Traveling through the Republic of China

Chapter 18

"Divorce," Mrs. Wu heard, took her daughter's hand, and quickly persuaded: "Peifang, divorce is not a joke. You have been in love for more than ten years." After all, women are still very strict at this time. Strictly speaking, divorced daughters will be criticized.

"It's just a relationship of more than ten years, but in the end it's not as good as a concubine. Mom, I really give up."

"Silly girl, how will you live alone after you leave." Mother Wu gently patted Peifang's head.

"I'll just go home and stay with you. I know Mom, you won't leave me alone." Peifang coquettishly said with her arms around Wu's mother.

Just as I was talking, Mrs. Wu, who knew that her eldest granddaughter was back, actually came here a long time ago. After hearing the whole process, she also walked in from the door with distress, "I have been wronged and don't want to go back, so I will stay at home first, but You can't just talk about divorce."

When Peifang saw that her mother and grandmother were not supportive, she thought she had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Yao also led Xiao Diping back to her natal home on this day.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Peifang, hugged little Diping, shook her little hand and said, "Quickly call sister."

Peifang saw that little Diping couldn't love her enough, so she stepped forward and hugged him, making him giggle non-stop.At the same time, she also knew in her heart that when her aunt came, the divorce would turn around.

Sure enough, after dinner, she heard about Peifang and learned that she wanted a divorce, so Mrs. Yao expressed her support.

Mrs. Wu saw that her youngest daughter expressed support, so she also changed her words. You must know that the Wu family's success today is mostly due to her old daughter's advice.I have given birth to three sons, and I only hoped for this little daughter after eight years. The whole family really loves her so much.When I was young, I was like a fan, and when I grew up, I was so capable, not to mention Mrs. Wu, but the three brothers of the Wu family were always convinced unconditionally.

Seeing her mother-in-law agreeing, Mrs. Wu felt anxious and wanted to say something, but seeing her daughter's smile and thinking of her husband's usual behavior to her sister, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Sure enough, when Father Wu came home from get off work, he nodded his head as a matter of course when he heard that it was the younger sister's decision.

Father Wu, who had a serious face in front of others, completely changed when he saw the younger sister.I remember that when I just got married, sometimes Mrs. Wu would feel bad when she saw it, but later she figured it out, and she became better for her sister-in-law, her husband became more and more satisfied, and the days went better.Thinking about it now, I am really glad I made my decision at the time.

Peifang stayed at her natal family like this. After the Jin family found out, they were busy taking care of Wanxiang, so they didn't care. They thought that Peifang couldn't accept it for a while, and they didn't know that she was planning to divorce.

Mrs. Yao was worried about Peifang, so she stayed at her mother's house for a day and relieved Peifang.

When I went home the next day, I ran into Carlisle and Liu Chunjiang who came to discuss matters with Mr. Yao.

It turned out that after a month of improvement, the formula of penicillin was sorted out, and the next thing I thought about was how to practice and mass-produce it.

Carlisle thought that Yao's family started as a business of medicinal materials, originally a traditional Chinese medicine business, and later started a Western medicine business because of the relationship between Aunt Yao and his mother, so he went to Yao's house with Liu Chunjiang.

"Brother, hug...hug..." Seeing Carlisle, little Diping was excited, but he remembered the big brother with yellow hair, he stretched out his hand and leaned over him.

Carlisle immediately caught his chubby body, and gently pinched his nose, "Little Dipin, don't you think I am?"

"En, en." Hearing this, Xiao Diping nodded quickly.Seeing his cute appearance, Carlisle didn't let go of holding him, and just sat down like this.

After Carlisle explained his intentions, Yao Si'an immediately realized the importance of this drug when he heard that the drug was antibacterial. "Can it be produced on a large scale now?"

"The current technology is immature and can only be produced on a small scale." Liu Chunjiang pushed down his glasses and said seriously, "But its bactericidal effect is very significant."

"Great, if this is the case, it can save many people." Yao Si'an patted the table excitedly, and Mrs. Yao who was next to her also nodded at this time.

"Then look, this medicine—" Yao Si'an said anxiously, wanting to produce this medicine very much.

"We came here just to let the Yao family take over the business," Carlisle raised his head and said, "The Yao family has a good reputation and has a lot of sources of medicinal materials. There is nothing more suitable than this."

Hearing this, Yao Si'an also laughed. He thought for a while, "This belongs to western medicine. Our western medicine factory is built in Shanghai. Maybe you guys have to go to Shanghai."

"Okay," Liu Chunjiang nodded, "Let's leave as soon as possible."

The two are going to sign a contract of intent first, and then sign a formal contract after visiting the Shanghai pharmaceutical factory.

