This could be a big deal. Let’s find a broad board to carry her to the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the director immediately called for people to find a board and blankets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also thought about Sister Wang being married for years, and heard the couple has been trying for a baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hope nothing goes wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the director glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The culprit, Sister Kong’s son, Dong Zi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned by the glare, Dong Zi was now staring at Jiang Cheng, eyeing her openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the director even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrade Hua, watch your son. If anything happens to Mr. Wang, he has to take responsibility!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Kong hurriedly ran over and tugged Dong Zi hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zi finally regained his senses, stubbornly saying, \"What does it have to do with me! She didn’t know how to walk properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng, comforting Sister Wang, lifted her head. Her pretty face made Dong Zi’s eyes shine even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This comrade doesn’t know how to speak, give his tongue to Da Huang, at least it can guard the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—a little bitch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zi uttered foul words, and Jiang Cheng calmly retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say casually, yet you’re eager to jump in and confirm your own identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Putting on a show of the difference between humans and dogs, after all, you speak no human words but bark cheerfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blindly bumped into someone, still accusing the victim, others learn to be despicable, you were born that way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Kong, don’t worry, Sister Wang’s treatment of you is clear to you. He’s your son; protecting him is your business. But now he bumped into Sister Wang, and is shouting without apology at our recycling station. I would like to ask, who gave him the face? Who gave him the courage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The questioning was strikingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recycling station director got fired up as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said! This is our recycling station, not your family’s kang, doing whatever you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people at the recycling station undoubtedly stood on Sister Wang’s side, Sister Kong was filled with guilt, not knowing what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the board was brought in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lid from a box, with palm-length edges around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people set up the blankets and carried Sister Wang towards the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng naturally followed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the way, Jiang Cheng kept talking to distract Sister Wang, although it was of little effect, couldn’t do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Wang was pushed in for examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse came out and handed Jiang Cheng a fee slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go pay, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrade, inside, is the comrade Wang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pregnant, fortunately, you brought her in quickly without much jostling, saved the situation, but needs to be hospitalized for a few days, the pregnancy is unstable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng thanked, feeling slightly more at ease, indeed pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, no serious problems.\u003C\u002Fp>",1273,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.509Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f845bac47dc566a11b53e29d4d37930265d5f89c445da73479c0ac7578b4bad","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-27","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-25",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
