Chapter 51 There's something wrong with these two bills of yours.
The woman quickly stepped back, appearing as an honest, law-abiding citizen, and said, "She has wronged me. Please, you must uphold justice."
After resting for a while, Deng Xiuzhen's mind was completely clear. She looked at the woman and said, "I clearly gave you three items, but you only have two."
The woman said, "Don't wrong me! I've been here the whole time, I haven't left for a moment. If you don't believe me, search me, search right here, search this place and see if you can find it!"
As the woman spoke, she opened her bag, unbuttoned her coat, and lifted it up for the people around her to see.
He shouted, "Can you help me check if I took her clothes?"
Deng Xiuzhen was unconvinced and went forward to take a look. She found that the woman really didn't have anything on her body, and she was only wearing an underwear, but the underwear looked very familiar.
She suddenly remembered that it was one of the three pieces of underwear she had given her!
She pulled the woman aside and said, "This is it!"
The woman shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"
Someone said, "How could it be this one?"
Some people said, "Impossible, did she come without a bra?"
Some people even said, "This woman doesn't look like she's missing a bra."
……
The police did not determine where the underwear came from because they simply could not.
After seeing that Deng Xiuzhen only had messy hair and wrinkled clothes, but no injuries, they told them to let it go.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to let it go, but she couldn't produce any evidence.
No matter how angry or upset you are, there's nothing you can do but console yourself in a self-deceptive way: it's just a piece of underwear, let it go.
After everyone left, she was cleaning up the merchandise when she discovered that this wasn't an isolated incident: a lot of clothes had been stolen from the store, including not only underwear but also sweaters and coats!
Looking at the mess on the shelves, she suddenly realized: it wasn't just that woman stealing her underwear by herself, but a trap set by a group of people.
The woman caused a disturbance, and two other people who were guarding the door came in when they heard the noise, shoved her, and shook her until she was dazed, then led passersby in to watch the commotion. Then their other accomplices took advantage of the chaos to come in and steal things.
Unfortunately, even if she figured it out, it was useless; she couldn't produce any evidence.
When Yingzi came over after get off work that evening, she was also quite helpless when she saw the situation.
She said, "This isn't your fault, but things have gotten so big today, even the police came. You've not only offended my customers, but you've also damaged my shop's reputation. So I can't keep you here any longer."
You lost these goods while they were in your possession, so you definitely have to compensate for them.
But you're innocent too, so I can't be too heartless. So, I'll charge you the wholesale price.
"Deduct my wages, but you can compensate me for the extra amount."
Deng Xiuzhen was very grateful to the understanding Yingzi, and quickly settled the accounts as Yingzi had instructed, and then resigned from her job.
Deng Xiuzhen has a psychological trauma related to this store; she still feels pressured.
But now I can't find a suitable job. The shop owner is a nice person, and she has experience from her past life. She is good at taking precautions, so she should be able to avoid the things from her past life from happening again.
Just as she remembered, Yingzi had her try it out, just like in her previous life, and then had her go to work the next day.
The things that happened in my past life have happened again.
However, Deng Xiuzhen was experienced and handled the situation with ease:
Are you buying underwear? Let me help you figure out roughly what size to get, so I can check if you're wearing a bra.
Having been fooled once, I will never allow anyone to come naked again; they must leave dressed without paying.
You don't need to go in together. Come in one by one, take a few items in, and hand them over to me when you come out.
If you want to buy it, pay the money first, and then I'll give it to you.
The clothes in the "Mini Clothing" store are of good quality, and Deng Xiuzhen is good at business, so the daily turnover is quite good.
In order to close more deals, she gets off work later and leaves the cooking at home to her children.
On weekends, the children simply bring their homework to her place to do, and she can also help watch over it.
That afternoon, business was booming as always, with customers buying, browsing, and trying things out in droves.
Deng Xiuzhen talked until her throat was dry and she was dizzy from being so busy. But she managed things well, not only taking good care of the customers and selling a lot of clothes, but also not losing a single item.
When Yingzi arrived, Deng Xiuzhen was happily counting money.
“There’s something wrong with these two bills of yours!” Yingzi said, looking at the money in Deng Xiuzhen’s hand.
When Deng Xiuzhen took it out and looked at it, she found that there was indeed a problem!
The figures on these two banknotes are rather blurry, not refined, and not clear.
There is no fluorescence when viewed against the light, the watermark is blurry and unclear, the edge outline is not obvious, and the portrait is not three-dimensional.
Deng Xiuzhen immediately realized that she had received counterfeit money.
She was both angry and anxious. Who could she turn to? Even if she could remember who gave her the counterfeit money, what could she do if the other person denied it?
There was nothing she could do but accept her bad luck once again.
I was in a bad mood, so I brought up the counterfeit money when I got home.
Wenjing advised her, "Just be more careful next time."
Wenxin said, "Mom, this is a good opportunity to teach us how to identify counterfeit money."
Deng Xiuzhen patiently taught the children how to distinguish between real and fake money.
This interruption completely dispelled my frustration.
Having received counterfeit money, Deng Xiuzhen naturally became more cautious. No matter how busy she was, she would carefully check each bill before accepting it.
She paid particular attention to the 50 and 100 yuan notes. And she never received counterfeit money again.
She stopped receiving counterfeit money, but counterfeit money started coming to her door.
That evening, a woman came over with a child. She said that Deng Xiuzhen had given her 50 yuan in counterfeit money the day before.
Deng Xiuzhen said, "Impossible, where would I get counterfeit money to give you change?"
She definitely didn't have counterfeit money; the counterfeit money she received that day, she tore up after teaching the children.
The woman said, "This is the change you gave me."
Deng Xiuzhen said, "If I gave you counterfeit money in change, why didn't you say so to my face?"
The woman said, "Anyway, you gave me this counterfeit money as change, so you have to pay for it!"
The child also said, "You'd better pay back the money right now, or you'll regret it!"
"What are you doing?" Wenjing came over to bring food to Deng Xiuzhen.
“Where did this child come from? Mind your own business!” the woman said.
"How is my mother's business any of your concern?" Wenjing put the food on the table, crossed her arms, looked at the woman, and said coldly.
"Mom, let's go!" the child whispered to the woman, his head hunched over, completely losing his earlier bravado.
"Mom, what's going on?" Wenjing turned around and asked Deng Xiuzhen.
“As soon as they arrived, they said I gave them 50 yuan in counterfeit money yesterday. Where would I get counterfeit money?” Deng Xiuzhen replied.
"You eat, I'll handle this." Wenjing said, looking at the mother and son, and cracking her knuckles. "My mom says no, so it's definitely no. If you say yes, then show me the evidence."
The woman said, "The money in my hand is the proof!"
Wenjing took a step forward, tilted her head and looked at the woman, saying, "There's such evidence?" She then grinned.
The child next to the woman jumped up and ran away.
The woman, confused, rushed after the child.
