After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

Chapter 114 Discussing Subsequent Developments

"Auntie, please don't get so agitated. Anything is possible," Ruan Haohao said reassuringly.

Qiao Zhensheng put his arm around his wife Ding Lan's shoulder and gently comforted her, "It will definitely happen, don't worry! Let's go write the letter first, we can talk about the rest later. Hao'er is still waiting for our reply!"

Ding Lan composed herself and smiled at Ruan Haohao, saying, "Haohao! I'll need your help to pass this on later."

Ruan Haohao waved his hand and said, "Uncle and Aunt, please don't be so polite. It's fate that Tinghao and Mumu were able to meet in another world, and it's also fate that we got to know each other."

I'll go in and talk to my sister first. You two write back first; if there's enough time, you might be able to exchange letters a few more times today.

After saying that, Ruan Haohao disappeared from their sight again.

Zhang Ping was quite excited after receiving the spiritual spring water from Ruan Wanfu. He was overjoyed at the thought that his wife would be able to live a healthy life like a normal person.

He carefully handed the spiritual spring water to Lei Chunyan, watched her drink it, and then helped her to the guest room so she could rest.

At this moment, Lei Chunyan's complexion looked much rosier, and her mental state was much better. However, even though the spiritual spring water had special effects, it still needed a little time to heal, after all, Lei Chunyan's illness had dragged on for so many years.

Meanwhile, when Ruan Haohao reappeared in the living room of the space, he was surprised to find that the living room was empty, without a single person in sight.

He frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind. Just then, a faint, cheerful laugh drifted over from a room on the second floor not far away.

Ruan Haohao composed himself and didn't immediately go upstairs. Instead, he stood still and shouted loudly towards the second floor, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, Mumu, come down and chat!"

His voice echoed in the empty living room, carrying a hint of urgency and anticipation.

Not long after, Ruan Wanfu came downstairs with steady steps, carrying a wooden box that exuded an antique feel.

Following closely behind him were his grandmother, Zhang Yufang, Ruan Senmu, and several others.

Their faces were beaming with joy, indicating that they had just had a very pleasant conversation up there.

Ruan Haohao quickly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the mysterious box.

He asked curiously, "Dad, what's in this box?"

Ruan Wanfu smiled slightly, patted the box gently, and said, "Inside are gold ingots and some jewelry from over there. Mumu said that we can decide how to handle them ourselves."

Whether you keep it as a souvenir or sell it for money, it's all up to Mumu to handle the exchange.

Ruan Wanfu placed the box on the table, and Ruan Haohao stepped forward and opened it.

When they saw the glittering gold ingot, their expressions of surprise were the same as when the others had seen it downstairs.

Seeing Ruan Haohao's surprised expression, Ruan Mumu smiled and said, "Big brother, you've prepared so many supplies for me these past few days, it must have cost you a lot. Consider this as your initial investment."

"I'll need your help in the future, big brother. You must continue to support me financially!" After saying that, she handed the wooden box to Ruan Haohao, her eyes filled with trust and expectation.

"Mumu, it seems like you're going to use up the feminine hygiene products your sister-in-law and I prepared for you very quickly, isn't it?" Zhang Yufang asked quietly.

"Mom, I took it over there as merchandise. You prepared so much, I could use it all even when I'm fifty," Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

Then he turned to Ruan Haohao and said, "Brother, could you help me order some women's daily necessities later? Like sanitary napkins, underwear, etc. If it's inconvenient for you, you can ask Mom and sister-in-law to help."

Ruan Haohao nodded and wrote it down in his notebook.

"By the way, Mumu! You need to take good care of yourself over there, especially regarding your finances. You should keep some money for yourself. By the way, we auctioned off that jade pendant from last time!"

"It actually sold for a full fifty million! I never expected it to fetch such a large sum at auction. So you don't need to worry about money anymore. The proceeds from the jade pendant auction could buy so many supplies!" Ruan Haohao excitedly shared this with Ruan Mumu.

After all, it was my sister who brought that jade pendant back to them, so we have to let her know what happened next.

"Mumu, in my opinion, we will supply you with all kinds of supplies here from now on. When you get there, you can resell them and exchange them for some more valuable items."

