Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 208 Save the Sisters

After looking at his appearance, Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:

"It seems that everyone is the same! There is no other way, we can only do the cultivation experiment slowly. How can you think it is useless? After learning it well, they can take it back and purify penicillin crystals, and they can also make a fortune!"

"Drew! What are you researchers going to do in the future?"

Drew Nemick held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Some of them are going to work as engineers in factories, some are going to find places to open factories, and some are going to work in other laboratories."

He shrugged and said jokingly:

"You should know that we don't have as much money as people from other countries. Our domestic penicillin factories, except for the extraction technology, should be no worse than here."

"Perhaps those factories would rather use the old freeze-drying method than make technological innovations, because after changing the technology, the old machines will be eliminated."

"Everyone has a bright future, only I am a painter!"

Drew Nemick was right. Decades later, nothing has changed.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
This Drew is a 007-type researcher, and his part-time job is similar to that of "Raven".

But he is also a researcher and does not hide his identity too much. He has persuaded Zhang Kaiwu more than once to go to the beautiful country!
You will have a bright future!

More than half of the people in the institute are part-time spies like him.

The girls are even more amazing, they are all full-time spy experts.

Zhang Kaiwu received so many invitations that there were no more ups and downs in his heart!

People like Drew will also leave in a few months.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Kaiwu slowly strolled back.

Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen followed him, and took him home laughing and showing off their income today to him.

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Sister Huairu! I bought you a jeep, it will be convenient for you to use in the future."

Qin Huairu said with a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! Really? Once everything is peaceful, I will drive the jeep to pick up my mom and the others to come and play."

Xu Huizhen asked quickly:
"Brother Kaiwu! I don't even know how to drive a jeep. When can you teach me? Lin Xiaoniang and the others can all drive!"

"After I learn it, I'll invite my parents to come play with me!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Sister Huizhen! I'm very busy. When the new car comes back in two days, you can ask Sister Huairu to teach you. She's an experienced driver."

Qin Huairu hugged her and said with a smile:

"Huizhen! I'll teach you! This technique is very simple and you can learn it in no time. It's just a little scary when going up and down the slopes."

Xu Huizhen hugged her and said quickly:
"Then when the car comes back, Sister Huairu, please take me to study."

After the family became well-off, Huairu and her sisters became more at ease with cars and no longer envied them as they used to.

I bought them a car, but they didn't even give them a kiss!

Ha ha ha ha ha!
When I got home, the girls had already finished school and were studying there.

Especially Baofeng and Huizhi, the one who studied was so serious that he tried his best to skip to the fourth grade, at least to catch up with the stupid Lou Xiao'e.

Fortunately, there are many people at home and I can teach them at any time. I can also ask them on the spot if they know any words they don’t know.

Zhang Kaiwu led Qin Huairu and the others to cook. It was difficult to gain chef experience points, and now he was too lazy to do it himself, so he just stood there and gave orders.

Not long after, Baofeng and Huizhi finished their homework and came to the kitchen to play with him.

Zhang Kaiwu watched Baofeng and Huizhi shyly practicing their drinking skills. He always had to educate the new girls well.

Playing with four small walnuts, he carefully guided them in their studies.

………………

There were guests at home again, and Hu Meiniang came to Su Xiaoyao to plead for mercy.

Today, Hu Meiniang dressed up and put on makeup. It was already very cold in the evening of October, and she wore a thick cheongsam and high heels.

When she came to Su Xiaoyao's room, she found that her sister already had air conditioning. She was so hot that she unbuttoned a few buttons.

She frowned as she watched Su Xiaoyao's performance. Su Xiaoyao, who was wearing casual clothes, served her coffee and some snacks from the Beautiful Country.

Su Xiaoyao held a glass of boiled water and said with a smile:

"Mr. Hu! You should drink more coffee and eat more. I'm pregnant now, and Kaiwu won't let me eat these things, saying they're bad for the baby!"

Hu Meiniang held the coffee and frowned as she said:

"Why are you being so sarcastic? Nowadays, even food is a problem for everyone. There's not even any firewood to burn. What's the point of showing off these things?"

Su Xiaoyao rubbed her belly and said in surprise:
"What do you mean by showing off? These are all gifts from others. There are just too many of these things at home and we can't put them away!"

"You can see it everywhere in the house. The sisters are trying to find ways to eat more snacks and less meals."

"Don't say that sisters don't keep their loyalty! When you leave, take two cans of coffee and some snacks back with you."

"I know it's hard to buy food outside right now, and my sisters are suffering. I'll bring some back for them to taste."

Hu Meiniang frowned, holding the coffee cup, looking at her happy sisters, and suddenly tears started falling.

Su Xiaoyao looked at her in surprise and said:

"Auntie Hu! I don't allow you to play like this! If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Why are you performing such a trick for me?"

"I am a real expert in this technique of skimming Su! If I am interested, I can skim for a whole day, do you believe it?!"

Hu Meiniang wiped her tears and said in a humming voice:

"Little demon! Save the sisters! Let alone snacks and biscuits, we can't even buy food with money now. The price of food is simply outrageous!"

