Chapter 1802: Chapter 991: Two Strikes (Part 2)

However, Chuchu remained unchanged from start to finish.

She didn’t move closer because of his change, but instead maintained a distance throughout.

Chuchu is a very nice person, with looks and character that have no flaws. If it were the Jiang Ning from a previous life, he wouldn’t have a chance.

No matter whether it was Chuchu’s own wishes, or Hua Fengmei’s expectations for Chuchu that created obstacles, the Jiang Ning from a previous life couldn’t overcome them.

But Tongtong is different, if Jiang Ning was a little nicer to Tongtong in first year of high school.

Although Tongtong has a tough mouth, a girl who eats biscuits and drinks plain water is actually easily satisfied, and besides, she’s very loyal, always repaying kindness.

He most likely could trick Tongtong into making money for him.

So, thinking it over carefully, Jiang Ning still feels Tongtong is the best, then immediately thinks, ’Forget it, thinking about these things is ultimately meaningless.’

Jiang Ning quietly finished his meal, said a word to Chuchu, then turned around and left the kitchen.

Xue Chuchu watched his back disappear, a hint of confusion appeared between her brows; she felt today’s Jiang Ning was a bit strange, even not saying a word while eating just now.

...

Jiang Ning walked to Tongtong’s house, his gaze passed through the window, she was sleeping soundly.

Jiang Ning first sent a message to Brother Li of AAA Aquatic Products: "Today, I need a hundred catties of black carp, any available?"

Meanwhile, in the city’s spacious apartment.

Shen Qing’e had just finished washing the dishes, dried her hands, and found she received a message on the Kwai app. Seeing it was from Jiang Ning, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, feeling moved.

But upon seeing the content of the message clearly, she suddenly felt very uneasy.

She had given Jiang Ning too low a price for the black carp, selling a hundred catties at once, she’d lose two to three hundred yuan!

That’s two to three hundred! How can a high school student have that much money? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Shen Qing’e replied bitterly: "The fish business isn’t doing well, it went bankrupt."

Jiang Ning: "That’s even better, surely there are leftover fishes in your pond, why not sell them to me at a lower price."

Shen Qing’e: "..."

Meanwhile, her sister Shen Hongdie in a stylish dress, holding a handbag, and with Mercedes Benz car keys in hand, asked: "Qing E, are you sick? You don’t look well."

Shen Qing’e hurriedly said: "I’m fine."

"Then accompany me to fly a kite."

"Okay."

Brother Li from AAA Aquatic Products didn’t reply back.

Jiang Ning chuckled lightly, knowing the other party must have withdrawn, he anticipated the next AAA.

Putting away his phone, Jiang Ning pushed open the door, calling out: "Tongtong, wake up."

Tongtong hugged the blanket tightly, rolled over, with her soft Hello Kitty pajamas tangled around her.

Jiang Ning deliberately said: "There’s a scrap collector outside, I sold the cans on the table."

Tongtong immediately woke up in shock: "Don’t sell my cans!"

Jiang Ning clapped his hands: "Already sold them."

She was startled, jumped out of bed, and cried out sadly: "There’s 200 yuan in my cans!"

Her gaze swept around and found the cola can quietly lying there.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ning picked up the can, sneered: "Secretly hiding money, huh?"

He pried open the can, taking out two hundred-yuan bills rolled into strips.

Xue Yuantong felt suffocated.

After Jiang Ning took the money, he commanded: "Come, go into town to sell fish with me."

Xue Yuantong protested to the world: "You go ahead, I’m not going! I’m not selling fish!"

Jiang Ning: "Even if I give you fifty yuan in wages, you’re not going?"

"Yes, I’ll go."

Jiang Ning: "Then why act all tough just now?"

Xue Yuantong: "I was just putting on a show."

After gaining her help, Jiang Ning left the small bedroom, since Tongtong was preparing to change clothes, he wouldn’t invade her privacy.

He went to the door to enjoy the sun, noticing Mr. Qian had put up a small cage filled with yellow chicks.

"Whoa, are you raising chickens now, did you consult Xiao Ben?" Jiang Ning chuckled.

While free-range chickens taste delicious, raising them is too troublesome, those who’ve done it know how dirty chickens can be.

