Transmigrated As The Ex-Wife Of A Heroic Man

Chapter 61 - 63

61 Being Looked Down Upon

However, except for her beautiful eyes, Su Xiu’s clothes were also patched.

When she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she attracted strange looks from others.

The two sisters stood before the hardware counter for a long time. The salesperson in her twenties was busy knitting and didn’t even look at her.

This kind of silent contempt was the most unbearable.

“Hello, do you have locks and zippers for sale?” Su Wen asked.

The knitting salesgirl looked at Su Wen impatiently, especially when she saw Su Xiu’s decolored and patched clothes. She gave her a disdainful look.

Su Wen couldn’t help but feel angry. “I’m asking you a question. If you have it, we’d like to buy some. If not, we won’t disturb you.”

“Do you have an industrial ticket?” The salesgirl finally opened her mouth arrogantly.

“No, but I remember that small things like locks and zippers don’t require tickets,” Su Wen clearly remembered that in the 1980s, the country’s control over tickets had gradually disappeared.

Unless it was a large item, the locks, and zippers were considered small items and did not require a ticket.

They would just need to pay to get them.

The salesgirl’s attitude immediately changed when she heard that Su Wen had no tickets. It was as if she had been holding back all this while. Now that she knew Su Wen didn’t have a ticket, she no longer had to be polite.

“You want to buy things without tickets? Hurry up and leave.”

Su Xiu stood at the side. Her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

She felt that she had embarrassed her elder sister and caused her to be looked down upon. Su Xiu felt incredibly guilty. She felt that her elder sister was right.

They were too useless and had dragged their big sister down.

“What are you crying for?” Su Wen got angry when she saw her like this and pinched Su Xiu hard. “I’m telling you, this is not your fault. Next time, if you encounter such a snob, you can slap her to death.”

Su Wen didn’t lower her voice when she spoke, so everyone around her heard her.

“What are you saying? I dare you to say that again! I’m going to tear your stinky mouth apart,” The salesgirl pointed at Su Wen’s nose with the bamboo stick in her hand and scolded her arrogantly, “why don’t you look where you are? Don’t you know how poor you look?”

Su Wen wasn’t scared! She was being bullied. She would end up like Su Xiu if she didn’t fight back. She also wanted to use this opportunity to help Su Xiu regain her confidence.

“I said you’re looking down on me? What’s wrong? Don’t you think it’s enough and want to hear more?” Su Wen sneered and questioned, “is this your shop? Do I need to give you a ticket if you said it needs one?”

If she were to back down even a little today, Su Xiu would never be able to escape the tragic fate in the original novel.

“I…” The salesgirl’s face turned red. She could get such a good job because of her family’s connections. She got in through the back door. Since she started working, no colleague had ever dared to have a conflict with her.

She had already placed herself in a high position and had forgotten who she was.

Now that Su Wen had asked, she almost blurted out that it was her family’s.
