"I don't think so. The store owner has always been a nice person, and that girl doesn't look like someone who would do something like that."
Li Chunlan swore solemnly that she was not lying.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? This girl is so untidy that she rubbed the dress everywhere. This lesbian was also unlucky that she happened to buy this one."
Some people didn't understand.
"Aren't you her aunt? Why are you still speaking out about this? Aren't you afraid that she will be fired by her boss and have to pay double the compensation?"
The people in the village could no longer believe Li Chunlan, but the people in the city didn't know. She saw many young girls in the crowd, holding textbooks in their hands. Maybe some of Shen Zhizhu's classmates were among them.
She rolled her eyes and started to sell herself badly.
"Well, although I raised this child, she has become more and more rebellious since she grew up. She never listens to me. After she got married, she doesn't care about the life and death of the family. If I say two words, she always has ten words waiting for me. I don't want to see her go further and further down the wrong path, and I want her to turn back in time."
Li Chunlan was crying and snotting, and it sounded like she was a child who wanted to help a child who had gone astray to turn back to the right path. Many people were fooled by her and looked at Shen Zhizhu with scrutiny.
Miss Wang didn't expect that someone would speak up for her and speak so well for her, so she took advantage of the situation.
"Look, someone has testified for me. Someone saw with their own eyes that a Yishe employee made defective products and sold them to me. Now you Yishe can't deny it, right? This person is the aunt of your employee. You can't harm your own family."
With Li Chunlan's description, many people forgot the loopholes in Miss Wang's previous words.
Shen Zhizhu asked loudly.
"Why can't I harm my own family? My great aunt has hated me since I was a child. Even in winter, I wore summer clothes and picked up the torn clothes that her own daughter didn't want to keep warm. She married me off for a dowry of 600 yuan. After the marriage, she asked me for things and money in the name of an elder. Now she is even saying that there are problems with the clothes I made and that the store sold the problematic clothes to customers. Isn't this trying to destroy me and this store?"
"You said you saw me dragging this dress around, so when did I make it?"
Li Chunlan was just speaking casually to frame Shen Zhizhu, without giving it much thought. She didn't know how to answer Shen Zhizhu's question for a moment.
"Just... just two days ago. Didn't the little girl just say that she bought the clothes in the past few days? Now that makes sense, you're asking these questions. Do you think I'm framing you?"
Li Chunlan raised her voice even higher, trying to cover up her guilt and make herself seem more justified.
"Whether it is slander or not, who can know better than you? I haven't made any clothes in recent times. I have been studying wholeheartedly. So where did this damaged piece come from? Where did you see the clothes I sewed?"
Shen Chunli clarified from the side.
"This Shen Zhizhu does work in our store and sews clothes for the store. However, the clothes that have passed through her hands, as you can see, the clothes that Erya and I are wearing are made by her. Every new style is sewn by this person in the first batch, and she only makes two pieces, one for Erya and me. We don't sell them to the outside world. So, it is impossible for this aunt to sell the problematic clothes as she said."
Shen Zhizhu clasped his hands and looked at Li Chunlan, who was obviously panicking.
"Aunt, I heard that you went to the Yishe clothing factory a while ago and caused a commotion. They rejected you because they had already hired enough people and didn't need any new people. So you came to the store and asked the boss to make an exception and let you in?"
Having said this, Li Chunlan put her hands on her hips.
"You are so mean, Shen Zhizhu. Didn't you say that you didn't have a good relationship with the owner of this store and couldn't get me a job in the factory? Now it seems like you are very familiar with each other. Did you deliberately tell them not to hire me? You are so cruel. You didn't introduce good people to your family first, but let other people in the village enter the factory. It's a waste of my care for you over the years. Oh my God, please open your eyes and see how someone can be so ungrateful."
"I was kicked out of the store this morning because I wanted to ask the boss to open a back door to enter the factory. Why haven't I heard that Yishe's factory is hiring? I want to go too."
"But if that's the case, doesn't it contradict what she said before? Is there a single truth coming out of this aunt's mouth?"
"Why worry about so much? Let's just enjoy the fun."
Shen Chunli raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. The issue of the clothes had not been resolved yet. The most important thing at the moment was Miss Wang and the damaged clothes that looked like the ones in the luxury store.
"Everyone, be quiet. This morning, this lady claimed to be Shen Zhizhu's aunt. We treated her with courtesy because she was an acquaintance. But she asked to join the factory. Our factory was indeed fully staffed, but she actually asked me to fire anyone and let her in. However, no matter how much or how little work my employees did, they were all diligent and conscientious, and there were no mistakes. I would never do such a thing, so I rejected her."
"Who knew that this lady would sit at our door and not leave, blocking the door and disturbing our business. We were too embarrassed to bother her. At noon, we were worried that she was hungry because she hadn't eaten, so we bought some for her. She accepted it out of respect. I'm sure many people have witnessed this incident."
In the city, people are coming and going everywhere, especially in the most popular clothing store. Many people saw an old lady sitting at the door of the store.
Everyone who comes here will pick something up and say something bad about the store.
At noon, the boss bought her a meal, and Li Chunlan ate it with gusto. Some people even said that the boss was really kind-hearted for buying a meal for a scavenger.
"At the time, I was wondering how a beggar could wear such a nice coat. It turned out that..."
The man didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.
Li Chunlan naturally understood what he said and became furious instantly.
"You are the beggar, you are the one who asks for food. I am dressed so cleanly, how can I be a beggar? If you don't want to talk, just shut up."
No one likes to be scolded, so the man's companion helped him back.
"You are looking for trouble, disturbing people's business, and you have the nerve to eat the food they give you. You are really shameless. I think what you said just now was also intentional. It is probably false."
