Chapter 37 Borrowing a Wife to Ask for Money

The Central Daily News, like other government departments, had moved out of Nanjing before December.

All Su Qing's personal connections were severed after his parents and the Central Daily News left. People in Nanjing are now panic-stricken. There are troops and police on the streets, but there are also all kinds of local ruffians who take advantage of the chaos to do whatever they want.

Apart from staying with Jiang Dong, Su Qing had nowhere to go for a while.

In the military camp, the soldiers were seizing every minute to train. Doctors and nurses were running around collecting medicines and various supplies. There were busy figures everywhere. This environment made Su Qing feel safe and secure, and the nightmare

He also gradually moved away from her.

"Sister Xiao Su!"

Xiaodouzi had protected Su Qing on several outings, and the two of them had become like siblings.

"Xiaodouzi, if you don't protect your group leader, why did you come to me?" Su Qing was organizing supplies with the nurses.

"It's the leader who asked me to come to you. He has something to do with you..."

Seeing that the nurses and sisters were all there, Xiaodouzi spoke a little awkwardly.

"What do you want from me?" Su Qing asked, putting down the things in his hands.

"Well, let's go out and talk!"

"What's going on?"

Su Qing followed Xiaodouzi and asked.

"The leader needs your help."

Xiaodouzi didn't explain clearly what happened.

Su Qing was taken to Jiang Dong's temporary office. Jiang Dong was sitting in front of a large table covered with maps, with a very uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Brother Jiang, what help do you want from me?"

Su Qing asked straight to the point.

Jiangdong did not answer her, but turned to Xiaodouzi and said, "Close the door, then go and stand outside and don't let anyone come over."

"Yes, leader!" Xiaodouzi stuck out his tongue and went out.

Su Qing's expression started to look weird. What did Brother Jiang want to do by closing the door in broad daylight?

"Um, Reporter Su, ah no, Xiao Su!" Jiang Dong found that he seemed to have trouble keeping his tongue straight when he spoke.

"Yeah." Su Qing was made uncomfortable by Jiang Dong's nervous and embarrassed expression, and her heart was full of doubts. Could it be that Brother Jiang wanted to propose to her?

'Ah, bah, bah, bah, what am I thinking? Why are you proposing before you even have a partner?'

"That's it." Jiang Dong took a deep breath, "I rented a few foreign merchant ships. These ghost guys are asking very high prices. I won't be able to raise the money for a while. And the next battle may be

It's very cruel. I want to give each of my brothers some money to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Brother Jiang, do you want to borrow money from me? I do have money at home, but they have all moved to Wuhan now!" Su Qing said with some embarrassment.

"No, no, no, just listen to me." Jiang Dong went all out. It was better to start from an acquaintance than to grab someone on the street. "I'm not asking you to borrow money. I have it at home. It's just that the old man controls all my family's money."

As you know, once the elders in the family get older, they always hope that their descendants will get married soon and have grandchildren. My old man is like this too."

The more Su Qing listened, the more confused she became.

"I asked him for money before, but he wouldn't give it to me. I didn't ask for money to spend money, I wanted to do big things. But my old man has such a donkey temper. No matter what I say, he won't give it." He said

... He said that his money was reserved for his future wife. As long as I take a daughter-in-law back, I can take the money as I please. But where can I go to find a wife in such a chaotic situation? I can't just go to the street to grab one. So I

Just thinking that we have some friendship, I would like to ask you to pretend to be my partner, and I will take you back to meet the old man. Don't worry, all these things are forced by my old man. The old man doesn't know the current difficulties.

If I insist on holding on to that little thought, I..."

"I agree!" Before Jiang Dong finished speaking, Su Qing agreed happily.

Although it was a fake partner, she felt inexplicably happy.

"What did you say?" Jiang Dong just turned his head and said like an ant on a hot pot.

"Brother Jiang, if I go back with you, this can be regarded as a contribution to the war of resistance." Su Qing's face turned slightly red.

When Jiang Dong heard this, he was so happy that he hurriedly walked around the big table and held her little hand, "Thank you, thank you! This matter has almost made me worried."

Su Qing felt the man's tenacity coming from his hand, and his heart was beating loudly.

