Chapter 5 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan

My mother held my hand tightly. Palms are sweaty. But the corners of her lips quietly curled up. A smile finally appeared in his eyes. I lowered my head and looked down at the counter. That golden bracelet still rests peacefully on her mother's wrist. Just saw the police off not long ago. The atmosphere in the gold shop had dropped to freezing level. The manager is still standing there. The sweat on his forehead dripped onto the floor. Creates a small wet streak. On the contrary, there were more and more people standing outside the door. The ladies walked around the shopping center. Mothers pushing baby strollers. Several students held milk tea in their hands. Everyone crowded outside the door, stretching their necks to look inside. The eldest girl stiffened in place. His face was sometimes blue, sometimes white. It looks even more colorful than the color palette. But the entrance was blocked by people. I opened my mouth for half a day and still couldn't utter a single word. On the contrary, the cousin and future sister-in-law reacted quite quickly. The two people bowed low and gradually crept to the edge of the crowd. One foot has already stepped out.

“Stop.”

My voice is not loud. But both of them seemed to be nailed to the ground. Immediately stiffened. My cousin turned to look at me. A forced smile is more unsightly than crying.

“Sister... we have something to do so let's go first...”

I took a step forward.

“I just had so much fun choosing the three needles.”

“Now I remember I have work?”

The future sister-in-law's face immediately turned pale. The hand clasped the jewelry bag tightly. Knuckles turn white. Can't even hold it. Putting it down is not enough. Finally, the eldest girl regained her composure a bit. She coughed twice. Try to reconcile. But the tone was weaker.

“Granddaughter…”

“The police also said it was just a misunderstanding.”

“How about we skip this?”

“Today it was you who was wrong.”

“Don't worry about it anymore…”

“Don't mind?”

I looked straight at her.

“When you sat on the ground and scolded me, you didn't feel embarrassed.”

The eldest girl's face turned as red as pig liver. Right at that moment. A lady who had been watching from the beginning couldn't bear it any longer. She said loudly:

“Oh my god, I watched it from start to finish!”

“You were so fierce just now!”

“If you open your mouth, you will force your niece to pay.”

“And say the whole sentence ‘does he dare not buy it?’”

“Are you pretending to be pitiful now?”

A young mother pushing a baby stroller also spoke up:

“That's right!”

“Just now, you scolded people for being unfilial in front of so many people.”

“Now look back and see who lost face.”

Someone held up the phone and turned it towards her. She panicked and covered her face with her hands. But I can cover my face. Can't hide the gossip around.

“Stop spinning!”

“Stop spinning!”

Her voice had completely broken. A young man wearing a hoodie walked up holding a phone.

“What if we don't film?”

“You were acting so hard just now.”

“Let's continue the story.”

“I posted on Douyin.”

“I already thought about the title.”

"The extreme relative forced the niece to pay money at the gold shop and ended up flipping the car."

“Guaranteed to be on trend!”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter. Her lips trembled. But I looked around at the phone pointing at me. In the end, I just had to swallow all my words back into my stomach. Only then did the manager dare to stand up straight. The sweat on my face has not yet been wiped away. She smiled even more unsightly than crying and walked forward.

“Ma'am…”

“Today was completely my fault.”

“I'm sorry to you and your aunt.”

“Or like this.”

“My aunt's gold bracelet Give me twenty percent off.”

“Give me another set of silver jewelry.”

“Can we just forget what happened today?”

“I didn't ask you to lower the price.”

The manager was immediately stunned.

“What did you say when I called the police? Have you forgotten?”

I looked at her.

“Forced consumption.”

“Restricting the physical freedom of others.”

“It's not like you can let it go if you reduce the price a little.”

The management's face changes constantly. She still tried to resist:

“So... what do you want?”

"The first."

I pointed to the stall.

“Publicly apologize.”

“Right here.”

“In front of everyone.”

“Tell me clearly how you helped my eldest aunt force me to pay.”

“Compensation for mental damage.”

“You guys scared my mother into becoming like this.”

“This debt must be accounted for.”

I glanced at the two male employees cowering at the door.

“What your store did today, I will simultaneously file a complaint with the market management agency and the Consumer Rights Protection Association.”

“How to handle it is their business.”
