He Yushui stood in front of the counter, frowned slightly, and thought seriously for a while.

She was engaged in a fierce struggle in her heart. On the one hand, there was the desire for beauty, and on the other hand, there were realistic economic considerations.

Finally, she bit her lip and said to the salesperson again: "Then give me a box of vanishing cream, no pearl cream for now."

When the salesperson heard what He Yushui said, a look of contempt appeared on his face.

She took out the vanishing cream from the counter slowly, her movements were extremely lazy, as if she was deliberately delaying time.

She sneered at He Yushui with disdain. At the same time, she also taunted him in a low voice:

"Humph, poor bastard. I knew you couldn't afford it, but you kept asking."

Although her voice was very soft, it was clearly heard by He Yushui in this relatively quiet supply and marketing cooperative.

When He Yushui heard this, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her heart. Her face turned red like a ripe apple.

Her eyes flashed with anger, and she asked angrily:

"What did you say? Who can't afford it? Say it again."

Her voice, trembling slightly with anger, echoed in the air.

The saleswoman looked at He Yushui nonchalantly, with a hint of impatience on her face. She snorted and said:

"I didn't say anything. What did I say? Can you please stop making noise here? Do you think this is your village? Can you have some manners?"

Her tone was full of arrogance and prejudice, as if He Yushui was an unreasonable person.

He Yushui was so angry when she saw that she was still blaming him. Tears were flashing in her eyes, which were caused by grievance and anger.

She never thought that she would suffer such an insult just because she came to buy something.

She bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears flow down. Her body trembled slightly, showing her extreme anger and grievance in her heart.

Although He Yushui felt aggrieved, he still stubbornly retorted:

"I heard it all. You clearly said that I couldn't afford it."

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit.

She couldn't stand being insulted and belittled for no reason, especially in such a public place.

The saleswoman was even more confident. She crossed her arms, raised her chin, and said loudly:

"Then am I wrong? You just can't afford it. If you can afford it, why don't you buy it?"

Her tone was full of provocation and arrogance, as if she was in absolute right.

She completely disregarded He Yushui's feelings and only thought about gaining the upper hand in the argument.

The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, attracting the attention of many people. The customers around stopped what they were doing and looked over here curiously.

Some people were whispering, talking about this sudden quarrel; others looked sympathetic, wondering why the rain was standing up for them.

Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo were selecting goods in another part of the supply and marketing cooperative. When they heard the noise, they quickly put down what they were holding and walked over quickly.

Wang Jianguo was anxious, worried that He Yushui would be bullied. When he saw He Yushui crying, his anger instantly flared up.

He hurried forward and asked He Yushui softly:

"What's wrong with the rain? Why are you crying?"

His voice was soft and concerned, his eyes filled with worry.

Before He Yushui could say anything, the salesperson said angrily:

"Who knows why she was crying? I didn't do anything to her. She cried on her own."

There was no trace of guilt on her face, instead she looked justified, as if she was the victim and He Yushui was the one who was making trouble for no reason.

When Wang Jianguo heard the salesperson's words, he glared at her angrily. His eyes were full of anger and majesty, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

The saleswoman was startled by Wang Jianguo's look and immediately stopped talking timidly. She lowered her head and dared not look Wang Jianguo in the eye again.

She knew she was in trouble, and she began to regret her impulsive behavior.

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's tearful face, his heart full of pity, and he continued to ask softly:

"Rainwater, don't cry, tell me what happened."

His voice was gentle yet firm, as if conveying a kind of strength to He Yushui, letting her know that she was not alone in facing these grievances.

He Yushui gently wiped her tears with her hands, trying to calm herself down. She slowly said to Wang Jianguo:

"I wanted to buy a box of pearl cream and vanishing cream. I asked her how much it cost, but she ignored me at first."

"I asked her twice more before she told me the price very reluctantly."

"Then I said I just wanted a box of vanishing cream, and she said I was poor and couldn't afford it, and she looked down on me."

There was a slight tremor in her voice. Recalling what had just happened, the grievance in her heart surged up again.

Before Wang Jianguo could open his mouth, Zhao Shuzhuo couldn't help but speak first. His face was full of anger, and his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction with the salesperson.

"You are a salesman. You work for the country and serve the people. How can you look down on the people? It is wrong for you to do this."

His words were powerful and full of justice. He could not tolerate the salesperson's unfair behavior and felt that she had violated her duties and mission.

When the salesperson saw that Zhao Shuzhuo was wearing glasses and looked gentle and polite, he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but became even more arrogant.

She curled her lips and said disdainfully:

"What's wrong with me serving the people? You guys buy things, and if you buy them, I will serve you. If you can't afford it, you still pretend to be rich."

Her tone was full of sarcasm and contempt, as if she was mocking the poverty and powerlessness of Zhao Shuzhuo and the others.

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard these words, he felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain himself. His face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged slightly.

He pointed at the salesperson, speechless with anger. He had never met such an unreasonable person.

The anger and helplessness in his heart intertwined together, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

He felt that his reasoning was completely useless in front of this salesperson, as she simply wouldn't listen to any advice or criticism.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo stood up resolutely. Wang Jianguo has never been a good person to talk to.

He has a strong and resolute character. He will never sit idly by when encountering unfair things, especially when it comes to He Yushui's business.

He walked to the counter with a firm step, his eyes revealing a sense of majesty. He said loudly to the salesperson:

"Then I'll buy some things and ask you to serve me. Bring this girl ten boxes of pearl cream, ten boxes of vanishing cream, and ten boxes of clam oil."

His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the supply and marketing cooperative, as if announcing his determination to everyone.
