Today is the weekend, and Xu Mengting has nothing to do so she goes out for a walk.
I ran into Chen Xue after just a short while of walking around.
In fact, ever since she found out that Chen Xue and Lin Shoudong were in love, she has been deliberately avoiding Chen Xue and Lin Shoudong.
Because she didn't know how to face the two of them.
Especially when I think of Chen Xue’s pointed words last time.
Maybe he feels guilty.
It's my fault for being so concerned about her boyfriend.
Although I would never do something like stealing someone's boyfriend.
But just thinking about it is shameful enough.
So she didn't really want to see Chen Xue and the others.
But who would have thought it would be such a coincidence.
She had tried her best to avoid him at school and in the staff quarters, but she didn't expect to meet him while shopping.
Fortunately, Chen Xue was alone.
She just asked him to help write a poem and left in a hurry.
Needless to say, everyone knows who that poem was written for.
Although she didn't quite understand why Chen Xue didn't wait until her hand healed before writing it herself.
After all, at such a significant moment, how could it be wrong to ask someone to write for him?
God knows how sad she felt when she wrote that sentence.
But that person already has a girlfriend, so I shouldn't have any more fantasies about him.
So after Chen Xue left, she didn't feel like continuing to shop around and prepared to go home.
After walking a few steps, I saw Chen Xue's mother visiting the stall in front.
Just as she was about to call for help, she saw Chen's mother accidentally slip and break the vase on the stall.
The stall owner immediately asked Chen's mother to pay for the vase.
Actually it’s not very expensive, only five dollars.
But she never expected that in order to shirk responsibility, Chen's mother simply pulled over the passerby next to her and insisted that it was the passerby who hit her.
That's why she accidentally broke the vase.
So the passerby should pay for this money.
The stall owner didn't care who was responsible, he just asked the two people, no matter who it was, to pay the five dollars.
Naturally, Chen's mother refused to pay and insisted on blaming the passerby for it.
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of other people on the street, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
Seeing that Chen's mother's story was so convincing, everyone had a preconceived notion that Chen's mother was really hit by someone, and they all helped Chen's mother to blame the innocent passerby.
"Since you bumped into someone first, you must pay for the vase."
“That’s right!”
“…”
Faced with Chen's mother's slander and the pointing of the crowd, the passerby's face turned red with anxiety, but he was tongue-tied and could only wave his hands to explain.
"I didn't. I didn't touch you at all."
“How could the vase break if you didn’t hit me?
I'm telling you, don't try to deny it!
You're the one who hit me, pay me now!"
Seeing Chen's mother's aggressive look after wrongly accusing someone, Xu Mengting couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but stand up and speak a fair word for the innocent passerby.
"Auntie, I just saw it, and I really didn't touch you."
Chen's mother, who had been feeling complacent after thinking she had found a scapegoat, was suddenly exposed and became furious. She immediately turned her fire towards Xu Mengting.
"Hey, I was wondering who was lying, it turns out to be Meng Ting.
It’s a pity that your aunt is so nice to you, and you and my Xiaoxue grew up together.
But now you're helping outsiders to cheat your aunt?"
This made Xu Mengting a little embarrassed.
She even anticipated how Chen's mother would make up stories about her when she returned to the staff quarters today.
But even so, she couldn't tell a lie against her conscience.
"Aunt, just because we are acquaintances and neighbors, it is even more impossible for me to lie to you.
What happened just now was really none of their business.
When the vase broke, the aunt was still two steps away from you. How could she have hit you?
When everyone heard this, they looked at Chen's mother suspiciously.
"Could it be that you broke the vase yourself and didn't want to pay for it, so you deliberately framed someone else?"
"I think it's probably true. The little girl saw it."
“…”
The stall owner even grabbed Chen's mother impatiently.
"Hurry up and compensate me for the vase, don't try to deny it!"
Mother Chen glared at Xu Mengting fiercely, blaming the damn girl for meddling in other people's business.
Otherwise she would have just passed the blame on to others.
But now it really hurts to let her pay five dollars for nothing.
So she simply went all out and said directly:
"Don't listen to what this girl says.
I tell you, this girl is just jealous of my daughter.
Even though they grew up together, this girl is not as pretty as my daughter, and she didn't do as well as my daughter in the college entrance examination.
Not to mention that my daughter now has a boyfriend who is a rich second-generation man.
She became even more jealous.
That's why he deliberately made things difficult for my family.
Let me tell you, my future son-in-law's family is very rich. Why would I care about a mere five dollars?
But even if I don't need the money, I can't just give it away to others for nothing!"
As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Xu Mengting and the scapegoat.
Now it was Xu Mengting's turn to be dumbfounded.
She didn't expect that she would be accused of something just because she stood up to speak a fair word.
"Auntie, please don't accuse me, when did I ever become jealous of Xiaoxue?
I am just stating the facts as I saw them.”
"Let me tell you what you saw. There were so many people on the street, how come no one else saw it, but you alone?
And you are a classmate of my Xiaoxue.
If you weren't jealous of my Xiaoxue, how could you speak up for others?
Or is this person actually a relative of yours?"
"No, I didn't!"
After all, Xu Mengting was young and thin-skinned, so she could not argue with Chen's mother. She was also so angry that her face turned red.
Seeing this, the wrongly accused aunt quickly spoke up to help Xu Mengting.
“You are really too much!
It's bad enough that you falsely accused me of hitting you, but now you're even accusing the girl of that crime.
Never mind, it’s just five dollars!
I'll give it to you, but you have to apologize to the girl."
After all, the little girl just stepped forward to help him.
She definitely couldn't let the little girl suffer any loss.
As for the five dollars, I can only blame myself for my bad luck.
Shi Yunni happened to hear this when she walked over, and she looked in the direction of the familiar voice.
"Aunt?"
