Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 153 - 149 He’s Not Stupid

Madam Rong recounted the recent events when her daughter inquired.

Rong Yan was somewhat surprised by the details... these were things she didn’t know about.

After a moment of thought, she said, "There’s something fishy about this, and besides, why did Old Man Qin not demand it back for such a long time, but now he does? Don’t tell me it’s because you’ve come..."

Madam Rong’s thoughts matched her daughter’s.

"So what is it really about?"

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow and scoffed coldly, "It’s very likely that someone came looking for it, so he remembered it. His purpose was to get back the Redwood Box, hence, it’s very likely that the box is crucial and might be evidence of kinship."

Rong Wenming nodded, quite pleased, "My Yanyan has indeed grown up; even her mind has become much sharper."

Upon hearing this, Rong Yan’s forehead creased with a line of imaginary black lines, ’What do you mean I’ve grown up... and become smarter?’

"Dad, I’ve always been smart."

Even if she hadn’t tested it, her IQ was very high.

Rong Wenming’s gaze was tender, full of doting affection, "Yes, yes, yes, you’ve always been smart, smart from a young age, even smarter now..."

Rong Yan: ...

Madam Rong watched the father and daughter shamelessly bragging... one really dared to boast, the other really dared to praise.

"Not embarrassed, nor afraid others will laugh."

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, "Mom, you’re wrong there. What I’m saying is simply the truth. Why would that be laughable? Do you think I’m stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Rong nearly rolled her eyes. If you were smart, you wouldn’t have let Rong Manman scheme you all the way here.

"...I’m not going to argue with you anymore; I’m going to cook. I’ll make something delicious for you tonight."

Thinking about the rich dinner, she didn’t stop for a second.

These days, words are empty; filling the belly is what truly matters. If they could have some meat and fish every few days, those would be the best days.

Rong Yan turned to her father, seeing his complexion looking a bit off, she then said, "Dad, I’ll help you into the house to rest."

"I’m fine..." Rong Wenming started to say he felt quite alright.

But Rong Yan interrupted him, "Your complexion doesn’t look too good, and your body is still weak. You shouldn’t stand too long. Let’s go! I’ll help you inside. Tomorrow, I’ll have to change your medication, and mom’s medicinal soup you must eat well, it will help you recover faster. In less than three months, you’ll be running and jumping."

Rong Wenming:... ?

Running and jumping? That’s really not necessary; he’s quite old.

All he wanted was to be healthy enough to walk without gasping and do some things within his ability. That would be enough for him.

Otherwise, burdening his wife and daughter like this, he would be nothing but a burden while alive.

Rong Yan helped her father enter his room.

She also checked his pulse while there; it wasn’t too bad.

"Dad, actually, I have Qin Ye’s Redwood Box."

Rong Wenming:...

He was a bit shocked, "Didn’t Qin Ye say he sold it? How is it with you?"

"Oh, he gave it to me before I came home, claiming it as a family heirloom." Rong Yan replied. She had seen the wood box but never opened it. She had kept this very small box in her space; it was not large.

Rong Wenming:...

It seemed his son-in-law was indeed not that rigid type after all.

He liked such a person, those too honest and rigid... tended to be at a disadvantage.

"Since he gave it to you, keep it well. When Qin Ye returns, you should let him examine it... There is definitely something special about this wood box, you both should research it a bit, maybe it hides information about his grandmother’s background..."

Rong Yan nodded, "I understand, when he returns I’ll let him check it himself."

"Alright, you go do your thing, I’m fine here." He was so weak now mainly due to traveling by train these past days, but with good rest over the next couple of days, he reckoned his body would adjust quite a lot better.

"Okay, then you rest for a bit! I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner." Rong Yan finished speaking and then walked out.

She had just reached the main hall when she saw Qin Mei with a worried expression. "What’s wrong? Worried about your brother?"

Seeing her, Qin Mei felt as though she found her backbone.

She ran up to Rong Yan and looked up, shouting: "Sister-in-law!"

As if with her around, all unease instantly disappeared without a trace.

Rong Yan touched her head with a bit of pity.

"Don’t worry about your big brother. He’s quite capable! Today I can’t prepare the medicine for you, but starting tomorrow, I’ll concoct some for you again. Eat it well to improve your health. Also, keep studying hard because in a few days, I’ll send you and your brother to school."

How could she not go to school at this age?

Qin Mei was somewhat resistant to going to school; she didn’t like crowded places, but she knew that her sister-in-law greatly wished for her and her second brother to attend school, so she gritted her teeth and nodded her head.

"...Okay."

"Good girl, here, have some candy to sweeten up." Rong Yan pulled out a milk candy from her pocket and gave it to her.

By now, she truly considered Qin Yu and Qin Mei as her family.

In her past life, she was an only child with no siblings or meddlesome relatives, so she cherished having someone cute and obedient catch her eye.

Thus, encountering someone pleasing to the eye in this life was quite significant; at least before, she had never cherished anyone so much.

This pair of siblings ignited all the sympathy in her heart.

Qin Mei held the candy, her smile involuntarily rising; her sister-in-law was truly kind. She hoped to always be with her.

"It’s cold outside, stay here while I go out and look around." After saying this, Rong Yan walked outside.

Just then, Qin Ye returned.

When Qin Ye saw his wife, his steps quickened, and he quickly reached Rong Yan, "Wife..."

Rong Yan looked at him, "Have you taken care of it?"

Qin Ye nodded, taking out the hand-written severance document again, "It’s all written, and I even had the team leader, the village accountant, and Uncle Seven press their fingerprints."

Rong Yan glanced over it, "It’s quite rigorously written; you can tell the team leader wrote it."

After looking at it, she was about to give the paper back to him, but Qin Ye pushed it back to her, "Wife, you’re in charge of the house; keep these, and here’s another twenty yuan..."

He handed her the twenty yuan obtained from Old Man Qin.

Rong Yan looked at the dirty one and two yuan notes... where had he been hiding this money?

Her mouth twitched a bit, not really wanting to take it.

"Keep the money... it might come in handy if you go to town to buy things during this period."
