Chapter 38 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
Chapter 38 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
“It really is a dog.” After listening to Jiang He’s description of what happened that morning, Sister Wang said, “When you encounter a dog like this, you have to throw stones at it, hit it with a stick, and be ruthless. Once it feels pain, it will remember to stay away from you next time. Otherwise, it will bite you whenever it gets the chance.”
"Sister Wang, I remember now, beat a dog when it's down." Jiang He felt that Sister Wang was truly a life mentor; this was a wise saying.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu were asking at each counter if anyone wanted tickets.
They bought a defective product and are still nitpicking over it.
If you're so picky, then don't buy defective products.
“This cup of yours is chipped, isn’t it broken? Can you give me a discount?” Zhao Xiu said, pointing to a small chip on the rim of the enamel cup.
"At this price, buy it if you want, or leave it at that."
The saleswoman wouldn't give her that attitude; if she didn't buy anything, she could relax.
If you don't have money, why come to the supply and marketing cooperative? Don't bother buying an enamel mug; just grab a gourd ladle to drink water.
In the end, I bought an enamel mug.
The two strolled over to Jiang He's counter.
The two seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened in the morning, and walked straight up to Jiang He.
"Comrade Jiang, you're selling cloth here? Do you have any that don't require coupons?"
Jiang He remained silent, watching the two with a half-smile.
"Comrade Jiang, we're talking to you, why aren't you responding?"
Jiang He grabbed another handful of sunflower seeds for Sister Wang and then sat down to eat them herself.
"Comrade Jiang, is this how you treat a sales clerk? We come to buy things, and you just ignore us like this? I'm going to report you to the director."
Jiang He spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells onto the ground without even glancing at them.
Seeing that Jiang He was unyielding, Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu, who had already endured countless glares from the sales clerks while buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative, were unwilling to put up with it any longer.
He rushed straight to the office of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Who are you? Barging in like this, don't you know where you are?"
The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was extremely rude to see these two barging in without knocking.
"Director, we are educated youth from Dayang Brigade, and we want to report this."
If someone comes to report something, he, as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, always has to make a trip there.
"Director, it's her. We came to buy something, but she won't sell it to us."
Zhao Xiu pointed at Jiang He and shouted loudly.
The director is here; today we're going to make sure Jiang He loses his job.
Isn't she just taking advantage of the fact that she has a job?
Zhao Xiu is a high school student; she's definitely more capable of doing this job than her.
Zhao Xiu had already imagined that she would become a sales clerk and be able to take things from the supply and marketing cooperative every day. It was a lucrative and comfortable job.
The director looked at Jiang He, then at Sister Wang.
Yu Gongjiang has never made a mistake since he started working at the supply and marketing cooperative. He is conscientious in his work and never takes leave. He is a good employee.
Privately, Sister Wang is her sister-in-law, and Jiang He and her sister-in-law are very close friends.
The director simply couldn't believe that the person being reported was Jiang He.
"Comrade Jiang He, tell me what happened? They just came to my office and said they were reporting you for not selling them anything."
"Director, I don't know why they're reporting me for no reason. I'm a sales clerk here. When customers come with money and tickets to buy things, why shouldn't I sell them?" Jiang He stood up, looking completely innocent.
“You’re abusing your power for personal gain. You just hate what happened this morning, that’s why you’re deliberately refusing to sell us anything,” Zhao Xiu exposed.
"Morning? What's going on this morning? Why would I hate you?" Jiang He retorted.
“This morning, I stopped your bicycle, which caused you to get hit, so you're holding a grudge.”
"Ah, so you were the one who stopped my bicycle this morning and caused me to get hit? Why did you do that this morning? My third brother isn't very good at riding a bicycle. Suddenly someone ran up in front of him, and he was so scared that he braked suddenly. I hit him on the forehead, and I was completely stunned."
"I was afraid of being late this morning, so I didn't look closely. Oh, it's you guys!" Jiang He said with a sudden realization.
"What are you pretending for? Didn't you know about us this morning? We just wanted you to help us bring some things, and if you didn't want to help, fine, but you're still cursing at us."
Zhao Xiu was furious at Jiang He's pretentious act.
"Comrade, you are very rude. We don't know each other. Even if we did meet this morning, it's normal that I don't remember you two."
And you want me to help you carry things, but we don't even know each other. Why would you need me to carry things for you? What do you want me to carry for you?
If I really did curse at you this morning, it was because I was stunned by the accident and blurted out a few words in a moment of panic.
"How could you not recognize us? We are educated youth from Dayang Brigade, and you are also from Dayang Brigade. How could you not recognize us?"
Zhao Xiu thought Jiang He was just talking nonsense.
"So you are the new educated youth who arrived two days ago. The brigade leader is considerate of you and gave you time to rest and tidy up. He did not ask you to go to the fields. I think many people in Dayang Brigade do not know the new educated youth yet."
I work at the supply and marketing cooperative from early morning to late at night, so it's normal that I don't know you guys.
"Comrade Jiang, you're really sharp-tongued. We just wanted to ask you to help us bring some things, so why are you making such a fuss?"
Seeing his sister speechless, Zhao Guangming stepped forward.
"You haven't even started work, so why are you asking me to carry things for you? Are you asking me to carry these things you bought?"
Jiang He looked at the hands of Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu.
The two of them went around to each counter, trying to grab any bargains they could find, and their hands were always full.
Those who saw it shook their heads. These two wanted to buy so many things and even asked a little girl for help. How could a little girl possibly carry them all?
Moreover, these two clearly had time on their own, yet they insisted on having the young girl bring it.
After all, buying so many things involves a considerable amount of money and tickets. If these are lost or missing, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
They would definitely prefer to buy it themselves rather than let someone else handle the money.
I wouldn't go to the trouble of asking someone for such a big favor.
The Dayang Brigade isn't too far away, only an hour or two's walk.
“Yes, you work at the supply and marketing cooperative, so it’s just a favor for you to help us. This way we don’t have to make a special trip. We have to start work tomorrow, so we can have a good rest today.”
Zhao Xiu said matter-of-factly that was exactly what they had been thinking.
"Now that you've come to buy it yourselves, there's nothing more to say. You said I wouldn't sell you anything, so tell me what you want to buy?"
“You sell fabric here, so of course we want to buy fabric.”
"What kind of fabric do you want, and how much? As long as you give me the corresponding amount of money and tickets, I will give you the fabric."
Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu didn't have any cloth coupons; they just wanted some flawed cloth.
