I live in the countryside

Chapter 59 Counterfeit Banknote Targeting (1 more)
There are three shops selling pesticides and chemical fertilizers in Wuxi Town, and Qiao Churan ran three times before he could buy the foliar fertilizer.

After buying, I went to the grocery store to buy a watering can according to the boss's instructions.

In the countryside, it is not difficult to buy watering cans for farm work, and they are generally available in grocery stores.

Ever since she went to buy groceries from Zhou Chao's parents during the Chinese New Year, Qiao Churan subconsciously went there.

When they arrived, Zhou Chao's parents didn't seem to be there, but they saw the girl they met when they had dinner with Qin Muzhou in the county last time.

Qiao Churan figured it out after thinking about it for a while. He once heard from Zhou Chao that he had a younger sister who was about the same age as her, but her junior high school grades were not good, and she went to a technical secondary school after failing to pass the high school entrance examination.

I thought it was this one.

However, remembering what happened last time, Zhou Chunyu and Qin Muzhou knew each other, and they even said something about going home for dinner.

Qiao Churan felt something in his heart. In Wuxi Town, thousands of miles away from Beicheng, Zhou's parents knew Qin Muzhou, and the relationship seemed to be not shallow. It could only be because of the Zhou Dynasty.

In this way, the relationship between the two should be good, but why didn't she meet Qin Muzhou when she played with Zhou Chao before?

For two full years.

Qiao Churan shook his head without thinking too much.

The shop is the layout of the town's houses, not too big, five or six meters wide and eight or nine meters deep, with many shelves filled with goods, daily necessities, and everything for sale.

Zhou Chunyu was sitting behind a small counter, watching a video with a mobile phone in his hand. It should be a TV series. The line of the character came out from the external mobile phone: "Then enjoy the summer and always be popular! Even if Use her blood to accumulate color for the maple leaves in the palace."

Today is not a fair day, and the shops in the market are also open for business. Occasionally, people come in to buy things, and there are few customers.

Someone bought something and took it to the state to check out, so she put down her phone, collected the money, and put it in a bag for someone.

Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed Qiao Churan's existence. She glanced outside the door, saw Qiao Churan, and immediately recognized that this was the person Qin Muzhou brought out.

Thinking of what happened downstairs where Qin Muzhou lived that day, Zhou Chunyu was in a bad mood.

She sized up Qiao Churan, her attitude was not very good: "What are you buying?"

Qiao Churan didn't mind her attitude, walked up and smiled: "I'll buy a watering can, do you have it here?"

Zhou Chunyu didn't say a word, but stood up, walked outside the cashier, and then went inside the shop. After a while, he brought out several watering cans: "14 yuan each, which one do you want?"

She seemed to be in a bad mood, and spoke to Qiao Churan in a strange tone.

Qiao Churan didn't take it seriously, and picked up a green one: "Go for this."

She looked at the store, thinking about the situation at home, and bought some groceries for daily use, and finally put them on the counter: "Check out together."

Zhou Chunyu took out his calculator and calculated quickly: "A total of 58 yuan."

Qiao Churan took a brand new 100 yuan note from her wallet and handed it to Zhou Chunyu. Zhou Chunyu took it, looked at it, used a clip to secure the large note, and gave Qiao Churan some change.

Qiao Churan packed her things and just walked out of the store when Zhou Chunyu's fierce voice came from behind: "Wait!"

Qiao Churan stopped in her tracks with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Chunyu stood up, holding a brand new hundred-yuan bill in his hand, and threw it in front of Qiao Churan, with a high and sharp voice, as if meeting an enemy: "What's the matter with you, come and buy it!" Returning things to fake money, looking at people looking like human beings, why is there no morality at all, a few yuan or ten yuan is fine, 100 yuan, are you here to extort money?"

Qiao Churan was taken aback for a moment, Zhou Chunyu was obviously very angry, with a fierce look on his face, as if he could pounce on her in the next moment and fight her desperately.

She was pretty at first, and she belonged to the more flamboyant kind of beauty. When she had a fierce face, she looked even more fierce.

She pinched half of a brand new 100 yuan bill and threw it in front of Qiao Churan. Seeing that Qiao Churan didn't respond, she became even more aggressive: "Why, don't you admit it?"

When she spoke, her voice was loud, and people passing by outside the shop all looked over, including the two people who were picking things from the stall in front of the shop just now, and even the owner of the shop next door followed to watch the excitement.

Those who do business hate people who give counterfeit money. This kind of thing used to happen in small towns. It has been rare in recent years, but sometimes it still happens.

