Chapter 18 A Daughter-in-Law Like This Is Unbearable
Upon entering the warehouse, Lin Qingping knew that these were clothes that had been piling up for who knows how long.
Indeed, it was piled up like a mountain, and it even had a unique smell that comes from being neglected for a long time.
"Bottle, this section chief is a swindler. These are all clothes from last year," Dugen whispered to her.
Lin Qingping glanced at Du Gen, not expecting that this guy was actually quite clever.
"It's okay, just pick one with me."
Fortunately, the clothes were neatly bundled and categorized.
Lin Qingping picked out a piece to look at, and if she liked it, she let Du Gen take the whole bundle away.
After browsing around, Lin Qingping selected about several hundred pieces of clothing, dragged them all to the warehouse entrance, and then rushed off to find the head of the sales department.
Gu Youlian was going crazy watching this scene.
She thought that she and her sister-in-law would only buy one or two items to wear, but they bought hundreds! Even if they wore a different one every day, they still wouldn't be able to wear them all in a year!
Thinking that this sister-in-law was the type to take things from her own family, I immediately guessed that she might be planning to distribute dozens of pieces of clothing to everyone.
How can we let her squander her brother's money like this!
Gu Youlian immediately sat on the piles of clothes and started crying, forbidding Lin Qingping from buying any more, or she would send a telegram to her brother!
Lin Qingping didn't care about her at the moment and went straight to the office building.
Gu Youlian grabbed her sleeve to stop her from leaving, crying and shouting, "How much money does my brother have in total! He's just a wage earner, he's reluctant to spend it all, and he gave it all to you. If you're going to waste it like this, I... I'd rather hang myself here today than let you spend money like this!"
Lin Qingping grew a little impatient, flicking her sleeves as she said to Du Gen, "Keep an eye on your wife!"
In her previous life, Lin Qingping was the president of a chain restaurant, and she was used to being decisive and domineering in her career. After being reborn, her words naturally carried an air of authority.
Du Gen was taken aback by her shout, and he vaguely guessed what Lin Qingping was planning to do. He immediately pulled Gu Youlian off Lin Qingping and hissed, "Don't make a sound!"
Gu Youlian was used to obeying Du Gen's every word. No matter how angry she was, she was helpless against Du Gen's tight grip on her. She didn't dare to cry out for fear of being scolded by Du Gen. Wiping away her tears, she followed Lin Qingping away, thinking bitterly, "Lin Qingping won't be able to take all these hundreds of clothes back to her parents' home! Otherwise, I'll definitely urge my brother to divorce her!"
Lin Qingping has already returned to the sales department.
The section chief's surname is Fu.
"Section Chief Fu, you're supposed to be the head of the sales department of a major garment factory, are you just going to fool the common people like this?" Lin Qingping said with a sullen face, taking the initiative.
The section chief's attitude wasn't good either, "What kind of talk is that?"
Lin Qingping threw the clothes in her hand on the ground. "Look at this for yourself! What kind of quality is this?"
The two pieces of clothing on the ground were both covered in mold.
"You, a big factory, are selling us this kind of stuff?" Lin Qingping said indignantly. "Are you looking down on us because we're farmers, thinking we're unsophisticated and easy to fool?"
"No! There's no such thing..." With the moldy clothes right in front of him, the section chief's confidence waned.
"You're only bullying us because we're from the countryside and we're all women! Look at these clothes, they're from several years ago!" Lin Qingping rebuked angrily, her eyes reddening.
Dugan: ? ? ? A lesbian? Then what am I?
The section chief was a little embarrassed by Lin Qingping's questioning, so he could only say, "Miss, you want autumn and winter clothes, but we haven't made this year's yet, have we? We only have last year's."
“These aren’t from last year!” Lin Qingping declared emphatically.
"So, do you still want these clothes? Or are you waiting for new ones?" the section chief had no choice but to ask.
"We definitely won't have time to wait for a new one!" Lin Qingping pretended to hesitate for a long time before finally making a painful decision. "We still want to buy it, but you definitely have to give us a discount on the price!"
The section chief thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "No problem."
In the end, Lin Qingping got a price lower than she had imagined. Winter wool coats were only one yuan each, and other items were even cheaper than she had imagined.
Lin Qingping took 500 pieces of various styles.
Now transportation has become a problem.
The section chief decided to go all the way and agreed to let them take a hundred items back first. He would find a way to send the rest to their county.
Lin Qingping was overjoyed and thanked the section chief.
The section chief was both amused and exasperated. "Isn't it because I was afraid you'd accuse me of bullying a female colleague again?"
Dugan: ??? He's such a big guy standing here, nobody saw him anyway!
Carrying a hundred pieces of clothing is not a difficult task for the four of them.
To be honest, Du Gen was lazy when it came to farm work, but he was very enthusiastic when shopping for clothes with Lin Qingping, carrying the most clothes by himself.
The four people, along with a hundred pieces of clothing, traveled by car and bus all the way to the town. They borrowed a flatbed cart, and the group took turns pushing the clothes back to Gujia Village amidst Gu Youlian's occasional wails. By the time they arrived back at Gujia Village, most of the villagers had turned off their lights and gone to sleep.
The Gu family elders were also included.
Hearing the noise, I put on my clothes and came out. When I saw so many clothes, I was startled.
Gu Youlian then pulled Liu Fen into the house to talk.
She didn't dare say it in front of Lin Qingping, and Du Gen was also very stubborn about this matter. She didn't dare to disobey her husband. When she got home, she told him about Lin Qingping spending all her money to buy 500 pieces of clothing.
Liu Fen broke down upon hearing this.
"Mom, what's gotten into Chengzi? He lets his wife manage all the money like this. She's such a spendthrift! She's not the kind of person who can manage a household!" Gu Youlian cried again as she thought about it.
Enraged, Liu Fen rushed out and saw Lin Qingping, her second sister, and Du Gen guarding the pile of clothes. She picked up a pair of scissors and squeezed through.
She really hates it!
Her son's hard-earned money was all spent by this spendthrift woman. She had never seen anyone spend money like this in her entire life!
Liu Fen picked up the scissors to cut the clothes, which made Lin Qingping shout in a panic, "Mom, what are you doing?" Liu Fen suddenly realized that if she cut the clothes, not only would she not get the money back, but she would also lose the clothes!
But what do those country folk need so many clothes for?
Liu Fen was in despair. She squatted on the ground and wailed, crying to the Gu family's ancestors, "How am I going to face Chengzi's grandparents after this?! How could I have married such a spendthrift! Chengzi, what kind of taste did you have? What kind of evil spirit did you fall for?!"
“Mom…” Lin Qingping wanted to explain to Liu Fen.
But Liu Fen wouldn't listen. She called out to Gu Juncheng's father again, "Old man! What are we going to do? How are we going to live like this? You should step in and send her back to the Lin family! We can't afford to serve a daughter-in-law like that!"
Father-in-law Gu Dafu puffed on his welding pipe, sighing incessantly.
Lin Qingping's younger sister had remained silent the whole time. She only listened to her older sister and did whatever her sister told her to do. Now she was also scared and clung tightly to her older sister.
