CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 159: A MATTER OF ALL BENEFIT AND NO HARM

He Jinxuan waved his hand, "These are all what the canteen replaced. It’s just perfect for you to use here, only went through a formal procedure with the finance department, didn’t cost much."

As he spoke, he had already placed the medium-sized iron pot he brought on the stove and neatly arranged a few bundles of pre-split firewood under the stove shed, "It’s getting late, you should rest early."

After saying this, he quickly left.

What He Jinxuan was thinking was: It’s too late, if someone sees, it might affect Miss’s reputation.

Watching him blend into the night, Xinyan then turned around, closed the gate, and returned to the courtyard, feeling a strange sensation rise within her. One must say, He Jinxuan is a meticulous person.

Seeing another snakeskin bag at the door, she took a few steps forward and opened it. Besides a few bowls and plates, there were also two small basins. She had planned to buy them herself on her day off on Sunday, but unexpectedly, He Jinxuan brought them. Adding the stuff sent by the Zhao Family and the Wu Family earlier, it was complete now.

However, she still planned to buy some useful utensils during her break since the Wu Family’s Sister-in-law’s double-eared pot and the Zhao Family’s small stove needed to be returned.

She had long planned that when she got into university, she would buy an apartment near the school. After all, these things would be used there and convenient to use by then.

After tidying up the items, she returned to her room and entered the space. The vegetables she had planted earlier had already been harvested once, and those she couldn’t eat were stored in the warehouse.

She discovered that after the fruits in the space matured, they must be harvested, or it would affect the next blooming and fruiting.

The time these trees took to bloom, fruit, and mature was about the same as outside. However, if they remained unpicked upon maturing, they would stay mature forever.

Only after picking the matured fruits would they regularly adjust themselves, blooming and fruiting again.

As for the rules, the space had its own system, which she still hadn’t figured out.

After harvesting all the mature crops in the space, she washed up, prepared to rest, thinking that once she found the opportunity, she would sell these items. Having money in hand allows her to do what she wants.

For example, buying her own house in the city where she goes to university. Then, she could bring Granny Zhang to live with her and take care of her. In a few years, she could invest in some real enterprises, given that the origin of the money must be justified, and it’s always better to be cautious.

Recalling what He Jinxuan once said, she mixed a large basin of two-flour dough, planning to steam some dry food to give to them as a return gift for theirs.

At the Qiu Family, all other houses in the yard had extinguished their lights, leaving only the couple’s room still lit.

Head of the family, Qiu Jouxuan, was sitting on the kang, smoking his water pipe, feeling a bit uneasy, not knowing if this step he took was right or not.

Huang Yufeng, sitting idly after preparing the bedding, suddenly spoke, "Old man, must we send Qingmei?"

Qiu Jouxuan sighed, "Who told us to speak so confidently that day? If we don’t go, I’m afraid Han Chunli will have plenty of ways to deal with us."

Huang Yufeng got anxious, "We shouldn’t have meddled with this troublesome matter back then."

Qiu Jouxuan unhappily looked at his wife, "It’s easy for you to say. If we hadn’t taken in that child back then, could we have gotten so much money and the good life we have now?"

Huang Yufeng dared not say anything further. They did benefit back then as they bought this job with that money, preventing them from starving during the famine: "But I still feel uneasy letting Qingmei go there alone."

Qiu Jouxuan put out the water pipe, "They said they’d send someone to pick her up. Having decided back then, we can’t go back now. This is all for Qingmei’s own good."

The tears in Huang Yufeng’s eyes were on the verge of falling. That’s the child she raised lovingly. Good fortune came to the family when she was pregnant with her, so she always saw her daughter as their lucky star.

It was only due to selfish desires that they did such a thing back then, but now to send her daughter away, it truly pained her heart.

Qiu Jouxuan blew out the lamp, turned around, and got onto the kang, "Sleep now, they should come to pick her up first thing tomorrow morning. Make sure to cook the foods Qingmei likes."

"Besides, didn’t they say that Qingmei will be sent back to take exams during the college entrance examination? Regardless of her scores, she’ll be placed in a university. You’re aware of Qingmei’s grades. This plan is for her own future."

Things had come to this point, and it wasn’t something he could turn back even if he wanted to. If that woman found out about their lies, their good days might not be preserved. He did love his daughter, but he had to think of the family.

Moreover, when Qingmei gets there, she might support the family in the future. Han Chunli said their daughter would be the daughter of the family head in the capital. Overall, it’s a situation of one hundred benefits without a single harm for the family, hopefully, everything will go as planned.
