Chapter 565: Five hundred sixty-three, unwelcoming

"You aren’t fooling us, are you? Can it really be that good?" one of the Guard’s Wives asked in disbelief.

"If you don’t believe it, forget it. Anyway, you don’t have a chance now. We’ve already hired people today," Ding Chunni said.

"After the recruitment notice was posted this afternoon, several young people immediately came to sign up. Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Lu picked out a few from among them," Zhou Yan said.

"So they’re not hiring anymore?" Zhou Mudan asked, her hopes not quite extinguished.

"No more hiring. Now it’s all machine-operated, the speed is so much faster. If it weren’t for the need of packing and delivery personnel, the four of us would be more than enough," Sister-in-law Xianglan said with a laugh. They had finished more than double their usual daily workload in just half of the day.

"Then can we go see how you are doing tomorrow?" Wang Yuying asked. In fact, she was still somewhat skeptical of what Ding Chunni and the others had said. That story had been circulating around the town for several years. How could it be false?

"You’ll have to ask Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Lu about that. We don’t call the shots. Alright, we won’t chat anymore. We still need to go home and cook dinner," said Ding Chunni and the other three, ready to head home.

"Wait! How do you work now? Is the salary still calculated the same as before?" Zhou Mudan asked.

"The work hours are now from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon. Each of us gets fifty yuan a month, and if we work overtime, we get paid extra," Sister-in-law Xianglan said with a smile. This salary was already catching up to her husband’s, and she still had time to come home, cook dinner, and take care of the children. She could even manage the housework in the morning. She was truly very, very satisfied.

Watching Zhou Yan and her three companions leave, everyone else was filled with regret and envy. Fifty yuan a month!

"No, I must see it with my own eyes tomorrow," Zhou Mudan said, her heart still not giving up.

"They definitely said that on purpose just now. How could a month’s salary be that high?"

"Right! Let’s go see for ourselves and expose their lies." Deep down, everyone was reluctant to believe what Zhou Yan and her companions had said. If it turned out to be true, they would truly regret it so much they wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep.

When Luo Shu got home, she received a call from Wang Fei. She had already informed them of her pregnancy.

"We’ve all discussed it and decided to visit you now before school starts," Wang Fei said. They were all very happy to hear about Luo Shu’s pregnancy. But the thought of having to wait a long time before seeing Luo Shu again made them a bit sad. So after discussing it, they decided to visit Luo Shu now.

"When will you come? I’ll arrange a flight for you," Luo Shu said. She was happy that they could come.

"Can you arrange it for tomorrow? School is about to start, and if it’s any later than that, there won’t be enough time," Wang Fei said.

"Alright! Then go to the airport you went to last time, I’ll arrange the flight," Luo Shu said with a laugh.

"I’ll go tell everyone the news right now. Let’s chat more once we get there tomorrow, bye!"

Luo Shu gave a slight smile, hung up the phone, and was about to get up to take a shower when the phone rang again.

Glancing at the caller ID, Luo Shu reached for the phone. "Godmother!"

"Luo Shu, have you had any morning sickness in the last couple of days? Should godmother come over and see you?" Zhao Aishu said. Ever since she found out about Luo Shu’s pregnancy, she had been worried.

"No, I’ve been feeling very good," Luo Shu laughed. Besides the daily calls from godmother inquiring after her, her mother-in-law had also been in touch, sometimes two to three times a day, informing her of things to be aware of during pregnancy.

"That won’t do! I’m still not at ease. I’ll take the train over tomorrow and stay with you for a while," Zhao Aishu insisted worriedly.

"Then I’ll arrange a plane for you, you should come by plane," Luo Shu said, looking up and sharing a smile with Lu Hanmo who had just walked in the door.

"I really can’t take planes, I’d rather travel by train, feel safer," Zhao Aishu hastily refused. She had a great fear of heights and couldn’t dare to fly alone.

"It’s such a long journey, I won’t be at ease with you taking the train." The trip from Cloud City to the Northwest was not as long as from Metal, but still required two days by train. How could she possibly rest easy?

"Don’t worry, I often traveled alone when I was young," Zhao Aishu said with a laugh.

"Then I’ll have someone drive to pick you up." She wouldn’t just let her godmother travel all that way by herself.

"No need to go through all that trouble, I can manage with Sister Wang," Zhao Aishu said. She really didn’t like to bother others, and besides, the train was convenient.

Luo Shu could only plead with her at length, and ultimately, Zhao Aishu finally agreed to be picked up, to be accompanied on the train journey.

After hanging up, Luo Shu saw Lu Hanmo approaching with a bowl of tremella soup and smiled softly, reaching out to take the bowl, but Lu Hanmo moved it out of reach.

"I’ll feed you," Lu Hanmo said, sitting down next to her with a smile. He scooped up a spoonful of the tremella soup, blew on it and brought it to Luo Shu’s lips, "Open up, sweetheart!"

Luo Shu opened her mouth and swallowed the soup from the spoon, laughing, "You keep spoiling me like this, I worry that one day I won’t be able to take care of myself."

"Then I’ll do everything," Lu Hanmo said with a smile as he spooned another mouthful of soup, cooled it, and brought it to her lips. He just loved to spoil her, and he intended to do so for the rest of her life.

Luo Shu cast a sweet glance at Lu Hanmo, "Wang Fei and the others are coming tomorrow, so I’m going to stay over at Guantong Lane for the next few days."

"Alright! Then I’ll come over at night too," Lu Hanmo said, taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping away the traces of soup from her mouth. Now that she was pregnant, he was particularly concerned about her being alone.

Luo Shu nodded with a smile, "Godmother will be coming over in a couple of days too."

"Then I’ll ask Mother to come along as well," Lu Hanmo suggested. Ever since learning of Shushu’s pregnancy, his mother had called at least three times a day. Since she was so concerned, it would be better for her to come along as well. He had to pick her up anyway, and it would be convenient.

"Great!" Luo Shu replied with a nod.

The Guard’s Wives arrived in town early in the morning, eager to see for themselves what the house was really like. Was it actually the haunted house from the rumors, or as Zhou Yan and her group had described?

The group turned a corner onto the street and entered the alley, and after a short walk, they saw a very imposing house.

"Could this be it? It doesn’t look like it!"

"How could it be this place? Let’s go further in and see."

"I’ve heard that it’s a very rundown house and has been uninhabited for over a decade."

The Guard’s Wives continued down the alley, stopping only when a dead end appeared ahead.

"Why is there no way through? It should be along this lane."

"Should we ask someone?"

"Let’s do that!"
