Chapter 18

“I do see this vegetable seller quite often. But this spicy noodle seller has only been here for the past one or two days.”

“That Aunt Huang is absolutely impossible to speak up for this female comrade. She is in the same group with this female comrade!”

“I think what Boss Yan said makes sense. She said that she and Aunt Huang saw Comrade Feng add something to the spicy noodles, and Comrade Fan and the others’ stomach upset might be related to Comrade Feng. No matter how much Comrade Fan trusts Comrade Feng, he would at least be suspicious for a moment. This is a human instinct. But Comrade Fan didn’t doubt it at all. I think, either Comrade Fan and Comrade Feng have a very, very good relationship, so good that he trusts Comrade Feng unconditionally, or Comrade Fan knows the real reason for their stomach upset, so he doesn’t doubt Comrade Feng at all. No matter which point it is, there is something wrong with Comrade Fan and Comrade Feng.”

“Yes, no matter how you look at it, Comrade Fan and Comrade Feng are more like a group of people!”

Feng Lingling’s hands and feet turned cold as she listened to the passers-by’s comments, which had completely changed the tone of the conversation.

It’s none of her business! She was dragged here by Fan Fuying! She doesn’t want to get into trouble and affect herself and her man!

Although Fan Fuying’s man was of a higher rank than hers, she usually followed and fawned on Fan Fuying. But if she allowed the current situation to continue, she and her man would probably be finished here!

“I really didn’t add anything to the spicy strips, and I didn’t have a stomachache!” Feng Lingling pointed at Fan Fuying with pale lips and said, “It was her! She made me lie and say that I had a stomachache after eating spicy strips! Sister Guo and I ate spicy strips yesterday and didn’t have a stomachache!”

“Feng Lingling!” Fan Fuying gritted his teeth, his face looked extremely ugly, and roared in a warning.

But it was too late. Feng Lingling was completely panicked, or rather, she had already distinguished the pros and cons and did not want to bring trouble upon herself.

“Also, Shuai Shuai couldn’t have eaten the spicy strips! The spicy strips that the three of us ate yesterday were all bought by me, and we went back after we finished eating all the spicy strips. Shuai Shuai couldn’t have eaten the spicy strips sold by Sister Yan!” Feng Lingling said again.

The crowd watching was in an uproar.

“Oh, Comrade Fan not only lied himself, but also taught his son to lie!”

“I believed her and stood on her side. She has played us around!”

“Comrade Fan is so mean! Comrade Yan was doing his business honestly and didn’t provoke her, but she brought her son to Comrade Yan’s stall to cause trouble. Stealing someone’s money is like killing his parents!”

Fan Fuying’s face was pale, and it seemed as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing.

She never expected that her perfect plan would go wrong because of Feng Lingling.

She really wanted to slap Feng Lingling hard a few times now.

But she didn’t dare to move! If she really slapped him, wouldn’t it make everyone even more angry?

Fan Fuying grabbed Shuai Shuai’s hand and wanted to escape from here.

Yan Xi would not let her go so easily.

As soon as Fan Fuying raised her foot, Yan Xi spoke up: “Okay, Sister-in-law Fan, you really came here to cause trouble on purpose, and you even brought your son with you!”

“You spilled all of this uncle’s spicy strips on the ground, so compensate him!” Yan Xi pointed at the uncle whose spicy strips were knocked out of his hand by Fan Fuying.

The uncle was still angry for Yan Xi, but when Yan Xi reminded him, he said, “Yes, I bought a piece of spicy noodles for 20 cents, and you knocked it to the ground. You have to compensate me.”

Before Fan Fuying could react, the onlookers echoed his voice with a common hatred for the enemy.

“Yeah, you have to pay for it.”

“If you knock over someone else’s stuff, you have to pay for it.”

“Pay compensation quickly!”

Seeing that the passers-by who had been speaking up for her suddenly switched sides to Yan Xi’s side, Fan Fuying felt very upset.

A bunch of lackeys!

She cursed in her heart, counted out one dollar and twenty cents with a red face, and handed it to her uncle.

She was about to leave holding Shuai Shuai’s hand when Yan Xi spoke again.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You came here and caused a scene. My reputation was almost ruined by you. And you want to leave just like that?”

Fan Fuying stopped again and glared at Yan Xi as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

“Look at you. It was you who brought your son here to cause trouble, but now you’re acting like I’m the bad guy.”

Yan Xi sighed pretentiously: “When doing business, harmony is the most important thing. I didn’t want to pursue it, but since you are so unconvinced, I’ll just send you to the police station and let the police give you a good lesson.”

Fan Fuying was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.

Police station? ? Public security? ? ! !

How could she enter such a place? ! ! If she went in, it would definitely affect her man! !

“Sister Yan, it’s just a small matter. I made a mistake. Now I have made it clear. Is there any need to report it to the police?” Fan Fuying said in a stiff tone.

“Of course it’s worth it!” Yan Xi said the cruelest words in the lightest tone: “Fortunately, I explained it clearly. If I didn’t, with your tolerance and viciousness, I would be the one to go to the police.”

“Everyone, what do you think – should we hand her over to the police -?” Yan Xi stared at Fan Fuying and asked all the onlookers in a loud voice.

“Should–“

“We must send them to the police—”

“She didn’t even apologize and said she was mistaken. She didn’t look like she was mistaken before. It’s obvious that she is here to cause trouble.”

“Since you think it’s a small matter, then go to the police. If it’s really a small matter, the police won’t do anything to you, so what are you afraid of?”

The onlookers kept talking to each other, which made Fan Fuying feel so disappointed that she almost couldn’t stand.

Feng Lingling and Guo Xia stood aside, trying to reduce their presence. Now, one of them was extremely glad that she had spoken out the truth, and the other was extremely glad that she had not interrupted too much, otherwise, they would have both been taken to the police station.

This Yan Xi is really cruel!

Although Shuai Shuai was very arrogant before, he was just a child after all. Seeing everyone denouncing him and his mother, he was so scared that he couldn’t speak.

An enthusiastic comrade called the police over, and Yan Xi, Fan Fuying and three others were invited to the Public Security Bureau.

Although the person went to the Public Security Bureau, Yan Xi didn’t want to fall behind in the spicy strips business, so she asked Aunt Huang to help her sell the remaining spicy strips.

Several people gave statements and the police also figured out the whole story.

Fan Fuying’s behavior can at most be considered as slandering a military wife, and the only punishment the police can give her is a warning and an apology.

Yan Xicai didn’t care about Fan Fuying’s apology. Fan Fuying couldn’t apologize sincerely, so what was the point of asking her to just go through the motions?

When you run a food business, you are most afraid of customers coming back and saying that they felt sick after eating the food you sell. Because you don’t know whether what they say is true or not, and you can’t prove it yourself, it is easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of this loophole.
