Chapter 157: Are you thick-skinned enough?
After hearing what Tan Yanlin said, the surrounding merchants unanimously agreed:
You come to work in my shop, you do your job well, and I will pay you the salary regardless of whether I make a profit or a loss.
Then, what does my profit or loss have to do with you?
Things related to oneself always touch people's hearts.
The merchants unanimously demanded severe punishment for this shameless and disgusting person.
The others also felt that the logical thinking of these two people refreshed their three views, and that these two people were really shameless.
For a moment, countless people pointed at Liu Qing and Hu Yue and cursed them.
When the police wanted to take Liu Qing and Hu Yue away, they immediately lowered their posture and begged for mercy: "Boss Qin, Madam Boss, we only took a small amount, can you just consider it as a salary increase for us?"
Tan Yanlin was so angry that he laughed: "You may not have taken much at first, but your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. You actually treat my shop as your cash cow!
What do you mean by giving you a raise? Why should I give you a raise? Is it because you are thick-skinned? Or is it because of your shameless logic?
This time you have wrongly accused my wife! Don’t just say you won’t let it go this time, you must return what you stole before! I’m going to sue you for theft! I’m going to sue you for extortion!”
When the three men heard that they were going to sue them for blackmail, they immediately shouted, "It was all their idea! They were the ones who asked us to come here!"
After their narration, the whole story became clear:
Liu Qing and Hu Yue went to lunch together at noon and discussed how to get rid of Deng Xiuzhen.
Hu Yue happened to meet his fellow villager Chen Qicai, and he suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.
Find someone to frame Deng Xiuzhen, and then expose her, so that Deng Xiuzhen will be accused of stealing things from the store.
Which store would want to hire a dishonest thief?
It must be far away!
The three of them discussed it and decided that it would be easier to conceal their tracks if they had more people.
Chen Qicai was working at the construction site, so it was easy to call a few people over.
When everyone heard this, they realized that it was not stealing or robbing, they were just pretending to go shopping and then pack up the things and throw them into the store.
My brothers asked for help, and the task was simple, so I took them to dinner and got it done.
A few people agreed without thinking too much, and came over after roughly discussing the division of labor.
Things went smoothly, and the actors acted very convincingly, to the point where I even began to believe it.
Later, when the situation was very good, Chen Qicai said that each store owner should pay 1,000 yuan in compensation.
They didn't say anything, mainly because the one thousand yuan was a bit tempting, and they didn't realize the risks.
But who knew that this behavior is extortion and is illegal.
"Boss Qin! Boss Qin! Don't sue! Don't sue! I don't want this month's salary. Please don't sue us. I have a younger brother at home and sick parents..."
"Is there a grandmother in her eighties?" someone interrupted.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
The police took Liu Qing and others to the police station and asked Deng Xiuzhen to take a statement.
"Wife, come on, I'll go with you." Qin Yanlin closed the store and went to the police station.
After recording the statement, the two came back together, and Tan Yanlin asked, "Wife, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Deng Xiuzhen felt a little uncomfortable and blurted out: "Don't call me that, we are divorced!"
"I..." Tan Yanlin looked at Deng Xiuzhen and changed the subject: "Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Deng Xiuzhen suddenly realized that she had no feelings about this title before, but now she found it harsh and awkward.
The problem is not with Tan Yanlin, nor with the title, but with herself.
She suddenly remembered a saying: All the feelings in this world are decisions made after weighing the pros and cons.
This sentence is actually very suitable for me.
For example, her true thoughts when she divorced Tan Yanlin, and her considerations when Ma Xiuyun introduced Kang Rongzhong to her.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Deng Xiuzhen was worried, Qin Yanlin asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Deng Xiuzhen shook her head and answered indifferently.
The two returned to the yard, Tan Yanlin went to cook, and asked Deng Xiuzhen to lie down for a while.
Lying on the bed, listening to the clanging sounds of Qin Yanlin cooking outside.
She was horrified to find that except for the moment when she was reborn, she had a wish, which was to be with Tan Yanlin for the rest of her life.
The rest of the time, it seems like I just live my life for the sake of living.
When she first thought of the possibility that Tan Yanlin might have cheated on her, the first thing she thought of was not to get him back together, but to let him go.
At that time, I was not thinking about my family, but about getting a divorce as soon as possible. I had money anyway, and I would not die after the divorce.
After the divorce, the house and land that I bought are completely my own, and Tan Yanlin cannot take them away.
When I think about how Tan Yanlin schemed against me for the two million dollars because of you, I feel that Tan Yanlin is selfish.
But I was secretly doing the same thing.
She discovered that she was actually a selfish and worldly person.
This realization made Deng Xiuzhen very depressed.
"Xiuzhen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" After Qin Yanlin finished cooking, he called Deng Xiuzhen. After calling her a few times but no one answered, he came over and found that Deng Xiuzhen's eyes were empty and she looked like she was out of her body. Gu Shi panicked.
Deng Xiuzhen still didn't respond.
"Xiuzhen! Xiuzhen!" Tan Yanlin shouted, reaching out to pull Deng Xiuzhen, wanting to take her to the hospital.
"What are you doing?" Deng Xiuzhen suddenly came to her senses, slapped Tan Yanlin's hand away and asked in surprise.
"Xiuzhen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Shall we go see a doctor?" Qin Yanlin said anxiously.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Wen Xin rushed in, her worry evident on her face.
Deng Xiuzhen felt a little warm in her heart and said softly, "I'm fine, just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest. Why are you back at this time?"
"Mom, are you really not feeling unwell?" Wen Xin reached out and touched Deng Xiuzhen's forehead, then looked at Deng Xiuzhen.
Turning to ask Tan Yanlin, "What happened today? Why do I feel like Mom has suffered a big blow?"
Tan Yanlin recounted the story of how Deng Xiuzhen came to his store to help and how two shop assistants framed Deng Xiuzhen.
"Two bastards!" Wen Xin gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Why are you back at this time?" Tan Yanlin asked.
"The school sent me and several classmates to the United States to participate in a competition. In order to get good results in the competition, we have to train for a month and will not go home during this period. The school asked us to come back to tell our parents and prepare our belongings..." Wen Xin said, taking out a notice.
“International competition?!!!” Tan Yanlin exclaimed.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly took it and looked at it, feeling both surprised and happy.
I was happy that Wenxin was so outstanding, but I was surprised that the competition she participated in was the major that Wenjing studied abroad.
Is this a coincidence, or what?
"Well done Wenxin, keep it up!" Tan Yanlin couldn't hide his excitement.
"Well, very good! Just tell us if you need anything and we will prepare it for you." Deng Xiuzhen suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked happy.
