Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

There is a lack of entertainment in this era, and everyone loves to watch plays.

A few waiters who were watching the fight enthusiastically were called out and felt a little embarrassed, so they immediately came over to try to stop the fight.

"What's going on, you three?" He pointed at Qiao Jiaojiao:

"Comrade, this is a state-owned restaurant, not a place for you to quarrel. If you don't want to eat, get out now!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was unexpectedly exposed in public today. She was a little upset and confused. She had no mood to eat. When she heard what the waiter said, she immediately grabbed Jin Lili:

"Lili, Dongliang, let's go~"

Humph, in public, I'll let that bitch Qiao Ruizhu go for now and settle the score with her when I get home.

Jin Lili looked a little embarrassed.

Her father is the deputy director of a steel plant and she is the only daughter in the family, so she has been spoiled and is a little brainless.

When she heard that she was going to leave, she immediately became angry. She shook off Qiao Jiaojiao's hand and shouted:

"We came here to eat, why should we leave?" He pointed at Qiao Ruizhu again:

"Waiter, didn't you hear what my friend just said?"

"This comrade must have stolen his parents' money to eat and drink here!"

"Your state-owned restaurant belongs to the country and serves the people. How can you entertain thieves?"

"If you don't get rid of this thief today, I'll report you to the Revolutionary Committee and make sure you all lose your jobs!"

"Hey, comrade, you're so young, how can you talk like that?"

When the restaurant staff heard this, they quit. At that time, state-owned restaurants were all about guaranteed jobs. Even waiters were sought after, and there was no fear of getting into trouble.

Not to mention that they don’t know whether Qiao Ruizhu is a thief, even if Qiao Ruizhu really took other people’s parents’ money to eat, how could they not sell it?

Qiao Ruizhu was so annoyed that she completely lost her appetite.

He put down his chopsticks, pushed the chair away and stood up.

It wasn't noticeable when he was sitting, but when he stood up, he had an inexplicable imposing presence. The restaurant was suddenly quiet for a moment.

"Qiao Jiaojiao, let me ask you again, do you have evidence to prove that I stole the money?"

"You're eighteen years old this year, right? Defaming and slandering a minor can land you in jail. If you can't produce evidence today, I'll call the police."

"You...you...I, how should I know? If you didn't steal, where did you get the money to buy so much food!"

Qiao Jiaojiao bravely confronted him, cursing Jin Lili in her heart.

She just said it casually, no evidence needed. Anyway, this stepsister never explained when she was wronged in the past.

Could it be that the money and tickets were secretly given to her by her father?

Yes, this stepsister is going to the countryside soon. Maybe her father feels guilty and wants to compensate her?

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao's expression became a little uncertain.

But the most urgent task right now is to calm down this stepsister who has suddenly gone crazy.

Having made up his mind, he softened his tone:

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if you stole it. I'll help you explain to your parents when you get home. Just say that I took the money. Mom and Dad won't blame you."

These words acted like a good sister who endured humiliation and hardship, and Qiao Ruizhu almost laughed out of anger.

"Okay, if you insist on saying that, let's figure out who the thief is."

He took a step forward, frightening Qiao Jiaojiao so much that she stepped back:

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Let me show you the evidence, my dear sister!" Qiao Ruizhu looked at the people around her with a smile on her face.

"Everyone has been watching the show for a long time. Let's not just join in the fun today. Come and be a witness."

"First of all, I can admit that the money and tickets for my meal were definitely not given by the parents that my good 'stepsister' mentioned!"

The onlookers burst into an uproar. Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes also flashed with pride:

"Sister, you don't have to..."

Qiao Ruizhu raised her hand to interrupt Qiao Jiaojiao's chatter. She continued:

"Because since I was three years old, every penny I spent and every ticket I bought was left to me by my deceased mother!"

There was another uproar all around, followed by whispers.

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you'll know soon. You may not know my biological mother, but some of you may have heard of my grandfather, Cheng Changming."

"Cheng Changming? I seem to have heard of him before. This name sounds familiar..." A diner in his 40s wearing glasses frowned and muttered.

"Oh, you don't know Cheng Changming yet? Isn't he the one who donated all his property to the country during the Anti-Japanese War and became the first director of the city textile factory after liberation?" his seatmate reminded him.

"Isn't it?" An elderly man sighed.

"He's a good man. Back then, when Hai City was in danger, if it weren't for the Cheng family's righteousness, who knows how the battle would have turned out!"

"Yeah," said the old lady beside him, her hair all white, probably his wife: "It's a pity that good people don't live long, I didn't expect that even his daughter would die~ Alas!"

"Hey, why did I hear that Cheng Changming only has one daughter, and his son-in-law married into the family back then?" another old man murmured.

"Yes, I never thought that things would change so drastically. Even Cheng Changming's daughter is gone. Poor child!"

"But that's not right. If Cheng Changming's son-in-law is a son-in-law, then this girl's surname should be Cheng. Why is her surname Qiao?"

"Yeah, the Cheng family's son-in-law did something a bit dishonest!"

"Little girl, is Cheng Changming your grandfather?" asked the old man who first spoke to express his acquaintance with Cheng Changming.

"Yes." Qiao Ruizhu nodded at the old man. She intuitively felt that the old man might have some friendship with her grandfather, but it was not what she cared about at the moment.

"Since someone recognizes my grandfather, they should know that my mother was the only daughter of the Cheng family and the deputy director of the textile factory. Even if she died early, as her only daughter, I would not be short of money."

People around him nodded.

That's the truth. Even a rotten ship still has three thousand nails. Who should I give the Cheng family's things to if not my only granddaughter?

"So, since my mother passed away, not only have I not spent a penny of the Qiao family's money, but on the contrary, my good stepsister has taken a lot of good things from me!"

She looked at Qiao Jiaojiao mockingly.

"As the saying goes, the thief cries thief! The real thief is you, classmate Qiao Jiaojiao!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Jiaojiao's face flushed red and she shouted without caring about her face anymore.

"I didn't take your things"!

"My mother is also a regular employee of the textile factory. My father raised me as his own daughter. How could I take your things?"

"Qiao Ruizhu, you're talking nonsense without any evidence, but I can still sue you!"

She tried to use Qiao Ruizhu's excuse to shut Qiao Ruizhu up, and her reaction was quite quick-witted.

But Qiao Ruizhu really has evidence.

"Who said I have no evidence?" Qiao Ruizhu smiled maliciously. This was Qiao Jiaojiao's request, so she couldn't blame her.

Suddenly, with lightning speed, he rushed forward and stripped off Qiao Ruizhu's light camel-colored woolen coat.

Qiao Jiaojiao was startled and screamed with her arms crossed over her chest. Cao Dongliang also quickly protected Qiao Jiaojiao:

"what are you doing!"
