Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

A shrill alarm sounded throughout the military base. Commander Song and others rushed out. Seeing the Japanese attack at night, his face darkened and he picked up a rifle from the side.

"Warriors, when the invaders come, we will kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Fierce gunfire rang out and Commander Song quickly joined the battle.

When the news of the Battle of Marco Polo Bridge spread throughout all major newspapers in Shanghai, it was already the next day.

Shen Jinzhen felt a little worried when he read the news in the report. The Japanese army's evil ambitions were obvious, but Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to stabilize the country before fighting the enemy. If this continued, it would probably take many more lives to drive away and eliminate the Japanese army.

The confinement nanny and the cook also heard about this and started discussing it.

"If you ask me, we are just worrying too much. What does a fight in Beijing have to do with us? It's far away from here."

The confinement nanny didn't care at all. The two places were half the country apart, one in the south and the other in the north, and the impact wouldn't affect here at all.

Auntie had a different opinion, "But they are our people too. Even if they don't have relatives living there, they are still our compatriots."

After Shen Jinzhen heard the conversation between the two, he called the confinement nanny over.

"You've been with me for a while now. Now that the child is grown up, I'll settle your salary later. You don't have to come tomorrow."

Normally, a family will hire a confinement nanny for about three months and then dismiss her after the mother recovers from childbirth.

Shen Jinzhen paid a high salary, and when the confinement nanny didn't want to leave, she came to her and asked to stay for a few more days, so she did not fire her at that time.

After hearing what the confinement nanny said, Shen Jinzhen was unwilling to use her anymore, and immediately returned to the room to calculate her salary for this month.

The nanny panicked and followed him, begging, "Madam, please keep me for a while longer. There is war outside now, and it is difficult to find someone like me who can read."

As an old Shanghainese, Shen Jinzhen knows the situation in Shanghai better than this person.

Like my brother's live-in aunt, and the long-term servants of the major families, who are not literate and have good eyesight? It's just that this confinement nanny has never seen one.

"No, I can read and write, and I don't need you to read newspapers or letters to me."

After Shen Jinzhen fired the person, the aunt next to him was also a little panicked.

"Auntie, don't worry. I fired her because the child is older and I can take care of him better by myself. This will also help me build a better relationship with the child."

Shen Jinzhen smiled at the cook and comforted her.

She had different ideas from the confinement nanny and did not want her child to be influenced by her and become an egoist, so she did not stay any longer.

"Okay, I'll go cook first."

After hearing Shen Jinzhen’s explanation, the aunt walked into the kitchen and started cooking with peace of mind.

When Wei Ruolai came back in the evening, he was slightly surprised to see that only adults were at home. Before he asked, Shen Jinzhen had already told him about dismissing the confinement nanny.

"If she comes, the confinement nanny's ideas conflict with ours. I'll fire her. We'll have to worry more about the baby ourselves in the future."

Wei Ruolai guessed something and had no objection to it. He put down his bag, took off his coat, and talked to Shen Jinzhen about the hot topic outside today.

"The Japanese army launched an attack on the Nationalist Army at Marco Polo Bridge. This matter will not end so easily."

Combined with the photos they took last year, I'm afraid the Japanese side is still unwilling to give up and wants to destroy our country.
