Upon hearing their words, one of the sisters-in-law immediately asked.
"This washing machine and rice cooker must be very expensive."
"Yes, the washing machine costs more than six hundred yuan."
Upon hearing this, Sister Liu gasped and looked at the woman who had spoken.
"What did you say? This washing machine costs over six hundred yuan?"
"right."
"I heard that you can buy it in the department stores and supermarkets in the city."
"My goodness, this Mrs. Lu is such a spendthrift! A washing machine costs Captain Lu a year's salary."
“If this happened in our village, she would definitely be divorced.”
"That's such a waste of money."
"She spends money too recklessly. The money that Captain Lu earns isn't even enough for her to spend."
Upon hearing what Sister Liu and the other sisters-in-law said, Sister Yang and Sister Qian immediately explained on Jiang Yue's behalf.
“You’ve misunderstood Sister-in-law Lu. She has a job at a big company, and her salary is no less than Captain Lu’s.”
“Sister-in-law Lu has a job, and her salary is definitely more than Captain Lu’s.”
"Even if you have a job, you can't spend money like this."
"What wife would spend a man's entire year's salary just to avoid doing laundry?"
“Both of them earn money, and it does take time to do laundry. I heard that Sister Lu has three children, so buying a washing machine wouldn’t be a problem.”
Several of Jiang Yue's sisters-in-law spoke well of her.
In their hearts, they felt that if Sister Lu didn't work, buying such a washing machine would indeed be a bit of a luxury. However, Sister Lu was busy with work and earned no less than Captain Lu. Moreover, she had children at home, so washing clothes would indeed take a lot of time.
It would be ideal to be able to solve such a problem with money.
Therefore, none of them felt that Jiang Yue was wasting money by buying this washing machine.
Sister Qian and Sister Yang didn't say anything more and walked away.
Sister Liu felt a pang of jealousy when she recalled what they had said.
She's been trying to find a job these days. There are elementary and middle schools nearby, but she's only a middle school graduate. She needs connections to teach elementary school, as the schools they're looking for now require at least a high school diploma.
She had neither connections nor the required qualifications to get a permanent job in the city or county, and although she tried to apply, she failed the exam.
Her family used to live in the provincial capital. After coming here, she saw that many of the women in the family compound were not well-off, and she felt extremely superior. Moreover, her family had some connections in the military, so she felt even more inferior to these women.
Her husband treats her well, and her in-laws also treat her very well.
Previously, she was always the object of admiration in the residential compound, but after Jiang Yue arrived, many people in the compound became even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Yue. Although Jiang Yue visited less often, she felt uneasy. Jiang Yue had stolen her thunder.
"Sister Liu, this Sister Lu is too high-profile."
"She spent seven or eight hundred yuan in one go. What kind of family does Captain Lu have that allows her to be so extravagant?"
"I've never heard of Captain Lu coming from a particularly wealthy or powerful family."
“When the big leaders came before, Sister Lu talked to them and really stole the show.”
Hearing these people's words, Sister Liu felt even more jealous.
After everything was installed, Jiang Yue heated up the dishes she had brought.
She sat in the living room waiting for Lu Yu to get off work.
Knowing his wife was coming, Lu Yu left work on time today and walked much faster than usual.
"daughter in law."
Lu Yu opened the door, and upon seeing Jiang Yue, he quickly walked over and embraced her.
"I miss you so much."
"I miss you as well."
