Light incense Chapter 8 The road is narrow
The next day, Shi Manxiang reluctantly followed her father to the hospital to visit the mother and son.
"Dad, am I really going?" Shi Manxiang walked to the door of the hospital and asked embarrassedly.
"Of course."
Shi Tianlei did not leave Shi Manxiang any room to refuse.
"Son, I...."
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the sound of the mother and son arguing.
Shi Manxiang frowned, not wanting to bump into the muzzle of the gun at this time.
"Dad, do you really want to go in?"
Before Shi Manxiang could finish asking, Shi Tianlei glanced at her and pushed open the door of the ward.
"What are you doing here?" When the man saw this, Manxiang immediately transferred his anger to them, "Come and see our jokes? ”
"Let's have a visit."
After receiving Shi Tianlei's signal, Shi Manxiang put the fruit basket on the table under the TV in the ward.
"Lao Tzu doesn't eat this."
The man stepped forward and knocked all the fruit baskets to the ground, then picked up the fruit basket on the ground and smashed it at Shi Manxiang.
Shi Manxiang quickly dodged.
"How can you do that?" Shi Manxiang protected her father behind her and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Dead don't talk nonsense, either give money, or you just wait to close the store, I tell you that every day in the next day I will have people go to the door of the store to make trouble, until you can't open it."
Shi Manxiang looked sideways at his father behind him and couldn't bear it: "How much money do you want?" ”
The mother and son looked at each other when she mentioned money, and fell silent.
"Wouldn't it be easy to discuss everything if you talked like this earlier? Even if you told you about the incense that my mother bought at your house, don't you have any responsibility?
Manly arrogance began to be arrogant again.
If it weren't for Shi Tianlei's thousands of instructions before departure, Shi Manxiang really wanted to slap him.
"Then how much money do you want?"
Shi Manxiang asked very bluntly, she didn't want to spend time with them.
"That's the number."
The man held out a finger.
"Ten thousand?" Shi Manxiang said without hesitation, this is already the ceiling in her heart.
"Miss, do you have a problem with your brain?"
The man sneered: "My mother and wife's medical expenses and mental damage expenses, as well as follow-up conditioning, will give you a minimum price of one million." ”
"One...."
Shi Manxiang almost didn't spit at him, it was like a lion's mouth.
One million, the father's savings that he has not eaten or drunk for most of his life may have.
"Don't even think about it."
Shi Manxiang stopped talking nonsense with them this time, and pulled up Shi Tianlei and left the hospital quickly.
Along the way, the father and daughter did not communicate.
As soon as she opened the door, Shi Manxiang's mother Guo Caihua walked by quickly.
"How?"
Shi Manxiang and Shi Tianlei didn't answer her, took off their shoes and walked into the house.
Guo Caihua looked at him suspiciously: "What kind of face are you father and daughter showing me?" ”
"Mom." Shi Manxiang fell on the sofa, "We didn't give you a face." ”
She sighed and looked at her father on the side: "Dad, do you really want to give this million!" ”
"A million?!" Guo Caihua was so frightened that his voice broke, and he hurriedly sat down next to Shi Tianlei, "They want a million?" ”
Shi Tianlei touched his face with his hand, glanced at Guo Caihua and nodded.
"Why! It's not our fault in the first place, and it's a million if we dare to open our mouths. Guo Caihua was indignant, "Besides, where did we get a million?" ”
"That is to say, Dad, it was not our fault in the first place, and if you have the ability, you will go to court."
Shi Manxiang followed her mother's words and said indignantly.
"Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"
On the weekend, Yunyi and Shi Manxiang heard about this on the way to the store together.
"They said they were going to take revenge, but after a few days, they didn't see anyone."
Shi Manxiang opened the door of the store and walked in.
"You don't seem to have sold any incense this week?" Yunyi stood in the store and looked around.
Shi Manxiang nodded: "Now that the market is saturated, people have a wide range of choices, so the income is not good." ”
"But this is a bit too exaggerated, this Monday box of incense has not been sold?" Yun Yi came to the cash register.
Shi Manxiang came behind him and asked cautiously, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this?" ”
Yun Yi turned his head and frowned at him: "Can you show me your previous account book?" ”
When Shi Manxiang saw that he wanted the account book, a dilemma appeared on his face.
The store's ledger is very important, and if it is seen by some competitors, they will face serious consequences.
"If you don't want to, don't force it." Yun Yi turned around and left the cash register after speaking.
Shi Manxiang saw Yunyi's attitude, and for a while felt that she was thinking too much, Yunyi was just a college student in school, and she had helped her before or was her own apprentice, so it was indeed a little heartbreaking for others to be so guarded.
"It's okay, you come with me."
Shi Manxiang took Yunyi to his father's usual resting place, and skillfully entered the code to open the door.
"This is where my father and I rest, and the ledger is in it."
Shi Manxiang explained as she took out the ledger and put it on the table.
"My father majored in financial management in college, so he made all these books."
Yun Yi picked up the latest one and flipped through it.
Half an hour later.
"This is the account book for the first half of the year?" Yun Yi raised his eyes and asked carefully, "Judging from this account, you have lost a lot of money. ”
Shi Manxiang touched her head, she was still a full-time wife at that time, and she was completely unaware of these.
