Chapter 613: Requesting a Refund

This case had not yet begun its investigation, so Captain He had no reason to refuse. “We’re only asking the person in charge to come with us, we’re not arresting anyone. If you want to come along, you can,” he said.

Gu Zi was surprised by Gong Xin’s loyalty. Instead of hiding, she chose to stand by her side and face the emotional family members. She couldn’t help but wonder if she and Gong Zhan were really siblings; they were so different!

However, she was relieved that Gong Xin was not like Gong Zhan. She didn’t refuse her offer. Going alone would have been fine, but having someone else with her did make Gu Zi feel more secure.

After Gu Zi and the others left, Li Hua took the samples and left as well, leaving only Mother Lin and Aunt Yang to watch the shop. Word quickly spread through the town that the police had arrived, and many people came to inquire about the situation, eager to see the drama unfold.

After all, Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop had grown rapidly and was doing very well. It had even been featured in the newspaper. Who wouldn’t be envious? Now, at the start of the new year, the police had come knocking. This was a spectacle many were waiting to see.

A while later, some customers who had bought braised meat earlier returned to the shop, handing the meat back to Mother Lin and demanding a refund.

“Enough talk, just give us our money back,” one said. “Honestly, we chose to trust you despite the rumors, to support your business. But you’ve truly disappointed us. You’ve sent people to the hospital just to make money. Have you no conscience?”

“Exactly,” another chimed in. “Who would have thought that eating breakfast could land you in the hospital? It’s terrifying. Give us our money back. We don’t want this meat anymore. We won’t dare to buy anything from your shop in the future.”

“I knew there was something off about this meat,” a third customer said. “It tasted too good to be true. My nephew works at a braised meat shop in the city. If he hadn’t said he wanted to try this famous braised meat that was featured in the newspaper, I wouldn’t have come to buy it. Give me my money back!”

The shop was filled with noise and complaints. Some were demanding refunds, while others were discussing the situation. Mother Lin and Aunt Yang were overwhelmed and couldn’t explain themselves. Faced with this situation, they felt helpless and frustrated. They had no choice but to refund the customers as requested.

Just as they finished giving the refunds, Yang Tao and his wife arrived, carrying their son Yuan Yuan. They urged Aunt Yang to come home with them. “Mom, why are you still here? Do you really want to go to jail? Come home with us. No matter what, I’m your son. I won’t abandon you. Come home with me.”

His wife also softened her usual demeanor, gently persuading, “Mom, I was wrong before. I know I have a bad temper. But don’t hold a grudge against us. Young people are bound to have tempers. If not for our sake, then for your grandson’s. If you go to jail, you won’t be able to see him anymore.”

Yuan Yuan walked over to Aunt Yang and took her hand. In his heart, he believed his parents genuinely wanted to take his grandmother home. He sweetly said, “Grandma, let’s go home, okay? I really miss your cooking.”

Why had they come? The truth was, when they heard the news, the couple was playing mahjong in town. They had been there for a day and had no plans to return to their messy, dirty home in the village. Neither of them wanted to do housework, and they had argued about it many times.

Now, they were happy to hear about the trouble at Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. They had tried to get Aunt Yang’s wages from her before, but even when Yang Tao asked, they couldn’t get them.

So, Aunt Yang having a job was meaningless to them. It only made her more independent and less likely to return home to work for them.

The couple had realized this long ago, but they hadn’t had a chance to bring Aunt Yang home. Now, with this incident, they had the perfect opportunity. They could even earn a good reputation in the process. It was a win-win situation.

Upon hearing her son and daughter-in-law’s words, Aunt Yang could only laugh. Aside from feeling sorry for her little grandson, she had no other lingering feelings. She turned her head away, refusing to look at her grandson.
