For several days in a row, Zhou Chuhan ran to the vegetable market as soon as he got off work, rain or shine.
After observing for a few days, she was surprised to find that Liu Yongmei also had her own skills in greed for money.
When Qian Yuchen was around, he was well-behaved and behaved normally. He also worked very diligently.
When I met an auntie who often went to the vegetable market, I saw her weighing and packing the food honestly, not daring to make any small moves.
She only dares to cheat people when she meets an elderly person or a young person who has no idea how much a pound weighs.
Zhou Chuhan waited for two weeks before Qian Yuchen took his vacation.
Seeing no one was watching, Liu Yongmei immediately returned to her true nature, shortchanging customers and stealing store revenues, all with a smooth, unmatched dexterity.
Zhou Chuhan hid in an inconspicuous corner far away and filmed the process of stealing money.
After a moment, she walked up, pretending to be an ordinary customer.
"What to buy?" Liu Yongmei asked.
Zhou Chuhan replied, "Half a pound of braised beef in soy sauce, and half a pound of sweet and sour spareribs."
Liu Yongmei packed the braised beef and sweet and sour spare ribs into boxes separately and then weighed them.
The two lunch boxes showed 258g and 256g respectively, so she put the lunch boxes into bags.
The plastic bag was handed over, and Zhou Chuhan took it, but she was not in a hurry to leave. She picked it up, confirmed that the weight was wrong, and then took out an electronic scale from her pocket and retested it on the spot.
"What are you doing!" Liu Yongmei was a little flustered.
Zhou Chuhan ignored him and weighed the items himself. The total weight was 464g, with the braised beef in the bag weighing 233g, and the sweet and sour spareribs in the bag weighing 231g.
"One is 233g and the other is 231g. Do you have anything else to say?" she asked slowly.
Liu Yongmei quickly calmed down. Not only did she not admit her mistake, but she also bit back, "Your scale is inaccurate! Who knows what you did?"
"Really?" Zhou Chuhan said indifferently, "Then call the police."
She had adjusted the electronic scale at home and confirmed that it was accurate. But she didn't know how Liu Yongmei managed to shortchange people. She could call the police to investigate.
"Don't call the police!" Liu Yongmei's heart trembled and she subconsciously stopped him.
"Since you are right, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Chuhan deliberately said something to put pressure on him.
Liu Yongmei made up her mind. She waved her hand like she was shooing away a fly, "It's my bad luck! I'll give you all the braised beef and sweet and sour pork ribs for free. Take them and leave!"
Zhou Chuhan sneered, "So this is how you deal with the aftermath after the truth was revealed? I was wondering why no one complained."
Liu Yongmei said confidently, "It's free, what else do you have to be dissatisfied about? If things really get out of hand, you won't get the advantage."
Zhou Chuhan looked at her as if he was looking at a grasshopper after autumn.
Seeing that the other party still refused to leave, Liu Yongmei frowned, "You..."
"So this is how you do business when I'm not around." A man's voice sounded coldly.
Liu Yongmei's pupils constricted.
She looked in the direction of the voice, and as expected, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and her eyes went dark immediately - it was Qian Yuchen! She had agreed to take a rest today, but he came back! And at this critical moment!
"I don't understand what you are saying." Liu Yongmei said stubbornly.
Qian Yuchen was extremely disappointed. He threw his phone away and said, "Look for yourself, what have you done behind my back!"
The phone screen was on, and a video was playing on it, showing the entire process of her taking money from the drawer and secretly putting it into her trouser pocket.
Liu Yongmei's hands and feet were cold, and her mind was filled with only one thought: It's over!
"Do you have to take money out of your pocket before you admit it?" Qian Yuchen shouted.
Zhou Chuhan interrupted, "Don't cry until you see the coffin. Don't waste time, call the police."
"Don't call the police!" Liu Yongmei suddenly raised her voice.
Zhou Chuhan ignored him and took out his cell phone to make a call.
Liu Yongmei became anxious. She ran out of the store and tried to snatch the phone.
Qian Yuchen subconsciously protected his cousin.
During the scuffle, he was pushed to the ground, with his arm landing first.
Instantly, Qian Yuchen broke out in a cold sweat and his elbow hurt whenever he moved it.
The two women were shocked and hurriedly called for an ambulance...
**
Everything that happened afterwards seemed like a dream.
Qian Yuchen was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with "elbow dislocation" and needed to rest for two or three months.
Liu Yongmei burst into tears, saying that she was blinded by lard and was bewitched by evil. She was willing to return all the money she had stolen to the store, and only asked Qian Yuchen not to call the police and not to pursue the matter.
Without waiting for Qian Yuchen to give a reply, Liu Yongmei's husband rushed over after hearing the news and begged him to show leniency.
Qian Yuchen said coldly, "Even if I agree, my partner won't agree!"
Zhou Chuhan was not polite at all, "Look at what wicked things your wife has done! What kind of relative is this? Is she specifically targeting familiar people?"
Liu Yongmei's husband apologized on his wife's behalf, "She knows she was wrong, she really knows she was wrong, so why don't you just let her go?"
"My children are still young and they really can't be left unattended."
"What's more... we are all relatives. How embarrassing would it be if someone in the family got caught and taken to jail?"
Only then did Liu Yongmei realize that Zhou Chuhan was actually their distant relative and also a partner in the store.
She knew something was wrong, so she acted pitifully and begged Zhou Chuhan to forgive her once. At the same time, she vowed to change her ways and never do it again.
At the end he even fell to his knees, declaring that he would not get up until he was forgiven.
For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate.
Qian Yuchen had no choice but to give in. "I can let it go."
Liu Yongmei was overjoyed.
