Chapter 437 Ruanruan is pregnant
Pei Jingming was so angry that he vomited blood. He couldn't believe that all the antiques he had found with so much difficulty were fake.
But he didn't know that these antiques were real, but they were all swapped by people in your black market.
Meng Yanxin received a call from an informant from the Northern government: "Why are you calling me at this time?"
"I have a batch of antiques that Pei Jingming is selling. I wonder if you are interested." The man's voice was still hoarse.
"Is it genuine?" Meng Yanxin just asked.
"Yes, I've asked someone to check it out." The man replied.
"How many silver dollars do you want?" Meng Yanxin asked.
"I don't need silver dollars, but I want something else in exchange." The man gave his answer.
Meng Yanxin asked, "What do you need?"
"Western medicine, I know there is a Western medicine factory in Beiyang City, these things will not be difficult for you to obtain."
"If you don't want it, I will consider selling it to foreigners in exchange for the Western medicine I need." The man gave his conditions.
"Do you know that if you sell these things to foreigners, you may never get them back?" Meng Yanxin said excitedly.
"I can barely survive, so how can I care whether these things can be returned? I can get them from Pei Jingming and notify you as soon as possible. This is already the biggest concession I can make."
"I'll give you some time to think about it. Call me when you've made up your mind." The man said and hung up the phone.
"Yanxin, is something wrong?" Her colleagues at the newspaper saw that she was in a bad mood after hanging up the phone.
"I have something to do, so I have to leave first." Meng Yanxin packed up her things, grabbed her bag and left the newspaper office.
She came out of the newspaper office, hailed a rickshaw and went to the Governor's Mansion.
Madam Si and Si Ning were a little surprised to see her come back so early.
"Yanxin, why are you back so early?" Si Ning looked at her strangely while holding a son.
Meng Yanxin walked over to them and picked up a child. "I just received a message saying that he has antiques that Pei Jingming looted and wants to exchange them for Western medicine."
"Are you sure these antiques are authentic?" Si Ning looked at her and asked.
Meng Yanxin nodded: "He is still trustworthy."
"Yanxin, how long does he give you to consider it?" Old Madam Si thought for a moment.
"Two days." Meng Yanxin answered truthfully.
"Don't worry, let's discuss it after A Ming and the others come back." Old Madam Si was very calm. If he didn't ask for too much, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Why haven't I seen Juanjuan and Achen?" Meng Yanxin hadn't seen the two children for a long time after coming back.
"They went to the orphanage, Xiaoyang and Yueya went to the military academy, and they still need some time to adapt." Old Madam Si also felt that the house was a lot emptier.
"These children are growing up, and it's time for them to spread their wings and fly." Although Si Ning was reluctant, he also knew that this was their choice.
Bai Qiao is very busy now. She is responsible for teaching medical skills to the children in the orphanage. It is a rare opportunity for her to come back today.
"Old lady, eldest aunt, second wife."
"How come Bai Qiao has time to come back today?" Old Madam Si waved at her with a smile.
"I was passing by today and wanted to come back and take a look." Bai Qiao has always known that she is from the Si family.
"Can you stay at home for a few days?" Si Ning looked at her with a smile.
When she was pregnant with triplets, she saw Bai Qiao's care.
"I'm afraid you can't stay here anymore, so I thought I'd come back to check your pulse." Bai Qiao walked over to them with a smile.
"You are a thoughtful child." Old Madam Si handed her her wrist.
Bai Qiao checked their pulses and said, "Everyone is in good health."
"Are you preparing to go back to the Chinese medicine workshop?" Old Madam Si watched her start to pack up.
"Yes, the weather has changed recently and more people have been sick, so more tablets and granules are needed." After Bai Qiao finished packing, she went to see Song Song Ruan Ruan and Ji Zai Zai.
But she saw Ruanruan lying listlessly in the nest, and Songsong, who rarely lay beside it, served as a pillow for it.
"What's wrong with Ruanruan?" Bai Qiao reached out and checked its body.
"You happened to be back, could you help Ruanruan?"
"Ruanruan has been eating and going to the toilet normally recently, but she's not in a good mood." Old Madam Si walked over to her and squatted down.
"Madam, don't worry, I'll take a look at Ruanruan first." Bai Qiao has learned a lot these days and asked Weng Jin to help find some veterinary books.
Mainly because of the animals at home, she also hopes that they are all healthy.
She reached out her hand for Ruanruan to examine: "Ruanruan, don't be afraid, I'll help you take a look."
Ruanruan cooperated very well and asked her to help him check.
Bai Qiao's eyes lit up when she examined her abdomen. She touched it carefully to confirm her diagnosis.
"Madam, Ruanruan is pregnant." There was joy in her voice.
"Ah!" Everyone else opened their mouths in surprise.
Ruanruan turned her head away from them, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Oh! I have to prepare something delicious for Ruanruan." Aunt Wu ran to the kitchen happily.
"Aunt Wu, don't do too much. If the baby grows up, it will be painful for Ruanruan to give birth to the baby." Bai Qiao added quickly.
"Okay, I get it. Eat smaller meals more frequently." Aunt Wu's voice faded away.
"Then I'm going to make another nest for the puppies so they'll have a place to live when they're born." The housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare the puppy nest.
Madam Si looked at Songsong and said, "Congratulations, you're almost going to be a father."
Songsong turned his head away from her, feeling a little embarrassed.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen heard the good news when they came back, and they happily gradually forgot about Ma Yang and Liu Yueya's departure.
They began to look forward to the puppy's arrival.
After Si Ming and the others came back, he personally called Meng Yanxin's informant in the Northern Government and agreed to his request.
The informant also gave him a piece of news that Pei Jingming was not having an easy time now, but he was trying his best to promote the transaction of military equipment between the Taisho Empire and the Northern Government, and even did not hesitate to secretly sell the antiques he had looted.
And all this seems to be related to Beiyang City, but he has not yet found out the details.
The weather is slowly getting warmer and the snow is starting to melt.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen went to the yard to say goodbye to the snowman.
Apart from the two children, the housekeeper was the one who was most reluctant to part with the snowman. Since the snowman appeared, there was no more snow in their yard, and it was clean every day.
Now that they are disappearing, I feel a little sad.
"Come back next year, and I'll prepare beautiful scarves and hats for you."
"Grandpa Butler, they said they are very happy here and will definitely come again next year." Juanjuan looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, when they come next year, I'll prepare new ones for them." The housekeeper said with a smile as he looked at the damaged red scarf.
After he took the scarf away, the snowman in front of him melted immediately, turned into snow water and merged into the ground.
Si Jinchen picked up all the fallen stones on the ground and put them in a basket beside him. He would put eyes back on them in winter.