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Mrs. Yao decided to let them stay for dinner. The happiest one was Xiao Diping, who sat in the arms of the blond brother and even took two extra bites of the meal.

By the time the two left Yao's house, it was already dark, and Liu Chunjiang was sitting in the car, talking to Carlisle about their trip to Shanghai in a few days.

"Bang—bang—" two gunshots sounded, Carlisle didn't wait for Liu Chunjiang to react, hugged him and pressed him down.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Carlisle signaled the driver to go down and check, and he came back with a person on his back after a while.

Seeing this, Carlisle and Liu Chunjiang also got out of the car, "What happened?" Liu Chunjiang asked.

"Master, Master Liu, as soon as I passed by, I saw him lying behind the bushes, he seemed to be the companion who went out with you last time." He took a breath and put him in the car.

As soon as the person's face was exposed, Liu Chunjiang exclaimed, "It's Brother Kong!"

Carlisle checked Kong Lifu's gunshot wound. It was a penetrating wound on his arm, but fortunately he didn't hurt his vitals.He realized that he could not be taken to the hospital, and Liu Chunjiang happened to be there, so he ordered the driver to drive home.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the butler Joey greeted them. Seeing that they had brought a wounded back, he didn't panic and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

Under the movement, Kong Lifu woke up. At first he thought he was caught, but he was relieved when he saw Carlisle and Liu Chunjiang again, "Thank you for saving me." He said weakly.

Here Liu Chunjiang was putting on his gloves and was about to fetch a bullet for Kong Lifu. Seeing that he woke up, he took a towel for him to bite, "There is no anesthetic here, just hold on."

Kong Lifu bit his teeth tightly, and nodded to indicate that he could.

Liu Chunjiang quickly picked up the scalpel, and took out the bullet in a short while.Seeing that Kong Lifu was not in good spirits, he thought about asking what happened after he got better, so he bandaged his wound and said, "Take a rest first, don't worry, this is Carlisle's house, it's safe."

Then he ordered the servants next to him to take good care of Kong Lifu and call him as soon as he had a fever.After giving instructions, he and Carlisle went out.

Seeing that Liu Chunjiang was exhausted, Carlisle felt a little worried about letting him go home by himself when he remembered what happened today.He thought for a while and said, "Xiao Jiang, just stay at my house for one night today."

Liu Chunjiang nodded, "Well, that's fine, I'm too tired to move, and I have to watch Brother Kong."

Carlisle heard that Liu Chunjiang was staying, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare the bedroom. Although he really wanted to sleep with Liu Chunjiang, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it, so he had to separate.

In fact, Carlisle can see that Liu Chunjiang has a good impression of him, but the problem of concept makes him not aware of this feeling. At this time, he confesses rashly, and the custody will scare him back into his shell, so all previous efforts will be wasted up.So, bear with the grievance now, Carlisle comforted himself like this.

all night

In the morning, Liu Chunjiang was worried about Kong Lifu, so he and Carlisle came in to check, and found that he also woke up.

"Brother Kong, how do you feel?" Liu Chunjiang asked with concern.

"Very good, thank you so much yesterday."

"It's okay, it's a matter of little effort." Carlisle shook his head and said.

Kong Lifu hesitated for a moment, remembering that his teacher trusted Carlisle very much, so he told them what happened yesterday: "My classmates and I were printing slogans for two days in the newspaper office, and suddenly a group of people rushed in, and the other classmates rushed in. I ran away, I was injured before I could run, if it weren't for you, I would have been caught by them."

At this moment, Carlisle thought of the recently signed treaty that humiliated the country, and he understood why they were there. He thought of the Yao family, and asked, "Does Uncle Yao know?"

Kong Lifu nodded after listening, "The teacher has always supported us, but I didn't expect them to be like this."

Regarding the events of the past few days, Liu Chunjiang also shook his head in disappointment.He said worriedly: "Brother Kong, you are still being arrested outside, what are you going to do?"

"I want to hide in another place first." Kong Lifu thought for a while and said.

"Then why don't you go to Shanghai with us in two days, and we're going to visit Uncle Yao's pharmaceutical factory." Liu Chunjiang looked at Carlisle and nodded in agreement, and said happily.

Kong Lifu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

To say that Carlisle is so enthusiastic, on the one hand, he is happy to see Liu Chunjiang, and on the other hand, he has taken a fancy to Kong Lifu's character and ability to run a newspaper. If he wants to awaken the Chinese people, the newspaper is the most important tool. Good talents must not be let go.

So, for the past few days, Kong Lifu stayed at Carlisle's house to recuperate.