Qiao Churan frowned. Although Zhou Chunyu's attitude was not very good, he still said politely: "It's impossible to give counterfeit money, is it a mistake?"

Zhou Chunyu sneered: "You just gave me this money, and there are fake ones. You still don't admit to giving fake money, right?"

Qiao Churan said calmly, "What I gave you is real money."

Zhou Chunyu laughed angrily, and her voice was unforgiving: "I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, do you think I can't tell the truth? I'll show you right now!"

She took a small money-checking machine and took a picture on the paper money: "See, it's fake, you still refuse to admit it, you're fine with giving the fake money, you bought it in my store for about fifty yuan Not only did I give you counterfeit banknotes, I also asked you to find more than 40 yuan, what’s the matter with you?”

The boss from the shop next door came over to see the bustle, and the old boss also hurried over: "Let me see, let me see."

The other party was a middle-aged woman in her 50s. She took the banknotes in Zhou Chunyu's hand, looked at the light, and touched it again, "Oh, it's really fake."

She looked at Qiao Churan with a complicated expression: "You girl, how did you do such a vile thing, you don't look like such a person, look at how well you dress, why are you here to blackmail money from small merchants like us?" Woolen cloth?"

The voices of the two were quite loud, and the people watching around saw this and pointed at Qiao Chu.

Discussions entered her ears one after another: "Who is this person? He seems to be well dressed, so how can he pay back the price?"

"Still the price of 100 yuan?"

"Really, I just saw that she gave 100 yuan, but it's new."

There were endless discussions around, and Zhou Chunyu sneered all over his face: "The machine has been tested, and some people have seen that you gave the money. What else can you say?"

Qiao Churan remained calm, "The machine has been tested, and some people have indeed seen that the money I gave was a brand new 100 yuan note, but this does not prove that the money in your hand was given to you by me." That one,"

"This doesn't prove it?" Zhou Chunyu seemed to have heard some joke: "This still doesn't explain the problem? Are you sick? You, oh, I recognize it. Aren't you that Qiao Churan from Qingxi Village? You are the first in the general examination of the middle school in the town, and you are also admitted to the college students in the university in Beicheng. The state teaches you to be a talent, so why do you still do such immoral things?"

As soon as Zhou Chunyu said this, the voices of the people around became louder, and they looked at Qiao Churan in disbelief: "This...you are still a college student, why are you greedy for such a small gain?"

"It's really uneducated, so you went to college for nothing?"

Someone covered his mouth and said secretly: "I heard that it was the one who couldn't get along in the provincial capital and came back to farm. Hey, people nowadays, one is really not as good as the other..."

The voice of discussion was no longer restrained, and it clearly entered Qiao Churan's ears.

Zhou Chunyu looked at Qiao Churan proudly, and said proudly, "What else do you have to say now?"

Qiao Churan stared deeply at Zhou Chunyu.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Zhou Chunyu was targeting her.

Even though surrounded by so many people, Qiao Churan was still very calm. He took out his wallet and took out a few 100 yuan bills: "I got this money back from the bank in the provincial capital a few years ago, and I plan to use it for the New Year." Yes, it’s not used up, the money I withdraw has serial numbers, okay, you say it’s a counterfeit banknote I gave you, then look, the codes on the banknotes are all serial numbers, now you have to check with me Well, see if this is the money I gave you, or take out other banknotes from your drawer and check with mine to see if there is the previous serial number of the banknote in my hand .”

Qiao Churan paused and said: "Even if I gave you a 100 yuan note before, but you put that note in the drawer and then took it out again, according to your logic, it really can't prove your The one in your hand is the one I gave you."

Zhou Chunyu didn't expect that Qiao Churan could do this trick.

Because of Qin Muzhou's care for Qiao Churan, she was not pleasing to her eyes, so on a thought, she took a counterfeit note that she had received before to embarrass her. Qiao Churan still has this trick.

With so many onlookers around, it is impossible for her to let Qiao Churan turn the situation around when things have come to this point.

He sneered immediately and said, "Who knows whether what you said is true or not, maybe you just left a counterfeit coin to blackmail small merchants like us."

"Besides, according to what you said, I deliberately caused trouble for you. What kind of hatred do I have with you?" Zhou Chunyu was aggressive.

Qiao Churan's eyes were frank: "Then you should see if there is a banknote in front of my number. The banknote number is unique, and this cannot be deceived."

"You give it as you say, it's still reasonable for you to give counterfeit money, who do you think you are?"

