Chapter 1010: Worthless

~7 min read 1,375 words

At 9:00 AM, Lu Chuan waited for Qin Yun and He Kuang at the highway entrance.

However...

"Didn't you say you'd only drive one car, so you two could take turns?" It's a nearly ten-hour drive, it would be a bit tiring if there was only one driver.

He Kuang shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, that kind of fairyland treasure land, it's not easy to go there, what's the point of driving one car with someone else? If I want to buy something later, I won't be able to bring it back."

Qin Yun also nodded: "Yes, yes, my car can't hold much stuff anyway, if I have to share half with He Kuang, the loss would be too great!"

Lu Chuan:...

Two SUVs, may I ask where the space isn't enough? Looking at your bulging wallets, have you never thought that they might not sell it to you?

However, since they had already decided, Lu Chuan didn't talk nonsense: "Alright, let's go, but we have to rest at the highway station for an hour and a half at noon."

This way, after deducting the time for eating and resting, everyone could still sleep for a short while.

"Fine, fine, fine!" The two guys who had their days and nights reversed had finally woken up early to drive here, and now they were all relying on the food ahead to keep them going, so they couldn't wait when they heard they were leaving.

And just as Lu Chuan pulled open the car door, he suddenly thought of something and turned to ask: "Did you both save up drafts?"

He Kuang:...

Qin Yun:...

"Well..." The two spoke with justification: "I wanted to write last night, but staying up late is bad for the body, so I thought I'd just go to bed early..."

Of course, the result was that he couldn't go to bed early, and the draft wasn't written either. As for the saved drafts...

"No need to save!" The big man said with great confidence: "Staying in the countryside is quite boring, I'll have plenty of time to work then, it won't affect the updates!"

Lu Chuan was simply speechless.

He turned to get into the car, but it was Qin Yun who stopped him:

"Wait!"

He leaned over, curiously examining Lu Chuan's attire:

"What's going on with you? I've noticed your clothing and dressing have become more and more high-end in the past six months! Now we're wearing windbreakers, what are you wearing! Does this match?"

He and He Kuang, two rough big men, were wearing thermal underwear, sweaters, and windbreakers. As for the colors, they were nothing more than blue, black, or green, which were dirt-resistant.

At most, the windbreakers used some bright orange or green.

But Lu Chuan?

Outside, an infallible black mid-length down jacket, inside, an oatmeal-colored cashmere sweater, the pants were also simple black pants, and you could only see the knitting lines when you got close.

He was even wearing a black baseball cap on his head.

But clearly, it was such a low-key combination, yet standing there, he looked many times more high-end than the two of them, Qin Yun was dying of jealousy: "Quick, tell the truth!"

Lu Chuan was rarely silent.

Finally, Lu Jing couldn't hold back, rolled down the car window and laughed uncontrollably:

"Oh my, Xiao Qin, asking him is not as good as asking me—that cashmere sweater he's wearing close to his skin cost less than three thousand after the discount."

"The pants are also cashmere-woven, costing over five thousand."

"The down jacket is quite ordinary, less than 2000 yuan."

Why did Lu Jing know so clearly?

Because when the temperature dropped, she bought Lu Chuan a wool sweater—the price wasn't expensive, but it wasn't too rough either!

As a result, her "pea son" couldn't stand it after wearing it for only half an hour. Lu Jing was still pondering that he was being pretentious, but when she opened the wardrobe—

Good heavens!

The clothes worn close to the skin in winter were either cashmere or cotton that had been washed many times, the fineness and fabric were all top-notch, focusing on being soft and skin-friendly.

And expensive and difficult to take care of.

After all, cashmere is delicate and difficult to serve, and it shouldn't even be worn continuously, because the fibers need time to recover, otherwise it's easy to pill.

Cleaning can only be done by hand in cold water, or in the washing machine on the wool/cashmere setting, and you have to use a special detergent.

With Lu Jing's rough style of only loving big gold bracelets, where would she have the patience to serve this kind of clothing? Her own clothes were all bought blindly online.

Not to mention anything else, they were both cashmere sweaters, she could buy one for 200 yuan. It's just the quality...

Sigh!

In short, this spendthrift son!

Since his own mother had exposed his bottom line, Lu Chuan didn't intend to hide it: "Well, my skin is sensitive, and some fabrics are rough, which makes me uncomfortable—I'm too lazy to try and fail, so I just switched to cashmere."

And He Kuang leaned over, staring at his plain baseball cap, and also turned sour:

"Fine, fine, fine, being single means you're willing to spend money and invest in yourself! I bought my hat on Pinduoduo, 9.9 yuan with free shipping."

"Why does yours look so expensive!"

Lu Chuan admitted that he wasn't a frugal person. His work was all to better enjoy life, so he generously admitted:

"Well, the hat is also cashmere..."

"I don't understand these materials and stuff, just tell me the price."

He Kuang's eyes looked over, clearly thinking that this hat looked quite good, and he wanted one too—I mean, it's almost New Year, it's not too much to buy yourself a new set of clothes, new shoes, and a new hat, right?

He secretly made up his mind, if this hat didn't exceed 1000, he would buy it too!

Until Lu Chuan opened his mouth: "Well, bought it through a purchasing agent, the hat was 680 US dollars."

Good news: the hat really didn't exceed 1000.

Bad news: the settlement unit is US dollars.

The two "destitute" brothers wearing 600-yuan windbreakers and 99-yuan sets of thermal underwear, remembering that the financial power at home was in the hands of their wives, couldn't help but feel depressed.

Not to mention a 680-dollar hat, even down jackets and long coats might not necessarily end up on them!

According to Qin Yun's wife, Chen Li: "Men, why dress so nicely? As long as you're not freezing, not starving, and not losing face, it's fine."

"Whether a piece of clothing is three or five hundred or three or five thousand, they'll ruin it anyway, it's better to save that money to buy something for the kids!"

The two slammed the car doors in anger and got into the car fiercely.

And then they had to sigh:

"Married men are truly worthless!"

And closing the car door and seeing Lu Chuan take off his down jacket and put it on the back seat, Lu Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Look at you, wearing such nice clothes to the countryside, will you be proud when you make the girls there look gray and dirty?"

"It's fine." Lu Chuan didn't care: "These clothes will pill after two days of wearing, when the time comes, I'll borrow a fabric shaver from the auntie there, and they'll be comfortable."

"Besides, with the planting technology of the Song family, what kind of rich people haven't they seen? They don't wear clothes like this just because there's no cost-effectiveness, not because they can't afford it."

"So there's nothing to worry about."

"What's more, I've met their siblings, Qiao Qiao is innocent and simple, he won't care about these things."

"Song Tan also looks very magnanimous, and she is naturally very spiritual and beautiful, Mom, don't always think about the outside."

"It's good for us to be sincere."

Lu Jing remembered that the 168-yuan knitted sweater she bought online also pilled, and she silently closed her mouth. ===== CHAPTER 1011 =====
