Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1806 - 993: Rare Explosive Private Photo_2

A young man with a greasy complexion vociferously demanded, "Raise it! Let it be raised! It's far too little; I say each portion should be priced at 300!"

Xue Yuantong retorted, "For you alone, you can only afford a small portion at 300 bucks?"

The young man offered no further words.

'Hmph! What's the use of just making noise?' Xue Yuantong calmly sprinkled sesame seeds while a crowd of customers remained hesitant to speak.

In stark contrast, Ni Ni's sushi stall finally attracted a customer. She served with a warm smile, but the patron departed after a mere tasting.

An Chan intended to speak but hesitated, saying, "Ni Ni, you..."

Ni Ni also expressed her weariness, "Teaching at school is exhausting, and even setting up this stall is draining."

An Chan found common ground, stating, "It's the same in my class!"

Ni Ni continued, "In my class, there's a student named Huang Xing; he's such a mischievous child, skipping class to play CF at the internet cafe, and he's merely a primary school student!"

"I invited his parents for a discussion, only for a construction worker to come, bowing his head and asking me to help manage him..."

The two women soon delved into conversations about their teaching experiences.

An Chan remarked, "It's quite amusing; when I left school today, the security guard mentioned I looked just like a teacher. I suspect he was mocking me."

"After being a teacher for so long, it's difficult to retain the lively and cheerful demeanor I once had."

An Chan added emphatically, "Exactly, it's tiresome and stressful."

Xue Yuantong finished selling a pot of fried fish, and her sales instantly doubled, signifying a corresponding increase in her disposable income.

She was brimming with joy, but upon overhearing Teacher An Chan's fatigue, Xue Yuantong cheerfully exclaimed, "But teacher, you shine brilliantly on the stage!"

Teacher An Chan beamed with delight at this compliment.

Even Ni Ni, standing nearby, felt a surge of warmth; what a considerate student!

Xue Yuantong cast a glance at Jiang Ning, thinking, 'Such subtle actions, yet so deeply heartfelt!'

Jiang Ning offered her a thumbs-up in response.

An Chan's happiness was short-lived as she suddenly realized something amiss: "Don't you sleep through your classes? How could you possibly know that I shine brightly?"

Xue Yuantong froze, realizing she had just improvised!

Then, Jiang Ning, standing beside her, calmly interjected, "Because you shine so brilliantly, she dares not look directly."

...

Night descended.

Jiang Ning packed up and headed home, while Tongtong, carrying a box of handmade sushi, began her calculations:

"One hundred pounds of grass carp, deducting some for fish loss, and adding back a bit of short weight with my skills, I sold a total of 65 large portions. The first 15 pounds were charity sales, earning 450 bucks, and the other 50 pounds were normal sales, bringing in 3000 bucks. Total revenue: 3450 yuan!"

"The fish cost 500, 5 barrels of oil were 280 bucks, plus packaging and gas costs around 50 bucks. The profit is a whopping 2620!"

Having finished her tally, Tongtong gasped in astonishment! This profit was unbelievable!

Even if Dongdong toiled as a laborer for ten days, he couldn't earn this much!

"Jiang Ning, when Dongdong arrives for summer break, we'll have him help with killing and selling fish, and Xingxing can assist too. We can casually rake in money every day!" Xue Yuantong was already planning.

Jiang Ning simply replied, "Okay."

"It's a pity there are too few troublemakers in our building; only Dongdong. Otherwise, I'd really strike it rich?" Xue Yuantong was lost in a daydream of wealth.

Not long after Xue Yuantong arrived home, Aunt Gu also returned, bringing some packed dishes from her company. She called Chuchu to join her for a meal at the doorway.

The field under the night sky was hazy. In the past, when she was alone at home, Xue Yuantong used to imagine ghosts lurking in the mist, but now, it appeared exceptionally beautiful.

"Mom, who, who earned 2620 bucks today?" Xue Yuantong stood on a stool, holding up two fingers.

"It turns out it's the honorable Comrade Xue Yuantong!" She held up two chopsticks, mimicking playing a musical instrument.

Jiang Ning applauded her, saying, "Amazing."

Xue Chuchu quietly continued eating her meal.

Aunt Gu took a closer look at her daughter, her expression changing slightly.

Tongtong asked, "What do you mean?"

Aunt Gu replied, "I'm afraid you haven't quite woken up yet."

Tongtong felt it was time to showcase her capabilities and gave Jiang Ning a knowing look.

Jiang Ning then stated, "She indeed earned over two thousand..."

Aunt Gu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this; over two thousand... that was nearly her monthly salary.

Tongtong whispered conspiratorially, "Mom, you're so useless; the family has to depend on me now."

