Chapter 51: There's something wrong with these two bills
The woman stepped back quickly, acting like a law-abiding citizen, and said, "She wronged me. Please do me a favor."
After taking a break, Deng Xiuzhen's mind was completely clear. She looked at the woman and said, "I clearly gave you three pieces, but you only had two."
The woman said, "Don't accuse me! I have been here the whole time and have never left. If you don't believe me, search me right in front of you to see if there is anything wrong with me!"
As the woman spoke, she opened the bag in her hand, unbuttoned her outer clothes, and lifted her clothes up for the people around her to see.
She shouted, "Please help me check if I took her clothes!"
Deng Xiuzhen was not convinced, so she walked forward to take a look, and discovered that the woman really had nothing on her body. She was only wearing a piece of underwear, but the underwear looked very familiar.
She suddenly remembered that it was one of the three pieces of underwear she had given her!
She pulled the woman and said, "This is it!"
The woman yelled, “You’re talking nonsense!”
Some people said, “How could it be this?”
Someone said: "Impossible, is she not wearing any underwear?"
Someone else said: "This woman doesn't look like someone who needs a piece of underwear."
…
The police did not judge where the underwear came from because they really couldn't judge.
After seeing that Deng Xiuzhen's hair was just messy and her clothes were wrinkled, but she had no injuries on her body, they told them to just let it go.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to let it go, but she couldn't produce any evidence.
No matter how angry or unfair I was, there was nothing I could do. I could only comfort myself in an Ah Q way: It's just a piece of underwear, forget it.
After everyone left, she cleaned up the goods and found that it was not just one thing: a lot of clothes were stolen from the store, not only underwear, but also sweaters and coats!
Looking at the messy shelves, she suddenly realized: it was not the woman who stole her underwear alone, but a trap set by a group of people.
The woman caused a dispute, and the other two people who were guarding the door came in and pushed her when they heard the noise, shaking her unconscious, and then brought in passers-by to watch the fun. Then their other accomplices came in and stole things during the chaos.
Unfortunately, it was no use figuring it out because she couldn't produce any evidence.
When Yingzi came after get off work in the evening, she was also helpless when she saw this situation.
She said: "Although this matter is not your fault, but today's incident has caused such a big fuss that even the police have come. Not only has it offended my customers, but it has also affected the reputation of my store. So I can't keep you any longer.
These goods were lost from your hands, so you must compensate for it.
But you are also innocent, and I can't be too unkind, so I will pay you according to the wholesale price.
Deduct the wages, and you can just compensate me for the extra money."
Deng Xiuzhen was very grateful to Yingzi for her understanding. She immediately settled the accounts as Yingzi had asked and then quit her job.
Deng Xiuzhen has psychological trauma about this store and still feels some pressure.
But now I can't find a suitable job. The owner of this shop is a good person. She has experience from her previous life and has done a good job of precaution, so she should be able to avoid the things that happened in her previous life from happening again.
Just as she remembered, Yingzi let her try it just like in her previous life, and then asked her to go to work the next day.
The things that happened in the previous life still happened.
However, Deng Xiuzhen had experience and handled the situation with ease:
You want to buy some underwear? Let me help you figure out what size to buy, so I can gesture to see if you're wearing any underwear.
After being cheated once, I will never allow anyone to come here naked again and leave dressed without paying.
You don't have to go in together, come one by one, take a few items in, and hand them over to me when you come out.
If you want to buy it, just pay the money and I will give it to you.
The clothes in the "Mini Clothing" store are of good quality, and Deng Xiuzhen is good at business, so the daily turnover is quite good.
In order to get more business, she gets off work later and leaves the cooking at home to her children.
On weekends, the children simply move their homework to her place and ask her to help look after it.
That afternoon, business in the store was as good as usual, with people coming in one after another to buy, look, and try things.
Deng Xiuzhen talked until her mouth was dry and she was busy. But she arranged it well. Not only did she take good care of the customers, she also sold a lot of clothes and didn't lose any goods.
When Yingzi came, Deng Xiuzhen was happily counting money.
"There's something wrong with these two bills!" Yingzi said, looking at the money in Deng Xiuzhen's hand.
Deng Xiuzhen took it out and looked at it, and found that there was indeed a problem!
The figures on these two coins are blurry, not delicate and clear.
There is no fluorescence when held up to light, the watermark is blurry, the edge outline is not obvious, and the character's portrait is not three-dimensional.
Deng Xiuzhen immediately realized that she had received counterfeit money.
She was furious and anxious. Who could she turn to? Not to mention that she couldn't remember who gave her the fake money. Even if she did, if they didn't admit it, what could she do?
There was nothing she could do, she could only blame herself for her bad luck again.
I was in a bad mood and talked about the counterfeit money when I got home.
Wen Jing advised her: "Just be careful next time."
Wen Xin said: "Mom, this is a good opportunity to teach us how to recognize fake money."
Deng Xiuzhen patiently taught her children how to identify real money.
This interruption made all the annoyance in my heart disappear.
Deng Xiuzhen would naturally be careful when she received counterfeit money. No matter how busy she was, she would check each bill carefully before accepting it.
She looked at the 50-yuan and 100-yuan bills very carefully, but she never received any counterfeit money again.
She no longer received counterfeit money, but counterfeit money still came to her door.
That evening, a woman came with a child and said that Deng Xiuzhen had given her 50 yuan in fake change yesterday.
Deng Xiuzhen said: "Impossible, how can I give you fake money?"
She really didn't have any counterfeit money. She tore up the counterfeit money she collected that day after teaching her children.
The woman said, "This is the money you gave me."
Deng Xiuzhen said: "If I gave you fake money, why didn't you tell me in person?"
The woman said: "You gave me this fake money anyway, so you have to pay me back!"
The child also said: "Hurry up and pay the money, or I'll make you pay!"
"What are you doing?" Wen Jing came over to bring food to Deng Xiuzhen.
"Where did the child come from? Don't meddle in other people's business!" said the woman.
"How can my mother's affairs be considered private business?" Wen Jing put the food on the table, folded her arms across her chest, looked at the woman, and said coldly.
"Mom, let's go!" The child pulled the woman and whispered, with his head lowered, completely losing the toughness he had just had.
"Mom, what's going on?" Wen Jing turned around and asked Deng Xiuzhen.
"As soon as they came, they said that I gave them 50 yuan in counterfeit change yesterday. Where did I get the counterfeit money?" Deng Xiuzhen replied.
"You eat, I'll take care of things." Wen Jing said, looking at the mother and son, flexing her wrist and saying, "My mother said no, so it's definitely not. If you say yes, then show me the evidence."
The woman said: "The money in my hand is the evidence!"
Wen Jing took a step forward, tilted her head to look at the woman and said, "Is there such evidence?" Then she grinned.
The child next to the woman was startled, turned around and ran away.
The woman didn't understand what was going on and quickly ran after the child.
