Sanqi is quick-witted and has good ideas, but unfortunately, no one is interested.
Sheng Nan focused all her energy on her studies. She wanted to become a doctor like her father, saving lives and healing the wounded. She dreamed of returning home after completing her studies, just like her father, who could both treat the sick and save lives and was not afraid to sacrifice himself to go where he was needed.
Although the idea came from Sanqi, he wasn't really interested in it. At the moment, he didn't feel he needed much money; his family's living conditions were enough to ensure he and his sister had no worries about food or clothing.
Actually, Bonnie is the most relaxed one. Her job is easy, and she could do it if she wanted to.
"A traditional Chinese medicine formula to improve skin? Sheng Nan, you've tested it yourself, so you should keep it safe. You can sell it to a cosmetics company later; it'll be worth a lot of money."
Bonnie also knew that the cosmetics industry in later generations was extremely profitable, especially good Chinese herbal formulas, which were enough to make a company a fortune.
"Oh dear, we were just saying that we should let my sister go out for a stroll, and after she starts using the skincare products that Sister Shengnan makes, the effects will definitely be obvious. Wouldn't that make all the aunties, grandmas, and older sisters rush to buy them!"
Sanqi thinks it will definitely work, after all, there aren't many skincare products available these days.
"The idea is good, but it's too time-consuming. Doing business is not as simple as you might imagine; there are too many things to consider."
Although Bonnie had an extra set of memories, she never considered making a career out of it. Firstly, her own abilities were limited; having extra memories didn't automatically translate into greater capabilities.
Many of the time-traveling characters in novels seem to have superpowers. Ordinary people, once they travel through time, become the heroines of a wish-fulfillment novel, capable of anything, and their IQ seems to increase significantly all of a sudden.
"Yes, people have limited energy; it's good enough if you can do one thing well."
Sheng Nan also felt that she couldn't do it, and that her ambitions lay elsewhere.
That was the end of that story. After using Sheng Nan Tiao's skincare products a few times, Liu Jiu's face really improved a lot. Not only did the peeling areas heal, but her skin also became a bit whiter.
With more people in the family, it gets more lively.
There's plenty of food in the courtyard house, so there's no worry about not having anything to eat. Sometimes we even go to Uncle Bao Ni's restaurant to have a better meal.
Shengnan and Liujiu frequently went in and out of the compound, occasionally running into Commander Yang and his group, but Shengnan never greeted them. She probably couldn't understand the resentment her father felt; she had never met either her grandmother or aunt. To her, it was like a story, not real life. As for Commander Yang and his group, they were complete strangers.
Shengnan's personality is different from her father's; she is more like her mother—decisive, confident, and quite independent.
Cao Wenze wouldn't tell the children these unpleasant things; he would only tell them the truth and let them know what was going on at home. As for anything else, there was no need to impose it on the children; resentment only drains one's energy.
He didn't want his children to live in resentment. To the children, the Yang family were strangers, with no relation whatsoever.
Commander Yang had come to terms with it. Wenze would never forgive him in this lifetime, nor would he allow the children to recognize him. So he would simply not appear before him, to avoid reminding him of those unpleasant things. This was the only thing he could do for him.
The children weren't interested in these melodramatic things; they had their own things to care about.
A few days before school started, Bonnie received a call from Aunt Gu.
"Bonnie, guess who I saw?"
"Who can you see? Judging from your tone, is it someone I know?"
Bonnie and Sister-in-law Gu can get along because they share common interests.
"Think hard, even I didn't expect it. It's such a surprise, I almost didn't recognize her. If I hadn't heard someone call her name and taken a special look, I really wouldn't have thought it was her."
Sister-in-law Gu deliberately kept it a secret, as she had been quite free lately. Gu Ze's work was progressing smoothly, and she no longer needed to help balance relationships or engage in "wife diplomacy" like she had in the early years.
Gu Xuanhao has also found his interest; he likes swimming and is quite good at it. His teacher says he has some talent. Now he spends all his free time practicing swimming. Anyway, he's still young, so let's see if he can stick with it.
"Sister-in-law, who did you see? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense."
When Bonnie saw that her sister-in-law hadn't said a word for a while, she thought that her sister-in-law was deliberately keeping her in suspense. Little did she know that her sister-in-law had just drifted off into thought and was thinking about something else.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you now, don't rush me. I saw Yang Xue, you'd never guess what she's doing right now!"
"Yang Xue? Ah! Commander Yang's youngest daughter. I almost didn't realize you mentioned her so suddenly. I heard she went south, I didn't expect you to run into her."
Bonnie had almost forgotten about Yang Xue, the person involved in the dancing incident. After the wedding fell through, she left, and she hadn't seen her since.
"I didn't expect it either. I ran into her while shopping with a friend. She was slapped in the face in the street. She was wearing makeup, and at first no one came out. I hadn't seen her for a long time."
The woman who came over and started hitting her called out her name, saying that the daughter of a dignified army commander was shameless, becoming someone's mistress for money and disgracing her father. She was going to Beijing to ask how a dignified army commander raised his daughter, whether she was following the example of a corrupt parent...
You wouldn't believe it, the whole mall suddenly went quiet. Everyone was watching the spectacle, thinking how shameful the girl was, wondering what she was doing at such a young age, breaking up someone else's family.
Yang Xue didn't say a word, and was beaten badly. Eventually, the man arrived and took her away, and the onlookers dispersed. The woman who had assaulted her watched her man abandon her and leave with another woman, tears streaming down her face. All her earlier arrogance had vanished, replaced by utter despair.
Sister-in-law Gu sighed deeply. Successful men's favorite thing is for their wives to die. It doesn't matter if their wives aren't dead; they just do whatever they want without any hesitation.
Sister-in-law Gu has seen a lot in the south over the years, especially those men who suddenly become rich. Once they have money in their pockets, they are no longer the same people. They have long forgotten their wives and children at home and live a carefree and happy life.
"Sister-in-law, do you think Commander Yang knows about this? If he does, will he faint?"
Bonnie thought maliciously that the original wife should make a scene in front of Commander Yang and his wife, so that they could experience karma.
"That's hard to say. From what that woman said, she must have had someone investigate thoroughly, otherwise how could she know so much detail? Moreover, after Yang Xue was taken away that day, I saw the despair and madness on the woman's face."
Seeing the woman's resolute expression, Sister-in-law Gu wondered what she might do. She truly hoped the woman could let go of her resentment and stop being so stubborn.
"Sigh, not many people can take things easy when faced with something like this. Bystanders see things clearly, but those involved are often confused."
Bonnie sighed for a moment, then chatted with her sister-in-law about their recent lives. They checked the time and realized that today's gossip was valuable; they talked for about twenty minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Bonnie sat quietly for a long time. People, you know, the more you act recklessly, the sooner you die!
