Even the cicadas were unaware, but anyway, neither she nor Aunt Hao would suffer any loss.
Ye Fangfei followed Hu Qiuyue up to the second floor, where her counter was located. She had just gone downstairs to use the restroom and had greeted Ye Fangfei and the others when she saw them on her way back.
Looking around to ensure no one was watching, Hu Qiuyue quickly pulled out a pair of liberation shoes from under the counter and placed them on top. There were two pairs in size 42, two pairs in size 43, and one pair in size 41.
Ye Fangfei nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take them all."
Hu Qiuyue helped Ye Fangfei pack the shoes into her mesh bag while explaining, "Don’t be misled by the minor flaws in these shoes; they’re really just a bit imperfect and won’t affect their wearability at all. Like this pair—the shoe box got damaged during transport, and there’s a bit of oil on the surface, but a quick wipe will make it good as new. And this pair has a printing error on the sole."
Ye Fangfei nodded as she packed the shoes, and it was time to settle the payment.
"Sister-in-law, how much do I owe you?" Ye Fangfei asked.
"These are all for me to keep; we have benefits as internal staff. It’s four yuan each, no receipt needed," Hu Qiuyue replied.
Ye Fangfei didn’t argue and took out twenty yuan to hand to her.
Hu Qiuyue knew that Ye Fangfei was not someone who would take advantage of others. However, she still said, "Feifei, you’ve given me too much; just give me twenty-two yuan."
"Oh, I should thank you for letting me have these shoes! The extra money can be considered my way of buying some candy for my nephew," Ye Fangfei replied charmingly.
Old Lady Tang watched as her third daughter-in-law managed to buy these rare liberation shoes without a receipt from the department store. She couldn’t help but gain a clearer understanding of Ye Fangfei's family connections. She also recalled what her eldest son had said about allowing her to speak a few words with Ye Fangfei—this time she felt no resistance.
"Sister-in-law, I want to buy some clothes for my parents. Can you help me pick something out?" Ye Fangfei asked as she looked at the clothing counter next to the shoe counter.
The second floor of the department store was dedicated to selling clothing materials and shoes. Hu Qiuyue was indeed the sales clerk for shoes.
Ye Fangfei asked her because, as fellow salespeople, Hu Qiuyue was surely familiar with the clothing sales staff. If she inquired, perhaps there were some discounted items without tickets, just like the liberation shoes.
After Ye Fangfei finished speaking, Hu Qiuyue waved to the nearby salesperson, Lili. "Come here."
The clothing salesperson was busy with a customer, and only after the customer left did she approach. "Sister Hu, what do you need?"
Hu Qiuyue pulled Lili aside and whispered, "Lili, didn’t you say that day that there was a top with the sleeves inside out that you wanted to sell cheaply?"
Lili nodded. "Yes, that happened. But my parents don’t lack clothes; otherwise, I would have kept it for myself."
"That person over there is my husband's cousin. She wants to buy a piece of clothing for her mother-in-law and asked me if there’s anything cheaper available." Hu Qiuyue pointed her chin toward Ye Fangfei and the others.
"I thought it was something serious! Just for Sister Hu's sake, I should help her out," Lili said.
"But your relationship with this cousin is a bit strange," Lili remarked.
"Well, my mother-in-law doesn’t have any daughters. She treats her like her own daughter," Hu Qiuyue replied.
"My husband also regards her as a younger sister."
"That makes sense. It’s normal for a daughter-in-law like you to care for her," Lili said.
