The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6829

The Wu family has many heirs, which is why they need to limit the number of concubines. Even with all their branches, there aren’t enough partners for everyone to marry freely.

The collateral family holds little status, and married daughters-in-law have even less power. They usually stay quiet if their husbands want to take more wives.

Now that Song Ruyu, known as the golden phoenix, has emerged from the Song family, Wu Shutong sees her in a new light. He wants to strengthen the ties between their families, giving the Song family more respect and resources. This will help elevate the status of the daughters-in-law and turn their relationship from one of master and servant to true in-laws. This shift will be beneficial for building strong family bonds.

Feeling optimistic, Wu Shutong reflected, “It would be remarkable for Youjun Dudufu to have a genius like Ruyu. Once someone understands the Tao, they can live for hundreds of years, and Ruyu’s future could be extraordinary. If she can match or even surpass the three elders, it would greatly benefit our family. Even though Yingzhu is our ancestor, with so many heirs, she won’t show us favor. But Ruyu is different; if she becomes a great talent, we will reap direct rewards.”

The four former earls already receive elixirs from Wu Feiyan regularly. These elixirs help improve their cultivation or aura. For those yet to learn the Tao, they can extend life and rejuvenate. Song Ruyu will surely receive similar, if not better, treatment in the future, as Wu Feiyan tends to support the heirs who hold promise.

Wu Shutong held an important position in the Wu family, but he wanted more than just power. If the other four governors could get their hands on an elixir that promised a lifespan of 120 years, Wu Shutong didn’t want to settle for living just to 103.

However, if Song Ruyu was willing to help, all he needed to do was secretly give Wu Shutong some special pills. With those, Wu Shutong could live to 150 years or even longer.

Yuan Chengze, who was nearby, understood what Wu Shutong was thinking. He quickly added, “Song Qianshi was very respectful to you, Governor. I believe she knows how to repay kindness. Since you treat her family well, she’ll definitely remember your support if she succeeds in her future plans!”

Wu Shutong laughed heartily, “Hahaha, that would be wonderful!”

He then continued to himself, “I should call Ruyu and ensure she takes good care of this fortunate general. Once she completes her task, I’ll let her take a month off as a reward for her hard work in supervising the army. She can go back to the Song family and spend time with them.”

Meanwhile, at Duke Mining in Morocco, heavy mining machinery from Liebherr was working at full speed. Massive trucks, each capable of carrying over 300 tons, were moving back and forth in the phosphate mining areas, kicking up clouds of white dust on the ground.

Charlie Wade watched the enormous trucks, which were almost three stories tall, and felt a twinge of envy. If he could take these trucks to Syria to help Wanlong Temple build a base and solid defenses, it would make the job much easier. With a few of these trucks, Hamid could easily level some hills within the base.

Charlie also knew that these mining trucks would eventually be used up.

In two days, Charlie Wade would have to leave and he knew he couldn’t take them with him. If he wanted to, he could just buy a new batch and send them to the Middle East.

Song Ruyu stood nearby, feeling helpless. Though she was afraid to run away from Charlie, she certainly didn’t want to be forced by him. She worried about what would happen if he took her away. If the Qing Hui thought he was a traitor, it could spell disaster for her people. Losing their biggest supporter could make changing their fate feel impossible.

Just when despair filled her heart, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

She glanced at Charlie, about to say something, but he spoke first. “Is that a phone call?”

Song Ruyu nodded and replied respectfully, “Yes, it seems so.”

“Take it out and see who it is. I’ll let you answer it,” Charlie instructed.

“Yes…” she said and pulled out her special mobile phone. When she saw the name “Grand Governor” on the screen, she quickly told Charlie, “Mr. Ye, it’s Grand Governor Wu Shutong.”

“Put it on speaker and answer. If he asks, just say everything is normal. But be warned, if you try any tricks, you could endanger over ten thousand soldiers, knights, and their families. If that happens, I will hold you responsible,” Charlie warned sternly.

With a serious expression, Song Ruyu quickly assured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. I know what to say.”

“Okay,” Charlie nodded. “Go ahead.”

Song Ruyu pressed the answer button, activated the speakerphone, and said,

Into the phone, Wu Shutong asked, “Grand Governor, what are your orders for your team?”

Wu Shutong smiled and said, “Song Qianshi, I called to check on how your preparations for the big blood transfusion are going.”

Song Ruyu replied, “Everything is ready! We will start the first batch of blood transfusions on time in two days. You can count on us, Commander-in-Chief!”

Wu Shutong smiled again, “I know I can trust you, Song Qianshi. I wanted to let you know that once this major blood exchange is done successfully, you can return to the Governor’s Mansion to report to your colleagues. After that, you’ll have a month off to go see your family. You’ve been away for two years, and I believe you haven’t gone back home, right?”
