367. Chapter 367 Shooting oneself in the foot



Before Qin Jinlian came, there were three stalls selling cold drinks on the entire street, including Shen Baolan's.

One of them mainly sells ice jelly and cold shrimp, another sells eight-treasure porridge, mung bean paste, white fungus soup, etc., and Shen Baolan's products are the most simple and have no special features.

But with her eloquent tongue, she was always able to attract customers, so business was always good.

It was not until the appearance of Qin Jinlian that the situation of the three families operating independently was completely broken.

Qin Jinlian's cold water, ice jelly, cold shrimp and yogurt popsicles are not only delicious but also large in portion and affordable, making them very popular among diners.

The stall selling cold porridge was fine, after all, the products of the two companies were different, so it was not affected much.

Under Qin Jinlian's attack, Shen Baolan's business and the two stalls selling ice jelly plummeted.

The vendor selling ice jelly was an old businessman. When he saw that the situation was not right, he simply changed the location.

Shen Baolan was unwilling to give up. The school was on summer vacation, and the busiest area during the summer vacation was North Street.

Before Qin Jinlian came, she could earn at least seven or eight yuan a day.

After Qin Jinlian came, she not only failed to make money, but actually lost money.

Shen Baolan originally wanted to join forces with the vendor selling cold porridge to drive Qin Jinlian away, but the other party refused.

The old lady selling cold porridge has been setting up a stall in this area for several years. She has her own regular customers, and Qin Jinlian's presence has little impact on her.

Shen Baolan had no choice but to go to Qin Jinlian alone to argue and demanded that she move to another place.

Not to mention that Qin Jinlian's cold water stall was doing very well and it was impossible for her to just sit there and make money. Just because of the conflict between the two families, Qin Jinlian would not leave.

Liu Cuihua in the village made fun of her for not being able to give birth to a grandson, so she would make trouble for Liu Cuihua's daughter in the city.

Seeing that being soft didn't work, Shen Baolan decided to resort to tough tactics.

She stopped doing business and just stayed in front of Qin Jinlian's stall. Whenever a customer came to buy something, she would tell the customer that Qin Jinlian's things were not clean and that eating them would make the customer sick.

In a short while, several groups of guests were driven away.

Qin Jinlian was so angry that she pointed at Shen Baolan and cursed at her.

Shen Baolan was not a pushover either. She put her hands on her hips and started cursing at Qin Jinlian. The two of them got more and more angry, and finally they started smashing the stall and fighting.

Finally, they both went to the police station.

After receiving the call, Shen Mingzhu was not in a hurry. She finished the things at hand before picking up her bag and riding her Mulan bike to the police station to rescue the person.

When Shen Mingzhu arrived at the police station, Qin Jinlian and Shen Baolan were arguing fiercely.

Each of them thinks that they are not wrong and it is the other's fault.

Shen Mingzhu didn't waste any time and directly presented Shen Baolan with two options: stay in the police station overnight or reconcile and go home.

In cases of fights and disputes like this, as long as both parties reach a settlement agreement, the police station will not pursue the matter or impose penalties.

Shen Baolan put forward a condition to Shen Mingzhu: "If you want me to reconcile, you can sign for me."

This was not the first time Shen Baolan had been to the police station. She was afraid of being scolded by her in-laws, so she did not dare to call them to rescue her.

Shen Mingzhu almost laughed out of anger, "Am I your mother? But even if you want to be my daughter, I still despise you."

Shen Mingzhu then told the police officer directly: "If the other party is unwilling to reconcile, you can punish him according to the public security regulations. I will pay the fine no matter how much it is."

The police officer looked at them and said, "Are you sure you don't want to reconcile? The fine will be at least fifty."

When Shen Mingzhu heard that she had to pay a fine, Shen Baolan immediately gloated, "I won't reconcile, you fine her!"

