Chapter 31: The Big Ten-Yuan Bill
Beisitian left, and the waitress standing there was speechless, wondering where this wild girl came from, thinking she would regret it?
Is she regretting her attitude towards this wild girl?
What a joke!
The waitress’s surname is Ma, called Ma Xiaoling, and she’s been working at the Western pharmacy for three years now. She believes she’s seen quite a few people, especially since there are only two pharmacies in this town. People from tens of miles around come to town every day, almost every day there’s someone from the village coming in.
Especially after the grain tickets and various other tickets were canceled a few years ago, the villagers began flooding into town, most hoping to stay.
Ma Xiaoling is particularly impatient when dealing with these people, not only are they country bumpkins, but they also lack culture. Asking them anything feels like hitting a wall; bewildered yet invariably stubborn!
Like the village girl she encountered today, quite a peculiar person, skinny as a rake, probably not having enough to eat, yet boastfully striding into the pharmacy?
Waiting for her to regret it?
Whenever Ma Xiaoling thinks of Beisitian’s calm attitude and her infuriating words, it makes Ma Xiaoling even angrier!
The pharmacy she works at isn’t state-owned; it seems to have been opened by overseas Chinese responding to government policies. What exactly it’s all about, Ma Xiaoling doesn’t know, nor does she care, as long as she gets paid every month.
It’s not a stable government job, she’s not feeding off the state, so she doesn’t dare go too far. At most, she’ll curse people away, give some cold satire and that’s it, so even though Ma Xiaoling is angry, she just hopes not to see Beisitian again next time, and she’ll forget about it after a while.
She picked up the water on the table, took a couple of sips to calm her anger.
