Chapter 73 The "Former" Daughter-in-Law of the Commune Secretary
Wang Qing stood up suddenly, pointed at Gu Yuehuai's nose and scolded: "You! What are you talking about?!"
The salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative is one of the "Eight Major Members of the Commune". Who wouldn't flatter him when meeting him?
It was the first time she heard someone dare to laugh at and mock her in front of her. Does this person not want to come to the supply and marketing cooperative again?
The other sales clerks, including Yao Meili, looked at Gu Yuehuai in surprise. They were used to seeing people who acted humble and were afraid of offending their people. This kind of tough guy was really good.
Gu Yuehuai shrugged and said with a smile: "Was I wrong? I thought that you, the employees of the commune with a regular system, were all good comrades with high quality, high consciousness and high moral character. It was not until I saw you that I realized that I was superficial."
"You earn the state's salary, eat the state's commercial grain, and are envied by others, but you are so mean to the people of the state. Let me ask you, don't you feel guilty sitting on the stool of the supply and marketing cooperative?"
These words were so sharp that Wang Qing's face turned pale and blue, and his arm, which was pointing at Gu Yuehuai's nose, trembled constantly.
Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to pay attention. He picked out some at the counter and said, "This is it. How much is it?"
Yao Meili came back to her senses. She looked at Gu Yuehuai with some curiosity, and suddenly found that she looked familiar, but she couldn't tell exactly where she looked familiar.
She took a look at the material Gu Yuehuai had chosen, which was light blue with small flowers, and said, "This material is ordinary light-flowered cloth, one meter is 95 cents, and there are three feet of cloth coupons, how much do you want?"
Gu Yuehuai thought for a moment and said, "About 1.5 meters."
An adult needs about two and a half meters of cloth to make clothes, and a four-year-old child needs about one meter.
Yao Meili nodded, took out a ruler and scissors and prepared to measure and cut the cloth.
Wang Qing reacted at this time and immediately scolded: "No! You can't sell it to her! I don't agree to sell it to her!"
Yao Meili frowned and didn't want to pay any attention to it. She continued cutting the material in her hand. However, Wang Qing was annoyed. He pushed Yao Meili hard and put the cloth away: "I said no, it means no!"
Yao Meili was pushed down and cried out in pain.
Gu Yuehuai's face turned cold. Before he could say anything, he heard someone exclaim, "She's bleeding! Meili is bleeding! Go to the clinic quickly!"
She pursed her red lips and glanced at Yao Meili.
It turned out that Wang Qing had lost control of his strength and pushed Yao Meili directly against the corner of the counter. Her head was cut and blood was flowing down her forehead, looking like she was injured after being pushed down by Chen Yin when she was just reborn.
Wang Qing also looked at Yao Meili. Suddenly, his hands holding the cloth trembled, his face turned pale, and panic flashed in his eyes.
She said hurriedly: "No, no...it's not me, it's her who didn't stand firmly! It's her!"
No one paid attention to Wang Qing's words. Gu Yuehuai thought of the words "daughter-in-law of the commune secretary" that had just been mentioned, and then looked at Yao Meili, who was holding her head with a look of pain on her face, and volunteered, "I'll take her to the clinic."
Several sales clerks were more than happy to do so. They didn't want to get involved in such disputes between colleagues in the first place. Moreover, it was working hours now. If they sent Yao Meili to the clinic, how would their wages be calculated?
Logically, this matter should be handed over to Wang Qing, but looking at her appearance, it is impossible to ask her to send someone to the health center.
Now that Gu Yuehuai had offered to help, their problem had been solved. The salespeople thanked him again and again: "Thank you for your help, comrade! Beauty is in your hands!"
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and left a few words as he helped Yao Meili leave.
"The injury to the beautiful comrade's head cannot be in vain. Comrade, this mean salesman, I hope you can prepare the medical expenses and lost wages. After all, we are all witnesses, and you ignored the police even though we reported it to you."
As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. The other salespeople didn't like the jealous Wang Qing. After hearing what Gu Yuehuai said, they all agreed: "Yes, Wang Qing, it was you who pushed the beauty. We all saw it!"
Wang Qing's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't speak. He only breathed a sigh of relief after Gu Yuehuai helped Yao Meili walk away.
She immediately threw the cloth on the counter and hurriedly left the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Where is she going? Is she going to run away?" an older salesperson asked hesitantly.
Another salesperson said sourly, "Escape? You think too much. He must have gone to find someone to back him up. It's a pity that Meili and Qin Mu broke up. Otherwise, it would be Wang Qing's turn to take the lead?"

Gu Yuehuai sat in the clinic, watching the doctor bandage Yao Meili's wound.
The wound on her head disappeared shortly after she obtained the Sumeru Space. Although the water from the space well cannot prolong life, it is quite effective for minor injuries and illnesses, and she did not have any scars at all.
After bandaging the wound, the doctor reminded them not to come into contact with water, and then the two left the clinic.
Yao Meili touched the gauze on her head, turned to look at Gu Yuehuai beside her, her heart warmed, and said: "Thank you, comrade. My name is Yao Meili. I don't know your name yet?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said lightly: "Gu Yuehuai."
"Yue Huai, can I call you that?" Yao Meili tilted her head to look at her. Although her tone was light, her eyes were warm.
Gu Yuehuai nodded. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Last time I came to the supply and marketing cooperative, I heard that you were getting married next month? To the son of the commune secretary?"
Yao Meili paused, but she didn't feel offended. After all, for ordinary people from small families, the secretary of the commune was already a very high official position. If she heard something about it occasionally, she would always want to ask a few more questions, right?
She took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone: "We were planning to get married, but we broke up two days ago."
This incident had a huge impact on her. She even lost her enthusiasm for work. After the breakup, even her family didn't understand and asked her to go back to save the marriage. Most of her colleagues were gloating over her misfortune, and she had no place to vent.
Now that Gu Yuehuai mentioned it, she actually felt like speaking out loud.
Yao Meili was about to speak when she heard Gu Yuehuai's thoughtful question: "So, it's Qin Mu?"
"Do you know Qin Mu?" Yao Meili was slightly surprised. She turned around and looked at Gu Yuehuai seriously for a few more times. The more she looked, the more familiar he looked. After a while, she suddenly had an idea and blurted out in shock: "Are you Aunt Lin's daughter?"
When he suddenly heard the words "Aunt Lin", Gu Yuehuai felt as if he was in another world.
Yao Meili was a little excited and asked again, "You are, right? You are the daughter that Aunt Lin gave birth to before? You look very similar, especially your eyes, they are just like each other!"
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Really?"
Perhaps she noticed that she was not in a good mood, and thought about the family she was going to marry into after Gu Yuehuai's mother got married for the second time, the excitement on Yao Meili's face faded, and she became a little unhappy, and said awkwardly: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Gu Yuehuai laughed: "Why apologize? You didn't do anything wrong."
Yao Meili bit her lip, looked at the smile on Gu Yuehuai's lips, and whispered, "I... really like Aunt Lin. She is so gentle and kind."
Gentle? Kind?
Gu Yuehuai almost laughed out loud. Is her mother such a person?
No, at least in her father's eyes, her mother is a passionate, cheerful, educated, thoughtful and strong-willed woman, otherwise she would not have resolutely left after giving birth to her and chose to marry a city dweller.