In this way, not only can we earn more money in modern society, but we can also sell these modern products at better prices in ancient times! Ruan Wanfu then shared his insights.

This seasoned businessman, who has spent half his life navigating the business world, naturally understands the ins and outs and opportunities, which is why he came up with such a unique idea.

"Dad, you really are a seasoned businessman! Brother, you should learn a lot from Dad." Ruan Mumu said to Ruan Haohao with a smile.

Ruan Haohao looked at his younger sister and said, "Dad certainly has a discerning eye. Now, let's ask our respected Mr. Ruan for some guidance."

Ruan Mumu also looked at Ruan Wanfu with anticipation.

The old lady and Zhang Yufang looked at the three of them with a serious expression, as if they were about to start a meeting. The two of them went to the kitchen to prepare some more fruit.

"Mumu, do you know any powerful or influential people over there? To open up sales channels, you need to find partners," Ruan Wanfu reminded him.

Ruan Mumu tentatively asked, "Does knowing the magistrate's daughter count?"

“Of course it counts! The county magistrate is a local official, so his daughter is a second-generation official.” Ruan Haohao said from the side.

“But in ancient times, the social hierarchy of ‘scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants’ placed merchants at the very bottom. The county magistrate would never allow his daughter to do business with me,” Ruan Mumu said, somewhat dejected.

It turns out that Ruan Mumu had also considered bringing the magistrate's daughter along, but considering the status of merchants in ancient times, she could only think about it.

"Alas, although I know a prince, he is currently being hunted down and is hiding under an assumed name near me!" Ruan Mumu sighed.

Seeing his sister's dejected look, Ruan Haohao laughed and said, "Don't worry, a prince will always have his day!"

"Alright! Mumu, come and eat some fruit. We can talk about your business later. Come and chat with your grandma." Zhang Yufang came out with a plate of fruit, smiling and waving to Ruan Mumu.

"You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look. Tinghao's parents should have almost finished writing their letter." After saying that, Ruan Haohao flashed out of the space.

"Mumu, is there anything you want? If there's anything you want, tell Mom and Mom will buy it for you." Zhang Yufang looked at her daughter with affection.

Ruan Mumu was thirteen years old, just like when she was in junior high school. Zhang Yufang felt a pang of heartache looking at the little child.

Ruan Mumu initially wanted to refuse, but then she suddenly thought of the dolls in her room and said, "Mom, you've bought me so many nice things."

Oh, and please get me some cute plush toys later! I think the rich girls over there won't be able to resist them, haha, they'll definitely sell well.

It's not just that women in ancient times couldn't resist dolls; many women today can't either.

Ruan Mumu felt a surge of joy at the thought of money flowing into her pockets.

"Mumu, your family back home should be doing well now, right?" Grandma patted Ruan Mumu's little head affectionately.

Feeling the warmth in her heart as her grandmother patted her head, Ruan Mumu held her grandmother's hand tightly and said, "Grandma, I'm doing well over there."

“Isn’t there going to be a war? Even though it’s the age of cold weapons, you must not let your guard down.” Zhang Yufang was also very worried about this.

"Mom, you've forgotten, I have a spatial dimension. If we really encounter danger, even if I can't hide inside myself, that gold-devouring beast will still have to save me!"

"If it doesn't save me, it will disappear with me." Ruan Mumu comforted the two with a smile.

"Mumu, your older brother prepared a lot of bulletproof vests for you last time. You must wear them at all times, just in case," Ruan Wanfu reminded him from the side.

Ruan Mumu nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Dad, winter is coming soon, could you please prepare some winter clothes for me?"

Down jackets are too expensive, but cotton-padded coats will do; they'll be just what's needed in the barracks.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Wanfu asked in surprise, "Can you really do business in the military camp?"

"I forgot to tell you, an old man who claimed to be Tinghao's master appeared. He said that Tinghao's identity is the youngest son of General Qiao Feng of the Western Garrison."

He's the son of the great general who guards the border near us, but Tinghao has no memory of him yet. Let's wait and see if he can recover his martial arts skills." Ruan Mumu explained Qiao Tinghao's situation.

