Jiang Qiao shook her head helplessly. "When you encounter someone so stubborn, there's really nothing else I can say. However, for the sake of my uncle and the Wen family bloodline, I can't just ignore it. I'll write a letter to comfort my mother first, and then mail some things to Wen Ziling."
Sigh, I've seen firsthand how harsh that place is. This person is even worse than when he was a child; at least back then he knew what was good and was greedy. Now, his thinking is so bad I almost want to praise him.
Jiang Qiao couldn't say anything. It wasn't that he particularly cared about Wen Ziling, but wasn't that her bloodline a continuation of his maternal grandfather and uncle's lineage? No matter how outrageous she was, she was still their family's child.
Especially now that the Wen family is going through a difficult time, we should lend a helping hand if we can. We don't expect anything in return; we just need to be grateful to her and have a clear conscience.
"Later, buy some things and send them to the mail station. Send them directly from the seaside. Don't rush back. If you send them from here, there will be too many people and they might cause trouble."
If we don't have enough money, we'll just withdraw from our savings account. Don't be afraid to spend money; if we run out, we'll earn more.
"When you're done here, take all the stuff from that house with you—gold bars and stuff. If you're short of money, just exchange it for cash. That stuff's not really useful anyway."
Jiang Qiao stood up with a smile and pinched Ning Hao's cheek, her expression clearly teasing.
“That’s great. My man is so generous. With you as my support, I’m not afraid. Money can be earned back. We don’t do things that add to what’s already good; we do things that help those in need.”
Being teased by his wife, Ning Hao was so eager to pin her down that he didn't even need to wait, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people next door.
He grabbed Jiang Qiao's shoulder, making his little wife face him, and said, "Little girl, you've really grown bold, daring to flirt with your own man. In a moment, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
Jiang Qiao wasn't unaware of the changes in the man's body, and now she was starting to regret it. This man was like a wolf, transforming at night.
He pinched Ning Hao's cheek and reminded him with a smile, "Darling, you'd better go practice meditation now and see if your internal energy has changed. Let me tell you, Master Hou broke through today, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Ning Hao looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise. "You mean there's something wrong with this fish?"
Jiang Qiao smiled brightly, "Whether it's true or not, why don't you try it and you'll know? Hurry up, you wasted a good opportunity. I barely managed to heal the hidden injuries you had back then, but this has helped to consolidate them. I added something extra to that fish soup, try it quickly, I'm going to write a letter."
After Ning Hao sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed) and regulated his breathing, he realized just how amazing this simple fish soup was tonight.
Jiang Qiao didn't bother Ning Hao and quickly wrote letters, not only to Wen Jingwan but also to everyone else. She was afraid she wouldn't have time later; she had been so busy with the wedding that she hadn't had a chance to contact them.
After Ning Hao finished adjusting his breathing, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He was even more curious about what kind of magical power this fish had that could actually improve his internal strength. He really had never heard of such a thing before.
"Jiang Qiao, what's the origin of this fish?"
Jiang Qiao put down her pen, turned to look at Ning Hao, and told her husband about the fish.
"It's good that you understand. This kind of thing is something you can only come across by chance. Whether you can eat it depends on fate. So, I was lucky to get it today. Whether I can eat it next time depends on fate."
Ning Hao exclaimed, "My goodness, I never imagined a fish could have such a remarkable history! If I had known, I would have shown you what it looks like; I might have seen it somewhere before."
Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "I heard that this thing has become extinct. Even if someone catches it, it's only in small quantities. It's best not to talk about it. Just keep it to yourself. If someone with ulterior motives finds out about this thing, it will only cause trouble for no reason."
Ning Hao nodded. "That's true. If we don't tell them, those people won't know either. I guess even if that fish really shows up, probably no one will know its purpose."
It's a pity that Shitou and Mom and Dad aren't here. If they could have a sip too, Dad's health might improve, especially Shitou, who's been training. With this fish soup as a guarantee, he should see results soon.
Jiang Qiao knew what to do with her younger brother. "There's no rush with Shi Tou. He's still young. Let him train slowly. Giving him good things too early isn't a good thing."
Ning Hao was fine, so he quickly packed some of his clothes. He was going out for a while and couldn't go without a change of clothes.
"Alright, I'll take care of it. Have you decided on a place to stay? It would be best to arrange it next to where Grandpa and the others live, so it will be easier to take care of them that way."
"It's already arranged. They'll give us a separate room in the team's courtyard. I'll say that I have no one at home to take care of the elderly, so they'll bring them over and help me cook and do laundry."
Actually, I think Grandma would be more comfortable living in the countryside than here. You know, with Grandpa like this, the neighbors' stares are enough to make the old lady suffer.
Besides, those two, even if they want to sever ties with my grandfather, do you think, given their opportunistic mentality, they'll make the old lady feel comfortable?
"Hmph, it's not that I'm looking down on them, but my aunt and uncle, every single month they rely on the old lady's subsidies for food, money, and ration coupons."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but ask if Ning Boyuan knew about the old man's accident and the situation at home.
"Sigh, my grandma spoke to him on the phone before, but he said he was busy and wouldn't get involved in family matters, leaving the old lady to make her own decisions."
My dad is such a good dad. And my grandma is really something. She gave birth to her own child. Doesn't she know him? When something like this happens, people would run away from him like the plague. Who would want to come near him?
Besides, the old lady and the others hadn't failed to tell him about my upcoming marriage before, so if they didn't come back then, they certainly wouldn't now.
Even if things don't go well, on the surface, I'm still his son. When he meets you, his new daughter-in-law, don't you think he should give you some money as a gift?
Jiang Qiao smiled with her lips pursed. "I really didn't care about the money he offered. Of course, whether he gave it to me or not is not important. I just wanted to see his attitude. Unfortunately, I was still disappointed."
I've never met his current wife. What is she like?
Ning Hao snorted, "Fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp. You can think about it. My grandma said she's just average-looking, a world apart from my mom."
The only thing he's better at than my mom is that his wife's family seems to be quite large, and he's too busy dealing with them to think about this side.
Don't worry, no matter how things change, my wife and I are on the same side.
Jiang Qiao proudly raised her neck and said, "That's right, the two of us are husband and wife. Who are they? I don't even know them. They're just strangers. As for your father, it's good that he never comes back. It saves everyone from feeling uncomfortable when they meet."
