Chapter 522: 520, siblings

"Hmm!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile.

"Here, this money is for you." Zhang Xiaoling handed one and a half yuan to Luo Shu.

"But you made all those cakes," Luo Shu said with a smile, shaking her head. She had simply been idle and bored and helped her out.

"If you hadn’t taught me how to make cakes, how could I have made them? Plus, we already agreed to be partners, to split it fifty-fifty. If you don’t take it, I might get angry," Zhang Xiaoling insisted, forcing one and a half yuan into Luo Shu’s hand.

Luo Shu smiled and didn’t try to return the money.

Zhang Xiaoling spotted a noodle shop up ahead, and pulled Luo Shu toward it. "Let’s go eat some noodles before we head back." From last night till now, she had been constantly worried on her journey here, afraid that the cakes wouldn’t sell. Now that the weight was off her shoulders, her hunger finally made itself known.

The two entered the noodle shop and saw that it was quite crowded.

And to their surprise, they saw a familiar face there—it was Liu Chunhua, who would split a penny into two to spend it. Before her sat a young man.

Liu Chunhua also noticed Luo Shu and Zhang Xiaoling, but she was not in the mood to attend to them.

"Big sister, you have to save me this time. Otherwise, they are going to chop off my hands," Liu Chunguang pleaded as he looked at Liu Chunhua.

He always liked to hang out with a bunch of buddies and play cards. This time, the game with his friends had gotten out of hand, and he had racked up a huge debt. At first, he thought that given his relationship with the other party, they probably wouldn’t be too harsh on him.

But unexpectedly, they turned against him, bringing a large group of people to his house to demand the debt. When he said he didn’t have the money, they threatened him, saying that if he didn’t pay back within ten days, they would chop off his hands.

Having no other option, he sought out Liu Chunhua here, hoping she could lend him some money to settle the debt.

"Where do I have money? You know how much your brother-in-law earns in a month. We still have to send back most of it to our family," Liu Chunhua said. She was still in pain over the amount she had spent on the bowl of noodles today.

"Are you really going to just watch them chop off my hands? I’m your real brother!" Liu Chunguang took a bite of his noodles and looked at Liu Chunhua. He had already made up his mind; if she didn’t give him money, he would go to her family’s residential area in the training camp. No matter how fierce those people were, they wouldn’t dare enter the residential area of the training camp.

"I want to help you, but I just don’t have the means," Liu Chunhua said, visibly swallowing hard as she watched the bowl of noodles in front of Liu Chunguang. She had not eaten noodles for a long time but really couldn’t bring herself to order two bowls.

Liu Chunguang picked up the bowl and gulped down the noodle soup, leaving not a single green onion behind. With a smack of his lips, he said, "If you won’t help me, I’ll just stay at your place." He was determined to impose himself on her.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chunhua hurriedly shook her head in refusal. "Chunguang, you know your brother-in-law’s temper. If I take you back, he’ll definitely cause a fuss with me." She knew best what her brother was like. If he went to her place, he would surely overstay his welcome. And he was particularly fond of eating—there was hardly enough food for her own family. No! She absolutely couldn’t let him follow her home.

"So, big sister, are you planning to just watch me die?" Liu Chunguang looked at the bowl in front of him and thought for a moment before picking it up and licking it clean, not stopping until it was spotless. Only then did he resign himself and put the bowl down.

Luo Shu was seated opposite Liu Chunhua and her brother, and when she saw Liu Chunguang licking the bowl, she felt a wave of disgust and put down her chopsticks.

"Why aren’t you eating anymore? Is the noodle not tasty?" Zhang Xiaoling asked in surprise, seeing that Luo Shu had only taken one bite before putting down her chopsticks.

"I can’t eat it," Luo Shu said with a bitter smile. Who knew if her bowl had also been licked by someone else.

Zhang Xiaoling couldn’t finish her half-eaten bowl of noodles either and put down her chopsticks, saying, "Let’s go buy some eggs and head back."

Luo Shu nodded, stood up, and walked outside with Zhang Xiaoling.

Liu Chunhua watched Luo Shu and her company leave, touched her stomach, which was grumbling with hunger, stood up, and walked to the table where Luo Shu and the others had sat. Seeing Luo Shu’s bowl of noodles, which was practically untouched, her eyes suddenly lit up. What a wasteful woman, to not even touch such delicious noodles.

"Sister," the server approached to collect the bowls and saw Liu Chunhua taking two bowls of leftover noodles back to her own table, asking with some displeasure, "Why are you taking other people’s noodles?"

"I know them; they live in the same compound as I do. We usually share food like this, and besides, it would be a waste to throw away such good noodles," Liu Chunhua said, thick-skinned and smiling.

The server gave Liu Chunhua a disdainful look and went to another table to collect bowls.

After Luo Shu and Zhang Xiaoling bought eggs, they arrived at the bus station, where they saw a few Guards’ Wives, including Liu Chunhua and Liu Chunguang.

"Sister-in-law Lu, Sister-in-law Yang," the Guards’ Wives quickly greeted Luo Shu and Zhang Xiaoling with smiles.

"Sister-in-law Lu, you didn’t buy much today," they thought Luo Shu would splurge again today, but saw she was still only carrying a basket, just like when she arrived.

"There’s nothing I needed to buy," Luo Shu said with a light smile, feeling a pair of eyes fixated on her. She turned her head and saw Liu Chunguang staring at her with gleaming eyes and frowned in disgust.

"The bus is here; let’s get on quickly. Sister-in-law Lu, you go first." The bus was different from the one they took to come here; it would pass through several stops before finally reaching the training camp—and it was going to be crowded.

Once on the bus, they bought their tickets, and since there were no seats available, Luo Shu and Zhang Xiaoling stood by the window.

Looking at the bus, so crowded there was hardly any space, Luo Shu frowned. It seemed necessary to get a car; otherwise, going out like this was indeed inconvenient.

Seeing Liu Chunguang elbowing his way toward her, Luo Shu glanced at him and moved a bit closer to Zhang Xiaoling.

Liu Chunguang didn’t heed Luo Shu’s warning and slowly moved closer to her. Holding such a beautiful young wife in his arms would surely be heavenly.

Seeing that Liu Chunguang showed no sign of holding back, Luo Shu glared at him coldly and said in a cold voice, "If you come any closer, I’ll throw you out!"

Liu Chunhua, who was chatting with a Guard’s Wife, heard Luo Shu’s words and looked their way, breaking out into a cold sweat. This damned Liu Chunguang was courting death! If he wanted to die, he shouldn’t drag her down with him!
