I didn't really have the time to read it recently, and wanted to try to finish it all before writing more spoilers, so yeah. Didn't work out for me, so the lack of spoilers. Anyway, I'm at 2450, so not much until the novel is finished.
Wang Yang Redemption Arc:
Wang Yang, for better or worse, slowly changes. He's staying further away from the Wang family, most importantly, from his father. From what I understood, once, the Wang family wasn't happy about the result of the court case, so they wanted to make some trouble for Qiao Nan.
Wang Yang somehow got to know this, and after thinking a little, he asked his wife, Li something, to send it to Qiao Nan. Li something was suprised, but in the end did send Wang family's plans to MC's phone.
Qiao Nan showed it to Soaring, who said that this should be Wang Yang's try to ask for forgiveness, so that MC and Soaring let him off. Anyway, from what I understood, the Wang family couldn't do anything to MC, since Soaring started making some trouble for them before that.
After that, I didn't see any mentions of Wang Yang or his family. Maybe in the further chapters, but there aren't many left.
Qiao Nan's Dream Arc:
Soaring knew that something was weird with Qiao Nan for some time now. She would sometimes know some things that she absolutely shoudn't, and for some people, she would have feelings that he couldn't find any reasons to have them.
He asked her about it before, but she wasn't ready. Now, that their life is slowly getting more stable, Qiao Nan finally ended up talking to Soaring about it. I don't remember why exactly now, but yeah.
Anyway, Qiao Nan and Soaring had a long talk during the night, where she talked the story about her life, from Qiao Zizi's divorce, need of surgery, car accident, everything that happened in the dream and after. I think Soaring took it pretty well, but I feel like overall he didn't react much, just comforted MC?
Ding Mom's Sickness Arc:
As mentioned before, Ding Mom didn't let Qiao Zizi inside her house last time, when Zizi came back from the capital. Qiao Zizi thought that Ding Mom would slowly turn milder towards her and accept her back, but a week passed by and she still lived in a hotel.
Because of that, Qiao Zizi wasn't happy, so when Ding Mom went out to buy some food, Qiao Zizi found herself a locksmith, who changed the locks (Since zizi had a registration of residence there, or something similar, that confirmed for him that she lived there).
When Ding Mom came back, the locks were already changed, and Qiao Zizi opened up the door to her. Ding Mom obviously wasn't happy, but its not like she can throw her out, can she?
She decided to simply ignore her, and cook dinner for herself. After she did that, Qiao Zizi turned out of her room and took it away. Ding Mom only bought enough food for herself, so like last time, Zizi ended up with all the food while Ding was hungry.
Because of that, Ding later on would eat/cook food when Zizi was not there, and would force herself to eat everything she bought, so that Qiao Zizi couldn't freeload off her. She would often over eat, and once, it ended up with a food poisoning.
Qiao Zizi found Ding Mom, but she knew that if she took her to the hospital, as her relative, she would need to pay her hospital fees. Because of that, she ended up calling a neighbor to take Ding Mom to hospital, so that the neighbor could also call Qiao Nan, and have her pay the fees.
Qiao Nan got the call in the middle of the night and talked about it with Soaring, who told her to just go back sleep and he'll take care of it. He found an old veteran that used to be under him in the army and was in Pingcheng, and asked him to hire a nurse.
When Ding Mom woke up, the nurse was already there. MC paid a lot of money, so the nurse was pretty happy. But yeah, it's Ding Mom, it's not like she's just gonna keep quiet. She could figure out why Qiao Zizi gave her 'away' to the neighbor, so she was really unhappy.
After all, she had a husband, 2 daughters and 4 grandkids, yet nobody was there to take care of her.
Ding Mom wanted one of her daughters to take care of her, but she knew that with Qiao Zizi's attitude and abilities, it wouldn't work. Because of that, she wanted Qiao Nan to drop everything and take care of her. She asked the nurse to call her, but I think the nurse couldn't even find MC's number on Ding Mom's phone.
It ended up with the nurse calling the veteran, who told her to just take care of Ding Mom, pretty much something along the lines that 'as long as she doesn't die, it's fine'.
Qiao Zizi later came to the hospital and visited Ding Mom. Not sure if Ding Mom was just having her stupid time again, or if Qiao Zizi instigated her again, but her attitude towards the nurse was really bad. The nurse had a pretty good reputation and could easily find work for herself, so she ended up leaving.
Ding Mom just ended up complaining about Qiao Nan again. The veteran responsible for hiring the nurse passed the information to ML + MC, so Qiao nan ended up calling Qiao Zizi. She offered her 10 000$ a month for taking care of Ding Mom. Qiao Zizi wanted to get more money, but Qiao Nan just told her that she can find another nurse, so she agreed. Ding Mom wasn't happy of course, since she knew that even if Qiao Zizi tried, she had no idea how to take care of a sick person, but yeah, now it's too late to regret...
