Chapter 9 This is the difference between people...
When the two heard at work that Tan Chen was getting married, they immediately took leave and came to congratulate him.
Unexpectedly, they were still late.
Without giving it any time to think, the two men walked up to Shang Ruoting and gave her a standard military salute: "Hello, sister-in-law."
This was the first time in Shang Ruoting's life that she was treated so seriously, and she was a little at a loss.
"Haha... Hello to you too..."
When the salesperson saw Shang Ruoting introduce herself and the two men respectfully addressed her as "sister-in-law," he realized that he had indeed misunderstood...
The salesperson felt a little embarrassed at once, but he did not explain too much. He pulled another salesperson to help Shang Ruoting prepare the goods.
Then, he lowered his head and clattered the abacus beads to help Shang Ruoting with the accounting.
Soon, the price was calculated: "Comrade, the things you just wanted to buy are a total of 11 yuan and 60 cents, plus 20 catties and 2 ounces of grain coupons and 2 catties of meat coupons."
When Shang Ruoting heard the price, she was stunned for a moment. Everything she saw looked very cheap. Could it be that she overestimated the purchasing power of this great unity?
It seems that less important items such as fruit juice, candies, etc. cannot be purchased for the time being.
Shang Ruoting was just about to talk to the salesperson when the short man standing behind him came forward and handed the salesperson a Great Unity banknote and a two-yuan bill.
"Sister-in-law, let me pay for this!"
"It just so happens that we don't know what gift to buy for your house!"
Shang Ruoting was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to take advantage of others, especially for so much money.
However, she only had that one big unity note in her pocket, which was indeed not enough to pay.
While he was hesitating, the salesperson had already taken the money handed over by the short man and swiftly gave him 40 cents in change.
She looked at Shang Ruoting again, waiting for her to pay the bill.
After Shang Ruoting reacted, she counted a few bills and handed them over.
The salesperson took the ticket, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem with the quantity, put it in a box specially for various tickets.
Shang Ruoting turned around and looked at the goods she had just purchased. If these two people had not come, with her great strength, she could carry them back, or put them in the space on the way when no one was around, and then find an opportunity to take them out before getting home.
Now it seems that all the methods she thought of are no longer necessary.
Two male comrades stepped forward and hurriedly put the small items into the washbasin, while another man picked up the food and other items and strode out. Shang Ruoting was completely free.
On the way, several people walked very fast and chatted casually.
During the conversation, Shang Ruoting learned that the two were small cadres in the unit. The tall one was named Gao Ming and the short one was named Li Jiasheng.
It was not surprising at all that they called her sister-in-law. First of all, they were not as old as Tan Chen, and they were all Tan Chen's subordinates.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that some of them have become small leaders at a young age. This is all earned by them risking their lives to make contributions.
Shang Ruoting truly respects them, especially her husband Tan Chen. His mission was quite dangerous and it was said that only a few people came back alive.
If he hadn't been injured and blinded, he would definitely have been promoted.
The few of them chatted along the way and unknowingly walked into Sihe Village.
Seeing many villagers running in one direction, Shang Ruoting knew that Secretary Cui must have gone to the Shang family.
Shang Ruoting looked at Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng apologetically and said, "My home is at the westernmost end of the village. It's the one without a gate. You guys go there first. What happened up ahead has something to do with me. I'll go over and take a look."
She chattered a lot and then ran away.
Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng looked at each other and walked in the direction indicated by Shang Ruoting.
When Shang Ruoting ran to the door of the Shang family's house, it was already surrounded by people.
She was strong and small, so she squeezed to the innermost part of the circle without much effort.
Secretary Cui was questioning Shang Ruolian: "Zhang Heping has confessed everything. It was you who gave the money and planned to kidnap Shang.
Ruoting, do you have anything to explain?"
Shang Ruolian is the second daughter of the original owner's uncle Shang Lichun. Although she is not as pretty as Shang Ruoting, she is very popular in the village.
She has been diligent and hardworking since she was a child, and she is also very shy in front of the villagers.
When people heard that she kidnapped Shang Ruoting for Zhang Heqian, almost no one believed it.
"How is this possible? How could Ruolian do such a thing?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Miss Ruolian hasn't said anything yet. She must have been wronged."
Shang Ruoting was listening to the discussions among the crowd and couldn't help but look up to Shang Ruolian.
This person is really good at building a good image for himself. Even after making such a big mistake, there are still a group of people defending him.
If it were her, it would be a good thing those people didn't add fuel to the fire.
Alas! This is the gap between people...
When Aunt Zhang Lanxiang heard Secretary Cui mention money, her heart skipped a beat.
When she was tidying up the cabinet this morning, she took a special look at where she kept her money and found that there was indeed less money in it.
She originally thought that Shang Lichun had secretly taken the money to buy some wine, and planned to question him when he came back in the evening.
Unexpectedly, the money was stolen by her most well-behaved daughter, and she also gave it to Zhang Heping...
Thinking of this, Zhang Lanxiang became a little angry, but at this time, she couldn't tell the truth, and she had to protect Shang Ruolian.
"Secretary Cui, I respect you as my leader, but you can't just blame my Ruolian for everything, right?"
The two young men next to Secretary Cui saw Zhang Lanxiang making a fuss and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"Shut up, the person the secretary is asking about is Shang Ruolian."
Zhang Lanxiang was so frightened by the two men's yelling that she shrank her neck and took two steps back.
At this time, Shang Ruolian had already squeezed out a few tears, and her look made people feel pity for her.
"Secretary Cui, I'm busy working all day and have never done anything like this."
"What's more, Ruoting is my sister. I have no reason to treat her like this..."
Secretary Cui looked at Shang Ruolian who was crying bitterly, and felt a little shaken, but he still wanted to find out the truth.
"Zhang Heping explained that you did this because you like Tan Chen."
At this moment, Shang Ruolian was extremely nervous, and was also wondering which link had gone wrong?
Her plan was flawless. Zhang Heping first deceived Shang Ruoting in the name of Qiao Yuan. If that failed, Zhang Heping would take the initiative to seduce Shang Ruoting. No matter what the result was, Shang Ruoting could not escape the fate of becoming a slut. By then, Tan Chen would no longer want a woman with a completely ruined reputation.
