Chapter 1189 - 1190: Planning to Train the Ning Family’s Third Generation?
Chapter 1189: Chapter 1190: Planning to Train the Ning Family’s Third Generation?
The so-called "with a virtuous wife, a husband suffers less adversity." Marrying a virtuous wife benefits three generations, and though Cheng Su, whom Qi Taiguo married, may have a temper or be somewhat selfish, she is absolutely appropriate in general.
Since ancient times, marriages, especially among wealthy families, are arranged for the sake of family interests. In choosing a wife, one must consider how much benefit she can bring to the family. If this is achieved, nothing else matters much.
As for Cheng Su, the wife of Qi Taiguo, she not only brought him a life free of worries but also provided support. Is this not fortune?
The Ning Family, it can be said, aligned with the Cheng family because of Cheng Su, and as for the Cheng Family, that goes without saying.
The Ning Family’s view of Cheng Su might also have been influenced by the admiration and liking of Old Master Ning, but there was undoubtedly a hint of interest involved.
However, when Ning Ge looked at how Old Master Ning regarded Cheng Su, it was as if she were his daughter. In this regard, there was less calculation and more sincerity.
Precisely because of this, Ning Ge laid all of Cheng Su’s matters on the table, trying to bring the Cheng family into the fold.
Though exploiting Old Master Cheng’s feelings was undeniable, there was no other way. Although the Ning Family wasn’t without power, their main force was in the north, while Guangcheng was the Cheng family’s territory in the south. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so involving the Cheng family is best.
"Xiao Cheng is indeed a good person, Taiguo, you are truly fortunate. Cherish her!" Old Master Ning said.
"I will surely regard her as my life!" Qi Taiguo immediately responded.
Ning Ge heard this, slightly bowed his head, the smile at the corner of his mouth a touch bitter, yet it quickly dissipated.
However, although he recovered swiftly, Old Master Ning caught it, making him pause briefly.
Could it be Xiao Si...
Sigh, fate has always been predestined.
"The Cheng family has their own influence and tasks, as do we. Taiguo, now that you’ve been promoted to vice battalion commander, you’re dealing with higher levels. You need to be even more cautious in the future..." Ning Gang advised Qi Taiguo on how to conduct himself.
Qi Taiguo sat upright, listened attentively, occasionally asking about matters he couldn’t understand.
"Our Ning Le graduated from the military academy this year. I plan to assign him to your place. Normally, you don’t have to do much; just train him well and curb the boy’s arrogance," Ning Gang continued.
Qi Taiguo was taken aback. Train the Ning family’s third generation?
"The boy doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Sending him to the local military district can temper his character. I believe in you," Ning Gang said, "Don’t worry about his identity, as a soldier won’t be one unless they bleed."
Qi Taiguo felt a little apprehensive. Even if that’s the case, finding the right balance seemed challenging!
Old Master Ning, perceiving Qi Taiguo’s concerns, said, "Taiguo, you need not worry. This year, with many new recruits joining, treat everyone equally. His identity will not be disclosed. The stricter the training, the better survival chances they’ll have on the battlefield. A moment’s mercy might become a death warrant in battle!"
"Exactly!" Ning Gang said, "Our Ning family doesn’t need weaklings. Without bleeding, it’s just sending them to their doom."
"Since both the old chief and the commander say so, I will do my utmost," Qi Taiguo solemnly declared.
Both nodded their approval.
Seeing this, Ning Ge couldn’t help but worry for his proud nephew, realizing these good days were numbered!
Meanwhile, in Guangcheng, the Cheng family was discussing the same topic.
