Chapter 240 Differential Treatment
Everyone was talking at once. The two thieves had sacks on their heads and couldn't see what was happening outside. They were trembling with fear just by hearing the sounds.
At the same time, a thought emerged in my mind: It's over, I'm really finished now.
The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, don't worry. Come one by one. I promise to make them return everything they stole."
Everyone then quieted down and stared at the two thieves with angry eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao reached out and pulled off the sacks on their heads.
The two little thieves were a little bit unable to adapt to the sudden brightness, and they squinted their eyes at the same time.
"Okay, everyone come in order."
At the command of the village chief, everyone immediately lined up spontaneously.
The first villager stepped forward and said, "Two chickens were lost from my family last night. Was it you two bastards who did it?"
The two men stiffened their necks and remained silent. Su Jianwu, acting like a fox, took out his wolf-proof magic weapon and waved it in front of them: "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll let you taste what I felt last night again!"
Their expressions changed in unison, and they nodded hurriedly, "We stole it and hid it in a cave outside the village."
With the experience of the first time, the villagers came forward one by one. Some of the things were just lost, and some were lost before. The two people explained honestly and their attitude was very cooperative.
Finally, it was the village widow Wang's turn. She came forward cursing, "You two shameless bastards, how dare you steal my pants!"
The two looked at Widow Wang's dark and fat face and shook their heads in unison: "We really didn't do this!"
They are not perverts. At most, they are after money, but they have no other ideas.
Besides, even if they are just looking for sex, their taste is not that strong.
"Well, you two shameless guys dare not admit it!"
Widow Wang rushed forward and slapped him left and right.
Both of their cheeks swelled up instantly.
At this time, someone called out weakly, "Widow Wang, I think I saw a big red pair of shorts outside your courtyard wall today. Is it yours?"
For a moment, everyone present was silent, only the two thieves shed sad tears, and said it was not them, this woman was really cruel.
After this incident, the two men couldn't wait to confess all their crimes. Finally, the village chief brought people to recover all the stolen things and sent the two men to the town public security bureau.
But that's all in the past. Su Xiaoxiao was busy at work, and when the thief just started to explain the crime, she hurriedly got on her bicycle and went to work.
Today I still had to wait at the entrance of the department store.
She rushed to the counter before Chen Meilan opened the door.
Chen Meilan was no longer surprised by her outrageous behavior and even smiled at her. After all, she had recently appeared in front of the leaders and all the leaders had a good impression of her.
I had just stood at the counter, barely catching my breath, when a young man approached me and asked, "Hello, do you have one of those small electric sewing machines, like the ones used in factories, but much smaller?"
The man gestured as he spoke, fearing that Su Xiaoxiao might not understand.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Why is she here to buy a sewing machine again? She just sold two mini sewing machines, but why does it feel like the whole city is talking about it?
Before she could speak, Zhang Yulan beside her said, "Comrade, I'm sorry, we don't have that kind of sewing machine here. Even if we do have it, it's not sold over the counter. Please go to the hardware and electrical counter upstairs and ask."
"Oh, thank you."
After saying this, the man hurried upstairs.
Zhang Yulan nudged Su Xiaoxiao with her elbow. "Why are so many people asking about sewing machines lately? Xiaoxiao, do you think there really are such small sewing machines? Electric ones, too?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Of course she knew, and she knew it very well.
But it is not available on the market yet, which makes people suspicious, so she should keep a low profile.
Thinking of this, she coughed twice: "Maybe it's a new model from Hong Kong or Shanghai, I don't know."
"If there really is one, I'd like to buy one too. An electric one is compact and would be quick and easy to sew."
Zhang Yulan looked expectant.
As they were talking, Chen Meilan came over.
He glanced at the two of them and suddenly asked, "Have many people come here looking for electric sewing machines these days?" The two nodded in unison. Yes, someone came to ask about it every day these two days.
Chen Meilan pondered for a moment and said, "This sewing machine is so popular! I'll talk to my supervisors and see if we can find a manufacturer so we can get some for our department store."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that this thing might not be found anywhere else on the market except where she had it.
After a busy morning, it was soon time for lunch.
Su Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, so she was starving.
Take the lunch box and run to get food.
The person in charge of serving the food was Xu Zhaodi. She quickly greeted with a smile, "Sister Zhaodi."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and immediately gave her a full spoonful of stewed potatoes with meat, the kind with more meat and less vegetables.
Qin Shuang followed behind her and called out sweetly, "Sister Zhaodi."
I was immediately given a large spoonful of potato stew.
Zhang Guoqing, who was standing not far behind the two men, was stunned.
Every time he came to get food, there were more vegetables and less meat. I didn’t expect it was because he didn’t call me sister.
This time, he finally got it.
He eagerly walked to the food window and shouted loudly to Xu Zhaodi, "Sister Zhaodi."
Then, he waited eagerly for Xu Zhaodi to serve him food.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhaodi's hand trembled, and not only did she not give him more, she also shook off a piece of pork belly on the edge of the spoon.
Zhang Guoqing glared: "Why do they have so much meat, but I get so little? Sister Zhaodi, why are you treating them differently?"
Xu Zhaodi's hand shook again, and this time a spoonful of vegetable turned into half a spoonful.
Zhang Guoqing: “…”
How come this is even less?
Xu Zhaodi put the food into his bowl and said expressionlessly, "Next."
Zhang Guoqing looked at the food in the lunch box dejectedly, then took it and sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Shuang.
Looking at the two people’s lunch boxes full of meat and vegetables, I felt so jealous.
Could it be that the way he called people was wrong?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Why does she give you more food when you two call her sister, but not more when I call her sister? Why does she even give me less?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and was speechless. Where did he get the courage to call Xu Zhaodi "Sister" with such an old face? No matter how you look at it, he is older than her, okay?
What's more, he doesn't know her at all, okay?
Meeting her indescribable look, Zhang Guoqing understood immediately: "I know, it must be that I didn't shout enthusiastically enough."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Is it possible that it doesn't matter whether you are enthusiastic or not?
At this moment, a bang was heard nearby.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Dongmei slamming the lunch box on the table in anger.
Zhang Guoqing laughed when he saw her lunch box.
