Suddenly, system notification sounds rang out one after another, crisp and loud.

Ding! The host's wife, Lou Xiao'e, is rewarded with extraordinary fortune.
Zhang Lei listened to the continuous system notifications in his mind. This sudden wave of rewards caught him off guard.
While these rewards would normally be quite generous, they seem rather ordinary compared to the time when the three Ye sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, gave birth to nine children at the same time. After all, the system multiplied the rewards ten thousandfold that time; these are just regular childbirth rewards.
However, Zhang Lei also knew in his heart that the system was truly humane this time. Ding Qiunan was a doctor, so she was rewarded with all-around Chinese medicine skills like Hua Tuo reincarnated; Lou Xiao'e came from a merchant family, so she was bestowed with divine wealth, as well as ten tons of gold, ten tons of silver and a thousand antiques. With this ability, she would naturally have no worries about money for the rest of her life.
Looking at the immense wealth and extraordinary abilities before him, Zhang Lei felt inexplicably lost, even vaguely feeling that he had lost his purpose. What difference is there between a person without a goal and a salted fish that just waits to die?
He quickly shook his head, dispelling the negative thoughts. No, he absolutely couldn't slack off like this. Since he was bound to the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system, he would set a small goal first—to have a hundred children and marry a hundred wives.
Zhang Lei secretly resolved that this wasn't out of lust, but rather a desire to find a safe haven for all the beautiful, helpless women in the world. He longed for countless mansions to shelter all the beauties of the world, so they could all rejoice. Thinking of this, he was even moved by his own willingness to sacrifice himself.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e exhausted, Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward to comfort her, gently kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Wife, you've worked hard."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Lei, her eyes reddening, and cried as she asked, "Husband, where are our children?"
Zhang Lei quickly called the nanny to bring the baby over, and said with a smile, "Look, here it is, it's a boy."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the child, then at Zhang Lei, and said with a smile, "A boy would be fine."
Zhang Lei said somewhat helplessly, "It would be even better if you had a daughter; all the kids in our family are boys."
Lou Xiao'e immediately objected, saying defiantly, "I just like boys."
Zhang Lei quickly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, boys are good. I like boys the most, and I like boys too."
Lou Xiao'e finally calmed down and looked at him, asking, "What's the child's name?"
Zhang Lei replied with a smile, "Didn't we agree beforehand that my name would be Zhang Chengde, meaning virtuous conduct and winning people over with virtue?"
Lou Xiao'e nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Not long after, Zhang Lei sat between two hospital beds, Lou Xiao'e on the left and Ding Qiunan on the right. Looking at the two sleeping soundly, he smiled gently, carefully covered them with blankets, and then instructed the nanny to take the two babies out so that their crying would not wake them from their rest.
This action left the two nannies looking at each other, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
In less than half a day, the group drove back to courtyard house number 90. When the people in the courtyard saw Ding Qiunan and Lou Xiao'e returning with their child, they all gathered around to greet them and inquire about their health and the child's condition.
Although natural childbirth naturally leads to a faster recovery, with the added bonus from the system, both of their bodies have already fully recovered, their functions are like those of an eighteen-year-old, and they will be able to maintain this state forever.
Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, there was a knock at the gate. Someone had come to visit. Zhang Lei quickly opened the door and asked, puzzled, "Who are you?"
The man, dressed in a crisp military uniform, saluted Zhang Lei respectfully and asked, "Are you Comrade Zhang Lei?" Zhang Lei nodded. "Yes, that's me." Looking at their attire, he was puzzled and asked, "What do you need me for?"
One of the officers said, "We have found out that you are Comrade Zhang Tiande's only living relative. We have come here today to hand over his belongings to you."
Zhang Lei was stunned by these words and frowned, saying, "Zhang Tiande? I don't know this person." The officer calmly replied, "We have checked repeatedly; he is your distant cousin."
Zhang Lei was completely bewildered. He had never heard of such a cousin in his entire life. But when he received the belongings from the other party, he instantly understood—the deed to a three-courtyard house, one million yuan in cash, and a large number of banknotes and deposits.
Isn't this exactly what the system just rewarded him with? And it actually came to him in this way.
Zhang Lei immediately composed himself and asked with feigned grief, "My uncle... what happened to him?" The officer replied solemnly, "I'm sorry, we failed to protect him. He sacrificed himself for the country."
Zhang Lei accepted the martyr's certificate and solemnly thanked the two officers. When he returned to the courtyard with the documents and told everyone about this suddenly appearing distant cousin, everyone was astonished.
Lou Xiao'e pondered for a moment, then guessed, "My dear, your uncle must be a patriotic businessman." Zhang Lei asked, "How so?" Lou Xiao'e smiled and explained, "Think about it, how could an ordinary person have so much wealth? He must be a patriotic businessman with a substantial fortune."
Zhang Lei nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing. The people around him were even more astonished by this windfall, unable to close their mouths. They knew that even having ten thousand yuan was extremely rare at this time, let alone a million-yuan sum.
Just then, Ye Shuqin suddenly stared at the house number on the property deed and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, look!"
Zhang Lei looked down and saw it clearly written: No. 89 Nanluoguxiang, a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). He couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy crap!"
He quickly communicated with the system in his mind: "System, is this three-courtyard house real or fake? Who wouldn't be suspicious if it suddenly appeared?"
The system notification sounded immediately: Ding, this system is omnipotent.
Zhang Lei couldn't help but think to himself, "Suddenly having an extra three-courtyard house? Even a fool would think something's wrong!"
The system responded with a "ding": "It exists for a reason. This is a gift from the system. The host can use it with complete peace of mind. No one will doubt it."
Zhang Lei looked at his wives beside him, and sure enough, they were all very calm, and none of them had any doubts about the origin of this No. 89 three-courtyard house.
He immediately said to everyone, "Now that we have a new courtyard house, why don't we go and take a look together?" Everyone was overjoyed. To them, an extra courtyard house meant an extra substantial family fortune. Several pregnant women gently stroked their bulging bellies, filled with anticipation.
