Chapter 737: Seven hundred thirty-five, Thoughts
Luo Shu smiled and nodded, "After you finish this bottle, the skin all over your body will undergo a transformation." There’s a bit of Spiritual Spring in Snow Skin Cream, though the amount is small, the change it can bring to ordinary people is tremendous.
"For such an amazing product, one thousand yuan a bottle is really not expensive."
"I didn’t believe it at first, but now I finally believe in its effects, it’s simply miraculous!"
"My skin has become much fairer all of a sudden." The faces of Qi Hui and her two friends were filled with excitement and elation.
"Applying it before going to bed at night has the most notable effect," said Luo Shu. She naturally had confidence in her own product.
"Great!" Qi Hui and the others nodded, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the Snow Skin Cream in their hands.
After sitting for a while, Qi Hui and her friends left, planning to wait for their men to come home and give them a surprise.
No sooner had they left Luo Shu’s home than they ran into two Guard’s Wives.
The two Guard’s Wives greeted Qi Hui and her friends with smiles, then stared intently at their faces.
"Sister-in-law Li, did you wear makeup? Why does your complexion look so good?"
"What kind of makeup are you using? The effect is really outstanding."
"We used Snow Skin Cream," Qi Hui said with a smile.
"Snow Skin Cream? The one that’s one thousand yuan a bottle?" Ma Sanni exclaimed. She knew about Snow Skin Cream and had heard of its effects, but she couldn’t afford it.
"What kind of stuff costs one thousand yuan?!" He Xiaofang said incredulously, eyes widened. One thousand yuan a bottle, was it made of gold?
"You three Sister-in-Laws must have applied it at Sister-in-law Lu’s place, right? Only Sister-in-law Lu would be willing to spend so much on such a thing," Ma Sanni said with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Qi Hui and her friends were always very frugal and would absolutely not spend so much on an item.
"Yes, Luo Shu gave each of us a..." As Qi Hui was about to tell Ma Sanni about Luo Shu giving them the Snow Skin Cream, Wu Yuan tugged at her sleeve and she immediately stopped.
"We still have things to take care of," Wu Yuan interjected, and then, pulling Qi Hui and Fang Jingmei, she headed in the direction of their homes. Snow Skin Cream was no ordinary item, and they couldn’t let others know that Luo Shu had given it to them. What if they went to Luo Shu to ask for it? Wouldn’t that cause trouble for Luo Shu?
Ma Sanni withdrew her gaze and snorted, "What’s so great about that!"
"Sanni, you were just talking about that Snow Skin Cream, why is it so expensive?" He Xiaofang was still struggling with this question.
"It’s a makeup product, didn’t you see the change in Qi Hui and the others?" Ma Sanni asked. Ever since she learned about Snow Skin Cream, she had been dreaming about owning a bottle, but at one thousand yuan a bottle, her husband’s annual allowance only amounted to that much.
"I know it’s a makeup product, but that’s way too expensive," He Xiaofang still couldn’t accept it. In the sales point, a bottle of Snowflake Cream only cost two mao; Snow Skin Cream was only one word different, but so much more expensive—how could she come to terms with that?
"It might be expensive for us, but not for Luo Shu. Didn’t you hear what Qi Hui said, that Luo Shu gave each of them a bottle?" Ma Sanni said. Although Qi Hui hadn’t finished her sentence, she had understood her meaning loud and clear.
"They each got a bottle?! No wonder everyone’s been calling Sister-in-law Lu a spendthrift behind her back. Even if you have money, that’s not how you should spend it," He Xiaofang said, feeling a bit resentful in her heart. Indeed, comparison is the thief of joy.
"Let’s go home and see if we have something nice to bring to Luo Shu. Who knows, she might be happy and give us a bottle too," Ma Sanni said as she quickly walked towards her own home.
He Xiaofang thought for a moment and then turned to walk towards the Guard’s Members Building. She had to spread this news to everyone.
Luo Shu was eating when she heard a knock on the door. With her current level of cultivation, she actually didn’t need to eat, but habits she had for years were not easy to change. Most importantly, she didn’t want to change them.
She stepped out of the house, opened the gate, and saw Ma Sanni standing at the door with a beaming smile.
"Sister-in-law Lu, I heard you’ve only just returned home with Deputy Squadron Leader Lu. You must not have much to eat at home, so I thought I’d bring you some steamed buns," Ma Sanni said, holding out the basket in her hand to Luo Shu.
"Thank you for your kindness! I’ve already eaten, so you should take the buns back," Luo Shu declined with a smile. She wasn’t familiar with the other party, who surely had an ulterior motive for offering such generous help and it wasn’t just about delivering steamed buns.
"Sister-in-law Lu, please just accept them. They’re just a few steamed buns; keep them for yourself," Ma Sanni insisted, pushing the bamboo basket towards Luo Shu. Once she had built a good relationship with Luo Shu, it wouldn’t be too late to ask for the Snow Skin Cream.
"Sister-in-law Lu! Sister-in-law Yu!" While the two were speaking, another Guard’s Wife came over. She had come after hearing about Luo Shu giving Snow Skin Cream to Qi Hui and the others.
"Sister-in-law Lu, take this lard, I rendered it myself, it’s very clean," the Guard’s Wife said, offering a bowl of lard to Luo Shu. If she could trade a bowl of lard for a bottle of Snow Skin Cream, it would be an incredible deal.
"No need, thank you!" Luo Shu said, clearly understanding their intentions. It seemed they had heard something before coming over.
"Sister-in-law Lu, just take it. This lard smells so good, and if you put it in vegetable porridge, it’s truly delicious," the Guard’s Wife said, pushing the lard towards Luo Shu again.
"Oh my! This sure is lively," two more Guard’s Wives came over.
Luo Shu glanced at the items in the hands of the two women and said to the four, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I will not accept your items. Please take them back with you!"
"Sister-in-law Lu, why won’t you accept them?"
"Yes, you should at least give us a reason," they protested.
"You’re not rejecting them because you look down on us, are you?"
Luo Shu smiled slightly and shook her head, "If I were to accept your things, what would others think? What if someone says I’m taking bribes because I’m the Deputy Squadron Leader’s wife? If this gets out in the Guard District, it could cause trouble for my husband. So please take your things back."
"It’s just some small items, surely no one would talk," they reasoned.
"Yeah, and it’s not like we’re giving them to you just to suck up," they said, harboring their own desire for Snow Skin Cream.
"But the fear of gossip is formidable! Sometimes a small matter can cause a big stir, and it’s not the first or second time this has happened. I really don’t want to be the subject of gossip anymore," Luo Shu said, clearly still shaken by past events. No matter their reasons for coming, she wasn’t going to accept their offerings.
