I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 62 It’s not easy
discharge!

Only after the doctors insisted that the procedures be completed did Ms. Li Manjing take her daughter onto the bus bound for Jiyang City.

She was actually trying to extort money from the hospital...

Fortunately, the doctors in Pingjiang always adhered to the principle of "saving oneself before saving others," which prevented Ms. Li Manjing, who was obsessed with money, from succeeding.

As for the mother and daughter's belongings, they only had two or three boxes of stuff, which fit in the trunk.

On the way, through his conversation with Li Manjing, Zhang Daxiang roughly learned about the cause and effect, the grudges and affections, and in short, how much Li Manjing lost... was actually just a restaurant called "Manjinglou".

The establishment of "Manjinglou" was mainly due to the Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant on the banks of the Xiyu Canal, which is now owned by an energy company.

Li Manjing's lover, Qiao Yuanshan, was parachuted into the technical department of a coal mine in Hedong Road. He later served as workshop director and deputy factory director. During his time as deputy factory director, Li Manjing successfully slept with Qiao Yuanshan.

After that, things went very smoothly, and twenty years ago she gave birth to Li Jiaqing for Qiao Yuanshan. At that time, Qiao Yuanshan already had a first wife, but unfortunately, his first wife was not fertile and could not get pregnant for a long time. This made Qiao Yuanshan, who had his first child, especially dote on Li Jiaqing.

The house that Li Jiaqing took Wang Yulu to stay in before was actually a housing unit built by the Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant. Moreover, it was not an ordinary housing unit with a tower plate structure, but a high-standard new residential community.

This demonstrates that Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant is indeed a formidable force. But those in the know understand that what's even more remarkable is that Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant can obtain a continuous supply of coal from a certain place.

Qiao Yuanshan is that "certain place" and that "continuous source", so although he is not from Pingjiang City, he has a wide network of connections.

However, things in this world are hard to predict. Eleven years ago, Qiao Yuanshan's first wife gave birth to a son, which made Qiao Yuanshan, who was from his hometown of Hedong Road, overjoyed. His retired father even rewarded his daughter-in-law with ten houses to celebrate the Qiao family having an heir.

The ten houses symbolize perfection and span the ten most important cities in the north and south of the country.

Pingjiang City is one of them.

At Old Master Qiao's urging, the collectively funded housing unit at the Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant was officially handed over to his daughter-in-law, and of course, to Qiao's eldest grandson as well.

Qiao Yuanshan was also incredibly clever; he kept it a secret from Li Manjing for ten years...

A few days ago, the original wife played a heart-pounding adventure for Qiao Yuanshan. She suddenly appeared in Pingjiang, then suddenly appeared at the door of the house, and then, together with the police, drove away Li Manjing and Li Jiaqing, who were "illegally occupying" the property.

During the incident, there was a slight shoving, and Ms. Li Manjing accidentally hit her face hard against her husband's palm, resulting in several soft tissue contusions. She was eventually hospitalized, and after being hospitalized, she became increasingly angry and took her daughter to take "Dream Rejuvenation Pills".

The story behind it left Zhang Daxiang in awe.

These days, even being a mistress requires a lot of vigilance.

Neither is easy.

The battle of wits and courage has reached this point, and the relationship is so complicated that Zhang Daxiang is speechless.

Isn't this more exciting than the TV dramas that Sister Yu watches every day?

There are service areas on the highway from Pingjiang back to Jiyang. Wang Yulu and Li Jiaqing switched seats. Yulu sat in the back mainly to discuss in detail with Ms. Li Manjing some of the benefits and treatment her daughter would receive after marrying into the family.

"Auntie, in our Zhang family ancestral hall, we allocated a plot of land for each of the nine grandfathers of the older generation to build nine small buildings, each with three floors and a total area of ​​about three or four hundred square meters. When you marry into the family, you can choose one to live in. You can choose whichever one you like. The property rights are complete. Once you have completed the household registration transfer, it will be your own house."

"Really?!"

