After returning to her room and locking the door, Nan Mo flashed into her space.
She had barely eaten dinner, so she took out a McDonald’s set meal along with a cup of milk tea and ate heartily.
It had been a long time since she had eaten this kind of food. She really had missed it.
Even after finishing, she still did not feel satisfied, so she took out a steak and paired it with some cherries. Only then did she feel full.
She had only one day of rest tomorrow, so she needed to prepare in advance.
She took out sacks she had bought online and, using her mind, filled ten bags each of rice and flour in sizes of one hundred jin, fifty jin, ten jin, and five jin.
She also took out fifty jin of dried noodles in one jin bundles and packed thirty jin of the most ordinary apples.
For pork, she took twenty portions, each weighing two jin, plus twenty pig trotters.
That was right. Tomorrow she planned to visit the black market. Mother Nan had given her plenty of money, but who would ever complain about having too much?
She wanted to buy lots of houses in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and even Hong Kong. In the future, just collecting rent would let her parents live like nobility.
Were they not trying to pull her father down from his position as factory director? She would rather not let him work at all. It did not matter if he stopped.
Do not talk to her about dreams. Her dream was to lie at home and still collect money, letting her loved ones live without worries.
After finishing everything, she checked the time. Three hours had passed inside the space, while only eighteen minutes had passed outside.
She relaxed and soaked in a spirit spring essential oil bath. She even placed a fruit platter beside the tub.
While zoning out, she suddenly thought of tonight’s exceptional specimen.
A young man appearing at the brigade leader’s house was probably Gu Baolin’s son… right, the brigade leader’s son.
The mysterious big shot from the original novel.
In the book, Wu Mingyue had used spirit spring water to create beauty formulas and health pills. Her business had been wildly successful, and she had earned a fortune.
Tang Yifan did not like Wu Mingyue’s personality. He preferred girls like Mo Meilin, lively and playful.
But he also liked Wu Mingyue’s money. So he neither accepted nor rejected her, always keeping her hanging.
Mo Meilin knew Wu Mingyue had a profitable business. Since you use money to keep Tang Yifan, then I’ll destroy your path to wealth.
She knew that many officials’ wives in town and even in the city had grown close to Wu Mingyue because of her formulas.
So Mo Meilin wrote a report letter directly to the provincial level.
She accused Wu Mingyue of spreading immoral influences, cheating and swindling, and illegal trading.
She also accused the brigade leader of turning a blind eye, and mentioned certain city and town officials who allegedly had improper relationships with Wu Mingyue and sheltered her crimes.
That single report was meant not only to destroy Wu Mingyue but also to drag down everyone who had helped create her money making opportunities.
Wu Mingyue had spent her earnings not only on Tang Yifan but also on the Tang family in the capital. Thanks to her “generosity,” they had received plenty of benefits.
If Wu Mingyue got into trouble and her money trail was investigated, the Tang family would be implicated, so they had no choice but to intervene to protect her.
In the end, Wu Mingyue was transferred to another province to continue as an educated youth. Before leaving, she brought Tang Yifan into her space and showed him her special ability.
After that, Tang Yifan abandoned Mo Meilin and followed Wu Mingyue to the other province.
The smallest figure mentioned in the report was the Xiangyang Brigade’s leader.
Yet the one who ultimately escaped unscathed and received no punishment was precisely Gu Baolin.
It was said that Gu Baolin’s son had great prestige in the military. After hearing about the matter, he made a single phone call and protected his father.
The original line in the book was:
“My father doesn’t care whether he stays brigade leader or not, but I will never allow anyone to use such nonsense to drag him down from that position.
Do they not know whether my father did anything wrong? They keep questioning all day. If they used that energy for proper work, they wouldn’t have been sent by the organization to trouble a small brigade leader.”
When she read it back then, she had thought those words were incredibly cool. Now that she had seen Gu Ran in person…
So there really was someone whose personality and looks both perfectly matched her taste.
Seeing she had soaked long enough, Nan Mo got out, tossed her dirty clothes into the washing machine, and decided to sleep inside the space that night.
She slept a full twelve hours.
After washing up, she took out a basket of soup dumplings and a bowl of millet porridge, opened her tablet, found a variety show, and ate while watching.
After finishing, she took out some meat and vegetables and began cooking in the kitchen.
Cooking for herself did not mean she would always have time to cook. Although she had bought plenty of ready made food before transmigrating, it was still best to prepare extra.
She set a schedule. After cooking for three or four hours, she would eat and rest for a while. That was the drawback of the space. There was no distinction between night and day.
After cooking seven or eight meals and sleeping three or four times, it should be nearly dawn outside. She washed up and left the space.
She wiped her room clean from top to bottom, then cooked a pot of white rice porridge, set out some pickled vegetables, and steamed eight meat buns she had bought from the state run restaurant while waiting for Lu Yuanyuan and the others.
“Xiao Mo, are you up?” Lu Yuanyuan called from her own yard toward Nan Mo’s.
“Come over. Breakfast is ready.”
When they came over, they saw several of the new educated youths from the back yard heading toward the front yard.
It seemed the result from yesterday was that they had decided to eat with the older educated youths.
“Educated Youth Nan, are you home?” a male voice called from outside the yard.
Nan Mo stepped out and saw Carpenter Gu and his son delivering the furniture.
“Sorry about yesterday, Educated Youth Nan. My daughter in law went into labor, so my son couldn’t make it. That’s why we came early this morning to deliver it,” the carpenter said.
“It’s alright, it’s not urgent,” Nan Mo replied, stepping aside to let them bring the furniture in.
Lu Yuanyuan and the others hurriedly finished eating and returned to their own rooms to arrange the furniture.
Once everything was settled, they headed toward the village entrance where the ox cart waited.
After arriving in town, they first went to the post office to mail letters home reporting they were safe.
Since Nan Mo needed to go to her father’s “comrade’s” house to pick something up, the four of them split up.
