Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

One of the men pointed at Yang Chong and said, "What's wrong with asking you to wait a moment?"

Yu Xiu was frightened and said quickly: "It's okay, wait, we'll wait..."

But Yang Chong, who traveled through time from the future, could not swallow this humiliation. He thought to himself, you are a person working in the service industry, and customers buy things to take care of your business. What's the matter, do you still want to hit me?

The thought of this made him furious. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the finger that was pointing at him. With a little force, the male salesperson screamed in pain, almost crying, and fell on the counter: "Ah! It hurts, it hurts!"

Yu Xiu was shocked and was about to persuade Yang Chong, but when the female sales clerks saw that their own people were at a disadvantage, they immediately rushed out from the counter.

"Where did you come from, this little hooligan, and how dare you act so wildly here? Don't you see where you are?" said a fat woman with permed hair, reaching out to grab Yang Chong's face.

Yu Xiu refused to agree this time: "You dare to hit my man? Ask me first if I agree or not!"

He suddenly pounced over, grabbed the fat woman's hair and pulled her aside without saying a word.

The fat woman screamed in pain. The other women were stunned for a moment, then quickly shifted their target and surrounded Yu Xiu.

At this time, Yang Chong left the man behind, stepped forward and pulled Yu Xiu behind him, glaring at him: "You want to fight? Come one by one or all together, I'll accompany you!"

The fat woman sat down on the ground with a thud. Yu Xiu pulled a lock of her hair out and she screamed in pain.

The other people were all frightened by Yang Chong's aura. They looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, the man jumped out from the counter, holding a mop in his hand, and was about to hit Yang Chong on the head, shouting as he hit him: "Little hooligan, you dare to hit me? This is going to be a big deal..."

Yang Chong raised his hand, grabbed the mop handle with his backhand and pulled it hard. The male salesperson couldn't control his body and rushed over. As a result, he was tripped by Yang Chong and fell to the ground with a thud.

Before he could get up, Yang Chong put one foot on his back.

Yang Chong stepped on the male salesperson, holding the mop handle in his hand, his eyes wide open: "Who else wants to come?!"

The female sales clerks were all dumbfounded and no one dared to move.

Even the fat woman forgot the pain and sat on the ground staring at him blankly.

At this moment, the curtain at the back was lifted, and a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses ran in from behind.

It looked like he was the head of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he came running over when he heard some noise ahead.

As soon as he came in, he saw a bunch of people crowded in the store. Without thinking, he complained, "What's going on? Haven't I told you several times not to hit customers, not to hit customers? Why are you hitting people again?"

None of the salesmen said anything, thinking to themselves, does it look like we are the ones beating someone up? It's obviously us who are getting beaten up, okay?

The manager was shortsighted. After he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. After looking carefully, he found that it seemed that his subordinates had suffered a loss.

Liang Guihua, who was usually the most difficult to please, sat on the ground with her head covered, as if a strand of her hair had been pulled by someone.

The only male salesperson, Liu Haizhu, was lying on the ground with a foot stepping on his back.

The other female subordinates all looked horrified.

He was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"

Several female sales clerks hurriedly said: "Manager Liang, this guy is causing trouble and beating people..."

They wanted to point at Yang Chong, but Yang Chong glared at them. They immediately remembered what happened to Liu Haizhu and quickly retracted their fingers.

Manager Liang looked at Yang Chong in surprise. He knew his subordinates very well. They usually relied on the fact that they were state-owned employees and felt superior. They were the only ones who bullied others, but he had never seen them being bullied by others.

For this purpose, he even wrote a few words on the wall: "No beating or scolding of customers at will."

But unexpectedly, they were beaten by others today?

What's happening here?

Before he could ask, Yu Xiu spoke first: "Your people are talking nonsense. We were the ones who wanted to buy cloth. We called them a few times but they ignored us and scolded us. They also... relied on their numbers to bully us..."

Chapter 12 Buying Fabric

Yu Xiu was very smart and only said things that were beneficial to her.

Earlier, he said that these sales clerks ignored him and even cursed at him, but when it came to the question of who started the fight first, he automatically skipped over it and changed it to them bullying others by relying on their numbers.

The male salesperson lying on the ground got anxious when he heard this: "Manager, don't listen to his nonsense, it was clearly them who started it first..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Chong raised his foot and then dropped it again.

This time he stepped on the back of his head.

