Yang Hongying was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Whoever said that Yiren Clothing sells clothes for the dead, step forward if you dare!"
As soon as Yang Hongying finished speaking, several hot-tempered women stood up.
"What? You've done something heartless, and you still want to hit people?"
"We all know now that your family sells clothes for the dead. You want to hit someone? Come on, do it!"
"Pah! You heartless, unscrupulous merchants, selling clothes made from the dead and undermining socialism, even if you don't come looking for us today, we'll still come looking for you!"
I want a refund for the clothes I bought from your store!
"Return! Return!"
...
After someone shouted for a refund, everyone immediately echoed the call.
These people all have their own ulterior motives.
They had almost all bought clothes when Yiren Clothing held its opening event.
They've been wearing these clothes for quite a while now. If they return them now, they can wear new clothes and the money will be back in their pockets.
Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable about wearing clothes that had been taken from a dead person, there was no other loss.
Yang Hongying never expected that her shout would provoke such a strong reaction from everyone.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Hongying.
She didn't argue or make a scene; her calm and composed gaze fell on everyone. "Returns are possible."
The moment she uttered those four words, everyone was immediately excited. Mei Xiaofang, who was hiding behind the crowd and waiting to see what would happen, had a smug look in her eyes.
If Jiang Qiaoqiao returns the goods, it means that Jiang Qiaoqiao has accepted that she sold clothes for the dead.
After that, Jiang Qiaoqiao's clothes will never sell!
She wanted to see how Jiang Qiaoqiao's shop would continue to operate then!
Just as everyone was eager to go home and find the clothes they bought at Yiren Clothing to return, Jiang Qiaoqiao continued, "Although I agree to the return, the premise is that you must be able to prove that the clothes you bought from my store were really second-hand clothes taken from dead people."
Upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, everyone was stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had only heard that Yiren Clothing sold clothes for the dead, which was why the quality was good and the price was cheap. What evidence did they have to prove it?
Jiang Qiaoqiao continued, "The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim; that's the rule of law. But as a business owner, I will certainly prove my innocence in the face of rumors."
Therefore, regarding the rumor that Yiren Clothing is selling secondhand clothes from the deceased, I will report it to the police myself, requesting them to investigate the truth, clear my name, and ensure that the originator of the rumor receives the punishment they deserve.
Her words caused everyone's expressions to change once again.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhang, you're the one who told me that Yiren Clothing sells secondhand clothes from the dead. Where did you hear that from?"
"Li Chunhua told me!"
"I heard it from Guiying."
...
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, with people listening to each other, but no one could say where the words had come from.
At this moment, someone whispered, "If she really calls the police and the officers find out that she was selling fine clothes, then the person who spread those words will be in big trouble."
Let me tell you, there was a military wife in our compound whose husband was stationed in the army most of the time. Some people spread rumors that she was having an affair with someone. When her husband came back, he immediately called the police and reported that person. That person was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison!
When these words spread among the crowd, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't hesitate. She took out her mobile phone and dialed the police, explaining the whole story to the officers.
Someone chickened out first, shouting loudly at Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Boss Jiang, I never said you sell clothes for the dead! I have to go home and cook lunch, I'm leaving now..."
After saying that, he quickly squeezed out, trying to escape Mei Xiaofang's shop.
Jiang Qiaoqiao naturally couldn't let them leave just like that. She stepped forward and blocked the man's path, saying with a smile, "Sister, please wait a moment. The police need to contact you to conduct an investigation and collect evidence."
"Don't worry, if this delays your trip home to cook lunch, I'll personally give each of you half a Yangben Duck braised duck and half a pound of fresh braised vegetables."
As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao uttered these bold words, everyone started whispering among themselves to those they knew.
Although there are now three duck product shops in the county, none of them can compare to Yangben Duck. Yangben Duck is famous and has a limited supply of ducks every day, so you have to queue up if you want to eat it.
Now, as long as you cooperate with the investigation, you can get half a pound for free, which is undoubtedly very tempting for everyone.
"We didn't spread the rumor that she sells clothes for the dead. The police won't arrest us, will they?"
"Li Chunhua, were all the people in your compound who spread the rumors about that military wife arrested, or was it just the person who spread the rumors who was arrested?"
“Only those who spread rumors were arrested; the others were just given a few words of criticism and education. If everyone were arrested, the country’s prisons would not be enough.”
"Then stay! It won't take up much time, and you'll get half a duck and half a pound of vegetables for free. What a bargain!"
...
After some whispering among themselves, everyone actually volunteered to stay and wait for the police officers to come and question them.
Mei Xiaofang, standing at the back of the crowd, gritted her teeth in hatred. She had even imagined the scene of these people impulsively smashing Yiren Clothing.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiaoqiao's few words not only made these people stop believing that Yiren Clothing sold second-hand clothes from the dead, but also made them willing to stay and help her cooperate with the police investigation!
If it is found...
Her eyes flickered, and she finally stepped out from behind the crowd. She forced a smile and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao. "Boss Jiang, although I sympathize with what you've been through, this is my shop."
"You're making everyone wait here, and you're even sending the police to investigate my shop. People will think I've done something wrong. How am I supposed to do business like that?"
Looking at Mei Xiaofang's displeased face, Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled apologetically and said, "Ms. Mei, I didn't think this through. I apologize to you."
"Alright, I'll have everyone wait for the police officers at my shop. I'll bring you another duck later as an apology."
After she said that, she didn't need to say anything more.
The group then spontaneously said, "Let's go wait for the police officers at Yiren Clothing."
"It's a good opportunity for us to have the police investigate whether Yiren Clothing is actually selling secondhand clothes from the dead."
"Let's go, let's go..."
...
In an instant, everyone rushed towards Yiren's clothes.
"Hey! Wait a minute, big sister, little sister, weren't you going to pick out clothes at my house?" Mei Xiaofang quickly called out to everyone, trying to stop them.
But now everyone wants to eat not only braised duck, but also melons, so who would stay to choose clothes?
