Chapter 123: The Essential Tool for Murder and Robbery
CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123: THE ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR MURDER AND ROBBERY
Zhang Yulan tried to explain to the old lady, "Auntie, our pastries are definitely fine if eaten within a week. It’s because they’ve been kept too long that they’re moldy..."
Before she finished, the old lady glared, "I don’t understand what you’re saying. I bought these pastries from you, so you have to be responsible."
"Hurry up and get your manager out here."
As soon as the words left the old lady’s mouth, Xu Cuilan walked over.
"Auntie, please calm down first. We indeed made a mistake by not clearly informing you about the expiration date."
When she said this, the old lady’s expression softened considerably, "So, what are you going to do about it? My grandson is still lying in the hospital."
"How about we compensate you with five dollars, and you be more careful when buying pastries next time? If they’re moldy or kept too long, don’t eat them."
"That’s more like it."
The old lady snorted coldly and took the money, leaving.
Once she was gone, Xu Cuilan looked at them, "You two did well just now."
Su Xiaoxiao recalled the expiration date issue and hurried to suggest, "Manager Xu, I recommend that when we sell loose pastries in the future, we put a label on the packaging with the expiration date and production date, so there’s less chance of problems."
Upon hearing this, Xu Cuilan nodded and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration, "That’s a good idea, I’ll report it up."
After Xu Cuilan left, a disdainful snort came from behind. Su Xiaoxiao turned to see Wang Lili standing behind her with crossed arms, full of contempt.
"Why do you keep sucking up to the boss? You’re such a brown-noser!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "If you’re capable, you could try it too? I think you’re saying sour grapes."
After speaking, she ignored Wang Lili, rolled her eyes, and left.
It was soon quitting time, Su Xiaoxiao tidied up the counter, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to push her bicycle.
Just after leaving, an angry voice came from behind, "Su Xiaoxiao, stop right there."
Upon hearing the voice, she turned to see Zhang Dongmei hobbling over.
Su Xiaoxiao instinctively glanced at her butt, tutted, with her butt in such a state, she still had the energy to come stir up trouble?
Seeing her sneaky gaze, Zhang Dongmei grew even angrier, this damn girl had embarrassed her today.
She must properly teach her a lesson.
"Brother, it’s this damn girl who let the dog bite me. Look, it bit me."
Only then did Su Xiaoxiao notice that there was someone beside Zhang Dongmei.
The person was none other than Zhang Dongmei’s big brother Zhang Guoqiang.
Zhang Guoqiang flexed his wrist, "So you’re the one bullying my sister?"
Su Xiaoxiao incredulously pointed at her nose, "Zhang Dongmei, which eye of yours saw that I let the dog out?"
Ming Ming Zhang Dongmei tried to secretly harm her, but ended up unlucky and getting bitten by a dog. Unexpectedly, she dared to lodge a false accusation.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
"Zhang Dongmei, I think you’ve thrown your face to the sides, shameless on one side and two-faced on the other, blaming everything on me."
"Brother, listen, this damn girl not only let the dog bite me but also called me shameless. Hurry and beat her up."
Zhang Guoqiang had always been protective, upon hearing this, immediately clenched his fists, making cracking sounds, "Sister, don’t worry, brother will avenge you."
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed nervously and took a step back. Zhang Guoqiang looked tall and strong; even if there were two of her together, they wouldn’t be a match for him.
Assessing the disparity between them, she decisively pleaded, "Brother... Brother, calm down. A real man doesn’t fight with women. Hear me out, that dog really has nothing to do with me. If worse comes to worst, I’ll apologize to our sister?"
Zhang Dongmei glared, "Who’s your sister? Who’s your brother? Su Xiaoxiao, you’re dead today! Brother, hurry and beat this shameless vixen to death."
Zhang Guoqiang sneered and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s back collar.
Faced with the tall Zhang Guoqiang, the petite Su Xiaoxiao looked weak and helpless.
"Zhang Dongmei, hitting someone is against the law, you wouldn’t want to send your brother to jail, would you?"
Zhang Dongmei laughed sinisterly, "Don’t worry, I checked when I came; there’s not a soul around here, so no one could testify that we beat you."
In those days, there was no monitoring; without witnesses, it was indeed tough to convict someone.
Never thought Zhang Dongmei could be smart about something, but... hehe...
Su Xiaoxiao displayed the same sinister smile, "That’s great."
"Great for what?"
Zhang Dongmei looked at her puzzled, only to see Su Xiaoxiao calmly pull out a big item from behind.
Zhang Guoqiang was dumbfounded; wait, such a big thing, where did this girl pull it from?
Su Xiaoxiao arrogantly pressed the switch, and the humming noise instantly filled the alley, making people’s scalps tingle.
Her TV shows had paid off, for an electric saw was indeed this era’s self-defense weapon.
Don’t even think about just Zhang Guoqiang; she was confident she could knock down ten or so like him.
She arrogantly shouldered the electric saw, shaking one leg, looking boastful, "Know what this is? This is an electric saw, essential for murder and robbery, buzz it once, and it’ll slice off arms and legs, even carve flowers on your head."
Although Zhang Guoqiang had never seen such a strange thing, he was still somewhat wary deep down.
"Who are you trying to fool? Just that thing can chop off arms and legs?"
"Don’t believe it? Here, Aunt will demonstrate for you."
Su kicked a stone on the ground, hand raised, saw fell, buzzing twice.
The stone that looked very solid was cut in half by the strange thing in her hand in the blink of an eye, easily.
The Zhang siblings were totally stunned, didn’t expect the thing in her hand to be this powerful.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao approaching with the electric saw, Zhang Dongmei swallowed hard, "Xiaoxiao, we... were joking with you."
"Joking?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, shouldered the electric saw and charged at them. Soon enough, the silent alley resounded with cries and howls.
After dealing with the two people, Su Xiaoxiao stowed the electric saw into her space warehouse and leisurely rode her bicycle home.
Just pushed open the door to find, in the center of the main room, a pitch-black person sat, startling her.
What the hell! When did someone from Africa come to her house?
Looking closely, oh, turned out not an African, but her unlucky second aunt Zhang Guifang.
Zhang Guifang saw her return, her face even darker than before, "Sister-in-law, you must give me an explanation for today’s incident."
