Chapter 19: Meeting Grandma and Second Aunt

Second Aunt still looked frail, with dark eyebrows and willow eyes. She wore a very popular emerald green dress with small flowers. Although her face was not very fat, she exuded an air of nobility. At least her life was better than Qianqian's family.

Grandma looked older, but her face was full of joy. She responded happily, "I just heard Ziqi say that you came to town. My second aunt and I have been looking for you for half an hour. It's good to see you. Come and meet your second aunt. This is your second cousin Ziqi."

Suddenly a male voice joined in: "Cousin, long time no see"

Qianqian looked up and saw a big head with a few red pimples on its face, looking at her with a forced smile. It was undoubtedly her second uncle's son. He was growing up like a beast. It was such a waste of the Wei family's good genes.

This second cousin Zi Qi has never been handsome since he was a child. It’s a waste that he has such a handsome name.

Perhaps sensing the coldness in Qianqian's eyes, I tried to force out a smile.

Second cousin Li Ziqi said: "If it's convenient for you, please come to my house with your friends for a meal."

The second cousin looked at Wu Haomin provocatively. Qianqian saw everything and cursed him secretly. He said even colder, "It's inconvenient."

Ziqi was also very upset. His cousin was so arrogant five years ago, and she was still so arrogant five years later. Pretty women have the capital to be arrogant.

He sighed silently, who told him to be ugly, fat, short, dumb, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. He opened his mouth and thought about it, but decided not to say anything. Who told his father to offend the whole family?

Second Aunt seemed to sense the tension between the two and said softly, "Grandma and I went to your house twice and didn't see you either. Qianqian has grown taller, right? Let me buy you a new set of clothes."

Qianqian was about to refuse, but her grandmother used her thin hand covered with age spots to pull her towards the clothing store.

With a smile in her eyes, she said: "Qian'er, grandma will go with you. If you don't like what your second aunt bought, grandma can also buy it for you."

Qianqian skillfully transformed being pulled into supporting her grandmother, and could not sense any resistance. Her grandmother was still old, and Qianqian felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She had a face just like her mother, so if her grandmother wanted to see her, she would just stay a little longer.

Qianqian tried hard to appear cheerful and said sweetly, "Grandma, Qian'er has so many clothes that she can never wear them all. There is a very good tailor in our village. Look at this dress my grandfather just asked someone to make for me. Does it look good?"

Buying cloth to make clothes can really save you a lot of money.

The grandmother looked her granddaughter up and down. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, bangs and a high ponytail. She wore a long-sleeved light blue shirt with small flowers, a pair of light blue trousers, and a pair of white shoes. She was graceful and when she smiled, she looked 50% like the eldest daughter and 30% like the son-in-law. She was simple and generous. Nowadays, students all wear the same color, but she felt that her granddaughter Qianqian was good in everything.

Qianqian gestured to her friends to follow, and Wu Yuzhu and the other two girls happily ran towards the flowers like butterflies. Wu Haomin and his second aunt and her son walked slowly behind them, forming a protective posture for the little flowers.

The 80s would spend one fifth of their salary to buy a pair of pants, usually 11-20 yuan. Branded goods are even more expensive, and those who are vain would even say "it's glorious to buy expensive goods" to show off their wealth.

Most buyers bargained hard for the boss's price of 150 yuan or 300 yuan.

"Call for the sky, return the earth" was once the scene of clothing sales in Lingnan Tiandi - the boss shouted out the price of 300, and the customer returned 80.

At this time, the boss will say: "It's not enough to pay for rent, water and electricity."

Seeing this, the buyer turned around and left.

The boss hurriedly said, "Come back, add a few dozen dollars."

The buyer knew there was a chance and raised the price: "100!"

The boss said, "Please add more. The little money you added is too little. It's not enough to cover the cost of transporting goods."

The customer tried to leave again, but the boss quickly stopped him and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just consider it as today's opening deal."

Every day, this kind of "psychological buying and selling warfare" is played out countless times in the clothing stores on Zhonghua Road, and each one becomes a commercial sales blockbuster.

Whenever someone comes to buy clothes, the boss's last words are always "We'll sell it to you at the cheapest price since we opened the business." This sentence is simply like "devils fighting in front of the King of Hell - nonsense." However, everyone knows it well, and they are too lazy to expose the routines in the business world.

Before Qianqian went out, her grandfather had given her 2 yuan for self-defense, and she took another 2 yuan from the small treasury. Qianqian supported her grandmother as they walked and talked, thinking about what to buy to make the families happy.

Suddenly, the second aunt screamed: "Qianqian, get out of the way!"

Second Aunt roared again, "Qier, run to protect your cousin, those two men in grey clothes are not normal."

Wu Haomin and his companions were horrified when they heard this.

The grandmother and granddaughter walking in front could not hear the second aunt's voice at all and were dispersed by the sudden commotion of the crowd.

Someone yelled, "Oh no! There's a fight going on! Everyone, step back and leave here quickly."

After Chen Haihua, Wei Tianxian and the driver Lao Li had their fill of food and drink, they sat in a private room on the second floor of the Fulai Restaurant to chat and digest their food.

Wei Tianxian, who was sitting by the window, suddenly shouted, "Mr. Hua, your fiancée is here."

Chen Haihua and the driver looked at him blankly and scolded him, "I see you haven't drunk any alcohol, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Wei Tianxian said anxiously, "It's true. Come and identify her. The one wearing a light blue floral dress is Wei Qianqian. Oh no, those two men look like they're trying to kidnap someone."

Chen Haihua, who had drunk a few bottles of beer, looked down in an irritable mood and saw a tall girl wandering in the crowd, and the two men in gray following her stealthily.

But Li Ji curled his lips and said, "Thieves nowadays are too rampant. They dare to rob in broad daylight. Um... No, there are two groups of people surrounding the girl. Is this really your fiancée?"

Wei Tianxian had already run downstairs, and when he turned around and saw the two of them following him, he said, "Yes, it's the top scorer Wei Qianqian. Let's go save her first. Quickly."

Chen Haihua went downstairs and faced the wind. His mind finally cleared up and he immediately made a rescue plan: "You guys go find a way to stop the two men in gray first, and I'll stop the other two."

Wei Qianqian had no idea that this commotion was all prepared for her. She saw her panicked grandmother and her second aunt and the others walking together, and she felt relieved. Just as she was about to run over, there was a loud bang, and two men fell to the ground and wailed inexplicably.

Qianqian has never been a curious person, and she ran towards her grandmother without stopping. When the two parties met, Qianqian made a silent gesture, and the others understood and ran away immediately. The group of 8 people walked through two streets, and only stopped when they saw no suspicious people.
