia Liang’s.

But there are obviously fewer people making clothes here in Xia Liang.

In the past, I could receive ten sets of clothes each time, but recently it’s only three or four at most, and sometimes only two sets of clothes a day.

Xia Liang didn't care, but Xiaofang was worried about her at that time.

Xia Liang just smiled and said, "I don't rely on this to make a living. In fact, my husband doesn't want me to go out to work, and I think it's boring to be idle at home, so I go out for a walk. If there is work, I will go home to work. If there is no work, I will rest and take care of the baby!"

However, the sales clerks here looked at Xia Jing with various dissatisfaction.

"She didn't make the clothes yesterday!" Xiaofang covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"In fact, this is not the first day. She couldn't make it before and kept putting it off. The customers were already very dissatisfied. One of the women even said, 'If you can't make it, why don't you just say it? Why are you holding back and saying you can't make it?'"

Xia Liang knew how fast Xia Jing made clothes, but she didn't take it to heart.

"But didn't she suddenly speed up a few days ago? The clothes were all made, but when the customer was checking them, the clothes were broken without much effort, and the threads were not stable at all!"

Xia Liang was also stunned. How could such a mistake happen? It shouldn't happen.

Even if Xia Jing was careless in her work, at most the clothes were not made straight or the seams were a little crooked or something.

"That elder sister got angry right away and asked Xia Jing to make it for her again. She also said that if this happened again, she would tell everyone here how bad the clothes Xia Jing made were!"

Xia Liang curled her lips and smiled: "She did it too fast, so the quality is naturally not good!"

After all, Xia Jing has not been making clothes for a long time, unlike myself, how many clothes have I made in my previous life?

"I'm telling you, Liangliang, because of this incident, the rest of the people started checking the clothes, and they found that the seams inside were crooked."

"Many people immediately asked for their money back. Xia Jing was really upset."

"Someone has done it with you before, and they happened to still have their clothes on. One of them took off his coat, turned over his clothes to check, and then saw what Xia Jing had done. Those people scolded Xia Jing for being a liar!"

Xia Liang hadn't expected this to happen.

"So how did you deal with it in the end?"
