I was a daigou in the 60s

He stopped when he passed a car shop.

There are two old cars parked in front of the store.

Although they had a historical charm, they did not arouse his interest.

What really caught his attention was the pink-painted Santana in the showroom.

It looks different and very eye-catching.

Xiao Dongqing walked into the store involuntarily, but was stopped by a man coming down the stairs.

"What are you doing here? Who allowed you in? Get out!"

The manager, named Zhong Hao, waved his hands as if he was driving away a beggar.

"I just came to look at the car."

Xiao Dongqing said calmly.

Zhong Hao looked him up and down. Xiao Dongqing was wearing a worn shirt.

The cloth shoes on his feet had a hole in them, and he was carrying seafood in his hands. He didn't look like someone who could afford a car.

"You're dressed like this, and you still want to buy a car? Go away, don't waste my time."

Xiao Dongqing frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

But he didn't back off, instead he looked directly into Zhong Hao's eyes.

"I do want to see the car, what's wrong?"

Zhong Hao was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Dongqing's attitude. He frowned, as if he wanted to scold him again.

However, at this moment, there was a subtle tension in the air, as if a storm was about to come.

In the car dealership's showroom, Manager Zhong was giving orders to a plainly dressed man.

"Little Leo, kick this guy out!"

Before he could finish his words, Little Leo hurried over with a rubber stick in his hand and started swinging it at the man.

"Get out! Or I'll be rude!"

He snapped.

"You really judge a person by his appearance."

That man, Xiao Dongqing responded coldly.

"Hey, you're pretty brave? You want to buy a Santana?"

Leo laughed, as if it were some huge joke.

"If you can afford this car, our Manager Zhong will kneel down and call you grandpa!"

Xiao Dongqing did not retreat, his eyes firmly fixed on a pink Santana in the exhibition hall.

"Then keep the car for me. I'll pick it up in a week."

"Your Manager Zhong must definitely call me Master!"

Little Leo spat in disdain and muttered.

"It's crazy. The poorer they are, the more self-righteous they become."

At this time, Zhong Hao's voice came from behind.

"Little Leo, stop dawdling and polish that Santana quickly. Master Jiu will be picking it up in a few days!"

"Okay, Manager Zhong!"

Little Leo answered.

……

In a nursery in the same city, the sounds of children's laughter and games intertwine.

The loud speaker played cheerful children's songs, and parents played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with their children.

Wu Cuihua, a teacher at the nursery, announced the upcoming activities.

"The next project in the parent-child class is Three-legged Two-legged."

"Children, please find your parents and stand in the middle."

Su Zhilan and her daughter Tiantian stood at the back of the line, trying to avoid people's attention.

However, Wu Cuihua spotted them at a glance and walked over.

"Didn't we inform both parents that they must participate in parent-child activities?"

"Why, you're not going to participate?"

Wu Cuihua's words made everyone's attention focused on Su Zhilan.

Su Zhilan lowered her head and held her daughter's hand tightly, feeling mixed emotions.

"Haha, Tiantian, I told you a long time ago that you don't have a father!"

A child named Cheng Bin laughed.

His parents Zhou Fen and Cheng Dayang watched coldly from the side with a hint of displeasure on their faces.

Seeing this, Wu Cuihua added fuel to the fire.

"What? Tiantian doesn't have a dad?"

"Who is Xiao Dongqing then? Su Zhilan, are you having an affair?"

This sentence was like a stone dropped into water, causing a huge ripple.

Parents began to whisper, and some frowned and covered their children's ears.

“Some people even looked at Su Zhilan strangely.

"She looks like she's only been married for a short time, and she's already like this. It's really outrageous."

A parent said softly.

"In the past, this kind of behavior would be punished."

Another parent echoed.

Faced with these criticisms, Su Zhilan felt isolated and helpless.

But she knew that true strength comes from within, not from the outside world.

Su Zhilan felt a surge of grievance in her heart, and her eyes gradually became moist.

Despite this, she tried to remain calm and didn't want her daughter to see her sad.

She knew that as a mother, her reaction would have a profound impact on her daughter.

In order to protect her child, Su Zhilan gently covered her daughter's ears.

He held her tightly in his arms, trying to isolate herself from the noise of the outside world.

At this time, Zhou Fen's voice broke the silence.

"Why are you afraid to face it? If you have done it, you should be brave enough to take responsibility for it."

Su Zhilan took a deep breath and looked directly into the other person's eyes.

"I have nothing to hide."

"When I interact with anyone, it's all based on sincerity, not what you said."

“As for my career, it is one of the ways for me to realize my self-worth.”

"is it?"

Zhou Fen questioned.

"So, Mr. Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Cuihua hesitated for a moment, as if considering her choice of words.

“Everyone can choose their own lifestyle.”

She finally said.

"But we should abide by the moral bottom line and care about the happiness of our family."

Su Zhilan nodded with a firm tone.

"I love my daughter, she's my world."

"Everything I do is to give her a better life and let her grow up healthily."

"Any plans for her future will be based on her well-being."

After hearing this, the discussions around gradually died down.

Although some people are still skeptical.

But Su Zhilan's attitude made everyone think about the other side of the matter.

Tiantian felt her mother's strength, stopped crying, and snuggled quietly beside her mother.

At this moment, there is no more accusation, only silence and reflection.

Tiantian suddenly screamed in pain and held her head tightly with both hands.

Her eyes were full of tears, and she ran towards Cheng Bin crying and shouting.

"I beat you to death!"

Just as her fist was about to land on Cheng Bin.

Teacher Wu Cuihua quickly grabbed Tiantian's arm and stopped her actions.

"What are you doing? This is school, no fighting!"

Wu Cuihua said seriously.

Tiantian was startled by this action and hurriedly explained.

"Teacher Wu, he hit me first."

"He hit you first? I didn't see it."

"Why did he hit you and not others?"

"Maybe you did something to upset him?"

Wu Cuihua asked sternly.

Tiantian felt even more aggrieved and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

"Don't cry! Do you think you're right after making a mistake? Stand still!"

Wu Cuihua's voice was stern and cold.

Tiantian didn't dare to argue anymore and could only stand there sobbing, feeling very aggrieved.
