Looking at Ning Jinyun, who had an expression that said, "I see right through you."
A resentful and gloomy light flashed in Bai Jin's similarly slanted eyes—
"Ning Jinyun, stop slandering me. I wanted the old woman's things because it was for my little sister's own good. She should know how to be grateful. I truly treat her like a daughter!"
Looking at the dark and obsessive fierce light in Bai Jin's eyes, Ning Jinyun was still a little afraid of hurting her older sister's feelings again.
My sister's marriage has been unhappy these past few years, and her husband is making a fuss about getting a divorce, which has made her increasingly neurotic and eccentric.
She really dotes on her younger sister, yet she still beats her so badly that her sister is afraid of her.
Ning Jinyun pursed her lips: "Fine, believe it yourself. In any case, we have to find a way to get our hands on those jade chili peppers."
Bai Jin's expression seemed to soften a little, but her brows furrowed: "Now that the educated youth are returning to the city in droves, let's figure out a way to bring my little sister back first?"
Ning Jinyun sighed, "Do you think I don't know? But she's married and her household registration is in the village, which is not a good thing."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but smack her lips: "Otherwise, we could bring that brat back and marry her off to a widower who's more than ten years older. That would bring in a lot of dowry. My guards are desperate for money to find partners right now."
These days, even if male and female educated youth get married and have children in the countryside, many of them return to the city to find new partners.
If the villagers don't know the address of the educated youth's hometown in the city, there's nothing they can do.
Bai Jin scolded impatiently, "You're obsessed with money. You've always been short-sighted. Even if my little sister doesn't want that bad guy, she can't just marry any piece of trash."
A daughter's good marriage brings endless benefits to the whole family!
Ning Jinyun was displeased and snorted, "I'm obsessed with money. A few days ago, someone came to me asking about my little sister, and I told them everything for ten yuan."
Bai Jin paused, then raised his triangular eyes and asked, "Who's asking about my little sister?"
Ning Jinyun thought for a moment: "I don't know, but there was a patient who came to the health center and kept trying to find out about my sister and her boyfriend from the countryside."
She was quite pleased with herself: "The other party even tried to bribe me to get closer to him, but I didn't think he was a good person, so I didn't admit that my younger sister got married in the countryside."
Bai Jin frowned deeply: "Could it be that they're after my younger sister's boyfriend, who was sent to the countryside? Usually, those who are sent to the countryside are punished because they offended someone. Maybe she's that man's mortal enemy?"
The thought of being kicked by that exiled individual, breaking two of her ribs, and suffering fractures and cracks in other parts of her body, requiring her to stay in the hospital for several months, filled her with hatred!
Ning Jinyun was startled: "What? Will that implicate our family?!"
Bai Jin couldn't come up with a solution right away, so she could only say, "If they're after your younger sister's boyfriend from the countryside, they'll probably contact you again. We can test them then to see what they're up to!"
Ning Jinyun said irritably, "Well, that's the only way! That brat Ning Yuan is such a jinx, what kind of person did she marry!"
If it implicates the family, she won't let that brat get away with it!
Bai Jin, seeing Ning Jinyun still spewing vulgarities, reprimanded her with a gloomy expression—
"Watch your mouth in front of your little sister! She already knows you're not her biological mother. What good will it do her to drive her away by scolding her!"
Ning Jinyun curled her lips and said impatiently, "Fine, I know."
No child is without a longing for maternal love.
She knew Ning Yuan well; as long as she treated that girl well, that brat would open her heart to her.
She raised that girl with such care and reluctance, how could she not benefit from it at all?
Even if Ning Yuan can't find the treasure left by the old woman, she should at least take care of her in her old age and see her off when she dies.
They took care of her bodily functions, wiping away her excrement and urine, to lessen the burden on their own children.
After Bai Jin and Ning Jinyun had decided on the "important matter," Ning Jinyun helped Bai Jin back to the ward.
