Chapter 1787 Whose Responsibility (I)
Lu Xiaoxiao struggled to squeeze to the front of the crowd. Before she could catch her breath, she heard Liu Ermei crying, so she immediately walked towards Liu Ermei.
"Second sister, what happened?" Lu Xiaoxiao patted Liu Ermei on the shoulder and asked.
Liu Ermei stopped crying after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. When she wanted to tell Lu Xiaoxiao what had happened, she heard the voice of the person who framed her.
"You know this country bumpkin, right? If you know her, then you should help her pay for the cloth and the bills as soon as possible, or I will have you arrested in a moment."
"Shut up and take a good look at what's written on the wall behind you. If you say something nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you." After hearing what the salesperson said, Lu Xiaoxiao yelled at the salesperson.
The salesperson was frightened by Lu Xiaoxiao's yelling. Just when she wanted to yell back, she remembered the words written behind her, so she had to shut her mouth. However, even though she closed her mouth, her eyes were still fixed on Liu Ermei.
Seeing that the salesperson had calmed down, Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ermei again, "Second sister, now you can tell me what happened."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei nodded, and then she told Lu Xiaoxiao what had happened.
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that it was the salesperson who framed Liu Ermei, but what she lacked now was evidence. It seemed that she could only use words to irritate the salesperson.
"Comrade, you said that this piece of cloth was made dirty by my friend?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the salesperson.
"Yes, she accidentally dropped the soy sauce on the cloth when she took it."
"Are you sure she dropped the soy sauce on the cloth when she took it?"
"Sure."
"Well, tell me approximately when she dropped the soy sauce onto the cloth."
"Ten minutes ago."
"Are you sure?"
"Confirmed."
After hearing what the salesperson said, Lu Xiaoxiao took the soy sauce from Liu Ermei's hand, opened the lid and poured all the soy sauce onto the cloth.
When the salesperson saw what Lu Xiaoxiao did, her face immediately turned pale. Then she said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Do you know what you are doing? This bottle of soy sauce has directly ruined a piece of cloth. Do you know that?"
"Of course I know that, but didn't you just say that it was my friend who destroyed the cloth and asked us to pay for it? Since we have to pay for the cloth, then what we want to do with it is our business and has nothing to do with you."
"That's what you said, but you haven't paid yet, so this piece of cloth is not yours yet."
"Don't worry, I'll give you the money in ten minutes." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the salesperson calmly.
"You said it, don't say you don't have money later."
"Don't worry, I will compensate you for what you owe me." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she pulled Liu Ermei aside.
"Xiaoxiao, you only have five dollars on you. You can't afford that piece of cloth." Liu Ermei took out all the money in her pocket and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Who said we were going to buy that piece of cloth?"
"You, didn't you just say you would give the salesperson the money in ten minutes?"
"I was just trying to buy time. Since you didn't destroy the cloth, why should we buy it? Our money didn't come from the wind."
