Gu Zi fell silent for a few seconds, a spark of an idea flashing through her mind. With a decisive turn, she abandoned the front line of the battlefield.
She shot a glance at Li Hua, instructing her to stay put. Mother Lin, holding Su Le, was worried and wanted to follow, but Li Hua held her back. Understanding dawned on Mother Lin; Gu Zi, her daughter, had a plan.
The man, seeing Gu Zi no longer arguing, revealed a smug expression. He shook his leg in a manner reminiscent of a street thug, thinking himself quite handsome.
However, in the next moment, Gu Zi walked straight to the front of the line, inserting herself ahead of the woman who had just advised her to step back.

But it was the first tGu Zi had seen someone advise the person being cut in line to step back. She had no choice but to drag the woman who had advised her into the mess.
After all, whether it was her sister-in-law or herself in line, as long as the woman could step back, she could ignore the man cutting in line.
However, reality proved that once the situation fell on them, speople’s tolerance was not as great as she had said.
The woman, seeing Gu Zi cut in line, becimmediately flustered. Her face reddened as she pointed at Gu Zi and said, “How can you be like this? Looking at you, a young lady dressed so nicely, I thought you had manners. How can you cut in line?”
Gu Zi retorted in her heart, was it because she looked well-educated that the woman had advised her not to fight for her rights?
Mimicking the woman’s earlier words, Gu Zi retorted, “Why not? I’m just uncivilized. Besides, from what you said earlier, you seemed quite magnanimous. So, if you queue behind me, you’ll just have to wait a little longer. It’s better to avoid trouble. You should bear with it. It’s not good to make a fuss. The tyou spend arguing could be used to queue a little longer.”
The woman was left speechless. She looked at the people behind her, trying to stir them up.
Those behind Gu Zi, who had also been cut in line, were quite dissatisfied.
A man in black glasses and a Zhongshan suit stepped forward, followed by a muscular security guard.
He said to Gu Zi, “Miss, it’s a new era. We should be civilized and not cut in line.”
Gu Zi saw his stance was quite firm, with a sense of courtesy before force. However, Gu Zi was not flustered. She used her age advantage to act innocent, speaking in a particularly childish tone.
“Our teacher toldthat once we enter society, we should learn the ways of the world. Just now, that mister cut in line. I argued with him that it was wrong, but this lady advisedto let it go. I thought the lady was a good person, so I queued in front of her. Is that wrong?”
The man in glasses fell silent for a while, then said to Gu Zi, “Please go back and queue again. I’ll handle this.”
After saying this, he led the security guard towards the man who had cut in line earlier. Whatever he said made the man obediently go to the back of the line without uttering a word.

Later, when Mother Lin and the others had finished their banking business and left the bank with Gu Zi, the man who had cut in line was still queuing, his face flushed when he saw Gu Zi.
Gu Zi ignored him, guessing that he would think twice before cutting in line again.
“Sister, I don’t feel quite reassured about putting money in the bank. It won’t get lost, will it?” Li Hua was still not quite at ease.
Gu Zi patted her handbag and said, “No, I’ll keep the passbook safe. As long as the passbook is in hand, we don’t have to worry about losing money.
Everything goes from imperfect to gradually perfect, right? The bank is backed by the state, we have to trust the state! Mom, Sister-in-law, let’s go shopping.”
Gu Zi took them to Xinghua Department Store. Li Hua and Mother Lin looked at the shelves full of goods and the people chatting happily around them, their movements becoming increasingly hesitant, as if they didn’t know what to do.
Gu Zi didn’t say much. After all, they would gradually adapt after coming a few more times. Saying it out loud now would only make them feel more awkward.
“Mom, Sister-in-law, I’ve wanted to buy you new clothes for a long time.
Today is the perfect opportunity. Let’s go to the clothing store.” Gu Zi, holding Su Le, headed towards a women’s clothing store.
Mother Lin and Li Hua timidly followed behind her..
