My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 66 - 3 Shen Chi = M
66: Chapter 3: Shen Chi = M?
66 -3: Shen Chi = M?
“Do you have anything else to say?” Seeing Wei Qiang take back the large cell phone and stay seated, Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.
Wei Qiang touched his nose, “Well, Yao Qian asked me to ask if you have gotten a marriage certificate when you married?”
The sentence Shen Chi shouted excitedly after answering the phone back then, “I have a son now!” had completely exposed his married status.
Although there had been rumors before, without his confirmation, some people still held onto some fantasies.
Yao Qian, mentioned by him, was a member of the Cultural Troupe, a pretty girl who had liked Shen Chi for several years.
Even though she had been rejected when she confessed, she didn’t give up, taking into account her younger age and the fact that Shen Chi had never been attached.
“Isn’t that a pointless question?” Shen Chi curled his lips, “If I didn’t legally occupy, could I rest assured?”
Wei Qiang thought about it, that made sense.
Shen Chi might look flashy, but he had several infuriating bad habits in private; possessiveness was definitely a major one.
Yao Qian should finally give up now, right?
But…
“Now that you’ve been promoted, you can apply for your family to join the military, do you want your wife to come over?”
Shen Chi didn’t even respond this time, just gave him a cold look.
Wei Qiang said helplessly, “What I mean is, if your wife comes over, she might be troubled by the other female soldiers.”
Indeed, the “fat water” of the military had flowed into the field of an “outsider”; would this “outsider” face hostility?
Shen Chi’s expression paused for a moment, but he didn’t show the distress Wei Qiang expected, and simply said, “Whether I’ll still be here by then is another matter.”
Wei Qiang knew this person never spoke without reason, and was immediately alarmed, “You’re transferring?!”
“Otherwise, would I let my son stay in this godforsaken place?” Shen Chi looked disgusted. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The place wasn’t bad, after all, it was a tourist destination, but their troop’s location was not far from the deep mountains.
Could it be that his son would attend that informal private school?
With his ability and his wife’s intelligence, how could his son be any less capable?
Wouldn’t that be wasting his talent?
Wei Qiang’s face became blank at the thought.
Indeed, most of the soldiers who stayed were young.
First, because the training was intensive, and secondly, to transfer to places with better educational quality for their children.
Only a few older soldiers came after their children were grown.
If he was married, he would definitely consider transferring as well.
These days, being a college graduate was the most glorious achievement, and anyone with a bit of sense placed importance on their children’s education.
“Alright then, let’s talk about this later, I won’t disturb your rest anymore.” Wei Qiang looked at the time, stood up, and took his leave.
Lin Xiaoguai carried her son out of the room and saw both grandpa and grandma wearing joyful expressions.
“What’s going on?” she asked, puzzled.
Luo Yufang approached to play with her great-grandson, laughing, “Chi called and said he’d be back in a while.”
Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback, then smiled, “That’s good news.” But that was all she said, her expression not showing excitement.
Luo Yufang’s face remained joyful, but inside she sighed.
If this young couple could truly live in harmony, she would be able to rest easy.
Little Niangao, feeling ignored by both great-grandma and grandpa, became unhappy.
He grabbed Lin Xiaoguai’s hair and pulled hard, causing her to wince in pain and almost stumble to the ground.
Luo Yufang was startled and quickly reached out to steady her, laughing with a hint of irritation, “You naughty boy, taking advantage of your mother’s good temper and bullying her.”
Little Niangao didn’t understand what she was saying but knew it was fun, bouncing up and down in Lin Xiaoguai’s arms, almost too much for her to hold.
“The kid is really strong,” Shen Zhangming chuckled from the side.
Seeing his increasing excitement, Lin Xiaoguai quickly sat down and pulled out a Rubik’s cube for him to play with.
Little Niangao didn’t understand the rules of the game; he just liked the myriad of colors that appeared when the cube was twisted.
After two-and-a-half days, Shen Xiu walked out of the exam hall, and the family finally felt the heavy burden lift off their shoulders.
Many kids had fainted in the past two days due to the intense stress.
“Sis-in-law, I think I did well on the exam.
Everyone said the last math problem was difficult, but I solved it, though I don’t know if it was correct.” When she got home, Shen Xiu wrote down the questions she remembered and her answers to show Lin Xiaoguai.
“You did it correctly,” Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.
Although Xiu’er didn’t have much talent for studying, her sciences were surprisingly much better than her humanities, which was rare among girls.
“By the way, my brother’s coming back.
You should make some clothes for him,” Shen Xiu cuddled her hand and playfully said.
All the family’s clothes were now made by Lin Xiaoguai, except for Shen Chi, the husband who should have had this privilege originally.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoguai paused, then smiled, “Okay, do you have your brother’s measurements?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll get them for you.”
Watching Shen Xiu leave, bouncing and jumping, Lin Xiaoguai sighed.
She understood what Xiu’er meant, and she knew she couldn’t continue like this.
Little Niangao needed her dad, so she was bound to be entangled with that man for life.
Her own mindset needed to change.
She was determined to capture that man’s heart just like she did in her past life, only…
Lin Xiaoguai felt somewhat at a loss.
