Some people praised Li Zhenhe as a good young man and a good son-in-law.

Some people were also astonished, claiming that they had never heard of anyone willingly spending so much money to subsidize their father-in-law's family before.

Liu Jia thought about Zhou Caixia and almost laughed.

If Zhou Caixia saw this scene, wouldn't she eat me alive?

If it weren't for his terrible idea, the Zhou family wouldn't be being criticized like this.

However, Liu Jia couldn't think about that right now; she just wanted to spend the cloth coupons she had as quickly as possible.

"Alright, all of you, shut up. It's a joyous occasion for a wedding, why do you have to upset others?"

After scolding those who complained about sour grapes, the salesperson pointed directly to a piece of blue fabric and began to speak.

"This color, right? Tall people use eight feet, short people use seven feet, it's the same, I'm not going to argue with you guys about ten meters!"

The salesperson spoke crisply and concisely.

Liu Jia nodded vigorously, like he was pounding garlic.

"Sister, you are such a kind person. If we were to buy it, we really wouldn't know how to calculate it. You are truly serving the people. We'll get you a banner when it's appropriate!"

Liu Jia's promises were so convincing that the after-sales staff's eyes narrowed into slits after hearing them.

Anyone who tried to say something was silenced by the waiter's sharp glare.

Then, people heard the sound of cloth being torn apart.

"Big sister, the bride needs some more floral fabric."

Taking advantage of the sales clerk's good mood, Liu Jia hurriedly added another sentence.

"Okay, I'll pull out whatever you like in a bit."

Seeing how enthusiastic the waiter was, Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe felt relieved.

After running more than 20 miles, the trip was definitely worthwhile.

If we could spend all our cloth coupons here, we wouldn't need to go to the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Just then, Liu Jia suddenly heard a sharp voice.

"Buying so much fabric at once, are you scalping tickets?"

As soon as these words came out.

The scene was quiet.

The people who had been discussing earlier looked over at Liu Jia again.

Liu Jia was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wished he could retort on the spot.

But in order not to let others see anything, Liu Jia slowly turned around and asked a question in feigned confusion.

"What ticket scalping?"

"You're acting like nothing's wrong, but I think there's something fishy going on between you two! How could an ordinary family suddenly come up with so many cloth ration coupons?"

After saying that, the man raised his voice and said, "You guys look like ticket scalpers!"

His words immediately labeled Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe as villains.

Just a moment ago, many people thought that the two young men in front of them must come from wealthy families to be able to buy so many things at once.

Now, the thought of ticket scalpers evokes a sense of disgust in people's eyes.

In everyone's eyes, ticket scalpers make money by reselling tickets. Some people resell tickets directly, while others buy goods with the issued tickets and then resell them to people.

Seeing Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe buying so much fabric, people instinctively imagined that they must have bought the fabric and then resold it at a high price!

They're cheating ordinary people, cheating the working class!

shameful!

“Hey, you can’t just throw this label on me like that. My brother borrowed every penny he could to scrape together these cloth coupons so he could marry the girl he loves.”

"You've dismissed someone with just a few words. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"We're having a wedding in two days, so we hope you'll be kind with your words, Sister Pang."

Although Liu Jia spoke with a smile, every word he uttered felt like a knife stabbing into the other person.

Liu Jia kept calling her "fat older sister," which drew attention to the speaker's physique.

I must say, this body is quite fleshy and has a certain weight to it.

In the crowd, someone's child said something.

"This person is really fat, a huge fat man!"

Tong Yan Wuji.

Many people don't take children's words to heart and treat them all as jokes.

However, the chubby woman suddenly exploded!

"So what if I'm fat? Does my extra weight mean I'm eating or drinking from your company? We're talking about ticket scalping right now, so stop trying to steer the conversation away from other topics!"

"I don't care whether you're married or not. As sales clerks here, we have the right to discover and stop illegal activities. Who knows if you're using marriage as a pretext to resell goods!"

"Xiao Li, don't give them these fabrics yet!"

The saleswoman who had just bought the fabric for Liu Jia looked embarrassed after hearing this.

"Sister Niu, the fabric has already been torn off. If we don't give it to them, we can only sell it as scraps, and at this price..."

The salesperson stopped mid-sentence.

But the meaning is already very clear.

Everyone knows that a whole bolt of cloth has one price, while scraps of cloth have another.

The prices of these two types differ significantly.

