Chapter 511: 509, Wasteful Women

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 time the three returned to the family courtyard, the sky had completely darkened.

Liu Chunhua came back home 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 come 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 some stewed radishes or make some noodles, and have a few buns as a meal. There was absolutely no way they’d have such good food on an ordinary day. His income not only had to feed the several mouths at home but also had to send a large portion back to his parents for their retirement.

"This was ordered by that new woman from Instructor Lu’s home at a restaurant. It seemed 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 amazement.

"I happened to be buying flour today and met 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 dime as if it were ten yuan. Since Lu Hanmo had just arrived at the training camp, it stood to reason they had nothing at home, 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 came 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 comes back this time, he might even get angry with her," Liu Chunhua said with schadenfreude. She was nearly itching to sneak over to Luo Shu’s home to eavesdrop and see whether Luo Shu would get a scolding.

Wu Yanhua was totally flabbergasted! That was three or four years of his income! 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 home was so bare they had nowhere to sit, making it impossible to cook.

"Wife, you’ve worked hard this time," 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 time 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 me 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 some gifts." It was only right to bring something when someone 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 come 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 come 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 men waiting beside it.

When they saw Luo Shu coming over, the men 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 time 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 me by my name," 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 time, 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 home, the group immediately 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 home was being renovated, quite a few of the guard’s wives in the family courtyard came 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’ home."

"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 home, 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 somewhat unhappy with her home’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.