"There are not many customers in the Eight Great Hutongs now. We are just living off our savings every day. In two or three days, we might run out of food!"

"Those little sisters of yours have asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to lend them a hand. Please help them."

Su Xiaoyao held the water cup and said with a smile:

"Auntie Hu! You are kidding me! Money can't buy food. You should report this to the Nationalist government. We can't take care of these things!"

"Even if we take away all the food in my house, how many people can we feed? My family is not a landlord, we also rely on wages to support our family. My sisters work hard to earn money to support our family."

"Poor people like me, I was still working even though I was pregnant a few days ago, sitting in the warehouse shipping goods!"

Hu Meiniang wiped her tears and said aggrievedly:

"In those second-rate brothels, the girls can sell their bodies and get some food to live on. Opera singers like us can't even get food."

"Those banknotes are useless. We have been closed for a few days. Little demon! Do you want the sisters to exchange their bodies for food?"

Su Xiaoyao asked in surprise:

"Mr. Hu! You are really good at talking nonsense. What do they have to do with me? Did I ask you to continue to perform? Did I ask you to exchange your bodies for food?"

"Didn't Kaiwu ask you to become good people at that time? You chose this path yourself, didn't you?"

Hu Meiniang stopped talking and just wiped her tears with a handkerchief...

Whimpering and crying non-stop!
But this is no joke, Su Xiaoyao will never agree to it, she doesn't have the ability! ?
Even if she has that ability, why should she support others! ?

At the beginning, Su Xiaoyao listened to Zhang Kaiwu and even charged a symbolic dollar for the house, and he didn't even ask for rent.

They have been provided with free accommodation.

When they wanted to be independent, did they ever think about how Su Xiaoyao would feel?

In the end, they were able to survive because of Zhang Kaiwu's support, otherwise they would have been eaten up without leaving a bone and would have died long ago.

Even Hu Meiniang herself, didn't she rely on Zhang Kaiwu's face to survive until now? ?
Su Xiaoyao was so angry just thinking about it that she didn't want to care about it at all.

but!

Human life is at stake! Especially those little sisters from the past, after so many years of dealing with each other, there is still some affection between them.

It is really not difficult for Brother Kaiwu to give them a hand now.

Su Xiaoyao thought for a while and said:
"Don't cry in front of me. I really can't help you. Go find Brother Kaiwu after dinner!"

"Don't say those nonsense you just said. Those things are not our family's fault. You can only make Brother Kaiwu upset by saying those things. Think about what to say carefully!"

Hu Meiniang didn't say anything either, thinking about how to plead for mercy later.

I drank my coffee with a frown, then ate several pieces of the snack before I realized that it was really a bit rude.

She blushed and said:

"Xiao Yao! I haven't eaten enough recently. I'm a little hungry. I'm so sorry!"

Su Xiaoyao rubbed her stomach, sighed, and said angrily:

"You really deserve it! You gave your body to someone else, but you don't want a life of luxury. You are such a cheap person, who can you blame?!"

"I don't want to sit down to eat, I have to lie down to eat!"

"Eat whatever you want! There are so many of these things at home! Do you think I'm showing off these things? I'm a noble lady now. Do you think the same as a prostitute like you?" Sisters Huairu and Huizhen often came back with a bunch of things, which were small gifts from the students.

There is really no shortage of things now.

.....................

After dinner.

Hu Meiniang stared at Zhang Kaiwu and followed him into the room.

He hugged his legs and knelt on the ground, unable to get up.

When Zhang Kaiwu saw her coming, he guessed that life would be difficult for her!

He sat down on the bed and said with a smile:

"Mr. Hu! It's still early in the New Year, it's not time to pay New Year's greetings yet."

Hu Meiniang didn't say anything either, she just started practicing her drinking skills.

Feeling deep and depressed!

Zhang Kaiwu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and asked:

"Just tell me what you want to say. You look so sad, you don't come here to play, you look like you are here to collect a debt from me."

Hu Meiniang blushed and whispered:
"We can't even get food in the brothel. The sisters have to eat two meals of porridge every day. Everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet. Now we are counting on you to help save our lives!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Hu Meiniang! How do you want me to save you? Should I give you some food or use some other method?"

Hu Meiniang blushed and said:
"Just give us some food, or sell us some of it. After we get through this period, when it's convenient, we will repay your kindness!"

Zhang Kaiwu pinched her charming face and looked at her distraught look.

He smiled and said:

“There is no problem with food!”

Hu Meiniang was delighted and was about to thank him.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Hu Meiniang! A little food is just a small matter, but do you think things will be settled soon? Do you think the brothel can continue to operate in the future?"

Hu Meiniang blushed and asked:
"Will it take a long time? Will the brothel be opened in the future?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her face and said with a smile:

"Mr. Hu! I've told you before that this brothel can no longer operate, and you need to change your career as soon as possible!"

