Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1714: Resources

Yu Ze’s idea, to be honest, wasn’t bad. Now that he had a purpose in life, he couldn’t stay as disillusioned as he used to be. For the family and friends who loved him, he’d start little by little, from being just a baby. After all, his goal was already in motion from this very moment.

“Then why, when I have so many people, have I never seen you ask for any of them?” Nangong Beiying looked at the little rascal with a puzzled expression.

“Because those are people you nurtured through your hard work; they’re useful to you. I’m nowhere near your scale, and wouldn’t it be a waste of your resources if I took them? So I just thought I’d find a few random ones to play around with slowly.” Yu Ze wasn’t claiming he could achieve anything big right now, and he certainly had no intention of wasting Nangong Beiying’s top-tier assets. That would just be disgraceful.

“You little guy actually understand the concept of resources, huh? It seems like you’ve really done your homework. But are you sure you’re really going to accomplish anything with all this?” It wasn’t that Nangong Beiying didn’t believe in him; it was just hard to imagine how much thought a little over one-year-old could possibly have.

There were, of course, plenty of prodigies in this world, but prodigies like Yu Ze were extremely rare. If he wandered out like this, someone would probably kidnap him—just thinking about it was unsettling.

Maybe she could assign a few people to act as their bodyguards, secretly protecting them from the shadows. Once they grew up a bit, they could revisit the plans. Thinking of this, Nangong Beiying felt that once she got back, she could have Feng handle the arrangements. She trusted Feng’s judgment; anyone he selected would be someone she could rely on.

Once she decided on it, Nangong Beiying set the plan in motion. Some things didn’t need to be discussed with Qin Xue in advance; she could just notify her when the time came. After all, this was for the children’s safety—Qin Xue wouldn’t object.

Nangong Beiying knew Qin Xue quite well. Before, she hadn’t thought too much about these things, but now she felt it necessary. With all of Chu Molin’s enemies, situations like today’s could very well happen again in the future. So, when she informed Qin Xue, she not only wouldn’t oppose but would probably thank her for it, too.

As a godmother, she was doing more and thinking farther ahead than Qin Xue, the actual mother. If Qin Xue dared to have any objections, then she truly wouldn’t know what was good for her.

“Godmother, I can’t guarantee that I’ll accomplish anything right now. I just want to work hard in this direction. No matter what, as long as I start putting in effort now, when I grow up, even if I don’t achieve much, at least I’ll have gained some experience, right?” Yu Ze wouldn’t dare discuss too much about himself with them; he could only share bits and pieces in an indirect way.

After all, even though his experiences were somewhat similar to theirs, they weren’t entirely the same. They had gone through spirit transfers, while he had reincarnated with his memories intact. Even if he wanted to talk about it, it would have to wait until later; if he said anything now, he feared it would scare them. It was best to keep it secret for the time being.

Qin Xue, on the other hand, had no idea that her son had arrived in this world in such a state. To her, he was just her son, nothing more. But if anyone dared to come after them with malicious intent, they better not blame her for being ruthless and merciless.

Qin Xue had also learned to get to where she was one step at a time. Time, after all, was the best teacher.

Chu Molin watched as his son and Nangong Beiying chatted about future plans. He wanted to remind them that it felt a bit early to be discussing such matters—shouldn’t they focus on solving the issues at hand first?

But seeing how entertained his wife was as she listened, he decided to let them carry on. As long as she wasn’t annoyed, he didn’t have much to say about it.

He wondered how Ye Xuan’s side was doing. If they managed to wrap things up, they could head back. Otherwise, if more people came looking for them, it’d be hard for Gao Shenbin and Bighead to handle things here. With that thought, Chu Molin felt like they should really address the more immediate problems before worrying about anything else.
