Chapter 84: Buying a New Car
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, Song Yao closed the shop and brought Song Xiao to the car dealership to buy a car.
As soon as she entered, Song Yao took a fancy to a tricycle. Not only could this car be ridden, but it could also carry a lot of things behind it! Song Yao felt that it was very suitable to set up a stall.
Song Xiao was dumbfounded. This kind of car cost at least 200 yuan! He quickly grabbed Song Yao and asked her to buy a cheaper bicycle.
However, Song Yao insisted on buying it. In the end, she still spent 520 yuan to buy this tricycle.
“Sister, isn’t this car too expensive?” The moment he rode the car, Song Xiao’s flesh hurt. He felt like he was carrying a few hundred kilograms of chestnuts.
However, Song Yao smiled and said, “You still have to ride this stall to help me earn money in the future, so it’s not expensive at all!”
Song Xiao was thinking about the time she said that he should keep all the money he earned when Song Yao entered the department store and bought gifts for everyone in the family.
Song Ping and Gu Li were old, so Song Yao bought two thick cotton suits for the old couple. She bought Song Xiao a sweater with a collar, and Sun Hao a pair of leather shoes, and even Liang Jie was getting a pair of cotton gloves for free.
Song Xiao followed behind Song Yao the entire time. He only felt that shopping with a woman was a very tiring thing, even more tiring than his delivery stall.
When she reached the door, Song Yao saw two sets of beautiful baby clothes. Thinking that Baby Xuan was still wearing clothes that other children did not want, Song Yao asked for five sets of clothes.
When the shop assistant saw that a huge order had arrived, she immediately greeted Song Yao with a smile.
“Miss, it’s a total of 120 yuan.”
Song Yao took out a few tens of yuan from her pocket and was about to hand them over when she saw a beautiful floral dress hanging in the corner.
“How much is this dress for?” She thought of the new Aunt Liu they had hired. She had good facial features and a good figure. Wasn’t this dress just right?
The shop assistant hurriedly said, “Wow! You have good taste. This is a new style from our shop! It costs 80 yuan!”
Song Yao hesitated for a long time. It was quite expensive, but it was also really good-looking.
“Then let’s get this.” With that, she took out a few more notes from her pocket, which added up to two hundred dollars.
The shop assistant was overjoyed when she saw the money. “Miss! Our shop is holding an event now. We’ll give you a free ashtray or towel if you spend over 200 yuan. Do you want them?”
“An ashtray then!” Her family did not lack towels, but her father happened to lack an ashtray!
Carrying a pile of things home, Song Xiao’s expression was very ugly. “Sister, you spent 200 yuan to buy these few items, but they actually gave you a dirty ashtray! Isn’t it obvious that they want to cheat you?”
Song Yao stared at the gray ashtray in front of her and smiled. “I saw that the quality of the clothes was good and the style was good, so I bought it. I didn’t expect anyone to give me anything. Besides, if we buy a new ashtray, our father won’t be willing to use it.”
Song Xiao thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, in the Song Manor in the past, the old couple was famous for being thrifty. Even if they moved to the town, they could not change their previous habits.
“Then I’ll listen to you.” Song Xiao’s tone was still a little unconvinced.
Song Xiao smiled helplessly. “Alright, go back quickly. If it’s any later, the sky will turn dark.”
The siblings took the car back and only rushed home at three or four in the afternoon.
Because Song Yao had bought a new car, she attracted a lot of attention from the neighbors along the way.
“Isn’t this Song Yao, who just moved in from the Song Manor? I heard that she might have earned money! Her Dad and Mom didn’t have to do anything at home and moved to the town!”
“They’re the lucky ones. Why don’t I have this fate? It’s fine if I marry a disappointing husband, but the son I give birth to doesn’t have any ability…”
“What good life? I heard from the Song family that Song Yao was divorced! Why do you think she got a divorce? What did she do to earn so much money? I can’t be bothered to tell you the rest!”
Liu Mu and his wife, Wang Hong, were naturally among them. Seeing Song Yao and her brother riding the tricycle in the direction of the two-story building on the opposite street, Wang Hong gritted her teeth in anger.
“Look at how capable Song Yao is! But you! I’ve been with you for so many years. Not to mention a house, even the bicycle we have was gifted by my father when he was alive!”
Liu Mu’s eyes darkened.. Why was he suddenly involved in this?