The male salesperson's face was immediately pressed to the ground and he had a mouthful of dirt.

Manager Liang quickly said, "No, comrade, don't do it."

Yang Chong said, "You are the leader here, right? Leader, I didn't hit anyone, but your people went too far. They chatted and ate sunflower seeds during work hours. I wanted to buy cloth, but no one responded to me after I called a few times. Some people even said I was too loud and wanted to hit me. Tell me, is this how the great teacher wants you to serve the people?"

Yang Chong's words left the sales clerks present speechless.

Even though they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, Yang Chong brought the matter up to the instruction of a mentor who served the people. Who would dare to go against the mentor?

Manager Liang also knew the character of these uncles and aunts under him, so he didn't ask them at all. He glared at them, then said with a smile: "Comrade, we are all wrong. Please let them get up first. I will come and get you the cloth I want."

Yang Chong snorted and raised his foot, and the male salesperson Liu Haizhu on the ground quickly got up.

When he stood up and wanted to say something, Manager Liang glared at him and he shut up unwillingly.

Manager Liang asked Yang Chong with a smile: "Comrade, what kind of cloth do you want to buy?"

Yang Chong looked at Yu Xiu and said, "This is my wife. We registered our marriage today, so I wanted to buy some cloth to make her some clothes. But you guys ruined my good mood."

Manager Liang said quickly, "Congratulations to you two. I'm really sorry to have troubled you on your happy day."

As he said this, he quickly walked to the counter, picked up two rolls of floral fabric and said, "Comrades, look, these two rolls of fabric are both very suitable for women to make clothes. Which one do you like?"

Yu Xiu looked at Yang Chong.

Yang Chong took her hand and walked to the counter, but frowned after taking a look. The two patterns seemed a bit too colorful to him, just like the quilt covers commonly used by rural people.

How can such fabric be used to make clothes?

"Are there no other patterns?" Yang Chong asked.

Manager Liang was stunned: "Why? You don't like these two kinds? These usually sell very well, and many people are scrambling for them."

Yu Xiu also pulled Yang Chong's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I think this is pretty good."

Yang Chong shook his head. In his opinion, such fabric was too tacky and unworthy of being worn as a new dress for his Xiu'er. "Are there no other patterns?" he asked again.

Manager Liang shook his head awkwardly: "These two are already the best we bought. Those are even less suitable for lesbians."

Yang Chong was a little disappointed. The fabrics of this era were definitely not as beautiful as those of later generations in terms of patterns and designs, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to see even a single pattern that he liked.

At this time, Manager Liang whispered again: "Comrade, if you don't like these two, you might as well look somewhere else outside. I know a place that specializes in selling fabrics for making clothes. They have more patterns and colors, but they may be a little expensive."

Yang Chong immediately said, "Where is this place you're talking about? Expensive is not a problem, as long as the patterns are nice."

Manager Liang said, "When you go out of this door, go to Qianmen Street. On the west side, there is a silk and satin shop. The owner is a woman. She has a wider variety of patterns and they are more fashionable."

Yang Chong nodded: "Okay, thanks." He took Yu Xiu's hand and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Behind him, Manager Liang pointed at several of his subordinates and shook his head: "Look at you guys, you're so lazy at work all day. It's ok if no one buys anything, but if someone does, can't you greet them?"

Several sales clerks curled their lips and walked away.

Manager Liang shook his head and sighed.

There's nothing I can do. These uncles and aunts treat me, their manager, like their grandson.

Yang Chong and Yu Xiu walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative and went directly to Qianmen Street as Manager Liang had instructed.

The road is a bit far, but it doesn’t matter anyway. We don’t have to go to work, so it’s nice for the two of us to walk along the road.

It was already mid-afternoon when we arrived at Qianmen Street.

The place Manager Liang mentioned is easy to find because there is only one cloth shop in this area.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a young woman in her mid-twenties sitting there in a daze. She had a pretty face, and a natural charm.

The young woman frowned as if she was thinking about something, and she didn't even notice two people coming in.

Yang Chong called out, "Boss, do you have any nice fabrics?"

The young woman was startled and quickly stood up, smiling apologetically and said, "Comrade, are you here? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Then he walked up to Yu Xiu enthusiastically and said, "Oh, such a beautiful girl, she is really pretty. Comrade, is this your girlfriend? You are so lucky to find such a beautiful girlfriend."

