Chapter 128 What are the red lines?



Compared to the bustling carriage on Meng Zhen's side, Li Li's side felt a bit uncomfortable.

Last time, Chen Wentao was criticized by Secretary Wang for making a mistake at work. After returning home, he finally stood up and had a fight with Li Li.

Tell her to stop causing trouble in the team, especially to avoid bringing bad luck to Captain Liu’s wife.

Li Li was still depressed. It turned out that he had given her a second-hand piece of clothing without telling her, causing her to lose face.

How come he suddenly thinks he's right?

Li Li is usually competitive, and when she and her partner argue, she always wants to gain the upper hand even if she is not in the right.

However, even a clay figure has a temper. When Chen Wentao really got angry, she immediately softened.

Finally, the couple reached a consensus that they should not interfere in Captain Liu's family affairs in the near future.

So today, Li Li sat opposite Meng Zhen. Although she had a gloomy face, she kept her mouth tightly shut and didn't dare to cause any trouble.

Wang Juan sat next to her and saw Meng Zhen being surrounded and praised by several family members.

Normally at this time, Li Li would have been unable to resist making a few sarcastic remarks, but today she was like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, with no movement at all.

She rolled her eyes and noticed the skirt Li Li was wearing today.

"Sister Li, I have two new dresses recently. Would you like to come to my place and try them on later?"

Li Li agreed readily: "Okay!"

After saying that, she lifted up the hem of her skirt and said, "Oh, what a coincidence! What I'm wearing today was bought from you! Look!"

She turned sideways to show Wang Juan.

"Don't tell me, when I went out wearing this, several family members were asking about it. They all liked it!"

Finally, Li Li was interested in chatting and curled up the corners of her mouth.

Turning around and seeing the family member next to him, he remembered what he had asked last time: "Hey, didn't you think my skirt was pretty last time? I bought it from Juan'er. It was very affordable and beautiful!"

"Yeah, sister Li, you suit this color better than me."

The family member next to him glanced at Meng Zhen, smiled awkwardly and praised Li Li.

But I was wondering in my heart, is Sister Li stupid?

It is obvious that Wang Juan's style is imitated from the skirt sold by Meng Zhen, and the man is the team leader.

The person involved was right at the scene, but she still brought up things that were not related to the topic.

When Li Li was praised, she became complacent again.

"Hey, you guys, this skirt made by Juan'er is really good. I can knead it, wash it, and even put it in the yard to dry in the sun. The quality is excellent! The most important thing is that the price is very affordable!"

Everyone present knew about the dispute between Li Li and Meng Zhen.

It's not right to accept this, nor is it right to ignore it.

Wang Juan started the conversation. She smiled and said, "Well, my purpose in selling clothes is to let everyone wear affordable and beautiful clothes. We are ordinary people. Those flashy and expensive fabrics are not suitable for us."

In one sentence, anyone can hear the innuendo in it.

A family member of the second team who happened to be sitting at the end was also wearing the skirt sold by Wang Juan.

The skirts Meng Zhen sells are too expensive for her to afford.

Wang Juan then made the same model, but the price was less than half.

She immediately bought one.

"Yes, Sister Juan, you're absolutely right. We're used to a rough life, cleaning or cooking every day, so clothes need to be practical and durable. If it weren't for you, where would we buy such an affordable skirt?"

Wang Juan waved her hand and said modestly, "Well, we all live in the same family compound. Making money from my business is secondary. The most important thing is to seek benefits for the sisters. I just got two new skirts. Come over and try them on!"

The family member smiled and nodded: "We must support Sister Juan!"

Li Li followed suit: "Let's go together after we deliver the meal. I just happen to want to buy another one."

Three women, one drama.

The stage was set up, but Meng Zhen just refused to take the lead.

While looking at the scenery, he lazily stretched out his hand to fan himself.

It was such a hot day, and she didn't want to engage in a heated argument with Li Li and the others.

The skirts they were wearing were obviously made of the lowest quality polyester fabric.

The pattern didn't match her fabric at all, at most it was just an imitation of the style.

It is thick and irritating to wear on hot days.

And the way the color is highlighted is a bit strange.

Just as I was thinking about it, the Dongfeng truck stopped.

The driver, Xiao Wang, shouted, "We're here!"

The family members, who were all wilted by the sun, stood up and prepared to get off the car.

Li Li, Wang Juan and others are closer to the exit.

Xiao Wang set up a ladder at the back of the truck bed, and Li Li and the others got off first.

When Meng Zhen and the others got off the bus, Li Li had already walked to the front.

A group of family members stared at Li Li's calves, some of them surprised: "Am I seeing things? Why are there so many red streaks on her calves?"

Someone else discovered that another family member also had it on his leg!

"Ah! What is that?"

Someone soon reminded Li Li and the family member.

The two men looked down at the red marks on their legs.

It's also a bit confusing.

Meng Zhen smiled and said, "Could it be that the fabric has faded? The tie-dyeing process takes a long time and is complicated. Some private dyeing workshops cut corners by not rinsing the fabric long enough and selling it prematurely, which can cause this kind of discoloration."

"Plus it was hot and I was sweating, which made the discoloration worse."

Li Li and the family member were stunned.

Subconsciously, I reached out to rub the skirt on my body.

Sure enough, as soon as I rubbed my hands, they immediately turned a little red, the same as my calves.

Meng Zhen was right, the fabric was fading.

The two looked at Wang Juan.

This happened to two customers at the same time, and Wang Juan couldn't explain it even if she had eight mouths.

It just so happened that these people had been in the car for such a long time.

She was panicking inside, but her expression immediately showed a trace of guilt: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I was so focused on lowering the price for everyone that I didn't expect to be ripped off by the fabric seller..."
