Chapter 115 Don’t sit crookedly
Zhao Cuihong was detained, and Shi Xiaoai returned to the tea stall with Sun Gongan and his two colleagues.
At this time, the entrance of the tea stall was crowded with people.
In addition to the customers who knew about this and came over to watch the fun, there were more people coming here who were the new students that the snack shop had just recruited.
Because they have to take the training teachers' time into consideration, their students' classes start at nine in the morning.
When Zhao Cuihong came to make trouble, it was not yet time for the students to attend class, so she was so arrogant at the door, and Wang Xiaofeng and Cheng Lin were outnumbered and at a disadvantage.
But in fact, the tea stalls nowadays are no longer the same as they were in the past. The tea stalls nowadays lack nothing but people!
To put it bluntly, they really took advantage of arriving early!
The most important thing is that these students are still in the probation period, and they are all very excited and don’t know how to perform!
As soon as they heard that they were not there, the tea stall was overturned!
When I rushed over to take a look, I saw that he was still in such a mess...
These fifty students definitely can’t do it!
Well, the dining area for over 50 people was actually turned upside down by four old women. How can I tolerate this?!
Plus, seeing Wang Xiaofeng and Cheng Lin's eyes still red, and hearing that Shi Xiaoai was dragged to the police station by those old women -
All these people were furious!
In addition, more than half of the students recruited this time are male, and they are all at the age of full vigor and vitality. Everyone just wanted to raise their arms and rush to the police station!
This time, Cheng Lin was able to keep his composure. He remembered what his sister-in-law had told him before and held on tightly to the leaders.
Warn them not to move and to stay where they are and wait.
Otherwise, there could be a big mess here.
Before Shi Xiaoai and the others even reached the tea stall, they heard someone shouting, "Manager Shi is back!"
Then there was a loud commotion, and a group of people ran towards her.
Before Shi Xiaoai could say anything, she was surrounded.
Public Security Sun and his colleagues never expected such a situation to happen and were shocked on the spot.
The three people were on high alert, fearing that some social problems would arise.
Shi Xiaoai didn't even bother talking to her students anymore, and quickly explained to them, "These are the new employees we hired at the tea stall. They weren't here before, but they must have heard about the incident and rushed over."
The few people who rushed over immediately started talking at once when they saw the public security comrades.
Some people asked about the specific situation, some wanted to know the outcome, and of course more people wanted to know how Zhao Cuihong and the others were doing now?
Because some of the people here are from the office's jurisdiction, and some live nearby.
They know more about Shi Laoer's family's past than Shi Xiaoai.
Especially the grievances between the two brothers of the Shi family and the old man. Even if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard about it from the elders in the family.
Not to mention the recent incident where Shi Yunpeng's family dumped their father's ashes in a crematorium and refused to even claim them. This is such a heartless act that you wouldn't even encounter once in a lifetime, enough for every household to tell the story for decades.
Now that they knew the police were there to understand the situation, everyone started to tell their story. The police didn't even need to ask any follow-up questions. Everyone just spoke one after another, and told the story in great detail.
Even Shi Xiaoai had to admit that they knew so much!
Knows better than I, the person involved, do.
Although Public Security Sun and his men are from the police station in this area, they are young and don't know much about the affairs of the older generation.
Besides, the jurisdiction is so large that it is impossible for them to know everything.
Shi Daxi had engaged in malicious competition against Shi Xiaoai, so Sun Gongan and his colleagues also went to the office and the surrounding neighbors to investigate.
But when it comes to public-to-public inquiries, everyone will be more cautious in what they say, and no one will talk about such gossip.
But now the students are not afraid!
Firstly, there were so many of them, and no one could figure out who said it with so much chatter. Secondly, they were the ones who suffered!
What was smashed was their store, which would be their future workplace!
Therefore, Sun Gongan and his team learned a lot of information that they had never known before.
I also gained a deeper understanding of that family.
Surrounded by a group of people, they finally arrived at the scene of the smash.
According to Shi Xiaoai's prior instructions, the tea stall was not cleaned up.
Broken glass, rotten porcelain, crooked tables and chairs, and the braised pork soup that was spilled all over the floor...
It looks so painful.
This was a time of material scarcity, and everyone regarded things as extremely valuable.
Especially braised meat like this, which is something that every household may not be willing to eat even once a month. Now such a big pot of it is scattered on the ground with soup, meat and vegetables, and it has been trampled into mud, which is a mess.