This proprietress is not only beautiful, but also very good at talking. As soon as she opens her mouth, the two people feel very comfortable.

Especially Yu Xiu, she was a little shy, blushing and said: "Sister, please don't laugh at me, I'm not as pretty as you."

The proprietress shook her head and said, "This is not a joke, this is the truth. You are really pretty, and this guy is also very handsome. Tsk tsk, the two of you standing together are really a perfect match, it makes people envious just looking at you."

Yu Xiu felt so happy about what she said that she couldn't help but secretly glance at Yang Chong. She felt so sweet in her heart.

Even Yang Chong, who traveled from the future, had a higher opinion of this proprietress in his heart. In the future, every businessman would say such nice words to make customers happy, but it is rare to see people speaking like this in this era.

"Madam, I heard that you have a lot of beautiful fabrics here, so we ran several blocks to come here specially." Yang Chong said.

The proprietress chuckled and said charmingly, "Comrade, you heard it right, and you didn't come to the wrong place. I'm not bragging, but in this whole city, if you want to buy fabrics, including those state-owned stores, no one has better-looking fabrics than what I sell here, Chen Xueru, and I sell a wider variety."

Chen Xueru?

Yang Chong was stunned and looked at the beautiful proprietress in surprise.

No wonder she is so eloquent, it turns out she is Chen Xueru, one of the little women under Zhengyang Sect!

Chapter 13 Making Clothes

Yang Chong was very familiar with Chen Xueru. She was not a character in the Siheyuan world, but a heroine in another period drama "The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate".

Beautiful, open-minded, and especially good at business.

When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.

It seems that the world I traveled to is not just a courtyard world.

He smiled and nodded: "Really? Then I'll have to trouble the boss lady to help my wife find a nice pattern to make a dress."

Then he turned around and looked around: "By the way, boss lady, can you make clothes here?"

Nowadays, most fabric shops would have tailors who could make clothes for the convenience of customers.

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Yes, of course. Let's pick out the fabric first. I'll measure your size and then let the master make it for you."

As he said that, he walked into the counter, brought out several rolls of fabrics with nice patterns and placed them on the counter: "Come on, girl, pick one you like."

Yu Xiu happily came forward, looked at this and that, but couldn't make up her mind.

Each roll of fabric was more beautiful than the other, and she was dazzled by the sight.

Especially the two volumes in front of her, she felt satisfied with both of them and it was difficult to choose.

Yang Chong knew what was going on, so he simply said, "Madam, use these two kinds of fabric to make a top. Make one piece of one kind and get another pair of the gray one to make pants."

Chen Xueru's face lit up immediately. The store had not had much business all day, but now a "big customer" had come and ordered two sets of clothes for her.

When Yu Xiu heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, just one is enough. Two will cost a lot of money. Also, you don't need to make pants. I can just wear the rest of your pants."

Yang Chong shook his head: "Don't worry about the money. If I marry you, I won't let you be unable to afford clothes."

When Yu Xiu was about to say something, Chen Xueru beside her said with a smile: "Sister, having a man who pampers you like this is something others can't even dream of having. Just listen to him."

As she spoke, she had already picked up the tape measure on the counter: "Come, sister, I'll measure your size and see how much cloth you need."

After hearing what she said, Yu Xiu no longer insisted and blushed as she obediently let Chen Xueru measure her body size.

Chen Xueru said while measuring: "Tsk tsk, sister, I really didn't realize that you looked so thin from outside, but now I know that your butt is really big. You will definitely give birth to a son in the future, or at least two! Brother, you picked up a treasure."

Yang Chong: ...

Yu Xiu blushed even more to her neck: "Sister..."

After the measurements were completed, Chen Xueru calculated: "Brother, sister, one shirt needs seven feet of cloth, two pieces are fourteen feet, plus a pair of pants is six feet, a total of two feet of cloth." Then she looked at Yang Chong worriedly: "Brother, a total of eighteen yuan, and two feet of cloth coupons..."

The meaning is to ask whether Yang Chong has enough cloth coupons.

In that era, everything had to be supplied with tickets, and these tickets were limited. It was really difficult for ordinary people to come up with so many cloth coupons.

Without even thinking, Yang Chong took out the cloth coupons and money from his pocket: "Two zhang, right? That's perfect. I happen to have two zhang of cloth coupons."

What a coincidence! The system had just rewarded exactly two meters of cloth coupons. It turned out that it was prepared for Yu Xiu.
