Su Man: "You know what I mean. Now, I'll ask one last time, are you buying the washing machine and TV or not?"
Worried that Su Man's mood might affect the development of their unborn son, Wen Siyuan finally relented. He said, "Let's skip the washing machine for now. I'll try to get a TV license and buy the TV first. Will that do?"
"What if you can't get the TV license? Are we not buying it then?" Su Man considered it more practical to buy a washing machine as it would spare her from hand washing, but the thought of having a TV that could attract neighbors to their home made her favor the TV more.
In fact, it was Su Man's vanity at play.

"Let's go, back to the room."
Pointing to the bedroom where the three sisters stayed, Wen Yue hinted to her younger sister, Wen Yi.
