"That… "
Erni was about to speak when unexpectedly a white figure stumbled towards them.
Su Qiao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Erni aside quickly and avoided the oncoming person.
"Xiao Qiao!"
The person who came looked like he was about to cry, with a trembling and choking voice, which frightened Su Qiao so much that she pulled Erni back several steps.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to scam me?"
"We are several meters away from you. We can't even reach you. Don't try to extort money from you."
The expression on Xia Xiaodie's face froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted, wiped her eyes, and became tearful again.
"Xiao Qiao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I got jealous and asked my brother to trick your Sanlang into saying something, so..."
Xia Xiaodie shrugged her nose sadly, wiped her eyes, and then stared at Su Qiao with red eyes and said:
"Xiao Qiao, this really has nothing to do with my mother, nor with my uncle's family. They don't even know that the formula of this tooth powder is from your family. If you want to blame someone, just blame me!"
"I just beg you, I just beg you not to hire people to smash my uncle's grocery store again."
"My grandfather's family of more than a dozen people depend on this grocery store for their livelihood. If the store cannot be opened, the whole family will starve to death."
The more Xia Xiaodie spoke, the more tears she shed, as if the sky was falling. In the end, she knelt on the ground with her face covered, completely heartbroken.
"Xiao Qiao, please, have mercy on them and spare their lives! As long as you can spare them, you can ask me to do anything, even be your slave or a maid."
Su Qiao was a little dumbfounded.
Isn’t this a bit too much
She hired people to smash her uncle's shop
Is there something wrong with this woman's brain
Erni was so angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who hired people to smash your shop? It was obviously the things you made that harmed people, so they came to your shop to make trouble. What does this have to do with us?"
"Humph, you want to put the blame on my Su family? No way!"
Xia Xiaodie opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to. Finally, she nodded repeatedly as if she had accepted her fate:
"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. We were wrong. I just beg you to show some mercy and let my grandpa's family go."
"You...?" Erni was almost mad to death, she pointed at her and was speechless.
Because it was the time when people finished work in the fields and were preparing to go home for lunch, there were quite a few people passing by, and soon many villagers gathered around.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that Erya's uncle was suspected of selling counterfeit goods, causing many people to feel sick. His shop was smashed and he was arrested by the government."
"I know about this. Zhou Lihua, the eldest daughter of the Su family, went to the headman's house to make trouble. It was the Xia family who stole the secret recipe of the old Su family, and then her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Yuehong secretly took it back to her parents' home."
"But from what Xiaodie said, it seems like she stole the recipe?"
“I don’t know about that.”
"Whatever the case, this is not a decent thing to do."
"That's right. Their livelihood was stolen, so of course they have to make a fuss."
"But, did Su Jia Dani really hire someone to smash up the grocery store?"
"I think this possibility is very small. The three generations of the Su family have all been educated, and Old Su has always been a reasonable person. He would not allow his granddaughter to do such a thing."
"What if it's true? Don't forget that this Su family's Dani is just like her mother, lazy and greedy, sometimes arrogant and unreasonable."
"What you said was in the past. Now, the eldest daughter of the Su family, Nicole, has become more diligent. Not only is she good at working in the fields, she can also go hunting in the mountains. She is also much more energetic."
