Dividing family property is a big deal these days.
Nowadays, slogans like “unity and progress” and “mutual love” are everywhere. Who wouldn’t be laughed at for dividing their family property?
Qian Youde never imagined that overnight, not only would all his plans fall apart, but he would also become a laughingstock!
He had saved a considerable amount of money over the past two years, at least two thousand yuan. Why should he give it to Jiang Mingyu?!
Qian Youde, his face flushed with anger, smiled and said, “I remember every penny you spent on me back then, but unfortunately I have no money now, and I won’t have any in the future. You can’t take your money back. All I have is the tattered quilt you wore when you married me, a few pots and pans, and some grain, oil, and flour coupons. Do you want them?”
“No, then forget it!”
“Wow! Living in such a big house, and you still won’t share any money with people?”
“So stingy!”
“How could Qian Youde be this kind of person? I didn’t see it coming!”
The neighbors gossiped, their eyes filled with contempt.
Su Hongmei, her face red with anger, rushed out of the house again, grabbing two wads of coins.
“Get out! You just want money, don’t you? I knew all along that you wouldn’t divorce me for money, that you’d been clinging to Ade and wouldn’t leave. Here! Hurry up and pick up this money and get out!” The
money was scattered all over the ground.
At most thirty yuan.
Jiang Mingyu didn’t want the family property;
she wanted their reputations ruined.
See, Qian Youde is so angry, hasn’t he achieved his goal?
He’s broken ties with her, that’s perfect!
She won’t need to go back to the Qian family anymore.
She won’t need to have any connection with them.
“Let’s part amicably,”
Jiang Mingyu said calmly, bending down to pick up the money while wiping away tears. She smiled gently, showing no sign of hysteria.
“I wish you two, you scumbags, a long and miserable life together, but a terrible death.”
What?
“You—”
“You bitch! How dare you say such vicious things to curse us?!”
Qian Youde had just erupted in anger when Su Hongmei stepped forward, raising her hand to slap her face.
But a figure blocked her way.
Huo Mingfeng disgustedly tossed her aside, wiping his hands.
“Miss Su, calm down.” ”
Huo Mingfeng! You dare stop me? Believe me, I’ll have my dad fire you!”
Su Hongmei roared angrily.
Jiang Mingyu looked at the man blocking her path, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
This was a feeling that no amount of money in her past life could buy.
“Miss Su can give it a try,”
Huo Mingfeng smiled,
but there was no smile in his eyes.
Stared at like that, Su Hongmei felt guilty and instinctively backed away: “Fine! You wait! You two just wait!”
She grabbed her clothes and ran.
“Hongmei!”
Qian Youde hurriedly followed,
but then turned back to find his clothes to put on.
Before leaving, he glared at Jiang Mingyu with a sinister look: “Jiang Mingyu, I never thought you would disregard our five years of marriage and try to ruin me like this!”
“Wait, I won’t let you get away with this!”
He left with these harsh words and chased after his beloved.
“Heh.”
Fortunately, Huo Mingfeng was there to shield her,
and no one noticed Jiang Mingyu’s sly smile.
She waved the money at Qian Youde: “Meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight in the morning!”
After that, Huo Mingfeng took her away.
The security guards who came to support him dispersed, but couldn’t help whispering among themselves:
“Boss Su wouldn’t really fire Brother Huo, would he?”
“How could that be! Have you forgotten that Brother Huo is Boss Su’s second-in-command? Otherwise, how could he, at such a young age, be sitting in the chair of the head of the security department! That’s a big position in charge of weapons!”
“I also think Boss Su wouldn’t fire Brother Huo. I heard that Boss Su invited him for a long time before he came all the way from the north to become the head of the security department!”
…
Just as dawn broke, at the Huo family home.
“Aren’t you afraid he won’t come at eight o’clock?”
The two sat down inside, and Huo Mingfeng poured her a glass of water.
This little woman was so weak just now.
He shouldn’t be so forceful next time.
“I’m not afraid. Qian Youde is overjoyed right now, he can’t wait to divorce me.”
Jiang Mingyu took a sip of hot water and felt like she had come back to life.
It was late autumn.
It was freezing outside, and the performance just now had taken a lot of her energy, so she needed to rest.
Huddled under the covers, she squinted like a kitten.
“Thank you for earlier.”
“You’re welcome,”
Huo Mingfeng replied politely.
He patiently sat with Jiang Mingyu for a while.
After Jiang Mingyu fell asleep, he got up and went outside, bringing out three little radishes.
“What are you looking at? Never seen a woman before?”
Two boys and a girl, their faces chapped from the cold, but they didn’t look like Huo Mingfeng.
They grinned, “Dad, we have a stepmother now?”
Huo Mingfeng: “…”
He’d never seen any child so eager for a stepmother.
Weren’t they afraid their stepmother would treat them badly?
Only Sanya seemed normal, looking worried, “Dad, has Auntie bullied you?”
“Hey! Sanya, you’re overthinking it. It’s good enough that Dad doesn’t bully others, who would dare bully him!”
“Exactly! I think this stepmother is great, pretty! Big boobs! Dad, you have good taste!”
Huo Mingfeng’s face darkened.
“You brat, where did you learn such nonsense? Forgot everything! Finish your meal and go to school!”
Da Wa and Er Wa were the most sharp-tongued, completely different from the timid Sanya.
Now, Huo Mingfeng began to worry: after marriage, would Jiang Mingyu be able to tolerate these two unruly children?
That night, Jiang Mingyu slept fitfully.
Her soul was sucked into a ring,
which contained a hidden world filled with the two billion worth of supplies she had bought in her previous life!
That’s two billion! Two billion!
The space, over a thousand square meters, was crammed full!
Instant noodles unavailable in this era, daily necessities unused—she had them all!
Was she dreaming, or was it real?
Jiang Mingyu quickly pinched herself.
But when she woke up, she was back in this dilapidated mud-brick house.
Frowning, she couldn’t help but examine the ring.
This shouldn’t be happening;
how did this old ring end up in the 1980s with her?
Suddenly, she remembered her so-called “wealthy destiny.”
Could this ring be the thing that would bring her wealth?
But how did she get inside?
Jiang Mingyu tapped and banged,
splat!
Her finger was accidentally cut by the ring,
and suddenly, she was inside again.
This time, not her soul, but her body!
“This is… a real space?!”
Jiang Mingyu hadn’t been this excited even when she first hired a male model.
She was overjoyed, rummaging through the room for a moment, finding a rice jar, a flour jar, and an oil drum, quickly emptying them all, even placing a basket of apples and eggs by the window.
Hearing footsteps outside, she lay back down on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
Sure enough, Huo Mingfeng came in to get the cooking utensils.
Seeing the suddenly full storage of food, Huo Mingfeng was dumbfounded for the first time, tapping his head.
“When did I buy this?”
When he saw the eggs and apples on the windowsill, he was even more shocked and rushed over.
“Or am I dreaming?”
He looked around and, seeing that no one was around
, decided to put them away first!
