Chapter 31 Snobbish

Lu Mengjie was about to continue to ask questions when an old lady came from the street and went straight to the stall.

"Shuko, stop talking, there are people who come to buy things," the hawkers gathered together and dispersed in an instant, and all returned to their stalls.

"Mengjian, let's go. Maybe they are not talking about Mr. Lin. Besides, Mr. Lin was fine when he left the village." Seeing Lu Mengjian standing in a daze, Aunt Li had to pull her to another place.

The old lady turned over a few cabbages tremblingly and said without her front teeth, "Shunzi, you made it up here again. You know how to make up stories to frighten some little girl. No wonder you can't find a daughter-in-law when you are so old!"

"Mother-in-law, I'm not talking nonsense. It's all spread all over the city before it came to me. Besides, I don't find a daughter-in-law to eat alone and the whole family is not hungry. How convenient it is. You also said that I asked you to help me be a matchmaker. I don't even see the shadow of a little daughter-in-law!" Shunzi stuffed a few cabbages directly into the old lady's hand with a hippie smile, "These vegetables will be given directly to you as money for future matchmaking."

The old lady took the dish and grinned her mouth without her front teeth. "You don't have a good shape all day. You just want to buy a daughter-in-law with a few cabbages. You have a good calculation! In the future, don't talk about something all day long. You will know how to make it up all day long. Which little daughter-in-law dares to talk to you.

"Oh, mother-in-law, what I said today is true. I swear to God that this was said by a brother who worked in the Lin family!" Shunzi vowed to raise his left hand, but was slapped by the old lady.

"What's the oath, but the young master of the Lin family is really pitiful at such a young age..." The old lady sighed sadly and turned away.

Lu Mengji's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he was pulled away for a long time. When he looked back, he found that he had walked only 100 meters, but he was out of breath and found a stone on the roadside to sit down.

"Aunuch Li, do you think it's true..."

"Bah, pooh," Aunt Li suddenly covered Lu Mengjian's mouth and pretended to spit on the ground. "Mengjian, don't talk nonsense. Don't worry, I think Mr. Lin must be fine. Maybe he was already waiting at home when we got home. Besides, how can Mr. Lin have something to do with the Lin family?

However, Lu Mengzhi knew that Lin Daimo, regardless of his weak body, groped into the city early in the morning and even fainted halfway, all because he heard the news of Stone Records. Today, the Lin family in the population is exactly the Lin family of Stone Records, and Lin Daimo also left home three days ago. How can all this be just a coincidence!

Unexpectedly, a person who has lived together for so long is a living life, but for a few days since then, the yin and yang have been separated, which is really difficult for Lu Mengji to accept.

But looking at Aunt Li's concerned eyes, Lu Mengjian had to cheer up and squeeze out a smile, "That is, our husband has always been blessed. Besides, how can we believe this kind of market rumor? Let's go shopping first. It's almost noon now. My feet are weak. If I walk slowly, I may not be able to go back until dark!"

"That's right, I remember there is a cloth shop nearby. Let's buy cloth first, buy cloth and then go there to have a look. The salt at home is almost gone, and we have to add more." Aunt Li frowned and touched the purse in her arms. Last night, when Zhong'er heard that she was going to enter the city, she was excited and stupid. After laughing all night, he talked in his sleep and called meat buns, and the saliva flowed a pillow.

But pork is so expensive. After buying the cloth, add some other things. I'm afraid that the copper plate in the purse can't even buy a or two pieces of pork. Although Li Dazhuang gritted his teeth and took out the small half of silver stored in the cabinet, he was put back by Aunt Li. When he passed by the pork stall, he couldn't help looking a few more. The entangled look It was completely taken in the eyes by Lu Mengji.

Not long after leaving, I came to a cloth shop. The door was a little simple, but there was another universe in the store.

Large bundles of cloth are stacked on the counter. Most of the cloths near the door are mainly gray and black, and the price is cheaper, but the more you go in, the more colorful the color is, but they are all rough cloths.

Aunt Li stood at the door, touched the gray one for a while, and looked at the black one for a while. She hesitated and pulled Lu Mengjian, "Mengjian, come and have a look. Is it better to buy this for Zhonger's father or black one?"

"Gray, it won't be too conspicuous if it is stained with dust," Lu Mengjian pointed to the gray one, but thought about what color of clothes to make for Lin Daimo. Li Dazhuang has been in the field all year round. Naturally, he doesn't pay so much attention to it. As long as he is strong enough to wear, it is enough, but Lin Daimo is not like these rough people. Although he is no longer a handsome young master in that family, he still dares not careless about his appearance, which makes Lu Mengjie a little embarrassed.

While Aunt Li chose the cloth for Zhong'er, Lu Mengjian took a few more steps in, but still did not have a good cloth.

