Mrs. Fu turned to the crowd. "Come on, everyone, you be the judge. My son-in-law is away on a mission, so he had Xiao Yang get us some things in advance. What’s so wrong with that?"
"She’s got some nerve, demanding Mr. Yang give her all that food for free. Tell me, can you just give things like that away for free?"
The onlookers now understood what was happening.
They all turned to look at Mrs. Hao with contempt.
Good heavens, could you really give that away for free?
But Mrs. Fu wasn’t done. She declared loudly, "To put it seriously, her behavior is tantamount to undermining the socialist cause."
When Mrs. Hao heard this, she panicked. "Y-You’re talking nonsense! I did not! How was I supposed to know you paid for it—"
Fu Mingxue stared at her. "Didn’t Mr. Yang make it clear to you earlier? Do I need to get him over here to confront you?"
Now Mrs. Hao was completely flustered.
"Confront me about what? You’re the ones who weren’t clear from the start! Fine, since it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t hold it against you."
With that, she quickly ran back home.
Her flight only confirmed that she had, in fact, been lying just now.
The crowd: ...?
Fu Mingxue went back inside, but Mrs. Fu stayed behind and told the crowd about what happened on the train.
They were going to be living here for a long time, after all. She couldn’t let people misunderstand her daughter.
Fu Mingxue paid no mind to these matters. She took inventory of all the delivered goods and recorded them.
She would tell Qin Wenhao about it when he returned.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Fu came back.
The angry expression was gone from her face.
But she was still indignant. "What kind of people are they!"
"Mom, don’t be angry. Look at all this meat. We can make a nice stew tonight. Tomorrow, we can ask Sister Wang next door where the supply and marketing co-op is, and then go buy some more things."
"Alright." Mrs. Fu agreed that a good meal was in order.
