Chapter 39: Being cheated
In this way, not only can I buy the clothes I like, but I can also stay away and return to the Fu family later.
After all, it was just a temporary place where she lived, not her real home.
Moreover, Fu's mother and father did not welcome her back.
If she went back earlier, they would be displeased with each other.
It would be better for her to hide away and have some peace and quiet.
And there is no girl who doesn’t like shopping.
Jiang Xin is no exception.
The clothes the original owner was wearing were the most popular styles of that era.
But, after all, it is not the style that Jiang Xin likes.
Compared to sweet-style little skirts, Jiang Xin actually prefers to wear comfortable pants that are easier to move around in.
Nowadays, she has to set up a stall in the vegetable market every day, so it is naturally more comfortable for her to wear pants.
So, Jiang Xin went to the department store with a plan in mind, and she knew very well what she wanted.
The vegetable market is about fifteen minutes away from the department store.
It is July and August now, and the weather is still very hot.
The temperature was around 28 or 29 degrees Celsius at noon. After walking for a while, Jiang Xin's forehead was sweating from the heat.
There were not many means of transportation these days. The buses were quite far from the vegetable market, and they ran according to a timetable and only came at fixed times. If you went to wait, you didn't know how long you would have to wait.
So, Jiang Xin had no choice but to walk.
And, to be honest, this fifteen-minute journey was not too far for her.
It's just that the weather is too hot and she can't stand it.
Jiang Xin had no choice but to take out a sun hat from the space while the pedestrians on the road were not paying attention and put it on her head.
With the protection of the sun hat, Jiang Xin suddenly felt much cooler.
Whether it was psychological or physical, it gave her a certain psychological comfort.
Anyway, once I put on this hat, I feel so relieved.
If it wasn't a sunny day, holding an umbrella would seem a bit too weird in this era. Jiang Xin really wanted to take an umbrella out from the space to block the sun.
But on second thought, if she really did that, she would probably be stared at like a monkey by the passers-by around her.
Jiang Xin doesn't like that feeling.
So, she gave up the idea immediately and chose to take out a sun hat.
Although the effects are different, the acceptance level is higher.
Moreover, she chose the most common styles, which would not be too conspicuous when worn on the head even in this era.
It's always better to keep a low profile.
It took about fifteen minutes to get there. The department store is located in one of the more prosperous areas in the town.
After all, when people come here to buy something, they will give priority to this place.
Compared to other places, the things in the department store are considered to be relatively high-end.
When giving gifts during festivals, everyone will give priority to purchasing in department stores.
Not only is the packaging beautiful, but the variety of products inside is also first-rate, and the quality of the goods is also quite good.
In terms of price, it is half the price of similar products sold in other places, so the cost-effectiveness is not very high.
But as for this person, when he gives gifts during festivals or something, to be honest, he is just giving packaging and face.
Therefore, even if the price is relatively high, there will still be many people coming to pay for it.
After Jiang Xin entered the department store, she took a look at the mall's floor plan and accurately found the place where clothes were sold, which was on the second floor of the department store.
Jiang Xin felt lucky that the floor was not high, otherwise she would have to climb the stairs and be exhausted. There were no elevators in that era, so she could only climb the stairs by herself.
Moreover, this department store is eight stories high.
If the place that sold clothes was on the eighth floor, she could only accept her fate and climb up. There was no other way, unless she gave up and gave up the idea of buying clothes.
Jiang Xin had no plans to buy anything else, so she went straight to the second floor of the mall.
As soon as she entered the second floor, Jiang Xin was attracted by the dazzling array of clothes.
There is no girl who doesn't like new clothes.
Jiang Xin was walking and shopping. She was dressed very nicely, so when she entered the second floor, she was spotted by many sales staff.
In this day and age, sales clerks in department stores are all formal employees.
They are the kind who get paid for their work, and the goods they sell are all public property. Their income usually comes from a basic salary plus sales commission.
So sometimes, how many clothes can be sold becomes very important.
After all, this is the most important thing that determines their salary.
Those who can come here to work have all put in a lot of effort. People die for money and birds die for food.
Sometimes, in order to compete for sales, these salespeople don’t care about the relationships among their colleagues.
After all, everyone has a family to support, and it is not easy to make money these days, so naturally we have to seize the time and grab the opportunity to make money.
Judging from the way Jiang Xin was dressed, she looked like someone who had no shortage of money.
So, as soon as Jiang Xin entered the second floor, she was surrounded by several sales clerks.
They all called her and wanted her to pay for their shopping.
Jiang Xin didn't understand the reason, so she was intimidated by this group of enthusiastic salesmen.
"What a beautiful girl! Our second floor is dedicated to selling women's clothing. Is there anything you need? I can help you with some advice."
"Do you need a skirt? It's summer now, and it's the perfect time to wear a skirt. I have some new stock coming in, and I haven't unpacked it yet. I'm sure you'll be the first to see it. How about trying two?"
At this time, Jiang Xin had just finished listening to the sales pitch of two salesmen who were about thirty years old.
Before she could react, she was pulled over by a fifty-year-old aunt:
"Little girl, don't be fooled by them. Listen to me. Fall is coming soon. They asked you to buy a skirt or something. Isn't this just cheating you?"
"I won't wear it for many days, so it's a waste of money to buy it. It will just sit in the bottom of the closet. In a few days, summer skirts and other things will be on sale. If I buy it then, I won't even spend half the price now. Besides, clothes change every year, so by next year, this style will be out of fashion, so you've wasted your money!"
"As the old saying goes, clothes are out of season when you buy a villa by the sea. Why not come to my place and buy some autumn clothes? They have just been released and are very cheap right now. I guarantee you won't get cheated or fooled!"
