Chapter 109 The Third Sister is Doing Something Evil
"Things are going to change." Xu Yao muttered to herself, turned to look at Xue Han, and said in a brisk tone: "Brother Xue Han, what do you think she will do next?"
Xue Han frowned slightly, his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "She won't give up. From what I know about her, she will definitely use some shady tricks."
Xu Yao narrowed her eyes, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of her lips: "Then let her come over! I am not a pushover either!"
But the third sister did not disappoint them, and the dirty trick came faster than expected.
A few days later, Xu Yao's shop suddenly became deserted, as if it was under a spell, and the originally bustling customers were reduced to only a few.
A few days ago it was as bustling as a vegetable market, but now it is deserted and so quiet that you can hear the sound of dust falling to the ground.
"What's going on? Why is it so quiet today?" Xu Yao muttered, feeling a sense of uneasiness rising in her heart.
This uneasiness was soon confirmed.
An old lady stormed into the store, holding a bag of brown sugar she had just bought yesterday, and her face was long: "There's something wrong with your brown sugar! I went home to soak it yesterday, and it had a weird smell. After I drank it, I had diarrhea this morning and my legs were weak!"
Xu Yao quickly stepped forward to explain: "Auntie, my brown sugar is all purchased from regular manufacturers, there can't be any problems! Are you..."
"What's the matter? You still want to deny it? I tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will sue you!" The aunt yelled unreasonably, her voice was sharp and piercing, like the crackling noise of an old radio, which made people's brains ache.
Soon after, several more villagers came to the store, claiming that there were problems with the things they bought from Xu Yao and demanded a refund.
Some people said that the cakes they bought made them sick, some said that the fabrics they bought faded, and some said that after washing clothes with the soap they bought, strange spots appeared on their clothes...
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, Xu Yao felt angry and anxious.
She knew very well that it was her third sister who was behind all this!
Xue Han's face was livid. He protected Xu Yao behind him and said in a deep voice, "Fellow villagers, please calm down! Everyone knows what kind of person Yaoyao is. She would never sell fake goods! If you really think there is something wrong with the things you bought, we will definitely take responsibility to the end!"
However, the villagers had been incited and would not listen to any explanation.
They were very emotional and accused Xu Yao one after another, as if she was some unforgivable sinner.
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
She knew that the more panicked she was now, the more she would fall into her third sister's trap.
"Brother Xue Han, let's go ask the old customers first." Xu Yao said in a low voice.
They found several old customers who frequently visited the shop. However, when faced with their questions, they all hesitated, not daring to say much, with flickering eyes, as if they had something to hide.
"This..." Xu Yao was a little frustrated. She didn't understand why even old customers were unwilling to believe her.
Xue Han patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, we will definitely be able to find the flaw in the third sister." His voice was low and powerful, like a warm current, flowing into Xu Yao's heart.
Just then, the kind-hearted Aunt Wang hurried over with an anxious look on her face.
"Yaoyao, Xue Han, I just heard something..." Aunt Wang said breathlessly, "I just heard a few women talking under the big tree at the entrance of the village. It seemed...it seemed to be related to the third sister."
Aunt Wang paused and lowered her voice and said, "I vaguely heard Third Sister say that she would...make your business unsustainable..."
Aunt Wang’s words were like a bomb, exploding in Xu Yao and Xue Han’s hearts.
They looked at each other and saw the burning anger in each other's eyes.
"It seems that we have to go meet this 'third sister'..." Xue Han said in a cold tone.
Xu Yao held Xue Han's hand tightly and said firmly: "Let's go!"
The two men turned and walked towards the village entrance. The setting sun stretched their shadows very, very long... There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before a storm.
"Brother Xue Han, what do you think...what tricks will Third Sister play this time?" Xu Yao asked softly, with a hint of worry, a hint of anger, and a hint of...expectation in her tone.
Xue Han did not answer, but held Xu Yao's hand tightly, his eyes firm and deep, as if saying: Don't be afraid, I am here.
They came to the big tree at the entrance of the village, but found that there was no one there, only a few fallen leaves, swirling in the wind...
"Strange, where are the people?" Xu Yao looked around in confusion, and an uneasy premonition came to her heart.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound not far away...
