Chapter 188 Wang Shujuan's Old Classmate

Startled, Wang Shujuan turned her head and frowned slightly.

This woman's name is Zhang Pei, and she was Wang Shujuan's junior high school classmate. She has a very ordinary appearance and is half a head shorter than Wang Shujuan, but she weighs at least twice as much.

Back in school, Zhang Pei was jealous of Wang Shujuan's beauty and grades, and often gathered a group of people to bully her. Especially after learning that Wang Shujuan's family was poor and that she was an adopted child, she became even more ruthless, making her a nightmare during Wang Shujuan's school years.

So even Wang Shujuan, who has such a gentle personality, couldn't help but frown when she saw Zhang Pei, ruining her good mood for half a day.

However, Wang Shujuan was kind-hearted and at least didn't openly break ties with Zhang Pei. She just forced a smile and said, "Hello Zhang Pei, are you here to buy something too?"

"Yes, I'm here to buy some things for the wedding, preparing for the banquet on National Day!" Zhang Pei's chubby face was full of pride as she loudly told Wang Shujuan, "My boyfriend works at the town's police station, he's a government employee, and he earns more than forty yuan a month!"

Zhang Pei was clearly showing off, which made Liu Weidong secretly amused. He had the nerve to talk about earning just over forty yuan a month? He couldn't even be bothered with that kind of income.

Although Wang Shujuan is usually quite frugal, she didn't take this small amount of money too seriously and nodded slightly, saying, "Oh, that's good."

But this nonchalant attitude infuriated Zhang Pei. She looked Wang Shujuan, who was dressed plainly, up and down and said to her with a face full of contempt, "You're still farming in the countryside, aren't you? I heard that farmers' incomes have increased now. Can you make two hundred a year?"

Wang Shujuan was an honest person. She gently shook her head and said, "No, our village still calculates work points. After a year of hard work, we can only get seventy or eighty yuan at most."

"Oh dear, that's all the money you have? What can you do with that these days?" Zhang Pei became even more smug, glancing at Wang Shujuan with an air of superiority. "Things in this mall are all expensive. You can't afford anything here with the little money you earn. You should go back to the supply and marketing cooperative in town. That's where you should be. Hehehe!"

Liu Weidong frowned. This woman was far too rude. How dare she mock his sister like that? He had to teach her a lesson!

On the contrary, Wang Shujuan, who has a good temper, was not angry. She just smiled and said, "I just came with my brother to take a look. We don't necessarily have to buy anything."

Wang Shujuan's reaction made Zhang Pei think that she was still as easy to bully as she was back in school, so she went even further and said, "Wang Shujuan, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you can't afford it, don't come here and cause trouble. There are already so many people in the mall, isn't it annoying!"

Seeing that the woman was going too far, Liu Weidong stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Speak more politely. This mall doesn't belong to you. Why can't we come here?"

Zhang Pei was startled and took a half step back, glaring at Liu Weidong with disgust. She said, "Farmers have such poor manners. Who are you trying to scare? Do you want to hit someone?"

Fearing that her younger brother would get into trouble, Wang Shujuan quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Weidong, don't lower yourself to the level of this kind of person."

Liu Weidong frowned and said, "I can't just stand by and watch others bully you!"

"Tch, so what if I bully you?" Zhang Pei said nonchalantly, "You're just two farmers, my boyfriend works for the town's police station!"

Just then, a middle-aged woman came over and asked Zhang Pei with a look of doting affection, "Peipei, who are you talking to?"

"It's them!" Zhang Pei raised her chin at Liu Weidong and Wang Shujuan and said, "Mom, do you remember Wang Shujuan, who was the poorest in the class back then? She actually came here to join in the fun! I said a few words to her, but her unruly younger brother still wouldn't have it, and he's yelling at me right now!"

The middle-aged woman, Luo Fang, was Zhang Pei's biological mother. She was immediately displeased when she heard that someone was bullying her precious daughter.

Luo Fang looked Wang Shujuan up and down, her face full of disgust, and said, "Hmph, with that vixen look, she's definitely not a decent person!"

Liu Weidong was so angry he almost laughed. His own daughter was ugly, yet she accused other pretty girls of being immoral. He never expected there to be such a shameless person!

This time, Liu Weidong couldn't hold back any longer. He sneered and said, "Heh, if only dark-skinned, short, fat people who look like tar barrels are considered decent people, then I'd rather the people around me be dishonest!"

Zhang Pei is not only plain-looking but also has dark skin, and her figure is, to put it mildly, disappointing. Anyone could tell that Liu Weidong was referring to her.

These words were truly hilarious. Not only could Wang Shujuan not suppress her laughter, but even several customers around her smiled. One young man, always eager for a good laugh, burst out laughing and gave Liu Weidong a thumbs up.

As for Luo Fang and Zhang Pei, they were furious. Luo Fang immediately put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You little brat, how dare you laugh at my daughter's ugliness! Do you know what my son-in-law does? Believe me or not, I'll have him arrest you!"

Liu Weidong's face darkened as he said, "I was just talking about the standards of a decent person, I didn't mention your daughter at all. You'd better watch your mouth, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Liu Weidong was already very displeased that Luo Fang and her daughter dared to treat Wang Shujuan this way, and he was looking for an excuse to teach them a lesson. If this old woman dared to continue her insolent insults, Liu Weidong wouldn't hold back!

Seeing the muscles on Liu Weidong's arms, Zhang Pei was also a little scared. She quickly tugged at Luo Fang and said, "Mom, we city people shouldn't lower ourselves to the level of these country bumpkins. Let's go buy some clothes!"

Luo Fang glanced at Wang Shujuan deliberately and said, "Yes, let's go buy clothes. A single piece of clothing here costs tens of yuan, making some people envious but unable to afford it. Hehe, poor bastards!"

Liu Weidong was at a loss for words when faced with the mother and daughter's inexplicable self-confidence, so he simply smiled at Wang Shujuan and said, "Sister, let's go shopping for clothes too!"

Wang Shujuan naturally wouldn't refuse, so the two quickly arrived at the clothing counter next door.

Although Liu Weidong found the clothing styles in state-run department stores somewhat conservative, they were just right for Wang Shujuan. As she was carefully selecting her clothes, Zhang Pei squeezed in beside her, clearly doing it on purpose.

"Comrade, could you please let me take a look at this dress?" Zhang Pei instructed the sales clerk before Wang Shujuan could, and deliberately glanced at her, saying, "Some people simply don't have any money. You'd better make sure you see them clearly, and don't let them cause trouble!"

This woman is still causing trouble. Liu Weidong pointed to the clothes behind the counter and said, "Salesperson, please wrap up all the clothes except for this one and that one!"