After they all left, Ning Weibing's face appeared at the corner of the stairs.
He was still in shock—shocked by the gossip he had just learned.
My little sister was picked up by my maternal grandmother; she's not her biological daughter. My grandmother dotes on her and gave her a jade chili pepper.
When my grandmother worked as a maid, she stole many treasures from her employers. The "key" to finding those treasures, or rather, the only clue, was the jade chili pepper.
But the man my younger sister married in the countryside, a former laborer who had been sent to the countryside for reform, might have enemies who came to inquire about her.
Ning Weibing's brain, overwhelmed by alcohol, processed so much information.
He began to struggle with whether or not to sever ties with his younger sister Ning Yuan for fear of being implicated by the demoted personnel.
Should we keep the younger sister here, get the jade chili pepper from her grandmother, and then get the treasures the old lady has secretly hidden?
This is truly a difficult problem in life!
...
A few days later, the county post office
"What? Captain, you're going to give all the money sent from home to your wife?" Chen Chen looked at Rong Zhaonan incredulously.
The captain just asked him if any money had been sent from Beijing, and he immediately gave the captain the 1,000 yuan that had just been wired to him.
He casually asked if the team leader wanted to deposit the 200 yuan from last time into the bank, since he hadn't seen the team leader spend much money, and 1200 yuan was a large sum.
As a result, the captain said that all money transferred from now on should be given to Ning Yuan.
After counting the money, Rong Zhaonan casually put it into his breast pocket and said, "Hmm."
Chen Chen couldn't help but frown: "But Captain, you haven't even figured out your sister-in-law's background yet, so why did you give her all the money?"
"What if she really is an enemy agent or someone sent by the enemy who persecuted the Rong family and caused your exile?"
Although state-owned properties are currently prohibited from being bought and sold and can only be allocated, some people still sell the allocated properties to others privately.
A little over 700 yuan can buy a really nice apartment in Shanghai.
Rong Zhaonan glanced at him indifferently: "So what if she is? Even if she really has a problem, could she run away with my money?"
Chen Chen shook his head instinctively: "Then she can't escape. She'd be shot down if she were on a plane!"
It's not like our own captain hasn't done this before.
Unless they are not being targeted, once they are locked onto by the captain, they never have a chance to escape his grasp; the more they run, the more miserable their death becomes!
Rong Zhaonan casually took a cigarette from Chen Chen's hand and asked indifferently—
"Then what are you worried about? Money can easily win people's hearts and also easily breed them. She has enough funds to do whatever she wants, and it's easier for her to expose any problems. We can deal with her all at once."
"My sister-in-law... she shouldn't be that kind of person, right?" Chen Chen frowned, somewhat uncertainly.
Rong Zhaonan lit a cigarette, holding it between his slender fingers, but didn't smoke it. He leisurely appreciated the flickering flame as the cigarette burned.
The smoke blurred his cool, wicked face as he chuckled lightly, "Isn't that even better? She's mine now, what do the others matter?"
She and her money belong to him. Of course, he is a fair person and will treat her the same way—he is hers too.
Chen Chen looked at his captain and felt that the back of his head was really—creepy!
In the past, when they went on missions, the captain was known for his ruthless and underhanded methods, and he never missed his target.
The enemy would tremble at the mere mention of the code name "Tai Sui".
But... damn it, I didn't expect that although the captain liked his sister-in-law quite a bit, he wouldn't hold back at all when it came to scheming against her.
If the money goes into the hands of the young lady, the team leader is guaranteed to make a profit! The only one who loses is the young lady!
Whether it's the captain's enemy or a woman, they seem to devour everything, leaving not a single bone behind!
If the captain takes a liking to him, he should immediately hide at the ends of the earth... Ugh, pshaw! He's not that unlucky! He's not a woman!!
"Captain..." Chen Chen gained a deeper understanding of his captain's dog, which made him feel uneasy, but he had to ask the question.
Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "Speak."
