Chapter 594: Are You Targeting My Daughter?
Later, the land sank, and everyone had to evacuate with the main group. Many familiar faces were scattered in the chaos, and the father and son squeezed onto an evacuation boat in the confusion.
The days of drifting at sea, struggling to survive, felt like torture.
Illness, darkness, bloodshed—these were constantly unfolding, testing human nature to its limit.
Some got sick, some died, and some went mad.
Looking back, they didn’t even know how they made it through.
After who knows how many days and nights, father and son survived and finally reached Huacheng.
When they got off the boat, all the old brothers and families were gone, leaving only two lonely figures.
If it wasn’t for running into Sharp-Mouthed Monkey at the base, Qin Chuan might not have pulled himself out of the darkness so soon.
From having brothers to drink and smoke with, in the end, only the two were left.
Sharp-Mouthed Monkey was observant and secretly tugged at Qin Chuan’s sleeve. “Boss, should we tell him that Doudou is still alive?”
“Monkey, Huacheng is our new home. We need to plant our roots here,” Qin Chuan said with a sigh. “Brother Huo and the others have already left, no one knows where they went or how to find them. Maybe we’ll never meet again in this lifetime.”
He thought about his son, “Xiao Mu’s life is just beginning. He can’t keep thinking about Doudou forever. He needs to start forgetting and live his own life.”
Sharp-Mouthed Monkey was confident, “Sister’s ability is so great, she could live well no matter where she goes.”
Qin Chuan believed in their strength, even Doudou was tough.
But he didn’t want his son to keep dreaming.
“Children don’t listen to their fathers,” Qin Mu kept Doudou in his heart, but Qin Chuan knew that back then, Doudou was too young to think like this. Even if they met again after all these years, they’d still be worlds apart.
Having lived a long life, Qin Chuan knew how hard love between men and women could be, especially in a world ravaged by natural disasters.
Some things without a future should be forgotten as soon as possible, or it would only bring pain.
So, both Qin Chuan and Sharp-Mouthed Monkey kept quiet and acted like Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning had never been to Huacheng.
But fate is a funny thing.
Years later, when they met again, Doudou was already carrying the weight of everything, and Qin Mu had also changed completely.
You can’t hide your feelings when you’re in love.
Jiang Ning, being experienced, could clearly see how Qin Mu felt about Doudou.
It wasn’t love at first sight; it was childhood sweethearts.
In peaceful times, Jiang Ning would wholeheartedly bless them, but now, she hoped it wouldn’t go any further.
One was in Huacheng, the other in Fengcheng, a world apart.
Whether it was selfish or just a mother’s instincts, she wanted both of them to be more rational.
She didn’t want Doudou to go to Huacheng for love, and she definitely didn’t want anyone to use Doudou to control her and Huo Yishen.
She was still young, not yet eighteen, with her best years ahead of her.
Everything could wait until the natural disasters were over.
Jiang Ning didn’t stay long and went to the neighboring farm.
Under Rong Tingting’s guidance, the farm was thoroughly sanitized, and they were working quickly to hatch new livestock.
They needed to raise more poultry as soon as possible to recover the losses.
“Sister Ning.”
The Rong family was also allergic to moth powder, but thanks to Jiang Ning’s special care, they recovered faster than most.
The brutal reality of the apocalypse had made Rong Tingting admire strength, and Jiang Ning, a legend of the base, naturally became her idol.
Especially after the moth infestation incident, she even reached the point of worshiping her.
Rong Tingting made a secret vow to become a woman like Jiang Ning one day— strong, confident, and able to face any challenge.
When Jiang Ning appeared, Rong Tingting, usually so dominant in front of the workers, became a little fan, rushing over in three steps, calling out, “Sister Ning.”
“Well done.”
Jiang Ning also liked her and praised her, “I trust you completely with the farm.”
She toured the farm, and everything was clean and tidy. The poultry had almost fully recovered.
Jiang Ning took out a bag of homemade medicinal tablets. “The environment is unstable right now, and poultry is prone to illness. I’ve prepared some medicine, and the symptoms and dosage are written on it. Just administer it according to the symptoms when needed.”
Rong Tingting felt more confident. “Don’t worry, Sister Ning. As long as the weather settles down, the farm’s scale will grow back quickly.”
Jiang Ning was worried she might be rushing things, “We need to prepare for both situations. The scale needs to expand, but you must reserve fertilized eggs for future breeding. Otherwise, if there’s an outbreak of disease, the whole farm could be wiped out.”
Rong Tingting nodded, looking slightly embarrassed. “Got it, I’ll make sure to save more fertilized eggs.”
Knowing she got along well with Doudou, Jiang Ning had planned to ask if Qin Mu often visited, but she gave up on the idea.
Doudou had grown up, and she would make her own choices.
If she interfered recklessly, it could backfire.
Just as she reached the gate of her house, Gu Tinglin came back with Chief of Staff Si. There were no guards with them—just old friends meeting up.
Gu Tinglin introduced, “Anning, this is your Uncle Si. He’s heading back to Huacheng tomorrow, so I invited him over to catch up.”
Jiang Ning greeted with a smile, “Hello, Uncle Si.”
Chief of Staff Si sighed with envy, “Old Gu, you really have it made with a daughter like her.”
Gu Tinglin smiled proudly, “Yes, I’m lucky.”
Then Chief of Staff Si said something surprising, “Do you remember what you said back then?”
Gu Tinglin was confused. “What do you mean?”
“When my wife was pregnant, we joked that if you ever got married and had children, if the kids were of different genders, they should be betrothed, and if they were the same gender, they should be sisters…”
Later, Chief of Staff Si had a daughter.
Gu Tinglin vaguely remembered something like that but couldn’t recall clearly.
Chief of Staff Si’s daughter, Si Min, was exceptional. Gu Tinglin had met her a few times, and every time she called him “Godfather.”
Later, Si Min was transferred to a northern military base, and they hadn’t seen each other since.
The disasters had been too harsh, and Gu Tinglin didn’t dare to ask about Si Min’s whereabouts. After all, not everyone was as lucky as him.
He invited his old friend inside and decided to cook. “Old Si, are you targeting my daughter?”
Advisor Si almost choked but quickly understood and nodded, “Yeah.”
“I don’t mind if another father shows her affection, but if you try to steal her away, I won’t agree.”
Chief of Staff Si laughed heartily, “You were a workaholic back then, but now you’ve turned into a daughter slave.”
The two shared a deep bond, and with no one else around, Chief Si couldn’t help but gossip, “Old Gu, your marriage used to worry the political commissar so much. He went to great lengths to introduce you to matchmakers, but you always turned them down. Now, suddenly you have a daughter this big. That’s a bit unfair, don’t you think?”
The past seemed far away, and time had healed the wounds.
Gu Tinglin didn’t hide anything and shared his love story from over thirty years ago.
Chief of Staff Si sighed, thinking that fate had played tricks on them, but the heavens had given him the best compensation.
It was unlike his own situation—he’d lost a daughter. If not for his responsibility to rebuild, he might never have been able to move on from that loss.
But every time he recalled those memories, the wounds still felt fresh.
Jiang Ning didn’t trust Gu Tinglin’s cooking skills, so she brought over a prepared duck, cured meat, and vegetables from home.
“Father, Uncle Si, you two just relax. Today, you’ll try my cooking.”
