On the other side, Bai Ni and Wang Junbao were not focused on the sweater in their hands, their attention was all on Ye Linlin’s side.
Wang Junbao was attracted by Ye Linlin’s beauty.
Bai Ni wanted to see who was spending the money. She knew that Ye Linlin had confessed to Su Chenhuai and been rejected, so she was sure that Su Chenhuai would not buy such expensive clothes for Ye Linlin.
Hearing the salesperson’s impatient words, the two of them came back to their senses.
“Just this one, Brother Junbao, I think it looks pretty good.”
Bai Ni’s tone was not as tough as when she was arguing with Ye Linlin, it was as soft as a puddle of water, making Wang Junbao confused.
“It’s a birthday gift for you, as long as you like it, then this one, wrap it up.”
In Wang Junbao’s opinion, a sweater was at most 20-something yuan. His eldest brother opened a breakfast shop in the township two years ago, and he usually did the purchasing for the shop. His eldest brother gave him 60 yuan a month, and he could also earn some extra money. Although he usually spent money lavishly, he still had some money in his hand.
Moreover, his eldest brother recently opened a restaurant and planned to let him manage the shop in the breakfast shop after it stabilized. At that time, his salary and extra income would definitely be more.
“6 chi of cloth coupons, 58 yuan.”
The salesperson reported the price expressionlessly.
“How much? This broken sweater is 58 yuan? Didn’t that red one just now cost 12 yuan?”
Wang Junbao didn’t expect a sweater to be so much more expensive, and the words blurted out, completely ignoring Bai Ni’s unhappy expression.
Bai Ni also thought this sweater was quite expensive, but Wang Junbao said this in front of Ye Linlin, and she felt that she had lost all face. The man she had tried so hard to snatch didn’t even want to spend 58 yuan on her.
But now she couldn’t let Wang Junbao think she was ignorant for the sake of a piece of clothing, the important thing was to get money from Wang Junbao to pay back the debt.
“If you think it’s expensive, buy that red one. Look at what kind of craftsmanship this one is, look at the embroidery, the beads, how fashionable.”
The salesperson rolled her eyes and snatched the sweater back from Bai Ni’s hand. She couldn’t afford it after looking at it for so long, and said she would buy it for you if you liked it, what a show.
“Brother Junbao, actually I think this color is a bit dark, I want to buy a brighter one, the red one I saw at first glance is pretty good, I still like that one.”
Bai Ni thoughtfully helped Wang Junbao out of the predicament.
Wang Junbao looked at Bai Ni with satisfaction, her words made him very useful. In his opinion, Bai Ni was really too sensible, thinking of him in everything, it was worth his painstaking efforts to break off the engagement for her.
“Okay, I’ll buy you whichever one you like, you’re so young and beautiful, you’re indeed more suitable for brighter colors.”
Wang Junbao’s appearance of doing everything according to her made Bai Ni a little speechless, but she still cooperated and lowered her head shyly.
Looking at Bai Ni’s shy appearance, Wang Junbao felt itchy in his heart.
Although Bai Ni had let him take advantage of her a lot in order to seduce him, it was all just touching hands, hugging waists, and at most hugging.
He actually knew that Bai Ni wanted to borrow money from him, and he could indeed take out this money, but he had to ask for more interest.
“Then that red one, take a new one.”
Wang Junbao deftly took out 6 chi of cloth coupons and 12 yuan from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson.
Hearing the two people’s performance, the salesperson didn’t even lift her eyelids, took the cloth coupons and money, counted them, and put them in the counter, then turned and walked towards the warehouse.
Ye Linlin looked at the pile of red clothes in front of her and chose a long-sleeved red dress. The upper body was a shirt style, the lower body was an umbrella skirt, the red wide belt was tied into a bow by the salesperson, the fabric was stiff, which could make the clothes look more textured.
Su Chenhuai signaled the salesperson to calculate how much it cost.
“Comrade, a total of 23 chi of cloth coupons, 186 yuan.”
Hearing this price, Ye Linlin turned to look at Su Chenhuai, wondering if she should say to change one, and saw Su Chenhuai nod, take out money and cloth coupons from his bag, and hand them to the salesperson.
“Brother, does Brother Su’s restaurant make so much money?”
Ye Linlin leaned close to Ye Cheng and inquired quietly.
“The restaurant is just starting out, it doesn’t make much money yet, but I saved some of my military allowance and bonus when I was in the army, and I also received a part of the subsidy when I didn’t accept the arranged job when I retired, it shouldn’t be a problem to support you. So you don’t have to save money for me.”
Before Ye Cheng could speak, Su Chenhuai’s voice came from above Ye Linlin’s head.
Lifting her head to meet Su Chenhuai’s dark eyes, Ye Linlin’s heartbeat skipped a beat for no reason.
“I didn’t mean anything else, I just think we spent a little too much money today.”
Ye Linlin really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, Su Chenhuai wouldn’t think she coveted his money, right?
“It’s okay, we’re getting married soon, you should understand my financial situation.”
Su Chenhuai didn’t think there was anything wrong, since he decided to get married, he would take on the responsibility of supporting the family.
Bai Ni didn’t want to stay here for a second.
Although Ye Linlin and Su Chenhuai spoke in a low voice and she didn’t hear them, she heard the salesperson’s words clearly.
Su Chenhuai bought a whole set of clothes for Ye Linlin, spending 23 chi of cloth coupons and 186 yuan, without even blinking an eye, but Wang Junbao didn’t even want to spend 58 yuan on her.
The most annoying thing was that she designed to tie the two of them together, looking at the man she had tried so hard to snatch by her side, it was really comparing people to death.
The salesperson came over at this time with the new sweater she found in the warehouse.
Bai Ni took the sweater and pulled Wang Junbao out, hearing the salesperson shout from behind.
“If you don’t check it carefully, there will be no returns or exchanges if there are any problems after you take it away.”
Hearing this, the two had to stop and unfold the clothes to check them carefully, and after confirming that there were no problems, they left without looking back.
The two were now preoccupied, so their steps were a bit hurried.
When passing by Ye Linlin, Bai Ni twisted her body and wanted to bump into Ye Linlin hard, but unexpectedly Su Chenhuai quickly pulled Ye Linlin to his side.
Bai Ni suddenly missed, fell to the ground, and turned back to glare at Ye Linlin.
“What do you two want to do? I haven’t settled the score with you for plotting against my sister, and you still want to blackmail someone.”
Before joining the army, Ye Cheng was a loyal person, and many of the young men of similar age in the nearby villages were his good brothers. People of the same age were a little afraid of him, but he hadn’t been home for the past few years, so no one remembered.
Hearing Ye Cheng’s words, Wang Junbao quickly helped Bai Ni up and left the department store. Looking at Bai Ni’s awkward walking posture, Ye Linlin couldn’t help but smile.
She didn’t expect Bai Ni to be so childish, she would actually come to bump into her, thanks to Su Chenhuai for pulling her.
Thinking of this, Ye Linlin realized that Su Chenhuai was still holding her hand, she pulled her hand out a little awkwardly.
Su Chenhuai felt the movement of the person next to him, let go of his hand, and there was no expression on his face, but Ye Linlin still saw that Su Chenhuai’s ear tips were a little red.
