1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1793 Why pretend to be a big shot when you have no money?

Hearing Fu Yancheng's words, Chu Xue waved her hand and said, "I already have a lot of clothes, and I basically have all the styles over there. I'll just buy more when new styles come out."

Fu Yancheng was about to say a few more words of advice when he looked up and saw a saleswoman hanging up new merchandise not far away. He pulled Chuxue over and said, "Wool skirt, you really don't have this one."

After saying that, he stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, could you please get one of these woolen long skirts for my wife to try on?"

The saleswoman, perhaps upset, spoke in a rather unfriendly tone: "Can't you see we haven't finished hanging them up yet? These woolen long skirts don't require cloth coupons, they require industrial vouchers. Do you have any?"

Fu Yancheng pulled a small stack of bills out of his pocket: "Can I get them for my wife now?"

The saleswoman rolled her eyes at them and said, "This woolen long skirt costs fifty yuan. If you're not serious about buying it, don't waste your time here. We're busy."

Even the usually good-tempered Fu Yancheng's face darkened after hearing her repeated obstruction: "What's wrong with you, comrade? You're putting this up for sale, so what's with all this stalling?"

Seeing Fu Yancheng's sullen face, the saleswoman was no longer as unfriendly as before: "I was just trying to remind you, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Are you sure you want to buy it? We'll get it for you now. After all, it's high-end fabric, so we naturally have to ask a few more questions. If everyone just looks and doesn't buy, the clothes will get ruined from handling them."

Chu Xue pulled Fu Yancheng aside: "Forget it, since they have other plans for this woolen dress, we don't need to be annoying here. The main thing is that I really don't like that dress."

These days, there are no leggings, so if you asked her to wear wool pants or thick cotton pants underneath, she really couldn't do it.

Seeing that his wife really didn't like it, Fu Yancheng stopped insisting: "Fine, since you don't like it, let's go look at other ones."

The sales clerk, for some reason, said, "If you don't have money, why are you pretending to be all high and mighty? You're wasting my time. You're really putting on airs."

Fu Yancheng was genuinely angry now. He had been happily out shopping with his wife, only to run into this idiot. His face turned cold as he turned to the saleswoman: "Say that again."

The sales clerk didn't expect Fu Yancheng to take it seriously: "I said you're just pretending to be rich when you don't have money, so what?"

Fu Yancheng looked at the sales clerk at the opposite counter: "Go find your leader. I'd like to ask you, is the 'Serving the People' slogan on the wall behind you just a slogan? Do we have to be ridiculed by you when we buy things?"

The sales clerk designated by Fu Yancheng looked troubled. After all, the troublemaker had powerful connections, and if she went to call the manager, she would offend someone and likely face serious consequences: "Um..."

She had barely begun to speak when someone pushed through the crowd and asked, "What happened?"

Fu Yancheng recognized the voice and turned around to look.

Upon seeing this, both voices rang out in unison: "Director."

The man, whom the sales clerks called "Director," looked at Fu Yancheng with a broad smile and called out, "Commander Fu."

This time, not only was the sales clerk who had been causing trouble dumbfounded, but the other sales clerks also looked rather grim.

Then Fu Yancheng spoke up: "Xu Weiguo, you work here?"

Xu Weiguo was excited to see Fu Yancheng: "Yes, I was just transferred here from another place a few months ago. I never expected to run into you here."

The saleswoman who caused the trouble turned pale with fright when she saw how familiar they were with each other, and that the man was a group leader. She was afraid she had really messed with them this time.
