The woman persisted, not even glancing at Ge Qiuqin.

He walked up to her and grabbed her clothes.

"Stop right there. Anyone can talk big. If you want to buy it, take out the money and pay right now. Otherwise, if you try it out and don't buy it in the end, you'll delay my child from getting this sweater."

Seeing her mother's domineering attitude, the woman's child seemed to gain confidence and went over to grab Zhang Zhicheng's sweater.

Zhang Zhicheng didn't tolerate him. He gave the boy a hard shove, causing him to fall flat on his backside.

When the woman saw her child being pushed down, she immediately shouted and prepared to go over and slap Zhang Zhicheng hard in the buttocks.

"You little brat, how dare you push my child! I'll beat you to death!"

Ge Qiuqin stepped aside to block her eldest son and said:

"Let me see, I'm right here, who do you dare to beat to death! Your kid is rude, coming up here and tearing clothes, just like you, no manners at all. Like father, like son."

The old saying is absolutely true: like father, like son. You two are really domineering and unreasonable.

"I'll see today if you're still planning to bully me to death."

"You...your whole family looks so poor, you can't afford clothes and you're maliciously disrupting the market and interfering with other customers' shopping. Does your mall have anyone in charge of this?"

If any Tom, Dick, or Harry like this come in, just try things on but don't buy anything, your department store can just wait to go out of business.

The mall manager saw a crowd gathered around the children's counter and rushed over.

"What exactly happened?"

As soon as the manager approached, the sales clerk quickly said:

"Two customers wanted the same piece of clothing and got into an argument."

“Manager, you’ve come at the right time. This family can’t afford clothes at all. They’ve been trying on clothes here for ages without paying. I’d like to take the sweater that the kid is wearing. Can you make him take it off and give it to me?”

"Is this the only size of this sweater left?"

“Yes, this is the only size left. The other sizes won’t fit this woman’s child. I suggested she choose another style, but she insisted on this one.”

The administrator glanced at Ge Qiuqin and her children again. He noticed that they were dressed simply, and even their clothes had patches on them. Perhaps, as the customer had said, they really couldn't afford it.

Besides, she has four children to support. How could she possibly buy clothes for all four of them? That would be a huge expense. She wouldn't even dare to buy that many clothes with the salary she earns from her job.

The administrator then spoke to Ge Qiuqin.

"Madam, since you've taken a liking to the clothes, why don't you pay for them now? You've decided to buy them anyway, so paying now will also help stop this current dispute."

"Even you think I can't afford it, right? You insist on making me pay now in front of everyone? Fine, if I can buy it today, you'll have to make her and her child bow down and apologize to us, mother and son."

They insulted and belittled us in front of so many people for so long, do you think it's over once they've said it?

"Fellow villagers who witnessed this, you all saw how she bullied my family. Do you think my request is excessive?"

Ge Qiuqin shouted loudly to the crowd. She was used to seeing people coming and going in the store, so she was not flustered no matter how many people there were.

She spoke with a strong and clear voice, showing no sign of timidity.

"Not at all, not at all."

“We can prove that if you can buy it, she will have to apologize.”

"That's right, her child also needs to apologize; what he just did was really excessive."

“Sister-in-law, you pay for it. If she doesn’t apologize after you buy it, we won’t let her leave. It’s too much.”

......................

The shouts from the crowd made it impossible for the administrator to refuse Ge Qiuqin's request. After all, he hadn't witnessed what had just happened.

The public has discerning eyes; this woman might have actually done something outrageous just now. If he can't quell public anger, he'll definitely be the subject of complaints today.

You're bound to get scolded by your boss, and you might even have your salary docked.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ge Qiuqin breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the administrator. She unbuttoned her coat, took out 100 yuan from a pocket sewn inside her clothes, and slapped it on the counter.

"Clerk, checkout please!"

The brand-new gray-blue 100-yuan banknote left everyone speechless.

These days, 100 yuan is the largest denomination of new banknotes, and most people have never even seen it.

An ordinary worker's monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. They've never seen a whole 100-yuan note before; at most, they've only seen pictures of it in newspapers.

"Okay, I'll go fill out the form."

The sales clerk picked up the money and went behind the counter.

The woman's arrogant attitude vanished instantly; she gripped her child's hand tightly and tried to leave.

Ge Qiuqin stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Hey, you haven't apologized yet? You think you can just leave?"

The woman turned around and reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

He turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Ge Qiuqin shouted loudly, her voice much louder than before, and the surrounding noise immediately quieted down.

"Is this what you call an apology? What did I just say? You and your son bowed and apologized to our family. You just said it offhand and that's it?"

"Administrator, you heard everything! And all the brothers and sisters who were watching, you can all vouch for me."

The crowd immediately blocked the exit, and several people even shouted:

"Apologize, apologize properly to them, or you're not leaving."