Qiao Churan sneered, and took out her mobile phone: "Okay, since you are so persistent and refuse to settle this matter properly, and you've decided that I'm wrong, then let's find the police to solve it."

Seeing Qiao Churan take out her mobile phone, Zhou Chunyu panicked all of a sudden, and rushed over to kill Qiao Churan's mobile phone: "What are you doing, you, how dare you call the police?"

Qiao Churan felt speechless: "How dare you wrong me, slander me, I can't go to the police?"

She looked at Zhou Chunyu's obviously panicked expression with amused expression: "Or, is this simply because you intend to frame me?"

"What did you say that you are sick, you, why should I frame you!"

Qiao Churan made a gesture to make a call by herself, but Zhou Chunyu rushed forward, but she easily dodged it.

And Qiao Churan's candid attitude also made the onlookers suspicious.

You can't call the police on your own initiative to call the police.

The proprietress of the store next door, who was still swearing by it just now, came to her senses and took the initiative to persuade: "Chun Yu, did you really make a mistake, and I want you to take another look?"

Zhou Chunyu couldn't grab Qiao Churan's cell phone, and shouted, "It's not wrong, she gave it to me."

Qiao Churan nodded: "Okay, then call the police, but let me remind you first that the crime of intentional slander is also quite serious."

After all, I was about to make a call, but the proprietress of the shop next door hurriedly stopped her: "Hey girl, I really can't get to this point..."

The noise at the entrance of the store was not very good. At this time, there was finally an old and anxious voice from behind the crowd: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

When Zhou Bingsheng came back from the outside, he saw a group of people around the door of his store, thinking that something happened, he hurried over.

Seeing Zhou Bingsheng coming back, the proprietress of the shop next door shouted, "Old Zhou, you are back, come here quickly and settle this matter, Chunyu is a stubborn kid."

As she said that, she explained the situation to Zhou Bingsheng in a few words. At first, she believed in Zhou Chunyu very much, but after Qiao Churan said that, she became a little suspicious.

When Zhou Bingsheng heard this, he walked over to take the counterfeit money in Zhou Chunyu's hand to look at it, and his expression darkened immediately.

He seemed to be very angry, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, but he still held back his temper, with a smile on his face, bent his back and explained to Qiao Churan: "Girl, I'm sorry, this ... This is a misunderstanding. This is not the money you gave. I received this banknote some time ago. I thought I would put it in the drawer and take it to the bank when I have time. My daughter doesn’t know about it. , I misunderstood you, sorry."

Seeing Zhou Bingsheng's expression, Qiao Churan obviously knew about this, and Zhou Chunyu also knew, and now he is using this to embarrass himself.

This chapter of counterfeit money was indeed not given by Qiao Churan. Zhou Bingsheng was right, but Zhou Chunyue actually knew about it. He didn't know what happened to his daughter, why he suddenly did such a thing like blackmail.

But in front of so many people, he can't say that Zhou Chunyu did it on purpose. If the customers know about it, it will have an impact on the store's business in the future.

The middle-aged man couldn't bear his face full of guilt, with pleading eyes in his eyes, and whispered to Qiao Churan: "Girl, uncle apologizes to you, can you not worry about this matter, my daughter misunderstood, today The goods, uncle don't want your money, okay?"

Qiao Churan couldn't bear to see such a large number of people bowing their knees in front of him, and his face was still a little cold: "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, I just need an apology."

The people around saw that it was a misunderstanding, and they dispersed without thinking too much: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Hearing what Qiao Churan said, Zhou Bingsheng heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time his expression was serious: "Chun Yu, why don't you come over and apologize!"

Zhou Chunyu's complexion was not very good, but at this point, she could only come back with a stiff smile: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Qiao Churan took a deep look at Zhou Chunyu and said nothing, but his attitude towards Zhou Bingsheng was okay, and he said to Zhou Bingsheng, "I'm going first."

Zhou Bingsheng quickly stopped her: "Hey, don't, girl, I'll refund the money to you."

Qiao Churan shook her head and refused: "No need, it's over."

When passing by Zhou Chunyu, she paused, looked at Zhou Chunyu and reminded: "Be careful next time, I'm a good talker, and this matter is over like this. If I meet someone else, I guess Not so easy to get along with."

She looked at Zhou Bingsheng again: "It was your father who bent down to apologize to someone in the end."

Zhou Chunyu's face changed slightly, and the hand placed by his side curled up slightly.

Qiao Churan didn't say any more. After walking two steps, she realized that Zhou Lei, who was standing not far away with two bags of vegetables in his hand, was looking at him with a smile on his face.
