In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Wang.
"Please make way. I want to go over and take a look."
Chen Wang said to the person in front with a smile.
The customers cooperated and made way to the sides. Chen Wang walked to the counter with his wife and the little girl.
"Please take out this watch so I can see it."
"OK,"
The clerk smiled and nodded, took out the watch from the counter and handed it to Chen Wang carefully.
"Hey, young man, stop being so pretentious. Do you know how much this watch costs?"
The man next to him started yelling with an ugly look on his face.
Chen Wang ignored him, put the watch on his left wrist, looked at his wife beside him and asked, "How is it?"
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a gentle smile.
"Brother, this looks great. You look very handsome in it."
The little girl also praised with a smile.
"I'm talking to you!"
The man had a gloomy face and shouted angrily.
"Stop barking, I don't understand."
Chen Wang didn't even bother to look at him.
“Puff.”
"Hahaha……"
When the customers around heard this, they all burst into laughter.
Hearing the laughter all around, the man felt like a clown. His face turned red, his fists clenched, and his whole body was shaking.
"How much is this watch?"
Chen Wang asked the clerk.
"Hello, the price is 120 yuan, and you need a watch ticket."
The clerk answered hurriedly.
"It's not that expensive. I'll take it."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? I want this watch."
Chen Wang smiled and reached into his pocket to feel for money and bills.
"Boy, what are you bragging about..."
The man stopped talking before he could finish his words. His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the handful of coins that Chen Wang grabbed from his trouser pocket.
In his impression, this is just a poor little place.
It was because he had had enough of the poor life that he resolutely went south to Shanghai to make a living.
When he first arrived in Shanghai, he only had a few cents left in his hand. The prices there were so high that he couldn't even afford a meal.
After going through a lot of hardships and finally making some money, he returned to his hometown and began to feel proud amidst the flattery from his relatives and friends. He thought everything in this place was poor and rustic.
In fact, he only had a few hundred yuan in savings.
I came to the city to buy a watch so that I can show it off during the New Year. But I didn't expect that watches here are more expensive than those in Shanghai.
He felt that he just didn't want to be a sucker, which was much better than these poor people who could only look but not buy.
Then suddenly this young man jumped out and slapped him in the face, and actually took out so much money.
No, in this poor countryside place, who would spend so much money to buy a watch?
"Here, the money and the ticket, take a look."
Chen Wang counted out 12 Great Unity tickets and handed them to the clerk along with the watch ticket.
He had more than 100 yuan in his hand, and the rest of the money was with his wife.
"No problem, thank you."
After checking that the money and tickets were fine, the clerk smiled and thanked Chen Wang.
After being bullied for no reason, he finally got rid of his anger and was very grateful to Chen Wang.
"Let me pack up your watch!"
"No, I'll just wear it."
Chen Wang waved his hand.
"Then I'll give you the package."
“No need for that.”
The watch cost just over a hundred dollars, and he bought it mainly for telling time.
It's not a high-end watch that will appreciate in value in the future. I'm not planning on selling it later, so the packaging is naturally useless and it just takes up space.
He thought so himself, but he didn't know that this attitude was seen as a truly rich man by the people around him.
Even the man who had been shouting just now looked at him differently. His expression changed and he didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that he had really hit a wall.
Only then did he realize that this was the city center after all, not his rural area, and there were still rich and powerful people here.
The customers looked at Chen Wang and the other two with disdainful eyes as they left, and the conversation began.
"This is what a real rich person is like, unlike some people!"
"They just buy things worth more than a hundred yuan. I guess they are definitely a family worth ten thousand yuan."
"I think they are dressed very ordinary!"
"What do you know? Really rich people are very down-to-earth. Only fake ones think they are superior."
"It's only in recent years that the atmosphere has changed. In previous years, people like this would have been arrested and criticized. Isn't the little money in their pockets earned from speculation?"
"My family has been farmers for three generations and it is the most glorious thing. Who can I look down on just because I have a little money?"
"You can't say that. The higher-ups have said that they encourage everyone to get rich and live a well-off life!"
…
Hearing these words around him, the man's face turned red with anxiety and he fled away.
"Awang!"
Chen Dazhuang walked over with a TV in his arms, smiling.
"Have you bought it?"
"Well, what about you?"
"look!"
Chen Wang raised his wrist and showed her his newly bought watch.
"Fuck, that's so cool!"
Chen Dazhuang's eyes lit up. He walked closer and looked at it carefully, praising it with a click of the tongue: "It's really handsome. What brand is this?"
"Shanghai brand, if you want one, just buy one, it's just over a hundred."
"Forget it, let's not buy it for now. We still have to build a house after the New Year. It's enough for you to have it. In the future, we will know the time when we go hunting in the mountains, which is much more convenient!"
