"Comrade Ye, please take a look at her quickly."

Ye Zhaozhao looked down on Aunt Qi, but now she's worried, even though she had warned her before.

What did you feed her?

"I didn't eat anything."

Aunt Qi refused to admit that she had forced her daughter-in-law to take the abortion-changing pills, and Ye Zhaozhao turned to leave.

Aunt Qi, fearing trouble, had no choice but to admit it and took the "gender-changing pill".

Ye Zhaozhao first stopped the bleeding, and then spoke to Aunt Qi.

"Take her to the hospital, she's about to give birth."

Aunt Qi quickly went to find the soldiers in the compound to help take the person to the hospital.

She and Ye Zhaozhao followed, Ye Zhaozhao going to explain the situation to the doctor.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ye Zhaozhao explained the pregnant woman's condition to the doctor, and she was then taken to the delivery room.

Even at this hour, Aunt Qi was still muttering to herself.

"I must have a son, I must have a son."

Ye Zhaozhao was speechless. Now that the person had been delivered, what happened afterward was no longer her concern.

Before she could even leave the hospital, a man called out to her.

"Zhao Zhao? You are Zhao Zhao?"

Ye Zhaozhao looked at the man and realized she didn't recognize him. Just as she was about to leave, the man stopped her, surprised to find her here.

“Zhao Zhao, I’m Ding Zhize. We used to live in the same courtyard.”

Ye Zhaozhao thought about it carefully and realized that she did recognize him. Ding Zhize looked at Ye Zhaozhao.

I never imagined she had changed so much; she used to be just a naive young girl.

She's grown into such a beautiful young woman, and look at the clothes she's wearing.

I knew she was doing very well; everyone in the courtyard had said so before.

Ye Zhaozhao likes Ding Zhize, and even he himself thinks so.

He wouldn't have really considered Ye Zhaozhao before, but now he might consider it.

"Zhaozhao, I'd like to treat you to dinner. It's not easy for us to meet."

Ye Zhaozhao saw through Ding Zhize's intentions and refused with a cold face.

"No, my husband and children are waiting for me at home."

After saying that, Ye Zhaozhao turned and left, leaving Ding Zhize heartbroken. He had previously wanted to marry Ye Zhaozhao.

His family disagreed, so he didn't insist.

When he met her again, he was surprised to find that she was already married and had children. Ding Zhize didn't have time to think too much about it.

Then a woman walked towards him.

"Zhize, what are you standing there for?"

"It's nothing, let's go."

When Ye Zhaozhao returned home, Lin Yan went to the kitchen to heat up her meal; the pork rib and kelp soup was very delicious.

The ribs were so tender they practically fell off the bone, and Ye Zhaozhao devoured several pieces in one go.

"Is Aunt Qi's daughter-in-law alright?"

Zhu Lin asked, as she had a good relationship with Aunt Qi's daughter-in-law.

She was the only one in the entire compound who could talk to her, but unfortunately, she had an unreasonable mother-in-law like Aunt Qi.

Even though she was pregnant, they made her take random medications. Then she thought of Lin Yanke, who treated her well regardless of whether she had a son or a daughter. Zhu Lin once again sighed that she was lucky.

"If you can give birth smoothly, everything will be fine, but the baby is not full-term."

Zhu Lin thought she would bring some things to visit Ye Zhaozhao later. After Ye Zhaozhao had eaten and drunk her fill, she went back to her room.

These days, Gu Yunduan has been playing chess with Grandpa Gu.

Because Gu Yunduan wins every time, Old Master Gu hasn't been unhappy these past few days.

He couldn't help but laugh just thinking about how furious those old guys looked.

When Gu Yunduan returned home in the evening, after dinner and a shower, he went back to his room and hugged Ye Zhaozhao. Knowing what he wanted to do, Ye Zhaozhao pushed him away without hesitation.

"That's gone."

Ye Zhaozhao already has five children, and she doesn't want to have any more. Gu Yunduan wondered if he had used up all that money he took last time so quickly.

"Wife, go to sleep."

Gu Yunduan immediately wilted. Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this. Gu Yunduan was furious and said to Ye Zhaozhao.

"I'll go find Jiang Ming tomorrow."

Ye Zhaozhao didn't expect this person to be so shameless, so she turned her back and simply ignored him. Gu Yunduan didn't sleep well all night because of this.

The next morning, Ye Zhaozhao went to find Jiang Ming. She didn't expect him to actually go, and even to take her with him.

Jiang Ming was also on duty at the hospital during the Spring Festival. When he saw Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao arrive, he thought they were there to see him.

"Yun Duan, you truly are a good brother, coming to see me even during the Chinese New Year."

"I didn't come to see you; I came to get something from you."

"Take what?"

Jiang Ming didn't react for a moment, but after Gu Yunduan spoke, Jiang Ming looked at Ye Zhaozhao next to him and instantly understood.

"Wait here, I'll go get it for you."

"Remember to take plenty, enough for six months."

Ye Zhaozhao wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, while Gu Yunduan beside her remained completely unfazed.

Ye Zhaozhao was curious about how he could say such righteous words.

"Gu Yunduan, have you no shame?"

"Honey, this is just human nature, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Jiang Ming really listened to Gu Yunduan and took a lot, mainly because he was worried that Gu Yunduan would come looking for him again.

Of the four of them, Jiang Ming wasn't afraid of any of them.

They were afraid of Gu Yunduan because although he didn't talk much, he was ruthless. After getting the things, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao were about to leave when Ding Zhize came in.

Looking at Ye Zhaozhao and then at the man beside her, Ding Zhize used to be the most handsome man in their courtyard.

Ding Zhize often looked down on others because of his good looks.

But compared to Gu Yunduan, he instantly lost his imposing presence after Ye Zhaozhao left yesterday.

He and Wu Xueling were talking about Ye Zhaozhao, and Wu Xueling said...

Ye Zhaozhao married a capable man, who was said to be a deputy brigade commander. Ding Zhize thought that if someone could become a deputy brigade commander, he must be an old man.
