Shen Qiaoyue nodded, and Lu Chen walked over.

"Aunt Li, please let go of Comrade Xia Xiaoli first." This Li Laidi seemed to have suffered some kind of mental shock.

Since Zhang Juanjuan left, her son Wang Sandan has often argued with her. He has taken leave these past few days to go back to his hometown and bring Zhang Juanjuan back.

In recent days, Li Laidi has been crying and complaining all over the family compound, saying that her son has forgotten his mother after getting married, and that Zhang Juanjuan wants to divorce her son.

If they don't get a divorce, their demand is that their mother be kicked out of the family compound.

The leader tried to comfort and explain several times, but the person still wouldn't let it go.

I wonder what kind of trouble they'll cause today.

"Xiao Lu! My son is getting a divorce. I want him to marry Xiao Li. Xiao Li is beautiful and has a great figure. She'll definitely be able to give birth to a son. My son will definitely like a daughter like that." Li Laidi's eyes were wide open. She just wanted her son to leave that woman.

"Commander Lu, she's being unreasonable! I never said I wanted to marry Battalion Commander Wang!" Xia Xiaoli resigned herself to her bad luck. It was bad enough that she was having trouble walking, but she always ended up getting harassed by others.

After listening to Xia Xiaoli's explanation, Lu Chen patiently explained to Li Laidi, "Auntie, marriage is something that can't be forced. Please let go of that woman."

“If I don’t let go, she’ll come home with me today and become my daughter-in-law.” Li Laidi refused to let go no matter what.

Xu Xiaosi stood up from the ground, looked at the hateful old woman, and bit Li Laidi's hand.

"Ah...you little brat! You dare bite me!" Li Laidi let go of his hand, wanting to slap him.

Lu Chen quickly pulled Xu Xiaosi away.

This left Li Laidi disappointed.

Li Laidi was furious and wanted to find the right opportunity to take revenge.

“Comrade Li Laidi, this is a military unit. You are only able to live here because of Battalion Commander Wang’s honor. Let me tell you, if you continue to act recklessly, your son’s future will be ruined. You won’t even be qualified to live here anymore. I am Wang Sandan’s superior. As his mother, your daily conduct will also influence his promotion. Once he is reported, he will be demoted three ranks.”

Lu Chen, as Wang Sandan's former superior, was worried about Wang Sandan having such a mother.

Li Laidi, who was about to fly into a rage, heard that she would no longer even be allowed to live in the family compound, so she dared not offend Lu Chen.

He stormed back to the family compound, still cursing under his breath.

As she passed by, she looked at Shen Qiaoyue, her eyes fixed on Shen Qiaoyue's stomach.

Lu Chen paused for a moment in front of Shen Qiaoyue, which startled him so much that he quickly ran back to his wife's side.

Seeing Lu Chen protecting Shen Qiaoyue, Li Laidi slunk away.

When Shen Qiaoyue saw Li Laidi staring at her stomach, her heart pounded in her chest.

After everyone had gone some distance, Lu Chen asked worriedly, "Wife, are you alright?"

"It's nothing," Shen Qiaoyue shook her head.

"Aunt Chen, this old lady is weird, I hate her!" Xu Xiaosi ran over and said fearfully, grabbing Shen Qiaoyue's hand.

Xia Xiaoli walked over and thanked Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen, saying, "Sister Qiaoyue, Commander Lu, thank you."

Xia Xiaoli, still shaken, had tears in her eyes.

Shen Qiaoyue shook her head and said, "Xiaoli, you are too gentle. Next time, if you encounter something like this, you should shout loudly. Fortunately, this happened around the family compound. If it had happened outside, you might have been kidnapped."

Xia Xiaoli has fair skin and looks like a gentle and lovely girl.

As soon as she appears, those with ulterior motives will start to bully her.

"Xiaoli, once your leg is healed, learn some self-defense techniques from your cousin. It will come in handy when you go out to work and encounter bad people in life."

Shen Qiaoyue's advice to Xia Xiaoli.

"Yes, Sister Qiaoyue, I'll remember." Xia Xiaoli always listened attentively to Shen Qiaoyue's suggestions.

"It's alright, are you going to buy groceries? Hurry up! At this time of year, the supply and marketing cooperative is basically out of vegetables!" Shen Qiaoyue had watched them go out from her own yard.

"Okay, we're leaving now." Xu Xiaoli took Xia Xiaoli's hand and said to Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen, "Uncle Lu, see you later!"

"Be careful on the road," Lu Chen said to Xu Xiaosi.

"Yes, I will."

The two, one big and one small, walked together toward the supply and marketing cooperative.

“Wang Sandan’s mother must have been traumatized. Should we have someone from the hospital come and check on her? There are so many pregnant women in the compound. If she gets hurt, it could have very serious consequences,” Shen Qiaoyue reminded Lu Chen. “Should we report this to the leadership?” Although it wasn’t a good idea to say it like that, people would definitely think they couldn’t tolerate Li Laidi. But for the sake of the people in the compound, this was the final outcome.

Since the last time she believed in a folk remedy and brewed some unknown medicine for Zhang Juanjuan to drink, Zhang Juanjuan has completely lost her fertility.

After being called back for questioning by the police, he became very mysterious.

He'd spout nonsense at the slightest provocation, and his fierce expression was frightening.

Lu Chen agreed with Shen Qiaoyue and nodded, saying, "I'll go and report this to the leader later. When Wang Sandan comes back, I'll tell him about this situation."

While it's understandable to be abandoned and kicked out of the home by the eldest son, one shouldn't take out all the pain on others.

After walking a few steps, Shen Qiaoyue felt tired, so Lu Chen helped her home.

"Mom, I'm home."

Chu Wanfang was sewing clothes in the living room while rocking a baby stroller.

"Yuanyuan, Auntie is back. Did you miss Auntie?" With Lu Chen's help, Shen Qiaoyue bent down and touched Yuanyuan's little face. "Mommy, you've made Yuanyuan so plump and healthy."

"Your sister-in-law is feeding her baby with both breast milk and formula. I'm getting old, so I just listen to her," Chu Wanfang said with a smile, adding, "Your brother and sister-in-law are alone at home again!"

Chu Wanfang reminded her son that he should not have sex for six months after giving birth, and if he could bear it, it would be best to wait eight months to a year before having sex.

This woman needs time to recover after giving birth.

These days, Shen Qiaoyu has been listening to her mother, but they like to be together and say sweet things.

As a mother-in-law, she couldn't bear to see her grandson, so she brought him to her son-in-law's place.

"Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are so loving, you should be happy! My sister-in-law loves me and your family too, so she's good to me and to you." In Shen Qiaoyue's eyes, her sister-in-law loves her brother too much, so she needs time alone with him every day, and only when there are conditions. If her brother is busy, she is also reasonable.

Chu Wanfang smiled and said, "Mom, you've had a happy life, and all of you children are fulfilled. You've met good men, so I don't have to worry about your marriages!"

“That’s right, my sister-in-law is so kind,” Shen Qiaoyue replied.
