Chapter 774: Chapter 463 Special Association_2

Xue Yuantong had never been one to meddle in other people’s affairs, let alone step in with righteous indignation to dissuade them.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and then beckoned with a curl of his finger.

River Dam Bungalow.

Zhang Ruyun was at home petting his dog, the ferocious Black Back Wolf Dog, which could only submit meekly to its owner.

Just as he was stroking the black dog’s fur, the Black Back Wolf Dog suddenly stood up and, with all four legs, dashed desperately towards the door.

Uncle Zhang cursed, "You ungrateful mongrel!"

No need to guess; the dog had definitely run to the neighbor’s house.

In the past, Uncle Zhang had hated it, gone mad, and felt helpless, but now, he had gradually gotten used to it.

If you can’t change it, then face life with a smile.

...

The north side of the river dam.

One kilometer away from the bungalow.

Amidst a large area of shade, there was a pit that was about 8 meters wide and roughly 15 meters long, dug out by an excavator.

The water, originally a pale blue, had now become murky. Teenagers splashed in the water while Yellow Hair stood at the edge and leapt in, causing a huge splash.

"Awesome, awesome!"

The teenagers competed in swimming but all avoided the deepest end of the pit, having heard it was over two meters deep.

In previous swims, they unanimously avoided that area.

However, today, caught up in the excitement, Yellow Hair stood in the water, which reached only his shoulders, and proposed,

"Guys, shall we give it a try?"

One timid boy showed fear in his eyes, "No way, no way. It’s deep, you could drown."

"Yeah," agreed the other three, treating that area like a taboo.

"Look how scared you all are!" Yellow Hair scoffed, "This side is too shallow, it’s boring."

As he prepared to try, the timid boy said, "Hold on, let me find a stick to check how deep it is."

Saying this, he climbed to the bank and was about to look for a stick when he realized their clothes piled there were gone.

He panicked and shouted, "Damn it, where are my clothes?"

Yellow Hair replied impatiently, "Aren’t the clothes right there?"

"Bro, bro, your clothes are gone too!" said the timid boy with a crestfallen face.

Upon hearing this, Yellow Hair quickly climbed to the shore to look for the clothes only to find a single vest left among what used to be a pile.

At that moment, a large wolf dog came running from a distance, grabbed the remaining vest, and bolted.

Yellow Hair was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Damn!"

"Guys, chase it!"

The other boys quickly realized that the dog must have taken their clothes.

"What the hell kind of luck is this!"

Taking a dip in the river, and now the clothes were gone.

They tumbled and scrambled in pursuit, creating a scene under the sun on the river dam: five boys chasing one dog.

...

Supermarket.

Xue Yuantong excitedly said to Jiang Ning, "You definitely don’t know that our travel vouchers can even be reimbursed for shopping in Yuzhou!"

The day before yesterday, she had gone to the Changqing Liquid Company’s finance department to submit her reimbursement documents. Xue Yuantong had prepared thoroughly.

However, the staff member in charge of approvals simply asked a few questions and approved them.

Immediately, she thought of many clever ways to take advantage.

Jiang Ning replied indifferently, "Yeah, right, I didn’t know."

Xue Yuantong snorted, "I’m the smart one. Let me tell you, Green Liquid Company is so big, if you went in, you might be too scared to even speak!"

Jiang Ning, "Yeah, indeed, I wouldn’t dare step foot in there."

By contrast, Xue Yuantong was brimming with joy, thinking she was someone who could accomplish big things and face grand scenes.

In the future, she would take full control of the household authority, and Jiang Ning would have to rely on her for survival.

They reached the dairy section of the supermarket, where Xue Yuantong asked, "Do you drink milk?"

Jiang Ning, "I’ll take some plain milk."

Xue Yuantong, "Don’t you think plain milk is tasteless?"

Jiang Ning, "It’s okay, just plain milk for me."

"But it’s tasteless," Xue Yuantong said, "don’t you want something sweet?"

"I don’t," Jiang Ning answered.

Xue Yuantong chuckled, "No way, you definitely love sweet things!"

With that, she picked up a box of Want Want milk.

Jiang Ning replied, "I think it’s you who loves it."

...

After browsing the supermarket, Jiang Ning stored the purchased items in a supermarket locker.

