I also stopped by the logistics department and bought all of this month's food rations.

After working for several hours straight, Jiang Si was too lazy to move when she got home.

I was just about to lie down and rest for a while when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Hello, is anyone home?

"Here it comes!"

The moment she opened the door, Jiang Si froze.

Why did this person come to my house?

She remembered that the two of them didn't seem to have any interaction.

I was just about to ask, "What's up?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mei spoke first, saying, "Hello, Comrade Jiang. My name is Li Mei. We met once last month when we were having a physical examination at the military hospital."

"Oh, I remember you."

If this person hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Si would have almost forgotten something.

Li Mei clearly didn't remember. "Really?"

Jiang Si nodded: "You glared at me when you came out, which left a deep impression on me."

Li Mei: "..."

Does this person even know how to chat?

He gave an awkward laugh. "Comrade Jiang, you're joking."

After saying that, he quickly added, "I really didn't glare at you."

Whether she glared at him or not, Jiang Si knew in her heart and didn't care about it.

He said in a calm tone, "Is there something you need?"

Li Mei glanced at the small courtyard. "Can I come in and talk for a bit?"

"I'm sorry, the house is a mess right now, so it's not convenient to entertain guests."

Jiang Si's refusal was clear and her tone grew increasingly cold: "If you have nothing else, I'll get back to work now."

After saying that, she was about to close the door.

"Wait a moment--"

Li Mei pressed one hand against the door panel and, with a pleading tone, repeated the words she had just used to deceive those women.

Finally, she repeatedly assured him, "As soon as my man returns from his mission, I will pay you back immediately."

Although Jiang Si didn't know what she was planning, she instinctively disliked this person.

Three hundred yuan was just a drop in the ocean for her, but she just didn't want to lend it to her.

She has the confidence to not lend money if she doesn't want to.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of lending money to others. You should ask someone else."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Li Mei was so angry that she trembled all over.

Just then, Hu Meili came out for some fresh air and saw Li Mei standing at her best friend's door.

She frowned subconsciously. "Comrade Li, what do you need Commander Huo's wife for?"

"No... nothing's wrong."

Borrowing money is shameful enough; Li Mei didn't want to alert the other party.

He chuckled a few times and then slunk away.

"This person is really strange."

Hu Meili was thinking of going to her best friend's house to ask, but as soon as she took a step out, a wave of heat suddenly surged out.

"Wei Dong—"

"Weimin————"

Upon hearing the noise, the two brothers rushed out of the house and found Hu Meili standing motionless with a wet patch on the ground.

The younger child blurted out, "Mom, what's wrong with you...?"

Sensing that his younger brother wouldn't say anything nice, the eldest brother immediately interrupted him.

"Go quickly and call Dad, tell him that your little sister is about to be born—"
