Rong Yan just stepped out at that moment, "Qin Ye, how about we find time to go to the Friendship Store and buy the washing machine as well? And while we’re at it, a television too."
She had planned to buy the items at the Space Supermarket, as it was relatively cheaper than other stores outside.
Now, she just needed to let her family know in advance.
Qin Ye didn’t need his wife’s hint, he immediately understood what his wife was trying to express and hurriedly responded, "Alright, both can be done."
Madam Rong was afraid if she spoke a moment too late, this couple would start spending recklessly.
She said urgently, "There’s no need to buy a washing machine, I can wash; and as for the television, don’t we already have one at home? When the time comes, it will definitely have to be moved, this one we have is just right, having two is too much."
Which family has such conditions, to actually have two televisions in the house?
Is this because they feel money burns too quickly?
Rong Yan immediately said, "Mom, this TV won’t do, not only is it too small, but it’s also black and white. I want to go buy a big color TV."
Upon hearing the mention of a big color TV, Madam Rong’s head spun instantly.
"Our TV is not small, is it? It’s nine inches, which household doesn’t have this size?" After all, this television was a rare commodity, and their family was among the earliest to buy it.
On the day they got it, every neighbor was incredible envious.
Even Old Lady and Rong Wenze’s family, upon hearing that their house had bought a TV, came over to their home thinking of borrowing it under the pretense of filial piety, and almost took their TV away!
Of course, she could never agree to this, so with her strenuous objection, they left empty-handed.
Rong Yan:...
You’ve never seen those huge seventy-two-inch and one-hundred-inch televisions.
"Mom, the TV for the new house also counts as part of my dowry; how can we make do with an old TV?"
Once she said that, Madam Rong immediately changed her mind, "We must buy, and we’ll get the biggest one."
Rong Yan heard her words and the corners of her mouth curled up even more, "Not just that, let’s also buy the washing machine! After all, they gave us so many red envelopes, consider it as if Qin Ye has hit the jackpot."
Now Madam Rong had even less reason to refuse; after all, just by having a meal... bringing back such a huge sum from red envelopes, the amount given was truly unprecedented.
At least within their residential district, this had never happened before.
If those neighborhood folks found out that her daughter received a few thousand in red envelopes just from a single meal visit, they would probably be envious and jealous to the point their eyeballs would fall out.
After all, if someone were to receive a gift of two hundred for a dowry, that alone would be the talk of the town for half a month.
Her daughter’s situation... wouldn’t that be talked about for several years?
Madam Rong gritted her teeth, "Buy, we’ll buy everything."
Rong Yan’s smile became even more uncontrollable.
"Mom, I’ll give you some more money later."
Madam Rong was calculating how much money was left in her hands, then kept a little aside for daily needs, and gave the rest for her daughter to buy, buy, buy.
"No need, keep your money, I still have plenty over here! Right now, I am so rich I’m practically dripping with wealth."
Isn’t that right? In an era where five cents can buy you an egg, isn’t a few thousand enough to make you a wealthy lady?
Madam Rong was amused by her latter remark and couldn’t help but laugh, then glared at her, "You can say that in front of me, but don’t go saying it outside."
A few years back, claiming to be rich... that was trouble.
After all, the poorer you were, the more glorious you were.
It’s just that in the last few years, the winds have shifted again.
But no matter what era, hiding one’s wealth is always the smartest move.
Rong Yan:...?
"Mom, do I look like the foolish kind to you?"
Madam Rong immediately rolled her eyes, "Don’t you know if you’re foolish or not? Do you really need me to tell you?"
Rong Yan:...
Great, it’s another day being dissed by my own mother.
"By the way, since we’re buying those valuable items, when will you go? I need to accompany you."
Accompany her? That won’t do, what would she do then?
Aunt Jin was taken aback, "Your son-in-law and Yanyan bought a house here too?"
"Right," Madam Rong nodded.
Aunt Jin suddenly thought of what she had just said, "Don’t tell me you two are also planning to move in with them?"
Madam Rong’s smile brightened even more, "Our Qin and Yanyan said they don’t want to be separated from us, and they’re worried about Old Rong and my health. They insisted that we live with them for peace of mind. So, we can only live together."
Rong Wenming added a comment, "My son-in-law and daughter are now ready to take care of our old age, allowing us to live a carefree and hassle-free life."
Aunt Jin:...
She too desired such a daughter and son-in-law.
Envious looks unsurprisingly showed on her face.
"You and your husband are so fortunate." Who said Old Rong and his wife would be miserable in old age with just one daughter?
Some folks with several sons probably can’t live as well as they do!
Madam Rong beamed, "Ah, it’s not bad. Mainly because the children are filial! In fact, my husband and I wanted to keep working for a few more years, but they disagree, so we can only take it easy!"
Rong Yan:...
Is her mom being Versailles?
But, how much longer will these two chat?
Perhaps they should just leave first!
Right when this thought crossed her mind, Madam Rong waved at Aunt Jin, "I won’t keep you any longer, we need to start cleaning."
Aunt Jin’s feelings were mixed, "Alright, then you guys go ahead and get busy!"
After she saw the family bustling off, she withdrew her gaze and muttered under her breath, "Everyone says to raise sons for your old age and that daughters are useless, but look at their daughter... she’s worth ten sons."
Old Rong and his wife weren’t particularly old; in normal circumstances, they’d still need to go out and earn money.
Yet at their age, they could afford to sit idle... truly enviable.
It wasn’t even half a day before the news of Rong Wenming and his wife being supported by their son-in-law spread throughout the whole alley...
