Chapter 29 Chapter 29 A Good Earning (Revised)
Liu Mianmian carried a bottle of chili water with her every day, and even when Zhu Yongqi was arrested for the second time and taken to the police station again, she did not put the bottle away.
The public security was not very good in the 1980s and 1990s, so it is better to carry this thing with you to be prepared.
I just didn't expect that it would come in handy for the first time in such an occasion.
What was even more unexpected was that the male stall owner was quite resilient. Although his face was horrified by the pepper spray, he wiped his face with his sleeve, squinted his eyes, and actually rushed towards them again: "Fuck you, I'll beat you to death, you stinky bitch, you dare to throw things at me!"
Liu Mianmian grabbed Shen Weiyun and ran, shouting, "Robbery, murder, help!"
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure running towards her from the side. Liu Mianmian thought that this person looked a little familiar, but then she immediately realized that something was wrong. This was Shen Weizhuo!
She quickly pushed Shen Weiyun hard and said, "Run!"
He picked up a broom from the roadside and went back.
Over there, Shen Weizhuo "stumbled" into the male stall owner in a "panic" and "accidentally" elbowed the male stall owner in the abdomen. The male stall owner let out a dull cry of pain and was knocked to the ground by Shen Weizhuo who "failed to stop in time". Shen Weizhuo "lost his balance" and fell down all of a sudden. As luck would have it, his fist hit the male stall owner in the face.
Liu Mianmian held the broom and didn't know where to start.
It seems like there is no need to take action?
Ten minutes later, Huaiping Township Police Station.
The male stall owner, with a bruised face and red eyes, pointed at Liu Mianmian and said, "She poured poisonous water on me. It must have been poisonous water. My eyes and face are burning with pain now."
Pointing at Shen Weizhou again, he said, "And him! He hit me in the stomach and face. I can't even stand up straight now. It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
The police officer turned to look at Liu Mianmian and Shen Weizhuo.
Liu Mianmian sighed and said, "Comrade Public Security, we are all from South City. We came here with friends to join in the fun at the fair today. We don't know this person at all, so there's no reason to beat him up, don't you think?"
"It was him. He had an argument with a few of our friends before, and when he saw us two women alone, he wanted to take revenge. He didn't sell any radishes himself, so he blamed us and said he would beat us to death. We were forced to act in self-defense. We couldn't just stand there and wait for him to beat us to death, could we?"
The police nodded, glanced at the male stall owner, and said, "But the things you threw at him seemed quite harmful."
Liu Mianmian said innocently, "It's just a juice made with chili peppers, alcohol, garlic, and ginger. They're all edible. How harmful could it be? Besides, I was targeted by human traffickers a while ago, and this was all specially prepared to prevent them. Who knew that I didn't encounter the traffickers, but instead encountered scum."
"Damn it, who are you calling a scumbag? You stinky bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"
The male stall owner was about to explode. Liu Mianmian hid behind the police, looking weak, pitiful and helpless: "Comrade Public Security, look, he is going to beat me to death right in front of you."
The police sternly stopped the other party. The male stall owner was so angry that he almost vomited blood and roared: "She was the one who called me a scumbag first!"
Liu Mianmian: "I cursed at you and you wanted to beat me to death. If I don't curse you, who else should I curse? I'm just waiting for you to beat me. I'm not stupid."
The male stall owner, realizing he couldn't get the upper hand in his argument, could only turn his anger on Shen Weizhou: "What about him? What about him? It's true that he suddenly jumped out and hit me, right?"
He stared at Shen Weizhuo, his red eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but Shen Weizhuo remained expressionless as always, looking at him indifferently, almost as if he were looking at an annoying cockroach.
"You chased and beat my wife and sister. I just wanted to stop you in a hurry, but I didn't hit you."
The very gentle tone, coupled with the cold eyes, was full of incongruity.
The male stall owner wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word under his stare.
Liu Mianmian interrupted, "Comrade Public Security, his claim that my husband hit him is completely absurd. My husband isn't in good health. He can barely lift anything heavy, so how could he have the strength to hit anyone? I just bumped into him in a hurry, and luckily I bumped into him in the right place. I'm not promoting superstition, but he got what he deserved. Why is he blaming us?"
She frowned. "He has the nerve to say that my husband beat him. I'm afraid he's too tough and might have hurt my husband's hand. Weiyun, quickly check to see if your brother's hand is broken."
Shen Weiyun immediately went to his brother's side, took his brother's hand and looked at it: "The skin is not broken, but the joints are red."
Liu Mianmian had an expression that said, "See, I knew it."
The police officer looked at Shen Weizhuo. This man was thin and pale, and it was obvious that he was in poor health. Then he looked at the male stall owner, who was big and strong, and his fighting ability was almost obvious.
