Chapter 86: A Famous Beauty in the Countryside
Who would come so late?
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Walking over and opening the gate, he was stunned to see Aunt Wang standing outside. "Aunt Wang, what brings you here so late?"
Aunt Wang gave her an embarrassed look and said, "Xiaoxiao, I heard that the department store will receive a batch of stainless steel water cups and flashlights tomorrow, but the quantity of each will be small. I wanted to confirm whether the items I ordered are all right?"
Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, a disdainful snort came from behind Aunt Wang: "My daughter said that the flashlights and stainless steel water cups that will arrive in the department store tomorrow have already been reserved by internal employees. There is no place for ordinary people like us. I think some people are just trying to show off their wealth."
Su Xiaoxiao knew who was making this annoying voice without even looking.
Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw Li Huilan standing behind Aunt Wang.
Li Huilan said sarcastically, "I heard that this batch of new employees don't even have the chance to work at the counter, let alone help with shopping."
Aunt Wang's expression became even more nervous when she heard her say this: "Xiaoxiao, those flashlights and stainless steel water cups are what my daughter-in-law who hasn't married yet wants. You must help me find a way. If you can't, I'll give you some extra money."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "Aunt Wang, you found it, no need to add money, I will definitely bring you the stainless steel water cup and flashlight tomorrow."
Li Huilan rolled her eyes in disdain. "Everyone can brag. Don't let them be happy for nothing by tomorrow when you can't get the things back."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. This Li Huilan was just like his daughter Zhang Dongmei, so annoying.
"How do you know I can't get it? Isn't tomorrow not here yet?"
Li Huilan's face was filled with disdain when she heard this. "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. My daughter said that even the old employees might not be able to get it. How can you, a new employee, have such great ability?"
"I advise you to give in as soon as possible. Maybe my daughter will show mercy and let you go. After all, with your family's financial situation, if you take out 200 yuan, you will probably go bankrupt."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wang beside her suddenly sniffed: "What's that smell? It smells so good, like meat buns."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what delicious food do you have for dinner tonight? It smells so good."
Without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to answer, Li Huilan spoke first.
"What good food can her family have? They can't even afford to eat enough sorghum bread and pickles every day."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to her. She just smiled and looked at Aunt Wang: "Aunt, didn't I go to the department store to work today? On my way back, I bought some meat buns to celebrate."
When Aunt Wang heard about meat buns, her mouth was watering.
These past two days, the little grandson has been clamoring for meat buns, but her family’s meat coupons have long been used up.
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoxiao, can I negotiate with you and exchange two eggs for a meat bun?"
These days, eggs are as precious as meat. A meat bun costs one cent, and an egg costs seven cents. In the end, she still gets the upper hand.
"Okay, Auntie, wait a moment, I'll get you some meat buns."
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went into the house, and quickly brought out a steaming meat bun.
Li Huilan looked at the soft and steaming meat buns and swallowed uncontrollably. The Su family was notoriously poor, but now they could even afford to eat white flour meat buns?
Why is she so unconvinced?
Su Xiaoxiao put the meat bun in Aunt Wang's hand, and Aunt Wang immediately thanked her repeatedly: "Xiaoxiao, wait for me for a moment, I'll go back to get the eggs and be back soon."
After Aunt Wang left, Li Huilan looked at Su Xiaoxiao with even more disdain: "How can your family afford meat buns when they're so poor? Could it be that one of your lovers gave them to you?"
At this point, she looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down with even more contempt: "At such a young age, you only know how to sell your body for food. How shameless! Unlike my Dongmei, who is honest and decent."
As soon as Li Huilan finished speaking, a basin of dirty water was poured directly over her head and face.
Liu Cuilan threw the basin in her hand to the ground, and the loud noise scared the two of them.
She put her hands on her hips and said, "Shut your stinky mouth. Is that what your Dongmei does? It's obvious that people look down on her because she's ugly. My daughter is nothing like her, who is beautiful and has been a famous beauty in the area since she was a child."
There was no exaggeration in Liu Cuilan's words. She was beautiful when she was young and was a famous beauty in the village.
Su Xiaoxiao inherited her beauty completely, and at a young age, many little boys chased after her, insisting on making her their wife.
"You shameless old whore, how dare you splash me?"
Li Huilan widened her eyes and rushed forward to slap Liu Cuilan.
Her eyes were red with new and old grudges.
Since she was young, she was not as pretty as Liu Cuilan, and later Liu Cuilan married the village chief she liked first.
Although she married into the city, she was looked down upon by her in-laws and abused by her husband because she gave birth to two daughters in succession.
If her husband had not died of alcoholism and she had not remarried a good man, she would probably have been dominated by Liu Cuilan for the rest of her life.
Before my hand could touch anyone, a slender little hand grabbed my wrist.
While Li Huilan was stunned, Su Xiaoxiao slapped her in the face.
You can bully her, but you can't bully her mother.
Li Huilan was stunned. She didn't expect that even this damn girl would dare to attack her.
But she couldn't win against two people at one.
Seeing Liu Cuilan picking up a nearby bamboo knot, she took a step back and shouted, "Well, you little whore, how dare you hit me? Do you know who my son-in-law is? He's the battalion commander of the army. When my daughter becomes the battalion commander's wife, I will let my son-in-law give you a good beating."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Didn’t Zhou Cheng break up with Zhang Dongmei?
Moreover, he wrote to her every now and then, sent her money, tickets and things, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Could it be that this scumbag is still greedy for more?
I didn't realize that the man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a righteous face was actually such a person?
Su Xiaoxiao's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
Seeing her like this, Li Huilan thought that she was frightened by her words and became even more proud.
"Our Dongmei's boyfriend is not only good-looking but also a battalion commander. He has nothing to say about our Dongmei and sends her things every now and then. There's nothing we can do about it. He's not as superficial as some people. He just likes my daughter's personality and talent."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, someone suddenly rushed out from the side and grabbed Li Huilan's wrist.
