Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 218: A Feint of Pregnancy

Rutile refinery, Los Angeles, June 1960.

Johnson Upton looked at the letter in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The content of the letter was very simple. The man claimed that he had 10,000 tons of rutile and wanted to sell it, but the price could not be lower than 10,000 ounces per ton.

There was nothing surprising in the content, but there were two strange points. First, the fact that the letter appeared in Johnson's hands was completely accidental.

This happened when he was at work today. His secretary helped him get the letter from the office. It was marked as urgent, so he opened it to read.

However, he asked his secretary where the letter came from, because there was no return address, and his secretary just said that the postman gave it to him.

After investigation, the postman told the truth: someone gave him five hundred dollars.

Although the truth was revealed, Johnson Upton was still very puzzled as to why the other party went to such great lengths to send the letter and chose the sea area between Vladivostok and Kimura as the transaction address?
The time has been set, which is 1:00 a.m. on the 17th of this month.

So should we trade?
Johnson Upton hesitated, but finally decided to arrange for someone to investigate.

This batch of goods is most likely from Vladivostok, and is unlikely to be the batch of rutile in the hands of the mysterious man before.

Unfortunately, Johnson could never have imagined that this letter had been delivered across the ocean by the head of Mario Airlines.

Of course, while Johnson Upton was looking at the letter, Zhao Mancang also saw a letter from Medford in Lingguang County.

"Heh, this guy is quite greedy. He actually wants titanium alloy too?"

The letter was sent by the head of Mario Aviation, and its content was about the acquisition of rutile, as well as applications for refining titanium metal and developing titanium alloys.

Although Zhao Mancang didn't know where the person in charge got the news about titanium alloy, he had already realized that the three words "titanium alloy" were no longer a secret in the North American aviation industry.

You know what, this matter really has a lot to do with Zhao Mancang.

If he had not sold the information about rutile to the British Sixth Branch, the Moscow KGB and the Gallic External Security Service, Sam's Intelligence Agency would not have gone to such extremes.

Ever since Sam's Intelligence Agency revealed its hope to purchase rutile at a high price, titanium metal refining technology has no longer been a secret.

Titanium metal has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight, which cannot be concealed at all.

However, the person in charge of Mario Aviation was not aware of the difficulty of titanium metal processing, otherwise he would not have made such a difficult request to the big boss Zhao Mancang.

You know, Moscow has already mined a large amount of rutile and tried to refine titanium metal, but due to poor technology, it has made no progress.

Otherwise, the Avisma Magnesium Titanium Factory would not have exported part of the rutile to third-party countries.

The processing of titanium metal requires extremely high technical and equipment requirements. The process of refining titanium metal is relatively complicated, starting from mineral processing, to chlorination, and finally to magnesium thermal reduction. The whole process involves not only chemical reactions, but also physical separation technology, which are all very complicated.

"You're quite picky. Don't you think about whether you have such a big appetite?"

Zhao Mancang complained and then wrote back a letter, asking them to proceed step by step and develop the relevant technology and production equipment for the Fish Nest Fighter and Farmer Fighter that he wanted, which he would find of great use.

After all these are figured out, it won’t be too late to talk about titanium alloy.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Mancang prepared to return to the capital. When he returned from Lingguang County, he also made some gains in Bohai.

After harvesting a lot of seafood, Zhao Mancang headed home.

These seafoods are definitely not all kept for themselves, but will be sold in the market.

These seafoods are sold to fixed buyers rather than being sold casually.

Because if he sells them directly in the pigeon market or the rural farmers' market, there will be people coming and going, and Zhao Mancang doesn't know these people, so how can he gain experience points?

If he wanted to salvage these seafood simply to make money, he would definitely not do it.

He is not short of money at all now, what he lacks is experience points.

He has been staying in Beijing for more than half a month, and he does not need to go back to the 108th Department for training, because this is a special vacation approved by the leaders above, which is called maternity leave.

Who made him bring back 20 million ounces of gold before?
The leaders didn't know how to reward him, so they could only give him a vacation.

Since he has nothing to do, Zhao Mancang will definitely find something to do, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Earning experience points is not an easy thing, especially at this time. Zhao Mancang also knows that it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn experience points.

He hopes to meet more people and find more tools.

Unfortunately, how can it be that easy?