Chen bastards ending Arc:
It was some time now since we last saw Chen bastard. As mentioned a few times already, he was a bastard, and enjoyed sleeping with a lot of woman. Seems like one of them was a little special, since he ended up with AIDS.
One day, Chen Father + Chen Mother came to Qiao Zizi, and decided to give her custody of Chen Feng (or something like that, her son). Chen bastard was already sick, so he couldn't really take care of the child, while the rest of Chen family was already pretty old, and they didn't have much strength, or time, to take care of him.
Good thing that Chen Feng was already old enough to understand some things, and knew that his mother was pretty bad. I'm not sure how old he's now, but there were some talks about him wanting to go to a college abroad (he didn't, because he felt that he should take care of his grandparents), so yeah.
Anyway, Chen Feng also received a house/apartment in Pingcheng (a little bigger then the one Qiao Zizi used to own) from his family, so once Qiao Zizi caught wind of it, she moved over there, leaving Ding Mom alone again.
Qiao Nan's use of the Inheritance/business Arc(?):
Didn't really know how to call this Arc, since it's pretty long, but yeah.
I think there must have been a timeskip again somewhere in between, because Qiao Nan's children are now at the age when they can start going to school.
Anyway, Qiao Nan already received the inheritance Zhu father left her. There's a lot of money and some business in it, so Qiao Nan was thinking what to do with it.
One of her ideas was to I think build some retirement / nursing houses for older people. I'm not sure if this is a business thats going to earn her money, but I think we all can understand why she would do this (Lin Master from her dream, Zhu father this life etc...). Thanks to her, a lot of old lonely man can get some help. Pretty sure author even wrote an example here, and old man that used to be in the military, and his only son was in the army as well. He was pretty lonely, but he felt happy knowing that there were still people remembering them after they left the military and got old.
Qiao Nan's other idea about how to use the money, was to donate / sponsor schools. Schools in bigger cities were fine, but the ones in poor areas barely could provide anything for children, so Qiao Nan wanted to donate money to them.
One of the schools that Qiao Nan wants to help, is in Pingcheng, in a mountain area. She wanted to go over and look around the school for herself before donating money, and Soaring wouldn't let her just leave alone, so she ended up taking the kids as well (since they would feel scared if they suddently didn't see her for a long time).
Soaring's mother wanted to go as well, but in the end they (ML's father as well) had to stay in the Capital. In this life, they are already old, so their bodies couldn't handle traveling so much, and if they got sick, the capital had a much better healthcare than Pingcheng, so yeah.
On the way to the mountains, Qiao Nan and her family went back to ML's house in Pingcheng. Huahua and her daughter, Jiajia, were currently living there. Jiajia was mostly at school, so she only went back home on weekends. One of the reasons was that Huahua liked it there and the capital had worse conditions when it came to smog and other stuff, but she also thought that her parents would come back to live there, since they're pretty old. For now, they didn't really want to leave Qiao Nan's kids, so they didn't come back. Not sure if they will in the future.
Anyway, since she was back, Qiao Nan decided to visit some of her old neighbors and thank them for taking care of Ding Mom (last time with the hospital). Once she did it, she turned towards Ding Mom's home. If I understood it properly, Ding Mom didn't want to open the door for Qiao Nan, so one of the neighbors invited Qiao Nan to their home. Ding Mom heard it, so she instantly came out and called Qiao Nan inside.
Ding Mom's relation with Qiao Nan was bad, so MC didn't really want to stay inside for too long. She just spoke a few words, gave her some stuff/gifts and wanted to leave.
Ding Mom was feeling pretty lonely recently. Qiao Dad left for a few years now, Qiao Zizi was living in Chen Feng's house, and her neighbors didn't want to talk to her, so her life was pretty sad. Because of that, she wanted to talk a little with Qiao Nan.
She ended up asking about Qiao Dad again, but Qiao Nan just told her that it's her father's decision, and if he doesn't want to come back, she can't help it. Anyway, before Qiao Dad left Ding Mom, they already had a pretty bad relationship, but the only thing he still talked about with her was MC's kids.
Thanks to that, Ding Mom could use that as a topic to talk a little. Later on, Ding Mom wanted to see the kids (she thought that since Qiao Dad liked them, if she could be close to them, maybe he would forgive her / talk with her again), but Qiao Nan didn't want to let her come near them. She knew about Ding Mom's temper, so in the end she just showed her some photos and videos of the kids before leaving.
Later on, Qiao Nan, Soaring and the kids moved to a house on the mountain. They had to sleep together, since the kids would be pretty scared. Qiao Nan's daughter ended up waking up in the middle of the night, scared (since it was dark and she heard some sounds from the mountains for the first time, like wind and animals), so MC had to comfort her and use a flashlight to let her see her.
Anyway, the next day, Qiao Nan took them and went to the school. I think it only had a single teacher, the kids barely even had some pens to write, and the food wasn't enough for them to grow. Qiao Nan ended up, with the help of Huahua and some of her friends, buying them some materials, winter clothes (for their family/grandparents as well), medicine, a bunch of children's school supplies and textbooks.
