“Pearl, the past is the past, let bygones be bygones! In this life, let’s live a good life as a family and be happy every day, okay?” Zhou Bingchen comforted her.

"Okay." Zhao Zhenzhu nodded.

Even without Zhou Bingchen's persuasion, Zhao Zhenzhu thought the same way.

Master Yiye once said, "The matters of this life are settled in this life."

Zhao Zhenzhu was fortunate enough to be reborn because God couldn't bear to see the misery of her family in their previous life and wanted to set things right.

Zhao Zhenzhu has memories of two lifetimes, so she should do more good deeds and accumulate more merit.

In her past life, before committing suicide, Zhao Zhenzhu poisoned Zhou Fugui's entire family. To avoid revealing her intentions, she didn't even spare two- or three-year-old children.

The children were innocent, and Zhao Zhenzhu's revenge harmed the innocent. The resulting bloodshed requires her to do more good deeds in this life to make amends.

After the couple opened up to each other, their hearts drew closer.

After Zhou Bingchen learned about Zhao Zhenzhu's inner conflict, he never said anything to Zhao Zhenzhu about not having to work again.

Zhou Bingchen would support whatever Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to do, and he would also offer help when Zhao Zhenzhu encountered difficulties.

That's a story for another time.

After learning about Zhou Bingchen's ability to "dream," Zhao Zhenzhu felt that her opportunity had arrived.

The matter of going to war with small countries in a few years, as well as the formation of special forces, can be told to Zhou Jin through Zhou Bingchen's "dreams"!

Whether Zhou Jin believed it or not, Zhao Zhenzhu still had to try.

Zhao Zhenzhu told Zhou Bingchen everything she could think of.

After listening, Zhou Bingchen's expression turned serious.

Small countries have fought wars with the great United States.

The United States boasts soldiers with the best equipment and physical fitness in the world, and even then, they didn't fare well against smaller countries for several years.

In recent years, small countries have been making a lot of small moves.

Zhou Bingchen had privately discussed with Zheng Shengli what the best strategy should be in case of fighting against a small country.

However, after much discussion, they still couldn't come up with a solution.

Zhao Zhenzhu's suggestion to "establish a special forces unit" suddenly enlightened Zhou Bingchen.

Zhou Bingchen couldn't help but kiss Zhao Zhenzhu on the cheek and said, "Zhenzhu, thank you for your trust. I'll go see Grandpa first thing tomorrow morning. Grandpa is very experienced, he'll definitely be able to make better arrangements."

The next morning, Zhou Jin and Zhou Bingchen talked for a long time in the study.

After coming out, Zhou Jin had a big smile on her face and went to work.

Zhou Jin was very satisfied with Zhou Bingchen.

Not long ago, these old guys were discussing whether they should learn from some advanced countries and train a highly effective special forces unit.

Ultimately, the proposal was shelved because the cost was too high.

Now, Bingchen's idea of ​​using small countries as hypothetical enemies is extremely important.

Zhou Jin felt that such a force should be built, no matter how much it cost.

An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.

When the time truly comes, that's when a great power will draw its sword.

After Zhou Jin left, Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu also went out.

Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun originally wanted to go, but they were persuaded by Zhao Zhenzhu.

It was cold, and Zhao Zhenzhu really didn't want to take the children out at this time.

Zhou Bingchen was puzzled when he saw that Zhao Zhenzhu was not going to the scenic spots, but instead kept pulling him into the alley.

"Pearl, what are you looking for?" Zhou Bingchen asked after wandering around for about an hour.

Zhao Zhenzhu said that couples need to communicate actively and ask questions instead of keeping them to themselves.

Zhou Bingchen is trying to adapt.

“I’d like to see if there are any houses for sale. If the price is right, I’d like to buy a few courtyard houses,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.

Back then, there were no real estate agents; buying and selling houses relied on word of mouth.

"How many courtyard houses? Pearl, didn't Grandpa give us a courtyard house yesterday? Are you going to buy another one? There are only a few of us in our family, can we all live there?" Zhou Bingchen asked.

“Houses aren’t just for living in, they can also be an investment! Bingchen, my hair accessory factory is making quite a bit of money right now. I don’t want to keep my money in the bank; I want to buy some houses and hold onto them while prices are still low,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.

“Alright! You decide what’s in our family.” Zhou Bingchen nodded and said.

Zhou Bingchen was self-aware.

With his meager salary, he couldn't afford a courtyard house even after working for another ten years.

With the money you earn from pearls, you can buy whatever you want!

Even if he loses money, he still has his salary to live on, right?

“Bingchen, this money won’t be a loss. When Jiakai gets married, maybe our son and daughter-in-law won’t want to live with us? We’ll need a place for them to stay then,” Zhao Zhenzhu explained.

At that time, few people would have believed that buying a house would be the best investment for the Chinese people in the coming decades.

If it weren't for her own experience in her previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu wouldn't have believed that housing prices in China could rise steadily for decades.

"They dare? If Jia Kai is unfilial, I'll break his legs," Zhou Bingchen said angrily.

"Why are you so difficult to communicate with? What I mean is, maybe I don't want to live with my son and daughter-in-law either? Haven't you heard the saying 'familiarity breeds contempt'?" Zhao Zhenzhu said unhappily.

She was just giving an example to illustrate the importance of buying several houses; she wasn't actually saying that Jia Kai would disobey his mother for his wife's sake.

Zhou Bingchen really knows how to hit her where it hurts.

"Pearl, do whatever you think is best." Zhou Bingchen immediately changed his attitude.

"And Yunyun, when she gets married, we definitely have to give her a dowry. We parents can't be biased. What Jiakai has, Yunyun should have too," Zhao Zhenzhu said.

“So, it seems our family needs to buy at least two more houses.” Zhou Bingchen nodded, agreeing with Zhao Zhenzhu’s statement.

Pearl is right. Parents shouldn't be biased. If a son has something, a daughter should also have it.

“And my parents, and my younger brother. If they agree, I’d like to bring them to live in Beijing,” Zhao Zhenzhu continued.

"Pearl, do you have enough money to buy so many houses at once?" Zhou Bingchen asked.

"It's not enough right now, but I can earn more! A house can't be bought in a day. Once I have a goal, I'll be motivated to make money!" Zhao Zhenzhu said confidently.

Zhao Zhenzhu did not tell Zhou Bingchen about the space.

Her space is still filled with supplies!

Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't lack money, she lacks housing.

Zhao Zhenzhu was not just looking at houses when she was wandering around the alley; she was eavesdropping on the old ladies chatting in the alley.

Then, let's analyze from these casual conversations what's currently in high demand in the market.

At that time, the economy had just been liberalized.

Those who are timid dare not make a move.

Those with more courage have already started setting up stalls on the street.

The most common vendors were those selling food, followed by those selling daily necessities.

Zhao Zhenzhu planned to take a walk around to familiarize herself with the terrain before finding an opportunity to go out on her own and find a way to ship the goods.