Early that morning, Zhao Mancang came back happily from outside. As soon as the car stopped at the door of his house and he hadn't even gotten out, a man jumped out from the side.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you agree to your brother marrying me?"

what?
Zhao Mancang's face was filled with question marks. He didn't even know the woman in front of him, but she called him brother-in-law. And what about "brother"? He didn't even have a brother!

The two guards standing guard at the door neither ate melons nor watched the show, and had no intention of explaining.

Without waiting for Zhao Mancang to answer, Lin Kai, who happened to come here to deliver something, turned green when he saw Zhang Guilan.

"Zhang Guilan, why are you here? Didn't we break up? What are you still doing here?"

Lin Kai quickly rushed over and stood in front of Zhao Mancang. He cursed at Zhang Guilan and then turned to his brother-in-law and said:
"Sorry, brother-in-law, she is Zhang Guilan. Let me handle this matter. You can go back first."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded expressionlessly, took his things from the car, and went in without even looking at Zhang Guilan the whole time.

The latter actually ran over to block the door, which was something Zhao Mancang had not expected.

He also didn't know that Lin Kai and Zhang Guilan had broken up over the issue of the bride price, otherwise he wouldn't be so confused.

In front of the yard, Zhang Guilan was a little angry, a little unhappy, and even a little resentful.

However, Lin Kai's attitude was firm, and his consecutive remarks made Zhang Guilan lose face.

Love turns to hate, that's how it happens.

In the backyard, Zhao Mancang briefly told Lin Wan what had happened just now. She wanted to go to the front to take a look, but was stopped by him.

"Why are you interfering in the affairs of two young people? Besides, you are in confinement now. Even if the sky falls outside, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you going out?"

Zhao Mancang was a bit strong and didn't let her go out.

The "unfair rules" of confinement passed down from ancient times to the present, such as not washing hair for 30 days, are actually not without reason.

The most important rule during the confinement period is to avoid going out, because the mother's body is still relatively weak at this time. If she is exposed to wind and cold when going out, it may leave sequelae to her body, and she will be obviously unable to adapt in her future life.

As a doctor, Zhao Mancang knew very well the primary causes of diseases such as colds. Even though Lin Wan felt that her body had recovered and she could even "punch the Beihai Nursing Home and kick the Nanshan Nursing Home", the fact was that she was weak.

Lin Wan rolled her eyes. "It's not like I've ever been through postpartum confinement before. How could I not know my own body? I'm so fed up being stuck at home every day."

She complained as she pleased, but Zhao Mancang insisted on his own opinion and would definitely not let her go.

Besides, someone like Zhang Guilan is not worthy of Lin Wan going out. Even if she wants to go out, she should let Zhang Dongyue help solve the problem.

The commotion at the front gate finally subsided.

However, Lin Kai just put the things down and slipped away, without any intention of coming in to say hello to his sister.

In the yard, Hu Xiaocao and her four siblings were playing and working. Lin Huijun, Hu Xiaohua, Yu Shumeng and others were playing hide-and-seek like crazy, and the whole yard was their battlefield.

It was not until she heard her father's order to make milk tea that Lin Huijun ended the game in ecstasy, ran to her father, and excitedly expressed her willingness to help.

There were quite a few guests at home, including Yu Shumeng's three siblings, the five children from the next-door neighbors, and Hu Xiaocao's four siblings. There were really a lot of people.

So of course there is a lot of milk tea to be made today.

"Dad, can we have fried rice for lunch?" Lin Huijun asked in a low voice while helping to peel the sweet potatoes.

Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Zhao Mancang couldn't bear to refuse her.

"Has it been half a month?"

"Ah?" The greedy little cat quickly counted on his fingers, and was surprised to find that half a month had passed.

"Yeah, today is exactly half a month. Dad, I can eat fried rice today, right?"

After seeing her father nod, Lin Huijun was immediately overjoyed.

Even Hu Xiaocao and her four siblings couldn't help swallowing their saliva, simply because Lin Huijun had been talking about fried rice frequently in the past period of time.

It can be said that people are praised for how delicious fried rice is almost every day, and everyone's psychological threshold for fried rice has been raised to the highest level.

Yu Yuanxu and his two siblings also swallowed their saliva. They hoped that the fried rice cooked by Zhao Mancang would be very delicious so that they could have a taste of it, but they also hoped that it would not be so delicious.

