"Our clothes are of excellent quality, and won't break if you touch them. But mink fur is delicate, and if you scratch it, we won't be able to sell it to you!" the salesperson said bluntly, "And you, don't make excuses. If you want to buy, just go ahead. If you can't afford it, take the clothes off immediately and don't affect our sales."
“Who said I can’t afford it?”
Cui Xuezhi touched the fur of the mink coat, feeling its soft texture, and made up her mind. She said directly: "Give me the invoice, I want this mink coat!"
The salesperson's face suddenly lit up with a smile: "Tutututut, comrade, please wait a moment, I will give you the invoice right away."
Five hundred yuan, fifty of which were needed just to pay the bill at the Great Unity Bank. Cui Xuezhi didn't have that much cash, but she brought her passbook, which was originally the money she had used to buy her dowry.
Cui Xuezhi could only say, "I don't have enough cash. I have to go to the post office to withdraw money first."
"Sure, I'll accompany you." The salesperson had expected this.
Fifty big unity cards, who can carry so many at once!
He said that accompanying her to withdraw the money could, on the one hand, show her attitude of serving the people, and on the other hand, he was afraid that she would regret it and run away.
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Congratulations, Comrade Cui, for spending a huge sum of 500 yuan to successfully win a mink coat. You are really capable."
Cui Xuezhi spent most of half a year's salary to buy a mink coat that didn't suit her. She was so heartbroken that she almost bled.
She straightened her back, forced herself to put on a haughty expression, and said arrogantly, "Of course I have the ability! You poor bastard, all you can do is stand there and watch!"
So what if He Tingjun likes her? It’s not bad for her to marry someone now!
After saying that, she put her hands on her hips and went to the post office in her mink coat to withdraw money.
Feng Juan angrily glared at Cui Xuezhi's back and said, "This little girl... Commander Liang and Madam Cui are such well-mannered people, why is their niece speaking so harshly? If she wants to show off, then she can do so. Why is she dragging us into it? She's completely crazy!"
"Mom, don't be angry. This is what uneducated mad dogs do. We are civilized people, there is no need to argue with mad dogs." Yun Qiao held Feng Juan's arm and comforted her softly: "Besides, she must be feeling very upset right now. She spent 500 yuan on an ugly dress that she wears. She must be suffocating. Let's let her have a few words."
When the topic of clothes came up, Feng Juan also laughed: "That's right. This girl is so obsessed with face that she's suffering. She wasted 500 yuan on a piece of clothing that she will never wear. She can't sleep at night thinking about it. Well, I'll let her have a few words."

Elsewhere, after getting the money from the post office, Cui Xuezhi and the salesperson went to the clothing counter on the second floor of the supply and marketing department. The salesperson took the money, counted it, and began to issue a receipt for Cui Xuezhi.
While waiting for the salesperson to issue the ticket and pass it through, Cui Xuezhi looked left and right, but could not see the figures of Yun Qiao and her daughter. She felt very uncomfortable and felt that she had spent the 500 yuan in vain.
The mink coat she bought for five hundred yuan. Although Cui Xuezhi knew in her heart that the coat was not suitable for her, she still walked out of the store wearing it for the sake of face.
However, when she walked on the street, the strange looks from passers-by made her feel extremely embarrassed.
At this point, she finally had to admit that she had indeed wasted her five hundred dollars.
Cui Xuezhi came with Yan Jingwan, and they happened to be riding in the military jeep with Commander Liang.
Commander Liang was coming to the 58th Farm today. He had just come from Mishan Mountain to inspect the 58th Farm. The Director of the Farm Reclamation Bureau was holding a small meeting. There were three empty seats in the car. Cui Xuezhi was coming to the company to buy wedding gifts, so he brought her and Yan Jingwan along.
