Chapter 212

It was exactly as she feared—whatever she worried about always seemed to happen. Although Feng Qingqing had felt the price was a bit high after asking, she reminded herself that in the few years since her rebirth, she hadn’t bought herself a single piece of clothing she truly loved. Now that she had finally come to the Provincial Capital and visited the department store for the first time, she was determined to buy it. Not wanting to be stingy with herself, she took the money and ration coupons from her pocket, counted them carefully, and pushed them across the counter to the salesclerk. The young clerk looked at the payment, her expression stiffening. She seemed incredibly reluctant. Still, since the money was already on the counter, it would have been improper to refuse the sale. After dithering for a long time, she had no choice but to process the coupons, wrap the garment, and hand it to Feng Qingqing. Even then, the look on her face was as pained as if she were mourning the death of her parents.