Mr. Qian smirked, seemingly indifferent: "I specially brought in these chicks, planning to sell them at the river dam."

Jiang Ning: "Wishing you speedy success."

Mr. Qian fanned himself, affectionately admiring the chicks, feeling like they were his own children.

Only when Tongtong got ready did Jiang Ning ride an electric bicycle with her into town, they were prepared to set off, when Yin Yu approached on an electric bike from the rural tourism direction.

Her lips were glistening with oil, even without using Divine Sense, Jiang Ning knew she’d been at Boss Yang’s having lamb soup.

Along with Yin Yu on the electric bike was a young girl who curiously sized up the two of them.

Even though Yin Yu had witnessed Jiang Ning’s strength in the small garden, she didn’t know about Jiang Ning’s family background.

The mischievous Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui hadn’t told her any of this.

Thinking of Jiang Ning’s living conditions, Yin Yu figured fighting was useless, could they beat the police?

She gently brushed her eyebrows and smiled sweetly: "Jiang Ning, where are you headed?"

Xue Yuantong thought: ’What a cunning woman!’

Jiang Ning said: "Going to acquire stock, setting up a stall this afternoon to make money."

Xue Yuantong sighed: "Life is tough!"

Seeing this, Yin Yu’s smile became even sweeter; she subtly said: "To earn money, you have to give up something, for example, fish can be of lower quality."

Xue Yuantong pinched her fingers: "Today we’re switching to dead fish."

Yin Yu’s expression froze for a moment; she had just started tantalizing, yet Xue Yuantong directly went for a big move.

Yin Yu probed: "That’s not very good, is it?"

Jiang Ning: "I guarantee the taste is good, come and try it this afternoon, no purchase limit this time."

Yin Yu forced a smile: "I’ll definitely come visit."

Immediately, she rode her electric bike away, while Jiang Ning set off too, riding up to the steep slope in front of the river dam.

The slope was quite steep, and Yin Yu prepared to let the girl come down.

But beside her, Jiang Ning twisted the throttle, and rushed up, his titanium gray electric bike gracefully went up the asphalt road of the river dam.

Yin Yu, not wanting to lose face, tried to mimic him and also twisted the throttle.

Yet, halfway up, the electric bike suddenly lost power and directly rolled back down, Yin Yu frantically jumped off the bike, falling into the roadside grass.

Jiang Ning released the Magic Formation: ’Like to show off?’

Yin Yu stood up from the grass, then raised her head and met Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong’s gazes from atop the dam.

Yin Yu took a deep breath, for a moment, she found herself at a loss for words.

...

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, look quickly, wedding cars!"

Xue Yuantong pointed at a line of wedding cars driving past beside them.

The location of the river dam, though remote, serves as a shortcut, often seeing vehicles passing by, especially many wedding cars recently.

"Hmm, I see them." Jiang Ning said, but he found these ceremonies mundane.

In the Real World, the most impressive wedding he had witnessed was in a past life, at the temple fair, where a majestic horse led a bride in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Tongtong sat on the electric bike, watching the wedding cars depart.

She giggled: "Back in the village, I loved when people got married, I could get lots of wedding candy."

Jiang Ning understood the custom, at candy-throwing time, villagers rushed in a frenzy to snatch the sweets.

Tongtong bragged with a straight face: "Let me tell you, I was super skilled then, always snagging tons of candy!"

Using Divine Sense, Jiang Ning scanned her small frame, almost laughing out loud: "You, yourself, are like a gummy bear, yet you grabbed candy? Aren’t you afraid of being squashed?"

Xue Yuantong became furious, pounding Jiang Ning with her tiny fists.

"Left, uh-huh, a bit to the right." Jiang Ning directed.

Xue Yuantong pulled out the keys from home and lightly jabbed Jiang Ning’s back: "Here’s one on your left!"

Jiang Ning: "Sorry, my heart is on the right."

Xue Yuantong jabbed once more to the right: "Huh! See if you drop dead now!"

Jiang Ning coldly said: "Sorry, no impact, not hurt at all."

Xue Yuantong was shocked: "Impossible!!"

Jiang Ning: "Sorry, because my heart’s in my mouth."

Xue Yuantong was speechless for a while, then burst into laughter, eyes wide with a grin: "Jiang Ning, you’re such a nerve!"