Because they had asked their parents before, hoping to eat fried rice.

The next day, their mother Jiang Chuanmei did make them a pot of fried rice, and they were very satisfied. However, when she gave it to Lin Huijun to taste, she only took one bite and didn't want to eat it anymore.

"It's not delicious. Not as good as my dad's."

This was Lin Huijun’s evaluation, so at this moment, Yu Yuanxu and his two siblings were full of hope but also a little resentful.

Next, Zhao Mancang began to prepare today’s lunch, but Lin Wan definitely couldn’t eat much fried rice, so he had to prepare something else for her.

During the confinement period, there are many things that mothers need to avoid, including raw and cold foods, such as ice cream, watermelon, oysters, etc.

In addition, mothers should use medicines such as donkey-hide gelatin, astragalus, and tongcao, because these medicines can not only replenish qi and blood, but also promote lactation.

At this moment of eating, with Dr. Zhao Mancang around, Lin Wan would certainly not have any problems.

"Ah, is it really that complicated? Does rice need to be boiled and steamed?"

When Yu Yuanxu and other little brats saw Zhao Mancang preparing rice for fried rice, they were stunned by the several steps involved.

Little brats like Yu Yuanxu were neither grown up nor young, but they knew that generally speaking, cooking was just about adding water and boiling.

Who knew that Zhao Mancang would actually cook the rice half-cooked first and then steam it in a steamer. This process was so troublesome.

"Yes, you'll know how delicious the fried rice my dad makes is soon."

Lin Huijun was particularly proud, and her vanity was greatly satisfied at this time.

Especially the admiring looks of Yu Shumeng, Hu Xiaohua and others made her extremely happy.

In such an atmosphere, milk tea was made as soon as possible, and a bowl was naturally served to Lin Wan. The little greedy cat was very proactive and actively brought the bowl of warm milk tea into the room to her mother.

When she returned to the front kitchen from the backyard, the whole kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of fried rice, which made her unable to help but take several deep breaths.

At this time, the three siblings Yu Yuanxu, Yu Shulan, and Yu Shumeng, the four siblings Hu Xiaocao, Hu Xiaohua, Hu Xiaoye, and Hu Xiaoming, as well as several children from the next-door neighbors, were all standing or sitting at the kitchen door, staring at Zhao Mancang who was busy in the kitchen.

The kitchen is not big. If all these little kids come in, it will be too crowded and definitely not suitable.

"Isn't it fragrant?" Lin Huijun asked Yu Yuanxu and the others while standing at the kitchen door. Yu Yuanxu, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, remained silent, but Yu Shumeng nodded happily.
"Yes, it smells so good. Huijun, your father is so amazing. The fried rice he makes smells so good that I feel full just by smelling it."

Zhao Mancang in the kitchen heard this and couldn't help but respond loudly:
"Then I won't serve you fried rice later, okay?"

"No!" Yu Shumeng responded quickly, everyone burst into laughter, and then she felt shy.

It seems that she shouldn't ask others for food so directly, because if she does, she will be showing the impoliteness her parents taught her!
When you visit someone's home, how can you take the initiative to ask for food?

Just then, her brother Yu Yuanxu scolded her.

Zhao Mancang smiled and said nothing more.

When preparing the ingredients for fried rice, he prepared a lot of them. Obviously, he treated everyone equally and would prepare some for little brats like Yu Yuanxu.

They are all neighbors, and they are guests at home. It is normal etiquette to prepare some food for the guests.

Of course, if there is a shortage of food at home, that’s a different story.

After a while, the fried rice was finally freshly baked and we could eat.

At this time, Yu Yuanxu and the other children asked to leave and refused to eat fried rice.

The same thing happened to several children from the neighbors next door, they all ran away in an instant.

Zhao Mancang scooped some of the food up on a plate and asked Lin Huijun to take it to Yu Yuanxu's home.

It’s just a few steps away anyway.

Dahei and Xiaohei followed them out, so they weren't too worried. Hu Xiaocao and the others also followed them, and they all ran away in a swarm.

At Yu Ziliang's house next door, Jiang Chuanmei just arrived home and saw her three children sitting at the dining table, concentrating on eating. They looked like Bajie eating, and their eating manners were really ugly, but the food seemed to be very delicious.

"What are you eating? Where does this fried rice come from?"

