Chapter 80 Zheng Guoqiang and Zheng Lanping
Zheng Guoqiang was a little embarrassed: "Little sister, I don't have any cloth coupons."
"Nonsense, you obviously still have some. It's not like I don't know that."
"This is for buying clothes for your third sister-in-law. If I buy this for you, I won't be able to buy one for her."
"She hasn't married in yet, how can she be called the third sister-in-law? Wait until she does. You two aren't married yet, so you can't buy her clothes."
Zheng Guoqiang whispered, "I told her yesterday that I would buy her some clothes today. I can't go back on my word."
"So what? If she was sensible, she wouldn't have asked you to buy her anything. She's asking for this and that before we even get in the door. She's so vain."
"She didn't want it. I said I would buy it for her."
"But she didn't refuse. If she was sensible, she should have just said no instead of agreeing.
My mom and I treated her like that this morning, and we thought she would say she couldn't come, but she was so shameless that she would rather walk behind us and come along. She hasn't even arrived yet.
"I risked my life for a piece of clothing. What a waste!"
Zheng Guoqiang was a little surprised. He thought his younger sister was just a little willful and his mother was just indulging her a little. He was not at home all year round and did not have the heart to refute them. He did not expect that there was such calculation and... malice behind this action.
His surprise was fleeting. After all, this bit of malice wasn't directed at him, so he didn't take it too seriously.
He and Wumei had no feelings for each other, and their marriage was just a way for them to live together, or even just a way for each other. He would return to the army after the Chinese New Year, and Wumei would stay at home. In the final analysis, his wives were just tools he married home to fulfill his filial piety and continue his family line.
It doesn’t matter who you marry, the effect will be the same.
Seeing him silent, Zheng Lanping thought he was angry, so she pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Brother, Mom and I are doing this for your own good. We also want to test her character. You're not at home all day, and she has to be filial to you at home. If she has a bad temper and is a troublemaker, how can we live like this?"
Zheng Guoqiang lowered his eyelids and said, "It was our mother who asked someone to propose the marriage. I thought our mother should have already confirmed her character before the marriage, but I didn't expect that she would test it now."
Zheng Lanping snorted, "What do you mean? Are you blaming our mother? She gave birth to you and raised you, and you start blaming her for a wife who hasn't even married yet. Brother, you're going too far."
Besides, Mom didn't do anything. She just asked her to walk a little distance. She works every day, so walking a little distance is nothing. If she doesn't walk, should I walk? If I walk such a long distance, my feet will be worn out.
Don't worry, brother, we're just trying it out for a little while, and we won't do it again. Go buy it for me, she wasn't angry this morning, and she won't be angry if she can't buy clothes."
Zheng Guoqiang: “…Okay.”
Not to mention Wang Qingli, even the good-tempered Wang Qinghong was very angry.
Who is this?
Zheng Lanping said to the salesperson, "Comrade, I want that piece of clothing. Can you help me get it down?"
The salesperson's tone was cold: "That dress doesn't fit you, don't take it."
"How do you know it's not suitable without even trying it out? Take it off and let me try it out."
"No need to gesture. I've been a salesperson here for more than ten years and have sold countless clothes. My eyes are like a ruler. If I say you can't wear it, you just can't wear it. Don't waste your precious time here.
If you're not buying anything, just stand aside and don't disturb other comrades. The New Year is almost here, and everyone is waiting to buy things."
After saying that, the salesperson was stunned for a moment, looked at the two sisters Wang Qingli who were just looking at the items and not buying, and said, "Take your time to look and choose."
Wang Qingli smiled at her and replied crisply, "Hey."
She didn't mind. She knew the salesperson wasn't talking about her, but was specifically targeting Zheng Lanping.
No one would listen to her bullshit speech. This is a salesperson with a sense of justice!
Zheng Lanping also noticed the salesperson's discriminatory treatment and immediately got angry: "How can you be like this? I asked to buy something, but you didn't give it to me. But you treated the others well when they didn't buy anything! You are deliberately bullying me."
A woman who was choosing clothes nearby said, "How can you talk like that, little girl? How did anyone bully you? They told you that what you wore didn't suit you. They were trying to persuade you not to waste your time and money. It was all for your own good. How can you be so ignorant and turn the tables on me?"
Another older sister said, "That's right. It's all for your own good. You're so young, don't be ungrateful. People should still have a conscience."
Zheng Lanping was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and ran out.
"Little sister."
