Zhu Huizhen naturally knew everyone’s mentality, but since they were all from the same circle, it was not nice to let them lose face, and she too was happy today.
"Sister-in-law, why don’t you call Hanmo and ask?" Wu Xueling also spoke up. This was a matter that would bring honor to the Lu family!
"Well, alright!" Zhu Huizhen smiled and nodded, walked over to the telephone, and dialed Lu Hanmo’s base.
When Lu Hanmo walked out of the interrogation room, he heard the phone ringing in the nearby office. Seeing that no one was there, he walked over.
Picking up the phone, Lu Hanmo asked indifferently, "Drum Mountain Training Camp, who are you looking for?" Anyone who knew this phone number was basically a family member of someone at the base.
"Is that Hanmo?" Zhu Huizhen immediately recognized Lu Hanmo’s voice and asked with some surprise.
"Mom!" Lu Hanmo recognized his mother’s voice. He found it odd; hadn’t she just called yesterday?
"Hanmo, mom is at Aunt Ma Qin’s place today, and she said she has a bottle of Snow Skin Cream made by Luo Shu. Can you help mom ask Luo Shu for some Snow Skin Cream? Those old sisters are all waiting to buy some," Zhu Huizhen said.
Lu Hanmo smiled helplessly, "How many bottles do you need?" Shushu had also asked him before if he wanted her to send some Snow Skin Cream to his mother. At that time, he was concerned that his family members would give her a hard time once they knew about Shushu, so he had her hold off on sending any, waiting until grandfather could persuade the family. Regardless of what his family members thought of Shushu, he was going to marry her, but he did not want Shushu to suffer any grievances.
The excellence of Shushu, however, exceeded his expectations. Before his grandfather had a chance to convince the family, she had already won their approval. This could be seen from his mother’s attitude after she learned about Shushu.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Huizhen said, "Maybe start with mailing twenty bottles to mom? I’ll transfer the money to you later."
"Then I will have Shushu send them out to you tomorrow," Lu Hanmo agreed.
"Great! I won’t keep you any longer," Zhu Huizhen said and hung up the phone. She looked at the others with a smile, "The Snow Skin Cream will be sent out tomorrow. Once it arrives, I’ll let you all know, and you can just give me the money then." They certainly weren’t lacking that bit of money; she wouldn’t let her future daughter-in-law do a losing business!
"Madam Lu, thank you so much! I’d like to reserve two bottles first."
"I want one bottle." By now, everyone no longer harbored any doubts about the relationship between Luo Shu and the Lu family. Thinking that the Lu family might climb even higher because of Luo Shu, everyone became even warmer and more respectful toward Zhu Huizhen.
The approval for the land came very quickly; it only took one day for the Town Official Residence to send someone to notify Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu.
After lunch, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu went to the Town Official Residence.
"Please take a seat, the two of you! Xiaochen, go brew two cups of tea," Li Changgen said with a smile, welcoming Luo Shu and her brother. After what had happened the day before, he too felt somewhat apologetic. While the spy hadn’t been summoned by him, it was his suggestion to dine at the Welcome Guest Hotel.
Once Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu were seated, Li Changgen handed them a document, "This is the approval for the land, please take a look at it."
"Okay!" Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu nodded, each took an official copy, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, placed the documents back on the table.
"We’ve troubled you this time, Mayor Li!" Luo Qianyu said with a smile.
Li Changgen waved his hands with a smile, "No trouble! Not at all! Compared to the two of you’s contributions to Cloud City, this is nothing. By the way, Instructor Lu called me this morning; he said to call him back when you have time." Lu Hanmo had come the previous day to apprehend Zhang Jiao and had asked for a phone number for his office, as it was not far from Luo Shu’s home.
Luo Shu nodded, "Mayor Li, may I use your phone to call him?" It seemed she should also get a telephone installed at home to avoid this kind of inconvenience.
"Of course! Feel free to use it. Should I step out?" Li Changgen asked with a chuckle. He was aware of Luo Shu’s relationship with Lu Hanmo and thought they might have things to discuss that would be awkward in his presence.
"It’s no problem," Luo Shu said with a smile as she shook her head and picked up the phone to make the call. Even if there were matters to discuss quietly, she wouldn’t do so here.
The young man who answered the call laughed when he heard Luo Shu give her name, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment; I’ll go call the instructor for you right away." Everyone in the training camp already knew that Lu Hanmo was in a relationship.
"Thank you! I’ll call back in five minutes," Luo Shu said as she hung up, chuckling.
Before two minutes had passed, the phone rang again. Guessing it was Lu Hanmo, Luo Shu picked it up, "Hello!"
"Shushu, it’s me!" came Lu Hanmo’s clear and pleasant voice from the other end.
A smile curved the corners of Luo Shu’s mouth, "Mayor Li mentioned you wanted to talk to me."
"Yes! My family now knows about our relationship, and my mom is very happy," Lu Hanmo said with a smile, feeling very good.
"That’s wonderful!" Luo Shu replied with a smile. She had finally won the approval of the Lu family with her efforts.
"That’s because you’re outstanding," Lu Hanmo said tenderly with a smile.
"You didn’t call just to tell me this, did you?" Luo Shu asked, chuckling.
"My mom found out that you were the one who made the Snow Skin Cream and called me to tell you to send some over," Lu Hanmo said somewhat helplessly.
Luo Shu laughed softly, "Give me the address." It was the first time her future mother-in-law had asked her to do something, and naturally, she wanted to make a good
