Chapter 16 The boss is quite tough and really competes
"Auntie, what did your grandson eat yesterday? Tell us and we'll help you analyze it. I've been eating here for three days, and the ingredients are all quite fresh. Is it something else he ate that caused the problem?"
As a seasoned foodie, Li Donglai knew very well whether the fried skewers at this stall were fresh or not. Seeing that public opinion was beginning to be negative towards the stall, he hurried over to ask with concern.
"It's this fried skewers place! My grandson only ate fried skewers from this place yesterday. The meat they use is stinky, and it smells like it's been sitting there for days! He got sick from eating all that messed up meat they use!"
The aunt killed the fried skewers stall in one bite.
"Auntie, since you are so sure, you must have evidence. I will call the police for you!" Zhao Xiaojing said without any nonsense and started to take out her cell phone.
"You don't suspect the police of murder, do you? There are so many parents here, so many eyes watching. I can't be in collusion with the police, right?"
When Zhao Xiaojing saw the old lady open her mouth to speak, she quickly added a sentence to block her words in advance. Without stopping her hands, she dialed 110 and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, Yangcheng Public Security Bureau."
"Hello, I want to call the police, I am..."
"My grandson needs to take medicine! I won't waste my time with you!"
When the old lady heard that Zhao Xiaojing had really called the police, she stood up and turned around to get out.
"Auntie, are you tired? Come sit with me! You've been out for so long, and your grandson in the hospital must have someone to take care of him and take his medicine. You can't leave. How can you seek justice for your grandson if you leave? We're going to fight her today. We must bring this evil-hearted person to justice!"
Li Zhi shouted loudly and grabbed the aunt who was about to slip away. It seemed that he was helping her to sit down, but in fact he was secretly exerting force and holding her tightly.
"Dear parents, don't you agree? We must find this black-hearted person and ask for an explanation today!"
Li Zhi said loudly.
"That's right! We won't let anyone who dares to play with our children's health go! Auntie, you have evidence anyway, just hand it over to the police. We're all here watching!"
Li Donglai reacted and came over to stand beside the aunt. While talking, he signaled with his eyes to the other parents who ate fried skewers with her every day.
"Right! Everyone, don't leave today! Let's protect Auntie and don't let the boss get close to her and do anything to her!"
Some smart parents immediately understood and called other confused regular customers of the fried skewers stall to surround the aunt and "protect" her.
"Oh my grandson really needs to take medicine! There's no one in the hospital right now, I have to go back and take care of him!"
The old lady's face turned pale and blue, and she got up from the stool several times in a hurry, but was kindly "helped back" to the stool by the parents.
"Auntie, I've called the police, they're nearby and said they'll be here soon.
Let's talk things over in front of the police today. If it's my fault, I'll compensate you. If it's not my fault, don't even think of taking a penny from me!"
"You little bastard, you have..."
"Dear parents! I know you're all concerned about your children's health, so I won't say much. This is the oil I use. I open a new bucket every day, and today I've already emptied it. You can see from the bottom that the oil is crystal clear, and it has definitely not been used a second time!
This is the lunch box I use to store meat. I clean it every night and it is always spotless.
This is the meat I didn't take out. Anyone who's ever bought vegetables can tell at a glance whether the meat is fresh. You can also smell it to see if it's been sitting there for days and has a foul smell!
Zhao Xiaojing took out the ingredients from the stall cart and showed them to the parents watching.
"Everyone, I know it takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. My words are not just empty words, and these ingredients can't solve everyone's doubts. Please wait patiently for the police to handle it! I came here to set up a stall and do business with students, and I have a clear conscience!"
Zhao Xiaojing got angry and said a lot of things to the crowd in a loud and powerful voice. Then she sat aside and stopped talking, looking at the troublemaker indifferently.
"This boss is quite tough. He doesn't look guilty."
"He's got a really stubborn temper, and he really does fight. I like it!"
"Don't say anything too early. The child is still in the hospital. You can't just make false accusations for no reason!"
"Kushi-Kushi-san is so cool!"
"So, can Sister Zha Kushi speak so loudly?"
"Did she really just call the police? Did anyone hear it?"
"It's really reported! I can hear the police talking across the street!"
The parents were whispering and the children were inexplicably excited.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts a little, big sister, you don't have to help me! I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the troublemaker rolled her eyes and found a new excuse.
"Auntie, you don't want to pee, do you?"
A parent who was not a regular customer asked frankly.
"How could that be? The auntie got nervous when there were so many people around! It's okay, she'll be fine when the police come!" Another parent next to her answered calmly. Zhao Xiaojing tried to hold back her laughter after hearing that.
Ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene.
"Who is the person who called the police?"
"Hello, it's me!" Zhao Xiaojing hurried forward and explained the current situation.
The police used a law enforcement recorder to ask for names and ID numbers and recorded them one by one.
"What is your name?"
After recording Zhao Xiaojing, the police came to the old lady again.
“I…I…”
"name."
"Niu Zhaodi."
"ID number."
"Comrade police! I wasn't the one who called the police! I, I didn't call the police. This, this, this, this is none of my business!"
The old lady was shaking and couldn't speak clearly.
"ID number." The policeman repeated it again, and the old lady timidly said she didn't remember it.
"Then may I ask which hospital and ward your grandson is in?"
"In...in...my son sent it there. I don't know. I don't remember it!"
"You said your grandson bought some fried skewers from this place. What did he buy specifically?"
"I bought... I bought duck legs." The aunt glanced at Zhao Xiaojing's glass cabinet.
"Auntie, are you sure you bought duck legs?" Zhao Xiaojing stood beside her with a joking look on her face.
"Yes, sure."
"Comrade police officer, duck legs are a new variety I just started selling today. All the parents here can testify to this."
"What did you buy? Did you buy it?" The police shouted in a majestic manner when he heard it.
"I bought it, I bought it, comrade police officer, I was wrong! I didn't buy anything, it was all my good-for-nothing son's fault!" The old lady collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
"Holy crap, it was actually a false accusation? I saw a live version of it?"
"Oh my god, I just felt such strong empathy for this old lady!"
"Shit, me too!"
When they learned that it was a false accusation, the crowd was stunned.
"You are suspected of spreading rumors. Do you know that spreading rumors is a crime now? Come back to the police station with us!" The police were accustomed to such things and made a gesture of invitation to take the aunt away.
"It's not me, it's not me, my son asked me to come! Son, son!" The aunt stretched out her hands and shouted frantically to the people in the crowd.
