Jacob hurriedly said, “Hey, I’m just talking to you, don’t tell Claire!”
Charlie nodded: “I know, don’t worry.”
Jacob sighed and said, “Hey, let’s not talk about her, let’s quickly buy the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Charlie said, “Then let’s start with the vegetable section. The first one to enter the supermarket has to buy vegetables because if you don’t pay attention to this dish, the rest will be picked by others and what we get will not be fresh.”
As they talked, they came to the vegetable area.
Although the vegetable area is large, the shelves are densely arranged, and the aisles left in the middle are relatively narrow, which makes it easy to be crowded with more people.
Charlie and Jacob were pushing the shopping cart into it, and suddenly they heard someone yelling: “You dead old woman, are you blind? Didn’t you see me mopping the floor? Don’t you hurry away?”
At this time, they heard a familiar voice again, and an old woman said in a solemn and aggrieved voice: “Gena…why are you always mopping the floor under my feet? Your mop has been dragged under my feet a dozen times back and forth!”
It was Mrs. Willson who spoke!
At this time, she is wearing a green vest for supermarket employees, holding a roll of breakpoint plastic bags for grocery shopping.
And in front of her, stood a woman of five big and three thick, also wearing a green vest.
This woman is Gena!
At this moment, Gena was standing in front of her with a mop and deliberately poke her feet with the mop.
Mrs. Willson was almost knocked down by her several times, but she could only grab the edge of the shelf and begged bitterly: “Gena, all the previous mistakes were all my fault. Please look at my age. , Don’t have grudges with me!”
Gena glared at her and said contemptuously: “Now you know to beg for mercy? Were you not very arrogant before? Were you not very arrogant when you scolded me?”
Mrs. Willson dare not speak when she yelled.
Gena continued to sneer and said, “I think of you as Mrs. Willson riding in a luxury car and living in a villa. How moist your life is! I didn’t expect that you old thing are just a donkey sh!t! It looks like five people. Actually, it’s not as good as a piece of sh!t! You despised me so much yesterday, don’t you still have to work in the same supermarket as me?”
