Chapter 223 Timeline

Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated when she saw that her mother had bought her quite a lot. "Mom, you're spending too much."

Chen's mother held up the clothes and compared them to Jiang Ning, saying, "It's not expensive. Your father and I won't spend much money. I feel at ease spending this money on you children."

After finishing preparing the vegetables in the kitchen, Mr. Shen came out and asked Mrs. Shen if she wanted to make soup. If so, he would go out and buy a chicken.

Chen's mother had just seen fish in the small pond at the entrance of the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Ningning, can we kill the fish in that pond?"

Jiang Ning thought Shen's mother wanted to eat fish, so she nodded.

The fish were all caught by Zhiqi and are edible, but she has recently become more sensitive to the smell of fish and hasn't killed a single fish in the past three months, keeping them like this all this time.

The pond isn't big, but it has plenty of fish.

When Huo Zhiqi saw that his mother wasn't eating fish, he stopped catching fish in the stream.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod, Chen's mother said, "Then I'll make you some fish soup."

As Shen's mother was about to direct Shen's father to catch fish, Jiang Ning quickly said, "No, Mom, I can't eat fish."

Mother Shen immediately stopped what she was doing.

Every pregnant woman experiences pregnancy reactions differently, and her aversions to certain foods also vary.

When Shen's mother was pregnant, she loved to drink fish soup.

This led her to believe that her daughter-in-law could also drink it, but she was being too naive.

If your daughter-in-law doesn't like it, then change it. Mother Shen got up and said, "Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a chicken and make soup for you."

Shen's father said he was going, and Shen's mother told him to stay home and boil water so that she could kill the chicken and scald its feathers when she returned.

Mr. Shen nodded to indicate that he would obey the arrangement.

Seeing that Chen's mother was about to go out to buy chicken, Jiang Ning knew that she couldn't refuse her elders' kindness, so she offered to go with her to buy chicken and take a walk along the way.

Pregnant women need to move around often. She hasn't reached the recommended amount of exercise today, so she'll go out with her mother.

Mother Shen did not refuse and took Jiang Ning out the door.

Looking at Jiang Ning's loving face, Chen's mother felt that both the times and their little family were moving towards a better future.

They are now over fifty years old, with both sons and daughters, and a house full of children and grandchildren, which is the most precious happiness for them.

The two strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative as if taking a leisurely walk. Chen's mother bought a chicken, and then happened to run into someone in the village next to the cooperative who was slaughtering a pig, so she dragged Jiang Ning to buy some pork.

Jiang Ning was carrying a piece of meat; everything else was carried by Shen's mother.

Jiang Ning and Shen's mother were carrying things home to the family compound when they bumped into Jiang Ting, who was coming downstairs, as they passed the building in front of the compound.

Jiang Ting noticed that Jiang Ning's appearance remained unchanged, and she even seemed to have gained a little weight.

Jiang Ting stared intently at her, then noticed Shen's mother standing to the side.

Then he turned to Jiang Ning and asked, "I heard the president of Capital University came to see you? You got into university? How did you manage to get into university?"

Before Jiang Ning could even speak, Chen's mother frowned and said, "My daughter-in-law is so outstanding, how come she couldn't get into university? You're Ning Ning's older sister, aren't you happy for Ning Ning? Why are you questioning her instead?"

Having met her once before, Shen's mother recognized the woman who appeared as her daughter-in-law's sister.

This woman is the daughter-in-law's older sister.

My sister got into university. Instead of congratulating her, why are you questioning her?

Mother Shen's mind is quick to change, and the family members may not necessarily have a good relationship.

Look at the relationship between her husband, Lao Shen, and his younger brother. What does it matter how close the blood ties are?

Not wanting to have any negative impact on Jiang Ning, Chen's mother gently nudged Jiang Ning with her elbow and walked away.

Jiang Ting suddenly grabbed Jiang Ning's arm, "Brother Yu Fei has been away on a mission for a while. When he comes back, my life will get better and better. I will definitely live better than you!"

