Chapter 177 Enemies Are Envious of Each Other
When they arrived at the candy counter, Zhao Changying refused to let Yu Hui buy milk candy and only allowed her to buy cheap fruit hard candy.
Yu Hui asked the salesperson to grab some more, and it weighed four pounds.
"Mom, didn't you say that mother-in-law likes to eat soft snacks? Why don't you buy her some egg cakes?" Yu Hui blinked and looked at Zhao Changying.
Zhao Changying looked at her helplessly, and it was not easy to reject her filial piety, especially since this filial piety was for the old lady at home.
So, she nodded.
Yu Hui took Beibei to the snack counter and said, "Comrade, please weigh two kilograms of egg cakes and two kilograms of milk biscuits for me."
"Didn't you say you only wanted to buy egg cakes?" Zhao Changying grabbed her hand.
Yu Hui turned her head and smiled, "Milk biscuits are delicious too. Mother-in-law will definitely like them."
"You..." Zhao Changying shook his head helplessly.
When Beibei saw the snacks in the glass cabinet, his eyes widened, his little mouth slightly opened, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
While wiping her saliva, Yu Hui said to the salesperson who was weighing the biscuits, "Give me another two pounds of old bread."
"Why are you still buying stale bread?" Zhao Changying frowned.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Mom, you guys should eat some on the way home. This old bread is convenient and filling. It's much cheaper and tastier than the food on the train."
Zhao Changying shook her head and said, "You always have so many excuses."
The salesperson who was weighing the old bread smiled and said, "Auntie, your daughter-in-law is so filial, you should just accept it happily."
"That's right." The salesperson at the nearby counter also echoed, "Many people want their daughters-in-law to buy these for them, but their daughters-in-law are not happy to buy them. If your daughter-in-law wants to be filial, then just let her be. Who's stopping someone from being filial?"
Zhao Changying was delighted to hear this, her face lit up. "Oh, how filial their son and daughter-in-law are! As their mother, I also feel sorry for them and can't bear to let them spend money."
"It is said that a loving mother makes her son filial, and a virtuous mother-in-law makes her daughter-in-law filial. This is particularly reflected in your family." The salesperson at the snack counter said with a smile.
Honey cake costs one yuan and three cents per pound, milk biscuits cost one yuan and one cent, and old bread costs eighty cents per pound. Without food coupons, they are all two cents more expensive.
There were not many food coupons left at home, so Yu Hui didn't give any food coupons. She just spent 7.6 yuan on snacks.
When paying, Zhao Changying frowned so hard that he could pinch a mosquito to death, and he refused to let Yu Hui buy anything else no matter what.
When they came, they brought so much food, including four chickens and ducks, as well as some grain.
They were leaving and asked to take these things with them. Yu Hui always felt that she was at a loss.
After much persuasion, they bought four more boxes of vanishing cream, one box each for the three sisters-in-law and Gu Qiuyu who was at home.
The sister-in-law didn't buy it. Zhao Changying said she had one herself and there was no need to buy it for her.
Yu Hui bought the snow cream for Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye when she sneaked into the city last time. Now they both apply it on their faces every day.
After applying it for more than half a month, this little face looks whiter than when it first came.
I also spent five dollars to buy a pack of Pegasus cigarettes. Several men in my hometown smoke, and a pack contains twenty packs, so they can smoke together.
After buying these, Zhao Changying dragged Yu Hui out of the state-owned store, fearing that she would stay inside and continue shopping.
After buying all the things and walking out of the state-owned store, it was already late.
"Mom, how about we eat noodles at the state-owned store before going back?"
Just as Zhao Changying was about to refuse, Gu Xixi touched her belly and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, I'm hungry."
Why can't she let her grandson starve?
"Eat, eat."
Yu Hui led her whole family into the state-owned restaurant. It was still early and there were not many people in the restaurant.
There was only one waiter with two braids and an apron, wiping the table with his back to them.
Yu Hui walked to the order counter and shouted to the waiter wiping the table, "Comrade, please order."
The waiter didn't respond and continued to wipe the table with his head down.
"Comrade?" Yu Hui frowned and shouted again.
"Xiao Wu, what are you daydreaming about? Didn't you hear someone calling out your order?" Wang Defu in the kitchen heard the shouting, stuck his head out from the food delivery port, and yelled at Xiao Wu who was wiping the table.
Xiao Wu finally came to her senses and quickly turned around to place her order, but after taking two steps, she froze and looked at Yu Hui angrily.
When Yu Hui saw her, her pupils shrank and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Wu Hongyan?
Wasn't she demoted to a local company?
How come you end up working in a state-owned restaurant?
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy. Wu Hongyan was holding the rag used to wipe the table, and her whole body was shaking.
The malice in her eyes was so strong that anyone with eyes could see it.
Gu Qiuyan took a step forward, then a step to the right, blocking Yu Hui behind her.
"Why are you looking at my sister Xiaohui like that?"
When Wang Defu saw Xiao Wu turned around and stopped moving, and saw that the customer was an acquaintance, he walked out directly from the kitchen.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing? You don't even greet the guests. Do you still want to work?" Wang Defu walked over with a frown.
When the manager hired Xiao Wu, he felt that this girl was not a hard worker. In the five days since she came here, not only did she keep making mistakes at work, but she was also always dazed and distracted.
If she hadn't gotten into the state-owned restaurant through the manager's connections, and her family seemed to be related to the manager, given his temper, he would have started scolding her long ago.
Wu Hongyan felt extremely embarrassed to be told this by the chef in front of her enemies. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Hui, you're very proud of yourself for having caused me this?"
Wang Defu looked at Wu Hongyan, then at his old acquaintance Yu Hui. "Xiao Yu, do you know Xiao Wu?"
He heard from the manager that Xiao Wu used to be in the military art troupe, but was framed by someone and left the troupe and the army, and used connections to get a job in their state-owned hotel.
She spoke to Xiao Yu like that. Was it Xiao Yu who caused her to leave the art troupe?
Before Yu Hui could say anything, Gu Qiuyan put her hands on her hips and said, "Who are you? Why do you say that my sister Xiaohui harmed you? Don't slander me."
"Wu Hongyan, I remember that Commander Zhan demoted you to a local company. Why are you wiping tables here?" Yu Hui frowned and looked at Wu Hongyan.
"Oh~" Gu Qiuyan understood. "You're the female soldier from the art troupe who slandered my sister Xiaohui as a thief on the bus, got slapped in the face, and went to the military family compound to spread rumors about her, and was punished by the military commander?"
She raised her voice deliberately so that the people standing at the kitchen door watching the fun could hear it.
Zhao Changying, Gu Qiuye, Gu Dong and others all looked at Wu Hongyan angrily.
She is a person who first slandered and then spread rumors, and was punished. Now she says that the people she slandered and spread rumors about harmed her. Where does she get the face to do that?
"..." Wu Hongyan choked and was unable to refute. Her face flushed red and she hated Yu Hui in her heart.
Wang Defu looked at Wu Hongyan in surprise, "Xiao Wu, is this how you left the army?"
Yu Hui corrected her, "The commander of the military region only asked her to leave the art troupe and transfer her to a local company, but he didn't ask her to leave the army."
She was also very curious about how Wu Hongyan left the army.
Wu Hongyan yelled angrily, "If it weren't for you, would I have left the art troupe and been expelled from the army?"
Was she expelled from the army?
Yu Hui and the other employees of the state-owned hotel all widened their eyes in shock.
