Chapter 49: Give My Daughter-in-law
"Why is it her..."
Shen Sisi muttered to herself, she really didn't expect to meet Xu Hongying in the black market.
If she hadn't been arguing with someone, Shen Sisi would have suspected that she was following her.
Xu Hongying was wearing a gray woolen hat and a gauze mask on her face, and was being grabbed by a stall owner.
"You damn old woman, if you can't afford it, don't touch me. You made my clothes dirty. Pay me!"
Xu Hongying wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but she was no match for the stall owner.
She was anxious: "Who touched your clothes? Which eye did you see it with?"
"I saw it with both my eyes...you want to leave...no way!" The aunt pulled Xu Hongying's clothes and asked her to pay compensation.
Xu Hongying refused to pay and kept saying that she didn't touch it and that the boss was trying to extort money.
The two men were in a stalemate and almost came to blows while pushing and shoving each other.
Seeing them fighting, Shen Sisi shouted angrily: "Stop!"
She held Niuniu tightly with one hand and pushed through the crowd with the other. Seeing that Xu Hongying's hat had fallen off due to the beating and her hair was disheveled, she was furious and could only bear the beating.
Xu Hongying is usually domineering and capable at home, but why does she become a coward outside?
Seeing Shen Sisi, Xu Hongying was also stunned, and her pupils couldn't help but dilate.
“It… is it you?”
Shen Sisi's face darkened as she pulled her behind her and then pushed the old lady away with her backhand.
She pushed the old lady so hard that she took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
"Where did you come from, little wild girl, to dare to hit me?"
The auntie was cursing and rolled up her sleeves to fight. Just as she was about to do so, Dong Xiaojiang appeared and stood beside Shen Sisi. The auntie immediately restrained herself.
Who living in this area doesn’t know Dong Xiaojiang?
His elder brother Cao Hua is the boss of the dock area, and she can't afford to offend him.
Who is this woman?
"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" the old lady asked with a red face and thick neck.
Shen Sisi’s weak body blocked Xu Hongying: “I am her family, what do you think?”
Xu Hongying's eyes flashed with surprise.
When she heard it was her family, the auntie's attitude immediately became arrogant again: "Okay, since you are her family, then you should pay for her!"
"What compensation?"
"Pay for the clothes..." The old lady picked up a long white coat and said, "She stained my cashmere coat. How can I sell it to someone else?"
Xu Hongying immediately jumped out: "You are slandering me. I didn't touch any of your clothes, let alone this one."
The old lady's voice became even louder: "You said you didn't touch it, so you didn't touch it. You old lady are being shameless... Let me tell you, this is the latest model, pure cashmere, and the price is very expensive. If you don't compensate me today, I will never let you go!"
"I, I'm not done with you either..."
The two people who had just been separated were about to fight again.
The alley was in chaos. No one was doing business and just gathered around to watch the fun.
During this time, Shen Sisi didn't say a word, staring at the cashmere coat, and then suddenly laughed.
"You...what are you laughing at?" the aunt asked in horror, looking at her as if she were a lunatic.
Shen Sisi said, “You said my aunt touched your clothes, so can you show us all in detail how my aunt touched it?”
The aunt's face was full of vigilance: "You...what do you want to do?"
Shen Sisi had already made up her mind, but she remained calm and composed: "If you want me to pay you money, you have to convince me, right?"
After thinking about it for a while, the aunt realized that this was indeed the case.
At this time, Dong Xiaojiang also joined in the commotion: "That's right, they keep asking people to pay compensation, but they don't tell us what happened. Isn't this extortion?"
The onlookers also started shouting.
The old lady couldn't hold back her expression, so she casually spread the clothes on the stall, with the collar facing inwards and the hem facing outwards: "Okay, then I'll show you how to do it."
She went around to the outside of the hem and imitated Xu Hongying, reaching out to touch and pick up the clothes, turning them over and over...
"Well, that's it..." The old lady spread her hands and acted it out half-heartedly.
Shen Sisi looked at the black stain on the clothes again, her eyes deep: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, that's how she got my clothes dirty."
Before Shen Sisi could say anything, Xu Hongying couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face anxiously: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I didn't touch the clothes at all..."
The husband says he is right, the wife says she is right, and no one knows who to believe for a moment.
At this moment, Shen Sisi suddenly raised the corner of her mouth: “Okay, the case is solved.”
She took two steps forward and pointed at the black stains on her clothes.
"This stain was indeed put there by someone's hand, but it wasn't my aunt, it was you - the boss lady."
Just as the aunt was about to speak, Dong Xiaojiang rolled up his sleeves and warned her not to interrupt his sister Sisi.
"Little girl, don't just talk nonsense..."
Shen Sisi was not affected at all, and reached out to touch the dirty marks.
"Look, the mark near me is lighter and has obvious signs of being rubbed. The handprint near the boss lady is darker and has a regular shape."
"Everyone, look..." Shen Sisi followed the trace and placed her finger in the air. She tried it several times. If she followed the direction of the trace, the posture should be - wiping her chest with her backhand.
Let me ask you, who would take clothes like this? Isn’t that like putting your hands down?
Therefore, the stain can only stand if it came from the boss's direction.
Everyone rushed over to see the traces, and it was indeed true!
The old lady stammered, "I remember wrongly. I put the clothes on backwards. Yes, it was facing outwards just now."
Shen Sisi looked like she saw through everything but didn't say anything. She grabbed Xu Hongying's hand and said, "Look everyone, my aunt's hands are clean, there's no dirt at all."
"On the contrary, it's you... The gaps between your nails are all black. If I'm not mistaken, you probably just touched coal and haven't washed your hands yet."
The aunt quickly hid her hands behind her back, but it was too late.
"If you still want to quibble, I don't mind asking the police to check and see if what I said is true."
"You, you..." The aunt couldn't utter a word for a long time, and it was obvious that she felt guilty.
The truth is revealed!
The onlookers all showed expressions of understanding and gave thumbs up.
Especially Xu Hongying, the way she looked at her changed, and she thought to herself that Shen Sisi was not as annoying as the rumors said.
The aunt's lie was exposed, and she was too embarrassed to stay any longer. She glared at Shen Sisi fiercely: "You are really good..."
She started to pack up her stall and leave.
Seeing this, Shen Sisi said in a deep voice: “Did I let you go?”
"What? What else do you want?"
"They wrongly accused my family and even assaulted them. How can I settle this?"
Shen Sisi's voice wasn't loud, but her aura was so fierce that it was impossible to ignore her.
Aunt: “I’m sorry…”
Shen Sisi: "Just sorry?"
The old lady gritted her teeth in anger and pulled out a silk scarf, stuffing it into Xu Hongying's hand. "Sister, I'm sorry for you. This silk scarf is my compensation to you, okay?"
Xu Hongying looked at the scarf. The bright red and green seemed too old-fashioned. She pointed to another white striped scarf and said, "I want that one for my daughter-in-law..."
