Huang Zhao was awakened by the couple's quarrel. He walked out of the house yawning and saw the things on the dining table in the main room. He immediately became interested.
"Oh, Fenjiu, Hongshuangxi, did my cousin and her husband bring them here?"
As Huang Zhao spoke, he opened the boxes of Double Happiness and put two boxes in his pocket.
The more Peng Fang thought about it, the angrier she became. "No, I have to go find them. They have Wuliangye and Soft Zhonghua at home, but they use this broken stuff to scare us!"
“Who has Wuliangye and Soft Zhonghua?”
"Who else could it be? Your cousin's husband gave the Huang family a return gift, a box of Wuliangye and six packs of soft Zhonghua. I saw it with my own eyes..."
Huang Zhao was skeptical.
After working outside for several years, he can be considered a man who has seen the world. The boss of the shoe factory where he works now is so rich that he usually only buys two bottles of Wuliangye at most when he entertains guests.
Ling Chuan is just a street vendor, it’s impossible for him to be richer than his boss, right?
"Mom, that wine must be fake. And the cigarettes, there are a lot of people selling fakes out there. Wine that costs dozens of dollars a bottle, but fakes can be bought for just a few dollars."
Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang looked at each other.
"Can this be fake?"
Huang Zhao sneered, "Not to mention fake cigarettes and alcohol, even leather shoes, leather clothes and furs are all fake. The more expensive something is, the more fakes there are, especially famous brands like Wuliangye. Who has ever drunk it? Even if it's fake, can you tell it?"
“That makes sense.”
Huang Jianguo nodded, "This wine tastes almost the same. If you don't drink it often, you definitely won't be able to taste it."
"I bet the Wuliangye and soft Zhonghua that my cousin's husband bought are definitely fake!"
Seeing that his eldest son was so sure of what he said, Peng Fang also began to doubt the authenticity of the cigarettes and alcohol.
"I also felt something was wrong at the time. Such an expensive item was just placed on the ground without any fear of it falling or getting damaged. I guess it was fake cigarettes or alcohol, so I didn't feel bad about it."
As she spoke, Peng Fang quickly unpacked the Fenjiu on the table, unscrewed the bottle cap and let her husband take a sip.
"Can you taste this wine and see if it tastes right?"
Huang Jianguo took the wine and took a sip, smacking his lips twice, "The aroma is quite light, not as strong as Gongjiu."
Peng Fang took the bottle and smelled it, "Could it be that this wine is also fake?"
"It's not really true anyway."
Peng Fang asked his eldest son to try the cigarette to see if it tasted authentic. Huang Zhao replied casually, "The wine is fake, so how can the cigarettes be real?"
After hearing this, Peng Fang was immediately furious. "No, I have to go and talk to them!"
Huang Jianguo thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so he tried to persuade her with some kind words, but Peng Fang was still angry and didn't listen at all. She picked up the things Yun Mo had brought and walked out angrily.
On the way, they met some villagers chatting on the side of the road. When they saw Peng Fang carrying the things out again, they immediately asked her what she was doing out of curiosity.
Peng Fang angrily accused Yun Mo of giving her fake cigarettes and alcohol.
Seeing that there was some excitement, everyone followed Peng Fang happily to Huang's house.
Yun Mo was originally planning to pack up her things and go to Huang Jianye's house in town, but Huang Kailin pulled her aside to ask about the bamboo plaque sign, which delayed her for some time. When she was about to go out, Peng Fang came over and blocked her way.
Peng Fang was looking aggressive and was followed by a large group of villagers. It seemed like they had bad intentions.
"Second aunt, what are you doing?"
Peng Fang snorted coldly, "Yun Mo, you're here just in time. I'm here to ask for an explanation!"
Seeing Peng Fang holding the thing she gave her, Yun Mo thought that she thought the gift was too small, and she sneered in her heart.
"I wonder what kind of explanation Second Aunt wants to ask for?"
