Luo Xing continued: "Actually, he started a business because he wanted to make money on his own to repeat his studies. The leader of Liang County No. 1 Middle School at the time said that she could come back to study at any time. And according to her sister, Hu Shujuan once asked her mother to buy a new fountain pen for five cents before the college entrance examination. But her mother didn't give it. ”

Liu Pengcheng asked again: "Did she repeat it later?" ”

Luo Xing said: "No, the clothing business she started with borrowed money is getting bigger and bigger, and Liang County is a small place, so it is impossible to hide it from her parents." Later, her parents found out that all the goods she had hidden confiscated, set up their own stalls to sell them, and forced her to ask where she bought the goods, almost beating her to death. Her mother was pregnant at the time. ”

Liu Pengcheng sighed: "This is not a matter of virtue at all!" ”

Luo Xing said: "Liu Ju, you are right, but later his sister Hu Shumei released her." She went to Qinghu at that time, planning to be a salesperson at the stall where she bought goods, and she didn't dare to go back. As you said, because Hu Shujuan ran away, their parents poured their anger on Hu Shumei, and said that if Hu Shujuan didn't come back and tell them where to buy the goods, they would cripple Hu Shumei's legs and marry a second-rate son. ”

Luo Xing said this, and said with a strange face: "As a result, Hu Shumei also plans to run away, these two people have gone crazy in order to give birth to a son." just thought that Hu Shumei could find Hu Shujuan, and Hu Shujuan was nearby, so she beat Hu Shumei every day, just to force Hu Shujuan out and ask her where she bought the goods from, so that she could buy the goods to make money and pay the fine, and register her son with a household registration. As a result, when the two of them were beating Hu Shumei one day, Hu Shujuan's mother stretched it, and then they both miscarried. The children are five months old and have not been saved. It's a baby boy. Then Hu Shumei also took advantage of the chaos to run away. ”

After their mother had a miscarriage, it was determined that they could not have children again. And the husband and wife fought to the death and ran away from both daughters. From that time to the present, the Hu Shujuan sisters have given some alimony every year.

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Then the relationship between their sisters is very good?" ”

Luo Xing shook his head decisively: "It's not good, it can be said to be very bad." ”

This Liu Pengcheng was more surprised, Hu Shujuan and Hu Shumei sisters can almost be said to be dependent on each other, and the relationship is not good?

Luo Xing said: "When the sisters started, they did business together, and in fact, they are doing business together now. From small stalls to market stalls, to shopping mall counters, and large boutiques, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them monopolize the high-end clothing in Liang County. However, their relationship only began to deteriorate after the business became bigger. ”

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Why?" After making money, there was a problem with dividing the money? ”

Luo Xing said: "No, they have been splitting the account since the day they did business together, and they have been until now." The reason for their bad relationship is that her sister has always wanted to do it herself. At first, she wanted to open another boutique house, but later Hu Shujuan disagreed. Hu Shumei thought that Hu Shujuan was afraid of competition between the sisters, so she wanted to make her own mid-range clothing or open a mid-range clothing brand store. Hu Shujuan still disagreed. ”

Liu Pengcheng said: "Actually, this is understandable, Hu Shumei is now in her thirties, no one wants to be behind her sister at this age, when she has a family and a mouth, and her ability is not bad, but can't she do it herself, do not have to ask Hu Shujuan to agree?" ”

Luo Xing said: "We also have this question, so we asked Hu Shumei why we had to ask Hu Shujuan to agree, Hu Shumei said that if it was a normal family, she would have done it herself." Because they have been splitting accounts from the beginning of their business, in fact, in theory, the two sisters have the same amount of money. But what Hu Shumei said also makes sense, what is the situation of their sisters, the whole county knows, if there is a little contradiction because of the separation, they will become a joke in Liang County! ”

Liu Pengcheng also felt that what Hu Shumei said was very reasonable. nodded: "That is to say, although Hu Shumei has a conflict with his sister Hu Shujuan, she has no motive to commit the crime." Right? ”

Luo Xing said: "Hu Shumei has no motive, but her husband Cheng Lin has!" In fact, Cheng Lin was the first to propose the separation of families and their own work. And just recently, when Cheng Lin was drinking with his friends, he said more than once that he was such a big man, and he had to beg for a living under his aunt, if Hu Shujuan didn't agree to split the family again, he would rather kill her! ”

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Does he have time to commit the crime?" ”

Luo Xing said: "No, he has a very hard alibi. But this person's social relationships are complicated. Zhou Shujuan's clothing business is actually done by the three of them. Zhou Shujuan is responsible for the total and purchase. Zhou Shumei is in charge of operations and store management, while Cheng Lin is in charge of public relations and outfield in Liang County. ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Pengcheng understood. The two sisters have such a big deal, and it is an open-faced business, in the eyes of some people, it is simply an unguarded piece of big fat. And their business is down-to-earth, and they have been open steadily until now, you can imagine how good this Cheng Lin's connections are, and among them, there will definitely be some "Taoists". Therefore, Cheng Lin's alibi is very likely not of much use.

Liu Pengcheng asked again: "Have you checked Hu Shujuan's relationship with Qinghu?" ”

Luo Xing said: "Her relationship on Qinghu's side is actually divided into two parts, one group is a clothing wholesaler. In fact, Hu Shujuan rarely buys wholesale goods in Qinghu, and she usually buys goods to Nanyue Province or Shanghai.

And many of these people helped her when she was in the most difficult time, and even gave her credit in the first place. Now that her business is good and the grade is high, she just throws people aside and doesn't buy from others, so these people don't have a good impression of her.

There is also a group of people who are all kinds of high-end clothing specialty stores here. Their cooperation is actually divided into three kinds, the first is the library of these clothing stores, which will be taken away and disposed of by Hu Shujuan, because there is still a gap between the county and the city, so the clothes that are not easy to sell in the city may not be sold in the county.

The second is the new clothes, which will provide samples to Hu Shujuan. If there is a guest who likes it, he will immediately drive to Qinghu to pick up the goods. Then go back and sell it to customers. There is also an urgent pick-up, for example, someone is wearing a Dupeng suit, and then his friend also wants a set, at this time Hu Shujuan has to drive to Qinghu to pick up the goods and hand them over to the customer.

But recently, Hu Shujuan seems to have opened up some relationships in Guangdong, and often brings some brand-name clothes back to sell, and it is much cheaper than Qinghu's stores or counters. There are also parallel imports. Therefore, Qinghu's brand-name clothing agents are very dissatisfied with her. And I'm worried that she will mess up the market in Qinghu, because it's not a day or two since she found a suitable location to open a store in Qinghu. ”
