After Xia Anyan returned, she told him what had happened.
When everyone learned what she had done, they all felt that she had done the right thing.
The matter was temporarily put aside, and as long as those people didn't actively cause trouble, Xia Anyan didn't want to pursue it any further.
After all, she didn't have that much time or energy.
To everyone's surprise, instead of her taking the initiative, someone else did.
The next morning, Xia Anyan had just come out of the guesthouse when she was stopped by someone here.
The person looked both unfamiliar and familiar to her.
The woman opposite him frowned, her face full of disdain: "You speak so disrespectfully, I thought you were from some big family, but it turns out you're just an outsider."
“You said some really nasty things when you left the Friendship Store yesterday. I was upset. You need to apologize to me right now.”
The person who arrived was Zhou Yatong.
After returning home last night, she became increasingly angry, feeling as if she had been unjustly harmed.
The sales clerks at their Friendship Store had a much higher status than those at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Who would dare look down on them?
The wealthy people they've met are all either rich or powerful. Even they themselves have status and position, so why should they be looked down upon?
So, after telling her parents about it, she looked up where Xia Anyan was staying and found this guesthouse.
Xia Anyan stood there, her face expressionless.
Especially after hearing what this woman said, she didn't even bother to say another word.
Is this person out of their mind? Didn't they secretly start cricketing yesterday?
OMG, what's wrong with this world? Why are there people like this?
"I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Zhou Yatong was getting a little irritated.
She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Is this woman deaf or mute? She should at least make a sound.
The commotion outside quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
This included Gu's mother.
She originally thought she came here to watch the excitement and then chat with her daughter-in-law later.
To her surprise, her daughter-in-law was one of the key figures in this incident, leaving her dumbfounded.
When she saw who was standing opposite her, she was even more dumbfounded.
"Ayan, what happened? Did she bully you?"
Gu's mother looked at Zhou Yatong with a wary expression, and also shielded Xia Anyan with her body.
Xia Anyan grabbed Gu's mother's hand and patted it: "Mom, she didn't hurt me, she's just... stupid."
Zhou Yatong instantly exploded: "What nonsense are you spouting? You actually called me stupid?"
"Wasn't I clear enough? Do I need to repeat myself?" Xia Anyan retorted coldly.
That's fucking outrageous.
Zhou Yatong was completely enraged by Xia Anyan's words, "You're so stupid." She jumped up and down like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing her finger at Xia Anyan's nose and yelling, "What kind of attitude is this? You keep swearing at people. I think you're a typical capitalist!"
"Look at your arrogant attitude! Do you really think you can look down on people just because you have a little money?" Her chest heaved, and her eyes flashed with indignation. "Let me tell you, this is a new society, and we can't tolerate people like you acting like bullies!"
"What you said at the Friendship Store yesterday, looking down on us sales clerks, and today you publicly insulted me again! This isn't over! I'm going to report you to the neighborhood committee right now and have the organization thoroughly investigate your background to see if you're harboring any bourgeois malice!"
"How dare you!" Gu's mother took a step forward, shielding Xia Anyan even more tightly. Her sharp gaze swept over Zhou Yatong. "What kind of person my daughter-in-law is is none of your business! You say she has the airs of a capitalist? I'll show you who she really is!"
Mother Gu raised her voice and said clearly, "My daughter-in-law, Xia Anyan, is married to a soldier who defends our country. She is a respectable military dependent! Besides, her family has been poor peasants for three generations, with impeccable revolutionary credentials!"
"As for the capitalist you mentioned, she is indeed a state-recognized red-letter capitalist, but that's an honor bestowed by the state because she responded to the state's call and contributed to the country's economic development. Tell me, what's wrong with such a person?"
Zhou Yatong was stunned by Gu's mother's barrage of words. When she came to her senses, her face turned pale and then red.
She never imagined that what she thought was an ordinary woman from out of town actually had so many identities.
But she couldn't suppress her anger. She felt that the other party was bullying her by abusing their power, so she retorted, "What's wrong with being a military family member? What's wrong with being a poor peasant? Even capitalists can't bully people like this! What kind of skill is it for you to gang up on me!"
"Do you think this will absolve you of the harm you've done to me? If you don't apologize to me today, this isn't over. I'm going to find someone to stand up for me!" she said, her eyes reddening as if she had been bullied.
Xia Anyan had seen unreasonable people before, but she had never seen anyone so brainless.
She pinched the bridge of her nose: "Fine, you want me to apologize to you? Then I'd like to ask, what exactly did I say that makes you want me to apologize?"
Zhou Yatong choked for a moment.
The onlookers were also curious about her appearance.
Someone couldn't help but chime in: "Comrade, tell me quickly, what did this comrade say yesterday?"
"Yes, how can we help you if you don't tell us?"
Everyone's here for the fun, but the people here don't just side with whoever seems pitiful. After all, they live in a big city, and they still have some sense.
As more and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, Zhou Yatong became even more confident.
She retorted, "Are you saying that because we're poor, we can only entertain ourselves? Does that mean that you rich people can look down on others like this?"
"We are all human beings, with different starting points, but we are all working hard. Why does she say such things about me?" Zhou Yatong brainwashed herself and felt that what she said was right.
Those around her who heard this also felt that Xia Anyan had gone too far.
They looked at Xia Anyan and Gu's mother, their voices accusing: "Comrade, what you said is indeed wrong. How could you say such a thing?"
"We're all working hard to earn money. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can look down on us like this."
"A capitalist is a capitalist. What does it matter if he's red or not? I think the money in his hands comes from exploiting ordinary people."
"She's so beautiful, I never expected her to be so vicious. How could she have the nerve to treat such a young girl like that?"
