Chapter Ninety-Nine: Let You Show Off
No matter what Shen Yuzhu said, Zhao Yue was still worried. After resting in the afternoon, Shen Yuzhu took her to a nearby department store. The little girl was very happy and showed a rare hint of shyness.
This was the first time she had ever shopped with a woman. Looking at Shen Yuzhu holding her hand, she suddenly felt like a child again.
"Xiaoyue, do you think this shirt looks good?"
"It looks good, but it would look even better on your sister-in-law."
Shen Yuzhu held up a pink lace-trimmed shirt and compared it to Zhao Yue's. The latter was confused, thinking she was being used as a model, and waited quietly.
"Comrade, please help me wrap this up, and the blue one too. I also want the white dress."
The saleswoman thought she was pretty, spoke softly, and was very generous with her money. She quickly packed up and took down everything the woman wanted. But for some reason, the more she looked at the woman, the more familiar she seemed, though she couldn't remember when she had seen her before.
"Comrade, you have excellent taste. These are all newly arrived styles. You'll definitely look great in them."
"It's not for me to wear, it's for my sister."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue looked up at her abruptly. "This was bought for my sister, is it for her?"
Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, Shen Yuzhu handed her the package that the sales clerk had wrapped, saying, "Here you go!"
"Here, did you buy this for me, sister-in-law?"
"Yes, who else would I buy them for? Come on, let me buy you a few more pairs of socks and two pairs of shoes. Let's also see if there are any nice coats that are perfect for this season."
"No need, no need, sister-in-law. I always wear military uniform in the army, I can't wear these." She said this, but she could hardly suppress the smile on her face.
"Take it. You're my sister, so it's only right that I buy you something. Besides, you always thought of me when you received anything from the army, so now it's my turn to take care of you. Isn't that what I should do?"
Before she could refuse again, Shen Yuzhu pulled her to another counter. There were several bags of things, including coats, pants, shoes, socks, and snacks that could be taken to the army. Zhao Yue could barely carry them all with both hands.
The two of them also browsed the men's clothing section, and Shen Yuzhu bought Zhou Congsheng a set of clothes.
After their shopping spree, the two left the department store, only to be blocked at the entrance of the alley.
Zhao Yue's eyes sharpened, and she reached out to shield Shen Yuzhu behind her.
The men in front of me had shifty eyes and were carrying sticks. Their faces were greasy, and you could smell their stench from a distance. They were clearly not good people.
What do you want to do?
Suddenly, two women stepped out from behind the men. One of them was the waitress who had been very friendly earlier. She looked at Zhao Yue and Shen Yuzhu with a fierce gaze. There was another person standing next to her, who was looking at Shen Yuzhu with hatred.
"Well, you've finally caught me, you shameless slut. You never thought you'd end up in my hands, did you?"
Shen Yuzhu frowned and stood on tiptoe to look over, racking her brains but still couldn't remember who the person in front of her was.
"Who are you? I've seen you before?"
Ding Yaqin's eyes widened instantly. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Shen Yuzhu, wishing she could rush over and tear her to pieces in the next second.
"You, you bitch, you made me lose my job! Months have passed and you still dare to say you don't know me? You shameless bastard, get her and teach this bitch a lesson!"
Shen Yuzhu looked at Ding Yaqin and thought for a long time before finally remembering who this person was.
Isn't that the grumpy saleswoman I encountered when I first came to the provincial capital to take the translator exam?
Upon hearing the order, the men in front of her immediately surrounded her. Zhao Yue put the things on the ground, shouted, and pounced on them.
Three minutes later, Zhao Yue stood with her arms crossed, stepping on the chest of one of the men, and surveyed the group of people lying down with disdain.
"Should we continue?"
"Oh dear, oh dear, please have mercy, we're just doing this for money. We just wanted to scare this woman, we didn't mean to do anything."
"Spare me, spare me! It's all her fault, it's all that woman surnamed Ding's fault. She's the one who sent us here. Please, Grandma, we'll change, we'll definitely change. We'll be kind people from now on and never do bad things again."
The man being stepped on by Zhao Yue clasped his hands together, begging for mercy with snot and tears streaming down his face. "Please, comrade, let me go! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old son. My wife is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has long legs. We've recently started earning more money, and life is just getting better and better! Ah~!"
"Smack!"
Zhao Yue lowered her head and slapped the man hard across the face, saying angrily, "Let you fucking show off to me."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Ding Yaqin was surprised that such a thin girl was so good at fighting. Her cheeks turned red and she pointed at Shen Yuzhu with a trembling finger and said, "That girl knows martial arts. You are relying on her power. What are you so arrogant about? If you are so capable, you fight me one-on-one."
"No, I'd better not. My sister is already so powerful, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle me if I made a move."
"you!"
"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff. You'll all be going to the police station soon, Ding Yaqin. Your work problems are all your own fault. You have a terrible temper with customers. People come to buy things, and the money is exchanged, right? What's with your arrogance? This department store belongs to the state, not you. Who do you think you are?"
"That's right, see? Now not only have you lost your job, but your friends have also been dragged down with you."
The woman next to Ding Yaqin panicked and lost her arrogance, crying incessantly. Zhao Yue had slapped her so hard that her back tooth was knocked out, and now even if she opened her mouth to speak, it was impossible to understand what she was saying.
A group of people were taken to the police station with the help of several bystanders.
Zhao Yue and Shen Yuzhu sat in the lobby carrying large and small bags. After a short while, Ren Dayong came out from inside. He was chatting and laughing with a policeman when he turned his head and saw Zhao Yue leaning on the shoulder of a woman named Shen Yuzhu with droopy eyes.
He patted the person next to him, waved, and walked towards the two of them.
"Zhao Yue, Comrade Shen, what's going on? Why are you here?"
"Hiss~!"
Zhao Yue ignored her completely, turning her head away in disgust. Shen Yuzhu tried to speak, but Zhao Yue pulled her back.
"Sister-in-law, don't speak, this person has ill intentions."
Ren Dayong was so angry he almost laughed. Why did they have such a big problem with him?
Shen Yuzhu and Ren Dayong exchanged a glance, then Shen Yuzhu turned and gently touched Zhao Yue's face.
"They meant no harm, Xiaoyue, don't be like that." Shen Yuzhu glanced back and forth between the two men. He looked at her with a completely open and honest gaze, but when he looked at Xiaoyue, he was like a wolf.
The good intentions are genuine, but the identity of the recipient remains to be seen.