The police officer looked at Shen Baolan as if she was mentally retarded and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Mingzhu: "Okay, fine me, fifty, right? I'll go pay it right away."

Seeing this, the police did not try to persuade them much. They were happy to see someone rushing to pay the fine.

After paying the fine and signing the document, Shen Mingzhu took Qin Jinlian away.

Shen Baolan curled her lips at the backs of the mother and daughter, turned around and made a phone call to the town, asking someone to give a message to her brother Shen Hao.

The message was indeed brought back, but it was brought to Tian Wenfang.

Tian Wenfang remembered the grudge against Shen Baolan and deliberately did not tell her in-laws.

After leaving the police station, Shen Mingzhu turned around and looked at Qin Jinlian.

Qin Jinlian felt guilty when she saw her, and she said aggrievedly, "It was Shen Baolan who provoked me first and drove away all my customers."

"You're not hurt?"

Qin Jinlian had already prepared herself to be scolded. Going to the police station was not an honorable thing, and she was also fined fifty yuan. The thought of it made her feel sad.

Unexpectedly, her daughter not only did not scold her, but also cared about her.

Qin Jinlian was flattered, she held Shen Mingzhu's hand with tears in her eyes, "I knew it was not in vain that I raised you as my daughter."

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "That's not what you said before."

Qin Jinlian was embarrassed.

Shen Mingzhu didn't say much. She let Qin Jinlian pack up her stall and went back to the factory to work.

Shen Baolan waited and waited until the sun was about to set, when finally her family came to rescue her.

But the person who came was not Shen Hao, but Zhou Shuhuan.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Shuhuan ignored her and turned to find the police to sign and go through the formalities, preparing to take Shen Baolan home, but was told that he needed to pay a fine of fifty yuan.

Shen Baolan didn't understand, "Hasn't Shen Mingzhu already paid the fine? Why does she have to pay more?"

The police officer looked at her as if she was a fool. "If you don't want to reconcile, then we can only punish you according to the public security regulations. You and Qin Jinlian will each be fined fifty yuan."

Shen Baolan was dumbfounded when she heard that she would also be fined.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I want to settle. If I settle now, does that mean I don't have to pay the fine?"

"It's late, pay the money."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baolan regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Zhou Shuhuan's face also looked unhappy and he was very embarrassed.

It was only when he received a call from Pei Yang that he learned that his wife had a fight with his brother's mother-in-law and was taken to the police station.

I came here directly after get off work and didn't have that much money on me.

There was no choice but to call my family and ask them to send money over.

When Shen Baolan returned home in the evening, she was greeted by Ma Sufen's gloomy face.

Including this time, Shen Baolan has been to the police station for the third time.

It is conceivable that when the news spreads, the people in the family compound will not know how to laugh at the Zhou family.

It would be strange if the Zhou family could treat her well.

After the fight, Qin Jinlian continued to sell cold water and ice jelly at the stall, and her business was getting better day by day.

In contrast, Shen Baolan's business has been in a slump because her products are not competitive.

After not making any money for several days, Ma Sufen's attitude towards her became much worse. She was either sarcastic or complaining that she was not as capable as Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Baolan was very depressed, and she was jealous of Qin Jinlian who made a lot of money selling ice jelly and cold shrimp. She also wanted to sell ice jelly, but unfortunately she had no skills. If she wanted to find someone to teach her, the tuition was too expensive and she couldn't bear to do it.

She is also a talented person, and she actually set her sights on Shen Mingzhu.

"As long as you teach me the craft, I will give up the North Street location to your mother and I will set up a stall somewhere else."

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she laughed. She told her to get out. "If you have a brain disease, go get treatment. Don't come here and make a fool of yourself."

Seeing that there was no hope for her to learn the craft, Shen Baolan was furious: "Shen Mingzhu, you did this on purpose. Seeing that I made money from setting up a cold water stall, you asked your mother to compete with me for business. You just can't stand seeing me do well. Why are you so vicious?"
