In less than two months, Meng Lu had earned half a year's rent.
If this were the real world, she would really want to open several branches. Unfortunately, this is just a mission world, and she will leave after completing the mission.
I have to say, she really has a business mind.
Every morning when I wake up, I prepare the ingredients according to my mood. If I get up late, I will open the shop later. All the food will be sold out in less than two hours, and then I will go home happily with Rest. Sometimes when I don’t want to cook, I will just choose a restaurant outside to eat.
This time they closed the store as usual. Meng Lu wanted to eat the pork rib soup made by Resid. The two of them walked to the supermarket hand in hand and heard the noise from a distance.
"Hey kid, you have hands and feet, why are you stealing my food? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Sorry, I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten in several days."
"Too hungry? You pushed me so hard, like you've been hungry for days? Who are you kidding? Anyway, you have to pay the money, otherwise I'll send you to jail."
There were also discussions around. Some people asked the stall owner to let the child go, while others who had nothing to do with the matter cheered on and asked the stall owner to call the police and arrest the child so that he would learn his lesson.
"Resed, why don't we join in the fun!"
"Liao Luo just said he was starving, but now he's not hungry anymore?"
"Okay! I won't go."
Just as the two were about to enter the supermarket, a shadow suddenly flashed before their eyes, and Meng Lu's trouser leg was grabbed by someone.
"Sister, please save me."
The proprietress caught up with him and said, "Oh, so you have family! You two are dressed so beautifully, but you let your brother starve outside. You are so heartless. You must pay double for what he stole from me today."
"Don't overthink it, everyone. I just want to teach these two heartless people a lesson. Don't let your brother get into trouble again."
The proprietress kept talking, and those who didn't know would have thought that the three of them had committed a bank robbery.
Meng Yu was completely bewildered. "No, he's not my brother. He's just a cleaner."
The lady boss clapped her hands and said, "That's right. Since they don't know each other, how did you know he was a cleaner? Stop quibbling. The case is solved. Hurry up and pay, or you won't be able to leave."
Meng Yu didn't expect that they were just there to buy ingredients for cooking, and instead of seeing the excitement, they were already in trouble. But she wasn't a big complainer, and she couldn't say that just because they were loud, they were right! Then she took out her phone.
"You want to call for help, right? Don't think I'm afraid of you, I have people too." Then the proprietress took out her cell phone and made a call.
The boss lady's people were very helpful. They arrived at the scene within ten minutes after hearing that someone was looking for trouble.
"Hubby, it was these three who stole the food I made and didn't pay for it. You must teach them a lesson, otherwise, how will our family have money for you to gamble with?"
The man with shifty eyes looked Meng Luo up and down. Resed immediately stood in front of Luo, completely blocking her.
The man whispered to his wife, "Old woman, this female is very pretty. If they don't want to take the money, I think we should just use this female to exchange for money!"
"Hey, that's a good idea."
The two people's whispers fell into the ears of Rested and Meng Lu, and they looked at each other.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet? It's too slow." Meng Lu complained in a low voice.
The lady boss reminded her husband that the other side had also called people, and the man became even more excited, "Hey, where are the people you called? If you have the guts, let them come out and touch us."
At this time, the sirens sounded, and Meng Lu smiled, "My people are here."
The man's face darkened. "Damn it! How dare you plot against me?"
He was just about to run forward to catch the female Shui Lingling, but was unexpectedly knocked away by a palm from the male in front of her, and his palm just hit the police car.
The windshield was smashed, and the man didn't know where to cover his head in so much pain. His head felt like it was about to explode, his ribs were probably broken, and his legs were broken and deformed.
Rested didn't use too much strength, otherwise he would have been turned into a pulp by now.
The man struggled and slid down from the police car. "Uncle police, not only did they eat for free and not give me money, they also wanted to kill me. You all saw how badly I was beaten."
He then specifically pointed out Rested and Meng Lu to the police.
The boss's wife ran over and lay on her husband crying, "Oh, my husband, how have you become like this? Look at how you are being bullied by them and are almost dying. What will I do if you die? I still have several little ones at home who are crying for food."
The couple's concerted efforts instantly aroused the sympathy of those around them.
"Uncle police, I can testify for them that it was the tall man across the street who attacked first."
"I can testify to that."
Seeing that things were not going in their favor, Meng Qi's mind raced and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Woo woo woo~ You must be in cahoots. They just said they were going to sell me out to pay back the money. Uncle police, this man is gambling. You can't trust his family."
The four policemen who came frowned. In the past year, there have been frequent cases of females and males being abducted and sold, especially females who have no mental power. They have no defense ability. A few of them were found and found that they were forced to form pairs with most of the males in the village, and they had a lot of cubs.
The matter immediately escalated to a new level, and finally the vendor couple and Meng Lu were all taken to the police station.
Inside the police station, Meng Lu was filled with resentment. Why could he get into such a big trouble just by passing by? If he were to trace the source of the trouble... it was all because of this seemingly pitiful child.
As expected, there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and she truly experienced it this time.
The proprietress was taken away for interrogation first. In order to prevent collusion, one person from the opposite side was also called in for interrogation at the same time.
Meng Lu became the second target.
Rest originally wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with his wife, but after seeing the dramatic look of Luo Luo, he understood her intention.
There was a wall between her and the boss lady.
After Meng Qi sat down on the stool in the interrogation room, the police asked her to describe what happened.
The next second, tears began to well up in Meng Lu's eyes.
"Uncle police, they are so bullying. My husband and I were just leaving peacefully, and we had agreed to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for ribs. Suddenly, a little boy grabbed my trouser leg and called me sister. He refused to let go and said he knew me."
"Do you know the little boy?" the policeman asked.
Meng Qi was shocked. "Uncle police, do you think I'm in cahoots with that little boy? No, of course not. I don't know him at all. He just grabbed my trouser leg and called me sister when the stall owner's wife and the onlookers gathered around and called for help. Her husband came very quickly. I suspected someone in the crowd was their agent, and then sent the little boy out to scam people. As a result, my husband and I became the unlucky ones this time."
