Traveling through the Republic of China, a delicate girl opened a factory to make money and won a lo

Tang Baojun nodded, limped to the tea room and made a pot of tea.

Tang Baozhu lay on Gong Jinling's lap, looking at Qiu Hu who was sitting beside her.

"Mom and Dad, he is my lifesaver, he is a silkworm breeder in Sangxiang,"

Gong Jinling paused and subconsciously looked at Tang Zhengguo.

Tang Zhengguo nodded and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He looked strong and healthy, not like an ordinary rough man. He was polite and courteous to Tang Baozhu, and from the look in his eyes, he seemed to have a crush on Baozhu.

Tang Zhengguo was stunned for a moment. Tang Baozhu's reputation plummeted because of Zhou Yixin's incident and she became a laughing stock. Qiu Hu looked good. Although his qualifications were a little worse, he might be a talented person with great potential.

"Ah Hu, I heard you escaped from the war?"

Qiu Hu pursed his lips and said bluntly,

"Yes, I was originally the son of a butcher in the next town. Because the town was occupied by the Japanese invaders, in order to take back the town as soon as possible, I joined the army. After that, the army I followed was wiped out in a battle. Later, I drifted to Suhe Town. It was Miss Tang Er who gave me a way out by growing mulberry trees."

Tang Zhengguo nodded in satisfaction. Qiu Hu spoke straightforwardly, neither servile nor overbearing, and was honest. One could tell at a glance that he had no evil intentions.

Moreover, soldiers are very patriotic. When they speak, their eyes are firm, just like a sharp sword, strong and resolute, with a warm edge. If they are polished, they will definitely show their sharpness. Such men can't be too bad.

"I see. Since you saved Tang Baozhu, you are the benefactor of our Tang family. I will find him a position in the factory. He looks strong and can do a lot of work."

Qiu Hu refused without even thinking about it.

"You're welcome, Master Tang. I'm just repaying the kindness of Miss Tang Er."

Tang Zhengguo was even more satisfied now. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not seek to repay a favor.

"That's right. You'll be doing rough work in the factory. You were a soldier before, so you know some martial arts and are strong. I want you to work by Baozhu's side and protect her safety."

Gong Jinling's face suddenly fell, and she looked at Tang Zhengguo in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? It's not good for a man and a woman to be alone together."

Tang Zhengguo winked and Gong Jinling immediately understood what he meant.

Gong Jinling then looked at Qiu Hu, only to see that he was sitting upright, and did not look like a treacherous person. He was strong and handsome, a hundred times stronger than Zhou Yixin. It was not impossible for him to stay with Baozhu, in case he fell in love with Baozhu.

She paused, retracting her sharp tone.

"You have to ask him for his opinion."

Qiu Hu's expression eased slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Gong Jinling paused for a moment.

"Baozhu, what do you think?"

Having the future governor of Shanghai as his bodyguard was something he would never dare to dream of. However, Qiu Hu was in trouble at this time. If he was really promoted and had a good relationship with him, it would definitely not be too bad to have this big boss protecting him in the future.

Tang Baozhu's tone became more polite.

"Excuse me, Brother Qiu, are you willing to follow me? You don't have to do anything, just protect people's safety. I will pay you, five dollars a month. If you are not satisfied, you can raise the price."

Tang Baozhu danced with excitement. She had a bright future ahead of her if she could establish a good relationship with the future commander-in-chief.

Instead, Qiu Hu was stunned.

"Ms. Tang...Second Miss Tang, you should just call me Ah Hu."

Tang Baozhu's eyes sparkled.

"How about it? Are you willing?"

Qiu Hu's dark face slowly turned red again. He lowered his head.

"Miss Tang Er has done me a favor. As long as Miss Tang Er asks, I will do anything for her."

"In that case, so be it."

"I can work for Miss Tang Er for free."

Tang Baozhu paused. The original owner had done a good thing. At least his kind act had won over such a good boss.

"Then it's settled. You will work with me from now on, and I will never treat you unfairly."

"okay."

Tang Baozhu grinned at Qiu Hu.

"Ah Hu, you are brave and resourceful. One day you will make a name for yourself. Raising silkworms in obscurity in Sang Township will bury you. Of course, following me is not the best way out, but I will do my best to not let you suffer. So whenever there is a better future, I will never stop you."

Qiu Hu waved his hands in panic.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tang Er. Following you is the best way out. It is much better than raising silkworms in Sangxiang and living one day hungry and one day full."

Tang Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction. If he kept him by his side, he could observe his character and behavior. If he was really qualified, it would be a happy event to accept him as his son-in-law.

"I think Ah Hu is pretty good. We are all grateful to him today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Let me ask the housekeeper to help you clear out a room on the first floor. You don't have to work, just protect the orb."

Qiu Hu nodded solemnly.

"I will definitely protect Miss Tang Er."

The next day,

After a night's rest, her headache was no longer so severe. Gong Jinling helped her change the bandage, packed up the medicine box, and brought her some thick, steaming Tremella soup from the kitchen.

Tang Baozhu held the lotus seed and white fungus soup in her hand, sniffed it, squinted her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you, mother."

Tang Baojun on the side looked on anxiously, wondering why his sister was treated so well when everyone else was injured.

"Mom, I want one too!"

Gong Jinling glared at him.

"Go get it yourself,"

"Mom, I am also injured. Why do you only give my sister the lotus seed and white fungus soup? I want it too."

Tang Baozhu picked up the soup spoon and stirred the Tremella soup in the bowl.

"Your foot has been injured for several days. It's not healed yet?"

Tang Baojun moved his ankle and it was indeed almost healed. Even so, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

His mother favors girls over boys, so he suspected that he was the son of a different family.

"Oh my, you're still feeling wronged. Look at how stingy you are. Here, I'll give it to you."

Tang Baozhu handed the bowl and spoon to Tang Baojun.

Tang Baojun swallowed his saliva.

"Really?"

Before she could reach out to catch it, a slap appeared out of nowhere and hit Tang Baojun on the back of the head. Gong Jinling untied her apron.

"You are so grown up, but you are still acting like a child, snatching food from your sister."

Tang Baojun shrank his neck.

"No, my sister loves me."

"Go get it yourself, don't force me to beat you up."

Tang Baojun then walked towards the kitchen reluctantly.

Tang Baojun had just gotten up and went to the kitchen when Qin Ruorong rushed in in a rage. Tang Baozhu was holding a spoon, and before she could put the spoonful of lotus seed and white fungus soup into her mouth,

Qin Ruorong suddenly threw herself into her arms.

"Baozhu, I'm so scared. This is all my fault. If anything happens to you, I can only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to atone for your sins for the rest of my life."