"Mom, you're back. This is what Huijun's father next door gave us. Have a bite, it's delicious."

Yu Shumeng is still young, the same age as Lin Huijun. She is more well-behaved and sensible, and eats more slowly.

But the way she "invited everyone to dinner" made her mother Jiang Chuanmei feel both amused and helpless.

"Who wants something you've already eaten? Eat it yourself."

The fried rice was indeed very fragrant, especially when the three children were busy eating it. Jiang Chuanmei felt a little jealous.

She had made fried rice for the children before, but they didn’t enjoy it so much.

"Mom, it's really delicious. There are shrimps, beef, and several other ingredients in this fried rice. It's especially delicious." Yu Shumeng suddenly became anxious and hurriedly promoted her bowl of fried rice.

Under her strong recommendation, Jiang Chuanmei reluctantly took a bite.

Sure enough, Jiang Chuanmei was bribed by just a mouthful of fried rice.

It really smells and tastes good. No wonder her three children like it so much and eat it in such an ugly way.

It seems that sometimes, I really need to reflect on my cooking skills.

At Zhao Mancang's house next door, Hu Xiaocao and several other children were squatting on the steps in the yard, eating happily.

Seeing how they were eating voraciously, Zhao Mancang also became very hungry.

In fact, the atmosphere when eating is very particular. Led by children such as Lin Huijun and Hu Xiaocao, especially the three-year-old Hu Xiaoming, he ate the most happily, just like a piglet.

While eating, Zhao Mancang checked his system experience value arrival information, because in just a short while, a lot of prompts had come in, and the clanging sound was the sound of joy of harvest.

Today's fried rice was really worth it. I gained more than 500 experience points, of which more than % were contributed by Hu Xiaocao and her four siblings.

"Hehe, I always thought it was hard for business owners to make money, but now it seems it's not that difficult."

Zhao Mancang happily fantasized that if one day his experience value balance exceeded 100,000 or even 1 million, wouldn’t he be able to do more and more things at that time?

Not to mention that at the current speed of gaining experience points, if he comes a few more times, even if he stays in Beijing, he will be able to make the new experience point balance exceed 10,000 in less than a month.

The fried rice and milk tea at noon received unanimous praise from Hu Xiaocao, Mei Chunyan and others. The only thing that everyone didn't like was that they could only eat it once every two weeks.

But this is a rule that cannot be broken, and there is nothing we can do but to abide by it.

"Sister, can we eat twice?"

After lunch, Hu Xiaohua was obviously not full yet, but in fact she was already a little full. If Zhao Mancang had not noticed the clue and stopped her in time, Hu Xiaohua would have eaten two more bowls of fried rice.

The reason she was asking this was because they would be working at Zhao Mancang's house for a month and a half. If they were to eat fried rice once every two weeks, they would probably only be able to eat it twice. "You wish! Get back to work and stop overthinking." Hu Xiaocao glared at her, then lowered her head and warned:

"Pay attention to yourself and don't act like a spoiled brat like Huijun. You are not Uncle Zhao's daughter. We are here to work, this is not our home."

In addition to Hu Xiaohua, the two younger ones, Hu Xiaoye and Hu Xiaoming, were also warned.

Zhao Mancang didn't take the conversation between the little guys seriously. He could just invite them when the time came, or come up with other reasons at that time.

All in all, there are always more solutions than problems.

Lin Wan also gave a high evaluation of the fried rice for lunch today, especially the milk tea, which was really delicious.

"Can I still drink milk tea tomorrow?"

"There's chicken soup every day, don't you want to drink it?"

"I'm tired of drinking the same chicken soup every day. Milk tea is sweet and delicious. I like it very much. Can you make some for me tomorrow?"

"If the little greedy cat sees this, she'll definitely be clamoring for more. Should I give it to her then?"

"You can only drink once every two weeks. Why did you make such a stupid rule?"

The couple talked about this for a long time, and finally ended with Lin Wan abiding by this rule.

Because Zhao Mancang is a doctor, what he says is, to a certain extent, the rules.

That night, Zhao Mancang told Lin Wan that he needed to go out to do something and would be home in the morning, and then he went out.

The two guards at the door have already evacuated. They don't need to be on duty at night and will only come during the day.