"Let's go, let's go now, the old man will leave Nanjing tomorrow!"

The childish face of Xiaodouzi outside the door showed an expression just as I expected.

Sitting in the car, Su Qing gradually became nervous. She regretted that she had agreed just now when her forehead felt hot.

She was going to meet her parents. Even though she was just pretending, she didn't wash her face or change her clothes. Most importantly, she didn't bring any gifts. The more she thought about it, the more inappropriate she felt.

"Brother Jiang, I haven't changed my clothes and I haven't bought a gift. Wouldn't it be too rude to go like this?" Su Qing couldn't help but say.

Jiang Dong looked at Su Qing from top to bottom, "It's okay, your clothes just show off your heroic appearance."

Su Qing rolled her eyes. Why does this girl want to be so heroic? What I want is gentleness and virtuousness, brother. She said angrily:

"Then at least buy a gift!"

Jiang Dong looked at the chaotic streets outside and felt embarrassed. Where could he buy gifts? However, he still said to Master Li:

"Master Li, look where you can buy gifts on this street, no matter what."

"Eh..." Master Li turned his head slightly and said, "This man ran away and escaped. I'm afraid it won't be easy to buy."

"It's okay, just go shopping around. If you really can't buy it, just forget it!"

Finally, she found a time-honored pastry shop that was still open. Su Qing bought some desserts and bread and asked them to put them in exquisite gift boxes.

When the car drove into the villa, Uncle Ding was already waiting at the gate. Jiang Dong called him before arriving.

"Oh, welcome, welcome!"

Most of the servants at home had left, and Uncle Ding and the remaining four or five people greeted him warmly.

Under the curious and concerned eyes of everyone, Su Qing felt her face getting hot, "Say hello to Uncle Ding, this is a gift for you!"

Uncle Ding's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Okay, okay, what a beautiful girl." Uncle Ding tore open the gift package and took a big bite in front of Su Qing, "It's delicious, what are you doing?"

Do you know that this is what my old man likes?"

I didn't expect that Uncle Ding would have such a character, so Su Qing didn't use all the polite words he had prepared.

Uncle Ding swallowed the food in his mouth and said to the servants behind him:

"Quick, get the red envelope I prepared for the girl!"

Uncle Ding handed the red envelope to Su Qing with a smile. Su Qing wanted not to accept it, but she couldn't resist Uncle Ding's enthusiasm.

Jiang Dong took it upon himself to open the red envelope for Su Qing and took a look, only to see that it was a deposit certificate of 10,000 US dollars. He suddenly felt a little depressed, this old man must be too generous.

At the dinner table, the old man asked Su Qing to ask questions. He was very satisfied with the girl's family background and so on. He just asked Su Qing not to be a reporter anymore because the battlefield was too dangerous. He told them over and over again to get married and have children as soon as possible, and even

Tell Su Qing that he has already thought of the baby's name.

Su Qing was originally a lady, but she had never heard such explicit words before, so she was so shy that she leaned close to Jiang Dong.

After dinner, Mr. Ding took Jiang Dong and Su Qing into his study.

He pointed at the stacks of dollars and piles of oceans and said:

"I know what you are thinking, don't you just want to get money from me? It's all here. I will go to Wuhan tomorrow, you can figure it out yourself."

Jiang Dong happily walked over and touched Dayang.

Mr. Ding said again: "Xiao Su is a good girl, you must take good care of it. This money will be treated as a meeting gift for Xiao Su today. If you don't have enough money, come to me for more." Of course, his last words were directed at him.

Su Qing said that he didn't care where Jiang Dong found the girl, but he considered Su Qing to be his daughter-in-law.

Su Qing responded sweetly, "Thank you, uncle!"

Uncle Ding's enthusiasm made her forget that she was a fake. She felt warm in her heart and felt that there was nothing wrong with letting her become Jiang Dong's wife now.

After Mr. Ding left with satisfaction, Jiang Dong threw himself into the pile of money.

"Xiaodouzi, call the battalion commanders and tell them that I am going to send money to them and the brothers."

"yes!"

Xiaodouzi's eyes were gleaming. He had never seen so much money before.
