As soon as the words fell, Cheng Maixiang used the scissors in her hand to cut the clothes into pieces without hesitation. Everyone exclaimed in unison. Someone started to applaud loudly. The applause seemed to be contagious. Everyone clapped together, and some people kept shouting, "Cheng Maixiang, we believe in you!"
"It seems that Shuangshui Village Garment Factory is quite reliable. This may just be a misunderstanding."
"That's right. Even tigers take naps, and we can't guarantee that people will never make careless mistakes."
Yao Tingting said sheepishly, "Actually, there's no need to cut the clothes into pieces. They'll still be in good shape after some repairs."
Cheng Maixiang took her hand and said, "Tingting, I'm sorry. It's my negligence. After lunch, let's go to the grove. I'll return all your money to you, and I'll pick out a new one for you from the clothing shop next week."
Seeing that she was responsible and didn't shirk responsibility, Yao Tingting's anger had long since subsided. She also believed that this was probably an unintentional mistake on Cheng Maixiang's part. She didn't want to take advantage of anyone, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Just give me a piece of clothing, no need to return the money."
"No, what I, Cheng Maixiang, say always counts. If you sell poor quality clothes to customers, you should be fined. There's nothing to say about it."
Yao Tingting nodded with emotion and suddenly said, "By the way, my aunt saw the handkerchiefs I bought yesterday and asked me to buy her two. You don't have to return the money, just consider it as the price of two handkerchiefs."
"Okay." This time, Cheng Maixiang didn't refuse. Looking at the shredded shirt in her hands, an idea struck her. "Tingting, if you don't mind, I'll use the material from this shirt and have someone embroider two handkerchiefs for you. I'll think of a nice pattern for you. What do you think?"
Yao Tingting immediately clapped her hands and said, "Okay, it's settled. You can't go back on your word."
Seeing that the problem was solved, everyone dispersed without any more excitement. Cheng Maixiang returned the scissors to Niu Lina, who was standing blankly by the side, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Niu. If it weren't for your scissors, I really don't know how I would have solved this problem."
Niu Lina held the scissors in her hand and looked at Cheng Maixiang in disbelief.
In her opinion, such a big crisis, which could ruin her reputation in school, was resolved so easily by her in a few strokes.
This time, not only did it not cause any bad influence on her, but it allowed her to take the opportunity to promote the garment workshop and establish its reputation among her classmates, which made her feel even more unwilling.
But at the moment, she could do nothing but retract the scissors angrily and said coldly, "Cheng Maixiang, stop pretending to be a good person. Don't think I don't know your true face. One day, I will let everyone know what kind of person you are."
After Niu Lina finished speaking, she left without looking back, leaving Cheng Maixiang feeling both amused and helpless.
My true face? Isn't that what the decent people would say when they are framed by the villains and can't prove their innocence? Why is it being used on her?
However, she was too lazy to pay attention to her little tricks. If she had any tricks in the future, she would just deal with them as they came.
Cheng Maixiang was about to enter the classroom when a voice suddenly came from behind her, "Maizi, come with me."
Cheng Maixiang turned around and saw that it was He Qiuhua and Feng Yan, both of whom were looking at her seriously.
"Feng Yan, are your clothes torn too? Don't worry, I will compensate you."
"Hey, who asked you to accompany the clothes? Come with us quickly. We have something important to tell you."
Feng Yan dragged Cheng Maixiang to a corner of the school. Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Yan asked solemnly, "Maizi, have you offended Niu Lina?"
Cheng Maixiang thought she had seen how Niu Lina was making things difficult for her, so she smiled and said, "I don't know what I did to offend her. She always makes trouble for me. I don't understand why."
Cheng Maixiang told them everything about her report to the school that day. They looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with Niu Lina that made her go against Cheng Maixiang in every way.
Feng Yan said quickly, "I thought you two had a huge grudge, but after all this time it's just a small matter. Niu Lina is so petty. She's so narrow-minded to retaliate over a few angry words."
He Qiuhua shook her head. "She wasn't angry. She was just jealous of Maizi, so she did it. She's so vicious. I should stay away from her from now on."
Cheng Maixiang seemed to know something after hearing what the two of them said, and asked hurriedly, "Why do you say it was Niu Lina who did it?"
Feng Yan looked at He Qiuhua. "Yesterday afternoon, during our labor class, Qiuhua was thirsty and came to the classroom to drink water. From a distance, I saw Niu Lina sneaking out of the classroom. At first, I thought she would also come back to drink water, but I don't think so. She must have caused the torn clothes."
He Qiuhua nodded and continued, "This morning, Feng Yan told me that she bought a pair of pants from you yesterday, and when she got home she found a tear on the leg for no apparent reason. However, she remembered clearly that when she took them from you, the pants were in good condition, and she checked them carefully, and there was nothing wrong with them. So how could they have been torn?
After checking it out, her mother said that it was cut by a sharp weapon. When she heard me talk about Niu Lina's strange behavior yesterday, she wanted to secretly discuss it with you to see what method you could use to test her.
Who knew that when we got to school, we saw her openly making things difficult for you. Now we are even more certain that she did it. She was just waiting there, ready to add fuel to the fire."
Cheng Maixiang sighed, "That's right, this explains why the clothes that were damaged were all from girls in our class. The clothes bought by students from other classes were all in good condition, and all the handkerchiefs were in good condition, not damaged either.