"You beat me up like this, and you still want to blame me? Wasn't that hand of his that turned red from beating me?" the male stall owner angrily demanded. "Pay me compensation, you must pay me. Without 500 yuan, you can't leave."
Wow, you dare to ask for such a high price.
Liu Mianmian crossed her arms and said, "Public Security Comrades, this man attempted to assault and injure us while no one was around. This is an attempted crime. Please hold him criminally responsible. Otherwise, he'll think his crimes are free and will only become more aggressive. Furthermore, he took the opportunity to demand 500 yuan in compensation from us. This is clearly extortion. Please hold him criminally responsible as well."
Hearing about the criminal prosecution, the male stall owner finally got scared and said in a timid tone: "I didn't hit you, but you hit me. You still want me to go to jail. Do you have any justice in the world? You, you, you have to pay for my medical expenses..."
You still want medical expenses. You are really ugly but have wishful thinking.
Liu Mianmian was not moved at all and insisted on one thing: it was self-defense and she did not hit anyone, and asked the police to hold the other party criminally responsible.
In the end, the male stall owner turned on them and tearfully begged them to let him go, swearing that he would never fight anyone again. Liu Mianmian knew that she had not suffered any harm and that there was insufficient evidence to accuse the other party of intentional injury, making it unlikely that he would be held criminally responsible. So she said that she did not want to waste too much police resources and would not pursue him.
When writing the settlement agreement, the police officer couldn't help but ask Liu Mianmian: "Are you interested in coming to our police station for mediation?"
It was obvious that when they came in, it was the male stall owner who demanded that they be held accountable for the beating. However, as the conversation went on, the topic turned to accusations of intentional injury and extortion by the male stall owner, and then it became a question of whether they should hold the other party accountable.
If this skill of talking is used for mediation work in the police station, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Liu Mianmian: "...I just like a job that pays well, has little work, and is close to home. I won't consider anything else. Thank you very much."
public security:"……"
No, is there such a job in the world?
Looking down at the personal information she filled in, her home address was No. 9 Qiuzhi Lane, which was a well-known "rich area" in the south city.
Okay.
In any case, their Huaiping Township is indeed quite far away from Qiuzhi Lane.
The police station is inside the township government, otherwise the police would not have been able to take the person to the police station so quickly.
The male stall owner didn't know whether he felt guilty or was afraid of being beaten, but he ran away as soon as he got out of the door.
Liu Mianmian stood at the gate of Huaiping Township Government, looked back at the several bungalows with police station signs, and couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't the frequency of going in and out of the police station a little too high recently?"
You know, she was a law-abiding and well-behaved citizen, but in her previous life, until she died suddenly, she didn't know which way the police station door faced.
Who would have thought that after coming to this world, in just over a month, she had been to the police station so many times.
Shen Weiyun said softly, "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome." She looked at Liu Mianmian with sparkling eyes, then turned away embarrassedly.
"Your brother is really good," Liu Mianmian said pointedly, "He just bumped into that scumbag so casually and left him with a black eye. That's quite a feat."
Don't be fooled by her solemn oaths and exaggerated words in the police station. In fact, she herself didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world. She could just bump into someone and turn his head into a pig's.
Shen Weiyun didn't notice anything strange and nodded seriously: "Yes, my brother is also very capable." Although it was a blind cat catching a dead mouse, the result was that it helped them relieve their worries.
Shen Weizhou glanced at Liu Mianmian, his expression unchanged: "It's just good luck."
"Yes, yes, I'm so lucky." Liu Mianmian replied sarcastically and said nothing more.
Just as they reached the market entrance, they ran into Jiang Hongmei hurrying out. Seeing the three of them safe and sound, Jiang Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Liu Mianmian, asking, "What happened? How did you get to the police station? We were so busy we didn't notice, and it was the people at the next stall who told us."
Liu Mianmian briefly recounted what had happened, and Jiang Hongmei interjected greetings to the couple's ancestors. Finally, she concluded, "If I run into them again next time, I'll beat them to death."
Liu Mianmian patted her shoulder: "Making money is important, and harmony brings wealth."
Jiang Hongmei rolled her eyes: "Harmony brings wealth, why did you throw that chili water on him?"
Liu Mianmian: "If I hadn't doused him with pepper spray, a fight would have broken out today. I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy to get out of the police station. Besides, if I hadn't doused him with pepper spray, would I have just stood there and waited for him to hit me? I'm not a fool."
Jiang Hongmei was curious: "What kind of chili water is this? It's quite effective."
Liu Mianmian understood the elegant meaning of the music: "I'll make some again and give you a bottle."