It was not only because Zhao Mancang was at home, but also because the two wolf-blue dogs, Dahei and Xiaohei, were at home. Dogs have a more sensitive sense of smell, and Dahei and Xiaohei have made contributions before, so Zhao Mancang felt relieved to have them guarding the house.

Even if the guard was not standing guard at the door, Zhao Mancang did not come out from the gate, but climbed over the wall to leave.

Zhao Mancang arrived at the sea area between Vladivostok and Kimura an hour and a half late. At this time, a nuclear submarine was quietly docked in this sea area, and there was also a merchant ship on the sea.

It seems that he has no intention of conducting a proper transaction with Zhao Mancang.

"I knew these Sams were cunning and greedy. They're just as good as dogs."

After making a sarcastic remark, Zhao Mancang took a deep breath. Even though he was very angry, he still planned to meet with the other party and have a chat.

The fishing boat suddenly appeared on the sea and then slowly approached the large merchant ship.

At this time, the merchant ship and the nuclear submarine also discovered the fishing boat, but they were all very surprised because they had been staring at the nearby waters through radar and other equipment. It was impossible for anything to appear within five nautical miles of them without radar warning.

The result is that the current situation is that this fishing boat appeared very abruptly, and was only three nautical miles away from the large merchant ship.

After moving less than two nautical miles, the fishing boat suddenly stopped and then began to communicate via radio waves.

"Fuck, they actually knew we had a nuclear submarine? They even specified the model of the submarine. Could it be that we have a mole inside?"

Just the content of the telegram was enough to shock Sam, the intelligence agency captain on the merchant ship, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Mancang's move was a psychological attack, and the other party was quite receptive to it.

"Official transaction in three days?"

After some conversation and explanation, Zhao Mancang reluctantly believed Sam and asked for a formal transaction three days later.

However, Sam, the captain of the intelligence agency's special agent, hopes to meet him now and verify the quality of the rutile. If possible, they can trade now.

"I don't have any rutile on this fishing boat, so I can't trade with you. But I do have rutile samples, but you have to pay for them."

After this telegram was sent, Zhao Mancang's image as a money-hungry person was established.

"How many samples of rutile are there?"

"One ton costs 40,000 ounces of gold. Do you have that much money?"

hiss!
The captain of the special agent team of Sam's Intelligence Agency couldn't help but take a deep breath, his pupils were filled with shock beyond words.

My goodness, who gets samples directly by the ton?

What's more, he just asked for 40,000 ounces of gold, what bullshit!
If they knew that Zhao Mancang no longer wanted to trade with them and was therefore bidding such a high price, they would probably be even more furious.

There was no way. He had conducted many transactions with Sam's people. Except for the previous few transactions with Francis which were relatively smooth, the other transactions were hard to describe.

Now that he saw that the Sam people were still as stubborn as ever, he naturally didn't want to trade with them, because the batch of rutile he had on hand was exactly the same as before.

Once the Sam people discover that it is the same batch of rutile, there will definitely be big problems.

In this case, it would be better not to continue trading with these Sam people from the beginning.

But Zhao Mancang never expected that after hesitating for a while, the other party still agreed to his outrageous request.

So Zhao Mancang had to drive the fishing boat closer before he could trade with the other party.

Not to mention that the entire transaction process was extremely calm and smooth, which was something Zhao Mancang had not expected.

Because they made several dummies on the deck and in the cabin of the fishing boat for bluffing, it was quite effective, so these Sam people didn't just rob them directly.

After leaving the sea area with 1.52 million US dollars in cash, Zhao Mancang packed up the fishing boat after walking about three nautical miles. Then he went to the sea and took out a large tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms from the system space. He hugged the tuna and asked the other party to take him away from here.

Tuna can reach speeds of up to 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, or even faster.

Of course, because Zhao Mancang is involved, the speed will definitely be slower, but it can still reach 65 kilometers per hour.

As long as he was away from a certain distance, Zhao Mancang would change to a seaplane, then return to Bohai Sea and then return to Tianjin Wharf.

However, he left the sea area so quickly and miraculously that the SAM Intelligence Agency agents on the large merchant ships and nuclear submarines were stunned.

"Fuck, God, how did he do that? Why did it suddenly disappear from the radar system? This is a huge fishing boat. We saw it clearly just now. Is this the latest technology from Moscow?"

In their opinion, the person who had just done business with them was a local from Moscow.

