CHAPTER 618: CHAPTER 251: SYSTEM CALLS ME TO SAVE THE DAY (PART 8)_3

Little Sister Qiao, however, wasn’t scared. As a younger sister-in-law and still a child, even if she argued with her sister-in-law, outsiders would at most say she was a little ignorant, but her sister-in-law certainly wouldn’t fare well either.

"What can’t accommodate a younger sister," "too domineering"...

Faced with Little Sister Qiao’s self-righteous threats, He Tiantian simply opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Go! Hurry up and go!"

"If you think it’s not lively enough at the door, you can also go to the courtyard, go to the brigade headquarters!"

"Oh, right, when you tell people how malicious your sister-in-law is, please return the coat I gave you, the sneakers, and backpack I bought for you!"

"And well, your tuition, seems like it was also paid by me—"

Little Sister Qiao’s firecracker temper instantly fizzled out.

What’s called being soft-spoken because of someone’s kindness, and having short hands because of someone’s generosity?

He Tiantian stubbornly focused on this point and managed to leave the entire Qiao Family speechless.

Especially Qiao Zhenbang, who not only had to face He Tiantian’s unreasonable harassment but also the family’s accusatory or pleading gazes.

Sob, even playing cards and drinking lost their charm.

Even Mrs. Qiao, who adored him the most, nagged several times a day, "Elder son, you can’t mess around anymore, think of a way to make some money quickly, and shut Jiao Jiao’s mouth first!"

In fact, even if not for the daughter-in-law’s sake, the Qiao Family also needed an income.

He Tiantian refused to be the sucker yet still fancied delicious food and fine clothes.

The money and items Mrs. Qiao painstakingly scrounged from "Jiao Jiao" had all been demanded by He Tiantian.

The little private savings and the household’s chickens, ducks, cured meat, and eggs that Mrs. Qiao finally scraped together had almost all been squandered by He Tiantian.

If Qiao Zhenbang continued to idle around doing nothing, just as before, the family would soon face the chilling winds of the Northwest.

Qiao Zhenbang:...

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to revert from luxury to frugality.

Qiao Zhenbang, who had enjoyed a life where food came to his mouth and clothes to his hand without lifting a finger and only needed to indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, truly struggled to work hard.

Not to mention, although Qiao Zhenbang didn’t quite believe in all those notions in his mind anymore, those visions were too wealthy, too splendid.

Every time he thought of himself as the wealthiest man, being able to live in luxury and command authority, Qiao Zhenbang found it impossible to face his current life.

However, the stuff in his mind was imaginary, and life had to go on.

Seeing He Tiantian ruling over the Qiao Family every day, listening constantly to the complaints and disdain of his parents and siblings, Qiao Zhenbang finally couldn’t sit still.

Damn it, just about making money, he might not necessarily become the wealthiest man, but he would become a promising person for sure.

Even without those "dream" warnings, Qiao Zhenbang had supported the family through buying and selling in the past.

If need be, he would just go back to his old trade.

Qiao Zhenbang, based on past experience and some business principles he learned "in his dream," began his ventures.

Only, it wasn’t smooth sailing from the start.

After all, policies weren’t relaxed now, and all dealings had to be done covertly.

And Qiao Zhenbang, influenced by the "memories from the dreams," always felt like an important figure and couldn’t manage to be as cautious as those businessmen.

"Hmph, skulking around like what exactly?"

He traded fairly, didn’t steal or deceive, so why act servile, sneaking around?

It was only after a close call at the black market in town, when he nearly got caught and fled in a panic, sweated coldly, that he realized he was a bit too aloof.

"I’ve said it several times, don’t believe those things in your brain, it’s all a dream! A dream!"

Hiding in a corner, bedraggled and panting, Qiao Zhenbang couldn’t hold back and smacked his own head hard a few times.

"Jiao Jiao’s" torn face had already made him immensely regretful, feeling like he shouldn’t have trusted so-called past lives too much.

The scare today, almost being caught, had frightened Qiao Zhenbang so much that his soul almost flew away.

He grew even more conscious that he really couldn’t be influenced by the things in his mind anymore.

But, asking him to completely disbelieve, he still hesitated—

Those images were too real, as if he had experienced them himself.

And the idea of being the wealthiest man, enjoying glory and riches, was too delightful, Qiao Zhenbang subconsciously affirmed it as his own fate.

"Should I, test it again?"

Holding onto a stroke of luck, Qiao Zhenbang steadied his breath, straightened his clothes, and turned out of the alleyway.

Coincidentally, as he passed a restaurant, he saw a dark, plump woman dining inside.

Eh? Isn’t that the health worker from their town?

Qiao Zhenbang didn’t know this woman, to be exact, he didn’t know her in reality.

But, in Qiao Zhenbang’s head, there was a snippet of her.

Perhaps, he could use her situation for an experiment.

Qiao Zhenbang thought to himself...
