Chapter 123
A little while later, two or three more women came in and said as soon as they entered, "Miss Ji, I heard you sell trousers here?"
Ji Wanmei turned her head and smiled as she stepped forward, replying, "Yes, the ladies here to buy things too."
"We want ten each!" Among those aunties, the one in the lead immediately ordered ten.
Ji Wanmei was stunned for a moment.
Luo Chunyan watched for a while, then quickly pulled Ji Wanmei aside and whispered, "Meimei, I've seen these aunties before. They run the general store on the street ahead. They came to our store and asked for ten pairs of leggings. I don't think they have any good intentions."
Ji Wanmei thought to herself, "So that's how it is."
She smiled slightly and patted Luo Chunyan's hand: "Don't worry, I have a plan."
When she got to the group of women, Ji Wanmei said, "I'm sorry, ladies, you're late. Our twill pants are almost sold out."
"More customers may come later, so we have limited the quantity. Each person can only buy one."
"Otherwise, if you buy up all our inventory in one go, what will other customers buy? You tell me, right?"
Ji Wanmei's attitude was gentle and smiling; she could be described as polite.
But when the auntie heard this, her face immediately turned ugly. She snorted, "What rule? Why wasn't this rule in place when other people came to buy, but it was in place when we came to buy? I think you're deliberately targeting us!"
"Then please tell me, Auntie, if each of you buys ten pairs, will you be able to wear them all?" Ji Wanmei asked with a smile.
"What business is it of yours whether we have enough clothes to wear! Is this how you do business? Customers come in to buy things, and you don't sell them to them?" The woman deliberately raised her voice and shouted when she saw people in the shop looking in their direction.
Ji Wanmei originally wanted to speak politely, but these women were clearly there to cause trouble on purpose, so her smile faded, and she put her hands in front of her chest and said, "I've never heard of someone who owns a general store going to other people's general stores to buy things. And they specifically buy other people's popular new products, buying thirty of them at a time."
"Excuse me, ladies, are you here to buy things, or are you here to buy more goods?"
When Ji Wanmei exposed their identities and purposes, the women's faces turned pale and then red.
But he still had to pretend to be calm. As long as he didn't admit it, no matter what Ji Wanmei said, it was nothing like that.
At that moment, the burly woman with a large head said, "It's true that we run a shop. But we don't sell any of these things here! We just heard that you have some fresh goods and wanted some for ourselves. Don't make false accusations. What do you mean by 'buying goods'? You sell them so expensively, why would we buy from you? It's not like we're doing this for no reason!"
Ji Wanmei was so angry at these unreasonable women that she almost laughed.
"If you think my prices are too high, then please go to the city or another city to buy them. Our place is too small to accommodate such a high-spending customer as you."
Luo Chunyan didn't have Ji Wanmei's patience; there was no point in reasoning with these shrewish women.
With her hands on her hips, she strode forward and glared at him angrily, shouting, "Wow, what a sight! Pants that cost five yuan a pair in the city are only two yuan and ten cents a pair here on sale! You say you think they're too expensive, but your actions speak louder than words. You really dare to ask for thirty pairs right away?"
"Thirty items, you're planning to take them back to your own shop and secretly resell them to your regular customers at a higher price, right? Don't think we don't know what you're up to."
"Hehehe, if you really dare to want thirty, fine! I can sell them to you. At the original price of five yuan each, that's one hundred and fifty yuan. Here you go, cash on delivery."
Luo Chunyan was so aggressive and loud that the neighbors all around could hear her.
The elderly women were ashamed and speechless, unable to refute the argument, and it was impossible for them to actually spend 150 yuan to buy 30 pairs of pants.
But I'm not willing to just let it go like this.
After all, once Ji Wanmei's shop opened, it took away a lot of business from the surrounding general stores.
These people originally intended to sabotage their business. Even if they didn't get the cheap pants, driving away some of their customers would be considered achieving their goal.
Just then, a group of men dressed like gangsters suddenly appeared across the street, seven or eight of them walking straight towards them.
"Move aside, don't block the way."
Without any hesitation, the men pushed the middle-aged women aside.
When the women saw the group of menacing thugs, they dared not utter a sound and quickly retreated to the side.
"What are you looking at? Trying to cause trouble!" A gruff man turned around, stared at the woman who was looking for trouble, and shouted in a vicious voice.
The women trembled at the shout, turned around in fear, and slunk away.
He thought to himself, "It's no wonder Ji Wanmei and the others are so unlucky. A group of thugs came looking for trouble. They don't even need to cause any damage; their business will definitely be ruined."
As he left, he was still cursing at Luo Chunyan.
Seeing that they still dared to curse, Luo Chunyan was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and chased after them: "You shameless old hags, stop right there if you dare!"
Ji Wanmei said, "Forget it, Chunyan. We'll be seeing each other all the time, so don't make your faces too stiff."
At this moment, the group of thugs suddenly dropped their previous nonchalant attitude and stood in front of Ji Wanmei, obediently greeting her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
