Chapter 1133: Looting People Brought the Most Money

Ning Shu went to the Western cake shop to buy Zhu Siyuan a little cake. Today was his third birthday. Soon, he should start attending school.

She just hoped that she could arrange everything for him properly before she had to head to the battlefield.

In reality, Ning Shu wanted to keep Zhu Siyuan with her, but she was going to be a military doctor that was going to travel with the army. Problems would easily occur if she brought a child like Zhu Siyuan with her.

When the environment was too harsh, it was easy for children to fall sick.

Fortunately, right now they were only training reserve military doctors so they wouldnt send her to the battlefield that soon. There were still a couple years until Chinas War of Resistance against j.a.pan began.

She still had quite some time to stay by Zhu Siyuans side.

She was destined to go to the battlefield. She had already signed the contract. If she changed her mind, shed probably end up with a rather tragic fate.

In chaotic times, human lives were the most worthless. Ning Shus greatest wish was to keep herself and Zhu Siyuan safe, and while at it, raise Zhu Siyuan to be a good young man and make sure that he didnt become a good-for-nothing rich boy.

When they got back home, Ning Shu put the candles on the cake and said to Zhu Siyuan, Siyuan, make a wish to the cake.

Whats a wish? Zhu Siyuan was confused.

Ning Shu said, Siyuan, what do you want the most?

Siyuan wants to always be with Mom, said Zhu Siyuan.

Aaaah, these words were so touching.

Ning Shu and Zhu Siyuan blew out the candles, then cut the cake. This pair of mother and son then ate the little cake together.

After was.h.i.+ng Zhu Siyuans face, hands, and feet, she tucked him into bed and told him a little story. When she saw that he had drifted off to sleep, she rubbed his head while inwardly sighing.

Zhu Siyuan was a child that had been neglected by both his parents. It went without saying for his father. They had met, but they hadnt even recognized each other. Zhu Yanqiu didnt know anything about Zhu Siyuan.

Meanwhile, Zhu Suniang was always working all day and night to earn money, so it was inevitable that Zhu Siyuan was neglected. The reason his personality had ended up like that in the end was because he was depressed. The reason why he had opposed his father like that, it couldnt be denied, was because some part of his heart harbored hope.

He was a child that lacked love.

Once Zhu Siyuan was deep asleep, Ning Shu took out Zhu Yanqius things from within the bag. There was a wool sweater and his school uniform, the thousand silver dollar watch as well as a fountain pen.

Ning Shu saw that this fountain pen also had very good craftsmans.h.i.+p. There were even words carved onto it. There were the characters Yanqiu. Ning Shu took a dagger and scratched out the name.

Afterwards, she looked at Zhu Yanqius uniform and found that his name was embroidered in the inside of the collar. She grabbed a needle and pick out the threads. The clothes were slightly dirty, so she washed them.

Once the clothes dried, she wrapped everything up and brought them to a p.a.w.nshop. She was planning to p.a.w.n off these things.

The watch that had originally cost a thousand silver dollars could now only be p.a.w.ned for five hundred silver dollars, so Ning Shu couldnt accept it. This watch still looked mostly new. In the end, she haggled until the price reached six hundred fifty silver dollars, then took the deal.

The fountain pen and clothes only went for about ten silver dollars, but that was already pretty good.

As expected, looting people brought the most money. Zhu Yanqiu had pretty much emptied out the Zhu family to buy these things.

After obtaining almost 600 silver dollars, Ning Shu felt that she also counted as a very wealthy person now. Since she had money, she started stocking up on food again.

In this era, the price of commodities was very unstable. She had no desire to have this money end up worthless so she bought another house with the money as well as some uncultivated land. Uncultivated land was very cheap. Although Shanghai was already flouris.h.i.+ng, there were still some places that hadnt been developed yet.

When she recalled the gut-wrenching house prices of the future, she started h.o.a.rding land. However, she only dared to buy small pieces that were very far away from the current prosperous lands. Still, it wasnt like she could afford large pieces of land anyways.

After the task was complete, she would leave this world. She hoped that Zhu Suniang and Zhu Siyuan would be able to have easier lives after she left.

After partic.i.p.ating in the training, she headed to the hospital to start her intern work. Zhu Yanqiu who she had beaten to being within an inch of death had been brought to the hospital.

As Ning Shu looked at his pig-like face, she could only say that calamities lived to last ages. The moment she had decided to kill Zhu Yanqiu, police had shown up.
