Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 316: Did You Really Buy a Television?

However, after asking about the price, Jiang Ran truly realized just how expensive televisions are these days.

She knew televisions were pricey, but she never expected them to be this expensive.

The television she found a bit too small already cost several hundred bucks.

Those that seemed barely acceptable to her were already over a thousand.

A thousand bucks is quite a lot of money now.

Many people don’t even have five hundred bucks in savings, let alone spend a thousand on a television.

Staring at the televisions, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought.

Should she buy a smaller one now, or wait for a new model to come out?

While Jiang Ran was hesitating, she caught a glimpse of Pei Huai heading toward a sales clerk. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Seeing Pei Huai’s actions, Jiang Ran snapped out of her thoughts and quickly followed, "What are you doing?"

"Paying."

Jiang Ran, "But I haven’t said I want to buy it yet..."

"No problem, I’m buying it."

Jiang Ran, "..."

He made a good point, and although she wanted to argue, she didn’t know how to at the moment.

Moreover, after spending so much time with Pei Huai, Jiang Ran had come to understand his personality.

Once he’d made up his mind, much like herself, it was unlikely to change.

Jiang Ran hadn’t even figured out how to persuade him to change his mind, and even if she did, Pei Huai might not listen.

With that in mind, Jiang Ran just let Pei Huai go ahead.

Pei Huai quickly reached the sales clerk and told them he wanted to buy a television.

There were a few sales clerks selling televisions, but they rarely had business and just passed the time here most days.

After all, so few people could afford a television now.

When Pei Huai said he wanted to buy a television, a few clerks were momentarily stunned and just stared at Pei Huai.

After confirming multiple times that Pei Huai was serious and not joking, they quickly attended to him.

Buying a television didn’t require any particularly complex procedures.

Once you chose your television and ensured there were no issues, you paid, got a receipt, and just waited for the installation technician to come.

There’s no wireless network now, so to watch TV, you must install an antenna at home.

They didn’t need to install it themselves; they just needed to pay a certain fee, and a technician would install and set it up for them.

Once everything was sorted, they followed the installation technician back home.

This was when the benefit of having few buyers became apparent.

Since there were no other buyers, the installation technician was free, and after they paid, he directly went with them.

When they got home, Pei Shanshan was leading a group of girls making pastries.

Seeing Jiang Ran and Pei Huai return together with a technician and a big boxed item, she was incredibly curious and rushed over to ask what it was.

Upon hearing it was to install a television, her expression was one of utter surprise.

Pei Shanshan’s mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

"Television?" Pei Shanshan covered her mouth, taking a while before continuing, "Sister-in-law! Is it really a television? You really bought a television?"

Listening to Pei Shanshan’s barrage of questions, Jiang Ran pointed to Pei Huai, "It wasn’t me who bought it; it was your big brother who did."
