Chapter 1530: Chapter 1530: Fubao Goes to School 2

Lu Jiang sighed, "Hearing you say that, I can only change my wishes. I hope our country thrives and prospers, talents spring up, and I can retire early to accompany you. Just like in the books, I’ll go around the world with you."

"That’s a bit difficult," Feng Qingxue mercilessly crushed his dreams. "Traveling through all of our country’s mountains and rivers might be more doable."

For soldiers, the nation imposes extremely strict regulations. Without government approval, a soldier cannot privately leave the country. Especially for someone like Lu Jiang, a high-ranking officer with significant influence, it’s evident that his future is bound to climb even higher.

Lu Jiang gave her a quick peck on the lips, "Can’t you say something nicer?"

"Something nice? Of course. Listen to this: Lu Jiang, I adore you. No matter where or when, I won’t be angry just because you can’t be by my side every day." Feng Qingxue’s gaze softened, her affectionate words flowing effortlessly. "Our life together is long. For the rest of it, I’ll walk alongside you, being that great and virtuous woman supporting you from behind. I’ll take care of the elderly, the children, and the family, making sure you have no worries as you dedicate everything to our nation, ensuring the people can live peacefully and joyfully in enduring stability."

Her shameless self-praise amused Lu Jiang, who couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his chest shaking as she felt the tremors.

Once he finished laughing, Feng Qingxue continued, "Today, I strolled around the residential compound, learned many things, and even met Su Junlin’s eldest daughter, Su Meixiang. I never expected to find her here. Their household income should be decent, right? I remember Bai Xue once said that back when she lived in the capital, Su Junlin’s eldest son and daughter often returned home to ask for living expenses."

Feng Qingxue was thoroughly disdainful of this kind of freeloading behavior.

Lu Jiang thought for a moment—thought for a long time—before recalling that Su Meixiang was Shen Qing’s wife and didn’t have a good reputation. "I’ve heard people say that Su Meixiang usually enjoys dressing up and constantly overspends. By the end of the month, she’s often strapped for cash. For the sake of buying new clothes, she’s even willing to go hungry for half a month."

Feng Qingxue immediately understood.

Women who prioritize fashion over family concerns aren’t uncommon, nor will they disappear just because times have changed.

"I also spent quite a bit of money this year. With Christine’s remittance vouchers, I can’t seem to resist the urge to buy things. It feels so satisfying to purchase stuff." Feng Qingxue said sheepishly, knowing it had led to their family savings dwindling to just over two thousand yuan.

This was after giving away a large portion of the remittance vouchers. If she hadn’t given them away, their savings might all be gone, yet she’d still have leftover vouchers.

Lu Jiang was willing to indulge his wife’s shopping habits. "If you like it, just buy it. If we really run out of money, then we can sell a few gold bars. We have plenty of gold in our house. Other than that one time it’s been used for artifact retrieval, it doesn’t serve much purpose normally."

"It hasn’t come to that," Feng Qingxue reassured him. The household had elderly, children, and plenty of expenses. She wasn’t the type to squander recklessly until all their savings were depleted. Whenever she bought something, aside from gifts, it was usually items they needed immediately or things that were hard to purchase later. She stored some of them away for future use, ensuring that for quite a long time, the family wouldn’t need to buy more.

Lu Jiang understood his wife’s personality and wasn’t worried at all. "Do whatever you want; leave everything to me."

Leave everything to me—so simple to say, yet so rare to fulfill.

But Lu Jiang was undoubtedly one of the few. In all their years of marriage, he had never argued with Feng Qingxue over money. Feng Qingxue had lived happily all these years.
