Chapter 179 Stocking Up for the New Year
Today, Lin Yuyao took a day off and went to a newly opened department store nearby by herself.
Perhaps because it's almost Chinese New Year and it's newly opened with a wide variety of goods, it has attracted many customers.
A salesperson has to deal with many customers, helping them carry goods, collect money, and answer their questions.
From being extremely busy, to being so busy that his face turned red, and then to swearing at customers with a long face.
"Buy it if you want, otherwise don't block the way."
"Why wouldn't I buy them? I'm just asking if the soles of these shoes are prone to damage?"
"It's prone to breaking, don't buy it."
"Hey, why are you talking like that?"
"I'm just saying this, are you going to buy it or not?"
guest:"……"
"Make way, next one."
"Give me two pairs, one size 38 and one size 42."
"Color?" The salesperson asked rudely, her face contorted with impatience, as if she had been owed money.
The man hesitated for a moment, and then the salesperson started cursing again.
Tell him to think it over before he comes, and not to block the people behind him.
The next person came up, quickly told her the size and color, and took the money in his hand, so she didn't even need to give him change.
The sales clerk's expression softened.
Lin Yuyao thought to herself, "It's really easy to run a physical store right now."
As long as you can get the goods, you won't have to worry about selling them.
In this day and age, those who dare to be bold have all made a fortune.
This generation marks a watershed moment in terms of social stratification.
They've made a fortune, and their children will be the next generation of rich kids.
When their children grow up, it becomes even more difficult for them to cross social classes. Except for a few lucky ones, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to cross over.
Therefore, she must work hard enough to ensure that her child reaches a higher level.
Speaking of children, she thought of her daughter again.
She used to call her an ingrate, but now she doesn't resent her anymore.
Young children are closer to whoever takes care of them.
People of that age are more pragmatic; they'll befriend whoever is beneficial to them.
She wasn't necessarily close to Lu Jiangting, after all, Lu Jiangting hadn't been very good to her. When she was little, she even fought with Wang Chenchen over their father's love.
She's a girl, and so much younger than him, she couldn't possibly beat him.
But she still rushed forward angrily, and even after her head was broken, she didn't cry out. She just looked at Lu Jiangting with wet eyes, hoping that her father could stand up for her.
Unfortunately... she was disappointed.
Lu Jiangting told her that she couldn't take advantage of having a father to bully Wang Chen just because she didn't have one.
She understood why she was close to Lu Jiangting, who could bring her resources and status.
What Lin Yuyao couldn't understand was that she clearly hated Fang Qing and her son to the core and looked down on Wang Chen, who had accomplished nothing.
But why did she later accept Lu Jiangting's matchmaking and choose to marry Wang Chen?
Before she knew it, she had already walked around the area and had a pretty good idea of what was mainly sold there.
She had seen several electric blanket vendors, but she didn't know whether Fu Huaiyi bought it in the old street or in the newly opened department store.
She asked two stores at random, and neither of them had a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
Maybe not here. Let's ask him again later.
Lin Yuyao bought other things, including a set of clothes for each of her parents. Passing by a watch shop, she remembered that her mother always complained about how inconvenient it was to tell the time, so she bought a watch as well.
Big cities are different; you can even find watches that don't require a ticket, though they're a bit more expensive.
Three hundred yuan isn't too expensive, is it? In this day and age, it's not that much.
Her father already has a watch, so there's no need to buy him one.
I turned around and went to another shop, where I bought him a razor set.
As for food, she bought some White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk powder, canned food, and so on.
The bag was full of things and cost a lot of money, but she felt it was worth it.
This is her first year working away from home, so of course she wants to return with a full harvest.
When they were carrying the things back, they ran into Pan Xiaohua.
She seemed to have something to say to her, but seeing how much she was carrying, she swallowed back the words she was about to say and instead helped her.
"Let me help you."
Lin Yuyao said, "No need, I can carry it up myself."
"It's okay, I'll help you." She immediately took over and carried Lin Yuyao's large bag of things.
The people in the north are taller and stronger, and when they get enthusiastic, Lin Yuyao can't compete with them.
I could only let her help carry the things upstairs.
“Miss Pan, please tell me what's on your mind. I'm afraid I can't help with Sister Leyi's matter; I can only listen.”
Locals in the southern part of the city call young girls "girl".
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and Lin Yuyao got used to calling him that too.
She guessed that Pan Xiaohua wanted to see her for something, and since she had already said the unpleasant things beforehand, she figured it wouldn't hurt to listen to her.
Pan Xiaohua seemed a little uneasy; the other person's words were so clear.
However, apart from Lin Yuyao who lived upstairs, she really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"You say it depends on the situation."
"You...you should be able to meet my second sister-in-law, right? Could you take me to see her?"
This is truly a bold idea; it's daring to think and speak.
Lin Yuyao gently shook her head, "I'm afraid not. I'm just a small shop assistant in the bookstore. I can't bother the boss unless she summons me."
“But you and Fu Huaiyi have a very close relationship. You’re not just an ordinary shop assistant. If you marry Fu Huaiyi in the future, you’ll still be a relative of hers.”
Lin Yuyao: “…”
“Miss Pan, you can’t just say things like that. It’s not even close to being settled yet. They don’t even know me. If I go to their door, they’ll find it all very strange.”
This girl isn't stupid; her words are quite clear.
Fu Leyi's family is unaware of her existence, and they won't give her any face.
“If I ask you to go, you’ll definitely get beaten up by Leyi’s parents, and you might even lose your job.”
Pan Xiaohua naturally understood the meaning behind the words.
She nodded, then sighed with a forlorn expression.
"The Lunar New Year is almost here, what are we going to do? We can't just let them spend the New Year in the police station, can we?"
"What can't you do?"
Pan Xiaohua choked.
I suddenly found myself speechless.
Yes, why not?
“If you do something wrong, you have to be punished. They stole from their own flesh and blood, so they probably won’t stay in jail for long. But if they stole from strangers, they’ll go to jail, not just be detained.”
Although it was unpleasant to hear, Pan Xiaohua secretly agreed with it.
Her mother is uneducated, and her sister-in-law is greedy and uneducated. They want to seize other people's property in such an outrageous way, and that's already bad enough.
What she couldn't understand was that her second brother was also fooling around with them.
My second brother at least went to university. That's his wife, his own daughter. How could he be so foolish?
"Sigh!" Pan Xiaohua sighed and said, "They have only themselves to blame, but... but... what's done is done, it has to be resolved, right? We can't just keep avoiding it. There has to be some explanation."
