Ji Xia was quite impressed by Liu Pianran's expression; was this the legendary "social arrogance syndrome"?
Is this a request for recommendations or a show of bravado?
She glanced coldly at the two of them, her gaze sweeping over Lin Haodong's feigned calm face, and nodded indifferently.
"Wedding candy, cakes, cigarettes, and alcohol are in this section, washbasins, towels, and kettles are opposite, and quilts, clothing, and fabrics are at the fabric store counter. All you need is a ticket; pick them out yourself!"
Just as Liu Pianran was about to say something, Lin Haodong pulled her aside: "Let's go pick out a new outfit for you first, we'll talk about the rest later."
The two of them had a limited budget, which Liu Pianran was well aware of. Seeing that he prioritized her new dress, she couldn't help but give him a charming smile.
Ji Xia rolled her eyes, turned around and went to the side to greet the guests.
When Liu Hongju saw the two enter the supply and marketing cooperative, she came over and chuckled, "They have such thick skin, I wonder how they take care of themselves."
Just then, a customer was picking out sugarcane, and Liu Hongju smiled meaningfully:
"I think this is too mushy. It's tough and hard to chew, and it doesn't taste good. I would rather buy this candied winter melon. Older people and children would definitely like it more."
Lin Haodong turned around and saw Liu Hongju advising a customer not to buy sugarcane, but instead to buy winter melon candy for the child.
He snorted coldly, and Liu Pianran had already seen the dresses in the hands of several girls.
Although she had only seen the tip of the iceberg, her eyes lit up at the sight of the lotus leaf collar, and she smiled at He Qiuying, "Is this a new style? Let me see?"
The seven dresses were divided among several people, and one of them even wanted two more, planning to give one away and keep the other for himself.
Seeing that someone else was coming, he quickly paid the money.
After taking the money, He Qiuying turned around and coldly replied, "That model is sold out. Pick something else!"
"Everyone else has one, but I didn't get any when I arrived? Did someone tell you something?"
Liu Pianran, of course, did not believe it and sneered repeatedly.
"What a joke! We don't even know you, so who said anything about you?"
"Yes, there are only seven items in total. First come, first served. With so many of us, seven items aren't enough to go around!"
Liu Pianran assumed that Ji Xia had spoken to He Qiuying and that the new model couldn't be sold to her.
But the young women who had been surrounding He Qiuying and making selections were unaware of their private feud and thought she was talking about them, so they retorted indignantly.
He Qiuying rolled her eyes at Liu Pianran and sneered, "You have so much inner drama. Does the whole world revolve around you? All the clothes are here. Buy them or don't buy them."
Liu Pianran and Lin Haodong were furious. They glared at her back and shouted, "Why do they get things when they come, but I don't?"
He Qiuying ignored her and turned to greet other customers. In this day and age, people with jobs are all arrogant, and no one is surprised by it.
Moreover, what Liu Pianran said was not reasonable in the eyes of others.
One girl scoffed, "Everything is about first come, first served. There were only seven of that style available. We were here first, and we couldn't even buy one more. Why should you, who came later, have to have one?"
Liu Hongju overheard everything and laughed as she said, "Oh dear, aren't you buying a wedding dress for your wedding banquet? Oh, you're so used to robbing people, now that you've robbed your fiancé, you have to rob the dress to make it look good?"
A customer nearby asked in surprise what was going on, and Liu Hongju smiled and explained the identities and backgrounds of the two people.
When the people around heard that they were a college student and a female educated youth, they immediately understood the identities of the two and cast disdainful glances at Liu Pianran and Lin Haodong.
Several girls who had bought dresses heard that someone spat at Liu Pianran and Lin Haodong, then turned around with a sneer and went to shop at other counters.
Her fiancé stole her away; instead of buying a bright red dress for the wedding banquet, he insisted on taking someone else's dress. He has no shame.
Even someone as thick-skinned as Liu Pianran turned pale with anger at the stares of everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative, and subconsciously tugged at Lin Haodong's sleeve in dissatisfaction.
What could Lin Haodong do? He could only suppress his anger and frowned, saying, "Let's go to that old tailor shop at the street corner and pick out a nice piece of bright red cloth to make a set."
The two arrived happily but left in a huff, only to be met with enthusiastic applause behind them.
Hearing the noise behind her, Liu Pianran turned pale with anger, but her eyes reddened, and she said in a trembling voice, "Brother Dong, my mother specially sent me a hundred yuan so that our wedding would be nicer. Look at this now?"
Lin Haodong looked displeased, but since Liu Pianran had received the remittance, he had no choice but to lower himself and coax and comfort her in a low voice.
After coaxing him for a while, he explained in a low voice, "Actually, that dress isn't quite right either. Of course, we have to buy red clothes for our wedding. I just looked at the colors they were wearing, and they weren't quite suitable."
"Besides, those women said there were only a few items, which is probably true. We arrived late, so it's not surprising that they're all gone."
I just looked at two colors, pinkish-green and light green. How do these look like wedding dresses? Even if they were in stock, let alone out of stock, Lin Haodong would still try to persuade her to give up the idea.
After all, Liu's mother only sent 100 yuan. After the banquet, how much of that 100 yuan would be left?
He still had to coax Liu Pianran to leave some money for his mother's medical treatment, medicine, and some good food!
After coaxing her for a while, Liu Pianran was persuaded and had no choice but to suppress her displeasure.
The two went to a tailor shop, picked out a piece of red cloth, and ordered a red shirt and a pair of black trousers.
She wanted to make a dress, but Lin Haodong dissuaded her. Liu Pianran wanted to stay in the countryside to take care of her mother, and she felt unsafe even wearing trousers. How could Lin Haodong let her stay in the countryside and wear a dress?
I ordered the clothes and arranged to pick them up on the fourth day.
A few days later, they went into the city to pick up their new clothes. But then, remembering that the things they had bought on the black market a few days earlier were incomplete and expensive, they turned back to the supply and marketing cooperative with long faces.
As soon as I entered the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a crowd gathered around the wardrobe counter.
This time, a girl happened to be holding up a scarlet dress on herself, asking the people around her how it looked.
Several girls gathered around and exclaimed loudly, "It's beautiful! This one is beautiful! I want one too!"
Liu Pianran was so angry that her face turned ashen. She angrily tugged at Lin Haodong's arm: "Brother Dong, look, they insisted there was nothing that day, but look why there is now?"
Lin Haodong was also furious, but considering that they had already made a set and spent the money, he shook his head at Liu Pianran: "Forget it, we've already bought it."
"I don't want to count it."
Liu Pianran angrily shook off his hand, strode up behind the group of girls, and shouted at He Qiuying, "Comrade, I want one of those red dresses too."
There were three scarlet dresses available that day, all in the hands of three girls. Upon hearing this, the three girls quickly put away their dresses and paid for them.
He Qiuying accepted their money with a half-smile, then shook her head at Liu Pianran and said, "You're too late, it's all gone."
"Gone again? You said it was gone when we came a few days ago, and you say it's gone again when we come back today. Do you still dare to say it wasn't intentional?" Liu Pianran trembled with anger.