No one can stand watching it.
One of the students finally couldn't hold back his tears and started crying: "So much meat! It's all been wasted! How long will we be able to eat it all?"
Some even cursed out loud: "Zhao Cuihong, you have committed a great sin. I will fuck your ancestors!"
As soon as one person spoke up, everyone's anger was like a valve opened, and with a source of anger, they all started to curse.
Many people immediately rolled up their sleeves, and some even suggested, "She smashed our store, let's smash her house! Let her know what it means to feel heartbroken!"
The anger was about to escalate.
Sun Gongan and the others' expressions changed immediately.
Their identities made them more sensitive to the impending violent actions, and they knew better than anyone that the small flames at this time must be suppressed!
Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!
They are about to speak out.
Fortunately, Xiao Ai spoke before they could say anything. She said, "I have already reported the tea stall incident to the police. As you can see, the police are already here.
With the public security comrades here, we have nothing to worry about. The people's police serve the people. I believe that the comrades at the police station will be able to investigate the truth and give us justice!
So, go back to class first. I'll take care of things here, and you guys finish your work first.
Everyone knows that Teacher Song and Teacher Xiao Wang’s time is precious. Let’s not waste it, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer if we don’t learn enough.
"Everyone, hurry up and go over there. It's already half past nine and Teacher Xiao Wang will be at work soon!"
After hearing her say this, everyone realized that it was already past the usual class time.
When the course started, the management made it clear that the exam in a month would be divided into three parts: a written test, a practical test, and daily performance. The admission list would then be sorted from the highest score to the lowest.
After the assessment, everyone’s score list will be announced to ensure openness and transparency.
Because of this, all the students were on edge and focused their attention every day, fearing that they would fall behind and be eliminated if they didn't pay attention.
After Shi Xiaoai's reminder, everyone's attention turned to the class.
After all, apart from your usual performance, both the written test and the practical exam will have to be graded by several teachers.
You still have to take the course well.
After confirming that no help was needed, the students dispersed and ran towards the classroom in Courtyard No. 1 that was specially vacated for them.
And the little bit of instability here before disappeared in an instant.
Sun Gongan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Xiaoai apologized to the three public security comrades and expressed his apologies for the impulsiveness of his fellow students.
"Sun Public Security, don't take what they just said to heart. They won't do anything illegal. I'm responsible for my employees. We will always be vigilant against them and will not cause any trouble to our society."
Public Security Sun said, "You're very aware of this. Our city is cracking down on all acts that undermine social stability. Since they are your employees, you must keep a close eye on them and not let them make any mistakes."
"Please rest assured, Public Security, I will definitely keep an eye on our employees. However, regarding the smashing of our stall, Public Security still has to make the final decision.
This isn't the first time this has happened. If it's not dealt with seriously, I'm afraid they'll become even more unscrupulous.
As you can see, our employees are very angry today. I can suppress this kind of emotion once, twice, but if I am bullied like this all the time, I definitely won't be able to suppress it.
Public Security Sun immediately said, "This kind of thing must not happen again. Why are we here today? To deal with this problem! Don't worry, we have seen the situation here and understand it clearly. We will go back and report now and give you a reply as soon as possible."
Shi Xiaoai thanked him sincerely.
Of course, she was unwilling to resort to private means when the problem could be solved openly through legitimate channels.
But if the problem cannot be solved through legitimate channels, she doesn't mind making things difficult for Shi Laoer's family.
After Sun Gongan and the others left, Shi Xiaoai, Cheng Lin and Wang Xiaofeng cleaned up the mess together.
At this time, Director Yu and others also rushed over. Seeing such a tragic scene, the old ladies couldn't help but start cursing.
Everyone was scolding Shi Lao Er's family, saying they were not human and were not good people.
Shi Xiaoai did not join them in cursing, but asked Director Yu and the others to be witnesses. She and Wang Xiaofeng made a table of today's losses and calculated a number on the spot.
This figure includes damaged tableware, damaged broth, and compensation for the morning guests' meals.
In addition, they also calculated the various losses that would be caused by not being able to operate normally for two days.
After this statistics, not only Director Yu and others, but even Shi Xiaoai herself was quite surprised.
Because when all the losses were counted, the total loss was as high as more than 700 yuan!
Director Yu's eyes widened when she saw the number. She held the pen but hesitated to sign it.
