Seeing this, Xiulian gave Gao Dahan a glass of water, he took a sip and calmed down, "Today's sleeves have not been sold, and those sold with new cloth in the past few days have been asking me to return the money." ”

Li Cuihua told the tall man not to worry, she went to call Han Xiao over and discuss how to solve it.

Han Xiao was making new pastries in the kitchen, planning to give them to the villagers to try, but when he heard what Aunt Cuihua said, he didn't have the heart to continue.

Gao Dahan repeated what he had just said, and Han Xiao was a little surprised, "Impossible, Uncle Gao, how could someone come to retreat, is it dirty." ”

Han Xiao looked at the sleeves made, the fabric was very clean, and the needlework was fine, she couldn't see what was wrong.

The tall man hesitated for two seconds, but still said the reason, "They said that this sleeve will not be used for a long time, and it will rot as soon as it is used, and it costs eight cents, so it is not worth it." ”

Li Cuihua glared, pointed out the door and scolded: "They don't have eyes, how good our fabric is, how can it be used for a long time?" ”

"Tear~" There was a sound of the cloth tearing, interrupting Li Cuihua's words, Han Xiao closed her eyes, she walked to the cloth that had not been used, and pulled it gently, and the sound of "tearing" came into her ears.

Han Xiao heard that there was a problem with the cloth, so she subconsciously tried it, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper Liu to pit her, she kept an eye on it for the first time, she didn't buy too much, and there was no problem in selling it.

The second time I was a little relieved, and I felt that the first time there was no problem and the second time there would be no problem, so I bought more, but the problem appeared this time.

Li Cuihua looked at the situation in front of her, a little sluggish, "Ah, this..."

Han Xiao was slightly frustrated, "Auntie, don't talk about it, I've been cheated, I'll go find him." ”

She looked at the sleeves that had not been sold, and was ruthless, "Take these and burn them, and, Uncle Gao, if someone asks you to return the money tomorrow, you can give him a dime more." ”

Things can't work, the three people can understand the refund, but if they give someone a dime more, the three of them can't understand it.

The three of them did not agree with Han Xiao returning an extra dime to others, Han Xiao explained: "Uncle, aunt, this dime will not be taken out for nothing, you believe me." ”

Han Xiao's sworn appearance made people unconsciously believe her, and after a while, the three of them no longer said anything against her.

Han Xiao cleaned up and went directly to the store in the town, the shopkeeper Liu was not there, there was only a newly hired guy in the store, and Han Xiao had never seen it.

She waited in the store for a while, but she didn't wait for Shopkeeper Liu, she waited a little impatiently, "When will Shopkeeper Liu come back?" ”

The guy didn't have a good face for Han Xiao, who didn't buy anything and only stayed here, "I don't know, if you have to wait, you can wait, and if you don't want to, you can pull it down." ”

It was dark, and there were less than half of the people coming and going on the street, and Han Xiao knew that he wouldn't be able to see Shopkeeper Liu today, so he had to get up and leave.

After Han Xiao left, Shopkeeper Liu came out from behind and laughed twice, "Look at what else you do, I don't believe you can still find fabrics, and the money will be mine in the future." ”

Shopkeeper Liu's abacus crackled, and Han Xiao took the goods from him twice, the first time there was no problem, and the second time it was very particular.

Xiao Wang and the newcomer followed behind him, and said in a sycophant: "The shopkeeper is wise, the shopkeeper's trick is high." ”

Shopkeeper Liu replied flutteringly: "That's for sure, and don't look at who I am." ”

The guy laughed twice: "Shopkeeper, how do you do it, the little one also wants to learn." ”

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the man, there was nothing that could not be said, "Do you know about strong alkali?" ”

The guy shook his head and listened attentively.

He continued: "This is what I heard from somewhere else, saying that if you soak the fabric in strong alkaline water, the fabric will become brittle, and it won't take long, but I soaked it for three days. ”

Xiao Wang and his buddies suddenly realized and admired their faces.

When Han Xiao returned home, Li Cuihua and the others were still waiting anxiously, and when they saw her coming back, they gathered around to inquire about the situation, she shook her head and said that she didn't see the shopkeeper Liu.

Then they were left to eat at home, and the four of them discussed it and decided not to sell it now, but to solve the problem of cloth first, and then sell it again.

Han Xiao made the pastries in the morning, took them to the town to sell, and after selling them, he turned around and went to the store to store Liu first, for many days, Liu was either not there, or he used the excuse to go out to save his relatives, anyway, he couldn't see anyone every time.

Later, when Han Xiao was looking for cloth again, he saw Shopkeeper Liu on the street, and Shopkeeper Liu pretended not to know Han Xiao and left in a hurry.

Han Xiao followed behind, all the way to the door of the shopkeeper Liu's housekeeper, she knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a pregnant woman, who was a little haggard.

The pregnant woman looked at the big girl in front of her, her face was ruddy, her body was strong, she took a step back, and asked a little defensively, "Who are you?" ”

Han Xiao hesitated, his expression was a little tangled, unwilling to let his efforts in the past few months be in vain, "Eldest sister, is Shopkeeper Liu at home, I have something to do with him." ”

When the pregnant woman heard that she was looking for the shopkeeper Liu, her face immediately changed, "Which fox spirit did he raise outside, and they all came to the door?" What, look at me as a pregnant woman and a bully? Come on, come on! ”

The surrounding neighbors were attracted by the pregnant woman's shout, and stared at Han Xiao tightly, afraid that she would have something bad for the pregnant woman.

The embarrassed Han Xiao waved his hand and said to the pregnant woman, "Eldest sister, no, you misunderstood, it's a business matter." ”

The pregnant woman said nonsense: "No, she is the lover that Lao Liu is looking for outside, and when she knows that I am pregnant, she wants to be angry with me and let me have a miscarriage." ”

The surrounding people looked at the pregnant woman sympathetically, pointing at Han Xiao, and just as Han Xiao was about to justify, the pregnant woman pretended to be angry and blocked Han Xiao's words.

She didn't listen to what she said, she insisted that it was Han Xiao who came to the door to find trouble, Han Xiao left angrily, and left a sentence before leaving, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." I hope you guys are doing it for themselves. ”

The pregnant woman watched Han Xiao walk away, turned around and closed the door with a smile on her face, how could she still look haggard just now.

Many years later, when Han Xiao was interviewed, he was asked such a question by the host, "What taught you to grow?" ”

She thought for a long time, smiled and recounted this past, the host asked her what she thought about this matter, Han Xiao said: I don't know why I remember this matter so clearly, if I want to say my opinion, I am grateful to the couple back then, they taught me to be prepared for everything.

——

After following Shopkeeper Liu to his house, Han Xiao never met Shopkeeper Liu again, she went to the store to look for it a few times, but Shopkeeper Liu was still not there.

When he went for the last time, he met Xiao Wang, and he told Han Xiao directly that they would not return the money, and if they did it again, they would see her once in the future and drive her away.

Han Xiao could only admit that she was unlucky, so she should spend money to buy a lesson, and from then on, her requirements for raw materials were more strict and harsh.
