Dong Dingbang had never imagined that, just as he'd persuaded Cui Xuezhi by saying Shenyang was too far away and difficult to buy, Division Commander Liang had already arranged a bulk purchase. All they had to do was sign up and pay, without further ado. A dedicated person would arrange for the washing machines to be shipped directly to the military region.
Now Dong Dingbang couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
While in the army, he still had to rely on Commander Liang for promotion. Although he and his mother secretly planned to completely overwhelm Cui Xuezhi's arrogance, he was unwilling to go against Cui Xuezhi, which was inconsistent with the henpecked husband image he always showed in front of Commander Liang.
Dong Dingbang went home and discussed it with Wang Yue, and the mother and son had to reluctantly pay the two hundred yuan.
Wang Yue was so distressed that she burst into tears and kept complaining to Cui Xuezhi, "This rich daughter from a cadre family is so ignorant of hardship that she's always wasting money! I never would have thought someone would spend over two thousand yuan on a washing machine. With that much money, we could buy two big fat pigs and make bacon. Our whole family could eat meat every day and still not finish it all in a year."
Dong Dingbang felt bad, but the money had already been spent. He could only console himself and his mother, "Mom, since you've already bought it, don't dwell on it. Actually, buying this washing machine has its benefits. With it, you won't have to wash clothes by hand anymore, which will save you a lot of effort."
"Washing clothes by hand is nothing. Mom has been washing clothes all her life, and these few years are just a small improvement." Wang Yueyu.
Dong Dingbang said, "I've already bought it. Think of this money as your son spending it for you. Enjoy the blessing of having a son."
Wang Yue's eyes immediately turned red. She grabbed Dong Dingbang's hand and said with emotion, "Son, you are still filial to me. I have loved you all these years in vain. With your words, it is worth it even if I die immediately."
Dong Dingbang was moved: "Mom, please don't say that. It wasn't easy for you to raise me and my brother when we were little. Now that I have the ability, I should repay you."
The mother and son sat in the living room, reminiscing about the good and bad times and sharing their feelings with each other. In the bedroom, Cui Xuezhi rolled her eyes when she heard what was happening.
Just bear with it for a while. Once the baby is born, she will send this sweet-faced but cruel old hag back home! !

The person in charge of purchasing washing machines went to Shenyang. Gao Qian paid the money and waited happily, hoping to get a washing machine that would free her hands before the New Year.
The person in charge went to Shenyang for a week and only brought back five washing machines when he came back. He said that the washing machine factory had limited production capacity and could only sell five from the stock. The remaining ones would have to wait until after the New Year and then be shipped by train.
Teacher Liang was efficient in his work. The five washing machines were not distributed according to the rank of the employees, but according to the time when they registered and paid. Gao Qian paid very actively and was lucky enough to be ranked third. She took the washing machine home that day and washed all the dirty clothes in the house.
The washing machine washes clothes quickly and cleanly. Gao Qian no longer suffers from back pain from washing clothes by hand. She praises the washing machine to everyone she meets and says it is worth buying. This has invisibly boosted the sales of the washing machine.
Cui Xuezhi signed up early, but Dong Dingbang paid late, so they missed the first batch of washing machines. Cui Xuezhi was so angry that she threw things around at home and scolded him for being stingy. As a result, there was another quarrel between the couple and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which made the neighbors laugh at them.
Cui Xuezhi was so angry that she cried, but she could do nothing to the mother and son.
It was because the mother and son had built such a good reputation that everyone thought she was ignorant and no one believed that she was the poor young wife who was being bullied.