Ms. Li Manjing's eyes lit up. Wouldn't such a big villa feel too spacious to live in?
Although Jiyang is a small place, it is not a poor and remote area. It is a bit far from Pingjiang, after all, it takes more than an hour to drive there.

But as long as the house is big enough, none of this matters.

After all, she doesn't even have a place to live right now.

"And that 600,000..."

“This is where I live after I got married; it has nothing to do with the dowry.”

"Okay, okay, okay, okay..."

Nodding repeatedly, Ms. Li Manjing felt that this was a worthwhile investment.

I wasn't really keen on sending my daughter to Jindu Normal School in Hedong Road, it was too far. But Qiao Yuanshan's hometown is Jindu, and I thought the Qiao family could help out, so I chose Jindu Normal School. Now, it turns out it was a good choice after all, a real turn of events.

If I hadn't gone to Jindu Normal University, how would I have met Wang Yulu?
If I hadn't met Wang Yulu, how would I have met Sang Yuke, my cousin?
It's all fate!

"Auntie, according to the older generation in the family, after a woman marries into this family, she becomes the great-granddaughter of Second Grandfather Qi Shen. Her great-grandchildren are registered under Second Grandfather's lineage and will continue his family line. In the future, the cooking and ancestral worship on the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar) will be handled by our family..."

"It should, it should..."

After listening to Sang Yuke's clear and detailed explanation, Li Manjing had long since let go of that most insignificant resentment.

After all, she herself had been a mistress for over twenty years, so if possible, she certainly wouldn't want her daughter to inherit her mother's business.

But circumstances are beyond our control.

Zhang Daxiang did not explain clearly at the time, in the hospital ward.

Now that she hears it's not about being a mistress or a concubine, Li Manjing feels it's a huge win, not a loss at all.

If it were someone else, they'd probably give you 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in cash, maybe some jewelry, and that would be it.

If we insist on saying we're buying a house in Pingjiang, it won't be registered solely in our daughter's name.

She felt her daughter wasn't worth 600,000 yuan; that was all based on market economy principles. After all, she had run "Manjinglou" for so many years and was an honest businesswoman...

However, it's unrealistic to give her 600,000 right now; the plan needs to be optimized.

Previously, the plan was to take back "Manjinglou".

It seems that it's no longer possible; the "Manjing Building" has been 100% taken away by the creditors.

But I still couldn't swallow this anger.

As they continued on their journey, they talked about Zhang Daxiang's business. When Sang Yuke mentioned "Zhang Family Canteen" and "Shizipo," Li Manjing's eyes lit up.

Li Manjing, who also runs a catering business, is not only good at making money from the Beiqiao Coal Washing Plant. She has some skills to make "Manjing Building" worth more than one million yuan.

"That fast food restaurant... already has a branch?"

"We plan to open another branch after the Chinese New Year, probably in Dongmen."

"Hey, Keke, now that my Qingqing is married into the family, am I considered a relative by marriage, right?"

"Does Auntie want to become a branch manager or something?"

“I’m not opening branches. What would I do with branches? I already have my own brand, ‘Manjinglou,’ which is quite famous in Beiqiao and Xiyu Canal. But that’s not what we’re talking about now. I heard you mention ‘Shizipo’ and ‘Zhang’s Canteen,’ which can provide dine-in service in bulk, right?”

"Yep."

"Okay, how about this? After Qingqing gets married, I'll open a new restaurant in Pingjiang in Qingqing's name. But for the more popular dine-in customers, we'll get wholesale from the Zhang family. That way, whatever we earn, it's all Qingqing's. I'll just be helping Qingqing out, working for my daughter like a mother, and consider it an early retirement..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Sister Yu's mind wasn't quick enough, her cousin's mind was still blank, and the numb double-ponytail Li Jiaqing was so angry that her chest was expanding, but she held back.

As for Zhang Daxiang, he glanced at the twin ponytails next to him and thought he was just an ordinary character with increased attack speed. But as Sister Yu said, he turned out to be a hidden gem.