After a while, he looked up at Shi Xiaoai, then at Wang Xiaofeng, and asked hesitantly, "Just that one hit, is there so much?"
When Xiao Ai opened her mouth, Wang Xiaofeng immediately began to settle Director Yu's bills one by one.
"Director, they smashed a total of 167 of our bowls and 123 glasses today. As you know, our bowls are all large, fine porcelain bowls, sold at souvenir shops for 12.5 cents each, which makes 287.5 yuan."
The glasses are even more expensive, at 15 cents each, which makes eighteen dollars and forty-five cents. The two together come to about forty dollars."
Director Yu nodded, but couldn't help but curse Zhao Cuihong again in a low voice.
But after scolding her, she still asked worriedly: "Isn't this only forty yuan? It won't cost seven hundred yuan!"
Without even raising her eyelids, Wang Xiaofeng stared at the paper and continued, "That's just the smallest amount. The biggest amount hasn't been counted yet! She smashed six of our tables and twelve chairs, breaking them all. One hundred and fifty yuan isn't too much, is it?"
"One hundred and fifty?" Director Yu repeated in shock.
The office lady standing behind her was also surprised and said, "That table can just be fixed, it's not that bad."
Wang Xiaofeng raised her head this time.
She first looked at Director Yu, then at the person standing behind her, and asked in confusion, "Aunt Yu, Aunt Guo, which side are you on? They smashed our office's things! Are we saving her money?
Why should we repair it? She broke our good things, shouldn't she compensate us with new ones? Not only should she compensate us with new ones, but she should also compensate us with good ones! We can't accept any furniture that is not made by a reputable woodworking factory!
If we don't make her bleed enough at once, she won't remember the pain! We're being stingy and saving money for her, but maybe we're just harming her! If we don't subdue her this time, there's no telling when it will happen again.
There’s more to their family than just Zhao Cuihong.”
Wang Xiaofeng is Aunt Liu's daughter. She is considered the younger generation in the office and has to call everyone she meets either "Auntie" or "Auntie Mom".
She usually speaks very little in front of these elders, and always smiles when they meet. She is well-behaved and sensible.
Director Yu and the few people who followed her from the office had never seen Wang Xiaofeng talk so much.
But after she finished speaking, everyone actually felt that—
Makes sense!
That’s exactly what happened!
Only then did they realize that they couldn't sit crookedly, because they and the tea stall were one family!
What a fool! How can you save money for the people who are harming them?
Therefore, Wang Xiaofeng and Shi Xiaoai didn't need to say anything more about the rest of the conversation, and the aunts calculated it themselves.
Although they can't use high-end terms like "mental damage compensation", they are all experienced people!
Dozens of precious spices are used in a pot of traditional soup, and these spices are not available on the market. Some are mail-ordered from other places through connections, and some are secret treasures from Shi Xiaoai's mother's family, preserved for decades, and now all of them are added to this pot of soup.
How much is a pot of soup like this worth?
Such a valuable pot of soup was overturned by Zhao Cuihong with one kick. How should this loss be calculated?!
Five hundred dollars is not enough for her!
Shi Xiaoai was listening nearby and was amazed by what she heard.
Especially when she heard that her aunts were almost about to invent an ancestor for her, an ancestor who ran a braised meat shop, she turned around silently and forced herself to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.
Soon, the final version of the compensation documents was listed. The amount this time was almost the same as the one calculated by Shi Xiaoai and Wang Xiaofeng, but the details were written more clearly.
Director Yu signed and stamped the detailed list on behalf of the office, which is also the superior unit of the tea stall. Shi Xiaoai, Wang Xiaofeng and several regular customers who stayed also wrote their names on it as witnesses.
Afterwards, the director and several other aunts from the office sent the detailed list to the police station as evidence of Zhao Cuihong and others' evil deeds that morning, and also as a basis for future claims.
Shi Xiaoai did not go with them. She, Wang Xiaofeng and Cheng Lin stayed at the stall to calculate the actual losses.
The data in that detailed list was indeed exaggerated, but the losses caused to them by Zhao Cuihong were also real.
At the very least, the broken bowls and cups need to be replaced immediately, and the tables, chairs and benches need to be repaired immediately.
When several people were busy, a man came hurriedly.
He opened the tent door without saying anything. He first looked over the scene which had not been completely cleaned up, and then faced Shi Xiaoai who was coming towards him with an apologetic expression.
