Mrs. Mu felt bad about the money, "No need to hire anyone. Just have your father watch the shop tonight. After this, those thugs won't dare to come during the day anymore."
Lin Chuchu shook her head. "Mom, no, those people are young and don't know their own strength. It would be bad if they hurt Dad."
The mastermind behind the thugs hasn't come forward yet, but they'll definitely make another move later.
With Mu Chen away, she would protect his family and ensure their safety.
Before Mu's mother could say anything more, Mu's father stopped her.
"We'll do as Chuchu says!"
Seeing that they agreed, Lin Chuchu spoke again, "Let's close the shop for the next few days. We don't have much stock, so we'll go and get the goods back tonight."
Having made the decision, they acted quickly, bringing everything back before nightfall.
There weren't many items, but there were still three large bags. Some of the neighbors saw them and came over to ask.
"Your shop is closing down? I knew it! Capitalist practices are unacceptable."
"Are you having a clearance sale? Sell them to us cheaper, we can recoup some of the cost, how about three yuan a piece?"
The neighbors made outrageous demands; they had long coveted the clothes in the Mu family's shop, but they were too expensive for them to afford.
Now that we have this opportunity, how can we not haggle hard?
Mother Mu was so angry that her face turned ashen, and she gave them a cold shoulder.
"What are you thinking? I'd rather donate the money from selling it."
"Unfortunately, things didn't go as you wished. My shop is still there; I'm currently renovating it, and it will be able to reopen normally in a few days."
His relaxed tone left the gossipy neighbors speechless.
Just then, a mocking voice rang out; it was Aunt Wang, who had a grudge against Mother Mu.
"Hey, your shop's still open? Wasn't it vandalized by some thugs?"
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you telling the truth?"
"My God, the Mu family really did something despicable, even Heaven can't stand it anymore."
The neighbors, always eager for gossip, crowded around. Aunt Wang's eyes flashed with smugness as she began to vividly recount the incident of paint being splashed on her shop.
It was as if I had seen it with my own eyes.
"You all have no idea, those thugs specifically target expensive properties to splash paint on. This time, the Mu family has suffered huge losses."
Mr. Mu focused on driving the car into the yard. Lin Chuchu heard her words and looked at her with cold eyes.
"Aunt Wang, how do you know so much? You're not the mastermind behind this, are you? The police are looking for the person behind it. I heard that if they catch the mastermind, they'll have to compensate us three thousand yuan. Be careful that someone doesn't overhear you and report you."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang's face darkened. Sure enough, she saw the eyes of the people around her darting around, as if they were plotting something bad.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm not the mastermind. Your Mu family has offended someone, so why are you blaming others? What, are you trying to recoup some of your losses by talking to me?"
"Hmph, let me tell you, no way. The police will not help the family of a traitor, and they will not frame innocent people."
Aunt Wang held her head high, her face full of pride.
Just then, a police siren sounded from somewhere, startling her so much that she sat down on the ground with a scream, her face filled with terror.
He ran back home in a flash.
The neighbors who were watching the commotion were speechless.
Why does the other person seem so guilty?
Lin Chuchu, "..."
She's now wondering if the other person knows anything.
Aunt Wang wouldn't have that kind of guts; she definitely wasn't the mastermind.
Lin Chuchu closed the door, cutting off the prying eyes of others.
Mr. Mu was stopping the furious Mrs. Mu.
"I'm going to find her; maybe she really did it."
Mr. Mu shook his head. "Impossible, she doesn't have the guts."
“Then I’ll go find her too. Who told her to talk about our family like that? I’m going to give her a piece of my mind.”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out, and Mu's father did not stop him.
Lin Chuchu didn't want to stop them. Everyone had been feeling frustrated lately, and it would be good to find someone to argue with.
Grandma was playing with the two children and didn't say anything when she saw it.
"You've had a long day. Wash your hands and eat first, then rest after you finish eating."
The family sat down at the table to eat, except for Mu's mother.
Halfway through the meal, Mother Mu returned looking refreshed, carrying a dead hen in her hand.
Looks like they won the fight.
"I'll stew the hen tomorrow, so everyone can have some nourishment."
Lin Chuchu found it amusing to see Mu's mother looking like a victorious general.
Aunt Wang was a complete weakling, both incompetent and a flirt. She never won a fight against Mother Mu and always ended up getting something from her.
Seeing that the atmosphere among the group had brightened, Lin Chuchu felt much better.
Indeed, happiness is built on the suffering of others.
Lin Chuchu's parents wouldn't let her go back, so she's been staying here recently. Lin Chuchu knows what everyone is worried about—they're afraid that the sight of her will trigger her memories of Mu Chen.
Li Sisi's clothes are washed and dried; she'll deliver them to the recipient later.
Oh, and that Xu Jia too, we need to find a chance to teach him a lesson.
I have one less class tomorrow, so I'll go see Liu Rong and see if he has any connections.
The next day after school, Lin Chuchu went to the company address that Liu Rong had given her.
Liu Rong's decoration company finally opened and had a formal office location.
Upon entering the company, I saw a round-faced young woman sitting at the front desk, who immediately stood up when she saw me.
Hello, do you need our help with your house renovation?
The little girl had a sweet smile on her face and was very enthusiastic. She even tried to pull Lin Chuchu to sit down.
Lin Chuchu smiled at her and said, "Hello, young lady, I'm here to see your boss, Liu Rong. May I come in and meet him?"
