Chapter 7 Noisy
It is true that she asked the teacher to replace the seal, and she was not afraid that Xu Zixin would come back to question and verify it.
The main reason is that there are only four days left until his coming-of-age birthday. Even if he has doubts, he will hold back in order to avoid any unforeseen complications.
And this was exactly what she wanted.
After a heartwarming scene of father-daughter affection, a physically and mentally exhausted Su Ning returned to her room and buried her face in the soft silk quilt.
As for the work, the issues with the old house have all been resolved. Now all that's left is planning the space, and four days should be enough for the basic construction.
The Chinese nation on Earth had just suffered a natural disaster, and it was a time of scarcity, with everything from clothing and food to medical care being in short supply.
There are still two years until that great upheaval. By then, gold and silver will be useless, and even with money and tickets, you won't be able to buy urgently needed goods. Now that we have such a magical space, we should make full use of it now.
I don't need it to get rich, but at least I can ensure that I and the people I care about most can live comfortably.
There are two hills; the higher one can be used to grow fruit, while the lower one is used to raise livestock.
The stream can be used to raise aquatic products. The black soil, divided into three sections by the stream, can be divided into two larger sections for growing staple foods such as rice, wheat, sorghum, and corn, and a smaller section for growing various vegetables and melons.
If the space can be built exactly as envisioned, it will truly live up to its name and become a paradise that belongs only to her!
As she thought about it, a smile unconsciously spread across her face, and Su Ning drifted off to sleep, filled with sweet anticipation for the infinitely wonderful space.
……
The sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and the sun, its face flushed, slowly broke free from the embrace of the dark clouds.
After a good night's sleep, Su Ning stretched and yawned as she got up.
She chose a small floral print shirt, paired with a solid-colored skirt that reached her ankles, and braided her long hair into two pigtails.
Her wispy bangs were held back with a crystal clip, revealing her full forehead, which made her eyes, which seemed to be filled with starlight, shine even brighter.
He took out a slightly larger leather shoulder bag from the wardrobe on the left, then picked up the canvas bag he had used yesterday and walked to the bedside.
"Wow~"
He emptied the contents of his canvas bag, and the colorful banknotes and bills were scattered all over half of the bed.
She put her graduation certificate into her spatial storage last night, since the room in the courtyard there was the safest place.
Su Ning straightened her skirt and sat down, then began to rummage through the banknotes she hadn't had time to examine closely yesterday.
She had a little over 600 yuan in change, and after deducting the things she bought for her grandfather, she had 620 yuan left.
The metal box in Xu Zixin's room contained the family's daily expenses for the next few months. The money was not much, only 232.8 yuan, but there were quite a lot of various tickets and coupons.
One of them was the deputy director of a steel plant, and the other was the chief physician of the Second Hospital; their salaries and benefits were naturally quite good.
In addition to daily necessities such as grain and oil coupons, sugar coupons, and industrial coupons, there were also coupons for big-ticket items such as bicycles, sewing machines, and watches that were hard to come by.
After carefully sorting the money and bills into their purse, Su Ning got up and opened the door, only to be met with a deafening roar—
"Xu Shanshan!"
What could possibly make Qian Huiru, who is usually gentle and virtuous, suddenly erupt in such a fit of rage so early in the morning?
Tsk tsk ~ they must have discovered the missing banknotes and bills in the metal box.
Entering the living room with an air of composure, Su Ning seemed oblivious to Qian Huiru's blazing eyes, Xu Zixin's gloomy expression, and Xu Shanshan's incredulous, wide-eyed rage. She greeted them as politely as ever.
"Good morning, Daddy, Aunt Qian, and Shanshan!"
"I wasn't the only one there yesterday. Su Ning left even later than me. Why are you only suspecting me?!"
As expected, he immediately drew attention as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xu Shanshan was so angry that she was panting heavily, and the tip of her finger pointing at her was trembling. "Why don't you ask if it's her!"
"Shanshan." A soft, gentle sentence made Xu Shanshan, who was still angry, tremble involuntarily, as if she had just realized that she had touched a switch in her memory, and she suddenly withdrew the finger that was pointing at her.
With a smile on her face but no warmth in her eyes, Su Ning looked at her meaningfully until she hid her entire hand behind her back before shifting her gaze.
People who grow up being pampered and spoiled may not necessarily have the arrogant and domineering temperament of a spoiled young lady, but they certainly don't always appear as harmless and obedient as they do in front of family, elders, and outsiders.
Aside from her closest relative, her maternal grandfather, only Xu Shanshan, who had suffered greatly as a result, had glimpsed a clue about her true temperament.
There was no way around it; she was always loved by the elders and even more so by her peers and younger generations. Even if there were a few who didn't like her, they wouldn't feel any aversion towards her.
With the exception of Xu Shanshan, who repeatedly tried to be clever and made small moves, I could no longer tolerate her and taught her a lesson in just one time.
"I...I didn't say anything wrong!"
Just thinking about it made her fingers ache. Xu Shanshan pinched her fingertips hard, but her voice dropped several octaves as her head drooped.
Why, why didn't we really kill her that day?!
Deep malice and vicious thoughts repeatedly surfaced in Xu Shanshan's increasingly bloodshot eyes.
"Shanshan, you have disappointed us greatly."
Xu Zixin looked at his nominal stepdaughter, who was still arguing with her head down, and his tone was full of disappointment. At the same time, he sighed silently in his heart: selfish and self-righteous.
This daughter is hopeless. It's true, children who don't grow up by their parents' side are no good.
"Hurry up, I'm telling you one last time, take out all the money you haven't spent yet!"
Trying her best to control the urge to beat her up, Qian Huiru kept reminding herself: This is her own child, her own child!
Even if they're greedy, stupid, and unreasonable, they're still your own flesh and blood!
They can't even think before making an excuse. Do you think Suning would care about that little bit of money? Even if they did, would they need to steal it?
It's not that she's belittling her own daughter, but in terms of character and morality, Suning is miles ahead!
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Yesterday, there were only a few of us in the family. If it wasn't her, with her 'criminal record' and habitual 'petty theft', then who else could it be?
"I said I didn't, and I didn't! Even if you force me to die, I still won't!"
She yelled even louder than her, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly frustrated. She grabbed her schoolbag from the back of the chair and rushed out the door.
"That brat, she was born to be my nemesis!"
Patting her chest, which was about to explode with anger, Qian Huiru's well-maintained face turned pale and bluish, a rare and ferocious expression.
"Dad, Aunt Qian?"
With just the right amount of confusion in her eyes, Su Ning looked the two of them up and down before speaking again, "What happened? Shanshan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Ningning, you don't need to worry about it."
Qian Huiru's smile was somewhat forced, and she waved her hand in acknowledgment.
Xu Zixin, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, glancing at his watch: Well, it seems we won't need breakfast.
"Is Ningning going out again today?"
"Yes, Dad. After we fill out our college applications in a few days, we'll all be going our separate ways. We want to take advantage of these two days of holiday to have one last good get-together."
"Okay, then don't stay out too late. Do you have enough money and tickets?"
"Well, that's enough."
Xu Zixin, who was in a hurry, didn't ask any more questions after a brief introduction and left for work one after the other with Qian Huiru.
Having enjoyed the show, Su Ning, in a good mood, followed the two out of the house.
