Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 This isn’t just asking for money, it’s practically asking for her life.

Before she could speak, Sister Liu, the melon seed seller, couldn’t hold back.

"You, how can you falsely accuse someone like that? I saw with my own eyes that Lin finished packing up early yesterday, and you sold quite a few buns."

"Just because I sold quite a few doesn’t prove they bought them from me. Why don’t you bring out some evidence then?" Granny Sun said with a face full of smugness.

With Lin Chuxia around, her buns just couldn’t sell at all.

She had planned to quit after selling these, but she couldn’t stand to see Lin Chuxia’s business doing well, watching others make money filled her with jealousy and envy.

If she could disrupt someone else’s business, even if she closed her stall and stopped selling, she would feel happy inside.

"Looking for evidence, are you?" Lin Chuxia raised her hand to stop Sister Liu, who wanted to speak again, and turned to Granny Sun.

"Yes, show me the evidence if you dare," Granny Sun declared defiantly.

"Fine, then I will show everyone the evidence and prove my innocence. Let me make it clear, if the evidence is conclusive, you will not only have to compensate these two people for their medical expenses, but also for my reputation damage."

When the topic of compensation came up, Granny Sun’s gaze flickered, but there was no turning back now, she finally gritted her teeth, "Fine."

She didn’t believe that baseless accusations could produce any evidence.

Lin Chuxia stepped forward and first asked the two customers when they had bought the buns.

The couple who came first had stopped by yesterday afternoon during a light rain when Lin Chuxia had already packed up.

The other one who bought earlier, lured by the cheaper price, got the extra bun for one yuan from Granny Sun.

"After all, cheap goods aren’t good quality." The old lady spat again.

"You say you bought them at that time? Who saw it? If nobody saw it, isn’t it just saying whatever you want whenever you want?" Granny Sun was adamantly refusing to admit anything now.

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Alright, then I will find a second piece of evidence."

She crouched down and picked up the buns from the ground.

Granny Sun immediately knew what she was going to do and spoke first, "Don’t say these buns look like the ones I sell. I could say they look like yours too. This can’t count as evidence; doesn’t everyone make buns the same way?"

She hadn’t just randomly taken over Lin Chuxia’s spot for selling buns.

That day she had gone to see her son and passed by Lin Chuxia’s bustling bun stall, thinking she could also start a small business.

Her buns had always been praised, and she was confident they would sell.

In order to compete for Lin Chuxia’s market, she had someone help her buy a few buns to study, even making sure they were exactly the same size as Lin Chuxia’s.

Lin Chuxia looked at her with a meaningful smile, "I can prove these aren’t my buns."

Lin Chuxia opened the waxed paper wrapping and let everyone present first look at the buns inside before saying, "I don’t know if those who bought my buns noticed, but my buns always have the same number of pleats - 16. These buns may be the same size as mine, but the number and size of the pleats vary."

Having said this, she then opened her own steamer to let people at the scene see.

"It’s true, each bun in the steamer has the same number of pleats."

"That’s right, even though they’re the same size, this girl’s buns look much better."

"I noticed this point a long time ago; I even mentioned it, depending on the person, the buns, too, match the beauty - 16 pleats per bun take a lot of skill."

"Miss, you don’t need to prove anything more. We believe you. First, give me 10 buns, I’m catching a train in a while."

"Give me 20, I just came back from a business trip and haven’t brought anything for the kids, I’ll buy a few big meat buns to stuff those two rascals’ mouths."

"Give me 5."
