This woman is named Zhou Qingqing. She is a member of the cultural troupe. She and Dong Yue are from the same hometown and were classmates from elementary school to junior high school.

She had feelings for Dong Yue since junior high school. At that time, they were both young and she didn't have a clear understanding of love. In addition, Dong Yue always had a cold attitude, so she kept her feelings to herself.

After graduation, Dong Yue joined the army, and she also joined the army. Unfortunately, they were not in the same military region and had no contact with each other.

She originally planned that if she met a male comrade in the military region who was more outstanding than Dong Yue, she would leave Dong Yue and start a relationship with that man.

Three years have passed. He tried to find a partner based on Dong Yue's example, but he was always too picky and couldn't find anyone suitable. So he thought of Dong Yue again.

Just as she was about to ask her family about Dong Yue's specific division, Dong Yue was transferred here. Soon after, she met Dong Yue here. Dong Yue was familiar with her but also somewhat distant, treating her only as a fellow villager.

Fearing that Dong Yue might fall for other girls here, she decided to confess her feelings to him without hesitation.

However, when she boldly confessed her feelings to Dong Yue, he rejected her.

After that, Dong Yue was always cold to her whenever he saw her. He was not enthusiastic towards her either, and he was equally unenthusiastic towards other girls.

But when she saw Dong Yue chatting and laughing with Lin Qingyan, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be that Dong Yue likes Lin Qingyan, a married woman?

Lin Qingyan is beautiful. She can hardly think of anyone more beautiful than Lin Qingyan here. Moreover, Lin Qingyan killed a wild boar a couple of days ago and was given the title of heroine by the soldiers. She also sang so well on stage just now and made another appearance. She can be said to be both talented and beautiful.

He had just heard a soldier say that Lin Qingyan was the most outstanding female comrade he had ever met.

This kind of woman is very attractive to men, so it's not surprising that Dong Yue would like her.

Even if Lin Qingyan is outstanding, she's already married. She wants to see just how far Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan can go.

If she discovers that the two of them are having an affair, she will immediately report it and have their superiors punish them.

Dong Yue, it's not that I'm deliberately going against you, you only have yourself to blame for being so indiscreet.

You can like anyone, but why do you have to like a married woman?

Isn't it wonderful to be a virgin?

The next day, Lu Zhengting went to work after breakfast. Lin Qingyan threw his and her own dirty clothes into the fully automatic washing machine in her space. After washing, she took them out and hung them to dry in the yard.

After she finished hanging up the clothes, Sister Zhang came to ask her to accompany her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Lin Qingyan's family had nothing to lack; she simply wanted to go out for a walk, so she took a basket and prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with Sister Zhang.

As they passed Yang Qiuyue's house, Zhang's wife called out to Yang Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, you're going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things."

"Okay," Yang Qiuyue agreed and came out with her basket.

Lin Qingyan wasn't sure if Yang Qiuyue would call Lin Sisi, or if Lin Sisi would follow them on her own after seeing them, without needing to be called.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Aunt Zhang say to Yang Qiuyue, "If you pass by Gu Mingzhou's house and see that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, don't call out to them. That Aunt Gu is a gossip, so let's not let them cause any more trouble."

Yang Qiuyue didn't dislike Lin Sisi, but she found Gu's mother too annoying.

“Okay.” She nodded. “Let’s not call them. We’ll hurry over when we pass by their house.”

"Um."

However, before they even reached Gu Mingzhou's house, as they passed a small family compound, they suddenly heard heart-wrenching screams and commotion coming from inside.

"Ahhh, I can't live anymore! Ahhh, it hurts so much! Will I still be able to give birth to this baby?"

"Xiuyun, just hang in there, it will pass."

"But the baby just won't come out, and my stomach hurts so much. I feel like I'm going to die."

Lin Qingyan was all too familiar with these sounds; it was another case of a woman experiencing difficulties giving birth. She had seen far too many such situations in both her past and present lives.

The three of them stopped in front of the house. Zhang's wife said, "It's Company Commander Sun's wife who's about to give birth. Look at how loudly she's screaming. Could something have happened?"

At that time, due to the backward medical and health conditions, many people were unwilling to go to the hospital to give birth because of money, and the phenomenon of difficult labor was very common.

They peeked inside from the doorway of Company Commander Sun's house and saw an old woman rushing out of the house in a panic. She scooped up a handful of dirt from the ground and muttered, "Oh dear, it's just having a baby. It's not like you haven't had babies before. Look at you acting like you're going to die."

After scooping out the dirt, he quickly ran back into the house.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing scream came from inside the house again.

"No, no, I can't do it! What should I do? I can't give birth! Who can help me? Waaah, who can help me and my baby?"

Lin Qingyan subconsciously lifted her foot to go in. She said to Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue, "Sisters, the woman giving birth inside is having trouble. Let's go in and see if we can help her."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

Once the three of them were inside, the woman's cries grew louder and sharper, rising higher and higher, as if they could lift the roof off.

"Ahhh~ No! I don't want to give birth anymore! It hurts too much! Mom, take me to the hospital! Take me to the hospital! I can't give birth by myself! I'm in so much pain!"
