Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu He took out a few candies from her pocket.

"Here you go, this is a big milk candy. My sister-in-law bought it for my brother, and I just grabbed some. If you're feeling down, eat one, and it'll cheer you up a lot." Lu He always sensed that he was preoccupied.

The expression on his face wasn't unfriendly.

Leaving the milk candy behind, Lu He closed the car door.

Chu Lin watched Lu He walk towards the hospital.

"Thank you!" Chu Lin said softly.

Although Lu He could no longer hear.

In his heart, it seemed that no one remembered him except his cousin.

Lu He and Chu Lin were only classmates for one day, yet Lu He still thinks about him so much.

He put the candy in his pocket and continued with his work.

After dinner, Lu Chen went back to his unit for night training.

Shen Qiaoyue was making clothes for her unborn child in the living room.

After finishing her dinner, Xiang Shulan also came over with a basket for needlework.

"Qiaoyue, have you eaten yet?" Xiang Shulan walked in happily and greeted her cheerfully.

Shen Qiaoyue looked up and said, "Sister-in-law Shulan, you've arrived? Please have a seat."

Xiang Shulan also sat down without any hesitation.

Place the basket containing the needles and thread on the table.

"Qiaoyue, I just came over to chat with you. Dali went back to the army and said he has to do night training. He probably won't be back until after eight o'clock." Xiang Shulan was bored at home and thought that Shen Qiaoyue must be bored at home too, so she came over to chat.

As Shen Qiaoyue sewed the clothes, she said, "Yes, they've been training a lot lately to reorganize the troops, and I'm bored at home all by myself."

Xiang Shulan glanced at Shen Qiaoyue, then continued working with her head down.

"I heard that one of the instructors in your regiment, Commander Lu, named Su Xinghuo, got married recently and is living in the family compound up ahead. She found out she's pregnant a few days ago! These past few days, Juanjuan said that everyone else is pregnant except her, and she's really upset about it!"

"Is Sister-in-law Zhang Juanjuan still worried about this?" Shen Qiaoyue looked at Xiang Shulan curiously. "I've rarely seen Sister-in-law Zhang Juanjuan these days. Isn't her husband Wang Sandan treating her quite well? It's been so long since she got pregnant, but she hasn't given up yet!"

"Haven't you heard?" Xiang Shulan's expression was a mixture of gossip and surprise.

Shen Qiaoyue shook her head.

"I'm at work during the day, and there are many things happening in the residential compound that I don't know about. What happened?"

"Sigh~ that's true!" Xiang Shulan sighed helplessly, glanced at the door, and said mysteriously, "Wang Sandan's mother came. She's been here for quite a while. I heard it's because she's sick. Her eldest son thought his mother's illness was too expensive and didn't want to take care of her, so he kicked her out! Wang Sandan took her to the city hospital for treatment, and Zhang Juanjuan went to take care of her every day. After she was discharged, she came to live in the family compound. And now~ he thinks Zhang Juanjuan can't have children, so he believed in a folk remedy and brewed medicine for her to drink. She was in pain for more than an hour, and he wouldn't take her to the hospital. It was Liu Jiansheng who went to play with Zhang Juanjuan and then saw her and ran out to call for help."

Shen Qiaoyue was completely shocked after hearing this.

"Is it serious?" Shen Qiaoyue asked worriedly.

Xiang Shulan shook her head and frowned, saying, "I'm not quite sure, but the old lady and Wang Sandan were scolded by Dr. Bai."

Shen Qiaoyue stopped what she was doing.

Zhang Juanjuan usually seems like a pretty tough person, so it must be tough for her to have a mother-in-law like this.

"Doesn't Wang Sandan usually dote on Zhang Juanjuan? Why isn't he speaking up for her this time?" Shen Qiaoyue knew that a woman's well-being depended on how well her husband treated her.

"Who knew that Wang Sandan was actually quite good to Zhang Juanjuan? He wasn't there when the accident happened, and it happened in the afternoon. Zhang Juanjuan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. The old woman said that the old Chinese medicine doctor said that the pain would subside in a few hours and she would be able to get pregnant!"

While gossiping, Xiang Shulan's face was full of heartache.

"Girl, Wang Sandan's mother said some really nasty things. She said that everyone in our compound can get pregnant except Zhang Juanjuan. I can't stand her nonsense."

Shen Qiaoyue found it hard to believe after hearing this.

"Having a bad mother-in-law can really make family relationships difficult." Shen Qiaoyue felt genuinely sorry for Zhang Juanjuan after hearing this. "Shall we go see her tomorrow?"

"They're not allowing visits right now, saying it will be possible to visit in a few days after the situation improves."

"It's that serious?" Shen Qiaoyue was shocked. No visitors allowed, and it must be this serious? "Then isn't this practically attempted murder against Wang Sandan's mother?"

“That old woman just listened to what others said and gave them twenty yuan. The police have already intervened. If it was really intentional, they will definitely be able to find out,” Xiang Shulan added.

Shen Qiaoyue was still in shock.

So many things have happened in this residential compound.

Strange things have been happening lately. First, there's Ye Feifei, and now there's Wang Sandan's mother-in-law.

Xiang Shulan noticed that Shen Qiaoyue always had a shocked and helpless expression when she heard these gossips.

She reached out and gently patted Shen Qiaoyue, saying, "Qiaoyue, you are lucky. Commander Lu Chen treats you well, so you won't have to deal with a mother-in-law like that. If you had a bad mother-in-law, life would be very hard."

Shen Qiaoyue did not deny it and nodded.

Xiang Shulan sighed again, "Dali's cousin is the same. She's only eighteen years old. A few days ago, she went to the countryside and injured her leg. Her aunt said there was no way to cure it. Dali's uncle and aunt wanted to give her a hundred yuan and sell her to someone else as a wife. Xiaoli didn't want to, so she called Dali, hoping that he could save her."
