The salesperson explained the store's promotional policies in detail, and then told them the price: "All things considered, this domestic washing machine is only 888 yuan. Ladies, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Quantities are limited, so grab it while you can!"
Chen Zhaodi was alarmed when she heard this. How could the quantity be limited? She needed to go back and think about it for a few more days!
Zhou Hongyu knew the store's tricks as soon as she raised the corner of her mouth. There was no need to rush. She could buy a washing machine anytime she wanted!
Zhou Hongyu held down Chen Zhaodi, who was itching to act, and pulled her aside to discuss it quietly.
"Think it through. A washing machine costs 888 yuan, which takes up most of your family's savings. Are you willing to spend that? Besides, there might be a better model coming out in a few years, and you'll be outdated!"
I estimate that the eldest son's savings are only around 1,200 yuan.
Chen Zhaodi glanced at her smugly: "We only have one son, so we don't need to save money to buy a house!"
The implication is that Zhou Hongyu has two sons, so her future eldest daughter-in-law's family proposed buying a house to avoid any trouble after she marries into the family.
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes and replied, "Yes, yes, you only have one son, and all the family property will belong to him in the future!"
But what you, Chen Zhaodi, can't guess is that one of your daughters-in-law is worth two of mine. It's about quality, not quantity. You'll be crying and screaming when the time comes!
"Then go ahead and buy it!"
As they prepared to place their order, the sales clerk narrowed her eyes and said "Okay!" several times.
"According to the policy, when you purchase this product, you will receive a cashback of 6% of your actual payment, which is 53.28 yuan. This money will be kept in your membership card for your next purchase!"
Chen Zhaodi asked, "I can get a membership card, but can you just give me the money in it? It's all my money anyway, it doesn't matter where I put it!"
Zhou Hongyu chuckled and laughed, holding her shoulder.
Chen Zhaodi was puzzled. Why? Isn't it all her money? Is it wrong for her to think that way?
Zhou Hongyu explained on behalf of the sales clerk: "The money in the membership card is for you to make secondary purchases at the store. You can't take it and spend it elsewhere!"
If I can't decide what's in my money, then the money in the membership card isn't really mine!
Chen Zhaodi was dissatisfied with the store's rules and was full of complaints. She felt cheated!
Few people buy domestic products; everyone is scrambling to buy imported goods. The sales clerks, all smiles, tell them that if they pay now, the goods will be delivered to their door that evening.
Chen Zhaodi was less dissatisfied with this service attitude.
The sales clerk went to issue the invoice.
Chen Zhaodi whispered, "Zhou Hongyu, when we get home tonight, will I get a hundred yuan?"
One hundred yuan is more than two months' salary. If she can get one hundred yuan, it's equivalent to the washing machine only costing 788 yuan!
Chen Zhaodi's math skills were terrible, but she could still keep track of most of the money that passed through her hands.
Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow: "Of course!"
With an initial investment of 1,400, the return rate was already three times. With Sister Sun's niece-in-law's generous lending, the profit could rise even further, reaching around 6,000.
Chen Zhaodi only wanted 20% profit, which was a little over 1,200 yuan. Zhou Hongyu gave her 1,500 yuan, and with her initial investment of 1,000 yuan, Chen Zhaodi would end up with 2,500 yuan.
Zhou Hongyu herself could also receive more than five thousand.
They only gave her 100 yuan? That's incredibly disrespectful!
With Zhou Hongyu's guarantee, Chen Zhaodi paid the money very readily.
After counting the money, the sales clerk handed the receipt to Chen Zhaodi and gave her a few lottery tickets: "If you're lucky, you might even win one of our prizes!"
Chen Zhaodi excitedly opened three tickets, but didn't win any of them.
His face fell instantly, ugh!
"What a rip-off!"
She wanted to throw away the remaining two tickets but couldn't bear to, so she gave them to Zhou Hongyu, complaining, "Zhou Hongyu, take a look. I think this is just a hoax; there's no way you'll win!"
Zhou Hongyu slashed open and slapped her face repeatedly, hitting her every time!
One digital watch.
One semiconductor radio.
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
Seeing her complicated expression, a mixture of sadness and reluctance, Zhou Hongyu helped her make arrangements: "You can keep the transistor radio, and I'll take the electronic watch for Shuying and Meiying to wear!"
Chen Zhaodi nodded; this arrangement would ease her pain.

Chang Rihui accompanied Yang Yingzi as they wandered around the store. When they passed by the appliance section again, as expected, she was gone.
He instantly felt extremely irritable.
Yang Yingzi noticed his sudden change in mood and remained silent.
Upon returning to his lodgings, Chang Rihui went straight to his room to prepare for studying.
Today is an exception, it's his birthday. He chose to go out for some unknown reasons, but he came back with a belly full of anger!
Yang Yingzi saw him through the window, his book open, looking like he was studying intently, his eyes darting around.
With Chang Rihui's abilities, doing business was practically like picking up money off the street. Why did he suddenly abandon all his responsibilities and start studying?
Chang Rihui must stay and help them make more money and get rich!
Chang Rihui finished reviewing a book and put down his textbook to relieve his eye strain when there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by Yang's father's panicked voice: "Rihui, something bad has happened! Yingzi has had another attack!"
"Get him to the hospital immediately!"
"I'll go get someone. Rihui, you keep an eye on Yingzi for me!"
"OK!"
Looking at Yang Yingzi lying on the bed with a pale face, Chang Rihui couldn't help but worry. After this incident, would he still be able to make it back to celebrate his birthday tonight?
“Brother Rihui…” Yang Yingzi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as she reached out her hand, her trembling hand shaking.
"I am here!"
Seeing this, Chang Rihui felt disgusted with his earlier thoughts. At this moment, lives were at stake, and he wasn't going to only be able to celebrate one birthday in the future!

At the Wu family home, Chang Pengfei persuaded Wu Minjun to accompany him back tonight to celebrate his third brother's birthday.
Chang Pengfei is often clueless about many things, but he sees things very clearly when it's his third brother's birthday. Tonight is a rare opportunity to get his mother to agree to buy him a house!
Wu Minjun looked at her belly, worried that people might accidentally bump into it, and she was unhappy about it.
Wu's mother suddenly appeared behind him.
Wu's mother pulled Chang Pengfei away angrily: "Buying a house is your family's duty. Before that, our two families would not have any dealings!"
Wu's mother wasn't stupid; if her daughter went to the Chang family, she would likely be discovered as pregnant.
She had made up her mind that before the Chang family discovered her daughter's pregnancy, she needed to find a doctor to determine whether the baby was a boy or a girl.
If it's a boy, hehe!
Wu's mother and Wu Minjun discussed: "You're part of our family, you can't side with the Chang family! Let me tell you, Chang Pengfei's grandmother inherited a four-courtyard house from a relative! You see, the Chang family clearly has the ability to buy a house, but they're just being stubborn and refusing to buy it!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Minjun crushed her handkerchief. She genuinely believed that buying a house would be very difficult for the Chang family!
Meanwhile, Zhou Hongyu and the others returned home, where Granny Chang greeted them: "Hongyu, it's Rihui's birthday today. What did you buy after being out for so long?"
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Will I get scolded for telling the truth?
I've forgotten what day it is today!
