Chapter 110 Village Committee Mediation Dispute
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at the group of troublemaking villagers rushing in from the door and couldn't help but look at each other with determination flashing in their eyes.
At this point, they decided to bring the matter to the village committee and let them administer justice.
The two held each other's hands tightly and walked quickly towards the village committee office.
"Let's go to the village committee and let them judge the case!" Xu Yao said firmly, with an unquestionable determination in her tone.
Xue Han nodded slightly, and the two of them brought a group of troublemaking villagers to the village committee office.
In the office, Accountant Li was busy sorting documents. When he saw such a large group of people rushing in, he was stunned.
Xu Yao and Xue Han walked straight to the front and said resolutely: "Accountant Li, this is what happened..."
The villagers who were making trouble were talking about the problems with the things in Xu Yao's shop and demanding a refund and compensation.
Some said that the brown sugar was moldy, some said that the sesame oil was spoiled, and some said that there was sand mixed in the rice and flour.
For a moment, the village committee office was filled with noise and all kinds of voices mixed together, as if the whole world became noisy and restless at this moment.
"Listen to me, listen to me..." Xu Yao tried to raise her voice, but it was simply not enough to drown out the noise of the crowd.
She felt her scalp tingling and her heart beating like a drum, but she still didn't give up and continued to shout: "Please calm down and talk it over!"
Seeing this, Xue Han stepped forward in time, protected Xu Yao, and said in his deep and powerful voice: "Everyone listen to me, we are willing to make things clear, but the premise is that everyone calms down." Although his voice was not loud, it had an invisible majesty that gradually quieted down many villagers.
Seeing this, the third sister felt secretly proud, with a sneer on her face.
She quietly walked to the back of the crowd and whispered to the villagers who were making the most noise: "You have to work harder and make them pay compensation!" Encouraged by the third sister, the villagers began shouting loudly again.
"Xu Yao, you are such a shameless shopkeeper. You sell fake goods!" a villager angrily accused, "If you don't give us an explanation today, we won't be able to leave!"
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
She took a folder from Xue Han, opened it and showed it to everyone. Inside were the purchase receipts and quality inspection reports of the shop's goods.
"Everyone, look, these are our store's purchase receipts and quality inspection reports. It's clearly written on them that our goods are purchased through formal channels, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality." Xu Yao's voice was steady and powerful, and her eyes swept across everyone present with a firm gaze.
But the villagers who were making trouble did not seem to buy it. One of them said, "Certificates? Reports? These are all fake, we know that! You are clearly fooling us!" His voice was full of obvious suspicion and hostility, which attracted other villagers to echo him.
Xue Han frowned slightly, the anger in his heart gradually rising.
He took a step forward, his voice low and powerful: "Dear villagers, as Xu Yao's fiancé, I solemnly assure you that our shop has never sold fake goods. This is a purchase receipt, and this is a quality inspection report. You can take a closer look." He showed the documents to the villagers present one by one, but the other party didn't seem to care and was still aggressive.
Accountant Li secretly looked at the third sister from the side, secretly calculating in his mind.
He wanted to say something, but when he thought of his third sister's methods, he retracted his head and pretended not to see the chaotic situation.
Seeing that the villagers still refused to buy his proposal, Xue Han gradually became impatient.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "If you don't believe the evidence and report, why don't we ask a third-party testing agency to authenticate it? That way everyone will be convinced."
Several of the villagers who were causing the trouble exchanged glances, seemingly considering this suggestion, but the third sister immediately rushed forward and shouted, "No, this is you colluding with the testing agency, there must be something fishy going on! What we want is immediate compensation!"
Xue glanced at his third sister coldly. He knew her trick but did not expose her on the spot.
He knew that at this moment, the key was to stay calm and let things go according to plan.
"Fellow villagers, we are willing to cooperate with your request, but there must be a fair solution, don't you agree?" Xu Yao also joined in at the right time, her voice gentle but with irresistible power.
Just then, there was a sudden noise at the door and the crowd suddenly became quiet.
