Xu Zhaodi slammed the kitchen knife into the chopping board and said coldly, "Is this what I mean?
What I mean is, there are only two of you in the kitchen, and with you two guarding it, how could the meat fly away?
If you don't understand what I'm saying, don't listen. Just stand aside and don't block me from cutting the meat.
If you're really worried, you can weigh it on a scale after I finish cutting it."
Li Fugui was waiting to hear Xu Zhaodi say this.
Li Fugui said, "I think this is a good idea. How about this, let's call Director Zhang to supervise, so that he can testify when the time comes."
Xu Zhaodi said: "No problem."
Xu Zhaodi had already seen Zhang Guilan, but these two people treated her as a fool.
Zhang Guilan lifted the door curtain of the kitchen and said sternly, "Why are you quarreling again?"
Xu Zhaodi pretended to be angry and said, "Director, you see Niu Xiaohong is bullying people on purpose. I sharpened a kitchen knife in the hospital, and she just came in to cut a few pieces of meat and she said that the meat was less again.
Director, you have weighed the meat, 18 jin 9 liang, right?"
Zhang Guilan said, "Yes, it is 18.9 jins. Is there any problem?"
"No problem. I can guarantee now that this meat is 18 pounds and 9 ounces. If you don't believe me, come and weigh it. If it's one pound less, search me and see where I can hide this meat."
Niu Xiaohong looked very proud and said in a positive tone, "Let's weigh it first. Maybe the thief in our store is right under our noses."
Xu Zhaodi knew that the two people in front of her were not easy to deal with. She was confident about this, but she couldn't appear too confident.
Xu Zhaodi shouted angrily: "Niu Xiaohong, who are you insulting?
I'm telling you not to go too far. We haven't even weighed them yet, and you keep making indirect accusations. Believe it or not, I'll pull your hair out."
As Xu Zhaodi said this, she was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Niu Xiaohong.
Niu Xiaohong was so scared that she hid behind Li Fugui. He Damei heard the noise in the kitchen and came in to hug Xu Zhaodi's waist in time.
Xu Zhaodi sneered in her heart, it’s just acting, it’s like everyone knows how to act.
You want to fight me with this little trick?
Zhang Guilan was so confused that she said irritably, "Come on, stop embarrassing me.
Wang Daqing, go get the scale now and weigh it first."
Wang Daqing said: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xu Zhaodi pretended to cry in anger, and finally squeezed out two tears, and said: "Niu Xiaohong, you just bully me on purpose, because you think I am more capable than you, younger than you and prettier than you, so you bully me.
I tell you, this matter is not over yet.
I didn't bother with you about the hair incident last time, but you framed me again today. You are humiliating me."
Xu Zhaodi choked up and her voice sounded slightly sad. In a show of superb acting, she even wiped away a few tears with her sleeves.
He Damei, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable watching this.
He Damei said: "Don't cry, I know you are not that kind of person."
Niu Xiaohong snorted coldly, wishing that Wang Daqing would bring the scale as soon as possible.
Soon, Wang Daqing brought the scale.
Seeing that Xu Zhaodi was very emotional at the moment, Zhang Guilan wrapped the chopped meat and the unchopped meat in white cloth and hung them on the scale. The result was that there was really less meat.
Niu Xiaohong and Li Fugui looked expectant. Xu Zhaodi sniffed, with two crystal clear tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Xu Zhaodi pretended to be anxious and asked, "Sister Zhang, how much is it?"
"Thirteen pounds and three ounces."
"What? Thirteen pounds and three ounces?"
Xu Zhaodi seemed to panic instantly. She looked worried and frantically explained, "Sister Zhang, believe me, I really didn't do this. My hands didn't even touch the beef when I was sharpening the knife. It really wasn't me."
Niu Xiaohong gritted her teeth and said proudly, "Director Zhang, I don't need to say anything now, right?"
Xu Zhaodi said, "I really didn't steal. There is only so much space on my body. Where can I hide five pounds of meat? If you don't believe me, search me."
Niu Xiaohong said: "You really don't have anything on you, but you always carry a cloth bag every time you come.
I think we should search the cloth bag.”
Don't regret it!
Xu Zhaodi bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with anger. She pointed at Niu Xiaohong and said, "I don't allow you to search. You don't have any evidence. Why should I search?"
Zhang Guilan still couldn't believe that the meat could fly away right under her nose.
What's more, Xu Zhaodi is a decent person and it is impossible for her to do such a thing.
Niu Xiaohong pushed Xu Zhaodi, and Xu Zhaodi fell onto the pile of firewood beside her.
Niu Xiaohong grabbed Xu Zhaodi's bag, but there was nothing inside.
Her face changed. Where is the meat?
She had clearly put the meat in Xu Zhaodi's bag with her own hands, how could it be gone?
Xu Zhaodi sat aside and said, "This is too much. If you want to search, search everyone's bags. I said I didn't take anything, you are insulting my dignity."
Zhang Guilan took a step forward and looked at the empty bag in front of her. Not to mention the five pounds and six ounces of meat, there was not even a speck of meat or blood.
Xu Zhaodi said: "Wang Daqing can testify that I have never even left through the back door."
Wang Daqing nodded: "Director Zhang, that's true."
Twenty minutes ago, Xu Zhaodi finished sharpening her knife and was about to go into the kitchen to cut meat. She happened to see these two people whispering to each other furtively. She thought they were trying to steal the meat, but she didn't expect that they were planning to frame her and force her to leave.
Xu Zhaodi simply took advantage of the situation and put the meat she had wrapped into the beef stew while the two of them were not paying attention.
She had thought about getting along with them and her family, but they hurt her again and again.
People can be kind, but not overly kind.
Stealing is wrong, and it is understandable under special circumstances, but it is really disgusting that these two people joined forces.
She wouldn't have gone this far if she had no choice.
But if others don't leave her any way out, she will leave them with no way out.
She was bullied to death in her previous life, so she will never be kind in this life.
Zhang Guilan noticed from the corner of her eye that the cloth bag behind the stove was bulging. Wasn’t this the bag that Niu Xiaohong carried when she was young?
Before Niu Xiaohong could react to what went wrong, Zhang Guilan had already taken her bag.
In full view of everyone, Zhang Guilan opened Niu Xiaohong's bag, revealing a large piece of beef.
Niu Xiaohong was stunned. She pointed at the meat in Zhang Guilan's hand and stuttered out of nervousness.
"Meat, meat, meat... How could meat be contained in my bag?"
Zhang Guilan had a dark face, feeling very disappointed with her.
"I wanted to ask you, how did the meat get into your bag? Why are you asking me?"
"I...I clearly let her go..."
Li Fugui on the side coughed twice, and Niu Xiaohong realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag, so she shut up immediately.
Li Fugui said: "It's good that we found the meat, it's good that we found it.
Xiao Xu, I don't think your sister Niu did this on purpose, so please forgive her."
Xu Zhaodi stood up from the firewood pile nearby, brushed off the sawdust on her body, and said, "Bah, who are you being my sister to?
I have never seen such an unqualified person.
This matter today, it's not something that can be resolved by her saying sorry or forgiving me. The restaurant keeps throwing away meat, and I can't let a newcomer take the blame."
