Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Profligate Ancestor Continues
Xia Xin’s eyelids twitched violently.
Before he could speak, a salesperson nearby approached and said with a beaming smile, “Little sister has really good taste. This is the best-selling and highest-performing TV we have. If you like it, there is a discount if you buy it now.”
This classic sales pitch!
What normal household would buy such a big TV!
So big, how much would that cost?
Xia Xin leaned over quietly to check the price tag below and saw it was actually over twenty thousand!
Seeing the zeroes at the end, Xia Xin’s eyelids spasmed wildly.
Jiangli, completely oblivious, immediately said with excitement upon hearing the salesperson’s words, “It’s cheaper? Can I get a discount? Can I have twenty percent off?”
Why did the ancestors have such a fondness for twenty percent off?
Was it really a good idea to have informed the ancestors about what a discount meant?
“Of course, that’s possible!” the salesperson said with a grin that couldn’t be wider, “Little sister, you’re in luck today. We just so happen to have a twenty-percent-off promotion going on right now!”
I bet it’s twenty percent off every day, right?
Xia Xin looked at Jiangli and opened his mouth, wanting to stop her.
“I’ll take it!” Jiangli declared, slapping the counter decisively, “I want this one, with the discount!”
She looked at Xia Xin, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and asked with a smile, “Isn’t it very cheap?”
Xia *unable to smile* Xin: “…”
Saying there’s a discount today, I guess it’s discounted every day, right?
After all, it’s rare to find someone willing to buy such a big TV!
“Ancestor, maybe, let’s not…” Xia Xin hated to part with so much money.
Before he could finish, Jiangli turned to the salesperson and asked, “Can it be delivered today?”
The salesperson looked troubled: “It’s too late today, our installers have all gone home; we probably can’t do it today. But little sister, if you decide today, we can deliver it first thing tomorrow morning and get it installed for you as soon as possible, so that you can start watching TV early.”
Jiangli clapped her hands, “Okay, that settles it!”
She slapped Xia Xin’s shoulder with a lavish gesture.
Sure enough, squandering is hereditary.
My master’s profligacy must have been inherited from his ancestors.
Xia Xin felt like crying but had no tears; since the ancestor had agreed, he was too embarrassed to disparage Jiangli’s dignity, so he could only cry inwardly while proceeding to the checkout to pay.
The salesperson, who could never have anticipated such good fortune so late in the day, promptly wrote up an order for Xia Xin with a delighted smile.
Xia Xin’s inner sorrow stood in stark contrast to the salesperson’s visible joy.
After purchasing the TV and setting up the delivery for the next day, Xia Xin came out only to see Jiangli dart into a shop next door like a puff of smoke.
He turned to look, and his eyelids twitched again.
Next door was… a door shop.
Xia Xin quickly looked around and realized, without knowing when, they had ended up on a home renovation street.
This so-called home renovation street meant that all the shops here sold various soft and hard furnishings needed for home renovation.
It was just two streets away from the restaurant street they had been to before, and somehow they had ended up here after walking through the night market.
Xia Xin regretted it so much his guts turned green.
Jiangli was nothing like him.
Jiangli was completely enjoying herself.
She dashed into the door shop and directly chose the most luxurious smart door, which cost over thirty thousand.
The costliest smart door this store had was just over thirty thousand.
Xia Xin looked at the balance in his card wallet, his heart bleeding.
Today indeed was… an outpouring of generosity to accompany a true gentleman, a real, stark bleeding!
(Xia Xin: Who will rescue me? With an extravagant ancestor, what should I do?)