Peng Fang took the Fenjiu out of the paper bag and held it high in his hand so that everyone could see it.
Yun Mo then understood that Peng Fang didn't complain that the gift was too small, but rather suspected that the wine she gave was fake.
Or maybe he was just looking for an excuse to have an outburst?
In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Mo's mind, but there was no sign of it on her face.
"Momo, what's going on?"
Hearing the noise, Huang Zhiqiu and the Huang family came out of their house.
Without waiting for Yun Mo to explain, Peng Fang started talking like a machine gun.
Huang Zhiqiu’s first reaction was to wonder if his daughter had been cheated by an unscrupulous liquor store owner.
"Momo, where did you buy this wine?"
"At the Fuduoduo Grain, Oil and Non-staple Food Store in town."
Hearing Fu Duoduo's name, the villagers watching couldn't help but speak up, "Fu Duoduo can't possibly sell fake wine."
"That's right. Fu Duoduo is a store opened by the mayor's relative. It has been in business for more than ten years, and I have never heard of anyone buying fake wine there."
"You said you bought it at Fuduoduo, so it means you bought it at Fuduoduo? Do you think I'm a fool?" Peng Fang pointed at Yun Mo and almost poked her nose with his finger.
Ling Chuan immediately stood in front of his wife.
Ling Chuan is tall, with a stern aura, and is quite intimidating when he frowns.
Peng Fang took two steps back guiltily, "Xiao Ling, why are you staring at me? I'm your elder, do you dare to lay a hand on me?"
Perhaps because he was really worried that Ling Chuan would take action, Huang Zhiqiu quickly pulled Ling Chuan back and said, "Xiao Ling, calm down. Let's talk it over nicely."
Ling Chuan said to Peng Fang with a cold face, "Second Aunt, even if you are an elder, you can't arbitrarily accuse people. What right do you have to say that cigarettes and alcohol are fake?"
Peng Fang sneered, "I am wrongly accusing you? Your second uncle has already drunk this wine, and it has no flavor at all. A 20-yuan bottle of wine tastes worse than a 5-yuan bottle of tribute wine. You still have the nerve to say that I am wrongly accusing you?"
Yun Mo poked her head out from behind Ling Chuan and said, "Just because Second Uncle drinks this wine and it doesn't taste good, you conclude it's fake?"
"Can wine without any aroma be real wine?"
"That's not necessarily true. Each type of wine has a different aroma. Some are light aroma, and some are strong aroma..."
Before Yun Mo could finish her words, Peng Fang interrupted her rudely, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Anyway, your wine has no fragrance, it must be fake!"
Seeing that Peng Fang was unreasonable, Yun Mo didn't bother to say anything more and went straight home to get the receipts for buying cigarettes and alcohol.
Normally, invoices are not issued when buying things in such towns, but Yun Mo was not familiar with Lu'an Town and was worried about buying fake goods, so she asked the boss to issue an invoice when she made the purchase.
"Second aunt, this is the invoice I issued when I bought wine from Fuduoduo. You can take a look."
"If I don't look at it, how can I know whether your invoice is real or fake?"
Seeing that Peng Fang didn't take it, Yun Mo handed the invoice to other people around her.
"I really bought the wine and cigarettes at Fuduoduo. Look, it's clearly written on the invoice: five bottles of Fenjiu, five kilograms of fruit candy, five strips of Red Double Happiness..."
Someone whispered to Peng Fang, "We have the invoice. The wine and cigarettes were indeed bought at Fuduoduo. There should be no problem."
Peng Fang snorted coldly, "This only proves that they have bought things from Fuduoduo, but it doesn't prove that what I have in my hands is real!"
Yun Mo was also convinced.
Even with all the evidence laid out, Peng Fang still insisted that it was a fake.
She seriously suspected that Peng Fang was actually eyeing the Wuliangye and Soft Zhonghua liquor at home.
