Chapter 4 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan

I stared at her.

“From beginning to end, I never asked you if you agreed or not.”

“I directly told the staff to write it down on your bill.”

“And say verbatim: ‘Does he dare not buy it?’”

“Is that called an advance?”

The smile on her face completely froze. The policeman was silent for a few seconds. Then tilted his chin toward the manager.

“Bring out the business license.”

Manager was stunned. Then frantically ran behind the counter to look for documents. The policeman looked at her again. Official tone, no emotion.

“Forcing others to buy things can constitute coercion and extortion.”

"Even if it hasn't been done successfully, the evidence and facts are still there."

“If you continue to cause trouble…”

“Now I will take you to the station to take your statement.”

Her legs were soft. I almost sat down on the ground. Even his voice trembled.

“Comrade police officer... I really didn't mean to…”

“It's just that the mouth is faster than the brain…”

“Mouth fast?”

The policeman glanced at her.

"Just now, I stood in front of everyone and cursed them for being unfilial and losing face..."

“Your mouth is also very fast.”

Many people watching burst into laughter. Her face was as red as a boiled shrimp. Red enough to glow. She turned to look at me. There was only begging left in his eyes.

“Granddaughter…”

“I told the police to help you.”

“We're just family joking around.”

“Don't take it as real…”

I didn't bother to respond. See I'm not paying attention. She frantically pulled my mother's hand again.

“Please tell me something for me!”

“We are one family!”

My mother moved her lips slightly. She looked over at me. I squeezed my mother's hand. Immediately, my mother closed her mouth. Don't say another word. Right at that moment. The manager held the business license and ran back. Both hands were respectfully raised. The policeman didn't even bother to open it. He signaled the young police officer to take photos for evidence. Then look at management.

“This is a serious violation.”

“Forced consumption.”

“Restricting the customer's physical freedom.”

“Just reporting it to the market management agency is enough for your store to rectify.”

Sweat dripped from the manager's forehead down his face. She kept nodding.

“It's my fault!”

“I will fix it right away!”

“It will definitely be fixed!”

“Don't fix it with me.”

The policeman pointed his finger at me.

“Apologize to her.”

The manager was stunned for a second. Then immediately turned around. Bend at a ninety-degree angle in front of me.

“Ma'am, I'm sorry!”

“Today I was wrong.”

“Let me and my aunt have to bear the pain.”

“I'm really sorry!”

I didn't speak up. She also did not dare to raise her head. Just bow like that. Stand next to it. The eldest girl was so confused that she didn't know where to put her hands. His face was sometimes red, sometimes white. The cousin and the future sister-in-law had long secretly moved to the door. Both of them cringed. Obviously just waiting for an opportunity to slip away. The policeman glanced at them. Then he turned to warn the eldest girl:

"If next time you use so-called morality to coerce others, or continue to use coercion and blackmail like this..."

“We will summon you directly.”

The eldest girl nodded continuously like pounding garlic. The new policeman turned to me. The tone also softened a bit.

“Girl, you did it right.”

“If you encounter something like this, hold on Retrieving evidence and reporting to the police is the safest way."

“The recording is very clear.”

“If you need to use it later, you can go to the station and ask to extract data from cameras and video recorders on duty.”

“Thank you, police officer.”

"Nothing."

After speaking, he looked coldly at the manager.

“Next time you dare to restrict the customer's physical freedom…”

“Then it won't be as simple as just apologizing anymore.”

The manager continuously nodded in response. The middle-aged policeman led the young policeman and turned to leave. When passing through the door. The young police officer suddenly turned his head to look at me. While no one was paying attention, he secretly gave me a thumbs up. The shop just closed. The crowd outside not only did not disperse, but also gathered in larger numbers. Someone came forward to compliment me on how well I handled it. Some people still held up their phones to film. There are also people pointing fingers and talking about her. The eldest girl stood frozen in place. So embarrassed that I just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She wanted to open her mouth to say something. But every time my eyes met, I immediately avoided them. The manager still bowed and stood in place. Can't advance either. Going back is not enough.
