Chapter 471: The 34th Child
Soon, under Zhang Lei's mental control, an exceptionally strong man with a muscular build appeared outside the Lou family's gate.
When Lou's father saw this man, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He felt that the man's mere presence exuded a strong sense of pressure and made him feel incredibly safe.
Zhang Lei coughed awkwardly twice. He had only asked the system to send an ordinary guard robot, but he hadn't expected the system to assign such an exaggerated appearance. However, upon further reflection, he figured that as long as it could protect Lou's parents, its appearance didn't matter.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past three days, Lou's father entrusted all the family property he couldn't take with him to Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei went to the basement and looked at the boxes of treasured antiques, paintings, calligraphy, gold, silver, and jade artifacts. He first frowned slightly, then couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy. With a wave of his hand, he stored everything into his personal storage space.
Watching Lou's parents leave, Lou Xiao'e could no longer hold back and burst into tears in Zhang Lei's arms.
Zhang Lei gently patted her back to comfort her: "Don't cry. Two years will pass in the blink of an eye. We'll meet in Hong Kong in style then. Besides, if your parents don't leave now, they might not be able to leave in a few years."
Lou Xiao'e understood the implications, nodded with a choked voice, and said softly, "I know, but I just can't stop worrying about them."
"With the people I've arranged here, there's absolutely nothing to worry about," Zhang Lei said confidently.
Lou Xiao'e looked at him with some surprise: "Honey, where did you find this person? Is he reliable?"
Zhang Lei gave a thumbs up and assured him with a smile, "Don't worry, this person is absolutely loyal to me and trustworthy."
After Lou's parents passed away, Lou Xiao'e was depressed and sad for a long time. However, as time went by, and with the constant noise and commotion from her group of children, she gradually let go of her sorrow.
Ever since Ye Shuqin imposed the "six days on, one day off" rule on Zhang Lei, he's been too lazy to go out and spends all his time at home focusing on "making babies." He occasionally touches his lower back and sighs to himself, thinking that if it weren't for the excellent physical condition the system gave him, with so many wives, he'd probably have died young long ago. No wonder emperors in ancient times mostly died young; even if there weren't three thousand concubines, a hundred or so would be enough to completely drain a person's energy.
Before we knew it, it was 1964.
Outside the hospital delivery room, Zhang Lei paced anxiously back and forth.
The woman in the delivery room was Ye Shuqin. After several years of hard work, Ye Shuqin was finally pregnant again, and this time, it was a daughter.
This will be Zhang Lei's thirty-fourth child.
Over the years, Zhang Lei has never stopped working, and his wives have given birth one after another:
Yu Haitang gave birth to her fourteenth son, Zhang Chengzhang, and her twenty-sixth son, Zhang Chengjia;
He Yushui gave birth to her fifteenth son, Zhang Chengyou, and her twenty-seventh son, Zhang Chengjing.
Yang Maixiang gave birth to her sixteenth son, Zhang Chengyan, and her twenty-eighth son, Zhang Chengrui;
He Wenhui gave birth to her seventeenth son, Zhang Chengtai, and her twenty-ninth son, Zhang Chengpu;
He Wenyuan had two sons: his eighteenth son, Zhang Chengkai, and his thirtieth son, Zhang Chenghan.
Han Chunyan gave birth to her nineteenth son, Zhang Chengxin, and her thirty-first son, Zhang Chengzhe;
Su Meng gave birth to her twentieth son, Zhang Chengren, and her thirty-second son, Zhang Chenghao;
Guan Xiaoguan gave birth to her twenty-second son, Zhang Chengxun, and her thirty-third son, Zhang Chengqi;
Lou Xiao'e gave birth to her twenty-first son, Zhang Chengwen;
Ding Qiunan gave birth to her twenty-third son, Zhang Chengbo;
Chen Xueru gave birth to her twenty-fourth son, Zhang Chengcheng;
Yu Li gave birth to her twenty-fifth son, Zhang Chengheng.
They were all sons.
When Guan Xiaoguan gave birth to her thirty-third son, Zhang Lei was heartbroken, thinking he was destined to never have a daughter. Unexpectedly, after having nine sons in a row, the three sisters Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, who had been unable to conceive for many years, finally broke the deadlock with Ye Shuqin becoming pregnant with a daughter.
Fortunately, Zhang Lei had the foresight to hire thirty-six nannies at once, who lived at his home. With thirty-three sons, one nanny per month left three sons to care for. Now, finally welcoming his long-awaited baby girl, how could Zhang Lei not be anxious and overjoyed?
With each son born, the system showered him with rewards, sparing no expense whatsoever.
Zhang Lei receives a $100 million reward for each son he gives birth to.
With just his thirty-three sons, there were $3.3 billion lying in the space, not to mention the large amount of gold and antique treasures stored in the space.
In addition to money, each son also received a uniform reward:
- Comprehensive enhancement of physical functions
- Intelligence is directly raised to over 180
The rewards given to the wives were so numerous they were dazzling.
The most practical and pleasing reward for women was a uniform one:
All the wives' physical functions will remain at their peak at eighteen years old, with youthful appearance, abundant energy, and excellent physique.
In addition, Zhang Lei's wives were also endowed with top-notch talents in their respective fields by the system, each managing their own area and fulfilling their duties, perfectly supporting the overall situation of the family, both inside and out:
- Ye Shuqin: Educational Ability
- Ye Shuqi: Military Capabilities
- Ye's calligraphy and painting: cultural competence
Lou Xiao'e: Agricultural Capacity
- Ding Qiunan: Medical ability
- Chen Xueru: Financial Capacity
- Guan Xiaoguan: Security Capabilities
- Su Meng: Research Capabilities
- He Yushui: Industrial Capacity
- He Wenhui: Water Conservancy Capacity
- Ho Man-yuen: Diplomatic Capabilities
- Yu Haitang: Ecological and Environmental Protection Capabilities
- Yu Li: Business Ability
- Han Chunyan: Transportation Capacity
- Yang Maixiang: Personnel Management Skills
Each of the fifteen individuals possesses a top-tier specialty. As for the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, why do they each have an additional unique ability?
Zhang Lei was unaware of this until the number of children exceeded thirty, at which point the system triggered a hidden reward: for every ten offspring, he could choose one top-tier ability to bestow upon any of his wives.
This is why, in addition to their original specialties, the three Ye sisters also received extra abilities from the system.
Zhang Lei paced anxiously back and forth outside the delivery room, and his wives, seeing this, gathered around him.
Lou Xiao'e, with her pregnant belly, couldn't help but complain, "Husband, please stop spinning me. It's making me dizzy."
Ding Qiunan calmly reassured her, "Honey, don't worry. They have the best doctors inside. This isn't Shuqin's first time giving birth; she'll be fine."
Chen Xueru gently put her arm around his: "Honey, sit down and rest for a bit."
Yu Li also handed him a water glass at the right time, so that he could drink some water to calm his nerves.
Looking at his wives' tender care and concern, Zhang Lei felt a surge of warmth and gratitude. But he knew better than anyone that this pregnancy was different—not a son, but a daughter, his precious little girl whom he had longed for for so long.
Unable to contain his excitement, he silently called upon the system in his heart:
"System, my wife gave birth to a daughter this time. Will there be a special reward?"
