“Hey, you two know that’s not what I meant!”
After saying that, she looked at Sze Lingyun with a gossipy expression. “Big Sis Sze, if your house is demolished, how much will you be able to exchange for it? How many houses can you buy back?”
“I don’t know.”
“C’mon, tell me! I’m just curious. Many people say that getting one’s house demolished can earn one a fortune. I just want to know how much you’ll be worth in the future.”
Sze Lingyun could not help but laugh. “It’s impossible to earn a fortune overnight. But I really don’t know how we’ll be compensated. My mother and the others say that since I’ll be married off in the future, I don’t have to worry about the demolition. They won’t tell me anything about it.”
Wu Pingting’s mouth opened slightly. She was shocked for a long time before she said, “Your parents are too much, aren’t they? Especially your mother! Are girls not human too? She’s a woman herself. What right does she have to look down on girls?”
Sze Lingyun looked at Wu Pingting, who was angrily venting. She did not say anything and just looked out the window.
“Ah, ah, ah, Big Sis Sze, aren’t you angry about this too? How can you be so calm? Just listening to you tell me about it makes me so angry that I feel like I’m going to die!”
Sze Lingyun looked out of the window and said, “I’m not angry anymore. I used to get angry, yes. When I was young, I was angry about how my parents and my brother could sit at the table and eat while I was like a servant. Ever since I was young, I’ve done all the cleaning and cooking in the house, yet they never let me sit at the table. I used to argue with my parents about it. But after being beaten up countless times, I knew that nothing I said would be able to change their minds. If I wanted to give myself a better life, I could only rely on myself.”
Sze Lingyun looked at Wu Pingting and smiled. “And I’ve succeeded now. I’ve been admitted to the Military Medical Hospital on my own merits. In the future, I’ll be a respected military doctor, treating the illnesses and injuries of soldiers fighting on the front lines. I’ll see my family less and less. In the future, I’ll start a family of my own and have my own children. And I’ll make sure my children won’t have a childhood that’s tragic like mine. That’s enough for me.”
Wu Pingting was moved by Sze Lingyun’s words. She nodded, “Big Sis Sze, you’re right. No matter how much misfortune we’ve encountered in the past, we always have a chance at a better future. As long as we work hard, we’ll definitely be able to live a good and exciting life.”
“Yes!” Sze Lingyun nodded with a smile.
Nangong Nuannuan smiled and glanced at the two girls in the backseat. She felt that they were right.
One could only rely on oneself in life. As long as one had the heart and was willing to work hard, no matter how hard some days were, there was always light at the end of the tunnel.
Suddenly, Nuannuan’s hand was grasped by a large, warm hand.
Nuannuan looked at Chi Yang, and he looked back at her, his eyes filled with heartache and love.
Nuannuan knew that he was worried about her having been kidnapped and sold to the base to become a mercenary when she was young.
She squeezed Chi Yang’s hand softly.
She never complained about her previous life. After all, it was because of her past life that she was so confident and powerful now. If she had been born into the Nangong family from the very beginning, even though she would have had a very happy and comfortable life for the first 14 years of her life, she would definitely not be the person she was today. If she were to encounter an enemy like Viper in that scenario, she would have been helpless.
Therefore, her past experiences were pretty useful to her.
Sze Lingyun’s family home was in the innermost area of the suburbs…
