Ning He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What a bright future! It was all just a pie in the sky that Ye Rong painted for his original self.

But in the end, she happily took the 30,000 yuan and returned home with Qianlin.

It was only after He Shaochuan returned to Dalui Village that he heard from the villagers that Ning He had taken Qian Lin out.

But after waiting for a long time, Ning He still didn't come back.

He Shaochuan couldn't sit still and searched the whole village for Ning He and Qian Lin. The villagers told He Shaochuan that they had left the village.

The sky gradually darkened. Where could Ning He take Qian Lin?

He Shaochuan didn't have time to think and ran towards Shili Village. If Ning He brought Qian Lin back to Shili Village, he would be relieved. If they did not return to Shili Village, he could at least notify Ning Chen and the others and send more people to help find the whereabouts of Ning He and the others.

When He Shaochuan arrived at the Ning family's door, he heard laughter coming from inside.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax for a long time.

Before He Shaochuan even entered the door, many villagers gathered around him.

They all came to watch the fun. No, to be precise, it was Wang Ju who asked them to come and watch the fun.

Wang Ju learned the news that her son Ye Rong had returned early this morning. She wanted to complain to Ye Rong, saying that Ning He had deceived Ye Rong. She told Ye Rong that Ning He had not fallen out with her husband, but had returned to Dalui Village with her husband.

It was because of what Wang Ju said that Ye Rong rushed to Dalui Village as soon as he returned.

After Ning He's explanation, Ye Rong gradually let down his guard and came back to tell Wang Ju that Ning He did not deceive him, but instead took her son back to Shili Village.

When Wang Ju heard this, she knew there would be something good to watch tonight, so she spread rumors in the village and got a group of villagers to gather at the Ning family's door to watch the fun.

The villagers who were watching from a distance could not wait any longer. Someone in the crowd shouted to He Shaochuan, "Old Ning's son-in-law, Ning He came back during the day and might be eating dinner in the house now. Aren't you going in?"

He Shaochuan noticed something was wrong. If Ning He wanted to come back, she would tell him in advance, but she didn't this time. Did she have some hidden secret?

But before He Shaochuan could think about it, the door of the main hall opened and Ning He came out angrily. She pointed at He Shaochuan and yelled at the top of her voice, "He Shaochuan, how dare you come to our house! I'm telling you, I must divorce you. You're dreaming if you want me to live a good life with you!"

He Shaochuan reacted quickly and Ning He started competing with him in acting again.

This time, without Ning He's reminder, He Shaochuan was able to react immediately.

The man's face became gloomy and terrifying after hearing Ning He's shouting and cursing.

"Ning He, since you came back, all you've said is that you want to divorce me. Who do you want to be with?"

"I won't follow anyone! When you get back to the army, you can file a report and get a divorce, and then we can go our separate ways!"

After saying that, Ning He went back into the room and slammed the door with a loud bang.

The three adults and one child in the room were staring at her.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Ning's mother finally felt relieved and asked, "Ningning, what if Shaochuan misunderstands what you said when you scold him like this?"

Ning He smiled: "Mom, you have to believe that there are two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. If He Shaochuan can't tell that I'm acting, it means he doesn't understand me."

Qianlin scratched his head and looked at Ninghe seriously: "Mom, you and I are the ones who sleep in the same bed."

Ning He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ning Chen asked the key question: "How long will you finish this play?"

Ning He smiled mysteriously, then took out the three large bags of cowhide envelopes from the cloth bag.

She pushed the envelope in front of Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked at the thing in front of him. He looked at Ning He in confusion and asked, "What is this?"

Ning He opened one of the cowhide envelopes, revealing a corner of the banknote.

"Brother, here is thirty thousand dollars to build a school."

Not only Ning Chen, but even Ning's father and mother who were standing by were greatly shocked.

"Ningning, where did you get so much money?"

"Ye Rong gave it to me." At this point, Ning He changed his words: "To be precise, he owed it to our Ning family."

Father Ning sighed and advised Ning He: "Ning Ning, don't do anything extreme. Leave them a way to survive."

Ning He shook her head, her tone stubborn and firm: "Mom and Dad, you have helped Wang Ju and her son so much, are they grateful in the end?"

Father Ning was choked and speechless.

Ning He continued, "No, on the contrary, they have become even more aggressive, using our Yu family as a stepping stone and a backing to stay standing. Even this time, when my brother wanted to build a school, Ye Rong focused on the school. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will sooner or later implicate our Shili Village."

Father Ning asked in confusion, "The lesson you are talking about is to get the 30,000 yuan from him?"

"Ye Rong wants to use 30,000 yuan to gain management rights of the school. I will use this 30,000 yuan to make him receive the punishment he deserves."

Ning's father and mother were completely confused when they heard this. What did they mean by using 30,000 yuan to punish him?

Ning He did not explain, but smiled and said to Ning Chen: "Brother, you can take this money. This money is used to purchase school facilities and equipment, books and the like. This money originally belonged to us, but I used 30,000 yuan to settle the debt owed to us by the mother and son."

Ning Chen did not refuse, but accepted the thirty thousand yuan. He looked at Ning He and said to her, "I'll keep this money for you."

Although Ning He didn't know what Ning Chen's other identity was, he didn't know what it was.

But hearing his tone, Ning He was even more certain that Ning Chen was not short of money.

Having not seen Qianlin for a few days, Ning's father and mother missed Qianlin very much and insisted that Qianlin sleep with them at night.

Ning He did not insist any longer and went back to her room.

When Ning He was about to fall asleep in bed, there was a slight sound near the window and his nerves immediately tensed up.

She stared at the window and asked coldly, "Who?"

There was no response from outside, and soon there was a knock on her door.

Ning He felt a little strange. Who would knock on his door in the middle of the night?

Could it be her brother? Do you want to ask her about her follow-up plans?

Ning He took the broom behind the door and hid it behind her. She walked to the door and pulled the bolt.

The door was pushed open by someone from the outside before it was opened. Ning He was about to swing the broom in his hand.

The man stretched out his hand and pulled her in front of him.

With a "bang", the door was closed.

The room fell silent instantly.

All Ning He heard was the sound of the man's heart beating like a drum and his irregular breathing.

"You came back without saying a word, and now you want to take action?"

Ning He smelled the clear and familiar scent of the man, and her tense emotions finally calmed down.

She glared at He Shaochuan in dissatisfaction: "Why did you come here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
