Chapter 279: Even Dogs Won’t Eat It
Lin Jiayi panicked all of a sudden. The accusations from those few people at the end gave her a bad feeling.
Li Hongmei is a person who sells cooked food, and the two sisters Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei look very similar.
In other words, the cooked food was not bought from them, but most likely from Li Hongmei.
"Brother, Auntie, you have mistaken the person. Look again, we are not the ones who sell you the cooked food. Is that person older than her?"
She pulled Li Dongmei to show everyone, fearing that everyone would mistake them for Li Hongmei and beat them up.
These people didn't buy her story. "Even if it wasn't her, it's related to you. Don't think I don't know that you are all family. Maybe she deliberately let her sell the spoiled meat yesterday, and let her hide and let someone else sell it today to fool us ordinary people. Don't listen to her, folks. If she doesn't compensate us today, we will fight..."
"That's right. I've seen it. Their stuff is all the same."
"Not only are their things the same, I also know they are from Xiaoqingshan Village."
………………
Seeing that all her past was exposed, there was no way to escape it no matter what she said. In panic, Lin Jiayi covered her stomach and cried out "ouch".
Li Dongmei suddenly realized something and immediately supported Lin Jiayi, anxiously saying, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you? Did you have a miscarriage? What should I do? You are already this late in the pregnancy, will it cause any trouble?"
After all, facing a pregnant woman, these people want medical expenses but don't want to cause a death.
Seeing Lin Jiayi holding her stomach and crying out in pain, some of the timid ones had already started to sneak away, fearing that if they were a little late they would be implicated.
Even the leaders did not dare to act rashly. In the end, they just uttered a few harsh words and left with their men.
Lin Jiayi waited until there was no more movement before looking around.
Li Dongmei asked carefully, "Sister-in-law, what should we do? Should we continue to sell it?"
"What are you selling? Close the stall and go home."
Li Dongmei now listens to her sister-in-law very much. To be exact, after Li Hongmei married Ma Dazhuang, she recognized the facts.
In this family, no matter how much her mother dotes on her, she is old and cannot be relied upon at critical moments.
If her sister-in-law wanted to cheat her, her mother would be powerless to stop her.
Especially when it comes to marriage, she doesn't want to follow her elder sister's path.
So at home, even though she looked down on her sister-in-law, she no longer dared to go against her as she did before.
After my family started the cooked food business, my opinion of my sister-in-law changed even more.
Lin Chuxia became rich, and Sun Lanlan, who was on good terms with her, was able to take advantage of her and marry a city man.
If her brother and sister-in-law become rich, wouldn't it be easy for her to marry a city person?
Li Dongmei obediently closed the stall, picked up the backpack and walked home with Lin Jiayi.
When Lin Jiayi and Li Dongmei arrived home, Li Hongmei had already returned home.
The basket containing the meat was under the big tree in the yard.
Lin Jiayi took a few steps forward and lifted the cover, and saw that the basket was full and half full of meat. The meat seemed to emit a faint fishy smell.
Lin Jiayi's face suddenly turned dark, and she went into the house to argue with Li Hongmei.
"Why did you come back with so much of your goods left? You left it in the yard. It's so hot outside. Won't the meat go bad if you leave it like this?"
That's a large basket of meat, and no matter how much it cost, Lin Jiayi felt heartbroken just looking at it.
"At the beginning, I told you to come with us, but you insisted on selling it yourself. Is this the result of selling it yourself? I saw you were taking the goods and running off somewhere to slack off?"
Li Hongmei rubbed her sore shoulders and said disdainfully, "Can you blame me for this? Don't you know what the cooked meat you guys make tastes like? Even a dog wouldn't eat it."
"You farted..."
"Okay, stop arguing," Before Lin Jiayi could say anything more, Old Lady Li came in and interrupted her, "Hongmei, if you don't know how to sell things, learn more from your brother and sister-in-law, and don't be disrespectful."
Li Hongmei is her daughter, and she knows her best.
I have never worked since I was a child, let alone selling things. I can't bring myself to do that.
But she had promised her that the money from the sale of the meat would belong to her, so she took so much goods over.
Li Hongmei fell silent. She had indeed suffered a lot in the past two days.
I stood there like a fool, not knowing how to start.
After finally selling a few portions, someone came to her today and said that the meat she sold was defective and had made her sick.
If she hadn't run fast, she would have been beaten.
But she couldn't even open her mouth to admit her mistake to the person she despised the most.
Old Mrs. Li just gave her a way out.
She stopped talking, but Lin Jiayi couldn't let it go.
"I told her to come sell with us for a few days, but she insisted that she could do it. She even took away so much goods. Don't you know that they will go bad if they can't be sold in such hot weather?"
"What are you yelling about? It's my fault if it's broken. It's because you guys are incompetent."
Li Hongmei was already unhappy, and now she was scolded by Lin Jiayi, whom she looked down upon the most, so she was no longer in a good mood.
Lin Jiayi was so angry that her chest heaved. "We don't have the ability? If you don't have the ability, why are you trying to get close to us? The meat left over from the day before yesterday is all back in the pot today. You said you didn't have any left, but you took a lot yesterday. Yesterday you said you sold them all, but you took new ones today. You sell them every day, so how come there is still so much left in the basket? The meat is almost rotten, but you still sell it to others. Do you want to ruin your family's business?"
When she heard about her business being ruined, Mrs. Li became anxious.
Although she loves her daughter, she also wants to live a good life.
Since she started selling cooked food, her family's life has improved and she can eat meat every day.
We haven’t had enough of the good days yet.
"What's going on? Hongmei, why don't you sell the meat? Is it true what your sister-in-law said, that the meat has gone bad?"
"No..." Before she could finish her words, Lin Jiayi pointed at Li Dongmei and said, "You say."
Old Mrs. Li didn't believe anything she said and asked her own daughter to speak.
Of course, Li Dongmei was also afraid that the good days she had were gone. She also wanted to marry a city man like Sun Lanlan.
He immediately said, "My sister-in-law and I were selling meat just now, and someone said that someone got sick from eating our meat. It must have been my sister who sold it."
"You're talking nonsense. How can you say that I sold it? I said it was you who sold it. It was my brother who sold it," Li Hongmei immediately quit.
Even if she sold it, she couldn't admit it, and those people would have to pay compensation.
Lin Jiayi knew she wouldn't admit it. "It's okay if you don't admit it. Don't sell this meat anymore. I can't afford you. Also, the basket outside is too stinky to sell. You have to compensate me for the basket of meat."
Since she started selling cooked food, Lin Jiayi has become more assertive in her words.
After living together for such a long time, she still can't see what her sister-in-law is thinking?
It's nothing more than taking more goods and then taking a cut from the profits after they are sold.
The more goods they have, the more they draw. No matter what they say, Old Mrs. Li has something waiting for them.
In this case, it would be better not to use her.
Like Lin Chuxia's shop, hiring a few employees and being the boss yourself, isn't that better than having these two sisters-in-law who can't be ordered around?