These Moscow people somehow learned that their SAM Intelligence Agency was buying rutile at a high price, and thought it was profitable, so they took the risk.

The most important thing is that the people in Moscow who traded with them actually knew how to verify the authenticity of US dollar cash, which is really surprising.

"Report it. This matter is no longer something we can be responsible for."

The commander on the nuclear submarine had a serious expression on his face. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation.

Faced with such a thing, they had no other choice but to report it.

They would rather believe that there was a problem with the radar system, rather than that the whereabouts of these Muscovites were strange, or even that Moscow already possessed extremely advanced technology.

But if they simply and crudely concluded that there was a problem with the radar system, the experts on the North American continent would definitely be furious.

Half a day later, the news was transmitted back to Washington. After Douglas Mackay saw the telegram message, he became furious.

"madness!"

It's so stupid!
How could there be a problem with the radar system?

If there really is a problem with the radar system, then wouldn't all of Sam's radar systems be destroyed?
Even though Douglas was not an expert, he knew that such questioning would cause big problems.

Douglas was very angry at this time, but he couldn't see the radar system surveillance images immediately, so he couldn't analyze the specific reasons.

Three days later, it was still the same sea area, and it was still the same large merchant ship and nuclear submarine, but they waited in vain for a whole night and found nothing.

They were let go.

Very angry, but nowhere to vent.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the person they were waiting for still did not show up. No matter whether it was day or night, no one came here.

At this point, even a fool would know that they were being fooled.

What can we do?

Nothing can be done.

Of course, Zhao Mancang was not happy at all at this time, because Zhang Guilan actually ran to Heizhima Hutong to cause trouble, forcing Zhang Dongyue to go back to help deal with it, and even Lin Wan was very worried.

If Zhao Mancang hadn't persuaded her, she would have really not stayed in confinement and would have gone back to see him.

Ever since being rejected by Lin Kai last time, Zhang Guilan still didn't give up, so she ran to Heizhima Hutong to make trouble again. For a while, all the neighbors knew that Lin Kai had a girlfriend, but the two sides were now in conflict.

All the matchmakers who originally wanted to introduce Lin Kai to a partner gave up their efforts.

Lin Kai got angry after hearing what Zhang Guilan did. Not only did he beat Zhang Guilan, he also announced that he would never marry again in his life.

Well, now that he has said that, Zhang Guilan shouldn’t continue to make trouble, right?

As a result, she shamelessly said that she was pregnant with his child, and he had to either beat her to death or marry her and swear not to beat her again.

Now that the pregnancy was known, the neighbors were even happier enjoying the melon.

After hearing this, Zhang Dongyue didn't get angry but laughed instead. She was really happy.

Therefore, Zhang Dongyue accepted Zhang Guilan, but Lin Kai was very conflicted because he didn't know what the pregnancy was like.

I can only say that Lin Kai is too naive and doesn't know that having sex is necessary to have a child.

"Brother, don't be angry. Isn't she pregnant? Just go find brother-in-law and let him take her pulse. Then you'll know everything."

Lin Shuxian was also quite annoyed with Zhang Guilan, because she couldn't concentrate on her studies because of the trouble she caused.

You know, there are only a few days left before the high school entrance examination, and there are still people who make her unable to concentrate on her review. It would be strange for her to be happy.

After hearing his sister's advice, Lin Kai hesitated and finally went to find his brother-in-law.

On Zhongguancun South Street, Zhao Mancang in the courtyard saw Lin Kai come in. After the latter explained the situation, he shook his head and said,

"It's definitely not possible for me to go. You and your mother can take her to the Union Hospital for a checkup. We'll know right away whether it's true or not."

"But you are pretty good, actually having sex before marriage."

Lin Kai's face flushed red in an instant, and he hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a word:

"Brother-in-law, I'm actually with her, but she's too greedy. Even if she gets pregnant, I don't want to marry her. I'm afraid our family will never have peace again."

Zhao Mancang's face turned serious when he heard this. He said, "Let me ask you, did you have any sexual relations with her?"

"Yes!" Lin Kai was anxious and couldn't help but answer, but he immediately became shy again.

"I'm talking about having sex with her. Have you ever done anything like that?"

It's already very explicit here. Zhao Mancang believes that Lin Kai should be able to understand it, right?

