Chapter 45 Emptying Out the Enemy's House and Marrying the Bully 1
When Ning Yan returned home, her parents were drinking tea in the living room. She hurriedly said, "Dad, I have something to tell you. Please come to the study with me. Mom, please keep an eye on things."
Seeing that his daughter was sweating profusely with anxiety, Ning Wuyan quickly got up and the two of them hurried to the study.
Ning's mother knew that her daughter must have something important to say, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry. There were still two maids in the house, so she simply sent them all away.
"Dad, do you still remember my classmate Chu Jingze?"
"Chu Jingze? The one whose dad works in the government?"
Ning Yan nodded: "Yes, it was him. I ran into him while shopping today. He called me aside and told me that he went to deliver food to his father yesterday. He said that someone reported our family, but because our family had performed meritorious service in the past, they are still hesitant."
Ning Wuyan was startled at first, but then regained his composure: "Go and sign up to go to the countryside."
He quickly stood up, turned a mechanism in the study, and the bookshelf moved aside to reveal a secret room inside. "Come in."
Ning Yan followed her inside and also saw what was in the secret room.
“After our cotton mill was handed over, we received 20% of the profits every year. All the money we’ve earned over the past 20 years is in these boxes. It’s a pity you can’t take any of these things with you, but you can take more of these tickets, and find a place to hide the things in this little box.”
Yes, the secret room was full of boxes. In addition to a box containing various tickets and money, there was a smaller, carved box containing valuable jewelry, and the rest were small yellow croakers.
Ning Wuyan had made two preparations beforehand, storing the family's ancestral belongings in three places, including some grain he had bought and stored in one of them.
But given the current situation, if their family were to be sent to a farm, those things would be even more untouchable.
All he hopes for now is that his daughter can live a safe and peaceful life.
Ning Yan pulled out the jade pendant from her neck. "Dad, do you still remember this jade pendant that Grandma passed down to me?"
Ning Wuyan: "Of course I remember. This is your grandmother's family heirloom. They say you can lose anything, but you can't lose this jade pendant."
Ning Yan said, "I had a dream a couple of days ago, and when I woke up, I found that this jade pendant was a space."
Ning Wuyan: ...What is space?
Ning Yan had no choice but to demonstrate it to her father. With a wave of her hand, everything in the secret room vanished before their very eyes.
Ning Wuyan: ...
He silently chanted to himself, "No more spirits allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no more spirits allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no more spirits allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China... What a load of rubbish!"
So many of his good things just vanished into thin air, what else could it be but a ghost?
"Dad, don't be afraid. The jade pendant isn't a spirit, and neither is your daughter. This jade pendant is just a space that can hold things. People with the right affinity can open it, but for those without affinity, it's just a jade pendant."
Look, all these things are still here!
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the boxes reappeared.
Ning Wuyan had been in business for many years and had long since developed a calm and composed demeanor, but today he lost his composure.
What else is in your jade pendant?
Ning Yan rummaged through the items and pulled out a ring that looked neither like gold nor jade. "Here's another space ring that's similar to a jade pendant. It's only five square meters inside. Dad, you can use it by dripping your blood on it."
Ning's father was decisive; he turned around, left the secret room, picked up a paper cutter from the desk, and slashed his own hand.
Ning Yan quickly handed over the ring, and the blood was indeed absorbed.
Ning's father tentatively accepted the two boxes of gold, and sure enough, the boxes disappeared. At the same time, he saw that the two boxes of gold had entered the ring, and there was still some space inside the ring.
He took a deep breath and took out the two boxes of gold. "Yanyan, you should put all of these things away quickly. If your father and mother are sent to the countryside, they won't have a chance to use the gold bars. It's better to put more food in them. I don't know how long the food can be stored in the ring."
Ning Yan said, "It should stay fresh no matter what it is inside."
"That's perfect. I'll have your mom make some food for me to take care of later. You should pack these things up quickly. Also, there are three places we need to visit tonight."
With the jade pendant space being such a wonderful thing, those things would naturally be given to my daughter to take with her.
The father and daughter emerged from the secret room half an hour later.
Ning's father whispered a few words to his wife, and the two maids were dismissed, with an additional month's salary as compensation.
Next, the couple went into the kitchen and cooked all the rice and flour into food. Once it was done cooking, it was all put into Ning's father's ring.
Ning Yan dressed up, first signed up to go to the countryside, and then published a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with her family.
Afterwards, I went to a general store and sorted out all the tickets. I exchanged all the local tickets for supplies and bought a lot of pots and pans specifically for storing food.
After buying your things, find a secluded spot to put them away.
She went to a state-run restaurant and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, packed them in a lunchbox, and then did the same thing again. When she got home, all she had left were some daily necessities.
Upon seeing their daughter return, Ning's parents quickly served the food and invited Ning Yan to eat.
Ning Yan handed over all the cured pork, sausages, pork belly and ribs she bought to her father, asking him to cook them and store them away while he had time that evening. She also distributed some daily necessities to her parents.
“I have already published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with you two. I have also decided on the place to go to the countryside, in Heilongjiang Province. Here is the address, Dad, please keep it safe.”
I'll mail things to you and Mom then. Once you're down there, you can eat whatever you want without worry. As long as you eat well, your health won't suffer. Hang in there for a few years until this storm passes, and our family can be reunited again."
In their previous life, Ning's parents were sent to a farm in Heilongjiang Province. The couple had a leisurely life for half their lives and couldn't stand the hard labor on the farm. They also lost contact with their daughter and died of illness a few years later.
In this life, she will absolutely not allow this couple to repeat the mistakes of the previous life!
So she specially sent gifts to the people in the rural affairs office, choosing the brigade closest to their destination, but she couldn't say this because she couldn't explain it.
Anyway, her dad has a spatial ring, even if it's a bit small, it can still hold several hundred kilograms of food. Plus, she can sneak over and deliver things from time to time, so her parents will definitely not have to struggle to make ends meet.
Ning's mother looked at her daughter with a gentle smile, "My child has grown up."
Although she was terrified of being sent to the countryside, seeing how sensible her child was, her heart calmed down. Whatever happens, as long as she could live, there was hope!
As long as there is food, one can survive.
Ning's father nodded in agreement, "It's definitely better than before."