"Let's go and take a look!" Xue Han took Xu Yao's hand and walked towards the direction where the sound came from...
Xu Yao and Xue Han quickly walked to where the crowd gathered, took a closer look, and were immediately furious.
It turned out that several women in the village were surrounding the third sister, talking about something in a buzzing manner, with exaggerated expressions and saliva flying everywhere, just like a group of chirping sparrows.
"Third sister, you have to make a decision for us! The things Xu Yao sells have made us vomit and have diarrhea. We haven't recovered for several days!" A bloated woman said while holding her stomach and looking sad. She looked as if she was going to faint in the next second.
"That's right! My child ate the cakes she sold and got diarrhea and became dehydrated. He's now in the hospital!" Another woman echoed, her shrill voice making people's eardrums buzz.
The third sister looked distressed and sighed, "Alas, I have long advised her that she should be conscientious in doing business and not make money against her conscience! But she just wouldn't listen. Now look what happened! Something has happened!"
Xu Yao and Xue Han exchanged glances and saw the flames of anger in each other's eyes.
This third sister is really the thief crying "stop thief" and is great at confusing right and wrong!
"Third sister, stop pretending to be a good person here!" Xu Yao couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed through the crowd, walked up to the third sister, and said in a cold tone, "How dare you say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
The third sister pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes: "Yaoyao, how can you say that? I was reminding you with good intentions, why are you wrongly accusing me?"
"Remind me?" Xu Yao sneered, "What you mean by reminder is to spread rumors secretly, ruin my reputation, and make my business unable to continue, right?"
The third sister's face changed, but she quickly regained her composure: "Yaoyao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want! Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
"Evidence?" Xu Yao curled her lips, "I will find it!"
After saying that, Xu Yao took Xue Han and turned to leave.
She knew that it was meaningless to continue arguing with her third sister. Only by finding solid evidence could she expose her true colors.
Aunt Wang saw this and quickly caught up with them, asking worriedly, "Yaoyao, Xue Han, what are you going to do?"
Xu Yao took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Aunt Wang, thank you for telling us about this. We are going to investigate now to find out who is behind this."
Xue Han nodded and added: "Aunt Wang, don't worry, we won't let Yaoyao suffer any grievances."
After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Xu Yao and Xue Han returned to the shop.
Looking at the empty shop, Xu Yao felt mixed emotions.
She had finally built up her business, but because of her third sister's interference, she was back to square one.
"Brother Xue Han, we can't just let this go!" Xu Yao clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Xue Han held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, I will help you. Let's find evidence together and expose the conspiracy of the third sister!"
Xu Yao nodded, leaned in Xue Han's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart gradually calmed down.
In the next few days, Xu Yao and Xue Han began to visit everywhere and learn about the situation from the villagers.
They found that the villagers who claimed to have bought defective goods in Xu Yao’s shop all had more or less relationship with the third sister.
"It seems that Third Sister has really put a lot of effort into this!" Xu Yao sneered, her tone full of sarcasm.
Xue Han pondered for a moment and said, "Yaoyao, we have to think of a way to make Third Sister reveal her true colors."
Xu Yao's eyes lit up: "Brother Xue Han, I have an idea..."
The two men discussed in a low voice and decided to take advantage of the situation and lure the snake out of its hole.
The next day, Xu Yao opened the store as usual, but she only displayed some ordinary goods in the store, and those goods that were complained by the villagers were hidden by her.
Sure enough, not long after, the third sister and a few villagers rushed into the shop aggressively.
"Xu Yao, you're selling fakes again!" The third sister pointed at the merchandise on the shelf and shouted, "We're going to teach you a lesson today!"
Xu Yao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Third sister, what do you mean by this? I sell legitimate goods, how come they are fake?"
"You still want to deny it?" A villager pointed at a bag of brown sugar on the shelf and said, "I bought the brown sugar from you yesterday. After I soaked it at home, it had a weird smell. After I drank it, I had diarrhea this morning and my legs were weak!"
Xu Yao sneered and said, "Really? Then please show me the evidence!"
At this moment, a group of people from the village suddenly rushed to the shop, clamoring for a refund and compensation. The scene suddenly became chaotic... Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.
"It seems that the show is about to begin..." Xue Han said in a low voice.
