1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 40 Being Bullied
"Qingqing, this way."

After getting off the car, Chen Hongxia took Gu Qingwu's hand and prepared to go to the grocery store first. After all, they had to buy meat first, otherwise they would definitely not be able to buy meat.

Gu Qingwu didn’t know much about these things, but she knew that she just needed to be obedient.

So, the two of them went to the grocery store hand in hand. When they got there, Gu Qingwu and Chen Hongxia each took out their meat coupons and money. Gu Qingwu bought a few pounds of pork belly, a few ribs, and finally a pair of offal.

Chen Hongxia didn't know why Gu Qingwu bought bones and offal, but she didn't say anything.

She bought pork belly. Fortunately, they both came early, otherwise, she would have forgotten about the pork belly. As for the fat meat, don't joke, it's not good at all.

There is no chance of using lard because there is none available.

After buying the meat, Chen Hongxia and Gu Qingwu prepared to go to the department store.

When they arrived at the department store, the two separated. Gu Qingwu went to buy wool first. The weather was getting colder, and there were many people buying wool.

Chen Hongxia went to buy cloth. There was no other way, as she had children at home. If she didn't buy cloth, what would the children wear?

Gu Qingwu found the counter selling wool and frowned when she saw that there were only a few colors of wool in the counter.

"Please give me two kilograms of gray yarn and two kilograms of green yarn."

Although she disliked the limited colors of wool, Gu Qingwu did not refuse to buy them. There were no bright red and light yellow colors, and there were not many white ones. Some people who were skillful liked to buy white wool and take it home to dye it, but Gu Qingwu didn't know how to do it, but she was just too lazy to bother.

"No."

After the salesperson looked Gu Qingwu up and down, he directly refused.

"No, what's on the counter?"

Gu Qingwu was so angry that she laughed. She only said she bought them after she saw the two kinds of wool on the counter. So, did this person think she was easy to bully?

Is she encountering a plot from a novel?

“That was ordered by someone else.”

The woman spoke without even looking at Gu Qingwu.

"Did the man give the money?"

Gu Qingwu asked in a cold voice. When the salesperson heard this, he stood up immediately.

"You poor bastard, I've already told you that this was decided by someone else, why are you still complaining?"

The salesperson's words made Gu Qingwu's face darken.

"How can you talk like that? You are a salesperson, serving the public. Why do you have to classify people? Is it just empty talk when great men say that everyone is equal?"

As soon as Gu Qingwu said this, the salesperson's face changed suddenly.

"Who gave you this attitude of looking down on ordinary people? Capitalists will smile when doing business. How come you, a salesman, are superior to others? Are you more powerful than the capitalists? Do you have the final say in the country? Have you reclassified the classes?"

Gu Qingwu doesn't care whether the other party changes her expression or not. It's okay if you don't smile at her when she buys something. Anyway, that's the status of a salesperson in this era. But if you have an attitude that makes you look like you've been shot, she will just let it go. Dream on.

"you……?"

The saleswoman's expression turned even worse. Her face turned pale and if her hands hadn't been on the counter, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Can you say these things casually? And these words were said to her. If people knew about it, she would be finished. "What's wrong with me? I came here to buy things. Just tell me whether the department store is a building that ordinary people can come to. If you say that ordinary people can't come, then I will never come here in my life."

Gu Qingwu didn't want to give in at all. Facing such a fool, if she didn't teach him a lesson, she didn't know how angry he would be next time she came to buy things for him.

She would not wrong herself.

"Comrade, comrade, I asked her to apologize to you."

At this time, the manager of the department store came over and glared at the saleswoman.

"hehe."

Gu Qingwu looked at the manager with a smile on her face. When the manager saw the look on Gu Qingwu's face, he knew that this matter would not be so easily resolved.

"Comrade, we will deal with this saleswoman seriously. I feel sorry for her words and actions. It is our poor supervision. Don't worry, the same thing will never happen again in the future."

What could the manager do? He could only comfort Gu Qingwu first.

"I wanted to ask why the item was placed here. I asked her to buy it, but she said it was sold out and someone else had reserved it. I asked if she had paid the deposit, and she mocked me for being poor. Why can't I, a commoner, come to buy things from you? Did I not pay for the items, or did my words and actions make me poor?"

Gu Qingwu looked at the saleswoman with cold eyes. As for the manager, he glared at the saleswoman again.

This woman has always been looking for trouble. She must have hit a wall this time. He had criticized her attitude before, but she didn't take it to heart. Besides, the people she had provoked in the past were all from the countryside. Who would have thought that this time she would provoked such a difficult character.

"what happened?"

The manager didn't know about these things at first. After hearing what Gu Qingwu said, he realized what had happened and his face became even darker.

"that……?"

After the saleswoman said that, she couldn't say anything else.

"Haha, I can see it now. It's obvious that she doesn't like me. Is it because I'm good-looking that she doesn't like me?"

Gu Qingwu was so angry that she laughed again. The female salesperson didn't dare to confront their leader, and she was blaming her and glaring at her. If looks couldn't kill, she would have wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes.

"you……?"

The saleswoman was about to curse when the manager quickly stopped her.

"Comrade, no matter what the reason is, today's incident was caused by our salesperson. I will get it for you if you want to buy it."

The manager was so angry that he wanted to drive the woman away, but he also knew that if today's matter was not handled properly, something serious would happen.

Didn’t you see that he was speaking in an orderly manner?
It's easy to imagine that this person just looks like an ordinary country guy, but did that idiot ignore the other person's skin?

The other person looked good, and his clothes only had a few patches on them, but it looked like those patches were intentionally put on. He didn't know the other person's identity, but he knew one thing, that is, the other person's identity should be not simple.

"hehe."

This guy has no sincerity in his apology.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?"

Chen Hongxia came over when she heard the noise. She saw Gu Qingwu confronting the saleswoman and the person who was obviously the leader. Her face suddenly turned ugly. This person followed her out. Was he being bullied?