Zhou Chuhan was about to stop him when he heard his cousin continue, "You stole the store's money, shortchanged the store, damaged its reputation, affected its business, and injured me... You've done so many wrong things, you have to compensate. My request is not high, just 30,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yongmei became as stiff as a sculpture and could not speak for a long time.
She worked very hard to make money, and all the income she earned from working in the delicatessen over the past six months added up to almost exactly this number.
"Qian Yuchen, we are relatives, don't go too far!" Liu Yongmei became angry and embarrassed.
"When you stole the money, why didn't you think about me being your relative?" Qian Yuchen was indifferent. "Since you don't consider me as a relative, why should I put myself in your shoes? Respect is mutual."
Without waiting for Liu Yongmei's response, he said to her husband, "The conditions have been proposed. It's up to you whether to accept them or not. If you don't want to settle privately, then call the police."
Liu Yongmei's husband felt heavy in his heart.
After a long silence, he agreed with difficulty, "Okay. I will collect the money and transfer it to you within three days at most."
After the negotiation, he looked gloomy and dragged his wife out.
"Wait!" Zhou Chuhan stopped the man. "I was watching when they were weighing, but I didn't notice when they did anything. How did you do it?"
Liu Yongmei stammered, "The electronic scale is set in advance, and it displays 0 when empty. When you put something on it, the weight will automatically increase."
I see.
Only then did Zhou Chuhan let them leave.
Turning around, she saw Qian Yuchen was covered in wounds and looked exhausted. She asked with concern, "Brother, are you okay?"
"She's fine, but the business is dead." Qian Yuchen laughed at himself. "Liu Yongmei cheated customers by shortchanging them. Now her shop is probably on a lot of people's blacklists. Plus, she injured her elbow and has to rest for more than two months. By the time she recovers, the popularity she had worked so hard to build up will have dissipated."
Zhou Chuhan advised him, "Don't think too much, take care of your health first."
Qian Yuchen shook his head, his expression was indescribably bitter, "Chu Han, I don't plan to run the delicatessen business anymore. I want to sell the store in a few days."
Zhou Chuhan was stunned.
She thought the business would get better and better, and maybe she could open many chain stores in the future. And she only needed to lie down and collect the money every month.
Who knew the accident would come so suddenly and the business would be cancelled.
"You...would you like to reconsider this?" Zhou Chuhan reminded, "With your age and education, it will be difficult for you to find a job."
Qian Yuchen sighed, looking tired, "Let's talk about the future later. During this time, I want to have a good rest and think about the future path."
Zhou Chuhan had no choice but to respond, "Okay."
Qian Yuchen added, "Wait for Liu Yongmei to transfer the money, and then we'll split it in half."
Zhou Chuhan refused, "I'll take 10,000 and you'll take 20,000."
Qian Yuchen wanted to say something, but Zhou Chuhan was firm, "You were pushed to the ground to protect me, you deserve this money. You won't be able to work for the next two or three months, so you won't be embarrassed if you have money in your hand."
Qian Yuchen couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
**
At the beginning of every month, there would always be a sum of more than 10,000 yuan transferred into her account. Zhou Chuhan felt inexplicably uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of the dividend income.
And the monthly income is composed of: monthly salary of 3,500 yuan for main job, income from part-time job fluctuates around 1,000 yuan, and dividend income is around 12,000 yuan.
Not getting dividends means losing more than 70% of income.
Frankly speaking, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that Qian Yuchen would continue to run the business after he recovered from his injury, even if the store was vacant for more than two months and he would earn less in the future. Unfortunately, Qian Yuchen seemed disheartened and was determined not to continue the cooked food business.
It was not until this time that Zhou Chuhan realized how troublesome it was to not have the technology in his own hands.
If the partners say they want to break up, then they have to break up. There is no other way but to agree.
"It would be great if I could have my cousin's craftsmanship." Zhou Chuhan was depressed, "Then I could keep the business going even if I'm alone."
But on second thought, she worked in a state-owned enterprise and would be reluctant to resign.
Doing business is not like taking on translation work. You can get things done by just taking time out for a few consecutive nights.
After thinking about it, Zhou Chuhan came to the conclusion that she was not Qian Yuchen. What the other party could do easily was extremely difficult for her.
Finally, all the words boiled down to one sentence, "It's all Liu Yongmei's fault!!"
**
Soon, Qian Yuchen received 30,000 yuan in compensation from Liu Yongmei, and the grudge was settled.
After getting the money, he immediately transferred 10,000 yuan to his cousin without saying a word.
After receiving the text message reminder, Zhou Chuhan lost interest and couldn't muster any energy.
She had just deposited 10,000 yuan into a fixed deposit. The system that had been playing dead for a long time suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "The opportunity has come. It's time to buy a house."
Zhou Chuhan, "???"
She was dumbfounded, "But I have no money..."
The author has something to say:
Pretend that mobile phones are smart enough to shoot videos by then.
Some vegetable markets have cheating scales that can be manipulated to change the weight. For example, if a 500-gram weight is placed on the scale, it will show 800 grams.
The main investment products in the early stage are real estate, which is easier for everyone to understand. Other financial products will be introduced later.

Author's Science
Q: When will social security be paid?
A: According to the law, you have to pay social security in the month you start working.
In reality, it may be paid after the probation period.
It is also possible that you don’t have to pay/or you can be given a subsidy of two to three hundred yuan.
If anyone feels dissatisfied, they can file for labor arbitration or directly sue.
but--
[The economy is bad, and it’s not easy to find a job. And if you live in a small city, one company won’t pay, and then another company won’t pay. Many companies won’t pay.]
【On the other hand, not paying social security can significantly reduce labor costs. Many companies are actually not making money and are struggling. If they must pay social security for their employees, then the company may lay off employees or even close down. Fewer job opportunities is not a good thing for ordinary people, so whether social security should be mandatory has always been controversial.】
