Chapter 112 Vanity
Wen Siyuan was embarrassed and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Su Man: "What if I'm not pregnant with a son?"
"Not a son?"
Wen Siyuan was startled, then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's not a son, it's still our child after all."
Hearing this, Su Man's face improved slightly, but she still insisted: "You must have received a bonus this time when you come back. I don't care. You must buy a washing machine and a TV!"
"There is a bonus, but I have to give part of the money to my parents, and save the rest to support you and the children." Washing machines need to be purchased with foreign exchange coupons, which are expensive. Although TVs don't need foreign exchange coupons, they require TV tickets, and the price is not low.
He was asked to take out a large sum of money to buy two home appliances at once. It's not that he can't take it out, but he really thinks it's unnecessary to buy them.
Reason?
Can a washing machine wash clothes cleanly?
What's more, it consumes electricity, and if it's not handled properly, it can also tear clothes. In this case, isn't it more profitable than profitable?
As for the TV… it also consumes electricity, and once you start watching TV series, you will be addicted.
In short, there is no benefit in buying it home.
"Why should you give your parents a portion of your monthly salary? Why should you also share your bonus with them? You should know that your parents don't have only you as their son!"
Su Man was very dissatisfied with Wen Siyuan's parents. Not to mention that they themselves have iron rice bowls and receive monthly salaries, except for Wen Siyuan, the second child, which of the eldest and third children's couples do not work?
But just because they have a pair of children who have not yet started a family, they ask the second son for money every month, saying it is living expenses.
It's so funny. Their family does not eat from the same pot as that big family, so what kind of living expenses should they pay?
Su Man thought so, and she became more and more dissatisfied with her parents-in-law. At the same time, she became more and more determined to buy a washing machine and a TV. She didn't want to be stepped on by Jiang Li, nor did she want all her money to go to her parents-in-law's pockets.
She wanted to let the neighbors know that she, Su Man, could also afford a washing machine and a TV, and let her parents-in-law know that she, the daughter-in-law, was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by anyone!
Wen Siyuan: "Manman! How about this, next year, we will buy it next year..."
Su Man interrupted again: "I want to buy it now. Look at the neighbor, Comrade Luo's wife not only bought a washing machine and a TV for the family, but also a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a radio. I am about the same age as her, and the men she married are all remarried. Why can't my man buy those things for me too?"
"You..."
Wen Siyuan's face changed slightly. He suppressed the anger rising in his heart and said as patiently as possible: "Although I just came back yesterday, I still heard people say that the things Comrade Jiang bought for his family next door were either bought by Comrade Jiang's second brother or given as dowry by Comrade Jiang's family, not bought by Professor Luo."
Luo Yanqing is a returnee and a key talent in the institute. His basic monthly salary alone is higher than his, not to mention other preferential treatments...
What about him?
Although he graduated from a prestigious university, he did not go abroad for further studies. If he had not worked hard over the years and followed Luo Yanqing to do research diligently, his status in the institute would probably be the same as that of the man next door (Zhang Sheng) - he has worked for many years and is still a small researcher. He is seven or eight years older than him, and his salary is still not as high as his.
"I understand. You think my parents didn't give me a dowry that was too small, right? But can you blame me for this?" Su Man's eyes were red: "My mother is holding the betrothal gift, what can I do?"
Wen Siyuan: "Manman, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean that."
