Chapter 290: You’re So Coquettish
Chapter 290: You’re So Coquettish
Sister Jiang’s mouth is like a knife that stabs people.
Rong Sanshao’s covered his face, obviously he’s on the verge of going mad. He had thought of going into the mountains to hunt and clear his mind, but who knew the deep mountains and old forests were full of demons.
Not bothering to deal with her, he asked someone to push his tyrant cousin in.
His cousin remained cold, aloof, and noble, like a statue.
Rong Sanshao couldn’t bear it in his heart. “Cousin, don’t overthink it. That girl just looks a bit like Yu Tong. In fact, she’s not… think about it. Both her legs were broken, and she was blown away by the typhoon. How could she still be alive?”
The Tyrant, lost in despair, remained silent.
Jiang Ning couldn’t understand this domineering CEO. He pursued his wife relentlessly. When she was alive, he tormented her, and now, he was tormenting himself to death.
Since he was so capable, it was a waste to use anesthesia on him.
So, she just started sewing the stitches right away.
“Hiss!!!”
This tyrant sucked in his breath sharply, his eyes glaring like those of a murderer.
Oh, it seems he’s still feeling the pain
Wait, wasn’t it mentioned that when this Tyrant, in his grief, wanted to make amends, he either cut his own pulse with a knife or pinched the freshly stitched wound with his fingers? It shouldn’t cause him any pain.
Jiang Ning stared coldly. “Need anesthesia?”
Mr. Tyrant sucked in a breath sharply, his mouth twitching. “…Yes, just a little.”
“It’s just an external wound, far less painful than a broken bone.”
Mr. Tyrant, who is bleeding all over and about to be stabbed by a doctor, “…”
After a lot of stitching and mending, it finally took over an hour to get everything sorted out.
The Rong family had no shortage of medicine. Jiang Ning also prepared a prescription for the Tibetan Mastiff and left.
Mr. Rong, the head of the family who just came back, spoke, “Miss Jiang, you’ve really gone to great trouble this time.”
“Not at all.” Jiang Ning gave a polite smile. “I owe Rong Sanshao a favor, and it’s only right to repay it.”
Mr. Rong understood, but still expressed his gratitude.
Anyway, if they hadn’t found a suitable doctor in time, they would have had to resort to official channels.
Building 50 was indeed not ordinary; it was worth making such efforts to befriend them.
Uncle Guan personally escorted them out, his attitude completely different from before. “Miss Jiang, take care.”
After seeing the two off, Mr. Rong closed the door and scolded his son.
“Dad, don’t… don’t hit me, ow…”
Not long after they returned home, there was another knock at the door and there’s another request for medical help.
It turned out that besides Mr. Tyrant and the Second Generation, there were others from the neighborhood who had been injured while hunting in the mountains.
Upon learning that Building 50 had medical skills, someone immediately came seeking help.
It was a servant from the Xiao family, saying their young master was also injured and hoping Jiang Ning could help treat him.
The Xiao family? The son of Vice Chairman of the Owners Committee, Mrs. Xiao.
Jiang Ning found it amusing. She was the one who had led the charge against Building 50 in the first place. Now, where did she get the face?
Ignoring it, she sat down to enjoy a feast: braised pork elbows, hairy crabs, and oil-braised prawns.
After the servant left, Mrs. Xiao herself came.
Unfortunately, the windows and doors were soundproofed, so nobody paid any attention.
The next day, the Tibetan Mastiff came again, not only bringing its own food but also its medicine.
There were several more medicines, including anesthetics and antibiotics, presumably as a thank-you gift for Jiang Ning.
Seeing the Rong family’s effort, it seemed they wanted to continue befriending Building 50.
After some thought, Jiang Ning accepted everything.
Although she didn’t want too much interaction with people, she couldn’t deny the Rong family’s influence in Fengcheng. As long as they didn’t have any ill intentions towards Building 50, some interaction would be acceptable.
Who knows, maybe one day she’ll be able to fly a helicopter too?
Jiang Ning was a little curious. “Can you fly a helicopter?”
“Yes.”
No way, was he some kind of super special police? Was there anything he couldn’t do?
Huo Yishen wasn’t that proud. “The unit selects outstanding talents for comprehensive training from time to time.”
Jiang Ning threw sunflower seeds at him. “Look at how capable you are.”
With both eyebrows raised, Huo Yishen wasn’t embarrassed. “If someone as outstanding as me can attract you, doesn’t that mean you’re even more outstanding?”
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but retort, “Huo Yishen, you’re so coquettish.”
After successfully blending into Building 50, not only did the Tibetan Mastiff come every day, but he even dragged Rong Sanshao, who was in a wheelchair.
Jiang Ning frowned. “With injuries like that, you’re still prancing around the neighborhood every day. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Sis, you’re the only one in the whole neighborhood who doesn’t give me face.”
Not bothering to argue, Jiang Ning saw that his wounds were fine, so she removed the stitches and want to sent him away.
Rong Sanshao inspected the wall structure of Building 50. “Sis, I heard that the arrival of Eternal Night is coming. Do you think our family should build a wall?”
“What does it have to do with me whether you build one or not?”
“Don’t be so indifferent. You saved my life once; who knows, you might save it again?”
Jiang Ning retorted, “What’s the benefit of saving your life again?”
Rong Sanshao felt a bit hurt. “You’re so pragmatic.”
“I’m not pragmatic. Do I have to talk about feelings with you?”
Seeing him being persistent, Jiang Ning gave him a reminder, “Don’t build one. Even if it can keep out what’s outside, can it keep in what’s inside?”
Rong Sanshao laughed playfully, but after thinking it over twice, his smile froze.
Her implication was that when the Eternal night came, there would be chaos, and the Rong family had quite a few servants and bodyguards. If…
He laughed awkwardly and hurriedly left.
…
In the evening, Qin Chuan came over, carrying over a dozen kilograms of beef and half a sheep.
Money from the rich housewives was easy to earn. Several sets of skincare products were grabbed almost as soon as they were put on sale, and the two packs of cigarettes sold out even faster.
But fresh meat was hard to come by. It took him quite a bit of effort to exchange for it.
He also brought back news. “I heard the Eternal Night might be coming. We need to be prepared.”
Jiang Ning pretended to be surprised. “Who did you hear that from?”
“When I came back, I saw the city installing streetlights. What else could it be if not for the Eternal Night?”
No wonder his business dealings were so successful. Jiang Ning admired his insight. “I also heard the news. It’s high likely to happen in the next few months.”
Thanks to almost two years of continuous polar day, although the climate was still harsh, survivors had been given a chance to catch their breath.
The municipal government had gathered technical talents to establish garbage power plants and large biogas tanks. Some units had already started using them. However, technological civilization and related materials had almost disappeared in successive natural disasters, making it impossible to promote on a large scale.
If there were lights, they would stop the bad things from happening during the Eternal Night.
Qin Chuan couldn’t help but worry. “If the Eternal Night really comes, what should we do?”
Jiang Ning gave a friendly reminder. “Stockpile food, build high walls, sharpen your knives, and try to stay indoors as much as possible.”
These things weren’t difficult for Qin Chuan. Even if he didn’t do business, he had enough supplies to feed himself for eight or ten years. But what about the others like Sharp mouthed monkey?
No, he needed to inform them to prepare in advance.
“Oh, by the way, I have a way to get some live fish and lambs. Do you want them?”
