For the past two days, Shen Nanyi had been constantly thinking about how to complete the task. With the deadline of the task looming—only one day left—she began to feel increasingly anxious.
She could, of course, simply go to the street and give money to strangers, but she didn't want to complete the task in such a way.
The money she had earned with hard work, giving it away for free made Shen Nanyi feel uncomfortable.
Maybe she wouldn't have minded when she was rich before, but now Shen Nanyi needed a large amount of funds to complete the tasks assigned by the system. Spending money for nothing seemed like a bad deal to her.
As it was almost afternoon and there were only a little over four hours left until the task's completion time, Shen Nanyi couldn't wait any longer. She wanted Zhao Fang to take her out for a stroll in the hopes of getting lucky.
After a few days of getting along, Zhao Fang doted on Shen Nanyi, a child of the younger generation, and was completely obedient to her.
The moment Shen Nanyi looked towards the door, Zhao Fang immediately understood. She put Shen Nanyi in the stroller and they went out.
Outside the community was a well - landscaped park. Every afternoon, Zhao Fang would take Shen Nanyi there for a walk, and today was no exception.
There was a man squatting at the entrance, looking around as if he was searching for something. The passers - by were in a hurry. At most, they slowed down and took a second look, but no one stopped.
It seemed that the man had been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw Zhao Fang coming out, he rushed towards her.
A man suddenly rushing over, Zhao Fang instinctively protected Shen Nanyi, thinking he was going to snatch the child, and was about to call for the security guard.
"Auntie, it's me!"
Before Zhao Fang could say a word, the man showed his white teeth. His dark skin was a bit scary in the evening light.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. After taking a closer look, Zhao Fang finally recognized who it was.
"Sun Qiang? What are you doing here?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Zhao Fang was a bit stunned. She wondered how someone from the village had found this place.
She had heard from Sun Qiang's family before that he was working in City A, but she never expected to run into him so soon.
If it were an ordinary person, she would surely be happy, but Sun Qiang had bad habits. He was a die - hard son - preference advocate at a young age and was also disrespectful to his parents. Zhao Fang really didn't have a good impression of him.
"Auntie, you live here now? It's really nice."
Looking around the community, Sun Qiang showed envious and, more importantly, excited looks.
He had only heard that Zhao Fang's children had made it big and had taken her here, but he didn't expect them to be so rich.
"...The house is rented by my child."
After all, they were from the same village. Even though she didn't like him, Zhao Fang didn't show it. However, she still remained on guard and didn't reveal the truth.
Shen Nanyi in the stroller looked at Sun Qiang and didn't like him at first sight. She averted her gaze and looked to the side.
"This child is really cute. It's a pity she's a girl."
Sun Qiang also looked at Shen Nanyi. His words immediately made Shen Nanyi's face turn sour.
In this day and age, there were still people with such a strong son - preference?
"You've been in the city for so long. Why haven't you changed your old - fashioned ideas? What's wrong with having a daughter? Now men and women are equal!"
Before Shen Nanyi could say anything, Zhao Fang was already unhappy. Her granddaughter was a treasure, and no one could say a single bad word about her.
"Yes, yes, yes, Auntie. I'm here to ask you for a favor. We're all from the same village. You'll surely help me, right?"
Nodding, Sun Qiang's agreement seemed a bit absent - minded. Thinking of his purpose, he just followed Zhao Fang's words.
He had barely said a few words before starting to morally blackmail them. Shen Nanyi had even less of a good impression of Sun Qiang.
