After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 345 The Jam Incident (2)

Everyone stood frozen, staring in disbelief at the woman who had appeared to be quite frail.

What are you yelling about?

The burly man shouted at his wife.

"Don't make things difficult for them who are trying to make a living. Let's take our son to see a doctor right away!"

The woman shouted this, but the burly man remained relentless, saying, "We won't leave until they pay us money!"

He's clearly here to extort money.

The owner of Sunji looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng in front of him with a troubled expression, as if to say, what should we do?
Su Xiaoxiao immediately wanted to give the couple money, meaning she wanted to quickly settle the matter with money.

However, if they try to settle things peacefully, it will easily make it difficult for Su Xiaoxiao to clear her name.

Who can prove her innocence?
After all, if this happens, they'll end up taking the blame.

She felt a terrible headache and glanced at Qian Musheng.

Qian Musheng's attitude at this moment was resolute. He said, "If you buy it from us, you will definitely have that certificate. As long as you show it to me, I will believe what you say."

This is indeed a very difficult situation, as it's clear that the woman seems to have no idea what paper is.

At this point, the owner of Sun's shop called over the other employees to identify the woman, saying, "Are you all here? Come and see if you've seen this woman come to buy jam in the past few months?"

The workers all gathered around to look, but after careful examination, they realized they had never seen this woman before, even though she had mentioned buying jam here. However, she couldn't recall when or what day she had arrived.

As a result, everyone began to doubt what the woman was saying.

Everyone was saying, "If that's really the case, you probably lost the instruction manual. But can you remember which day you came? Didn't you say you just bought the jam recently? It can't have been sitting for too long. If you can't remember the exact day, can't you at least estimate it?"

Everyone began to direct their anger at the woman in front of them, while the boy in her arms continued to cry miserably, appearing quite uncomfortable.

Her husband, a burly man, also asked anxiously.

"Tell me quickly! What day did you buy the jam?"

The woman finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly.

"I didn't buy it here!"

Seeing that there was a chance, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Sun's Grocery Store had become very quiet. The crowd of onlookers all wanted to know why the woman was lying. Was she trying to extort money from him?

But if it's about extorting money, using their own son as a guinea pig is a bit too much, isn't it?

Su Xiaoxiao quickly came over and supported the woman whose shoulders were shaking from crying, and asked, "Sister, don't cry. Explain what exactly happened."

Su Xiaoxiao came over to comfort the woman, moving her to tears.

She looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and recounted the whole truth. It turned out that this family wasn't well-off; their son wanted to eat that rose-flavored jam, but she couldn't afford it. The other neighborhood children were eating it and even showing it off to their son.

So their son started making a fuss, wanting to eat the jam, which put the woman in a very difficult position.

Should she ask her husband for money to buy it? But there's no way. Right now, their family only has enough money to buy groceries and cook, and they don't even have any extra money to buy snacks.

Knowing her family's circumstances, she finally made a tough decision. She picked up the jam jar that her neighbor had finished eating, and then bought some fruit to experiment with making her own jam. However, she used the wrong method and missed many steps. As a result, the jam she made didn't turn out to be real jam, and her son got severe diarrhea after eating it.

After all, children's digestive systems are relatively weak. If she makes jam in this way, the taste and method will be wrong, which can easily cause diarrhea.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that the truth of the matter had finally come to light.

After all that, it turned out to be jam she made herself, but she did it wrong, resulting in this mess.

The woman's husband, upon seeing this, stomped his feet in anger and exclaimed, "You woman! I was wondering where you got the money to buy jam from Sun's shop, and now I know you are..."

He squatted down on the ground, sighed, and then pounded his head.

"It's all because I'm incompetent that I don't have the money to buy jam for our son."

The surrounding crowd immediately understood what was going on and condemned the couple, saying they shouldn't have come to cause trouble and create problems for others.

When Sun's boss saw that Zhang Cheng was finally arriving, he shouted, "Everyone, did you see that? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Sun's, and it has nothing to do with the Rose Brand jam produced by Boss Tang's family either. Right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement with what the owner of Sun's restaurant said.

Indeed, this is true. Everyone knows that people are capable of anything when they are poor. This is something that these people had already anticipated from the beginning. They felt that the couple was indeed very poor and could not even afford a jar of jam. Therefore, they had no choice but to come up with this solution.

Isn't this obviously an attempt to extort money? Thinking this, everyone started criticizing the couple, saying they must be blinded by greed. What exactly are they up to by framing the boss?

But to her surprise, the fathers were completely heartless. Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng's face darkened.

"Guards, report to the authorities and arrest these two! They've come here to cause trouble, haven't they? You two have no good intentions whatsoever, do you?"

This left the burly man speechless, not daring to say another word. He seemed to know his own predicament; because of him, he had probably angered the boss, who was so angry that he was about to send them to the authorities for trial.

Qian Musheng was naturally angry. This was an opportunity for him to advance into the West Market. Was he going to ruin all his opportunities because of this fabricated incident?

He was naturally unhappy about this, so he prepared to report it to the authorities. Qian Musheng was rather cold-blooded.

But Su Xiaoxiao didn't think so; she felt that the couple was very pitiful.

"You can't do this!"

The burly man and his wife tried to run away with their child in their arms, but when Qian Musheng said that, all the employees of Sun's Grocery Store rushed over and surrounded the two of them, preventing them from escaping.