At the end, he found that there was a staircase leading upstairs. Lu Mengji picked up his dress and was about to go up, but was stopped by the clerk guarding him.

"This little lady, the second floor of our store is not open to the public." The little man looked at Lu Mengjian's simple dress, his eyes were full of contempt, and his nostrils almost said to the sky.

Lu Mengji thought that the second floor was the place where the store lived. Knowing that it was presumptuous, he hurriedly apologized and returned to the store. However, when she was about to choose the right cloth, a woman came from the store, followed by two girls and went straight to the stairs, without looking at the rough cloth next to the road.

When the little clerk just saw the people coming, he nodded with a smile and bowed and said, "Oh, Miss Wen, why did you come in person? Today, you happened to have a few good Jiangnan silk and satins. Miss Wen came by coincidence. Please go upstairs quickly."

Miss Wen snorted, twisted her body and went upstairs. The girl behind her followed her left and right, leaving the man who licked her face behind.

After seeing the three people go upstairs, the little man stood aside again. When he saw people asking about the price, he also looked indifferent. Seeing Lu Mengjian coming, he simply turned his eyes directly to other places.

"Brother, didn't you just say that the second floor is not open to the public? Why can I see that lady can go upstairs directly?" Lu Mengjian has seen a lot about this kind of bullying of the poor and loving the rich. He didn't expect to have such a snab in such a small shop. He couldn't help but be angry and couldn't help arguing.

Seeing that it was the poor woman who tried to go to the second floor, the clerk snorted angrily, "The second floor is full of precious cloth. People like you, I'm afraid they can't afford to pay for it if they get dirty!"

At noon, there were very few guests in the store, and the clerk's voice was particularly loud in the quiet cloth shop, causing everyone to look at it.

"Ha ha, people like us? I don't think the cloth I wear is much different from the one I wear. Such a big tone makes people think that the little brother is a rich man. So it seems that he is just one of our kind of people. Lu Mengji stood up straight, half a head taller than the little guy.

"Well, are you in charge of whether I'm a rich man? If you can't afford it, get out of here. What are you talking about here!" When the little man looked at Lu Mengji's posture, he suddenly felt that he was not confident, but he still forced to drive Lu Mengji out of the house.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Li hurriedly ran over to hold Lu Mengjian and laughed at the clerk, "Don't be angry, this little brother. I apologized to you on behalf of this wife. Your adult doesn't remember the villain, and she is still ignorant."

"Aunt, you are really good at joking. She is still ignorant, and I don't know whether she really doesn't know people or her brain is not good." They all said that they would reach out and not hit the smiling people, but the little guy still looked viciously and sarcastically. Aunt Li listened, her face changed from red to blue, and she couldn't help pulling her face down.

Seeing that the little guy didn't know what was good or bad, Lu Mengjian calmed down and mocked the corners of his mouth, "Well, I don't want to go down the steps. It seems that the little brother likes to climb high along the pole. In this case, let you climb enough and see who falls harder in the end!"

"Mengjian, forget it, let's go. We ordinary people can't afford this kind of thing," Aunt Li pulled Lu Mengjian without worry and whispered, but Lu Mengjian didn't move at all.

"Man, call your boss. I'd like to see how such a well-known old store can be so rude to customers. Isn't it true that the store bullies customers?" Lu Mengji walked slowly to the counter, his tone was not slow, and his calm expression was like that of an ordinary passer-by.

The clerk in front of the counter saw a lot and explained to Lu Mengjian with a smile on his face, "It's really unfortunate that our shopkeeper has gone out, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Girl, why don't you choose a few pieces of cloth first? This is ours today. However, there are rules in our store. Only members of our store can go up to the second floor. I wonder if the girl has the brand of our Yuxiu Cloth Workshop? If there is, it will be easy to do, but if not, I'm afraid the girl can only pick some cloth on our first floor.

"I didn't expect that there would be a membership system in this era. These people's thoughts are quite advanced," Lu Mengji secretly thought about it. However, in this way, it is more difficult for him to step down. It's only because he was angry for a moment and out of proportion. Now it's difficult to ride a tiger, he can only take it one by one.

"Oh, I don't know what conditions are required to apply for a membership card of your cloth workshop?" Lu Mengjian only used to apply for a membership card in a big mall. It was enough to hand in his ID card and give some work capital fees, so he asked lightly. Unexpectedly, Aunt Li pulled herself aside with a frightened face, "Are you crazy?"

Then the smiling clerk raised his voice slightly and said, "If you spend more than 1,000 taels a year in our store, you can get a special silver medal. With this medal, you can enter the second floor for consumption. Of course, you can also spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a medal. There are still several branches in Pulan City, and you can also enjoy the discount in our store with this medal.

"Do you dare to ask the girl if you want to buy it directly with 100 taels of silver, or..."