She then mimicked her mother's tone, "Mom pedaled the sewing machine today and made 100 yuan. Tongtong, you take it and use it first; Mom is old and can't do it anymore."

Aunt Gu felt a slight internal jolt but maintained her composure externally, calmly retorting, "I assisted the company in closing a major business deal today, earning a commission that's almost enough to buy a car. Your little earnings are nothing compared to that?"

Xue Yuantong exclaimed, "Mom, you aren’t secretly a mercenary behind my back, are you still young and sharp?"

Aunt Gu playfully grabbed and twisted her little ear.

Tongtong received a light spanking and became more obedient.

Xue Chuchu, silently eating her meal, felt a pang of envy for such a warm family atmosphere. In her own home, such a feeling had never existed; it seemed that ever since her father passed away, the colors had drained from her family life.

...

Later that night.

Tongtong was in front of the computer, engaged in a voice-chatting dual-queue session with Shang Caiwei.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning stood in the small courtyard, his gaze fixed upon his meticulously crafted ecological fish tank. Under the soft illumination, the miniature ecosystem within the tank appeared perfect, with lake stones, lush green plants, and aquatic flora thriving vibrantly.

This aquarium setup was a thoughtful creation by Brother Liu from AAA Building Materials, who had even ingeniously arranged a gentle stream to enhance the ecological tank.

One couldn't deny that Brother Liu from AAA Building Materials was indeed quite capable.

After admiring the scene for a while, Jiang Ning, feeling satisfied, returned to the bedroom and settled onto the sofa.

Tongtong had her legs propped up on her wide gaming chair, looking remarkably comfortable. This sight made Jiang Ning muse that being a bit shorter had its own set of advantages.

"Jiang Ning, pour me a glass of water," she commanded.

Jiang Ning poured a glass of water, then picked up an electronic lighter. With a swift 'snap,' he pressed it against her fair little feet, startling her from head to toe.

Tongtong trembled with indignation, "Jiang Ning, you’re outrageous!"

Jiang Ning retorted, "I’m helping you zap mosquitoes."

As he spoke, he made a motion as if to grab Tongtong.

Tongtong immediately curled up, assuming a defensive posture.

"Too strong, can’t get you at all!" Jiang Ning praised playfully.

"Hmph." She continued, engrossed in her game.

At the same time.

In the urban district, the Chen Family Sisters, whom Xue Yuantong had earlier criticized for their weak gaming skills, were lounging on the sofa, watching television.

Mrs. Chen glanced at her daughters, her face etched with disdain. "Can’t even play LOL properly; might as well let me play instead."

Chen Siyu inquired, "Mom, you play games too?"

Mrs. Chen replied, "Back in the day, I used to play CS with your dad. He couldn’t even get out of the base because of me."

Terrified, Chen Siyu fled to the bedroom to escape, coincidentally receiving a message from Jiang Ning.

She suddenly recalled Bai Yuxia. Yesterday, she had intended to play a prank on Yuxia but had completely forgotten amidst the day's events.

The saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the second-best time is now.

Without further hesitation, Chen Siyu sent a message: "Hello, Yuxia, can’t sleep, really miss that."

Concurrently, in the home practice room.

Bai Yuxia, clad in form-fitting attire, was diligently working on her body's flexibility. She sat in a perfect split posture on a yoga mat, her hands holding the pose steady. Her sharp chin was raised, showcasing a beautiful, elegant swan neck.

Her nearby phone chimed with a QQ message. Without rising from her position, she glanced at the message's content.

She knew instantly that it must be Chen Siyu trying to joke around.

Chen Siyu likely wanted to imply she was sleepy or hungry, but Bai Yuxia was not easily fooled.

She persisted with her exercises, preparing for the upcoming opening ceremony of the sports meet finals.

Seeing that Yuxia wasn't falling for her bait, Chen Siyu reluctantly decided to deploy her ultimate weapon!

Chen Siyu typed: "Yuxia, do you want to see Jiang Ning’s little turtle, exclusive private photo (red crosses, red crosses, red crosses)?"

Bai Yuxia immediately got up and retrieved her mobile phone. "You have it?"

Chen Siyu replied, "Would I ever deceive you?"

Bai Yuxia answered, "Not good, I’m dancing right now."

Chen Siyu insisted, "Just take a quick peek, let you have a look."

"Don’t peek."

Chen Siyu countered, "Then should I send it to someone else?"

"I think it’s not good to spread such photos."

Ultimately, Bai Yuxia relented and agreed.

Chen Siyu promptly selected the photo to send.

Bai Yuxia closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again.

Revealed before her was a beautiful aquarium, with a small turtle leisurely climbing onto a rock.

Bai Yuxia responded with a silent ellipsis: "..."

Chen Siyu quipped, "Prejudice in people’s hearts is like Huangshan mountain."
