Inside the service hall, large red characters were written on the walls behind each counter.

Tobacco, alcohol, and non-staple foods.

Daily necessities.

Fruits and vegetables.

Cloth shoes and hats.

Oil, salt, saccharin.

This indicates the types of goods that each counter is responsible for selling.

After entering the hall, Zhang Yun glanced around at the entire hall, which was a familiar scene that he often recalled in his previous life when he grew older.

Although it cannot be compared with supermarkets and shopping malls of later generations, this supply and marketing cooperative represents an era and carries the happy times of every farmer in that era.

Because the supply and marketing cooperatives were the monopolists of that era, and were the only legal places to sell goods, every family had to come to the supply and marketing cooperatives for their purchases. Naturally, a very important part of the happy memories of families in that era was the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Zhang Yun came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy gifts for a marriage proposal.

“When selling wild rabbits, some elderly people would exchange cloth coupons for wild rabbits. Now I have saved up 15 feet of cloth coupons.”

"Xuemei only has two sets of clothes, both of which are military green outfits worn by educated youth. We need to change her style."

Zhang Yun thought to himself and then decided that the first item he would buy was cloth.

In this era, people would buy their own fabric, take it to a tailor shop, and ask a tailor to sew their clothes.

So Zhang Yun went to the 'cloth and shoes' counter.

"Zhang Yun, it's you!"

Just as Zhang Yun arrived at the counter, a surprised voice rang out.

Zhang Yun looked over upon hearing the sound and was also startled, his expression immediately becoming complicated.

The person who spoke was Wang Lanzhi, Zhang Shengli's wife.

Zhang Yun should be called Second Sister-in-law.

However, Zhang Yun loathed Zhang Boshu's family, and upon seeing Wang Lanzhi, he was instantly reminded of his memories from his previous life.

Wang Lanzhi came from a good family; both her parents were government employees, so she joined the supply and marketing cooperative after she came of age.

Although she was just a sales clerk in a supply and marketing cooperative, the cooperative's unique nature meant that customers had to beg the sales clerks, which fostered in Wang Lanzhi a condescending and arrogant attitude.

Naturally, given how poor Zhang Yun's family was in his previous life, how could Wang Lanzhi possibly respect him? Every time she returned to the village on vacation, Wang Lanzhi would mock Zhang Yun with disdain.

"I'm here to buy fabric."

Zhang Yun said calmly that he did not want to say more to Wang Lanzhi. After all, the unbearable memories of his previous life made Zhang Yun extremely disgusted with this woman.

"You're buying fabric? Haha... Zhang Yun, you said you'd buy fabric!"

Wang Lanzhi burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of contempt.

Clearly, in Wang Lanzhi's mind, Zhang Yun's family was not capable of coming to buy fabric.

After all, in Jiuwan Village, it was difficult to earn enough work points to feed a family, let alone exchange them for cloth coupons.

Moreover, Zhang Yun's family was in debt, and any extra work points would definitely be converted into money to pay off their debts.

This is also because Wang Lanzhi hadn't returned to the village for a long time and was unaware of the changes that had occurred to Zhang Yun. She still judged Zhang Yun as penniless based on her old perspective.

"I really came to buy fabric."

Zhang Yun, of course, saw the contempt in Wang Lanzhi's eyes. He suppressed his temper and emphasized it again.

"You're really pushing your luck, aren't you? Get out of here, don't interfere with my work."

Wang Lanzhi instantly flew into a rage. She was convinced that Zhang Yun had come to make fun of her, and she shouted it out without any politeness.

Get out...

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun, with his good temper, could no longer tolerate it.

"Open your dog eyes! Isn't this a cloth ration coupon?!"

Zhang Yun took all the cloth coupons out of his pocket, slammed them onto the counter, and shouted fiercely with his eyes wide open like a Vajra Arhat.

"You dare to scold me..."

Wang Lanzhi was furious when she heard the words "dog's eyes," but when her eyes fell on the cloth tickets on the counter, she was speechless with surprise.

It really is cloth ration coupons!

Wang Lanzhi quickly checked it and estimated in her mind that there were actually 15 feet of cloth ration coupons. She immediately showed an incredulous look and looked at Zhang Yun, speechless for a moment.

"Can I buy the fabric now?"

Zhang Yun sneered.

While the two were arguing and getting angry with each other, a large crowd had already gathered in the hall.

In fact, people gather here every day, and arguments often occur.

Just now, Zhang Yun and Wang Lanzhi shouted loudly, and everyone thought there was going to be a good show, so they all gathered around.

Seeing so many people staring at her as if she were a monkey, Wang Lanzhi became furious again.

"What cloth? You think you can buy cloth just because you have cloth coupons? Do you have a letter of introduction?"

"If you don't have it, get out!"

Wang Lanzhi was unwilling to admit defeat. As a saleswoman in the supply and marketing cooperative, she was always the one being begged to sell cloth. She couldn't stand Zhang Yun's tone, and she couldn't accept the reality that Zhang Yun had become rich.

So Wang Lanzhi deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Yun.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped in surprise, realizing that Wang Lanzhi was deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Yun.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun understood that Wang Lanzhi simply couldn't accept the reality of her newfound wealth; she was resentful and deliberately made things difficult for herself.

Since when do you need a letter of introduction to buy fabric?

A letter of introduction is required to purchase fabrics, which is usually for very rare or specially customized fabrics.

For civilian use of cloth, all you need is cloth coupons!

After saying this, Wang Lanzhi sneered smugly. She still had an arrogant demeanor. She was determined to make things difficult for Zhang Yun and refused to sell him the fabric.

Most people would be at a loss and furious in this situation, but they would be powerless against Wang Lanzhi.

However, Zhang Yun would never tolerate Wang Lanzhi.

Then Zhang Yun reached into his pocket again, slammed his hand heavily on the counter, and roared like a tiger.

Is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative here?

"Is this how your sales staff treat customers?"

"Is this how you serve the people?"

“I have 15 feet of cloth coupons, 120 jin of grain coupons, 15 jin of kerosene coupons, and 200 yuan in cash. I’m going to make a big purchase at your supply and marketing cooperative today. If you can’t even serve a big customer like me, how can you serve small customers?”

Zhang Yun became increasingly angry as he spoke, his barrage of questions echoing throughout the entire business hall.

Naturally, the crowd in the entire business hall was drawn over.

Even the people in the courtyard outside the business hall heard it and all crowded into the business hall.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers, everyone caught up in Zhang Yun's enthusiasm and started cursing.

After all, these people had been harassed or even beaten by these sales clerks in the past, and now that Zhang Yun was stepping in, they were happy to join in the commotion.

Wang Lanzhi stared blankly at the cloth coupons, grain coupons, kerosene coupons, and 20 "Great Unity" bills displayed on the counter; she was completely petrified.

Zhang Yun's wealth completely intimidated Wang Lanzhi.

The commotion in the business hall naturally forced the director of the supply and marketing cooperative to come out. If he hadn't come out to calm things down, the reputation of the supply and marketing cooperative for making things difficult for customers would have spread far and wide, and he would have been punished by the commune leaders.

"Quiet, quiet, I am Liu Sanbao, and I am here to serve this young comrade."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative hurriedly ran from the backyard to the business hall, arrived at the counter, pushed Wang Lanzhi aside, and looked at Zhang Yun with a smile.