"I don't know."
Her father never told her about that.
"Although you are losing money, you can barely get by in addition to the income of the store and the income from the weekly preaching."
Yun Yi put down the ledger and looked at her seriously again: "How long was the last time you preached?" ”
Shi Manxiang thought for a moment: "Last week on Saturday. ”
"So you haven't had a single sermon in the past two weeks?"
Shi Manxiang was suddenly stopped by Yun Yi's question.
I suddenly felt uneasy.
Shi Manxiang shook his head: "Father said that these two weeks are the off-season, so it will be a few weeks." ”
"Senior sister, it seems that you have been hiding behind your father all the time, and you have never faced things yourself." Yun Yi hit the nail on the head and said Shi Manxiang's current situation.
Shi Manxiang was stunned in place, he didn't expect Yunyi to be able to analyze so much from a single ledger.
"Senior sister, do you usually read any social platform messages?"
Shi Manxiang didn't know what Yun Yi meant by asking: "I rarely watch anything other than the circle of friends." ”
Yun Yi sighed and was a little helpless to her, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket: "Senior sister, I guessed that you must not know the news yet." ”
"Tibetan incense actually caused an eight-month pregnant woman to have a miscarriage, this is the fault of incense or the fault of people. 》
This is an article published by the marketing account of a first- or second-rate newspaper.
It also includes the cries of the victims.
Shi Manxiang's fingertips trembled and held Yunyi's mobile phone.
"This news has been fermented on the Internet, and many networks have also found out that this Tibetan incense shop is yours."
Yunyi took his phone and clicked on the screen: "And there are other Tibetan incense merchants who have come out to scold you for this kind of behavior and make cuts, saying that your own incense will never have such a problem." ”
"Any Tibetan incense is not available to pregnant women."
"Senpai."
Yun Yi interrupted Shi Manxiang's argument: "I know, but it's useless for you to let me know alone." ”
"Those people just want to use the power of online public opinion to ruin your reputation."
Shi Manxiang sat down on the chair with a dull face: "They are violating the right to reputation!" I can sue them. ”
"The trial period for infringement of the right to reputation is 6 months for the trial of first-instance civil cases using ordinary procedures, and even if you win, the harm to you has already been done, and the income of your store will not last that long."
Yunyi was unusually cruel to tell the truth.
Shi Manxiang touched her forehead, her ideals were all her fault, and she was overconfident.
She didn't expect the man to use such a method.
My father has always sold incense offline and has never sold it online, so their news on this channel is close to 0.
"Manman!" Shi Tianlei's voice sounded from the door, "What are you two doing here?" ”
Shi Manxiang raised her eyes and looked at her elderly father, her heart full of guilt.
"What are you doing with the ledgers?" Shi Tianlei rushed up and put away the ledger with an arrow step.
Shi Manxiang got up and came behind Shi Tianlei: "Father, do you know the news on the Internet?" ”
She watched her father's back stiffen for a moment, and her heart suddenly understood.
Her father paid more attention than her.
Her mind was not on this shop at all, and she did not pay attention to her father's efforts at all.
I haven't paid attention to where he came from.
"Manman, that's all nonsense on the Internet, let's just talk about it." Shi Tianlei put the ledger away and turned to her.
"Let's go, let's go make incense."
"Dad! The store has no income because of this, and there is no preaching, and this store will not be able to hold on like this! ”
Shi Manxiang shook her head, she couldn't accept this.
"It's all my fault, and if I had been kind to them, maybe it wouldn't have happened now."
Shi Manxiang couldn't listen to Shi Tianlei's persuasion at all: "I'm going to find them." ”
Shi Manxiang rushed out of the room, ran out of the store, took a taxi on the side of the road and headed to the hospital.
'The trial period for infringement of the right to reputation is 6 months for the trial of civil cases of first instance using ordinary procedures, and even if you win, the damage to you has already been done, and the income of your store will not last that long. ’
She thought about Yunyi's words.
Then she went to them and begged them to come forward and clarify in person.
This shop is the brainchild of my father, he is the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Tibetan incense, and he cannot be slandered and deprived like this.
"Isn't this Miss Zangxiang? Why do you have time to come and see us? ”
In the hospital garden, Shi Manxiang stood in front of the man with her head against her head.
"I'm sorry."
"What?!" The man deliberately shouted loudly, and there were so many sick people in the garden who were basking in the sun that they all looked at her, "I can't hear you." ”
Shi Manxiang's throat rolled, and she bent down and bowed again: "I'm sorry, can you please come forward to clarify the issue about our family's incense." ”
"Clarify what? Isn't it your family's incense problem? The man's attitude was still very arrogant, "Aren't you the one who is still trying to wronged an old man in his seventies?" ”
"I'm sorry."
Shi Manxiang continued to bow and apologize under the gaze of many people in the garden.
"How insincere you are, miss."
Shi Manxiang raised her eyes to look at the man, and then looked at the ground.
She understood what the man meant, and he asked her to kneel down and admit her mistake.
Shi Manxiang frowned, looking at the man resentfully.
Just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to kneel.
"Shi Manxiang? What are you doing here? ”
Yu Bo's voice sounded on the side.
This is the last person she wants to see right now.
