Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Not only were Luo Fang and Zhang Pei taken aback, but even the sales clerk frowned and said, "Comrade, this is a state-run department store, please don't cause trouble!"

Zhang Pei chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "Hmph, how much money could farmers have? They probably couldn't even afford one piece of clothing here, yet they want to buy so many. They're clearly just deliberately causing trouble!"

Luo Fang shouted even louder, "Salesperson, quickly call the police and arrest these two vandals!"

Provoked by the mother and daughter, the two sales clerks hesitated, considering whether they should actually call the police to arrest them.

Just then, a person wearing a red armband squeezed into the crowd and shouted, "What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?"

"Director Li, you've come at the perfect time!" The sales clerk said with a sigh of relief, "This person said he wanted to buy more than a dozen pieces of clothing from us at once. What should I do?"

Director Li, from the mall's security department, immediately sized Liu Weidong up and down upon hearing this, saying, "Young man, this is not a place for jokes. If you really want to buy clothes, you're welcome, but if you're trying to cause trouble... don't blame me for being impolite!"

Before Liu Weidong could speak, Luo Fang shouted, "This little brat is obviously here to cause trouble. Why be polite to someone like him? Arrest him first!"

Zhang Pei added fuel to the fire: "That's right, they're just farmers. If farmers can afford so many clothes, I can buy all the clothes here!"

Liu Weidong sneered, "Everyone heard that, so don't go back on your word later!"

After saying this, Liu Weidong immediately pulled out a thick wad of ten-yuan bills and slammed it on the counter. He then calmly said to the sales clerk, "Could you please calculate the total price of the clothes I just ordered?"

Now it was the others' turn to be shocked, staring at Liu Weidong and Wang Shujuan in astonishment. If these two were really farmers, as the mother and daughter had claimed, how could they have so much money?

Liu Weidong didn't care what others thought and impatiently urged the sales clerk, "Comrade, please hurry up, we still need to buy other things!"

Director Li was the first to snap out of it and quickly reminded the sales clerk, "Xiao Zhang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and settle the bill!"

The sales clerk then came to her senses and hurriedly grabbed the abacus, frantically calculating the price before finally saying to Liu Weidong, "Twelve pieces of clothing, totaling two hundred and seventy-five yuan and six mao!"

"Okay!" Liu Weidong nodded and immediately counted out a stack of RMB and handed it to the sales clerk.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the sales clerk counted several times before finally looking up and saying, "The number is correct!"

"Sister, please choose the right size for yourself and ask the sales clerk to wrap it up," Liu Weidong whispered to Wang Shujuan, then turned to look at Luo Fang and her daughter with a half-smile.

Zhang Pei felt uneasy under Liu Weidong's gaze and stammered, "Why...why are you looking at us like that?"

Liu Weidong said loudly, "Everyone heard this just now. This person said that if I bought the clothes, she would buy all the clothes in this counter! Now I've kept my word, isn't it her turn?"

"The young man is right!"

"Make her buy it!"

"That's right, you have to keep your word!"

The onlookers, naturally unafraid of things escalating, readily voiced their agreement with Liu Weidong's statement.

Zhang Pei and her daughter's faces immediately turned extremely ugly; they looked incredibly embarrassed.

Faced with the crowd's jeers, Luo Fang stubbornly argued, "We didn't know he would actually buy it, how can we take his casual remarks seriously!"

Seeing the old woman start to act shamelessly, the customers began to jeer, thinking that the mother and daughter were really shameless.

Liu Weidong, of course, wouldn't let the two off easily. He sneered, "You don't know anything, so you say I'm deliberately causing trouble and want to call the police to arrest me? Now, everyone, please judge for yourselves, who is really causing trouble, and should we arrest the real troublemaker?"

"That's a must!"

"Arrest whoever causes trouble, no problem!"

The onlookers expressed their support for his statement, saying that Zhang Pei and her daughter, who were causing trouble, should be arrested.

The reason everyone was so unanimous was mainly because the attitude of the mother and daughter was truly irritating. On the other side, there was a eloquent young man who spoke with reason and evidence, and a quiet and pretty young woman. Anyone with eyesight would know who to support.

Even Director Li felt that Liu Weidong was right, and frowned as he glanced at Zhang Pei and her daughter.

These two are clearly making trouble out of nothing and deliberately framing Liu Weidong! Luckily, I didn't rush to arrest them, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to handle this situation. This is just setting people up for trouble!

Director Li grew increasingly angry, and with a stern face, he said to Zhang Pei and her daughter, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Luo Fang tried to argue her point, but Zhang Pei quickly pulled her mother back and apologized to Director Li with a smile: "I'm so sorry, it's really a misunderstanding. We came to buy wedding supplies, how could we possibly cause trouble on purpose? We still have things to buy, so please don't take it to heart."

Since Zhang Pei had apologized, Director Li, adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," gave the two of them a warning look before storming off.

Seeing that Director Li had finally left, Zhang Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had really been arrested today, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing face; it might even affect her wedding a few months from now, which was something she absolutely could not accept.

Seeing that there was nothing more to see, the customers dispersed. This gave Zhang Pei and her daughter the illusion that they were successful again!

So Luo Fang started cursing: "You little brat, born of a man but not taught by him, you actually tried to frame your old mother! May your sons be born without an anus!"

Zhang Pei wasn't as bold as her mother, but she still indirectly said, "Mom, just say less. These country folk are unreasonable. What if they start hitting us?"

Luo Fang angrily said, "He wouldn't dare! If he touches me even once, I'll call the police to arrest him!"

Liu Weidong sneered, "I wouldn't dare touch it. What decent person would want to touch dog poop? Wouldn't that just dirty their hands?"

Luo Fang was furious, but she didn't dare to really do anything to Liu Weidong. She could only yell at her daughter, "Where did your boyfriend go? We're being bullied here, and he disappears when we need him. What's the use of a man like that!"

"Mom, Jianhua went to buy cigarettes. He'll be back to find us soon." Zhang Pei glared at Liu Weidong and Wang Shujuan and said, "When Jianhua comes back, I'll have him arrest all the people who bullied us and take them back to the town's police station to teach them a lesson!"

Luo Fang said fiercely, "That's more like it. From now on, our family will be the relatives of police station staff. We're not people that just anyone can bully!"

Just then, a young man hurried over, and Zhang Pei exclaimed happily, "Mom, Jianhua is back!"
