Chapter 511: 509, Wasteful Won Chapter 511: 509, Wasteful Won After finishing the kitchen utensils, they went on to buy quilts, towels, washbasins, rice, and other essentials; Luo Shu even grabbed a few pieces of cloth to make curtains.
By the ti the three returned to the family courtyard, the sky had completely darkened.
Liu Chunhua ca back ho in a daze and, seeing that Wu Yanhua and the children had already returned, realized she hadn’t cooked dinner and hurried into the kitchen to heat up the takeout dishes she had brought back.
“Where did this food co from?” Wu Yanhua asked in surprise upon seeing the dishes Liu Chunhua brought out. He was well aware of their family’s circumstances—usually they would at most have so stewed radishes or make so noodles, and have a few buns as a al. There was absolutely no way they’d have such good food on an ordinary day. His inco not only had to feed the several mouths at ho but also had to send a large portion back to his parents for their retirent.
“This was ordered by that new woman from Instructor Lu’s ho at a restaurant. It seed too wasteful to let it go, so I brought it back,” Liu Chunhua said with a purse of her lips. Thinking about Luo Shu spending money like water, her heart twisted uncomfortably. It was just a pity that money wasn’t hers!
“You went out with her?” Wu Yanhua asked in amazent.
“I happened to be buying flour today and t her and Centurion Yang’s family at the bus station. You have no idea how extravagant she is. Guess how much money she spent in just this one outing?” Liu Chunhua looked at Wu Yanhua, waiting for his answer.
Wu Yanhua glanced at Liu Chunhua’s exaggerated expression and ventured, “Three or four hundred maybe.” He understood his wife well; she was the type who treated a di as if it were ten yuan. Since Lu Hanmo had just arrived at the training camp, it stood to reason they had nothing at ho, so it was natural for his wife to go out and buy more things.
“Three or four hundred? Heh…” Liu Chunhua let out a hollow laugh, “It was three or four thousand.”
“What!?” Wu Yanhua’s hand, poised to pick up food, froze in mid-air, his face a picture of disbelief as he looked at Liu Chunhua. Three or four thousand could build a three-layer house—could her claim be an exaggeration?
“Unexpected, huh? That reckless woman spent over two thousand just on furniture, and with pots, pans, and the like, the total ca to exactly three thousand two hundred. She’s quite attractive, that reckless woman, but with such spending habits, who could afford her? When Instructor Lu cos back this ti, he might even get angry with her,” Liu Chunhua said with schadenfreude. She was nearly itching to sneak over to Luo Shu’s ho to eavesdrop and see whether Luo Shu would get a scolding.
Wu Yanhua was totally flabbergasted! That was three or four years of his inco! She definitely was a reckless spender! If Liu Chunhua dared to spend money like that, he’d thrash her to death.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo were sitting in a bamboo house in their space, eating dinner. Their ho was so bare they had nowhere to sit, making it impossible to cook.
“Wife, you’ve worked hard this ti,” Lu Hanmo said with a smile, placing a rib into Luo Shu’s bowl. He had just arrived here and had a lot of responsibilities to take over; he couldn’t take ti off these past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Shushu tackle all this alone.
“It’s not hard. After all, this is where we’re going to live, so of course it ought to be a bit more comfortable. We can’t always be sleeping in this space, right?” Luo Shu said as she picked up a rib for Lu Hanmo as well.
“Squadron Leader Xu told today that he will be hosting us next week,” Lu Hanmo said.
Luo Shu nodded and swallowed her mouthful of food, “Then I’ll prepare so gifts.” It was only right to bring sothing when soone kindly invites you to a banquet.
“In addition to us, Squadron Leader Zhao’s family and Captain Li’s family will also be there,” Lu Hanmo continued.
“Alright!” Luo Shu said with a smile, nodding her head. Having co to the training camp, she was ready to integrate herself into this community.
Just as Luo Shu was preparing to step out, a young soldier ran over, “Sister-in-Law, a group of people has co to renovate your house.”
“Okay!” Luo Shu nodded and walked towards the front gate of the family courtyard.
Approaching the gate, she saw a large truck parked there with seven or eight n waiting beside it.
When they saw Luo Shu coming over, the n straightened up and looked at her respectfully. They were from Tenglong Group and naturally knew who Luo Shu was. General Manager Luo had arranged for them to catch a flight here just last night. By the ti they had arrived, all of the renovation materials were already in place.
The man leading the team stepped forward and respectfully called out to Luo Shu, “Chairman! We’re here to renovate your house.” They were Tenglong Group’s own renovation crew, usually responsible for the stores’ renovations.
“Just call by my na,” Luo Shu said to the team leader. Having spent so much money yesterday, and hearing the gossip from the guard’s wives on her way over, she did not want to reveal her identity and be considered an outsider.
While she didn’t care about this, she needed to live here for a long ti, and it would be best to blend in with the others. If she couldn’t, then there was nothing she could do about it.
“This…” Wang Jinhui was hesitant.
“That’s settled then!” Luo Shu stated firmly.
“Okay!” Aware of Luo Shu’s decisive manner, Wang Jinhui no longer hesitated.
With Luo Shu’s approval, the workers registered their identity information and the truck was allowed through.
Arriving at Luo Shu’s ho, the group imdiately started moving the renovation materials inside and began work on the house.
The house that Luo Shu was now living in required not only internal renovations but also had significant external issues, especially the roof tiles, which needed to be completely replaced to prevent leaks when it rained.
Upon hearing that Luo Shu’s ho was being renovated, quite a few of the guard’s wives in the family courtyard ca to see what was going on.
“Instructor Lu’s family really knows how to fuss over things.”
“They bought so much stuff yesterday, and now today they’re starting on the house.”
“Exactly! If I were Instructor Lu, I’d send that reckless spender straight back to her parents’ ho.”
“Indeed, even if they have money, it shouldn’t be blown like this. This renovation will cost how much?!”
Zhang Xiaoling, upon hearing the news, also hurried over and upon seeing the activity at Luo Shu’s ho, approached Luo Shu, “Luo Shu, where did you hire this renovation crew?”
“I got them through a relative,” Luo Shu replied.
“Luo Shu, I’m willing to pay them; could you please ask if they could also fix up my house a bit?” Zhang Xiaoling asked. She was sowhat unhappy with her ho’s current condition and naturally would prefer it to be improved.
“I’ll ask them for you in a bit,” Luo Shu promised with a smile.
“Thank you, Luo Shu. These workers probably have nowhere to eat lunch, right? Why don’t I go and cook for them?” Zhang Xiaoling offered.
