The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Childish

It took Tian Lu a great deal of effort to calm her son, who was throwing a tantrum about running away from home. Utterly exhausted, she returned to her bedroom.

Fu Haiting hadn’t returned to their room yet. Tian Lu washed up and lay on the bed, her mind a complete blank.

Suddenly, she thought of Fu Cheng.

’How wonderful it would be if the one with the Dual Ability was Fu Qi, not Fu Cheng.’

’She and Fu Haiting wouldn’t have to scheme and struggle so hard. According to the family rule that the strong survive, the position of Family Head would naturally fall into Fu Qi’s hands.’

’And then, if he married a daughter-in-law who also had a superpower, it was highly likely that Fu Qi’s children would also be Superpower Users.’

’Why was it that Fu Qi had no superpower, while Fu Cheng possessed a rare Dual Ability?’

Tian Lu was intensely jealous.

But she also knew that Fu Cheng’s mother was a large part of the reason.

Almost everyone in the Yun Family had a superpower. Even Yun Lian, who was adopted and not of their direct bloodline, had one.

Tian Lu thought, ’If I were a Superpower User like Yun Yao, surely one of Fu Qi or Fu Jialin would have awakened a power.’

’Unfortunately, I’m not.’

But fate could be a strange thing. She was an ordinary person, yet she had unexpectedly caught Fu Haiting’s eye. The two of them married, and while you couldn’t say they were passionately in love, they were very compatible.

Moreover, Fu Haiting never looked down on her for being an ordinary person, nor did he fool around with other women. He was wholeheartedly dedicated to fighting for their little family.

She should be content.

’Now, if I can just find a way for Fu Qi or Fu Jialin to awaken a superpower, everything will be perfect.’

They still had plenty of time to accomplish this.

Remembering the huge sum of money Fu Haiting had to pay, Tian Lu pursed her lips and began to wonder where they could get the funds.

’After all, this money can’t come from the family’s public accounts; it has to come from our private funds.’

’Oh, right! Fu Cheng still has a lot of Fu Haichen and Yun Yao’s private property under his name. The assets in the Imperial Capital Survival Base alone are probably worth tens of millions.’

’Counting the time, it’s been nearly two months since we dumped Fu Cheng on that fake heiress from the Shen Family. He should be well and truly dead by now, shouldn’t he?’

Although they had supposedly thrown Fu Cheng out of the Fu Family, Fu Haiting had discussed it with her. They decided not to remove him from the family registry so that when he died, they could inherit his estate.

Fu Cheng’s parents were deceased and he had no children, so as his uncle and aunt, they were able to inherit his estate.

Tian Lu excitedly opened her list of assets and scrolled through it several times, but she didn’t see what she was hoping for.

’There’s nothing new on the asset list. That means Fu Cheng isn’t dead yet. Otherwise, the system would have automatically assigned his inheritance to my name.’

Tian Lu couldn’t help but mutter, "Truly a menace that will live for a thousand years."

’How could someone who could die from a single missed breath manage to hold on for so long?’

Tian Lu really couldn’t understand.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided she might as well have someone look into it. If necessary, she could even help her nephew on his way. It was a hassle for him to keep clinging to life, and more importantly, it was delaying their plans. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

After Shen Lu finished watching Gong Tianhua’s apology, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled brightly.

Although she hadn’t gained any reputation value, seeing a villain get his just deserts filled her with an indescribable satisfaction.

It was like taking a sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day; a feeling of pure comfort spread from the inside out, from head to toe.

"So the government does have a shred of humanity," Shen Lu hummed to herself.

"Did he offend someone important?" Xue Can had no idea what Shen Lu and Fu Cheng had done. Like any other ordinary citizen, all he had seen was Gong Tianhua’s tell-all video and today’s apology.

Xue Can didn’t have many dealings with the government, but in his experience, when someone of Gong Tianhua’s rank made a mistake, the government would usually handle it quietly as long as it wasn’t treason. They wouldn’t broadcast it with such fanfare.

For Gong Tianhua to be apologizing publicly now, he guessed it was highly probable that he had offended someone powerful.