Because Zhao Mancang just discovered that his brother-in-law was not an ordinary person. In his brother-in-law's view, the four words "have sex" just mean confirming the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, and they definitely have such a relationship, so his brother-in-law is very sure.

But he didn't know that having sex meant sleeping together.

"Go to bed? Huh?" Lin Kai was suddenly confused. Zhao Mancang already knew what was going on.

His head was buzzing, and Zhao Mancang felt that as a brother-in-law, it was necessary for him to explain to his brother-in-law what having sex meant.

A few minutes later, Lin Kai's face was flushed, but his eyes were blazing.

Because his brother-in-law had already made it very clear that he and Zhang Guilan had never had that kind of relationship. The relationship between them was limited to holding hands and hugging, and nothing more.

So it is impossible for Zhang Guilan to be pregnant, but the other party claimed that she was pregnant.

This matter is that Zhang Guilan is deceiving Lin Kai and their Lin family!
Zhao Mancang didn't care about what happened afterwards.

Because Zhang Dongyue was not at home, Zhao Mancang had to take care of Xiao Baozi and the other children himself. There were so many children that he felt he could not take care of them all.

So he threw the two sisters Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi to the care of the two older children, Hu Xiaocao and Lin Huijun, and asked the two sisters Hu Xiaohua and Hu Xiaoye to help assist.

There is only one requirement, which is to not let the two sisters Xiaobaozi and Xiaotaozi cry.

As for Zhao Mancang, he took care of Xiao Shitou himself.

Little Shitou is still very small and sleeps most of the time, but he eats a lot and poops a lot, so he always cries every one or two hours.

Mei Chunyan has a lot of work to do, either helping with laundry or cleaning the house, not to mention cooking. In short, there is a lot of work to do at home.

Busy times always pass quickly. On this day, Zhao Mancang was still immersed in the baby voices of little Baozi and little Taozi calling for "Daddy" when a guest came to the door.

It was Qiu Shigui, Yuan Zuliang and others who came.

"Wow, I didn't realize your house has become a nursery, Mancang. Where do all these children come from?"

After Qiu Shigui and the other person exchanged greetings, he immediately expressed his feelings in a very impolite manner.

There were indeed quite a few children in the yard at this time. There were four of Hu Xiaocao's siblings, not to mention Xiao Baozi, Xiao Taozi, Lin Huijun, and Xiao Shitou in Zhao Mancang's arms. There were eight people in total.

Of course, if you don't look carefully, Mei Chunyan, who is 1.46 meters tall, can be mistaken for a child.

Zhao Mancang gave a brief explanation with a smile, and then the topic shifted to their experiences in Mindanao.

At this moment, Hu Xiaocao and the others were on the other side, so they definitely couldn't hear the conversation between Zhao Mancang and the other three.

What Yuan Zuliang and his companions brought back from Mindanao this time was not gold, but a lone wolf.

Zhao Mancang was quite surprised to learn that they caught the lone wolf but did not bring back the gold.

Because it's unlikely.

When Zhao Mancang joined the 108th Department, his first task was to track down the lone wolf. At that time, there was already intelligence information indicating that this lone wolf obviously had information about some of the gold treasures.

"How could there be still gold? Didn't you take all the gold back to the capital?" Qiu Shigui and Yuan Zuliang retorted upon hearing this.

When talking about this, the two of them couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Mancang's luck was simply incredible.

That's 20 million ounces of gold, weighing more than 570 tons.

"not me."

Zhao Mancang smiled bitterly but did not explain further.

He knew it best. Of the 20 million ounces of gold he brought back before, more than 18 million ounces were gold from the system space, which he obtained by trading rutile with others in Europe and the United States.

Since it was not him who dug the gold from Mindanao, he naturally has a say.

According to previous predictions by the Sam people and the outside world, before leaving Mindanao, the Kimura people buried gold, jewelry, antiques, minerals and other resources worth nearly 20 billion US dollars directly on Mindanao.

The gold resources must be at least more than 10 billion US dollars. According to the price between the US dollar and gold established by the Bretton Woods system at the time, this more than 10 billion US dollars of gold is at least 300 to 400 million ounces of gold.

Even if nearly 100 million ounces have been mined, and there are still 100 million ounces that cannot be mined or discovered for various reasons, then there are still more than 100 million ounces that have not been mined.

Therefore, as long as we have these clues, we will definitely be able to continue to make meritorious contributions.
