Chapter 199 Frame-up
"You see, this one thousand taels is not a small amount for us." Xu Miaomiao held the silver note in his hand and looked at the woman and said, "But if I want this money, I have to find out how this chicken fell to the ground and died first."
"Is there any need to ask?" The woman glanced at Xu Miaomiao and said, "As soon as I turned around, I saw your youngest son standing at the door with my chicken. When I went to check, the chicken was already dead."
Xu Miaomiao naturally didn't believe the woman's one-sided words. She found Xiaobao beside her and patiently squatted down to ask, "Xiaobao, did you kill this chicken?"
Xiaobao's tears of grievance kept rolling in his eyes. He looked at Xu Miaomiao seriously, shook his head, and gestured with his hands: Mother, it's not me, I don't have it.
Xu Miaomiao naturally believed what Xiaobao said.
He immediately looked at the woman and said, "You saw it too. My child said it wasn't him. But you saw him kill the chicken with your own eyes, and you want to put the blame on him!"
The woman turned her eyes and saw a kid in the crowd watching the fun. She quickly stopped him and said, "The kid from the Bai family, come here and testify. Didn't you say you saw him kill the chicken with your own eyes?"
The child was suddenly called and immediately walked towards the crowd.
Xu Miaomiao winked at Gu Yuanniang, and Gu Yuanniang quickly stepped forward to stop the boy, and walked over to him by the collar.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The boy struggled in Gu Yuanniang's hands.
Gu Yuanniang carried him to Xu Miaomiao before putting him down.
As soon as the boy came over, Xiaobao rushed out, grabbed the boy's arm and was about to bite him.
"Xiaobao!"
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped the impulsive Xiaobao.
At this moment, Xiaobao was looking at the boy in front of him viciously, as if he had some deep hatred.
"Xiaobao, tell mother, what happened?"
Xu Miaomiao hugged the boy in her arms with heartache and asked Xiaobao.
Tears immediately wet his eyes. Xiaobao pouted and looked at Xu Miaomiao aggrievedly, signing in sign language: He was the one who killed the chicken, not me.
"Of course mother knows it wasn't you. What happened when you fell to the ground?" Xu Miaomiao asked patiently.
Xiaobao was a little anxious, and his sign language was intermittent: I just got home, and saw him trying to steal a chicken. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't beat him. When he saw someone coming out, he ran away.
Others didn't understand Xiaobao's sign language, but Xu Miaomiao knew what he meant and told the woman exactly what Xiaobao said.
The woman's eyes turned, even if it wasn't her, she would find a way to put the blame on her department store. She pointed at Xiao Bao and said, "He can't even speak, why do you believe him? Who knows what he is gesturing at!"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Xiaobao with heartache. She now finally understood Xiaobao's helplessness. He couldn't speak and seemed to be living in his own world. She didn't understand what he meant.
Gu Yuan's mother couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she walked over to the boy and asked, "Tell me, did you kill the chicken?"
The boy had never seen such a scene before and burst into tears: "It was either me or he who killed the chicken."
The woman next to her saw this and pretended to cry, pointing at Xu Miaomiao and saying, "You have such a big store, and you didn't even compensate me for this chicken?"
Xiaobao's eyes were red. When he saw the boy like this, he stepped forward, but was stopped by Song Weiwei who was standing beside him.
"If we killed the chicken, we would of course compensate." Xu Miaomiao sat down on a chair nearby with a gloomy face: "But if it wasn't us, we won't admit it even if you sue the authorities!"
"Oh, everyone, come and take a look. The department store is bullying its customers. It was clearly their doing, but they refuse to admit it. To you it was just a chicken, but to us it was a month's living expenses. They are bullying us poor people." The woman sat on the ground like a tantrum.
The number of people at the door increased instead of decreased, and they all stretched their heads out to curiously look at what was going on inside.
Gu Yuanniang watched this scene, walked to Xu Miaomiao's side and whispered: "We are just cooperating with the court now. If something like this happens, it will probably be disadvantageous to us."
Xu Miaomiao nodded to Gu Yuan's mother, but faced with such a situation, she really had no choice. She couldn't admit to such a thing and let Xiaobao live in injustice, but there was really no evidence now.
"Who is it? Who is bullying my son?"
The crowd was bustling with people. A woman holding a kitchen knife squeezed out of the crowd and walked in.
Looking at the crying boy, I felt a little distressed: "Son, who bullied you?"
The boy pointed at Xu Miaomiao and sobbed.
The woman walked towards Xu Miaomiao with a kitchen knife. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately took a stick and blocked in front of Xu Miaomiao.
"You are bullying my son!"
Xu Miaomiao could feel the woman's saliva spraying on her face, and she unconsciously took a step back.
"Madam, shouldn't you ask about the situation first?" Song Weiwei on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke up.
The woman had obviously seen this kind of scene often, and her hand holding the kitchen knife was not at all panicked.
"My son is a well-behaved boy at home. If anything happens to him when he falls down, it must be your fault!"
"Enough!" Xu Miaomiao shouted in dissatisfaction: "What a mess my store has become!"
Xu Miaomiao walked past Gu Yuanniang, looked at the two women who were making a scene in front of her and said, "The most important thing now is who killed the chicken."
Xu Miaomiao slowly spoke up, "Whoever killed the chicken must have left evidence on his hands. Open your hands and take a look. It will be clear who caused it to fall to the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's hand dodged behind him, and Gu Yuanniang stepped forward and grabbed the boy's hand.
The woman standing by saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop them: "What are you doing? Don't touch your son!"
During the struggle, the boy's hand accidentally opened, revealing a wound inside, as if it had been pecked by a chicken.
On the other hand, there was nothing in Xiaobao's hands.
"Now you know who did it." Xu Miaomiao said calmly.
The crying woman on the ground was not giving up. She naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to frame Xu Miaomiao and wanted to continue arguing, but Xu Miaomiao didn't give her the chance: "We won't blame you for the false accusation. Who killed the chicken? Go find him."
Gu Yuanniang, who was standing by, also wanted to chase them away after hearing this.
Upon seeing this, the woman holding the kitchen knife immediately grabbed her son and hurried away in shame. The woman behind her chased after her and wanted her to pay compensation. Of course, this all happened outside the department store.
