Chapter Seventy: Hidden Talent
"Just do it if you want to."
He Mingzhou waved his hand and said with great confidence, "I'll cover for you."
Xin Li exclaimed, as if she were meeting He Mingzhou for the first time: "You're going to bail me out? Are you planning to give me start-up capital?"
As far as Xinli knew, He Mingzhou didn't have much savings either. He was a very generous person, and before he got married, he only kept a small amount of money to maintain his daily needs.
He donated most of the money to the elderly living alone and orphans on the island who were struggling to survive.
Although Xin Li didn't intend to take He Mingzhou's money, she was genuinely curious about how much savings He Mingzhou actually had.
How much do you need?
Upon hearing this, Xin Li gasped and looked at He Mingzhou in disbelief: "You really have one?"
With He Mingzhou being so busy every day, where would he find the time to save money?
Or is this man really that frugal, managing to save money on his own through increasing income and reducing expenditure?
"have."
He Mingzhou got up and found an iron box in the cabinet.
“My family sends me money every year.”
“This money was given to me by my family, so I didn’t touch it and kept it all here.”
I stared at the box overflowing with coins, a look of shock crossing my face.
A rough calculation suggests there should be several thousand yuan here.
These days, several thousand yuan is considered a huge sum of money.
Who would have thought that He Mingzhou had secretly saved several thousand yuan?
"Wait, is there really no one left in your house?"
In the original novel, He Mingzhou, an officer from a peasant background, did have a good ending, but his family never appeared.
The original owner looked down on He Mingzhou, feeling that this roughneck was not good enough for her, so naturally she didn't pay much attention to his family.
"Who told you that?"
He Mingzhou looked at Xin Li with a strange expression: "Xu Changshan and the others told you?"
Xinli nodded.
She can't exactly say she read it in a book, can she?
That would be like self-destruction.
In any case, it's safe to pin the blame on Xu Changshan.
"No wonder there were so many changes in the wedding arrangements."
He Mingzhou said with emotion, "Actually, I wasn't born and raised on this island."
"My family is all in the capital."
Xin Li's eyes widened: "You're from the capital?"
"No, not really."
“My mother is from this island. My mother and father fell in love and I was born on this island. My father was urgently recalled and later had an accident and had to step down from his position. The family needed my father to take charge, but my mother really liked this island.”
"She often said that she didn't fit in with that place, so she didn't want to go back."
"So I lived on this island with my mother. Later, my father got old, and my mother felt sorry for him, so she took the initiative to go to the capital to be with him."
“The rest of the He family are all developing their careers in the capital, but I am the only one who chose to settle down here.”
"Xu Changshan doesn't know these things. He probably just thinks I'm a peasant who climbed up to where I am today."
"It's fortunate that he sees me that way, otherwise you wouldn't have married me."
Xinli chuckled softly.
"That's really lucky."
The original owner did not choose He Mingzhou.
She made the choice.
Now, facts have proven that her choice was correct.
"Here's all the money. Do whatever you want."
"If you need any help, I can write a letter to the He family for you. They are very powerful and will definitely be able to help you."
Xinli was deeply moved.
He Mingzhou rose through the ranks to become deputy division commander entirely on his own merits, never asking his family for help.
Now she's willing to ask the He family for help for him. If this isn't love, then what is love?
"Not for now."
“I discussed the seafood export with Sister Lu, and we feel that there are many difficulties at the moment. We’ll wait and see. If we can solve the most fundamental problem, I’ll consider starting my own business. Maybe then I can even help the people on the island get rich.”
A smile appeared on He Mingzhou's face.
"Okay, if you can really do it, it will be a great contribution to the development of our island. I will help you ask the commander for commendation."
Xin Li nodded: "Okay! I'll make you proud of me!"
He Mingzhou put his arm around Xinli's waist: "Xinxin, I am so proud of you right now."
He Mingzhou truly felt the change in Xin Li, from her previous image as a pampered young lady to her current proactive contribution to the island's development.
He Mingzhou was particularly pleasantly surprised by Xinli's performance during the typhoon.
Hearing the people in the army praising Xinli, He Mingzhou also felt proud.
Xin Li hugged He Mingzhou tightly, feeling the man's breathing gradually change rhythm. She chuckled mischievously and increased the distance between herself and He Mingzhou.
"I'm talking to you about something serious. Is that all you have on your mind?"
He Mingzhou was taken aback, and looked at Xin Li with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
With a beautiful woman in his arms, and him being a normal man who has just lost his virginity, how can you blame him?
Especially since he had just finished all those things and finally had a chance to relax, how could he possibly resist?
Trying to calm his breathing, He Mingzhou turned away from Xin Li's gaze: "Then continue."
Seeing the man's forehead veins bulging from holding back his anger, Xin Li felt a pang of sympathy.
"I was just kidding."
She leaned in and hugged He Mingzhou, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Actually... I've thought about it too."
The man, who was already suffering, immediately erupted like a floodgate opening, becoming uncontrollable.
Xin Li was picked up by He Mingzhou and carried towards the shower room: "Go take a shower first."
Xinli rested her chin on the man's shoulder and giggled incessantly.
He Mingzhou felt his heart burning from the laughter, and his steps quickened.
The two of them argued until dawn before finally stopping.
Xin Li's stomach was growling loudly, and she kicked He Mingzhou in the waist: "I'm hungry."
He Mingzhou's desires, which he had just suppressed, reignited.
He grabbed Xinli's ankle and pulled her in front of him with a forceful tug.
Xin Li cursed helplessly, "He Mingzhou, are you some kind of genius?!"
How come he has inexhaustible energy?
"I'm hungry! Can't you hear me? I'm hungry!"
He Mingzhou chuckled softly, his voice deep and magnetic, which gave Xin Li goosebumps all over.
I'll cook for you later, so feed me first.
Xin Li wished she could roar to the heavens!
Soldiers are terrifying! Haven't they gotten full after all this time? Is that even reasonable?
...
After another hour of this, Xin Li didn't want to move a single finger, but He Mingzhou finally finished.
He got up decisively, cleaned himself and Xinli, and then put on his clothes and went to the kitchen.
As Xinli was dozing off, the delicious aroma of noodles wafted into her nostrils, instantly whetting her appetite.
She closed her eyes and opened her mouth: "Ah—"
He Mingzhou smiled indulgently and fed her the noodles.
The two of them ate a bowl of noodles together, their stomachs full, and Xinli couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
He Mingzhou washed the dishes and went out the door with the sun rising overhead.
"I want to send a letter." He Mingzhou handed over the letter in his hand. "To the capital."