Shen Weiyun raised his hand silently: "I want it too."
Liu Mianmian: "...Okay, all of them."
She urged Jiang Hongmei: "We are fine, why don't you go set up the stall first?"
Jiang Hongmei suddenly laughed, turned her head and glanced back. Seeing Yu Guoliang and the others holding torn straw mats and sacks, she raised her chin slightly and said, "See? We've sold everything!"
"Closing up, we've already closed up!"
Even though Liu Mianmian was very confident about the market in the 1980s and was sure that such a small amount of goods could be sold out in one day, she never expected that the goods would be sold out so quickly.
Liu Anmin ran over, holding a torn straw mat. "Yes, we're sold out, and some people haven't bought any yet. They keep asking us when we can come back next time!"
Yu Guoliang also walked over, his expression a bit dazed, a mixture of disbelief and inexplicable excitement. He murmured, "Yes, they're sold out. Almost everyone bought three. Those who couldn't afford three also found others to buy three together. Three, three, three, and they sold out in an instant."
He sighed: "It's so profitable to set up a stall!"
Jiang Hongmei's smile never relaxed: "Yeah, I didn't expect that setting up a stall could make so much money."
She took out two big unity notes from her pocket, one for her aunt and one for Yu Guoliang: "Today's salary."
My aunt and Yu Guoliang both said that they didn’t help much and were embarrassed to accept it. In the end, it was only after the “investor” Liu Mianmian persuaded them that they accepted it.
Several people declined the aunt's invitation to keep them for dinner. After all, it was still early, and the aunt didn't force them. She repeatedly asked everyone to come and see her when they returned to Huaiping Township. Then she turned around happily and went home, holding the torn straw mat.
Ten yuan was equivalent to a worker's quarter of a month's salary, and she earned it just by lending a broken straw mat and helping to shout a few times.
Back on the tractor, accompanied by the rumbling sound of the engine, Jiang Hongmei happily began to count the accounts. The total profit was 803 yuan. After deducting the 20 yuan for Yu Guoliang and his aunt, the total was 783 yuan. They each got half, for a total of 391.5 yuan each.
Liu Mianmian assumed that she and Liu Anning were in a partnership, pooling their money, so she didn't pay Liu Anning. But it was obvious that they were at a disadvantage, so she said, "You and Liu Anning sold the goods, so each of you will get ten yuan in wages. The remaining profit is 763 yuan, which we will split equally, 381.5 yuan each. Add to the 700 yuan I put in as capital, and you'll give me a total of 1,081.5 yuan."
Seeing her say that, Jiang Hongmei didn't refuse and nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Then she and Liu Anning would have 300 yuan in capital, plus 20 yuan in labor fees, plus 381.5 yuan.
The original capital was three hundred yuan, and she and Liu Anning each contributed half, which meant that the original one hundred and fifty yuan had now become more than three hundred and fifty yuan.
Jiang Hongmei was extremely excited.
She didn't know how many years and how much effort she had put into saving that 150 yuan, but now it had more than doubled in just half a day. She wanted to shout out, "It's really profitable to set up a stall."
Jiang Hongmei had already counted the money by hundreds, and she took out a little over a thousand and gave it to Liu Mianmian on the spot. Liu Mianmian thought for a moment, then took out another ten yuan and gave it back to Jiang Hongmei: "I forgot to count the cost of the tractor, so let's make it twenty. We'll each pay ten yuan."
Neither of them actually cared about the ten yuan. Even Jiang Hongmei, even though she only had a little over three hundred yuan, believed she could earn a thousand yuan in no time. But since they were doing business together, it was better to calculate what was owed and what was paid.
Jiang Hongmei accepted the money: "Actually, it won't cost more than twenty yuan. I'll take this money for Liu Anning and thank you on his behalf."
Liu Mianmian waved her hand: "No need to be so polite."
She casually pulled out another big unity and stuffed it into Shen Weiyun's hand: "Your labor fee."
Shen Weiyun was stunned. Her sister-in-law earned two months' salary of her father in this morning. She felt that her worldview was shocked. She didn't expect that Liu Mianmian would pay her labor fees. She, she, she didn't do anything!
Liu Mianmian seemed to see through her thoughts and added, "Everyone who sees it gets a share."
Shen Weiyun took it with a red face: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ahhh, my sister-in-law is such a good person!
Liu Mianmian said with a smile, "You're welcome," then stuffed the remaining money into her pocket, patted her pocket, and thought to herself, this was a good start today, with a good harvest.
Shen Weizhuo, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but glance at the bulging pocket with a dull expression.
Anyone who sees it gets a share?
Isn’t he a seer?