In her past life, besides making trouble with Shen Chi, giving him the cold shoulder, showing him attitude, and provoking him with her words, what else had she done?
She was a bit skeptical.
Could it be that Shen Chi was actually an M?
Shen Chi was unaware of his wife’s silent criticism.
He packed up his change of clothes and, leaning on his crutches, left the hospital without a pause and went straight back to the dormitory.
“Shen Chi, you’re back.” Yang Wanjun, holding a basin of dirty clothes he had brought back from the bathhouse, saw him approaching with a surprised and delighted expression.
“Back from the bathhouse?” Shen Chi walked shoulder to shoulder with him.
Yang Wanjun nodded.
“I’m really not as young as I once was.
Today, I was almost tricked by those little brats.”
“Speaking of which, I haven’t congratulated you on your meteoric rise.” His tone held no trace of jealousy, just pure joy for his friend’s success.
“It’s all been earned with blood and sweat,” Shen Chi responded indifferently.
The smile on Yang Wanjun’s face faded slightly.
Once they reached the second floor, he threw his dirty clothes into his room, locked the door, and went next door to Shen Chi’s.
“I’ve got something to tell you: Yu Lun that bastard has been disciplined, and this time Qin Chenggong can’t save him.
Just wait and see.
Even if he’s not stripped of military status, he’ll be demoted for sure,” Yang Wanjun said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Despite his name, which suggested some sophistication, more so than Wei Qiang’s, he was really just a rough man who acted before thinking.
“Did Chen Han do it?” Shen Chi’s eyes conveyed understanding.
“How did you know?” Yang Wanjun asked, surprised.
Shen Chi just smiled without answering.
Yu Lun was Qin Chenggong’s lapdog, in charge of logistics and equipment, and having been involved in a previous shitty situation, it was easy to guess who actually carried it out.
Chen Han was always meticulous and had long been on guard against Yu Lun.
No matter how carefully Yu Lun covered his tracks, Chen Han would spot his slip-ups afterward.
Moreover, being sharp and calculating, Chen Han likely took this opportunity to strike when he was sure to succeed.
Yang Wanjun, well aware of his own cunning nature, didn’t press for an answer and changed the subject.
“Chen Han mentioned you might be transferred soon.
Is that true?”
“What do you think?”
Yang Wanjun took it as an affirmation and continued, “If you leave, what fun would there be for our group?”
Despite Shen Chi’s cultured appearance, he knew how to have a good time better than anyone; importantly, the fun he sought also made money.
If it weren’t for him pulling strings for them, their families would probably struggle to get by.
“I almost forgot about that,” Shen Chi said, sitting upright.
“While I’m still here, let’s all withdraw from Liu Lao’s deal.”
“Why?” Yang Wanjun’s face showed reluctance.
The business with Liu Lao was profitable, and though he had put in the least amount of money initially, he was now making a hundred or so each month.
His aging parents and younger siblings were reliant on that money for marriage expenses.
“Are you dumb?” Shen Chi scolded, exasperated.
“Let me ask you, has the dividend you’ve received in the months I’ve been gone remained unchanged?”
Yang Wanjun nodded.
“But isn’t it supposed to be entering a stable phase now?”
“Bullshit!” Shen Chi swore openly.
“It’s been less than a year, how can any industry reach its stable phase so quickly?
They’re fooling you, and you’ve fallen for it.”
“This transport business is just getting started.
When would it be in decline?”
Out of all their brothers, there were smart ones like Wei Qiang and Chen Han, but as for those who had a natural talent for business, no one could match him.
“Does Liu Lao dare to deceive me?” Yang Wanjun was instantly angry.
“You’re easy to deceive,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.
“You’re not angry?” Yang Wanjun was astonished.
Among them, Shen Chi, despite his impeccable appearance, was far from good-natured.
His mind was more petty than a needlepoint.
Shen Chi chuckled, “Why would I be angry?
He hasn’t shortchanged me.” Even though he was petty, he knew the rules.
The moment Liu Lao heard he was back, he’d dutifully returned the money, leaving Shen Chi with no reason to be upset.
“So, he’s been tricking us all along?” Yang Wanjun’s face showed conflict but he still hesitated.
“Now that you’re fine, he shouldn’t dare to cheat us out of our money.
It’s an income higher than our salaries, without it, my meager wages can’t support the whole family.”
Shen Chi was speechless.
“Why do you think I spent my vacation working at Liu Lao’s place instead of resting?”
“That’s because…” you’re bored, right?
Yang Wanjun didn’t dare finish the sentence under Shen Chi’s gaze.
Shen Chi shook his head and sighed.
“Liu Lao is anything but honest.
Transport work can’t be done without connections.
Small, trivial profits aside, how could I rest easy with such a large investment without looking after it?”
“Now that I’m leaving, I can’t supervise from afar, and I can’t just leave those shares untouched.”
“With your limited business acumen, you’re not even enough for Liu Lao to toy with one of his fingers.
While I’m here, Liu Lao will likely sell at a good price out of respect for me.
It’s better than losing everything in the end.”
