Lai Dongmei is indeed more willing to use her brain than Shi Wenxiu. Although she is explaining it verbally, she is actually indirectly saying that she is really poor.

After all, these days everyone goes to the countryside with a lot of luggage, but she only brought a set of clothes and a lunch box, which was hard not to arouse suspicion.

Either they are not liked by their families, or their families are too poor, but no matter which one it is, they definitely cannot afford to buy clothes.

The crowd who were originally excited by Gu Wan immediately shook their heads at Gu Wan and left silently.

It was obvious that she believed what Shi Wenxiu and Lai Dongmei said, and thought that not only was she poor at a young age, but she was also so vain that she came to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at clothes even though she had no money.

“Are you going to buy or not? If not, please move aside. Standing here is disturbing others.” The salesperson rolled her eyes, sat down, and continued to pick up the sweater and prepare to knit it.

Seeing this, Shi Wenxiu raised his chin and smiled at her provocatively.

"Tsk, I originally thought that you were withholding my food because you were ignorant and didn't do anything intentional. But now that you've been paying attention to me, it seems that besides caring about my food, you're also planning to care about other things.

Tsk, you guys really scare me like this!"

Gu Wan took two steps back and patted her chest twice, looking scared.

Gu Wan did not lower her voice. In addition, the counters in the supply and marketing cooperative were close together and there were many people, so others could easily hear what Gu Wan said.

Knowing there was gossip, everyone stopped and prepared to start watching the show, some even whispered and commented.

Lai Dongmei and Shi Wenxiu were girls after all, and they could not stand this. They were a little panicked, but they did not want to leave in such disgrace.

I always feel that if I leave now, I will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

But I didn’t expect that this county town is not a village. Even if someone heard them, would there be anyone who would recognize them?

"Who cares about your broken piece of shit? Don't spit blood on them."

Shi Wenxiu was just a firecracker. Seeing people around him pointing fingers at him, he, who was already stupid to begin with, lost all his rationality at this moment.

He started to accuse Gu Wan.

But unexpectedly, it would be better if she didn't answer, as answering would be worse than no answer.

I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. Lai Dongmei really wanted to find a place to hide and say that she didn't know this person.

After all, wasn't it obvious that what she said indirectly confirmed what Gu Wan said?

"Am I slandering you? Didn't you just finish cleaning the bullpen as punishment? How come you forgot about it right after it was over?"

In this day and age, is it a good thing to be punished to clean the bullpen?

Everyone seemed to have smelled the smell of cow dung on her body. They all put their hands in front of their noses and fanned them, then took a step back tacitly.

Lai Dongmei was a girl after all. She couldn't stand being punished to clean the cowshed by so many people. She shook off Shi Wenxiu's hand, pushed through the crowd with both hands and ran out.

Shi Wenxiu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Lai Dongmei had left, he glared at Gu Wan fiercely and then chased in the direction Lai Dongmei left.

"Dongmei, wait for me, Dongmei!"

Seeing this, Gu Wan sneered, crossed her arms over her chest, and curled the corners of her mouth as she watched the scene.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people around dispersed one after another. Many of them kept looking at Gu Wan as they left.

Even the original salesperson, after all, was too old to see the power of Gu Wan's counterattack.

"Comrade, please pack those two sets of clothes for me, and get me a piece of cloth for the quilt."

There are actually quite a few quilts in her space, but they are either cotton, silk, or duck down. If they were taken out, people would definitely notice the difference.

That's why I thought of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there were any quilt covers and bed sheets from this era.

When the time comes, you can just take out the cotton quilt core in the space and put it in.

When the salesperson saw her asking, he quickly stood up and wrote out a bill for everything she wanted. After Gu Wan paid the money, she carried the items and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

As for food and snacks, the former is not needed, and the latter is completely disdained.

Food is expensive these days. It is not like the modern times when if something doesn’t taste good, you would just throw it away. Now if you throw away something that doesn’t taste good, you would probably be arrested.

The things Gu Wan bought were not very heavy. A few small items could be put directly in the backpack. The only things she needed to carry were two sets of clothes and a bed sheet and quilt cover.

You don’t need to use plastic bags when buying things now. Most things can be wrapped in newspapers or tied with ropes.

Like other people who go into the city and buy a lot of things, they will bring a backpack, but Gu Wan didn’t have one, so she could only carry the things in her hands and walk back.

Fortunately, it was wrapped in old newspapers, so no one could tell what she was holding, but there were still people who stared at what she was holding.

After all, the style looks like something he just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

You can't hail a taxi on the street to go back. There is a special bus station in the county. You have to go to the station to take a bus.

Looking at the time, she thought about it and decided to go have a meal first, otherwise she would go back hungry, and they would definitely not leave any food for her when she went back.

Gu Wan easily found the location of the state-owned restaurant, because the other houses all had small frontages.

The facades of public institutions such as supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants are very large, and the words written on them are clear and simple.

It was dinner time. There were several wooden tables in the large restaurant, some round and some square, but all of them were lined with benches.

It was already noon and many people were eating.

Many seats were already occupied. Gu Wan looked around and found that there was no one sitting in the corner, so she hurried to queue up to order food.

After paying the money and taking the sign, I walked towards the corner.

Just as they were standing at the edge of their seats, a few female comrades on the other side were about to sit down. Both sides were stunned and looked at each other in shock. It was Gu Wan who spoke first.

"I'm alone, can we share a table if you don't mind?"

When the young girl heard her words, she looked her up and down with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. When she saw her face, a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes.

The older one, on the other hand, waved his hand and agreed.

In fact, we don’t need her consent. It’s not their store. Isn’t it easy to share a table?

After a few people sat down, they completely ignored Gu Wan's existence. Gu Wan also tried her best to make herself invisible until she heard her number being called.

Only then did Gu Wan put the things she bought on her seat and stood up to get the things.
