Chapter 633: Making Money Is a Must
Chapter 633: Making Money Is a Must
Rong Sanshao’s words left Rong Tingting a bit speechless.
It was true—Sister Yin was young, beautiful, from a good family, and had great abilities. She had countless men interested in her.
If she ever decided to get married, outstanding men would flock to her.
But Rong Tingting’s emotions were a little complicated. “Do you think you’ll like Sister Yin?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Seeing her confusion, Rong Sanshao was as clear-headed as ever. “She’s good-looking, from a decent family, and she’s an only child. Plus, I’ll have Commander Yu as my father-in-law. Isn’t that the perfect choice?”
“But Sister Yin was in a concentration camp and was abused. Can she even have children?”
“If she can, that’s great. If not…” Rong Sanshao looked at his niece. “Aren’t you still around? You carry the Rong family blood too, so when you have children, they can take the Rong surname.”
Noticing she was talking a lot today, Uncle Rong gave her some advice. “Tingting, don’t forget your responsibilities. Some things are better left unclear, but for others, you need to be absolutely clear.”
Rong Tingting nodded. “I understand, Uncle.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was troubled by the drama involving the second-generation slipper couple. When Doudou returned, she couldn’t help but ask.
Doudou thought for a moment. “A hero saving the damsel.”
It seemed like Sister Yin had been quietly followed by a man after work, just as Uncle Rong arrived to pick up Tingting.
Jiang Ning nearly choked. It was such an old trick!
Xiao Yin seemed smart enough—how did she fall for it?
The key was that Rong Sanshao had been through countless romantic encounters and knew all sorts of tricks to woo women, yet this was so… simple.
It lacked any real finesse.
Anyone could see through it easily.
Doudou wasn’t sure about the specifics. The hero saving the damsel was just the first step, but there would definitely be more tricks later.
But she knew that with more men than women, especially women of marriageable and childbearing age, men’s eyes would light up wherever they went.
She’d even heard of something crazier—several men discussing marrying the same woman, only to be severely reprimanded by the police.
This kind of thing also reflected how life was getting better for humans. Aside from basic survival, new needs were constantly emerging.
When she asked, Jiang Ning found out that Yu Yin had started working in the military. Although her job was just clerical, her performance was impressive.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but think. A woman who was weak and sickly, yet managed to survive the apocalypse for over a decade, had to have something special about her.
She could never just be an innocent little bunny.
Jiang Ning had a feeling that maybe they both got what they wanted.
This “love” seemed perfect, and no one was getting hurt.
Based on her understanding of Rong Sanshao, Jiang Ning was actually happy for them.
Of course, that wasn’t the point. What she really wanted to think about was Qin Chuan’s business plan.
Since they were family, Jiang Ning got straight to the point and told the siblings about it. Then she asked, “Doudou, what do you think?”
Doudou carefully considered. “Sister-in-law, we haven’t seen Uncle Qin in years, and he just arrived in Fengcheng with no foundation. Even if he’s interested in a partnership, there’s no need to rush. We can wait a year or two to see how far Uncle Qin can go starting from scratch before making a decision.”
Her words gave Jiang Ning some relief.
As an old acquaintance, Doudou offered help where she could, but she was very careful with the boundaries, not giving any special favors just because of her connection to Qin Mu.
Her sense of balance was perfect.
Jiang Ning had ambition in business. As someone who had once been scolded by a rich, spoiled boss while working as a temporary worker, she never wanted to go back to a life where she had to earn money without any dignity.
Making money was a must.
But choosing partners carefully was even more important.
The advantage was with her, so there was no need to hurry.
That night, the couple lay in bed talking softly.
Huo Yi felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing Doudou grow up so well. “Anning, thank you.”
In comparison to his increasingly outstanding sister, he couldn’t help but think about her fate in her past life.
Life can start over, but fate is different.
However, if she hadn’t met Jiang Ning, and had to survive with Doudou on her own, she definitely wouldn’t have become the exceptional person she is today.
It’s not just Huo Yishen; Jiang Ning feels the same way.
If she hadn’t met him, she wouldn’t have been able to truly reconcile with her past self.
Jiang Ning hugged him, “Huo Yishen, meeting you is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Huo Yishen’s heart felt so full it was about to burst. “Anning, you’re my good luck.”
Both of them were very happy with their current situation, even if the future was uncertain, they had promised to stick together no matter what.
This time, Jiang Ning was really busy. She didn’t even have time to hang out with Rong Sanshao.
The red brick house for the special salvage team was finished, and the housewarming party was rotating between families, each lasting 12 days, not to mention she had to prepare 12 gifts.
Aside from Jiang Ning, there were only two female members in the team, and the rest of the guys had no idea what to prepare for their new homes. They came running to her for advice.
Of all the people they could’ve asked, they just had to ask her.
After visiting the house, they were nearly ready to throw in the towel.
Desk lamps, refrigerators, range hoods, induction cookers, air conditioners.
So what if they had earned a ton of points? They still couldn’t buy the appliances they actually wanted.
Seeing that their daily necessities were seriously lacking, Jiang Ning didn’t want to waste any more time shopping, so she decided to just send them each a full set as a gift.
Bowls, chopsticks, plates, military lunch boxes, water bottles, coffee machines, coffee cups…
These were all from the Arctic, and since her family wasn’t going to use them anyway, why not share the joy?
Xiao Mei, who was pregnant, didn’t have to go on missions and came over for meals, making sure to nourish the baby in her belly.
Jiang Ning didn’t even know what to say anymore. First, it was taking care of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids, and now she had to take care of a great-grandson too?
Sigh, she really didn’t know what kind of karma she’d built up.
Soon she’d be a great-grandmother, and apart from being soft-hearted, she didn’t have any other faults.
Jiang Ning secretly fed Xiao Mei some hot food, “Eat up, don’t let your father see.”
After the casual housewarming feast, Jiang Ning took out some dried herbs from her space and sent them to Zheng Weili and Ding Qi.
After making sure they were well-fed, both women were full of hope as they started preparing for pregnancy, actively working on their health.
Not just them, even Zhang Chao and Lu Yu went for health check-ups.
Compared to their reunion, they had even more hope for the future now.
“If we can have a baby, we will. If not, we won’t force it. When we’re old, we’ll take care of each other.”
After so many years of natural disasters, they had come to terms with a lot of things, and their mindset had become much calmer.
After work, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu warmly welcomed Jiang Ning.
The meals at their house had definitely improved compared to when they first came.
With two women of childbearing age in the house, they could buy poultry at a discount, and they didn’t even need to sign up in advance.
If they had kids, both work and life would be specially taken care of by the government.
In short, having children was considered an honor.
Jiang Ning could only laugh. But this was the reality.
They killed a live chicken, stir-fried green peppers on one side, stir-fried black fungus on the other, and made scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Even though Jiang Ning didn’t need anything, this was their way of showing hospitality.
They ate while chatting. Lu Yu had a lot to say, “Anning, thank goodness you guys brought back the communication equipment, I finally have a chance to use my skills.”
Don’t let his soft lifestyle fool you; he was actually quite good at software programming.
Lu Yu had a natural talent for this, and even though he’d wasted over ten years, he picked it up again quickly.
As the head of the communications department, he was now full of energy. Unless his wife needed him for something, he was either reading technical books or lost in the world of coding.
Zheng Weili couldn’t help but complain, “Anning, you know how ridiculous he’s become, right? He even dreams about code now…”
