Chapter 342 Slow Torture
Gu Yihan familiarized herself with the prices and then took out the ledger from the drawer to look at it for a while.
I glanced up at the entrance of the service station; there weren't many people, just a few coming in one after another.
The service station in the family compound usually doesn't experience shortages of goods, so there's no need to worry about it being like the supply and marketing cooperatives outside, where a swarm of people rushes in as soon as the doors open.
"Comrade, I want to buy a bar of soap."
"An industrial ticket costs eight cents."
Gu Yihan quoted the price without looking up, then turned around and placed a bar of soap on the counter.
While Wu Meili was taking out her money, she looked up and saw that the person in front of her was Gu Yihan. She stared blankly for a moment.
His expression immediately turned cold, and a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Yihan glanced at her and repeated, "Soap, one industrial coupon, eight mao."
Wu Meili looked at Gu Yihan, who was now behind the counter.
She remembered that her mother-in-law had said a few days ago that a pregnant woman at the supply and marketing cooperative had quit.
She tried to pull some strings to get herself replaced.
Upon seeing Gu Yihan behind the counter, Wu Meili knew that her spot had been taken by Gu Yihan.
A surge of anger welled up inside me.
His eyes were icy as he stared at Gu Yihan, and he asked coldly, "You're working here as a sales clerk?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan rolled her eyes at Wu Meili, whose face had turned ashen.
He said coldly, "If you have eye problems, go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist."
Upon hearing this, Qin He, who worked at the tobacco and alcohol counter, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.
He coughed lightly and explained, "Comrade Wu, those who are not sales clerks are not allowed to stand inside the counter."
Wu Meili was trembling with anger; the job she had been looking forward to for several years was gone just like that.
The women in line behind her looked at Wu Meili with a hint of impatience as she asked her a series of questions.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, move aside!"
Wu Meili's face was extremely ugly. She glanced at the soap on the counter and gritted her teeth.
She wouldn't let Gu Yihan make money off her for nothing.
"I won't buy it."
After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly walked out.
She needed to hurry back and ask Bai Yun why Gu Yihan had taken her job.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"Hey comrade, give me a tube of toothpaste, this is my shopping list."
Gu Yihan took the shopping list and checked off the toothpaste tube to prove that her monthly allowance had been used up.
He then turned around, grabbed a tube of Zhonghua toothpaste, and handed it to her.
Qin He, who worked at the tobacco and alcohol counter, looked at Gu Yihan with a cold expression after she finished her work.
He began, "That woman just now is Chief of Staff Gao's daughter-in-law."
Gu Yihan glanced at Qin He and nodded: "I know."
Seeing that Gu Yihan didn't understand what she meant, Qin He said bluntly, "Next time you meet her, don't confront her head-on."
"If you anger her, the Senior Staff Officer will come to talk to your wife."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused in her work of filling out the form, then looked up at Qin He.
He asked doubtfully, "You mean if I offended Wu Meili, Staff Officer Gao would stand up for her?"
Qin He gave a soft "hmm" without any expression; she didn't want to say anything more.
The fact that she offered Gu Yihan a word of advice was already the greatest kindness she could show.
Gu Yihan glanced at Qin He thoughtfully, and seeing that she had no desire to chat, she did not press the matter further.
On the other side
Wu Meili ran home breathlessly, without even having a chance to rest.
He shouted at Bai Yun, who was sitting on the sofa reading a storybook, "Mom, Gu Yihan took my job spot."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yun frowned slightly, then looked up at Wu Meili, whose hair was disheveled and face was flushed.
He said coldly, "What job openings?"
Upon seeing this, Wu Meili quickly walked over to Bai Yun and sat down next to her, grabbing her arm excitedly.
"Mom, didn't you say you'd try to pull some strings to help me replace that pregnant saleswoman at the service station?"
"That job has been taken by that little bitch Gu Yihan!"
"You need to think of a way to get that bitch Gu Yihan to give up her job."
Bai Yun's face suddenly turned cold when she saw her constantly calling her a "little bitch".
He shouted sternly, "Wu Meili!"
Wu Meili was no longer paying attention to Bai Yun's tone of voice; her mind was filled with the fact that Gu Yihan had taken over her job.
Thinking that Bai Yun couldn't manage the service stations in the army,
He hurriedly shook her arm and said anxiously, "Mom, ask Dad why the job that belongs to me ended up with that little bitch Gu Yihan."
"Did Commander Lu bribe the director of the service center?"
Bai Yun was furious at what Wu Meili said. She suddenly pulled her arm back, stood up abruptly, and looked down at Wu Meili.
He roared angrily, "Shut up!"
Wu Meili was startled by Bai Yun's angry roar.
She looked up, her chest heaving with anger, and quickly shut her mouth, lowering her head and looking down.
He didn't understand why Yun was suddenly getting angry and yelling at him for no reason.
Bai Yun glanced at Wu Meili, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Given her son's family background, job, and looks, anyone could easily find someone ten times better than her.
Thinking of this, Bai Yun hated Gao Guoqiang so much that her teeth itched.
He sacrificed her son's entire life's happiness for the sake of that so-called life-saving grace.
Bai Yun was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so she paced back and forth in the living room.
Wu Meili listened to the "tap tap" sound of footsteps.
She raised her eyes, glanced cautiously at Bai Yun, and whispered, "Mom."
"Shut up," Bai Yun interrupted sharply.
Who do you think you are!
"You still dare to covet the job position that's already been assigned to you?"
"Mom, it's that little..."
Bai Yun suddenly stopped and glared fiercely at Wu Meili, successfully silencing her.
"Your mouth is full of foul language. Is this how your parents raised you?"
Wu Meili glanced at Bai Yun's eyes, which seemed to want to devour her, lowered her head, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Bai Yun wasn't the type of mother-in-law who liked to lecture, but this time she was really angered by Wu Meili.
He gave her a cold look and questioned, "You're not a military family member, why should I give you the job?"
"He immediately began to falsely accuse Commander Lu of bribery."
"What, do you have evidence, or did you see it with your own eyes?"
Wu Meili was rendered speechless by Bai Yun's retort.
Looking up at Bai Yun, she was about to say that the biggest evidence was Gu Yihan's current job.
Bai Yun narrowed her eyes, glanced at her, and snorted coldly.
Wu Meili was so frightened that she pursed her lips and dared not say a word.
She knew that if she angered Bai Yun, Bai Yun would restrict her from leaving the family compound and would also call Gao Yunlin to complain.
Wu Meili understood. For now, she could only endure it, wait until she gave birth, and wait until the old man was bedridden and unable to move.
We'll torment her slowly later.
