Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 516 Questioning

“So, what do you think, Mrs. Lin? Didn’t you say you come to my shop every day? Shall we compare the evidence?” The lady boss smiled faintly but asked sharply.

The lady boss was very confident.

During the quarrel, she was observing from the side. They didn’t know this woman, but she came to cause them trouble. Moreover, she kept saying things that were meant to slander their shop’s reputation. The lady boss looked around and spotted the familiar faces of their competitors and the smug smile on their faces.

She immediately concluded that this woman was hired by their competition to ruin their business. Therefore, she reminded herself to calm down.

Her husband was helpless when facing this unreasonable woman. He was a gentleman. So it would be her job to deal with this woman.

Lin Xiufang looked at the smiling lady boss. A flash of guilt and panic flashed across her face.

Her eyes darted around, and her reaction was quick. She immediately retorted, “Who knows if you have deleted the incriminating footage or not?”

Director Li and the others who were listening gave Qiao Shiling a big thumbs up and said with a smile, “Awesome! Director Qiao, where did you find such a talented person? She’s fierce and quick-witted!”

Qiao Shiliang said with a smile, “To deal with a woman like Miao Fenghua, we have to find a woman who is sharper than her!” Those in the business knew how sharp Zeng Qinghua’s wife was. Usually, Zeng Qinghua wouldn’t be able to say anything when they had a troublesome customer. It was Miao Fenghua who settled everything. Facing Lin Xiufang’s question, Miao Fenghua didn’t get angry. Instead, she laughed and said loudly, “Do you think I can change the surveillance footage’s time stamp?”.

Lin Xiufang put her hands on her waist and said arrogantly, “Why not? In this modern era of technology, there is nothing that can’t be faked. The cameras are yours, and you have full control over all the footage!” Zeng Qinghua and his wife, “….” This woman definitely came well-prepared. No matter what they said, this woman had the ability to retort.

Temporarily, even the lady boss didn’t know what to do.

Noting their silence, Lin Xiufang immediately burst into laughter and said, “I was right! You have nothing to say now, right?” At this moment, Director Li of Li Family’s vegetable shop appeared. He stood in front of Zeng Qinghua and said with a sense of justice, “Ol Zeng, we have been neighbors for so many years, but we didn’t know that you are such a black-hearted person.

“How can you sell crops that are harmful to your customers. Most of them are even your regulars who have frequented you for years!”

Director Zhang also came and said sternly, “Ol Zeng, how can you do something like this for money? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Zeng Qinghua’s face darkened, and he was very angry as his competition came to mock him.

At this time, the lady boss retorted sharply, “I say, Director Li and Director Zhang, the truth hasn’t even been found yet. So don’t go slandering our name. Everything is based on this woman’s words. Besides,” The lady boss looked around and said loudly, “Ol Zeng and I have been doing business here for so many years. When have we ever harmed a customer?

“I trust that our regulars know Ol Zeng and my character.

“With regards to the invisible woman who claimed she came to our shop to make daily purchases, Ol Zeng and I have not seen her before yesterday. I believe our regulars can verify that.”

The lady boss’ mind was sharp. Since the woman was rallying their regulars against them, then she would do the same. She would implore the regulars to be the judge.

“Lady, you said you buy vegetables from our shop daily. Let me ask you, when do you come to buy vegetables every day? Usually, what vegetables do you buy, and who is the cashier? “Also, which of my real regulars do you know? Since you said you frequent our shop daily, you’ll have to have made some friends with my regulars. Which of my regulars are your friends, or which regular of mine actually know you?”

The Lady Boss’s words sounded very plain, but every sentence was very sharp. The keyword was regulars.

Didn’t you say you came to buy vegetables every day? The shop owners couldn’t see you, but what about the other regulars?

The lady boss was making a gamble. She had no idea if her regulars had been bribed or not. However, she knew that most of her regulars had a good standard of life. It would not be easy for them to be bribed.

As soon as the lady boss finished speaking, some regulars added, “I frequent this shop daily. I am familiar with Boss Zeng and his wife. I admire their character.

“They have both organic and normal vegetables. But we really think the organic vegetables taste really good and are really good for our health. “My family has been eating their vegetables, and we don’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, after my eldest grandson ate these vegetables, he became clear-headed and focused. He slept soundly at night, and the next day, he went to school full of energy. Even the teacher said that he made rapid progress in his studies.”

“Uncle He, now that you mention it, I realize that my granddaughter is also the same. In the past, my granddaughter was very picky with her food. She was also very naughty and liked to talk in class. She always disturbed the students next to her while they were studying. I can’t count the amount of time her teacher has complained to us already.

“But after I cooked her the organic vegetables here, she stopped being so picky at mealtimes. That day, when I went to pick her up at school, the teacher actually praised her! She was very attentive in class, and she didn’t disturb the other students!

“But now she disturbs me because she wants to have the organic vegetables here every day. Haha!

“It’s been quite some time since we started buying the organic vegetables here. There’s nothing wrong with my family. In fact, my whole family feels much refreshed, and my granddaughter’s studies have improved. So I don’t believe these rumors at all.”

An old gentleman said, “Besides, I’ve heard that Jun Hao Hotel is also serving dishes made from these vegetables.

