Chapter 237 Absolutely Voluntary
Zhong Jialing stood behind Zhong Taicheng and put the loaded gun to his head.
Zhong Taicheng was so frightened that his whole body froze, "Brother, save me!"
Zhong Taian stood up in a panic, "Young commander, don't be impulsive, let's talk it over."
Zhong Jialing's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and she smiled brightly, "Isn't this just a joke with my second uncle? I'll show him what will happen to anyone who bullies our friends."
Zhong Jialing handed the gun to Sui Chunfang and said, "This is a gift we prepared for you. The world is in chaos, so keep it for self-defense."
Jiang An smiled and smoothed things over. She said to Zhong Taian, "My daughter has always been like this. Young people like to play and make noises. There's no need to be nervous."
Zhong Taian smiled awkwardly, feeling that this group of people came with ill intentions, but he couldn't figure out what their purpose was.
Sometimes they give generous gifts, sometimes they load their guns with bullets, some play the good guy, some play the bad guy, sometimes they give a stick, sometimes they give a sweet date, what on earth are they trying to do?
I heard from Chunfang that they are now part of the Anti-Japanese United Army. Could it be that they are here to ask for military funds?
Zhong Taian quietly called the butler over, whispered a few instructions, and the butler quickly left.
The atmosphere returned to normal and everyone was still chatting as usual.
Jiang An took Sui Chunfang's hand and looked at her carefully: "I saw you were fine yesterday, why do you look a little worse today?"
Grandma Ge Yan said, "She said she couldn't eat last night. I don't know what happened. I was thinking of asking a doctor to check her out."
Grandma said, "Our Jiu'er is a good doctor. She has known all kinds of medicinal herbs since she was a child, and she could write prescriptions when she was ten. When we were abroad, both Chinese and foreigners came to her for treatment. She is amazing."
After living with them for a long time, grandma was forced to develop the skill of making up lies, which frightened the old couple of the Zhong family.
The couple both said, "Xiuyun said the same thing. She had even had spotting, and it was all thanks to Miss Luo that she was saved. She was truly a miracle worker.
In this case, please let Chunfang have a look, Miss Luo."
Sui Chunfang put his hands on the table and exchanged silent glances with Luo Jiu.
Everything went according to plan. Luo Jiu announced in public that Sui Chunfang was two months pregnant. The old couple Zhong were stunned by the good news and kept asking, "Is this true?"
Luo Jiu said: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, you can find another doctor to check it out. This happy pulse is vigorous and strong, there is no mistake."
The old couple were so happy that their eyes filled with tears. "We have a successor now. Chunfang, you are a great contributor to our Zhong family."
Zhong Cunzhi said at this time: "Chunfang, you are pregnant, so are we still going to cooperate in setting up a factory?"
Sui Chunfang smiled and said, "Of course I will. If I can't do this, how can I still have the energy to take care of the baby?"
The Zhongs asked hurriedly, "What kind of cooperative factory do you want to set up?"
Sui Chunfang said: "Mr. Zhong wants to open a pharmaceutical factory and wants to rent our land. I thought I would also contribute part of the money as our share.
This pharmaceutical factory is not just for making money. We all think that some of the medicines should be sent to the front line to support the war of resistance.
I only came up with this proposal yesterday, and I just thought about it today. I haven't told you yet. I thought that if my family doesn't agree, then just consider the money as a loan from me.
When the pharmaceutical company makes a profit, I will pay it back with interest."
Grandma hurriedly said, "How can you say such a thing, kid? You are so young and you already understand the national justice. Your parents-in-law will certainly support you. They will definitely support you.
Besides, you are pregnant with the Zhong family's child, so how can you borrow money from the housekeeper? Even if it is given to you as a housekeeper, it is also reasonable. "
Zhong Taian was suddenly put on a pedestal and given a high hat. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. He looked at Zhong Taicheng and said, "Second brother, what do you say?"
Zhong Taicheng had just recovered from his fright, what could he say? He didn't dare to offend anyone in the room, so he just said, "Brother, you decide, I have nothing to say."
Zhong Taian gritted his teeth and estimated that even if the pharmaceutical factory had to pay compensation, it would be paid by both companies, and it probably wouldn't be much money. He could just consider it as buying supplements for Sui Chunfang to maintain her pregnancy. So he agreed, "You can use the money at home as you see fit. I'll give you the account later, and you can spend it as you see fit."
Sui Chunfang was delighted and said, "Thank you, Dad."
As they were talking, the butler came up with a plate of silver.
Zhong Taian said, "I heard that you are in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. You are all heroes fighting for the country. I am old and can't help you. Here is a thousand dollars. It is a small gift from me to your army. Please accept it."
Luo Jiu observed his expression, "Mr. Zhong, we are not here to ask for money. Our army has discipline and does not take a single needle or thread from the masses. Are you giving this money voluntarily?"
Zhong Taian glanced at the guns on their waists and said firmly, "Voluntary, absolutely voluntary. For the sake of national justice, our Zhong family has no choice but to do it."
Luo Jiu smiled and nodded, "In that case, we will accept it. Please rest assured that your support for our army will definitely be written in the credit book. On the day when our army wins, you will be extremely glad that you stood in the right position."
Zhong Taian smiled, but he was actually thinking: "Given the current situation, the domestic army has been defeated repeatedly and can't even fight back. What's the point of winning? I don't think I will see it in my lifetime. I will just waste a thousand dollars."
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting, with their own little plans in mind. The old couple Zhong asked the housekeeper to prepare lunch. Everyone pretended to refuse a few times, but finally agreed to stay.
At this moment, the maid ran over to report the news, "Master and Madam, something bad has happened, the young lady is about to give birth!"
Ge Yan dropped the teacup in her hand onto the table and said repeatedly, "Go get the midwife!"
Luo Jiu quickly stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
Sui Chunfang and five others rushed to Zhong Xiuyun's house and heard her heart-wrenching cry from afar, "Mother! Mother! I'm dying!"
As Ge Yan stepped over the gate, her legs went weak and she fell. Zhong Jialing and Feng Qi quickly helped her up and carried her into the house.
Zhong Xiuyun’s face was pale, she was sweating profusely in the middle of winter, and her lips were bloodless.
She gasped for breath and grabbed Ge Yan's hand, "Mom, I can't do it anymore..."
"No, the midwife will be here soon, just hold on..." Ge Yan said with tears falling down her face.
She thought about how she was usually weak and taciturn, which caused her daughter to suffer a lot of gossip during this period of time at home, and she couldn't help but regret it and said, "Yun'er, hold on, as long as you get through this, even if your father forces you to go back to your husband's house, your mother will protect you.
You can live with your child in our home, and we will support you for the rest of your life."
Sui Chunfang was also anxious and crying, "Sister, I'm pregnant too, you have to hold on, our children still have to play together, we will watch them grow up together."
As they were talking, the maid pulled the midwife and rushed into the house.
The old lady, who had twenty years of experience in delivering babies, was so exhausted that she gasped, "Quick...quickly, get out of the way, let me see."
