"Don't, Battalion Commander Yang, just give it a try; it's really delicious!"
"Li Nian, don't come looking for me anymore. I'm not interested in dating, let alone marriage. Don't waste your time on me!"
"But Battalion Commander Yang, I really like you. Is it because of Xue Lan that you won't accept me? You two aren't really getting engaged, are you?"
Li Nian was a nurse at the military hospital, and her interactions with people were limited. In her eyes, Yang Qinghe was the most outstanding and handsome man she had ever seen.
As for Li Nian herself, she was a romantic at heart. Seeing such a man like Yang Qinghe, she certainly couldn't let him go easily. Besides, she wasn't lacking in qualities herself; she was beautiful and wanted to fight for her chance. Moreover, her aunt had said that Yang Qinghe had an unlimited future ahead of him. If she could marry him, her life would surely be filled with blessings.
"Yes, we are indeed getting engaged, so don't come looking for me again!"
An engagement was out of the question; Yang Qinghe was trying to find ways to delay it as much as possible. For now, he wanted to resolve one issue at a time and didn't want to waste his energy on people who were unimportant to him.
Even if they were getting engaged, so what? They weren't married yet! Besides, what did Xue Lan have? She had such a bad temper and wasn't as pretty as Li Nian.
"But I don't think you're that pretty!"
In his heart, no woman could compare to his Xiao Yu.
"You!"
Li Nian suddenly stood frozen in place. Was she not pretty? Since childhood, she had been praised by neighbors and friends for her beauty.
Watching Yang Qinghe's retreating figure made Li Nian stomp her feet in frustration.
No matter how unpretty I am, I'm still better than that tomboy Xue Lan! Yang Qinghe, do you have a problem with your eyesight?
Li Nian's self-esteem took a severe hit; she couldn't hold back any longer. Clutching her lunchbox, she ran away crying, drawing the attention of many passersby.
These days, Wang Jianjun and Wang Zhaoran were being well taken care of by their family; the two big men seemed like they were in confinement after childbirth and had gained quite a bit of weight over time.
Wang Heng had been sent by Wang Zhaoran to keep an eye on the Supply and Marketing office in town. This kid was dutiful everywhere he went but felt like he just didn't match well with them. If it weren't for his eldest son this time, he wouldn't have gotten injured at all.
However, the child was acting out of filial piety and was eager to help, so he did not expose the situation. Recently, Yu Suihuan had been running back and forth between home and the hospital, busy enough as it was. Now that both of them were stable, she found herself with some free time and recalled what Wang Heng had told her about the Japanese Army's supply depot and the ancient tomb.
It seemed a waste to leave those items buried in the mountains, so she thought to take some time to retrieve everything and store it in her space. She could sell some of it, which would prevent resources from going to waste.
On a sunny day when she happened to have a break, Yu Suihuan gathered her courage and took a few large dogs with her to head up the mountain again. According to Wang Heng, any unsavory items had already been removed, so even if something unexpected happened, she could still bring it into her space.
Steeling herself at the cave entrance, Yu Suihuan pushed forward. Just as Wang Heng had said, this was indeed a Japanese Army warehouse, and there were quite a few supplies inside. After collecting everything into her space, she also took all the jewelry and antiques from the burial chamber without leaving a single piece behind.
Later on, when she went back to retrieve her share from the burial chamber, it had all turned into cash. Wang Zhaoran's share was exchanged for fifty thousand yuan. In this era, that was quite a substantial amount of income.
