Liu Hu bluntly exposed him: "You want to help? I think you're just craving meat."
Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow: "You don't want to?"
Liu Hu choked, and Wu Xu weakly raised his hand: "Battalion Commander, I'm craving it."
"Clean the house up."
The three men hung their heads dejectedly.
"I'll ask your sister-in-law about this when I get back. It'll probably take a couple of days. She has to go to work at the hospital. I'll let you know when she's rested."
"Thank you, Battalion Commander's wife."
Bang.
The door closed again, and the group erupted in cheers. Lu Huai'an's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Your sister-in-law is a military doctor? Then I'll go to your sister-in-law for all my medical needs from now on."
"Get out of here, or your sister-in-law will be exhausted."
"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, and she's also a military doctor. The Army Corps has struck gold."
"Tiger, you're the only one who's seen your wife? How beautiful is she? More beautiful than all the female soldiers in the cultural troupe?"
......
Su Wantang had no idea that she was being curious about by Lu Huai'an's three roommates. At that moment, she had just finished cleaning her house until it looked brand new.
He rubbed his aching back, sat down, and started calculating the money.
The bicycle, the watch, and the fabric for making clothes—all of these were for Su Wantang's own use; she paid for them all.
As for the rest of the furniture, it's for the two of them, and Su Wantang plans to pay half of that cost.
After calculating the total amount of money, Su Wantang opened the wooden box that was placed in her space.
Even though she had opened it once before, opening it again still made Su Wantang's eyes well up with tears.
Inside were 2,000 yuan in cash, about ten land deeds, half a box of gold and silver jewelry, and some rare receipts, such as radio receipts, watch receipts, and bicycle receipts...
It was more than just money; it was a dowry that Su Zhichen had painstakingly prepared to spare her from suffering.
But unexpectedly, Liu Cuicui benefited from it.
Wiping away her tears, Su Wantang took out the money and tickets, intending to give them to Lu Huai'an later.
She turned and went back into the house, wrote a letter to Su Zhichen, and planned to mail it the next day.
After affixing the stamp, Su Wantang placed the letter on the table.
Hearing footsteps inside the house, Su Wantang knew that Lu Huai'an had returned, and she came out with the money.
After leaving the house, I didn't see Lu Huai'an, but his room door was open, so he must have gone inside.
After entering the house, looking at the two rooms, they tacitly agreed to each have a room, but Lu Huai'an took the initiative to choose the small room with poor lighting, leaving the main room for Su Wantang.
Knock knock knock.
Su Wantang knocked on the door.
Although the door was open and she could see Lu Huai'an tidying his clothes, she didn't rudely walk in.
"What's up?"
Su Wantang nodded.
Lu Huai'an came out, and the two went to the living room.
"Here, these are the receipts for the things we just bought. The bicycle, watch, and fabric are what I need, so I'll pay for those. As for the rest of the furniture, we'll split the money."
"Need not."
"Since you married me and became my daughter-in-law, it is my duty to take on the household expenses."
Su Wantang wanted to say, "Our marriage is fake," but Lu Huai'an suddenly handed her a bankbook, which stopped her from saying what she was about to say.
"This is the allowance I've earned over the years while serving in the military. Apart from the portion I send back to my hometown every month, it's all here. You can use it as you see fit."
"Huh? This isn't a good idea...we..."
"We are husband and wife now!"
Meeting Lu Huai'an's earnest gaze, Su Wantang suddenly realized.
This is a chauvinistic man.
But it's not bad.
"Um."
Su Wantang didn't want to offend Lu Huai'an, so she accepted the passbook but didn't intend to touch the money inside. Instead, she kept it safe for Lu Huai'an.
Seeing that Su Wantang had accepted the bankbook, Lu Huai'an thought of something and said something else.
“I receive a monthly allowance of 120 yuan. I send 20 yuan home, keep 10 yuan for myself, and give you the remaining 90 yuan after I receive my allowance each month.”
"Oh... okay."
Seeing that Su Wantang didn't seem to understand, Lu Huai'an pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Even after Wan Tang went to the hospital, she still gets thirty to fifty yuan a month. A little over a hundred yuan shouldn't be too much for her...
“There’s an unspoken custom in the family compound: when a new sister-in-law comes, they’ll hold a housewarming party. You…” Lu Huai’an paused for a moment.
His probing gaze fell on Su Wantang. Although he saw that she had bought kitchenware, he still couldn't be sure if she knew how to cook.
Hothouse Feast...
Su Wantang was no stranger to her.
That was the dark day she witnessed Huo Jun's hypocritical face.
