Chapter 6 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan

The manager's face immediately collapsed completely. Gray as ashes. She was just about to open her mouth. An old man next to him spoke first:

“The girl is right!”

“This kind of store must be dealt with!”

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Those two guys stood blocking the door like they were blocking the way for robbers.”

“It's too much!”

"Right!"

“Does forced buying and forced selling still make sense?”

The crowd immediately cheered in unison. Another layer of sweat appeared on the manager's forehead. This time it was cold sweat. See the situation is not good. The eldest girl tiptoed to sneak away. But as soon as I moved, I was caught.

“Where are you going to hide?”

Her whole body immediately stiffened. Standing in place, not daring to move. I walked in front of her. The distance was so close that she instinctively took half a step back.

"When you forced me to buy a three-metal set for your son, you weren't as evasive as you are now."

The eldest girl smiled wryly.

“It was you who was wrong…”

“You speak without thinking…”

“Don't take it personally with me…”

“Talk without thinking?”

I looked straight into her eyes.

"I recorded every sentence you said."

“'Bought tam kim for my cousin but kept finding reasons to refuse.'”

“'Let the neighbors see how embarrassed you are.'”

“Are those sentences also called slips of the tongue?”

The eldest girl opened her mouth. But couldn't say a word. My cousin stood next to me, muttering in a low voice:

“My mother was originally like that.”

“Don't let her do anything…”

I turned my head to look at him.

“Earlier, I chose a gold necklace and a gold ring and then showed it off everywhere…”

"Why didn't I see you say that was not a good trait?"

The cousin immediately bowed his head. I don't dare open my mouth anymore. The future sister-in-law's hand trembled. The jewelry bag fell to the ground. Gold bracelets and gold chains were rolling all over the floor. But no one bent down to pick it up. The crowd laughed again. The eldest girl stood in the middle of the circle. All around her were phones pointed at her. My ears were filled with gossip and ridicule. Her eyes continuously avoided. I just wish I could dig a hole and crawl into it. Maybe this whole life. She had never been so embarrassed. The manager cowered behind the counter. His face was as white as ash. The two male employees had long since hidden in the corner. The only thing missing is wanting to be invisible. My mother stood behind. From beginning to end, not a word was said. But I can feel it. The hand holding my wrist gradually relaxed. I rolled my eyes and looked around. Finally, he looked back at her.

“Don't you want all the neighbors to see?”

I stepped aside. Revealing behind is a crowded crowd.

“Everyone is here.”

Her lips trembled violently. His eyes suddenly turned red. Not because of injustice. But because of humiliation. Because I lost face. She choked for a long time. Finally came up with one sentence:

“I... I'm leaving now...”

No one prevents it. The eldest girl bowed her head and rushed out. The heel of the shoe hit the tile floor, making a clicking sound. So panicked that I crashed into the door frame without daring to stop. My cousin and future sister-in-law followed. Even the pile of jewelry lying on the ground did not dare to pick it up. The manager looked at the pile of gold on the floor. Look at me again. Lips moved a few times. In the end, I still couldn't say anything. I turned to look at my mother. Her eyes were also red. But the corners of his lips could not hide his smile.

“Do you still want to buy this bracelet?”

Mom lowered her head to look at the bracelet that had been on her wrist for nearly an hour. Then nodded vigorously. The voice was very quiet. But extremely steadfast. I laughed. Then turn to management. Every word is clear.

“This bracelet.”

“I pay the original price.”

“Pay now.”

The manager was stunned.

“Listen carefully.”

“Original price, not a penny missing.”

“But the three requests just now—”

I stared at her. No concessions.

“One thing cannot be missing.”

I scanned the payment code. The manager looks at the words Payment successful on the screen. His face contorted as if he had just swallowed a live fly. She was completely incomprehensible. The person just now was still tough to the end. Why turn back and pay immediately? She gave me the bill. Try to force a smile.

“Sir, please keep the receipt.”

“Twenty percent discount and silver jewelry giveaway still valid...”

“I don't need it.”

The smile on her face instantly froze.

“I pay the original price.”

“It's to give my mother peace of mind.”

I stuffed the receipt into my bag.

“But the dirty things your shop did today…”

“It has nothing to do with this bracelet.”

The facial muscles on the manager's cheeks jerked violently. The crowd has not yet dispersed. Many people continued to stand back to watch what happened next. Anyway, this is a good story. Who doesn't want to wait until the end? I looked at the manager.

“Three requests just now.”

“What do you think?”

The manager was silent for a few seconds. Face changes continuously. Finally, take a deep breath. Raise your chin slightly. Present a tough appearance.
