Chapter 26 Ex-girlfriend is very jealous
The sound silenced the bustling street for a moment. Shop owners measuring cloth, shoppers, and haggling all stopped what they were doing and turned to find the source of the sound.
Xu Chunsheng was still in the position of handing over the bell-bottoms, and the remaining sisters also turned to look outside.
Everyone saw You Xiaoxia carrying her canvas bag, rushing into the store aggressively, as if she was about to throw it at Xu Chunsheng.
Xu Chunsheng grabbed You Xiaoxia's raised hand and shouted, "You Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you?"
You Xiaoxia angrily tugged at Xu Chunsheng's arm, saying, "You promised to buy me bell-bottoms, but you didn't. Now you're buying them for another woman. What right do you have?"
Xu Chunsheng was so angry at the woman's answer that he laughed: "You mean, if you say you want a pair of bell-bottoms in front of me, I have to buy them for you whether I agree or not?"
You Xiaoxia didn't care about any of that. She only knew that in the past, Xu Chunsheng would grant her requests whenever she asked, and she said it with a straight face:
"When have I not said I'd deliver it every few days? Isn't that always the case? You agreed, so what else can you call it?"
Hearing You Xiaoxia's unreasonable and arrogant statement, the shop owner couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up directly:
"You little brat, it's not even right for his little brother to buy his sister some clothes? Besides, he didn't even agree to buy them for you, where do you get the nerve?"
Then the boss addressed the onlookers outside:
"What are you looking at? Aren't you doing business anymore?"
"Splash splash"
The quiet street suddenly became lively, with people haggling and chatting, though some discussions about what had just happened could be faintly heard.
"This girl is really something, making such a ruckus in the street."
"So you're saying we have to buy her bell-bottoms? And we're not allowed to buy them for her sister. She'll be miserable if she marries him."
The dense murmur of conversation outside the store reached You Xiaoxia's ears. She stood frozen in place, not knowing why things had turned out this way.
You Xiaoxia clenched her hands, and sweat gradually seeped from her palms, as if constantly reminding herself of the joke that everyone had just witnessed.
Only now did You Xiaoxia spare a glance for the woman in the floral dress beside her. She hadn't realized at all that this was the eldest sister of the Xu family, because in her memory, the eldest sister was someone who usually wore dark clothes and worked silently.
You Xiaoxia turned her head and saw Xu Chunsheng's annoyed expression. She also saw Xu's eldest sister, who was wearing a floral dress and standing quietly next to her. Even Xu's third brother and youngest sister were looking at her with confusion.
At that moment, You Xiaoxia felt as if needles were pricking her body. After forcefully breaking free from Xu Chunsheng's grip, she put the bag in her hand on her forehead to cover most of her face, hurriedly passed through the crowd, and ran away.
Seeing this, Xu Chunsheng stopped worrying about it. Pointing to the unprinted shirt that had just been taken down, he turned to the boss and said, "Boss, could you please pack this shirt and the fabric together, and pack the outfit that was taken out later separately?"
Then, picking up the jeans that You Xiaoxia had knocked off, she said to her older sister, "Sister, go try these on. I saw a lot of girls wearing them when I went to the county last time. I'll buy you another pair."
The older woman admired Xu Chunsheng; he didn't seem to care about what had just happened and even let her try on the pants. She took the pants, carefully inspected them, and finding no dust, handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Boss, I'm so sorry you had to see this. Look at the pants, they should be fine. We'll just take what we just had."
After saying that, he turned to Xu Chunsheng and said:
"Let's not try on the pants. Let's hurry up and not delay the boss's business. A pair of bell-bottoms costs a lot of money. We can buy them later."
Upon hearing what the eldest sister said to Xu Chunsheng, the boss chuckled and said:
"Little sister, if you ask me, I'd say your brother is very considerate of you. He even bought new clothes for his younger siblings. He's a good guy. Go try them on. It's okay if you don't buy them. If you like them, just come back and buy them from me next time."
Xu Chunsheng repeated his previous statement: "Boss, with your eloquence, you'll succeed at anything."
Seeing that his eldest sister had been persuaded by the boss, Xu Chunsheng found a set for his youngest sister as well, and told her to go and try it out with her.
……
"I'll give you twenty-four for the cloth, eighteen for a set of clothes, and eight for a shirt, that's exactly fifty yuan."
The shopkeeper folded the items, put them in a bag, and handed it to Xu Chunsheng and his companions. He added, "Come buy from me again next time, and I'll give you a discount."
After Xu Chunsheng paid, Xu Sandi, holding the bag handed to him by the shopkeeper, looked somewhat incredulous. Although it wasn't his best-looking outfit, it was still a new look. He excitedly told his eldest sister and second brother:
"I will definitely keep it safe!"
"Snapped!"
Xu Chunsheng tapped his third brother's forehead with his finger and laughed:
"Keep this shovel safe. It was bought to be worn. If you don't wear it now, you won't be able to wear it in two days."
Even Xu Yaomei chimed in from the side:
"That's right, that's right! New clothes are meant to be worn!"
Although Xu Yaomei doesn't have any new clothes now, her mother and older sister will make her a pretty little dress when she gets back.
After the group left, the vendor at the next stall rolled their eyes at them and muttered:
"Oh, you're trying to save money. You have to buy fabric and make a dress yourself. Sister Liu, you've worked so hard, but you haven't even made any money. It's just enough to buy a cup of tea."
Sister Liu ignored his sarcastic remarks and said, "Having tea is fine, it's better than some people who haven't even opened a business yet."
Sister Liu knew that although the siblings had bought relatively cheap items, they paid decisively and didn't seem like people who were stingy. She knew that she had made a favor this time, and that they would remember her when buying clothes in the future.
When the group arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Chunsheng said to his eldest sister:
"Big sister, could you give me the cloth coupons? I'll go buy some cloth and you can sew me a couple of jackets to wear in the hot weather."
"Okay, make a lot more, and make another one for Mom and Dad too."
"Okay, what size shoes does Mom wear? I'll pick out another pair for her."
Not long after, under his older sister's guidance, Xu Chunsheng bought his mother a pair of black cloth shoes with a single buckle. His older sister's exact words were:
"Choose one size larger, with tight stitching, and when you get home, sew a pair of soles yourself to fill in the gaps. That will make walking more comfortable."
Xu Chunsheng nodded to indicate that he had learned something. After paying the bill, he took out the pork, fertilizer, and Xu Sandi's rations that he had bought that morning and stored at the supply and marketing cooperative.
This year, not only corn needs fertilizer, but also lilyturf. Relying solely on our own manure is not enough; we need to buy chemical fertilizers to supplement it.
Now, You Xiaoxia had lost face and didn't want to walk around the streets anymore, as if everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.
But after returning home in a huff, You Xiaoxia felt increasingly ashamed and heartbroken.
"Mom, you don't know, this Xu Chunsheng really didn't give me any face today! He's becoming more and more concerned about his so-called older sister and younger brother, but he doesn't care much about me at all."
"He used to be so compliant, he wouldn't dare say no, but why has he changed now?"
You Xiaoxia then went on to complain to her mother about Xu Chunsheng.