"Even if peace comes in the future, brothels won't be able to open. If you use some food to survive this idea, you probably won't even survive this winter."

"You are so close to the front gate in the Eight Great Hutongs, don't you realize that this is really a bad time?"

"So many shopkeepers in Qianmen have closed their doors and gone into hiding, and you're still dreaming of opening a brothel?"

Hu Meiniang blushed and said aggrievedly:

"We are afraid of war, too! But if we don't open a brothel and perform operas, how can we make a living?"

"If we don't go to perform, will you support us?!"

Looking at this unpredictable woman, I guess she is still thinking about opening a brothel after overcoming this difficulty! ?
Zhang Kaiwu played with two large walnuts and said with a smile:

"How many of you are there in total?"

"Come and work in our penicillin factory first. You all have some education, so you can help out a little."

"You can support yourself first. It's not that difficult. As for the future, we can talk about it after we get through this difficult time and the world is at peace!"

Hu Meiniang choked up and said:

"Kaiwu! I didn't expect you would be willing to take everyone in for a meal!? I thank you on behalf of my sisters!"

"There are a total of 16 sisters in the two families, as well as five or six handymen and two cooks."

"There are two gong and drum groups. They are not from our brothel. If this business could not continue, they would have gone to other brothels to perform."

Ha ha ha ha ha!
After Su Xiaoyao left, these girls expanded their team and went to bring back three young gentlemen! ?
The gong and drum troupe has all run away! ?
Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said with a smile:

"Mr. Hu! I don't know if you are acting or not, and I don't want to know."

"No one needs to thank anyone, but Hu Meiniang, remember, this is the last time I will pull you ashore. Don't say that I don't recognize you after pulling up my pants. You can take care of yourself!"

"I'll take you to get the people back tomorrow. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and practice drinking! Show us all your skills."

The problem was solved, and Hu Meiniang regained her former demeanor as a great scholar.

Hu Meiniang blushed, took a deep breath, looked at him with a charming smile, and played there happily.

He was still humming and saying:

"You are such a heartless person, eh! You just want to humiliate a little woman like me! Be careful or I will bite you to death! Hmm!"

Zhang Kaiwu will not indulge her after the weather gets special.

She was beaten to death and fell down groaning.

Playing with two big walnuts and looking at the charming Hu Meiniang, Zhang Kaiwu was also speechless.

I don’t know what she is thinking or what her choice will be.

I would rather endure hardship outside than live a life of luxury.

He was just giving her a simple helping hand now, and as for her future affairs, Zhang Kaiwu was too lazy to care about it.

Putting aside those little thoughts, Hu Meiniang is still a very perfect woman.

She is charming, has a slim waist and a seductive voice.

It's tight! It doesn't matter, it's comfortable!
Just treat her as a lover, that's what she thinks anyway.

I would rather be a lover than marry and be a wife.

Maybe she doesn't trust men anymore.

When she encountered problems, she realized that she seemed to have no choice but to rely on her lover?
He came to me crying and begging.

.....................

Get up the next morning.

After he had practiced his crop tricks, washed up, and eaten breakfast.

Zhang Kaiwu calmly took Hu Meiniang to the nearby Penicillin Research Institute to get the car.

The new car that Drew Nemick helped buy had been driven over to him and was parked outside the barbed wire fence.

Because the weather is quite cold, the roof of this new car is considerately pulled up.

Zhang Kaiwu walked in and handed him a cigarette, smiling and saying:

"Drew! How much did you pay for this Jeep?"

Drew Nemick handed him the key with a smile and said:

"Zhang! Our country has plenty of money. You don't have to spend any money. Just think of it as our tuition. You should know that this is not something I will pay for myself."

"The other car will probably be repaired by tomorrow. I'll drive it over to you tomorrow. Would you consider going to the Beautiful Country?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Okay! Thank you! Let's not talk about those things. My interest is in research. I'll be leaving first."

Buying a car was pretty much what he wanted, it was just a jeep, why charge him so much! ?
Is it disgusting to take those few thousand dollars from Zhang Kaiwu?
Of course, it doesn't matter if they take the money. Zhang Kaiwu has a hundred and eight ways to get it back tenfold or a hundredfold.

Deduct money for various reasons.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu went downstairs and carefully checked the new car. Apart from an extra battery and an ignition motor device, there was nothing else.

This car is very simple, so simple that it is impossible to tamper with it.

Accepting gifts is accepting gifts, you have to be careful!
Hu Meiniang, who was following beside him, watched him simply receive a car as a gift from someone else.

It was like when someone in the audience just cheered, he didn't even show any excitement.

Hu Meiniang climbed onto the jeep groaning, muttering to herself that Zhang Kaiwu didn't help her just now.

Zhang Kaiwu pressed the switch to light the fire, then took her to the Eight Great Hutongs.

He played with the two big walnuts to prevent her from complaining.

...............

Qianmen Street is not far away. After seven or eight minutes, you will reach the Bada Hutongs.

Because of the war, Qianmen Street is now really empty, and the Eight Great Hutongs are also deserted in the morning.
