Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 After milking my biological father and my elder brother, now it’s time to milk my father-in-law’s wool!

“Wentai, brother! Good news, huge news!”

“Zimo, brother! What’s the good news that excites you so much?”

In a teahouse in Shanghai, two scholarly men wearing glasses seemed to have discovered something incredible.

One of them was holding a copy of Shencheng Business Report and pointed to the headline on the front page.

“Look! The second son of General Feng, Zhang Xueming, wants to invest 100,000 silver dollars to establish Northeast University!”

“I didn’t expect a warlord’s son to have such awareness!”

“I want to go to the Northeast and become a teacher, to build the country through education!”

Since Yuan Shikai seized the throne and declared himself emperor, the country had been silent. Everyone believed the revolution had failed.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone proposed to build the country through education. This greatly moved this scholar. However, looking at his excited friend’s trembling hands, his companion’s mouth twitched.

“Zimo, brother, don’t get too excited… Look at the small print at the bottom of this advertisement.”

Small print?

There was a small print after the job advertisement?

The scholar pushed his thick glasses up his nose and carefully looked at the end of the article in the newspaper. Sure enough, at the very bottom of the lengthy job ad, he saw three lines of tiny writing.

“Teacher requirements—female, aged 18-22, elegant appearance, graceful temperament, fluent in foreign languages, in good health with no diseases!”

“Those who meet the requirements will have their round-trip travel expenses paid by Zhang Xueming of Fengtian, and if unsuccessful in the interview, they will receive 1000 yuan as a labor fee.”

“Note: The final interpretation rights for this recruitment belong to Zhang Xueming of Fengtian.”

???

???

“Shameless! Shameless!”

At this moment, the previously excited scholar felt his anger rise. He quickly tore the newspaper into pieces, then angrily threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times!

“What kind of job recruitment is this?”

“This is clearly a beauty pageant!”

“It’s already the Republic of China! How dare he turn history backwards!”

“I! I’m going to write an article to scold him! I’m going to write an article to ruin him!”

…

“Northeast donkey husband! Northeast donkey husband!”

“Zhang Xueming, a leftover from the Manchu Qing Dynasty!”

Not just him.

At this time, scholars across the country, who were down on their luck, also joined in the cursing!

Why!

Why is it that only women can apply to your university?

Why are you offering 1000 yuan as a labor fee?

And why is it that we can’t even get it?

Scold him!

We must write an article to ruin him!

Just as Zhang Xueming expected.

Although Xiaoliu, who had received his draft job ad, dared not release it directly, he revised it. He especially deleted the line that said, “Those with large hips, who enjoy a big family life and don’t like to compete with others, will be preferred!”

Only then did he send it to various newspapers. But even so, this job ad still provoked countless scholars’ curses. For a time, Zhang Xueming, the Northeast donkey husband, became his new “elegant title!”

…

Meanwhile, in a Western-style apartment in Shanghai, two elegant women were staring blankly at the newspaper in their hands.

“Huimin, are you really going to the Northeast?”

“Why not? The pay is so good, and even if I don’t get the job, I’ll receive 1000 yuan for travel expenses.”

“Besides, I was born in Min County, Fujian, and I’ve never seen the northern snow!”

If Zhang Xueming were there, he would be very surprised. The woman speaking was none other than Lin Huiyin, one of the top ten talented women of the Republic of China.

Lin Huiyin, only 22 years old, had just returned from studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in the United States. She had received a high education, and whether in demeanor or appearance, she was extraordinary. Unfortunately, she was a woman.

As soon as she returned to the country, her father wanted to arrange a marriage for her. At the age of 22, she was considered an old maid in the eyes of many during the Republic of China era, although for modern people, she was still quite young.

Seeing Lin Huiyin so calm, her companion’s heart tightened. She looked around at the shabby furnishings in the apartment and seemed to think of something.

“Huimin, are you short on money? Did your father stop your living allowance because you didn’t go back home for the arranged marriage?”

“I still have some pocket money. Should I lend you some?”

That sentence hit the mark.

Lin Huiyin couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“We are both birds in a cage. Going to the Northeast is just me trying to survive!”

“I’ve already booked the boat ticket. I’ll leave tonight! I asked you here just to say goodbye!”

“Sister, after this, I don’t know when we’ll meet again!”

Seeing Lin Huiyin’s resolute expression, her companion smiled bitterly.

“My dear sister, looking at this job ad… this Zhang Xueming from the Northeast doesn’t seem like a good person!”

“You’ve just escaped a fire, and now you’re jumping straight into the dragon’s den!”

…

At this time, far away in Daqing, Zhang Xueming, living in a remote area, had no idea what was happening outside. He jumped down from Gu Ruiyu’s carriage and leisurely walked back to his wife Yu Fengzhi’s tent.

At this moment, looking at her husband’s worried expression, Yu Fengzhi, who was pregnant, couldn’t help but wonder.

“What’s wrong? Did the newly captured female opera singer upset you?”

She walked over with a bowl of chicken soup.

“Hubby, it’s cold in Daqing. Drink some chicken soup to warm up.”

“If something’s on your mind, you can tell me. Although I’m a woman, three heads are better than one, right?”

Zhang Xueming felt warmth in his heart. This big wife truly cared for him. He pulled her into his arms and finally confessed the issue about the lack of manpower and food.

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi instead smiled.

“Hubby, you’ve been working so hard these past few days, but you forgot something, didn’t you?”

Zhang Xueming was stunned.

Right!

Damn it!

Didn’t I have a father-in-law who’s the largest grain merchant in Northeast China!

Excited, he kissed his wife on the cheek.

“How did we forget? We’ve got a great wife!”

After milking my biological father, after milking my elder brother, now it’s time to milk my father-in-law’s wool!
