Gu Li frowned when she heard that. “This Yu Yong is really something! And that woman of his. When you were living with Yu Yong previously, did he say something for you?”

Although Gu Li was angry, she was still glad that her daughter had divorced a man like Yu Yong when she saw the mature and steady Zuo Huo.

As for Pang Jiao, she didn’t look like an easy person to deal with. Who could predict the future? Yu Yong’s “good days” were still ahead!

“Seriously! Why did you buy a washing machine for no reason? It’s not like I can’t wash the clothes at home!” Gu Li said again.

Song Yao said, “Mom, you are washing clothes for the entire family of five. Baby Xuan is big now, and the clothes change every day. In the summer, there will be even more clothes to wash. I’m just feeling sorry for your hands.”

“If you want to buy a fridge, just buy a fridge. Why did you buy a washing machine for me?! 2,000 yuan? Our family only earns so much from collecting chestnuts once!” Although Gu Li scolded Song Yao for being a spendthrift, she was overjoyed in her heart.

Whoever said that giving birth to a son was better than giving birth to a daughter, she would be angry with them!

Not to mention in the Song Manor in the past, even if they moved to the town now, there was not a filial son who could bear to buy a

washing machine for his mother. Song Yao was the first!

While they were talking, the truck that delivered household appliances had already arrived at the door. Two strong young men got out of the truck and carried the refrigerator and washing machine into the back room.

This was the first time the residents of the town had seen such a scene. They surrounded Song Yao’s house to watch the commotion.

In the 1980s, there were very few families who could afford color televisions, let alone big items like refrigerators and washing machines!

Gu Li had never seen a washing machine before. After the vounz man

who installed the washing machine left, the residents ran to the courtyard to see how the washing machine was used!

Gu Li followed the instructions in the manual and threw a pile of dirty clothes in. She connected to a water pipe and began to fill the water. When the water was full, she turned off the tap, powered it up, and closed the lid.

Right on the heels of that, the washing machine started to spin, producing a series of sounds.

The nearby residents were all shocked. Some residents with itchy hands even lifted the lid to take a look. The clothes inside were really spinning!

“Eh? This thing is interesting. Song Yao, how much did you buy it for?”

Song Yao said, “500 yuan.”

She did not dare to tell those people the real price of the washing machine. She was afraid that some people with ill intentions would be jealous. It would not be good if they did anything to poison people.

“Wow! It’s a little expensive, but it looks really good! If our family had this, we wouldn’t even need to wash clothes!”

“That’s right. No matter how many dirty clothes there are in the house, they can help you wash them. This is too convenient!”

“Wow! Sister-in-law Gu Li is so lucky!”

Everyone started to flatter her again. The residents who lived nearby all knew that Gu Li had given birth to a good daughter.

Not only was she beautiful and knew how to earn money, but she was also so considerate!

Even Wang Hong became envious. She said to Liu Mu beside her, “When will our child have such filial piety? I wash clothes for you men all day long. My hands are almost worn out, but no one cares about me!”

Liu Mu smiled. “Didn’t you say that if our son graduates from university in the future, he will earn more? At that time, let alone a washing machine, he can even get you a small car!”

Wang Hong rolled her eyes in anger. That might not be the case!

As a mother, didn’t she know her two sons’ tempers and personalities? Could she expect them to buy a refrigerator and washing machine? It was already filial of them not to ask her for tens of thousands of yuan to buy a house in the county!

Indeed, a son could not compare to a daughter! When they got married, they had to spend money. When they bought a house, they had to help them pay for it.

Giving birth to a daughter was different! They just had to raise her and find her a husband. Even if she didn’t want to get married, the money she earned from doing business like Song Yao belonged to her family!

Even if she didn’t want to do business, how much money could it cost to stay in her family?

Moreover, a daughter was much more considerate than a son!

For example, Song Yao actually thought of buying a washing machine for her family. Wang Hong even wanted to acknowledge Song Yao as her goddaughter!

A few minutes later, the washing machine stopped. Gu Li lifted the lid and took out a clean shirt to hang on the drying rack at the entrance of the courtyard. The villagers were even more envious.

After the residents dispersed, Song Yao told Gu Li that she wanted to add another fridge to the house. She even said that she had left her contact number for the furniture store. As long as the new fridge arrived, she would send it to her house immediately!

Gu Li couldn’t stop smiling.. With such a considerate daughter like Song Yao, she wouldn’t even exchange for ten sons!