She couldn't suppress her jealousy whenever she saw Jiang Ning doing well.

Jiang Ning turned her head and glanced at Jiang Ting, meeting Jiang Ting's crazed gaze.

One of them is a reincarnated person, and the other is a transmigrator. They can just live their own lives well, instead of running around in front of her all the time.

Jiang Ting is the destined heroine in the novel; she should just sit back and wait for all good things to happen to her.

Sure enough, being brainless before rebirth doesn't mean you'll have a brain after rebirth.

The female lead's only focus was on seducing the male lead.

According to the current timeline, it is indeed time for Lin Yufei to go on a mission.

As for what the mission was, she didn't know. The book only mentioned that it was a major mission, which he completed successfully, and he was promoted after returning.

In order to highlight the male protagonist's abilities, the brainless author wrote that all the soldiers who were on the mission died in battle, and only Lin Yufei survived.

The military comforted the martyrs who died in the war, and naturally, only Lin Yufei was left to receive the credit, which made his path smooth and allowed him to rise step by step.

Jiang Ning got angrier and angrier as she read the novel. The brainless author used every trick in the book to highlight the male and female leads, even sacrificing lives to pave the way for the male lead. That's why she was so angry that she was still arguing with the brainless author in the middle of the night.

She didn't remember the time very clearly, but Jiang Ting's reminder made Jiang Ning realize that Lin Yufei was doing the task that had propelled him to higher and higher positions.

The soldiers who went on this mission with him must not all die for their country!

It's unclear who else was doing the mission with Lin Yufei.

She couldn't possibly know the military's arrangements; all she could do was sigh.

Jiang Ning pulled her arm away and said calmly, "Whether you're doing well or not has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Ting scrutinized Jiang Ning's face countless times, trying to discern emotions such as envy or jealousy.

But no, nothing.

This only made her angrier.

Jiang Ning noticed that Jiang Ting's gaze was becoming increasingly frantic.

Seeing that Jiang Ting's expression was off and she seemed a little agitated, Chen's mother immediately stepped in front of Jiang Ning.

When people are in a fit of rage, they can do some unbelievable things. She couldn't let this woman hurt her daughter-in-law.

With one hand carrying the chicken, Chen's mother protected Jiang Ning as they walked towards the family compound.

Jiang Ting walked out of the family compound somewhat absentmindedly. From the moment Jiang Ning suggested going to the capital to find Shen Mo, everything she had anticipated seemed to have spiraled out of control.

But apart from getting herself into university and controlling Lin Yufei, she couldn't make any changes.

Back in their own courtyard, Shen's mother and father went to prepare to kill a chicken.

When Shen Mo returned home after training, the chicken was almost cooked, and the whole yard was filled with the rich aroma of chicken soup.

Then we'll have dinner when Zhiqi gets home from get out of class.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Ning strolled around the yard to digest, while Shen Mo tended to the soil with a hoe.

Jiang Ning watched Shen Mo, who was engrossed in digging and weeding, and after thinking for a moment, she walked over and sat down on the swing next to him.

"Shen Mo..."

Shen Mo looked up: "Hmm?"

Jiang Ning had the words on the tip of her tongue, but then swallowed them back.

Military missions are classified. She originally wanted to ask Shen Mo who had been on missions recently, but asking that question would be tantamount to probing military secrets.

That's unacceptable.

Jiang Ning wasn't overflowing with saintly compassion. It was common for soldiers to die while on missions, but even though she knew people would die, she couldn't do anything to change it, which still made her feel a little sad.

This is a vast book world, and the path for each character is already set.

Jiang Ting said that Shen Mo would die, and she thought that she could use her medical skills to keep Shen Mo safe.

But right now, each line seems to be following its own trajectory. Could it be that Shen Mo will really...

No, she couldn't think that far ahead. She wouldn't let anything happen to Shen Mo!
