Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Has the light finally dawned on you, boy? Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Has the light finally dawned on you, boy? Su Man: “You know what I an. Now, I’ll ask one last ti, are you buying the washing machine and TV or not?”
Worried that Su Man’s mood might affect the developnt of their unborn son, Wen Siyuan finally relented. He said, “Let’s skip the washing machine for now. I’ll try to get a TV license and buy the TV first. Will that do?”
“What if you can’t get the TV license? Are we not buying it then?” Su Man considered it more practical to buy a washing machine as it would spare her from hand washing, but the thought of having a TV that could attract neighbors to their ho made her favor the TV more.
In fact, it was Su Man’s vanity at play.
Outside the master bedroom, sisters Wen Yue and Wen Yi were secretly listening to their father and stepmother talking. When they heard their father ntion buying a TV, both sisters’ eyes lit up instantly.
“Let’s go, back to the room.”
Pointing to the bedroom where the three sisters stayed, Wen Yue hinted to her younger sister, Wen Yi.
Wen Yi nodded her head.
“Big sister, second sister, wait for Little Fish!” Wen Yu, at the age of three, saw her two sisters heading to their bedroom and couldn’t help but follow them with her little legs.
As the bedroom door was not soundproof, hearing the noise in the living room, Wen Siyuan opened the master bedroom door and saw his little daughter running away from the living room. He frowned slightly and turned back to look at Su Man, saying, “Spending a bit more money should do the trick.”
Wen Siyuan knew it was tough to get a TV license, but he planned to first ask soone he knew. If he could borrow it, great; if not, he would have no choice but to buy one from the scalpers outside the departnt store.
And when Wen Siyuan thought about borrowing a TV license, the person he imdiately considered was Director Song.
So, he left the house and headed straight for the Song family’s place.
Unbeknownst to him, Luo Yanqing was there too, sitting with Dean Song, and just like him, was there to borrow a TV license.
“TV license?”
Elder Song looked puzzled: “Didn’t your family just buy one, and now you’re asking for a TV license? What for?”
Luo Yanqing: “It’s useful.”
Elder Song almost choked, took a mont to catch his breath, and glared: “Isn’t that obvious? If it’s useless, do you plan to eat the license or sothing? I was asking whom you are helping to borrow it!”
“To buy a TV for Aoli Village.”
Luo Yanqing’s reply was concise.
Upon hearing this, Elder Song was taken aback for a while, then slapped his thigh and burst into laughter, saying, “You’ve got it figured out, huh? Trying to please your in-laws now!”
Luo Yanqing pursed his lips and remained silent, simply watching Elder Song quietly.
“What a bore, you really are a bore!”
Felt awkward under Luo Yanqing’s unblinking gaze, Elder Song coughed twice and shouted for Mrs. Qi: “Fangfang! Fangfang, I rember you have a TV license, do you still have it?”
Mrs. Qi was in the bedroom but ca out to the living room soon after hearing Elder Song: “I have it, does Little Luo need it?”
“Yes, this young man wants to buy a TV to send to his in-laws.”
“I’ll fetch it right now.”
Mrs. Qi, with a smile on her face, left and returned shortly to the living room, handing the TV license to Luo Yanqing: “Here you go.”
“I’ll pay you back with a license later.”
Having received the TV license, Luo Yanqing stood up from the sofa.
Mrs. Qi: “No rush.” She had the license because she had figured out a way to help her brother obtain it. She had planned to call soone to pick it up later, but now that Little Luo needed it, she simply gave it to him first.
If her brother asked later, she would say she hadn’t managed to get one yet.
That was a simple matter of words.
