Chapter 352： Unreasonable demands

"What is this place?" Su Ningxi looked at the people around her. She believed that Lu Nan brought her here for a reason, but she was just a little curious about how the imperial capital could be such a shabby place.

"North District is also a famous slum in the imperial capital. Be careful not to fall when you step on it." Lu Nan put his arms around Su Ningxi's waist and brought her into his arms. He approached her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, " This place will be developed in another year at most.”

 Lu Nan didn’t say more, but Su Ningxi understood that the value of these seemingly messy places would soon double.

No, it’s not just doubling, these crooked mud houses in front of them that have long been abandoned will soon be replaced by at least three or four houses in the imperial capital.

Su Ningxi’s eyes shone and she looked at Lu Nan excitedly, so he brought her to buy a house, wasn’t he? Didn’t he say he came to watch a show?

"I've contacted a few sellers for you. You can take a look at it then. If you're still satisfied, you can buy a few houses."

He looked at her with a smile, his eyes clearly showing her shrewdness at a glance, "Buying a house is the next step, what we want to do now is watch the show."

“Whose show are you watching?”

Su Ningxi had already asked this question several times when she came here, and Lu Nan’s answer from beginning to end was consistent, “You’ll know when we get there.”

“It’s mysterious.” Su Ningxi pouted and did not continue to ask.

Lu Nan led her through several dilapidated alleys and came to an earthen house. The door was open. Lu Nan knocked on the door twice symbolically and led Su Ningxi into the yard.

Zhou Tong, Lei Zi and a man came out of the house. Su Ningxi had met this man in the army half a year ago. Lu Nan introduced him as He Dong. Like Zhou Tong and Lei Zi, he was Lu Nan's brother through life and death.

“Sister-in-law.” Zhou Tong and Lei Zi greeted Sun Ningxi almost at the same time.

He Dong looked at Su Ningxi in shock for a long time before saying, "My sister-in-law has been to our army before."

The sister-in-law I met at that time was not like this.

No, could it be that their boss raised one outside behind his sister-in-law's back?

However, my sister-in-law's father is Chief Su, so the boss is not afraid of the consequences of the incident.

He Dong's expression kept changing. Not to mention the three people who knew him, even Su Ningxi could easily tell what he was thinking.

Zhou Tong reached out and patted He Dong's head. "What are you thinking about? There is no doubt about the boss's loyalty to his sister-in-law. My sister-in-law gained weight because of raising children before, but now she has lost weight."

He Dong touched his head and took a closer look. It seemed that the facial features were still the same. It seemed that he had just lost weight. He smiled awkwardly, "So my sister-in-law is so beautiful."

"You don't want your eyes anymore?" Lu Nan glanced at He Dong with a warning look on his face. It seemed that if He Dong dared to stare at his wife, he would gouge out He Dong's eyes.

"Boss, I definitely don't dare to have other thoughts about my sister-in-law. I just didn't accept that my sister-in-law suddenly became different." He Dong didn't dare to continue staring at Su Ningxi, and quickly took it back. "Boss, sister-in-law, please come in."

This house looks quite old, and the furniture is all dilapidated, but it is cleaned very well, and it looks like a tidy person.

"Sister-in-law, I don't have tea at home, so I can only drink some boiled water." After sitting down, He Dong brought two enamel cups that were already peeling off and placed them in front of Lu Nan and Suningxi, before adding, "Sister-in-law." Don't worry, although the cups look a little old, they are all clean. I just boiled them with boiling water. "Thank you." Su Ningxi smiled at He Dong and took a sip of water. She wasn't very thirsty, but He Dong had said so. If she didn't drink the water, it would feel like she was despising him.

"You're welcome."

“Let’s go first.” Lu Nan pointed to the empty seat next to Lei Zi.

He Dong behaves obediently.

A few people looked at me, then I looked at you, and finally they all focused on Lu Nan.

Lu Nan glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "Watch what I do. You can't tell me what you want to do."

Lei Zi scratched his head, glanced at Lu Nan a little embarrassed, and then looked at Su Ningxi, "Sister-in-law, actually I came here today to ask if I can open a food factory with you. I know this request is quite unnecessary. Damn it, my sister-in-law’s food factory is already doing well and does not require our investment at all. I am just being encouraged by my family and want to find a wife, but my family’s conditions are..."

The more Lei Zi spoke, the less confident he became, and his voice became softer and softer. Finally, he lowered his head and did not dare to go to Su Ningxi again.

He Dong scratched his head and his voice was very low. If it weren't for the few people in the room and no one else talking, no one would be able to hear what he was saying. "I overheard Lei Zi and the boss talking about this, so I asked him to I want to do some business with my sister-in-law. I... In addition to my parents, I have two younger siblings. My mother has uremia and has a lot of money to spend. My father has to take care of my mother and younger siblings, so he can’t go too far. I work somewhere else, and I can only earn ten yuan a month by sweeping floors on the street..."

He Dong was a little speechless after saying this. He lowered his head for a long time before saying, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to take advantage of you. I just want to... I just want to make some money with you to maintain the life of the family."

Lu Nan put his arm around her waist, approached him and said softly, "When they find me, I can only agree to let them talk to you. You don't have to worry about whether I agree with you or not. Just make your own decision."

She brought everyone here, and she still had the nerve to say that she didn’t have to worry about him. If he really didn’t want to help them, he would have refused when they made a request instead of throwing the ball to her.

She knew that Lu Nan didn't mean well. He just wanted to help a group of comrades who had been through life and death with him within his own ability.

People who have never served in the military cannot understand the friendship between comrades. Even if Su Ningxi is a military wife, she cannot understand why those who can block bullets and sacrifice for their comrades do so.

What she can understand is that Lu Nan cares about these comrades and wants to help them.

She is not a bad person, and she will not lend a helping hand to others for no reason, but as long as it is something he wants to do, she will support him unconditionally.

The anger in the main room was so quiet that Zhou Tong was on pins and needles. He wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but felt that he did not have that position, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Lei Zi and He Dong knew how shameful their behavior was, but they had no choice but to make such a request. At this moment, they didn't know what to say, so they could only lower their heads in shame and say nothing.

"The food factory is on the right track. Even if it wants to develop, the factory has fixed development funds. In addition, the food factory does not belong to me alone. I really have no way to let you join in."

"No, it's okay. Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed." Lei Zi smiled awkwardly. It was because they were asking too much.
