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

Chapter 196 Handing Over Family Wealth
This 500,000 yuan was only a small portion of his money; the majority was donated to the military, which saved Jiang Chen's position in the army. Of course, his own abilities also played a significant role.

Jiang Chen gave Bai Jing things that had been officially disclosed, and some of them were things that her grandfather had hidden away, so they couldn't be taken out now.

Now Bai Jing understands why the Jiang family wanted to bleed Jiang Chen dry back then.

However, in her previous life, she didn't hear that the Jiang family had changed much after Jiang Chen's death. Does that mean that the Jiang family actually didn't get anything from Jiang Chen's maternal family in either of her two lifetimes?

If that's the case, Bai Jing really admires that deceased old man. It's a pity that he ultimately couldn't protect his grandson, causing him to pass away early as well.

"Looks like I've found a rich man." Bai Jing smiled and put away the bankbook.

In a few more years, she will be able to use this money to do great things, and then he and she will never have to worry about money again. No matter what he does, she will support him.

"They're all yours." Jiang Chen said with a doting expression.

The couple boarded the train home, and the sticky, sour smell along the way made many passersby envious of the young couple.

After the train arrived in City A, Jiang Chen did not take Bai Jing back to town by car, but instead took her to a quiet courtyard.

Bai Jing then realized that Jiang Chen actually owned property in City A. Because he was a soldier, the local authorities didn't dare to touch his house. Don't treat those outside military control like paper tigers.

Jing knew about the Military Control Office; she had come into contact with it in her previous life. Although she didn't know much about it, she still approved of their responsible and disciplined approach to things.

These days, there are plenty of shameless people, so we have to show our claws.

Because the house had been uninhabited for a long time, a thick layer of dust had settled inside. "Don't bother with it. Just clean out two rooms, and we can clean the rest later." After learning that Bai Jing might be coming to City A, he thought of this courtyard.

The location is convenient and close to the city center, so he feels very comfortable letting her stay here. His friends also live nearby.

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all about her being left without anyone to take care of her after he was gone.

Thinking of his friends, Jiang Chen decided to stay here for another day with Bai Jing, so he could introduce her to his friends. Of course, he would still ask Bai Jing's opinion; if she didn't want to meet them, then they wouldn't have to.

Upon learning this, Bai Jing naturally agreed, "What's the big deal? You'd be happy to introduce your friend to me, Tongxing, so why wouldn't I agree?" Since their relationship progressed further, Jiang Chen has always put her first, which makes Bai Jing very satisfied.

She was satisfied but also felt sorry for him. Based on her experience, Jiang Chen's tendency to always go along with her meant he lacked a sense of security, was afraid of her leaving, and was afraid of her dissatisfaction.

He was what she wanted, so how could she be dissatisfied with him, and how could she leave him?

He changed her fate, and she wanted to change his fate as well, which is why she didn't want to see him being so cautious in everything he did.

"If you're willing, then I'll inform them later and have them come over tomorrow." It's getting late, and we can't let them come over and disturb Bai Jing's rest.

“But the house isn’t cleaned up yet, so when they come over tomorrow, there won’t even be a place for them to sit.” Bai Jing asked, frowning slightly as she looked at the two rooms that had just been cleaned.

Both of them were injured. Although Bai Jing was being nourished by the Source of Life, she dared not underestimate Jiang Chen's intelligence and therefore did not take it. As a result, her wounds had not yet fully healed.

She couldn't tidy up such a big yard in a day.

Jiang Chen pondered for a while, and then said to her, "I'm going out for a bit. Wait for me at home, I'll be back soon."

Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she didn't stop him. "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Jiang Chen returned about half an hour after he left.

Not only did he return, but he was also followed by four or five aunties. "Jiang Chen, who are these aunties?" Bai Jing asked, walking towards Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Chen smiled and said to Bai Jing, "These are the aunties I invited to help out. They're all neighbors from around here. You'll have a chance to get to know them when you live here." After introducing them to Bai Jing, Jiang Chen led them into the house to help with tidying up.

They brought all their own tools.

Bai Jing wanted to help, but Jiang Chen wouldn't let her. He said he would help lift the heavy objects if needed later.

However, the aunties weren't oblivious. They had known Xiao Jiang for a long time and knew his personality, so they didn't let him get involved and simply told the young couple to go and rest.

With so many people around, Bai Jing felt too embarrassed to rest, so she could only do light work while chatting with the other women.

Jiang Chen was sent to rest by her, who said that this was a woman's world and that he, a grown man, was in the way.

Feeling rejected, Jiang Chen could only go back to his room.

The aunties are incredibly capable; in about an hour, the entire courtyard was transformed, turning its previous dilapidated state into a tranquil little courtyard.

Although it's a bit empty and lacks a sense of life, it's fine for a short stay.

When Bai Jing saw the aunties off, she gave each of them a handful of candy, mainly because she had a very pleasant chat with them.

"It finally looks like a home." Bai Jing looked at the fruits of her hard work with a satisfied expression.

"Home is where you are." Jiang Chen also liked this atmosphere, but unfortunately he hadn't felt it since his grandfather and the others passed away. "Xiao Jing, let's live here from now on."

Bai Jing readily agreed, "Sure." She smiled and strolled around the yard, "I want to plant some vegetables here, and also a sweet osmanthus tree next to the gate."

As she spoke, images quickly formed in Jiang Chen's mind, and his chest was filled with happiness.

"I'll do whatever you say. I'll plant them as soon as I get back from town." He readily agreed to her request.

"Okay, I'll plant some chili peppers and eggplants, and cucumbers too, I like to eat them. Oh, and long beans too, those make the best pickled long beans with rice." As she spoke, Bai Jing's stomach started rumbling.

"Let's go out to eat."

The two tidied up their home and notified everyone who needed to be notified. They slept soundly that night.

The next day, Bai Jing woke up early because she was going to treat her friends to a meal. She planned to buy groceries and cook for them.

But Jiang Chen refused, saying, "No need to cook. They'll be over tonight. We can just get some food to take back. Don't forget, you're not fully healed yet." How could he let her go through all that trouble?

Bai Jing didn't argue with him. "Okay, I don't know much about City A, and I'm not sure about the standards for treating people to meals. Then I'll trouble you. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities."

Seeing that she had given up on cooking, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. "Okay, I'll cook with you."

When Nan Lichen brought his wife and children over, he ran into Shao Qing with his wife and daughter on the way. As soon as they met, Nan Lichen called out to Shao Qing loudly.

"Daqing".

"Li Chen".