Uncle Zhang walked in slowly from outside. His eyes swept over everyone present and finally stopped on Xu Yao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Xu Yao, your shop has always been run with integrity, and everyone has seen it. But what happened today..." Uncle Zhang's words were like a stream of fresh air, instantly dissipating the gunpowder smell in the air.
Xue Han and Xu Yao looked at each other, and the third sister's face turned pale. She glared at Uncle Zhang with gritted teeth, but dared not say anything.
"It seems that things are becoming more and more interesting..." Xue Han whispered to Xu Yao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes flashing with determination and hope.
Uncle Zhang, a highly respected figure in the village, is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. As soon as he opens his mouth, the originally noisy village committee office instantly becomes quiet, and you can hear a pin drop.
His weather-beaten eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and finally landed on Xu Yao, with a hint of praise: "Xu Yao, this girl, I have watched her grow up. Since her shop opened, she has been operating with integrity and never cheating anyone, and everyone has seen it. Now this happened..."
Uncle Zhang's words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Some villagers were just joining in the fun, but after listening to what Grandpa Zhang said, they began to reflect on whether they were too impulsive.
"Yeah, Xu Yao is usually a very honest girl, and doesn't seem like someone who would sell fake goods." An aunt muttered in a low voice.
"That's right, I also think this matter is a bit strange." Another villager echoed.
Seeing that the wind direction began to change, the third sister became anxious. She couldn't let Xu Yao get away so easily.
Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.
"Uncle Zhang, you are a man of high moral character and we certainly believe what you say. However, seeing is believing! I have evidence here to prove that there is something wrong with the goods sold by Xu Yao!" The third sister said, pulling out a package from her pocket and slamming it on the table with a loud "bang".
The package opened up, revealing something dark inside that gave off a musty smell.
"What is this?" Accountant Li leaned over to smell it, and his expression suddenly changed. "This... is this moldy brown sugar?"
"That's right! This is the brown sugar I bought from Xu Yao's store. I found out it was moldy when I got home!" The third sister pointed at the bag of brown sugar and said indignantly, "If I hadn't discovered it earlier, I don't know what would have happened if I ate this!"
When everyone saw it, they were immediately shocked.
"What? The brown sugar is moldy? This is too much!"
"That's right, this is food, how can you be so careless!"
"Xu Yao, you must give us an explanation today!"
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised.
They know very well that the brown sugar in the store is all newly arrived and there is absolutely no problem with the quality.
This bag of moldy brown sugar was clearly a deliberate frame-up by someone!
Xue Han stepped forward, picked up the bag of brown sugar, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and frowned.
The brown sugar was indeed moldy, but the degree of mold was not uniform, as if it was caused by humans.
"This brown sugar..." Xue Han was about to speak but was interrupted by his third sister.
"What? You want to deny it? I bought this from your store myself!" The third sister put her hands on her hips, looking arrogant, "Now that we have caught you red-handed, what else do you have to say?"
Some villagers began to waver again and blamed Xu Yao.
"That's right, this brown sugar is moldy, what else is there to say!"
"Xu Yao, you must give us an explanation today!"
Uncle Zhang was also a little confused. He looked at Xu Yao and asked, "Xu Yao girl, what is going on?"
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
She knew that it was useless to say anything now and she had to produce stronger evidence to prove her innocence.
"Uncle Zhang, fellow villagers, please believe me, there is absolutely no problem with the brown sugar in my store! Someone must have deliberately tampered with this bag of brown sugar to frame me!" Xu Yao said in a firm tone.
"Framed? Who would frame you?" The third sister sneered, "I think you are just guilty and want to find an excuse to evade responsibility!"
At this moment, Xue Han suddenly said, "I know who did it."
His eyes fell directly on the third sister...
"You...what do you want to say?" The third sister's face changed, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Xue Han.
Xue Han curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and said slowly: "Third sister, this bag of brown sugar, is it you..." He paused deliberately, staring at the third sister with a sharp gaze.
