The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Salesperson: "Oh, okay, take a look then. These are all newly arrived items."

Looking at the dresses, Gu Hong asked Xia Qiuran first, "Xia, my niece has very fair skin, but she's not very tall. Which one do you think looks best?"

Xia Qiuran looked around and quickly picked out a pink dress with puff sleeves. "I think this dress is great. Pink will make fair skin look even fairer and more radiant. The puff sleeves are also very stylish. It makes you look graceful and gentle."

Gu Hong nodded: "Hmm, not bad, this is the dress. Xia, can you help me try it on?"

Xia Qiuran quickly came out of the dressing room after changing into her dress. Her fair skin paired with pink created a surprising effect.

With her graceful figure and pure, delicate charm, she attracted the attention of many passersby, instantly boosting the popularity of Lei Laohu's stall.

"That's really nice." Gu Hong nodded in satisfaction, then casually picked up a yellow plaid dress and compared it to Xia Qiuran's. She found that this dress also looked quite good. "This one looks pretty good too, Xia, could you help me try this one on?"

Xia Qiuran immediately replied, "Of course, Teacher Gu."

Just then, the couple walked over, and the woman pointed directly at the pink dress Xia Qiuran was wearing and said, "Comrade, we'd like to try that dress on too."

"Okay, there's another changing room over there." Lei Laohu found another garment and pointed to the other side without much thought.

Gu Hong glanced at the two people, her face full of displeasure. They really were following her closely.

A short while later, Xia Qiuran came out wearing that yellow plaid skirt, attracting the attention of many people as well.

At the same time, the woman also came out wearing that pink dress.

The woman's skin wasn't fair to begin with, and the pink dress made her skin look even darker, like a lump of coal rolled out of the mud, wrapped in a bright pink floral fabric—tacky and garish.

The difference in their heights is immediately apparent when the two stand together.

Xia Qiuran is like a bright and cheerful sunflower, eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.

The woman, on the other hand, was like a lotus root just dug out of the mud, forcibly wrapped with pink petals, both comical and jarring.

"I was originally thinking of buying the exact same pink dress here, but after seeing this, I think I'll pass."

"It turns out it wasn't the clothes that were attractive, but the person."

"Even if it looks good, you can't buy it. Did you see that? Her neck looks like a black axle. She probably hasn't showered in a long time. And the zipper area, the flesh is about to burst. This dress isn't cheap. If you happen to buy something she tried on, wouldn't that be spending money to make yourself uncomfortable?"

People around them whispered among themselves.

The woman's face flushed red and then turned pale with anger, but it wasn't very noticeable because of her skin condition.

In particular, the phrase "It's not that the clothes are nice, it's that the person is nice" kept swirling in her mind like a spell.

"Shut up! What do you country bumpkins know? Do you even know where I'm from? You bunch of ignorant bumpkins!" The woman finally couldn't take it anymore and pointed her finger at the passerby, yelling at the top of her lungs. But because her movement was too violent, a sharp "rip" was heard, and a large gash appeared at the seam of her lower back.

The woman was immediately embarrassed and hurriedly covered her lower back as she ran to the changing room, her actions comical.

Passersby couldn't help but burst into laughter, and one of the busybodies even shouted towards the changing room.

Even if you were sent from heaven, it wouldn't change the fact that you're ugly.

Everyone burst into laughter again after hearing this.

The men who came with the women stood silently to the side, as if afraid that others would notice they were together.

"I still want this yellow dress." Gu Hong glanced at the dressing room with some disdain. The pink dress was originally quite pretty, but after seeing how it looked on that woman, she wouldn't want it even if it were given to her for free.

"Okay, I'll pack it up for you right away." Lei Laohu quickly folded the clothes and put them into the packaging box.

"Let's go too. If a piece of clothing that costs over a hundred yuan doesn't look good when worn out, I'd rather buy some fabric and make it myself."

"that is."

The crowd dispersed instantly, and the counter became deserted again.

Lei Laohu flared his nostrils slightly, took a couple of deep breaths, and stared at the changing room with a fierce look in his eyes, truly resembling a tiger poised to pounce.

So many potential customers came, but this black rascal ruined everything and even ruined her dress. He just couldn't swallow this insult.

Xia Qiuran, who was about to leave, saw this scene and subconsciously swallowed. The nickname "Tiger Lei" was indeed vivid and apt.

"Here you go, the dress doesn't fit, I don't want it," the woman said, throwing the dress onto the counter.

"Wait a minute," Lei Laohu shrugged slightly, exuding an uncontrollable aura of rage. "You chased away my customers and ruined my clothes. You think you can just walk away like that? No way."

"It's your tattered clothes that are flimsy, what does that have to do with us?" the man said arrogantly, stepping forward and puffing out his chest.

Lei Lao laughed angrily. Today she had actually encountered someone even more unreasonable than herself. Interesting. Without saying any more nonsense, she immediately pressed the alarm.

This is a ringtone that should only be pressed in emergencies. Usually, when this ringtone sounds, it's either because of a fire, flood, or robbery. In any case, any of these crimes would be enough to get these two into serious trouble at the police station.

"You dare to cause trouble in a state-run store? I'm telling you, you've come to the wrong place," Lei Laohu said, glaring at him.

The state-run store's doors were quickly closed, and the police responded swiftly. Before Xia Qiuran and her companion could react, the man and woman had already been dragged away.

"We'll lose money, we'll lose money, okay?"

"We didn't mean to, please don't lock me up!" The man cried out in fear upon seeing the police.

The woman was terrified; her eyes glazed over, and her fingers twitched wildly, as if she had forgotten to beg for mercy.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." Gu Hong shook her head and led Xia Qiuran out of the store. "Xia, thank you for helping me choose a dress today. I'll buy some good food and invite you to my house for dinner another day."

"Teacher Gu, you're too kind. It's nothing at all," Xia Qiuran quickly declined.

"It's a small favor for you, but it's a huge help to me. Okay, it's settled then."

"Okay, thank you in advance, Teacher Gu."

Gu Hong insisted, so Xia Qiuran had no choice but to agree. After saying goodbye, Xia Qiuran quickly ran back to her stall, only to see that Aunt Lü was about to pack up.

"Sister Lü, I'm back." Xia Qiuran ran back apologetically after leaving Sister Lü alone at the stall all day.

"You're back! Is Auntie alright now? Why didn't you stay at the hospital a little longer? Don't worry, I'm here for you." Aunt Lu replied with a radiant smile, a stark contrast to the worried look on his face that morning.

Confused by Aunt Lü's drastic change, Xia Qiuran glanced at her uneasily and asked, "Aunt Lü, did you find some money?"