If you were to sell the ten meters of cloth you just tore off as scraps, you would definitely lose money.

The salesperson didn't continue the conversation, but she was already starting to feel dissatisfied.

Since Sister Niu doesn't work at this counter, she naturally doesn't need to worry about the counter's profits or losses.

It's easy for them to talk when they're not in the situation; they always feel justified in giving advice to others.

"Let's just use it as scraps of cloth, we have to uphold the policy!"

Liu Jia hadn't expected that everything would be fine just now, and then suddenly this thing would appear out of nowhere!

That's fucking infuriating!

There were already quite a few people watching when they were tearing the cloth.

Now, seeing the waiters clashing with them, some other shoppers nearby also came over.

Before long, everyone was crammed together.

Surrounded by layers of people, Li Zhenhe's forehead was covered in sweat.

He opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.

Left with no other choice, Li Zhenhe could only look to Liu Jia.

After coughing heavily twice, Liu Jia spoke in a cold voice.

"Since you keep saying you want to uphold the policy, don't you understand that you have no right to speak without investigation? What evidence do you have to say we're scalping votes?"

"I've already made myself very clear, yet you're still so relentless. Is this how you serve the people?"

"What, you're not planning to sell us the fabric today? Fine, you're not the only supply and marketing cooperative. We'll go buy some elsewhere right now!"

Liu Jia rolled her eyes coldly and turned to leave.

Before he could even steady himself, the woman called Sister Niu suddenly blocked Liu Jia's path.

Looking at the mountain-like size, Liu Jia was stunned.

"What do you want to do?"

"You can't leave, so why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty?"

The fat woman stared straight at Liu Jia.

Li Zhenhe stepped forward, puffing out his chest to protect Liu Jia.

"Hey you woman, what did we do to you? What are you going to do? You won't let me marry my wife!"

Neither side would back down, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.

Faced with the fat woman's rudeness, some people whispered among themselves.

"Who is this? How dare they be so arrogant? Are they really going to detain two grown men?"

"Maybe they really are here to buy fabric. When you get married, everything is very expensive. I've experienced this firsthand."

"Everyone's completely baffled, what exactly happened?"

As more and more people gathered, Liu Jia narrowed his eyes into slits.

"They won't let people buy anything or leave without any proof. It's like encountering robbers in broad daylight!"

"If you can explain what these tickets are all about, we'll let you go!"

The fat woman persisted, standing rooted to the spot without budging.

"I've already made myself clear. If you don't understand, then find someone who does!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying I can't understand human language? Well, you're bullying people in our supply and marketing cooperative!"

The fat woman was convinced that Liu Jia and his group were ticket scalpers, and she spoke somewhat hastily.

But everyone heard those two sentences clearly.

Clearly, the fat woman was being unreasonable.

Seeing this, Liu Jia shouted.

"Did you all see that? This person looks down on poor people. This shows class ideology! It's the dregs of capitalism!"

Liu Jia deliberately feigned anger.

The goal was to make the woman give up.

After Liu Jia shouted, quite a few people in the crowd started to speak up for him.

"If you're not going to sell anything, you might as well let them leave. You can't let them be unable to find a wife either!"

"Detaining someone based solely on guesswork is a bit too domineering."

Seeing everyone siding with Liu Jia, the fat woman turned red with anger.

"We have policies and regulations here. Anyone found scalping tickets will be severely punished!"

Liu Jia stretched out his neck and said confidently, "You keep talking about policies and regulations, but if you're so capable, show me the evidence!"

"Who gave you the right to accuse someone without any evidence?"

"You keep talking about serving the people, but this is bullying! You're trying to sow discord!"

Seeing the angry expressions on many people's faces, Liu Jia simply added fuel to the fire!

The plump woman was panting heavily. She pointed at the sales clerks next to her and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and surround them!"

The fat woman didn't think there was anything wrong with her labeling the two people in front of her.

But when she heard Liu Jia say that he wanted to create division, the fat woman immediately objected!

My own thoughts are sound, and I absolutely will not allow them to insult me ​​like this!

These days, ordinary people aren't just focused on these things!

If this matter isn't explained clearly today, I might very well be fired!

So, the fat woman pondered for a moment.

Even at the risk of criticism, I can't let these two men leave!

Liu Jia's goal, however, was to take the opportunity to leave.

For a time, the two sides were deadlocked.
