Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Night School Enrollment

A few words from Jiang Cheng and He Dan’s expression changed dramatically, looking extremely unpleasant.

Lin Mother felt somewhat moved by what she heard but was concerned that the six hundred yuan came from He Dan, finding it difficult to make any decision at that moment.

Thinking of this, Lin Mother immediately grabbed He Dan’s hand.

"Jiang Cheng, stop sowing discord. He Dan is just like my daughter!"

Jiang Cheng couldn’t hold back and laughed, her voice clear and strong.

"Your daughter title is cheap indeed."

With Jiang Cheng’s reminder, everyone recalled that Lin Mother also said this to Jiang Cheng yesterday.

"Mom, I trust you; we are a family."

He Dan wasn’t foolish and offered Lin Mother a way out with a single phrase.

Lin Mother immediately regained her confidence and said, "That’s right, we are indeed a family!"

Jiang Cheng ignored the passive-aggressive Lin Mother, turned around, waved her hand casually, and hummed a little tune.

"Fish finds fish, shrimp finds shrimp, tortoise finds green beans, truly a family! Thanks to you, happiness to the whole family, just waiting for the right time to repay."

As Jiang Cheng entered the Shen Family house, the door closed, blocking outside views.

Lin Mother was livid, feeling as though Jiang Cheng was cursing and subtly mocking her, yet she couldn’t lose her temper.

Lin Chengyuan mentioned yesterday to keep quiet lately, as any mishap at work wouldn’t be worth it.

Lin Mother had a belly full of grievances and could only vent her anger at the stunned Lin Jiaojiao.

"What are you staring at? Trying to find a bloom? All day long doing nothing, just ready to eat with an open mouth! Today you’re cooking!"

Lin Jiaojiao was yelled at by Lin Mother, finally snapping out of her dazed state.

"Mom—Jiang Cheng she—"

"Stop bringing her up with me!"

Lin Mother was dissatisfied with Lin Jiaojiao’s stupidity, wishing she could suppress Jiang Cheng, but without the capability, leaving herself embarrassed.

Lin Jiaojiao pouted.

"Mom, I don’t know how to cook?"

"Not knowing doesn’t mean you can’t learn!"

Lin Mother shouted irritably, leading to another round of arguments over who should cook.

Ultimately, Lin Mother cooked with He Dan, and Lin Jiaojiao couldn’t escape from it.

Jiang Cheng paid no attention to this.

The Lin Family always had never-ending arguments!

At this moment, in Shen Family across the door, Jiang Cheng took out eight fruit candies, giving Shen Xing, Shen Yue, and Granny Shen two each, and put one in her own mouth.

"Sweet mouth."

Shen Xing and Shen Yue looked at Granny Shen.

Granny Shen wanted to refuse.

"Grandma Shen, you helped speak for me earlier. Now, eating my thank you candy, surely you’re not refusing out of disdain for its small quantity?"

Granny Shen was speechless.

She wasn’t particularly familiar with Jiang Cheng, but she felt this girl had quite the knack for talking.

"All right, all right, eat then."

Granny Shen agreed, and Shen Xing and Shen Yue thanked her, taking the fruit candies, opening the packaging yet not tossing them, instead cherishingly placed them in their books. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The citrus scent wafted around the small dining table, sweet and filling the heart with sweetness.

Dinner was millet cakes, cabbage soup, plus mustard nādādā salted vegetable strips.

After dinner, Granny Shen went to wash the dishes, and Jiang Cheng, seeing this, casually watched the two little ones do their homework.

Shen Xing was in second grade, Shen Yue in preschool; she’d start first grade in September.

Seeing Shen Xing’s math mistake, Jiang Cheng pointed it out, then nodded after he corrected it, indicating correctness.

"Sister Jiang Cheng, they say you haven’t been to school; why do you know these things?"

Jiang Cheng held an elementary school’s Chinese textbook, flipping a page with her index finger, speaking in the calmest tone:

"Because I’m exceptionally gifted and cannot bear wasting that."

Shen Xing’s eyes widened; his little mind was struck by a massive shock; people can self-praise like this?

"Isn’t it supposed to be impeccable beauty, unwilling to go wasted?"

Jiang Cheng put down the book in her hand, seriously facing Shen Xing: "Shen Xing, let sister tell you something; there’ll always be some special people in this world."

"Like me, looking good and being ridiculously talented. Sometimes I wonder, making life hard for others, why grow me when you have everyone else?"

Shen Xing offered a fake smile.

He was mistaken.