Ruan Haohao suddenly appeared, and seeing everyone chatting happily, asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Mumu was telling us to prepare a batch of winter clothes. It was really hard to get through winter in ancient times without winter clothes," Ruan Wanfu said, referring to their earlier conversation.

“No problem, leave this to me!” After saying that, Ruan Haohao handed the letter written by Qiao Zhensheng and Ding Lan to Ruan Mumu and urged her to deliver it to Qiao Tinghao as soon as possible.

Ruan Mumu accepted the letter without ceremony and immediately disappeared into the space.

"Girl, I've finally waited for you." Qiao Tinghao seemed to have been waiting for Ruan Mumu to appear.

Upon seeing her appear, he rushed forward, excitedly looking at the letter in her hand.

"Here you go. You must have been waiting impatiently, right?" Ruan Mumu smiled at him.

Qiao Tinghao held the letter and looked at her tenderly: "It seems you really are my lucky charm! If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to see my parents' letters again."

It's even less likely that I'll get any news from them, nor can I tell them that I'm still alive.

Ruan Mumu deliberately ignored the affection in his eyes; after all, they were still young.

"I just told my family to prepare a batch of winter clothes. Winter is coming soon, and the soldiers must keep warm to get through the winter smoothly."

"You can take this opportunity to return to the military camp. It will be the best time for you to go back. Even if you have no memory, your general father will definitely accept you quickly." Ruan Mumu recounted her conversation with her family.

Hearing her say that, Qiao Tinghao felt a warmth in his heart. It was as if this girl had thought of everything for him. Just as his master had said, she was truly his lucky star.

"Alright, this is a rare opportunity, hurry up and read and reply to the letter. I'll come out to collect it in a bit." After saying that, Ruan Mumu disappeared again, leaving Qiao Tinghao looking at the letter with excitement.

Thinking about what Ruan Mumu had just said about preparing a batch of military winter clothes, he wondered if his father, who worked at the police station, might be able to find connections to buy some military overcoats.

Thinking about the impending war, it would be best if his father could help him get a batch of bulletproof vests and weapons.

A military overcoat might not be too complicated, but when you think about bulletproof vests and weapons, it's a bit of a challenge for my dad.

But let's write and ask first! We have to try as long as there's even a sliver of hope.

So he got right to it and immediately started writing letters.

After Ruan Mumu entered the space, Ruan Wanfu and Ruan Haohao had already discussed how to help Ruan Mumu complete the task she had assigned.

"Brother, you must have spent a lot of money renting such a big warehouse last time, right?"

When the Purple Fairy told me, I glanced at the area and was really taken aback. But you've thought of everything, and you've prepared everything perfectly.

"Thank you all, thank you for not giving up on me." After saying this, Ruan Mumu gave each of them a hug.

When it was Ruan Haohao's turn, he couldn't help but pat Ruan Mumu's head tenderly, "Silly girl, we already feel so guilty that we can't stay by your side and protect you every day."

After a moment of sadness, Ruan Mumu suddenly remembered what her family had mentioned about Qiao Tinghao's father working at the police station.

"Brother, ask Uncle Qiao later if he knows any military units or leaders, and see if he can help us get some weapons. If an enemy country really attacks my village, everyone will be destroyed."

Ruan Mumu felt uneasy about not having a weapon to defend herself, so she decided to ask her older brother to inquire, just to try her luck, in case the person actually knew her.

Ruan Haohao left the space as his sister instructed, and at the same time asked Qiao Zhensheng about the questions his sister had mentioned.

“I do know such a person. He came to our area to assist with a case before, but I’m not sure if he will help us.”

"We exchanged WeChat contacts because we were working together, and I'll check with him right away," Qiao Zhensheng said, picking up his phone and sending the message.

The other party replied to him very quickly.

Qiao Zhensheng said excitedly, "Minister Wang Miao still remembers me, but he's too busy to leave right now; his mother is sick and hospitalized. Hao Hao, doesn't your sister have the Spirit Spring Water?"

"If I take the magic spring water to him and cure his mother's illness, I think he would be happy to help. What do you think, why don't you give it a try?"
