Upon hearing this, Liu Lanxiang could no longer hold back and raised her hand to slap her daughter a few times.

"How could I have given birth to such a wicked child? If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you back then."

Seeing that Liu Lanxiang was really angry, Lan Yuzhu's sleepiness lessened considerably. She sat up impatiently and said, "Mom, if you keep hitting me, I won't be responsible if something really happens."

Liu Lanxiang snorted: "If you dare not do anything, then all the things in the house will go to your brother and sister. Don't say I'm biased then, and don't come home and make a scene."

Lan Yuzhu wanted to say, "If you want to give it, then give it. Do you think I'd even bother with your meager possessions?"

However, she suddenly remembered what Lan Jiaojiao had told her before.

She said that her Lan family was very wealthy, even though their two families had separated.

However, the Lan family was used to having multiple burrows.

Based on her understanding of her own father, Lan Yuzhu felt that her father must have hidden a lot of good things at home.

So she swallowed back the tough words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She threw back the covers, got out of bed, and shook her mother's arm, pouting, "Oh, Mom, why are you angry with me? You know I've been in a bad mood lately because of this little devil in my belly. So please don't be angry, okay?"

Liu Lanxiang snorted. No one knew her daughter's character better than she did.

Selfish, callous, and utterly heartless, she didn't even know how she had given birth to such a thing.

"Okay. Sit down now. Don't complain that I'm making things difficult for you again."

"Alright, Mom, tell me what happened in our family."

Liu Lanxiang didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Our house was burgled."

"Oh, it was burgled? What was stolen?" Lan Yuzhu hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, thinking that the burglary was a minor matter.

“They’re all gone. All of them.” Liu Lanxiang emphasized her words when she saw that her youngest daughter didn’t understand.

Lan Yuzhu blinked, and it took her a while to react. Her face changed, and she stood up, asking with a trembling voice, "Mom, you mean, everything? Everything is gone?"

"Yes. Otherwise, why do you think I was in such a hurry to come and ask you for help?"

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

"Stop nagging. I'm just asking you, can you ask your son-in-law for help?"

Lan Yuzhu clutched her chest, her face pale, and said in a harsh tone, "What help can a soldier like him offer?"

Just then, the door to the house was opened from the outside, and Wang Lei's mellow voice rang out: "Yuzhu, are you up yet? Didn't you want to eat apples yesterday? I had the logistics department buy some from outside."

A tall, extremely handsome man walked in from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he didn't pay any attention to Liu Lanxiang standing in the bedroom.

"Mom, you're here."

Liu Lanxiang gave an awkward "hmm" and gestured to her youngest daughter to speak quickly.

Lan Yuzhu pretended not to see it, but covered her nose and said with a look of disgust, "Why didn't you take a shower first when you came back? You know I feel like throwing up when I smell this."

Wang Lei was already used to Lan Yuzhu's reaction. He sighed and said, "I just wanted to bring back what you wanted to eat first! Otherwise, you'll complain that I don't put you first again."

Lan Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Look, this is the man she trained; now this good man is hers.

"I understand. Go take a shower first."

"Okay. What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Without a second thought, Lan Yuzhu said, "I don't want to eat in the cafeteria. I want to eat what you make for me."

Wang Lei hesitated for a moment: "I don't have time today, I need to go back to training early this afternoon."

Lan Yuzhu snorted, "I'm carrying your child. I'm suffering terribly because of this wretched child. Now I want to eat my husband's cooking, but he refuses to cook for me. In that case, I might as well starve to death."

Liu Lanxiang watched from the side, feeling that her daughter had gone too far.

Her son-in-law's job is so important, it's not a big deal, why does she have to make him cook?

However, upon hearing this, Wang Lei thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Alright then. I'll make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch, and also a hot and sour shredded potato salad."

"It's hot and sour shredded potatoes again. Can't it be something else?"

"We only have potatoes left at home. I didn't have time to ask someone to buy groceries today."

Liu Lanxiang couldn't stand it anymore: "Son-in-law, don't listen to her, that's enough. How can she be so delicate?"

After she finished speaking, she gave Lan Yuzhu a warning look.

Lan Yuzhu also knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, so after hearing her mother's words, she readily agreed to the alternative.

She tugged at Wang Lei's arm: "Honey, you know me. I wasn't always like this. But ever since I got pregnant, my temper has gotten worse. So please don't be angry, okay?"

Wang Lei patted her head: "I know. I know you better than anyone. You once..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yuzhu's expression changed, a hint of gloom and hatred flashing in her eyes. She interrupted Wang Lei, "Honey, go take a shower first. You still need to cook lunch for me, otherwise we won't have enough time."

Wang Lei sighed. Every time he tried to reminisce about the past, Yu Zhu became increasingly unwilling to listen and would interrupt him each time.

He mumbled, "...I understand."

He turned to leave, but Liu Lanxiang was a little anxious and was about to call out to Wang Lei.

Lan Yuzhu quickly said, "Mom, could you pour me a glass of hot water?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei said, "I'll pour it for you."

"No need, honey, you go take a shower first. Be good! I'll have my mom pour it for me."

Wang Lei had no choice but to leave first.

After Wang Lei left, Liu Lanxiang said angrily, "What was wrong with you just now? Why wouldn't you let me say anything?"

"What do you want me to say? Are you going to tell Wang Lei that our family used to be capitalists and had a lot of good stuff hidden away, and that everything we had hidden away was stolen yesterday? Do you think Wang Lei would still want to be with me after that?"

“Capitalist?” Liu Lanxiang was terrified. She was so scared that she wanted to cover her daughter’s mouth. “What capitalist? How can you talk nonsense like that? Our family were just ordinary servants. Later, we were freed from slavery and became ordinary people. Now we are just ordinary workers.”

Lan Yuzhu pursed her lips: "You can only fool outsiders with that. But now is not the time to talk about that. Are you saying that all our family's things disappeared without a trace?"

"Yes. Didn't I just say that the police came to my house but didn't find anything? Otherwise, why would I have come to you for help?"

Lan Yuzhu hesitated for a moment: "Wang Lei can't help with this kind of thing."

Liu Lanxiang suddenly felt dejected and muttered to herself, "What should I do?"

"However, I do know someone in the military compound who might be able to help us."
