The last time Xuguo accidentally knocked someone unconscious, and that person pretended to be dead, it was still hard for him to forget. That incident almost made them go bankrupt and they couldn't even run their store. This time they had to be careful.
Seeing them retreat two steps, the woman thought they were afraid, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Why, are you afraid of me? I advise you to go out and ask around. Who on this street doesn't know my title as the Umbrella Lady? Hurry up and put away your rotten things."
Xu Miaomiao frowned and looked at the woman in front of him with dissatisfaction. He took a step forward and said, "I calculated that the price of each umbrella is two coins in total. I wonder how you are going to pay?"
"What two taels of silver? Why are you blaming me for this?"
"First of all, this eaves is my eaves, and the umbrellas hanging on it are also mine. Madam, you came up without knowing the truth and threw all my umbrellas on the ground. You destroyed the umbrellas and they can't be sold. If you don't sell them to me, who else can you sell them to? Besides, even if you think we blocked your sun, you can persuade us with kind words, but you didn't. You just came up and destroyed it. The sun is not privately owned by your family. Unless you can prove that the sun belongs to you alone, I won't let you pay for it. Otherwise, we will go to the government to argue about who is right and who is wrong in today's matter?"
When the woman heard Xu Miaomiao say this, her face darkened. She took two steps back in a somewhat unconfident manner, frowned at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "You are such a sharp-tongued woman. I will not give you this money. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, the woman was about to leave. Xuguo, who was standing by, came forward and grabbed the woman with a stick, saying, "If you don't give me money today, you can't leave."
Seeing that the woman had not returned yet, a man came out of the shop opposite. He was a little fat, with a big belly. He walked slowly towards the woman and said, "Madam, why haven't you come back yet?"
When the woman saw the man coming, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried: "My life is so miserable. If you don't come, I will be beaten to death by them."
Song Weiwei was startled by the woman's sudden change of attitude and took two steps back in fear. This was originally a busy street, and after seeing such a farce, many people stopped to watch out of curiosity, and the number of people gathering around increased rapidly.
The woman started to throw a tantrum on the ground and said, "I just wanted Madam Xu not to hang the umbrella on the eaves, so that our family can see the sun. But Madam Xu didn't listen and took out a stick to hit me. Husband, if you had come a step later, I might have been beaten to death here."
When the people around heard what was said, they began to whisper, "That's right. I heard that this Madam Xu's family had beaten someone before. Such a black-hearted person dare not come again."
"Yes, yes. It wasn't long after the death. How could this happen?"
Someone nearby heard this and retorted in dissatisfaction, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't that incident prove that the man was not killed by their family? Someone else took advantage of them and wanted to blackmail them. How can you believe everything you hear?"
Xu Miaomiao has run the shop for so long, and she has seen a lot of people who throw tantrums. There is only one way to deal with such people, and that is to treat them in their own way.
Xu Miaomiao saw the woman suddenly burst into tears, and she also pretended to be wronged and said to the woman: "My lady, if you are kind enough to advise us, how can we not do it? But you stepped on the stool and destroyed all my umbrellas. You clearly know that my family is a shop opened by several women, and life is not easy. Unlike you who have a grown man to support us, we women have to do everything by ourselves, and it is not easy to hang up the paper umbrellas. You took down my umbrellas as soon as you came, making it impossible for my family to sell our things. How can I live?"
The woman on the ground never expected Xu Miaomiao to do this. She was frightened by her appearance. She pinched her thighs to make herself cry even harder. She said, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? It was obviously you who came out with a big stick to hit me first, so I got scared and accidentally tore your umbrella. You just called me a slut. Are you going to turn all this upside down?"
Seeing this, Song Weiwei said with some dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about? Those dirty words were obviously used by you to scold us. If it weren't for you destroying our umbrella at will, how could we take out sticks to chase you away?"
The man behind the woman saw this and immediately said, "You are all from the department store, so you should speak for the department store. It's still unknown who started it!"
The inn next door had always been on good terms with the department store, and the innkeeper had eaten a lot of their snacks because of Xu Miaomiao. Seeing this, he immediately said, "I was watching the scenery from the attic just now, and suddenly I heard such a noise downstairs. I looked over curiously, and it was indeed this woman who took the lamp first and dismantled the umbrella of Shopkeeper Xu's family. Shopkeeper Xu's Xiao Si came out with a stick to chase them away."
Some people testified that public opinion had changed. Everyone was looking at the couple selling umbrellas, and the bad words quickly dissipated among the crowd.
"I thought they were not good people. I bought an umbrella from them a few years ago and it ripped me off. But the umbrella went bad within a few days."
"That's right, this couple doesn't look like good people. They were the ones who did the bad thing first, but they are blaming others for it. I guess I can't come to their house to buy an umbrella in the future."
Listening to everyone's complaints, the couple immediately left in shame.
Seeing this, Song Weiwei wanted to stop them and ask them to pay back the money, but Xu Miaomiao stopped her and said, "Although the umbrellas were dropped on the ground by him today, they are not damaged, but just covered with dust. It is about to rain, so why not sell these umbrellas at a discount? If anyone wants one, everyone present today can buy one."
When everyone heard this good news, they immediately swarmed over and surrounded the department store. All the umbrellas were sold out in an instant.
Seeing this, Song Weiwei was overwhelmed with the math, luckily Xuguo was there to help.
Xu Miaomiao was busy at the front desk, helping guests choose umbrellas.
