Chapter 55 The Endless Connection
The woman hesitated for a moment, but still gave her the rouge.
Liang Huanxue observed it and found that the rouge did look very similar to the one they sold, but the materials used were of very low quality and it was mixed with cheap red dye.
It's hard not to have an allergic reaction if you put something like this on your face.
"Are you sure you bought this rouge from us?" Liang Huanxue handed her a piece of rouge. "I think you can see the difference, right?"
The woman took the rouge Liang Huanxue gave her and touched it carefully. It was smooth and did not stain her hands. There was a faint fragrance when she sniffed it.
But her rouge was not only rough to the touch, but would stain your hands if you touched it, and it also smelled pungent.
"Obviously, you didn't buy this from us. My mother hasn't been at the stall these days because of some family matters. If you've bought rouge here in the past few days, it must be fake."
Liang Huanxue handed the two pieces of rouge to the people around her to look at carefully.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference.
"You say it's fake, so it is fake? What if you mix the fake with the real ones and sell them?" The scarred man didn't believe her and checked all the remaining rouge on the stall.
He didn't find any rouge that matched the one his sister bought.
"Sister, take a closer look. Is the person who sold you rouge my mother?" Liang Huanxue pulled the woman's hand.
The woman didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone, so she took a closer look this time, then shook her head, "It's not her."
"It seems that someone took advantage of my mother's absence and pretended to be her to sell fake goods here. Please make sure to identify my mother."
This was a very cruel move. She made money, but it was her mother's reputation that was damaged.
"Brother, my face, what should I do with my face?" The woman originally wanted to seek justice for herself, but the person who sold her rouge was not there. When she thought about what had happened to her face, she cried out of sadness.
"You were deceived because of us. Since we are here, we should also take responsibility. I will take you to see a doctor. Let's go." Liang Huanxue held the woman's hand and came to the clinic not far away.
The doctor looked at the woman's face, wrote out a prescription, and gave it to Liang Huanxue.
Liang Huanxue took a look and found that two of the medicines were prescribed incorrectly.
While the doctor wasn't paying attention, he secretly crossed out the mark and re-wrote the correct medicine.
The prescribed medicine was ground into powder. Liang Huanxue took a piece of gauze, dipped it in water, then sprinkled the powder on the gauze and applied it on the woman's face.
The itchy face immediately felt much better.
Liang Huanxue gave her some money and asked her to rest here for a while and leave when she didn't feel so uncomfortable.
"Thank...thank you." The woman said embarrassedly.
If she hadn't just taken a quick look, she wouldn't have wrongly accused anyone.
If the little sister hadn't stepped forward to stop him in time, her brother would have definitely overturned someone else's stall by now.
"If you really want to thank me, why not wait until my mother and I don't come to the county to sell rouge, and then expose the people who sell fakes." Liang Huanxue knew that she and her mother couldn't keep an eye on him all the time.
There will always be loopholes.
Even if they emphasize it today, it is inevitable that someone will be fooled in the future.
If someone could expose the counterfeits in person, those individuals would not be so arrogant.
"Don't worry, I will." The woman nodded.
How could she be willing to see her beautiful face being torn into this state?
Fakes are fakes after all and should not be accepted on the market.
If the counterfeiters were willing to spend a little more money on materials, they wouldn't make such bad things.
"That's good." Shen Yuefu felt relieved after hearing that.
Thinking back to what happened just now, she was still frightened.
If Huanxue hadn't stood up bravely, stopped those people, and explained the situation to them based on facts, not only would her stall have been smashed today, but she would also not be able to continue doing business here in the future.
"Mom, since we have finished selling, let's go see Brother Wenxuan and buy some things to take home." Liang Huanxue sorted out the things on the ox cart and drove the cart to Liang Wenxuan's rice wine shop.
The two of them smelled the sweet aroma of rice wine from a distance. Looking up, they saw Qian Cong standing at the entrance of the alley, holding a cup of rice wine in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other, fanning himself vigorously.
"I didn't expect that this guy is actually willing to work. Wenxuan is really amazing." Shen Yuefu was a little surprised when she saw Qian Cong standing at the entrance of the alley.
"If this shop makes money, he can have a share. He's not stupid." Liang Huanxue jumped off the ox cart and ran into the alley.
Liang Wenxuan was busy in the shop. When he saw Liang Huanxue, his face lit up with joy. "Huanxue is here. Where's Fourth Aunt?"
"The ox cart is outside, and my mother has to keep an eye on it. Brother Weijiang said he will come here in two days to help you." Liang Huanxue told him the news in advance.
Liang Wenxuan was startled, "Why would Weijiang want to come here?"
"It's a long story, let him tell you himself." Liang Huanxue felt it would be better for Liang Weijiang to tell it himself.
She won't mix it.
"But I really need a helper here. If he can come, I won't be in a hurry to find him." Ever since Liang Huanxue came back, there has been an endless stream of people coming to buy rice wine.
Some people even brought money to make a reservation and asked him to keep it.
He had to make and sell rice wine at the same time, and he was really overwhelmed. He was planning to talk to Liang Wenxuan and find someone to help.
It would be great if Wei Jiang could come.
"I brought you some rice cakes made by your grandmother. Remember to eat them. I'm leaving first!" Liang Huanxue saw that there were still many people waiting to buy rice wine, so she didn't stay for long. She put down the rice cakes and left.
When I came out, I met a few people buying rice wine.
Liang Huanxue got back on the ox cart, accompanied her mother to buy a few things, and then went back.
Hearing that all the rice cakes were sold out, Mrs. Liang was very happy.
"Then I'll do more next time and go with you to the county town, and visit the academy." She hadn't seen Liang Jialin and Liang Jiaxing for a long time, and she really missed them.
"Okay, I'll take mom with me next time." Shen Yuefu originally wanted to tell what happened today.
But after thinking about it, she decided it was better not to say anything.
After all, there is no evidence at hand, and if we bring trouble to Liu Chunhua, we might end up getting bitten back.
She didn't say it, but someone else did.
As soon as Shen Yuefu left, Liang Huanxue came and told Old Lady Liang what happened in the county town.
However, she did not say that she thought it was Liu Chunhua who did it.
She just said that some rouge was lost these two days, and she didn't know who took it.
Mrs. Liang didn't even have to think about it to guess who had done the tampering.
Liu Chunhua is really thoughtful. She even has her eyes on Yanzhi.
If she really wanted to help, the fourth son's wife would not stop her from helping, but she insisted on focusing her attention on this kind of thing, which was really disgusting.