Zheng Guoqiang was chasing after him with a bunch of things in his hands.
Wang Qingli pouted at their backs and said, "What the hell?"
The ladies at the counter all laughed.
The salesperson asked Wang Qingli, "Do you know them?"
Wang Qingli said, "It's from our team."
She didn't hide anything and told the whole story about the Zheng family's outrageous actions. "He agreed to wait for them at the door when he arrived, but he went in to buy things first. His girlfriend was still standing there waiting for him!"
That girl is straightforward and simple-minded. She believes whatever people say. Who would have thought that there are so many twists and turns behind this family? "
The salesperson said, "Hey, what a piece of shit! This isn't a good family. You should return it if you can, while she's still here."
One older woman said, "Listen to advice and eat your fill, but don't jump into the fire pit knowing it's a trap. That would be foolish. It's okay to be simple-minded, but it's not okay to be completely clueless."
Wang Qingli smiled and said, "I think so too. I'll talk to her about it when I get back."
☆
Zheng Guoqiang chased Zheng Lanping out and saw Xu Wumei waiting at the door.
Zheng Guoqiang felt a little guilty, so he stopped chasing after her and said to Xu Wumei, "You're here. Sorry, we arrived a little early. Lan Ping said she wanted to go in for a stroll first, so we went in first. I guessed you weren't here yet, so I didn't come out."
Xu Wumei didn't respond to his words, but asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"
Zheng Guoqiang said, "Lan Ping wanted to buy clothes, but I didn't buy them for her. She's being petty. I'll leave the things here with you. Take a look. I'll go get her back."
As he spoke, he put the thing in his hand at Xu Wumei's feet and went to chase Zheng Lanping.
Xu Wumei looked at Zheng Guoqiang's back with a face full of sarcasm.
Zheng Guoqiang caught up with Zheng Lanping and said, "Why are you running? You'll get lost if you run again."
“Even the salesperson bullied me.”
"They just said that the clothes were inappropriate for you, it's not considered bullying."
"She doesn't care whether it fits me or not. Even if it doesn't fit me, I still have to buy it."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you, okay? Go back now."
"What about your partner?"
"I'll talk to her. She should understand. She's your sister-in-law, so it's only natural for her to give way to you, your sister-in-law."
Zheng Lanping smiled and said, "That's pretty good."
The two of them walked to the department store together. Zheng Lanping spoke before Zheng Guoqiang could, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. My brother and I will go in and buy some clothes and then come out."
Xu Wumei asked Zheng Guoqiang: "What do you say?"
Zheng Guoqiang was too guilty to meet Xu Wumei's gaze. He lowered his head and said, "I'll talk to you later. Wait for us here for a while."
After saying that, he pulled Zheng Lanping into the department store.
Xu Wumei took a few deep breaths and looked extremely ugly.
Suddenly, a man jumped out from the side, picked up the things at Xu Wumei's feet and ran away.
Xu Wumei: "..."
This person is so unlucky that even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth!
She yelled, "Catch the robber!"
Then start chasing.
The man stole the things and ran across the street, where he happened to meet Xie Yun and Xie Shen coming out of the restaurant.
When Xie Yun heard Xu Wumei's shout, he reacted quickly, stretched out his arm to his side to stop Xie Shen who was about to rush forward to catch the robber, protected him behind him, and then swept the robber to the ground with a kick.
The guy fell on his face with a "bang" sound, and it sounded like he fell pretty hard.
Xie Yun kicked him again on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.
Xu Wumei rushed over, having obviously forgotten the rules of militia training. She dragged the man by his feet and walked facefirst toward the department store, saying to Xie Yun, "Binbin, help me get the things."
Xie Yun was speechless for a second. What were you taking? These things obviously didn't belong to Xu Wumei. Also, where were you dragging them to?
She shouted, "Can any kindhearted person please go to the Political and Legal Affairs Office? Someone is robbing people in broad daylight. This is anti-Party, anti-social, anti-government, and anti-revolutionary. They are parasites of society, scum hidden among the people."
Xu Wumei: "..."
Yell, let’s catch the bad guys first.
There were many kind-hearted people at that time. An old lady helped to put things together, and a young man ran to call for help.
The political and legal team was very close here, and soon several armed soldiers arrived at the scene.
There was no police in the county town at the moment; the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs were all under the jurisdiction of the Political and Legal Affairs Group of the Revolutionary Committee, and military control was in effect. Therefore, the people who came were not police, but soldiers.
