Chapter 153 A good woman has great ambitions. Don't make a fuss.
Wen Tang only asked her, "Do you despise the poor and lower-middle peasants?"
"...I," Zhang Qingqing was visibly flustered.
She stopped standing and sat down on her seat. "Stop making trouble."
Wen Tang also crossed his arms and said, "I thought you working class people looked down on us poor and lower-middle peasants!"
Even though Zhang Qingqing was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, she didn't dare to say a word in response.
How could she say that?
If you don't handle it well, you will lose your job and be criticized and educated.
It will be a big black spot in your life in the future.
Tu Manman gritted her teeth and thought for a while before saying, "Comrade Wen keeps referring to the working class and the poor and lower-middle peasants. You want to go drink coffee, isn't that petty bourgeois?"
Wen Tang looked innocent and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I am a poor peasant. Do I know what coffee is?"
"I just thought that place was high-end and I wanted to take my friends to try some good food."
I don’t understand coffee, that’s what Zhang Qingqing said.
Wen Tang used these words to interrupt Tu Manman, and Tu Manman fell silent.
Wen Tang continued to mock, "I am a poor peasant, I work hard in the fields, how can I know what petty bourgeoisie is?"
"I'm not like you guys, you're sentimental, you're cultured, you know how to drink coffee."
Wen Tang tapped his forehead and said, "Isn't the way you guys taste coffee... called petty bourgeoisie?"
Tu Manman also sat down in a hurry. "You... stop talking nonsense."
"We, we don't have the money or time to drink that stuff."
Wen Tang was shocked. "A good woman has great ambitions. You should not make it public."
Then she looked puzzled again, "You guys get paid every month, don't you save money?"
She taught him earnestly, "This won't do!"
"You really need to learn from us poor peasants!"
"We can save a lot of money on weekdays. Even if we eat from a big pot, we can still save a lot of money in a year."
"Occasionally, I can try some of the good things from you city folks."
Tu Manman and Zhang Qingqing both lowered their heads and stopped talking.
They originally wanted to use Wen Tang's identity as a rural person to attack her and laugh at her, but instead she used this identity to mock them to her heart's content.
But she kept talking about her identity as a poor peasant, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Otherwise, if Wen Tang started to make a fuss, it would be considered that they had improper thoughts.
Although the two of them didn't say anything, Wen Tang made a "huh" sound, then took Su Xiuxiu's arm and said, "Let's go have some coffee."
"If you don't understand what it means to drink it, let's buy two more cups and try them one by one." These words were deliberately said to Zhang Qingqing and Tu Manman.
But Zhang Qingqing and Tu Manman still didn't dare to say anything.
Wen Tang is really good at attacking people with his mouth.
Wen Tang and Su Xiuxiu left, and Tu Manman and Zhang Qingqing were so angry that they didn't want to eat anymore.
"This woman is so disgusting and cruel," Zhang Qingqing was so angry that she threw her chopsticks.
The people in the restaurant were already looking at them, and Zhang Qingqing throwing the chopsticks attracted even more attention.
And without Wen Tang and Su Xiuxiu around, all eyes fell on Tu Manman and Zhang Qingqing.
Tu Manman didn't like it, so she said unhappily, "Why did you throw the chopsticks?"
Zhang Qingqing put the chopsticks back in place. "I didn't drop it for you to see."
She continued to complain, "This Su Xiuxiu is the same. Someone took away the man she liked, but she became friends with him instead. She is really hopeless."
"Just because someone said they would buy her coffee?"
"Can't afford it or what?"
Zhang Qingqing kept looking at Tu Manman while she said this. She was wondering if Tu Manman would say, "Come on, I'll treat you to a drink. They're not the only ones who can afford it."
Or, "A country boy showing off his wealth?"
But Tu Manman only asked her "Do you still want to eat?"
Zhang Qingqing picked up the chopsticks silently again. She hadn’t eaten much just now!
Tu Manman didn't eat anymore.
Zhang Qingqing took a few bites and felt she had no appetite, so she said, "No more, let's go!"
The two left the state-owned hotel and began to walk along the roadside aimlessly and accurately.
Until we reached the cafe.
The coffee shops in Hai City are all left over from the past. They are spacious and beautifully decorated.
The bright glass windows reveal people drinking coffee inside.
Wen Tang and Su Xiuxiu sat near the window.
In front of the two of them was not only coffee, but also a small cake with a fork, which was beautiful and exquisite.
Wen Tang and Su Xiuxiu sat opposite each other, smiling sweetly. It was unknown what they were talking about, but they were laughing happily.
Tu Manman and Zhang Qingqing watched this scene through the window.
It was already eye-catching enough, and then the waiter happened to bring something else at this moment. It was two beautiful servings of ice cream, which were obviously rich and sweet at first glance.
Zhang Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "She is called a poor and lower-middle peasant?"
Wen Tang happened to tilt his head and saw the two people.
Through the window, Wen Tang deliberately scooped a mouthful of ice cream and put it into his mouth, then looked very enjoyable.
He even deliberately shook this enjoying face towards the people outside the window and made a face at them.
Zhang Qingqing's face was distorted with anger.
"It's so disgusting, it's like I haven't eaten anything," Zhang Qingqing screamed helplessly.
By the way, she had never eaten ice cream in a coffee shop.
On weekdays, they just buy milk popsicles from the agency store.
After Zhang Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at Tu Manman again, expecting Tu Manman to speak.
But Tu Manman didn't say a single extra word at this time.
Because she has no money either!
Her situation is different from Su Xiuxiu's. Su Xiuxiu is a local girl. Her family has working parents and her brother and sister also have jobs. Su Xiuxiu can just spend her monthly money on herself, so treating people to meals and soda drinks is no problem.
She is different. Like Wen Tang, she is from the county town under Hai City.
My father worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, but my mother didn't have a job.
There is a younger sister and two younger brothers in the family. They are all relatively young, especially the two younger brothers, who are still at school age and spend a lot of money on daily basis.
She has to use part of her monthly salary to support her family and cannot spend it carelessly.
Zhang Qingqing can take advantage of her every day simply because there are so many people pursuing her.
If she goes to the cafe again now, she might not have enough living expenses for this month.
So Tu Manman is very good at being mute.
Seeing that Zhang Qingqing's face was still distorted, Tu Manman could only say, "Let's go. The sun is too strong."
Zhang Qingqing stomped her feet and left with her, "Bah, Su Xiuxiu is so heartless."
"We helped her come all the way here, but she ended up eating and drinking with others."
"Don't expect me to pay attention to her anymore."
After the two men left, Wen Tang asked Su Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, how did you get to know them?"
Su Xiuxiu watched the two people walking away outside and smiled faintly, "We are from the same group. Manman is the mainstay of the group. She is also very warm-hearted. Everyone gets along well with her."
"When I first went there, she took good care of me, and gradually we became familiar with each other."
"Qingqing was good friends with Manman at first, and then I asked Manman out to play, and she came along. After a while, we became familiar with each other, and then the three of us played together."
