Chapter 956 - 956 Worse Than a Dog
956 Worse Than a Dog
They were allowed to report a certain amount of losses every time they replenish their stock. This was mainly due to meat that was already not fresh when it arrived, or having excessive stock when there was no demand for meat.
The boss and lady boss took advantage of this loophole to help people who did not have meat coupons and would sell the meat reported as losses at a low price to these people. At the same time, they could earn a bit more money. It was like killing two birds with one stone and everyone was happy about this.
However, they would not let the Su family benefit from such a good thing.
“We only take coupons when we sell meat. We can’t sell any without coupons. This is the rule and we can’t do anything about it,” the lady boss said mildly.
They did not want to have anything to do with the Su family! They could not let the Su family catch them making even just a small mistake. If it was found out that people could buy meat from them without using coupons, she and her husband would need to go to jail! They might even have to face a huge fine.!!
Qiao Yu had already gone around to many places and did not want to continue walking on. This was already the last butcher shop in this area. If she could not succeed here, then she was out of choices.
Qiao Yu said agitatedly, “Please have mercy! I haven’t eaten meat for more than a month. Can you please give me some meat? Even a little bit is fine! I can pay for it! How much do you want? I have three dollars!”
“Sister, it’s not a matter of money. We’re running a business. Don’t make things difficult for us. You’re Su Yang’s girlfriend, right? Didn’t he give you any meat coupons?” the lady boss asked curiously.
A look of surprise flashed across Qiao Yu’s eyes. She had been staying at the clinic during this period of time, so how did people know that she was Su Yang’s girlfriend? Was Su Yang so famous that all the residents in this area knew him?
Could it be that he was the type of “good samaritan with a heart of gold”?
“He… he had to rush off to work today and didn’t say anything to me. I just wanted to prepare a surprise for him,” Qiao Mei said hesitantly.
The lady boss looked at Qiao Yu derisively. Just now, she said that she had not eaten meat for a long time, but now she said that she was buying meat for Su Yang. This little girl was simply full of lies.
“Then you’d better change the surprise. We really can’t sell it to you,” the lady boss said forcefully.
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment and pointed at the basin on the ground that was full of meat scraps. “Do you still want this basin of meat?”
“There’s nothing in my shop that I don’t want. Sister, if you don’t have any meat coupons, then go home. We still have to run a business,” the lady boss said impatiently.
There were still many customers waiting to buy meat. If this pointless conversation continued, their family’s business would be affected!
Qiao Yu did not argue with the lady boss anymore and slowly walked out of the shop. Just as the lady boss thought that everything was fine, a loud wailing suddenly came from outside the door.
“I’m so pitiful! I can’t live anymore! I’m about to starve to death, but they have a heart of stone and won’t even give me some meat scraps! They won’t even let me smell the meat scraps! They even say that they’ll rather feed the meat scraps in the basin to the dogs than give it to me! My status is even worse than a dog! How outrageous! Do all of you have any conscience! Are you still patronizing a shop whose owners have no conscience!” Qiao Yu sat down at the door and wept and cried out loudly.
She immediately attracted the attention of many passersby. Many neighbors even opened their doors to come out and watch the commotion. The people here had an unspoken agreement with the shop to buy and sell meat scraps in private. The boss and the lady boss were very popular in the vicinity. The meat scraps were not only cheap, but also very fresh!
What Qiao Yu said was nonsense. No one who lived nearby would believe her. However, it did not matter whether they believed her or not. So long as the passersby believed her, then the effect of her lies would snowball after a while.
“You’re just bullying me! I must get meat today! If you don’t give me meat, I’ll die in front of you!” Qiao Yu shouted as she pointed at the lady boss.
The lady boss reached out with the knife and said, “Come on! I’m not afraid of you! Die if you can! I have a knife here. Show me how you want to die!”