Xue Yuantong had only heard about storage lockers and had never used one. She stood in front of the lockers, examining them carefully as if she was pondering something.

Not until Jiang Ning told her that the movie was about to start did she snap out of it.

After watching the movie and heading home, the night had fallen, and the street lamps along the river dam lit up.

Some street vendors selling snacks and vegetables appeared on both sides of the road.

"Chuchu sent me a message saying she has prepared dinner and is just waiting for us to get back home," Xue Yuantong spoke as she walked.

Jiang Ning nodded. Xue Chuchu often freeloaded at their place and always stubbornly looked for opportunities to reciprocate.

"Jiang Ning, the tofu pudding seller is here again!" Xue Yuantong waved, "Mr. Qian is having tofu pudding again."

"Huh, there’s also a deep-fried stall. Look, they’ve got the gas cylinder hanging on the side of the cart!" Xue Yuantong said.

She was terribly afraid of gas cylinders, fearing they might explode at any moment.

Jiang Ning, however, wasn’t concerned at all. The amulet he had made for Tongtong had been strengthened several times; even if a gas cylinder exploded right next to her, it couldn’t harm her in the slightest.

"Jiang Ning, look, the rabbit seller, so cute!" Xue Yuantong called out.

"Yeah, cute," Jiang Ning responded, "but the rabbit will be killed soon."

The shop owner was sharpening his knife, looking menacing.

Xue Yuantong felt as if the rabbit was about to cry; her heart couldn’t bear it.

They cycled all the way home, and Xue Yuantong, smelling the delicious scent from Chuchu’s kitchen, quickly dragged Jiang Ning along to freeload a meal.

"Chuchu, it smells so good!" Xue Yuantong sniffed with her little nose.

She shared with Chuchu, "I just passed by the river dam, and there were people selling rabbits, which were super cute. Sadly, such cute rabbits were killed by the shop owner."

After hearing this, Xue Chuchu nodded at Tongtong and said,

"No worries, I managed to save half of one."

With that, she uncovered the pot, revealing the fragrant, red-braised rabbit meat inside.

...

After dinner.

Xue Yuantong, smelling of smoke from cooking, went home to take a shower.

Jiang Ning continued using Xue Yuantong’s game account to pair up with Shang Caiwei and level up in the game. The little girl had no idea her gaming partner had changed.

Midway through the game, Chen Siqing sent a message:

"Jiang Ning, my cousin got into trouble!"

Then, she called him.

Jiang Ning continued playing the game, multitasking, "And then?"

That day, the twins had joined Jiang Ning in the business car, which is how they found out how nefarious their cousin’s ideas were. He had racked up so much debt and ended up plotting against them.

Whenever Chen Siqing recalled her cousin, she couldn’t help but shudder.

"We thought Uncle had washed his hands of my cousin after selling the house, but today the police called to inform us that my cousin had been hospitalized in a mental institution..."

Chen Siqing recounted the events, with occasional interjections by her sister Chen Siyu.

Regarding their cousin, the two sisters felt no pity for his predicament nor did they harbor much hatred; instead, they were numb.

There was a sense of wonder, possibly thinking that it was karma.

"After our cousin got in trouble, a lot of creditors started coming to Uncle’s house. That’s when we realized he had borrowed hundreds of thousands from various sources without repaying," Chen Siqing shared.

Her sister, Chen Siyu, chimed in, "Not only did he borrow from banks, but he also took loans from many lenders."

Chen Siqing said bitterly, "Being able to borrow so much money is a talent in itself."

Chen Siyu curiously asked, "Can everyone borrow this much?"

Jiang Ning replied, "No, before offering a loan, banks need to look at your credit history."

Chen Siyu asked, "What’s credit?"

"A credit assessment report."

"Oh, so as long as your credit is good, you can get a loan?" Chen Siyu said, "That seems simple."

Jiang Ning gave the twins a crash course on credit knowledge:

"There’s a lot to consider, such as whether your family has collateral -- real estate, cars, valuable items -- and also, how much cash flow you usually have."

As he finished talking...

Chen Siqing’s cheeks ’flared’ red, and she spat to herself, ’Why did he suddenly ask such a question?!’

Chen Siyu covered the phone’s mouthpiece, blushed, and whispered to her sister, "Jiang Ning is such a rogue!"