“The vegetables have been tested at the lab. These crops aren’t injected with hormones at all. On the contrary, there is an active molecule in these vegetables that can regulate people’s health and make people more energetic.”

This old man had a certain status before he retired. Naturally, he had a certain network. People would send him any information he wanted.

“Ol Zhang, Ol He, you’re so right. When my husband was young, he injured his legs. He would suffer from extreme pain when the weather was cold.

“It worried our entire family. The winter is coming. What are we supposed to do?” An old lady said, “But after having the organic vegetables here, his situation improves a lot! His legs don’t even hurt as much anymore.

“This made us extremely happy. You have no idea how much our children have spent trying to treat his legs. They sent him to big hospitals and famous doctors, but it was to no avail. Who would have thought the solution would be some normal vegetables!”

The regulars shared their stories. There was no one who had food poisoning.

At this moment, someone looked at Lin Xiufang with suspicion. “You said you frequent here daily. I come to make my purchase here daily too. How come I’ve never seen you before? I might be old, but I have a good memory. You look very unfamiliar to

me.”

“That’s right. I haven’t seen her too. With the way she’s dressed, I would have remembered her.”

“That’s right. She is dressed to grab people’s attention. I come to Zeng Family’s vegetable shop daily, but I haven’t seen her before. Could the lady boss be right? Is she invisible when she’s here to buy the vegetables?”

The regulars came forth one after another.

The lady boss secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these regulars still believed in their family’s character.

The lady boss added, “Mrs. Lin, do you hear that? These are our shop’s real regulars.

“You say you are our regular. However, both my husband and I haven’t seen you before. Now, even these regulars can’t recognize you. What do you have to say?”

Then, without waiting for Lin Xiufang’s response, the lady boss looked at her two competitors and said, “President Li, President Zhang, can you two shut up before the truth is revealed?”

President Li and President Zhang were furious. However, at this moment, the Lady Boss had the upper hand, and they really had nothing to say.

Lin Xiufang listened to the testimonies of the real regulars, and she was flustered. For a moment, she didn’t know how to refute and respond.

Then, she subconsciously looked at Qiao Shiliang. Aftergetting his hint, she reacted quickly and said loudly, “Hmph. These people are your friends. They might be bribed by you! Naturally, they will speak up for you.

“Plus, what if I don’t come here daily? I did come here yesterday. My husband ate your vegetable yesterday and was hospitalized.

“So, how are you going to explain that? My family was poisoned because they ate your crops!”

The lady boss frowned and asked, “Then how many people are there in your family?”.

“How is that your business?” Lin Xiufang said angrily.

The lady boss smiled and said, “Yes. That is normally not my business. But now that you claim your family is poisoned because of our crops. Now, of course, it’s my business.”

Lin Xiufang frowned.

The lady boss continued, “You said that your husband was poisoned. So I want to know, what vegetables did he eat, how much did he take, how long did it take for him to get poisoned?”

The lady boss had dug several traps here, and it was a test of the woman’s mind.

Director Li, who was listening at the side, opened his mouth and wanted to say, “I said, Miao…”

“I’m not asking you. Shut up!” The Lady Boss ordered.

Director Li, “…”

Everyone, “…”

They had long heard that the lady boss was very fierce.

“Ms. Lin, so what are your answers? Do you need to think about this for so long?” The lady boss pressed.

Lin Xiufang tried to glance toward Qiao Shiliang, but the lady boss was a shrewd woman. She moved and blocked Lin Xiufang’s and Qiao Shiliang’s eye contact. She was already 100% sure that Qiao Shiliang must have been behind this.

However, she had no evidence for now.

Qiao Shiliang frowned when Miao Fenghua blocked his view. He wasn’t sure if she did it on purpose or unintentionally.

But if it was intentional, it was obvious that she must have suspected him.

If it was unintentional, it was too coincidental.

“Mrs. Lin, go on!” The lady boss urged her again.

Lin Xiufang gritted her teeth and said, “My man ate tomatoes, cabbage, and eggplant. After half an hour, he collapsed.”

The lady boss nodded and said, “When did your man eat? In the morning, at noon, or at night?”

“Yes, at night!” Lin Xiufang said, “Last night, he had dinner. Half an hour later, he collapsed.”

“When did you buy the vegetables?”

“It was around nine in the morning!” This was Boss Zeng who answered. “Yesterday, when she came to buy vegetables, she tried to act very familiarly with me. I was confused, so I remember it very clearly.”

“Yes, that’s right. I was also in the shop. She also greeted me like we were old friends, but I didn’t even know her. At that time, I was puzzled,” An old lady said loudly.

“Yes, right, I also saw her at that time.”

Lin Xiufang raised her hand and said arrogantly, “Yes, that’s true. I bought them in the morning!”

The lady boss asked, “Since you made the purchase in the morning, did you cook with them for lunch?”

“Of course!” She answered without thinking.

“Did you make lunch for your whole family or only your husband?”

“What nonsense. Who would make lunch for a single person? Of course, it was for the whole family!”

“Then, what about dinner? Was it only for your husband?”

“Of course not!”

The crowd, “…”

Well, there was a problem.
