Chapter 126 – This calculation method defies the heavens (Part 2)
Actually, Lin Mumu is Yun Ting’s legal wife, so she’s his second (older) sister-in-law, so she could technically call him third brother (San Di). However, Lin Mumu was quite sensible and didn’t act arrogantly. Although there’s a little disorder in the way she calls people, she’s still very polite.
(TN: Let me explain what’s happening. In Chinese, there is a very strict seniority in the family (or brotherhood) people need to abide to when calling each other. Yun Ting is the second of his brothers, which means they call him Er Ge = second elder brother. Meanwhiles, Yun Ting would call Gu Qi his San Di = third younger brother. As Lin Mumu is Yun Ting’s wife, Gu Qi would call her Er Sao = Second elder sister-in-law, but it’s somewhat awkward and embarra.s.sing because she’s younger and looks very little (imagine calling your niece older sister). So, Gu Qi is delighted because Lin Mumu calls him San Ge = third elder brother instead of San Di = third younger brother like Yun Ting does, which, although confusing, is much less awkward.)
“Alright.” Lin Mumu nodded and didn’t bother Gu San Shao anymore. Meanwhiles, he was busy making phone call to his two other younger brothers.
When lawyer Yao arrived, Lin Mumu was still busy calculating the prices with the help of sister Zhou and Liu Yuanyuan.
Fortunately, when they first took over the shop, they had immediately made an inventory of the products, and didn’t get the opportunity to bring new plants yet. Consequently, the operations this time were very quickly done and the data was easily found and recorded.
However, lawyer Yao was utterly shocked when he saw Lin Mumu’s calculation method.
“Miss Lin, why are your plants so expensive? I’d like to remind you that our claim must still be reasonable and based on the real prices of the market.” What kind of plant were those?! Moreover, there was a lot of them, each costing a couple millions of them. Just looking at those numbers adding up was scary.
“I’m not claiming damage expense, I’m selling my products.” Lin Mumu was still a little knowledge about law. If Lili came up and started smas.h.i.+ng the shop, she could only claim for her losses and expect damages compensations.
However, Miss Lili clearly stated before smas.h.i.+ng the shop that she came to buy the plants, and that she wanted to buy all the things in the shop.
Lin Mumu explained the situation to lawyer Yao: “There’s price limit for the succulent plants in our shop to avoid malevolent buyers. So, the price of every ten plants will double. This is also written on the message board in front of our door, and I clearly reminded Miss Lili of this rule as well. moreover, I was careful and prepared a recording of the events as proof if need be.”
Lin Mumu opened the recording she made on her mobile phone and played the conversation between her and Lili from the moment she stepped into the store. She actually started recording that early! Not only were the key points clearly recorded, this recording was simply strong and conclusive evidence that could defy the heavens.
