Chapter 326 The Hands of Fate
"Qiangzi went to your village with Luo Hai. This is what they left for you!"
"Huh?" Luo Ning stared in disbelief.
"Qiangzi acted first and reported later. When I found out he hadn't come back all night and was looking for him everywhere, I found this letter in his room!" Tong Nan was covered in bruises just thinking about it. That little brat is getting more and more unruly.
"Yang Zheng saw your dad off when he left. I don't even know how he managed to sneak into the car without Yang Zheng's sight!"
"Sister-in-law, children who follow the rules will have limited achievements in life. Someone like Qiangzi will have a bright future. Just wait and enjoy the good life!" Luo Ning comforted Tong Nan, who was furious, as she opened the letter.
"Sigh, I'd be grateful if he didn't cause me any trouble, I wouldn't dare expect anything from him. You know, he went all this way to bother everyone, I really feel bad about it!" Tong Nan frowned, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
She never imagined that Qiangzi would become a key figure in the Anning Group, and that he would follow Luo Ning to carve out a niche for himself.
Luo Ning smiled and didn't try to persuade her any further. She understood Tong Nan's feelings. She took out the letter, read it quickly, and smiled slightly.
The letter was mainly written by Luo Hai, expressing his insights and experiences from his field investigation, and also included big data analysis.
Qiangzi found three places he liked, and even drew some ugly sketches with bus routes noted on the side.
At the end of the letter was Qiangzi's summary, in which he lavishly praised the contents of the letter and strongly expressed his determination to go to Qing'an Village to learn from her. He vowed to wait for her to come home, no matter what!
She was surprised and pleased that Qiangzi had this idea.
She had the idea of taking Qiangzi with her, but how far he could go depended entirely on his own fate.
Luo Ning secretly resolved to find some time soon to personally visit the place and finalize the matter.
“Sister-in-law, it’s an honor for us that Qiangzi is willing to be close to my family. I know what you’re worried about, but your worries are unnecessary.”
When I got married, we built a new house, and my dad and Luo Hai's family also had a new house, so Qiangzi had a place to live.
Although rural areas are not yet wealthy, our family is still managing to get by.
My parents are in the village, so Qiangzi won't go hungry!
Qiangzi is easygoing and gets along with everyone; he'll never compromise himself!
Sister-in-law, the children are all grown up and will eventually have to go out and make their own way in the world. You need to slowly learn to let go!
You spend your whole life revolving around your children, don't you get tired?
Qiangzi has already graduated from university; he's not a three-year-old anymore. Don't treat him like a child.
Since he dared to run away, he must be able to take care of himself, and he absolutely must. Anyway, I have high hopes for him.
Tong Nan was speechless; that made sense, but...
Luo Ning understood a mother's psychology all too well. Although she wasn't a mother herself, she could sense the division commander's wife's worry and anxiety every time she went on a mission to say goodbye...
She never imagined that she would meet her teacher's wife again in this life! And what's even more bizarre is that she became Ming's sister!
In his previous life, Ming was completely unknown, and Luo Ning had no memory of him.
However, she learned from Ling Wei, the division commander's wife, that she had an older brother who died suddenly in June of this year.
If I hadn't come, Ming would be dead!
If I hadn't come, Xie Chang'an would probably have divorced Luo Ning. A refined woman like Gao Ya would have been enough to sway Luo Ning, the country bumpkin!
If I hadn't come, Xie Chang'an wouldn't have been injured, and he would have captured Black Butterfly.
Her arrival was influencing the life trajectories of some people, and she inexplicably became a driving force of fate. Luo Ning sighed inwardly.
Being so sentimental isn't her style. Luo Ning shook off her negative emotions and instantly felt refreshed.
"Sister-in-law, I know you can't let go right away, but it's okay, take it slow, it always takes time."
"I just bought a house, and I was thinking of treating everyone to a restaurant to celebrate, but that felt a bit insincere, so I've decided to have a housewarming dinner at my place. I can't manage it all by myself, so I'd like to ask you and Zhang Yue for help. Are you available now?"
People do go to restaurants these days, but very few, especially those who go with a large group – that's definitely showing off wealth.
Although Luo Ning knew that the policies of the era would not change again, flaunting wealth now was still far ahead of the times.
Moreover, this would make people think that Xie Chang'an was living off a woman, which greatly contradicts his original intention.
Inviting someone to dinner is about saving face for Xie Chang'an, so the first priority is to consider Xie Chang'an's feelings, and the second is to make sure it's done in a way that makes people feel comfortable and leaves no room for criticism!
Moreover, at this crucial moment, Xie Chang'an also needs such an opportunity to express his feelings to his superiors and comrades and clarify the facts. Staying at home is far safer and more discreet than staying in a restaurant!
Xie Chang'an's emotions started to get a little agitated again. Xiao Ning always thought of him in every way, preferring to be tired herself rather than make things inconvenient for him, and she also took care of her own pride!
He was deeply moved to have such a considerate and understanding wife.
Tong Nan's mood instantly brightened; she had a chance to prove herself again. She was a typical simple and honest woman who was happy to have work to do.
"Convenient, convenient! Teacher Fu's sister is here, and Qiangzi isn't home either. I'm free right now!"
Luo Ning immediately picked up a pen and paper and made a list of some odds and ends, asking Tong Nan to buy them. As for the rest, she could just take what she had in her spatial storage and make a brief appearance at the morning market.
Tong Nan accepted the order, the 300 yuan Luo Ning gave her, and the fruit Luo Ning forced into the basket, and happily said goodbye.
As she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, pulled Luo Ning aside, and whispered.
"Have you heard? Ma Daqin went missing a while ago. When she came back the day before yesterday, she had gone mad. Her son was starving to death and was also severely beaten by her. He's dying now."
I heard from Yang Zheng that Wang Youcai has been transferred away for a while and has already found a wife outside. He's really talented.
How could such a cheap pineapple-like product fool two wives... What kind of nonsense is this? Anyway, I need to go shopping; I'll have to buy all this in several trips.
"Oh, by the way, the bathtub you made is still with me. It's too heavy for me to move, and Yang Zheng is always nowhere to be seen. Could you find someone to help you carry it? It'll be useful to take it home."
"Okay! Sister-in-law, remember to tell Commander Yang it's the night after tomorrow!" Luo Ning smiled. If Sister-in-law Tong hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten about it.
"Okay, if I don't come back tonight, you'll have to cook for yourself!" Tong Nan rushed out of the ward.
After watching her disappear, Luo Ning took out his keys and tossed them to Qi Wu, who was standing guard at the door. "Go on, bro, move the bathtub to Xie Chang'an's dormitory!"
“No problem!” Qi Wu caught the keys and whispered to Luo Ning, “Ni Yongsheng is missing, and he’s been missing for a while!”
Ni Yongsheng? Luo Ning thought for a while before realizing who that bastard was. He had such a low profile, it was really hard for her.
It's highly likely that Old Man Quan ordered Wang Youcai's actions to be done, but Ni Yongsheng couldn't say for sure.
"After moving the bath tub, I'll drop by the Ming family's place and say I want Ming Wei, then let them name their terms!"
"Alright!" Qi Wu hurried towards the stairwell, his steps as swift as the wind.
Luo Ning watched his retreating figure, and couldn't help but start acting like a broken record, "I'll ask you one last time, are you in or not?"
It inexplicably gives off a vibe of forcing a good person into prostitution; it's utterly ridiculous.
