Chapter 17 Our Dilemma



"You should also care about your husband. Mingli is your husband, and you don't care about him at all."

Jiang Ci didn't take it to heart. How old was Zhou Mingli? He was successful in his career now, why did he need her to care?

After Jiang Ci finished her work and returned to her parents' side to be with them, whenever she went out for social events, people would always say things to her that seemed to make sense, which made Jiang Ci frown.

What are words like, "If I were President Jiang, I would slap him across the face and make him understand that he is nothing without President Jiang" or "President Jiang, I have many poor men here, all of them are in good shape and strong, would you like to take a look?"

"We're also running out of oil, salt, and other supplies. These are problems that need to be addressed immediately."

They need to be well-fed; only when they are full can they continue to think about other things.

Jiang Ci, who had never worried about making a living, listened to these everyday matters with unusual ease.
