Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 103 Who Complains About Not Having Enough Money?
The younger siblings chattered excitedly around Bai Jing, making quite a scene. Bai Jing gave them the gifts she had brought back one by one, which made them even more excited.

They all kept saying thank you, big sister.

When Luo Chunhua and Bai Quanfu returned, the children were already waiting at the dinner table, eager for them to come back for dinner.

The meal was very lavish, far surpassing anything we had seen in Baijia Village.

Bai Quanfu was so happy that he drank a glass of wine, which Luo Chunhua had bought for him.

It has to be said that a family-oriented man deserves his wife's love and care.

When your wife no longer relies on you, it proves that you are dispensable to this family.

After the meal, Bai Jing also presented her parents' gifts, making Luo Chunhua and Bai Quanfule's smiles impossible to hide.

"You silly girl, that's not how you spend money. You're not allowed to do that again." Luo Chunhua was very happy to receive her daughter's gift, but she was also a little reluctant to part with it.

Bai Quanfu didn't say anything, but he took out two yuan and gave it to Bai Jing as pocket money.

This is the money he saved after receiving his salary. He gave half to his wife and used the rest for his children.

That's definitely a loving father.

Though it came late, it warmed people's hearts.

Bai Jing didn't refuse, accepted it directly, and said thank you.

She also gave Bai Quanfu a piece of the Life Star Jade Pendant that she had previously tricked out of the system, as a way of forgiving and acknowledging him.

The Star of Life is like jade but not jade; in any case, it looks like fake jade at first glance, and wearing it won't cause any trouble.

Now, almost everyone in the family has one, though they vary in size.

This thing can improve your health, and it's not conspicuous when worn.

Each of my second and third uncles' families has one, but they're not as big as ours.

The days after returning were leisurely, but the image of one person kept appearing in Bai Jing's mind.

When she misses someone, that person will also think of her.

"Captain Jiang, why aren't you going on this mission?"

At a secret base, several soldiers surrounded Jiang Chen, who was packing his things in his dormitory.

"Something came up at home, so I have to go back. There might be a new mission afterwards. Okay, you guys go train now, be careful not to get seen by Captain Deng."

Jiang Chen's voice carried his unique coolness, but the words spoken in that cool voice were heartwarming.

"Captain Jiang, just tell us!" Captain Jiang wasn't like this before. Whenever there was a mission, regardless of whether he was suitable or not, he was always the first to rush in. But this time, he was acting so strangely, how could they not be curious?

Jiang Chen had no intention of keeping them here to spy on him. "Alright, if you keep doing this, I'll contact Captain Deng. Don't cry then."

Jiang Chen, with his cold face and imposing presence, sent chills down everyone's spines. The people surrounding them were all sworn brothers with him, and although they were somewhat intimidated, they weren't so afraid that they would run away at the first word he spoke.

"Old Jiang, stop trying to fool us. We believe you're not that cold-blooded." One of the three stepped forward and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder. "Old Jiang, tell us honestly, did you go home to go on a blind date?"

Jiang Chen is already twenty-five, and the organization is anxious to introduce him to potential partners. But this guy is like a heartless machine. No matter how much the girls try to win his favor, he remains unmoved and often embarrasses them.

It infuriated the leaders, but they couldn't do anything about it.

When the leader heard that he wanted to ask for leave, he immediately asked him why, but the guy was tight-lipped and didn't say a word.

There was no other way but to grant him leave, since he had plenty of vacation time anyway.

Jiang Chen stopped what he was doing and silently looked at Li Daniu, who was patting his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep, fierce light. "Don't you want your hand anymore?" Li Daniu was also a shrewd man, so he naturally knew that Jiang Chen was angry. "I want it, I want it, boss, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Seeing his spineless appearance, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. "Alright, get out. That's an order."

The three exchanged a glance, knowing that this was Jiang Chen's limit; if he continued to act recklessly, the three of them would be in trouble.

Jiang Chen left what he considered his second home. As he stepped out the door, he looked back at the five-pointed star shining brightly in the sun.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

He only had one thing on his mind when he asked for leave to go back: to see the girl who had taken the bullet for him. He had no other intentions; he just wanted to ask her why she did what she did.

Aside from her acknowledged family members, only she would defend her like this even though they didn't know her.

This thrill was what he had been longing for.

He saw the deep affection in the girl's eyes, and it was because he saw it that he wanted to ask her if she recognized him.

Jiang Chen was happy to learn that she lived in Hongyan Town, because Hongyan Town felt more like home to him than City A.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and drove away.

Bai Jing was dragged to work by Team Leader Lin once again, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"Team Leader Lin, I demand a raise." She's treated like a beast of burden; Team Leader Lin is truly a good person.

Lin Huayu looked at the resentment on her face and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. "Your salary is almost as high as mine, and you still want more? The Public Security Bureau might as well let you manage it."

This little girl is really obsessed with money. "If I remember correctly, the bonus for this mission was quite substantial. What, have you spent it all?"

Bai Jing glared at her captain with a half-dead expression, "Who would complain about having too much money in this world? Besides, with so many people in my family, how could that little bit of money be enough?"

Of course, these are all excuses. She simply doesn't want to live a life of hardship. Given a second chance, she naturally doesn't want to be too demanding of herself in life, after all, she suffered enough in her previous life.

"Heh, your parents really raised a filial child." Team Leader Lin was exasperated by her antics. "Alright, I'll put in a good word for you with Director Shao after this is over."

She only received her salary and didn't participate in any honors, which naturally made everyone in the bureau very happy. After all, when it came to the merits she made, they really didn't have anything to do with it.

"Alright, then let's wait for Captain Lin's good news."

Upon arrival, Team Leader Lin immediately got down to business.

However, when Bai Jing saw the messy yard, a figure popped into her mind: Wu Ming, her husband from her previous life.

How could she forget such a big thing? It's everyone's responsibility to deal with scumbags.

And Bai Manman, she won't let any of them go.

"Xiao Jin, help me check if any of these people have escaped."

This is a gambling den that has been shut down.

"It would be best to investigate who here is connected to Wu Ming and his gang. I almost forgot about these two people after leaving Baijia Village."

Xiao Jin diligently helped Bai Jing check on everyone.

Money was spent like water, but fortunately the result was good.

[Host, the fifth person on your left, the one lying on the ground directly in front of you, and the one being held captive by Captain Lin inside the room—these people are all connected to Wu Ming's gang; they are among the leaders of this gambling den.]

Xiao Jin accurately helped Bai Jing identify potential candidates.
