Chapter 107 Reporting to the Public Security Bureau
The Hongqi Brigade currently has no electricity, so the electrical appliances we buy are useless.

But bicycles, sewing machines and the like, these are also possible, right?

Gu Wan was immersed in it when suddenly a sharp voice came to his ears:

"Hey, Gu Xiang, you still have the nerve to continue working here."

It was mainly Gu Xiang's name that attracted Gu Wan's attention. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw another salesperson with eyes on top of his head whom she had met before at another counter in the supply and marketing cooperative.

She was no longer standing at the counter. Instead, she stopped Gu Xiang who was walking out of the office in the supply and marketing cooperative and glared at her fiercely.

During her time at the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Xiang heard a lot of similar sarcasm and ridicule, which she had previously ignored and tried her best to endure.

But at this moment, Gu Xiang's thoughts have changed, especially since her third sister-in-law and eldest niece are nearby, giving her endless strength.

Female colleague Cao Jiarong was looking at Gu Xiang with a smug look on her face. Suddenly, she saw Gu Xiang looking up and asked calmly:

"Is the supply and marketing cooperative owned by your family?"

Cao Jiarong was stunned for a moment, and responded intuitively: "Of course not."

"Since it's not your family's business, what qualifications do you have to decide whether I can continue to work in the supply and marketing cooperative?" As Gu Xiang spoke, there was an unprecedented glow on her face.

This made Cao Jiarong, who already disliked her to the point of losing her mind, so angry that she was furious. He then thought of what his good sister Sun Damei had said: this Gu Xiang was a shameless little bitch.

Cao Jiarong pinched his waist and jumped up to make himself look more imposing, then pointed at Gu Xiang's nose and cursed:
"You are such a shameless woman, a hen that doesn't lay eggs. You have the nerve to stay here even though you were kicked out by your in-laws. If I were you, I would have gone home and killed myself by hitting that piece of tofu."

"Oh my, the quality of your tofu is so good that it can kill people. No, how do you know that tofu can kill people? Have you ever seen it?" Gu Wan suddenly interrupted and deliberately asked with a puzzled look: "Auntie, if you really saw a dead person, why didn't you go to the police station to report it?"

Go to the police station to report the case?

Cao Jiarong widened his eyes, wondering where this young girl came from and how she dared to say such words. You have to know that people in this era generally do not have the courage to directly contact the public security comrades.

Especially since this young girl looked pretty good, Cao Jiarong felt offended and couldn't help but want to curse again.

But when she thought about the Public Security Bureau the girl was talking about, Cao Jiarong became timid and thought that she could temporarily forgive this ignorant little bitch.

Well, this is a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Gu Wan did not give up, but continued: "Auntie, I see that you are also an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative. Aren't you all serving the people? I am here to buy things, so I am the one you serve. As a result, your attitude is like this. I think I should discuss the responsibilities of supply and marketing cooperative employees with your superiors."

If the other party had cursed at her like a shrew, Cao Jiarong would have no problem giving her ten scoldings, but Gu Wan's flowery words and her statement that she would talk to her superiors were all just words.

This really scared Cao Jiarong. She was supposed to be the successor to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and her cultural level and work ability were limited.

He just said, "Humph, just wait for me."

He actually turned around and ran away, running away in shame...

Not to mention Gu Wan, even Gu Xiang was stunned. It was the first time she realized that the colleague she thought was so scary was actually so vulnerable.

Gu Wan frowned and asked, "Aunt, do people often bully you in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Gu Xiang smiled calmly, "It's okay, I can handle it."

So, Gu Wan didn't ask any more questions.

Many things can only be done by yourself. If you rely solely on the help of others, you will get hurt in the end. Therefore, Gu Wan did not insist on this topic, but asked carefully: "Uh, aunt, do you have any colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative who are on good terms with you?"

After a long silence, Gu Xiang replied, "There is one, Mao Siyu, I have a pretty good relationship with her."

It just so happened that Mao Siyu worked at the ready-made clothes counter there. There were very few customers, and it was not easy to buy cloth, let alone ready-made clothes.

Not to mention the cloth coupons, which are even more expensive. With the coupons you get for a piece of ready-made clothing, you can buy a few more feet of cloth.

With Gu Xiang's help, Gu Wan got in touch with Mao Siyu directly.

Gu Wan could see that Comrade Mao Siyu was quite nice, and his tone and attitude when speaking to his aunt were quite polite.

So, she got straight to the point and said, "Comrade, do you want some soap? Genuine Lighthouse brand. I'll give you thirty cents a piece if you don't want a ticket."

Gu Wan spoke in a low voice, but enunciated the words clearly to ensure that the other party could understand.

She asked her sister-in-law and learned that the normal selling price of soap in the supply and marketing cooperative was 32 cents and a ticket was required. The key point was that soap was not a defective product and it was difficult to get it even for the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative.

And these are daily consumables. In addition to my own family, there are also relatives, friends, sisters, etc., so it is not a problem to buy some more.

Therefore, the price given by Gu Wan is considered a wholesale price, and Comrade Mao can add some extra money to retail it to others.

Of course, Gu Wan wouldn't say it explicitly, but if the other party wasn't smart enough, there was no need for her to cooperate with him.

After all, this is still a special period and these things cannot be made public.

Fortunately, Mao Siyu is smart. She immediately smiled widely: "Gu Xiang, this is your niece? She is really good-looking and smart."

Where did you see it?
Gu Wan smiled secretly, it turned out that in this world, money is the most moving thing.

Then Mao Siyu lowered her voice and leaned forward a little, leaning close to Gu Wan's ear and whispered, "Do you have one?"

"Well, I have a friend who is in the transport team." Gu Wan just said this briefly.

Well, anyone who has read period novels knows that the people in the transport team are capable of getting all kinds of good stuff.

Mao Siyu believed it immediately, mainly because she had a good relationship with Gu Xiang, and she had also heard many bizarre stories about her eldest niece from her good friend.

Mao Siyu immediately believed that Gu Wan had such a friend.

There was still a lot of soap in Gu Wan's storage cabinet, but she couldn't take out too much at once, so the two of them successfully traded ten pieces under Gu Xiang's cover.

So, Gu Wan received three dollars.

Not only that, she also gained a warmer "friendship" from the other party than from her aunt: "Oh, niece, please come and play with me next time you come to the county."

Mao Siyu was very happy that her eldest niece had a friend in the transport team and could get a lot of good things, which was a treasure for her.

She was a smart and well-funded person, so she agreed immediately and bought all ten bars of soap that Gu Wan brought up in one go.

If she turns around and doesn’t want the ticket, she can sell it for 40 cents a piece, and the difference is quite a lot.
