Chapter 18 Robber

Wen Ci walked into the mall. The mall had just opened, and the shop assistants were all busy with their work in an orderly manner. She passed by a clothing store.

Wen Ci stopped and stood outside the shop window. She immediately took a liking to a dark turtleneck sweater worn on a mannequin. The style looked extremely fashionable for that era.

You can buy it for Huo Jingyuan.

Wen Ci walked into the store and saw that each sweater had a clearly marked price tag. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

The price of each wool sweater is generally over one hundred yuan.

In those days, the average wage was only a few dozen yuan, and Huo Jingyuan's monthly salary subsidy was only fifty-four yuan. A wool sweater was equivalent to two months' salary for him.

Wen Ci thought about it carefully. The 1980s were a golden age for making money, and making money should be put on the agenda, otherwise he would regret it.

Wen Ci asked, "Can you give me a discount on this wool sweater?"

"Our genuine Shan Hai brand wool sweater is a genuine state-owned enterprise product. We are the only exclusive store in the entire Northwest, and we don't offer discounts."

Wen Ci: "..."

The waiter in front of me was dressed smartly, but he spoke with a tone that seemed to secretly look down on me.

Wen Ci raised her hand and flicked her hair, subtly revealing the gold bracelet on her wrist. She smiled faintly and said, "Really, can't you lower the price? I'll buy two at once."

I bought one for Huo Jingyuan, so I need one for myself too.

The shop assistant glanced at the gold bracelet on Wen Ci's wrist, carefully looking her up and down. Her clothes were simple, but she seemed surprisingly wealthy. A smile appeared on her face.

"Miss, if you want two wool sweaters, I'll give you a ten-dollar discount. Is that alright?"

"Ten yuan cheaper per piece?"

"OK."

Wen Ci did some mental calculations and managed to cut the price down by twenty yuan. She was satisfied: "Please get me this dark-colored wool sweater first, and then I'll pick out another one..." Wen Ci's gaze swept over the other turtleneck sweaters, and she chose a light pink one. She went to the fitting room to try it on, and the pink color made her skin look even whiter and smoother.

Standing in front of the mirror, Wen Ci was extremely satisfied.

Wen Ci asked, "Since my husband isn't here, can I exchange it if the size is too small?"

"As long as the license plate isn't removed, you can return or exchange it anytime."

Wen Ci took out two hundred-yuan bills from her dowry and handed them to the clerk. After receiving twenty yuan in change, she happily carried the bag and left the wool sweater store.

They bought a lot of things according to the list given by Huo Jingyuan.

Wen Ci paid a worker to help her carry it to the entrance of the guesthouse. She also bought a box of instant noodles in case of emergency. After paying, she said, "Uncle, please carry it to the entrance of the guesthouse for me. Just don't block the entrance."

"I will definitely handle it for you thoroughly."

Wen Ci accompanied him throughout, after all, these things cost quite a bit of money.

Suddenly, Wen Ci heard someone shouting breathlessly, "Robbery! That person stole my things! Nobody's here to help!"

All eyes turned to the sound.

The fleeing robber held a sharp blade in his left hand, stained with blood, and a bulging leather bag in his right.

People retreated upon seeing the knife in his hand.

These days, robbers are extremely arrogant, and they can even kill people. Everyone thinks it's better to avoid trouble and stay away from them.

Seeing the robber running towards him, Wen Ci calmly walked to the side of the road, stretched out his foot, and deliberately tripped the robber.

The robber fell to the ground, and his purse was thrown out of his handbag.
