Chapter 224 The Child Has Grown Up

As the children grew older, they reached kindergarten age, a time when they were the most annoying to children. Jinran was getting fed up with them.

A five-year-old child asks a hundred thousand questions every day.

Just like why flowers have colors, how they bloom, why birds chirp, why one plus one equals two, and why Mom can sleep in every day...

Finally, Jinran would always say, "Remember these questions, and ask your dad when the time comes. He knows everything. If Mom has any questions, she should also ask Dad."

So in the minds of the twins, their father is the most powerful person in the world, and even their mother has to consult with him.

Jinran showed no remorse for shifting the blame. Didn't we agree to share the good times and bear the bad times together?

That's how it is.

The country has changed a lot in recent years. Now there are more and more businesses and stalls on the streets, making it incredibly lively.

Shen's father and Wang Cuifen's braised meat shop has opened several branches, and all ten strong men have gotten married and are living happily, but they have not gone out to make a living and are still working with Wang Cuifen.

When opening the branch, Jinran advised Wang Cuifen to give them shares and let them be store managers. This way, they would earn more and be more attentive to their own business. They could also bring their grandmother and the others over sooner.

Wang Cuifen was persuaded by Jinran's words. Later, more and more branches were opened, and eventually they could be said to have spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing.

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen now travel back and forth between their hometown and Beijing. The old man is in excellent health and sometimes he even takes Grandma Shen on road trips.

The brothers Shen Cong and Shen Ming became quite famous for their large-scale investments in factories and attracting investment in that unfortunate land.

That small county town is now very prosperous; it is no longer a poor and backward county.

Datun Village is a well-known wealthy village. Shen Cong and his family funded the construction of roads, schools, and hospitals, so that children in nearby villages could attend school and patients no longer had to travel long distances to the county or city for medical treatment; they could have their ailments treated right at their doorstep.

They even built factories in the village—tofu factories, dried fruit factories, canning factories, and factories for chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs.

The villagers who made money all gave the Shen family a thumbs up when they talked about them.

Later, the city awarded Shen Cong and Shen Ming with banners recognizing their outstanding contributions and efforts.

Every time the two brothers called Jinran, they would say that it was all Jinran's doing, but they ended up getting the reward.

Jinran, however, felt that the current leisurely life was wonderful. Her brothers were doing important things for the country and the people, while she would just be a freeloader.

There was no news from his uncle's family, as if they had vanished into thin air. Later, Shen Cong and his brother found out that they were doing alright, but it was just an ordinary life. Shen Qing married a capable wife, but she was a good person, which could be considered a decent ending.

Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen were relieved. As long as they hadn't gone astray and were living well, it didn't matter if they never saw each other again.

Over the years, Jinran continued to buy houses and shops. Seeing how much Jinran liked them, Gu Siyan found someone to approve the land and started developing real estate. He always reserved one building for Jinran.

Originally, I was just doing it for fun, but I never expected to make a fortune.

Jinran: ".............." Gu Siyan, do you think he's God's favorite son?

Jinran continued to follow Professor Gu as her assistant, waiting for Professor Gu to retire and for Jinran to become unemployed. Just when she was secretly laughing, thinking she could finally laze around at home, Professor Gu arranged for her to become a university teacher.

However, his qualifications were still lacking, and Professor Gu pressured him to study for the postgraduate entrance exam.

Jinran was on the verge of tears. All she wanted to do was laze around. Her family was so rich that she didn't need to work hard at all.

But Professor Gu wouldn't listen. He just said to Jinran earnestly, "You have everything you need, but you must maintain your curiosity and spirit of exploration about this world. Otherwise, you'll be a useless person."

Jinran nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, she wants to be a useless person."

No one heard her voice. Gu Siyan understood, but there was nothing he could do. He would even chuckle to himself.

She needs to get a divorce, otherwise she'll have to strive for success.
