This mother-in-law is really something else.
Although Xia Anyan really wanted that thing, there was no need to go through all this trouble.
She has money and tickets that she can exchange for and purchase in the space.
"No need, Mom, let's go back quickly."
The two chatted as they walked out.
Seeing that they were about to leave, several sales clerks at the Friendship Store immediately curled their lip, their eyes showing some disdain.
They didn't say anything, yet it was as if they said everything.
Xia Anyan hadn't paid much attention to it before, and hadn't bothered with those people at all.
But as she reached the door, just before leaving, she heard several people muttering behind her: "They have no money and yet they come here. I don't know how they have the nerve to do that?"
"That's right, everyone knows our Friendship Store is specifically for foreigners. Those who have money but no currency rarely dare to come here, for fear of losing face. These two ladies are quite bold, tsk~"
They talked and laughed, their tone full of sarcasm.
They showed no intention of restraining themselves and seemed completely unafraid of being overheard by Xia Anyan.
People who work at supply and marketing cooperatives already consider themselves superior and above others, let alone the people working at this Friendship Store.
They look down on everyone.
Gu's mother was trembling with anger and wanted to confront them, but Xia Anyan stopped her.
Gu's mother looked at her daughter-in-law with great incomprehension: "Ayan, don't stop me. I'm going to go and ask their leader right now how they were raised to say such things behind people's backs. They are really unworthy of their status."
"They are Chinese themselves, so why do they look down on Chinese people like this?"
As Gu's mother spoke, she grew angrier and angrier, her face turning red with anger.
Xia Anyan sighed when she saw her like this.
Isn't this how many people are these days? Although she still can't get used to it, she understands that living in this era means she will experience many more things in the future.
“Mom, we have money and free time, and there are many things we can do, but they can only guard this small plot of land. They can only get money if they sell their products. If they can’t sell them, they can only say some sarcastic things to amuse themselves.”
Xia Anyan didn't hide her voice when she said this.
She was saying that to those people.
Even if the Xia family falls on hard times, she will not fall on hard times.
She had enough money in her hand to last several lifetimes.
Even without those banknotes, she still had many antiques left by her mother, as well as treasures she had acquired from Xia Zhengyuan.
These things are all very valuable.
Why should she get angry over such a trivial matter?
Gu's mother glanced at her daughter-in-law and felt that she was too easy to talk to. What if she was bullied in the future?
“Ayan, you’re about to go to join the army. I’ve heard that there are military wives from all over the country there. Each of them has a different temperament and personality, and some of them even think that they are superior because they’ve been poor farmers for three generations and look down on those from the city.”
"If you go there and get bullied by those people, you'll probably have to swallow your grievances." Gu's mother held Xia Anyan's hand, feeling extremely distressed.
Xia Anyan was a little confused.
She was actually a little taken aback; how did the topic suddenly shift to this?
Clearly...
Were you talking about those sales clerks just now?
"Mom, I..." Xia Anyan wanted to explain, but her mother wouldn't listen.
She simply held Xia Anyan's hand and kept talking about her thoughts.
Xia Anyan originally wanted to explain, but after hearing so much from her, all she could do was smile.
"Mom, I may have a good personality, but that doesn't mean I can be bullied by anyone."
“That Zhou Xiuning must have said a lot of bad things about me outside. Everyone knows I'm a spoiled young lady with a bad temper, I'm quick to curse and I'll even hit people when I'm angry. Mom, do you think those people can really bully me?”
Gu's mother stared at her daughter-in-law for a long time, but she couldn't figure out that she was not as she had described.
Xia Anyan didn't seem inclined to explain.
No matter what, we should wait until this is over before making any decisions.
At least for now, she has no way to prove it to Gu's mother.
After leaving there, they went to a nearby department store.
The items here are fairly ordinary, but they are much more comprehensive than those at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The service wasn't great, but Ms. Gu ignored them the whole time, just paying with a cold face. This made the sales clerks think she was someone to be trifled with, so they treated her a little better.
Xia Anyan also bought a lot of things.
She wrote down clearly who each item was to be given to, and Gu's mother felt both gratified and heartbroken watching her actions.
"Ayan, you really didn't need to buy so much. Look, I've already bought everything." Gu's mother waved the things in her hand.
She had originally planned to take these back with her and tell her son and daughter that they were gifts from Xia Anyan.
Xia Anyan was already considered to have married down by marrying into their family, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer any grievances.
"Mom, this is my heartfelt gift, you can't refuse it for them." Xia Anyan's attitude was very firm, and she bought the things.
She doesn't lack money or tickets, nor does she need her mother to help her with errands.
She was going to live with Gu Shen at the military base, so they would definitely see each other very rarely in the future.
It's still quite important to leave them with a better impression.
At least, I won't be ridiculed by my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's relatives.
It is said that he married a pampered young lady who was down on her luck, but she couldn't even afford to buy anything and had to ask her mother-in-law to pay for it.
Just because her sister-in-law and younger sister's wife are of good character doesn't mean that everyone in their family is of good character; Xia Anyan wouldn't dare to gamble on that.
Therefore, she definitely has to take all of these things into account.
Mother Gu is increasingly finding her daughter-in-law to be smart and sensible.
Her son is so lucky; he got engaged so early on. How wonderful!
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned from shopping, they were carrying a lot of bags. They hadn't noticed it when they came, but now that they were carrying so much stuff on their way back, they both felt quite tired.
"There's just too much stuff. We should have driven the car over." Mrs. Gu wiped the sweat from her forehead, somewhat regretting her decision.
As they were talking, a car pulled up next to them.
Turning around, they saw Old Zhang greeting them.
"Sister-in-law, daughter, I've come to pick you up." Old Zhang shouted "daughter" very loudly, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and naturally wanted everyone to know.
Xia Anyan was very accommodating. She smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, you've finally arrived. Mom and I are exhausted. Come down and help us carry these things to the car. We really can't carry them anymore."
