Stewed chicken costs eight yuan a bowl!

You know, a bowl of beef noodles or mutton noodles at a noodle shop only costs a few cents at most.

A bowl of fried rice costs about one yuan.

This stewed chicken costs eight pieces!

Even though his family was relatively well-off, he still felt it was a bit expensive.

However, considering that Wang Qian could buy it for his wife, he didn't hesitate to buy a bowl as well.

After that, he went to the clothing store that Wang Qian had mentioned.

Why are the flowers so red!

The store name is interesting, and the decoration is exquisite.

The clothes inside... are incredibly expensive.

He asked Wang Qian about the two sets of fluffy pajamas he had just bought; each set cost twenty yuan.

If you buy two sets, you can get a discount; it will only cost 39 yuan.

At this point, Tian Tongwen couldn't hold back any longer.

"That bastard Wang Qian, is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to act like a rich guy in front of me?"

These two sets of pajamas aren't just expensive, they're downright luxurious.

You should know that he only prepared 300 yuan when he brought his wife to the hospital to deliver the baby.

The hospitalization fees, including all the charges, came to 100 yuan.

In addition to the food and drinks I've had these past few days, as well as all sorts of other necessities, it's cost me at least several tens of yuan.

Although there is still some money left over, it cannot withstand such extravagance.

If he uses it like this every day, his 300 yuan will definitely not be enough until he is discharged from the hospital.

"Sir, would you like both sets?"

Just as he was hesitating, the salesperson at the clothing store politely asked.

Tian Tongwen's expression changed drastically.

"want!"

After weighing the options, he gritted his teeth and bought two sets.

Wang Qian, this country bumpkin, is willing to spend so much money to buy his wife two sets of pajamas. Does that mean he can't afford to?

Even if I can't usually spend this much, I have to save face since I'm in the same hospital room as Wang Qian's family.

He wanted to see how long Wang Qian could keep up the act.

He refused to believe that Wang Qian could have more money than him.

With this indignant thought in his heart, he forced back his bleeding heart, bought two sets of pajamas, and a bowl of stewed chicken, and brought them back to the ward.

"Honey, I've bought you stewed chicken!"

To appear more magnanimous, he pretended to be indifferent, saying, "By the way, these two sets of pajamas are still not very good quality, but I really can't find anything better for the time being. Please make do with these for now, and I'll buy you better ones after you're discharged from the hospital."

How much did you pay for these?

Tian Tongwen's wife, Liu Jingying, asked instinctively.

A look of panic flashed across Tian Tongwen's face.

But fearing that Wang Qian would see him, he still waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "It's very cheap, just wear it."

"All right!"

Liu Jingying didn't ask any further questions.

Tian Tongwen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if his wife finds out the price of the two sets of pajamas, she'll definitely give him a severe scolding.

However, only the next day, Wang Qian went out and bought a lot of luxury items.

A fluffy blanket;

A thermos;

Two pairs of elegant slippers;

And lots of delicious food.

Even the stewed chicken that he thought was too expensive yesterday, he bought twice, once at noon and once in the afternoon.

When buying these things, Wang Qian didn't mention the price, and even when Lin Xiaoyu and Lu Aihua asked, he just gave them perfunctory answers.

But Lin Xiaoyu and Lu Aihua were unaware that Tian Tongwen was terrified.

These things aren't cheap.

All in all, Wang Qian will have to spend at least several tens of yuan today.

This is pushing him to the brink of death!

If he doesn't follow suit, he'll seem even less capable than someone from the countryside.

But if he follows along, he really can't take it anymore!

"Lin Xiaoyu, the slippers your man bought you are so pretty!"

Just as he was closing his mouth and nose, pretending not to see it, his wife Liu Jingying was captivated by a pair of shoes under Lin Xiaoyu's bed.

Those shoes were small and exquisite, with gray velvet inside and a relatively soft material on the outside.

If this were in later generations, it wouldn't be anything special.

But in those days, most people still wore cloth shoes, which were cold and hard.

Even Liu Jingying was only wearing a pair of cloth shoes.

Seeing the shoes Wang Qian bought for Lin Xiaoyu, so beautiful and warm, how could she not be envious?

"It looks pretty good, but Wang Qian said it's very cheap."

Lin Xiaoyu smiled shyly.

"Very cheap?"

Liu Jingying's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Tian Tongwen, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, "Tongwen, Wang Qian said they're very cheap, why don't you buy me a pair too?"

Tian Tongwen's lips twitched.

But his wife had already put it this way, so if he didn't buy it, wouldn't he look even poorer than Wang Qian?

A person's reputation matters!

He had to buy the blanket and shoes, no matter how expensive they were.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Wang Qian where he bought the blanket and shoes.

Wang Qian naturally told him the truth.

"Honey, wait for me, I'll go out and buy it for you right away!"

Leaving behind this remark, Tian Tongwen made a show of nonchalance as he left.

When he got to the blanket store and asked, he was so angry he wanted to curse.

Those blankets cost thirty-five yuan each.

The shoes, too, cost sixteen yuan a pair.

These two items alone will cost fifty-one yuan.

If we include the other things Wang Qian bought for Lin Xiaoyu, the total would be even greater.

"Wang Qian, what's wrong with you?"

He was on the verge of tears. "Just to show off in front of me, is it really necessary for you to buy such expensive things for your wife?"
