Chapter 150 is empty.
However, life must go on. Even though he was very angry and depressed for two days, Ning Kang quickly cheered up and went to work. He couldn't keep taking leave, or he would lose his job.
Ning Kang only took the money he stole from the family and the money he used to buy Ning Lan a job from Wu Yumei. One reason was that Wu Yumei had indeed worked hard for the family over the years, but the bigger reason was that he knew that even if he forced her, she wouldn't be able to come up with the amount if it was too large. So, he could only leave the money he had spent on Wu Yumei and her two children over the years behind.
He didn't want to make a big fuss. Although it seemed that Wu Yumei would be at fault after the incident was exposed, and everyone would definitely criticize Wu Yumei, Ning Kang, who valued his reputation, was afraid that he would be pointed at and laughed at wherever he went, and that he was a fool who had been raising other people's children for so many years and hadn't even known that he had been cheated on.
It can only be said that there is always a reason why someone is pitiful. For the sake of his own face, Ning Kang had no choice but to give up pursuing the money he had spent supporting Wu Yumei and her two children over the years.
To put it another way, Wu Yumei has also earned a salary over the years, so part of the family's savings belongs to her. Ning Kang felt much better after calculating it this way. There was definitely a loss, but being able to recover about 2,000 yuan was some consolation.
Looking at the money in his hand, and then at Ning Xuan, who was indifferent to him and hadn't offered a single word of comfort even after such a big incident, Ning Kang gritted his teeth, counted out 1,000 yuan, and handed it to Ning Xuan.
“Xiao Xuan, take this money. Since you don’t want to come back, it’s good to have more money to protect yourself. I’ll also keep an eye out for jobs for you in the city. If you ever want to come back, remember to call me or send me a telegram.” Ning Kang said to Ning Xuan cautiously.
There's a saying that late-blooming affection is cheaper than grass. She didn't believe that Ning Kang, who had been almost indifferent to her for so many years, would suddenly have a deep fatherly love for her because of this. Ning Xuan probably guessed what he was thinking.
Ning Kang is not young anymore, and since Wu Yumei has not been able to conceive his child for so many years, it is most likely due to a problem with his health. Ning Kang probably guessed this himself, so Ning Xuan is now Ning Kang's only biological daughter.
Nowadays, people believe in raising children to provide for them in old age and care a lot about having children to take care of them when they get old. So Ning Kang is now planning to use money to make up for Ning Xuan and bring the father and daughter closer together.
Ning Xuan wasn't short of money, but she couldn't be bothered by Ning Kang's sudden act of being a loving father. Anyway, it was something he owed the original owner, so she figured she might as well accept it.
"Alright, I won't object if you still want to marry me. Just be careful not to get scammed again. Also, if you want a son, it's not impossible at your age. Otherwise, go to the hospital and see a doctor. I'll go buy the tickets in a bit and then head back to the countryside." Ning Xuan accepted the money and said to Ning Kang.
But Ning Kang, like a cat whose foot had been stepped on, jumped up immediately. "Why are you saying these things, you're a girl? I... I'll be careful. You're in the countryside, sigh, you shouldn't look for someone there. You should go back to the city. I'll find you a good family to marry into, or maybe find you a son-in-law..."
Ning Xuan quickly interrupted him: "Stop it! Don't do anything reckless. Don't interfere in my affairs. I have my own plans. That's all for now. I'm going to buy the tickets."
To avoid Ning Kang's continued nagging, she impatiently went out. It was true she needed to buy tickets, but there was another matter: she wanted to visit the original owner's biological mother's grave.
She went to the train station and bought a ticket. There happened to be a train at 7 p.m., and although it only had hard seats, she bought it anyway.
Then, based on the original owner's memories, she rushed to the outskirts of the city. The cemetery was on a hillside in the suburbs, not very high. Based on Ning Xuan's limited knowledge of feng shui, the feng shui of this place was not bad.
It's because of the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign these past few years that I haven't been able to sweep the graves for many years. The small mound is not only overgrown with weeds, but also has several unidentified small trees growing on it.
Ning Xuan originally wanted to remove the weeds, but then she thought that if someone passed by and saw that the area had been cleared, they might report it.
So Ning Xuan didn't clean up; she just took out a small table, laid out some food and wine, lit incense, and bowed three times towards the small mound.
Half an hour later, Ning Xuan thought of her guess about the phantom she saw yesterday, and decided to apply the X-ray vision potion to herself.
After mentally preparing herself for a while, she looked into the mound of earth and saw clothes through the coffin, but no bones, so the tomb was empty.
It seems her guess is almost confirmed: her "biological mother" probably didn't really die for some reason, but she didn't come back to look for her husband's child. She just doesn't know if the other woman is still alive after all these years.
Ning Xuan looked away, picked up the things on the ground, and then turned and left.
Although Ningkang is unreliable, I'll still go back and say goodbye before leaving, considering the 1,000 yuan.
As for the question of whether her "biological mother" is still alive, she can only put it aside for now. Perhaps in the future, when her cultivation level is higher or she obtains some useful tools, she will be able to find out whether she is still alive and where she is.
Ning Kang knew that Ning Xuan's train was tonight. "This is too rushed, and... well, since we've already bought the tickets, let's just get to the station on time. There's no time to buy groceries and cook. I'll take you to a state-run restaurant. You haven't had a proper meal in the two days since you came back."
Ning Xuan did not refuse.
From the original owner's memories, she knew that the original owner harbored some resentment towards Ning Kang, but also longed for Ning Kang's attention and affection, which is why she did not take drastic measures against Ning Kang.
At first, she just wanted Wu Yumei and the others to tell her what they had done to the original owner in the past, so that Ning Kang would truly realize what kind of life the original owner had lived. However, she did not expect that Wu Yumei was hiding such a secret, which led to the current situation.
Ning Kang had already paid the price for his inaction, so she wouldn't kick him while he was down.
Since Ning Kang wants to make amends, she will accept it on behalf of the original owner. As for whether the original owner will forgive her, that can be dealt with later.
The father and daughter ate a silent meal at the state-run restaurant. Then Ning Kang packed a box of food and two steamed buns for Ning Xuan. He then took Ning Xuan to the train station, put her on the train, and waited until the train was out of sight before going home.
Ning Xuan pouted. Why didn't you come earlier? When the original owner was going to the countryside, such a big event, you didn't even bother to see him off or check on his preparations.
As the train moved on, Ning Xuan also put Ning Kang's thoughts behind her.
Han Dongling sent me a message saying she had found a suitable place to build a survival base!
