"Then I won't eat that much. Qiaoyue, you can take it back." Of course, Xiang Shulan would listen to the doctor. Now that she was pregnant, she had to prioritize her own health and the baby's well-being in everything she did.

Shen Qiao also said, "It's okay, just leave it here. I believe someone will come to visit you later, and you can give it to them then. I made this on a whim, so it won't last long."

Xiang Shulan exclaimed, "If this could be a business, you could definitely sell it very well."

"It's okay, we can make it ourselves and eat it." Shen Qiaoyue vaguely changed the subject.

Xiang Shulan did not bring up the topic again.

Shen Qiaoyue looked Xiang Shulan up and down and said, "Sister-in-law, you look like you've lost a lot of weight. Are you missing Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang?"

Liu Xinlan moved closer to Shen Qiaoyue and gently patted her, trying to get her to say less.

Xiang Shulan avoided eye contact, unsure how to answer the question.

If she said she didn't want to, that was her husband.

What good is it to think about it? The person he's been longing for has come to the family compound, and he'll see him all the time!

"What use is Zhang Dali? He already has someone he likes. Even though I married him, our marriage is devoid of affection. Ye Feifei is married to someone in the military, and we live in the same family compound, coming and going all the time!" If things rekindle, she'll have nothing left.

Shen Qiaoyue understood Xiang Shulan's thoughts.

Xiang Shulan and Zhang Dali have a happy ending.

"Sister-in-law Shulan, Ye Feifei has already married Deputy Battalion Commander Li Qingming, so you don't need to worry too much. She won't go too far if she wants to do something. As long as you don't give up, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang will definitely not let you down." Zhang Dali was very good to Xiang Shulan. When he was dating Ye Feifei, he had no idea that his family had bought him a child bride.

Everyone has seen how good Zhang Dali is to Xiang Shulan these days.

In Zhang Dali's eyes, Xiang Shulan was a muddle-headed woman who could do nothing but housework.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Everyone in the family compound knows how good Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang is to you. If that Ye Feifei dares to cause you trouble again, just call for help," Liu Xinlan comforted her from the side.

Even without Xiang Shulan saying it, she knew perfectly well that Ye Feifei and that crazy woman Duan Wenrou were responsible for her being pushed to the ground and hospitalized.

Receiving everyone's words of comfort, Xiang Shulan nodded.

"By the way, Qiaoyue, I heard that Duan Wenrou from that performing arts troupe tried to kill you. Are you alright? Were you hurt?" Xiang Shulan also remembered that Shen Qiaoyue had also been bullied by Duan Wenrou. Because she had been bedridden, she had no time to visit Shen Qiaoyue.

Shen Qiaoyue gently patted Xiang Shulan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I wasn't bullied by that crazy woman. I took that carrying pole and broke her back."

"Look at you, so smug! Don't you know how dangerous it is?" Liu Xinlan couldn't help but complain. "She's going to kill you! Why aren't you running away? You're still standing at the door guarding it! You scared me to death!"

She thought Shen Qiaoyue had been hurt by Duan Wenrou, and at that time she didn't care that she had fallen several times in the rain.

Shen Qiaoyue pulled Liu Xinlan and said, "I know my second sister-in-law is the best! I didn't dare to leave either. Anyway, I just locked the door, so she can't come out. I'm afraid she'll let me out. It's dark when I run, what if I fall? Then she'll catch up with me."

"What are we going to do? You can't even shout once. You two are the only unlucky ones in the whole compound, and you're pregnant too!" Liu Xinlan pointed at Shen Qiaoyue's forehead, saying with both anger and helplessness.

Feeling guilty, Shen Qiaoyue didn't dare to speak and exchanged a glance with Xiang Shulan.

She was still happy that someone cared about her.

"Sister-in-law Shulan, shouldn't you tell us what happened that night?" Shen Qiaoyue asked, seizing the opportunity. "Don't tell me you fell down by yourself, I don't believe you."

Xiang Shulan looked at Shen Qiaoyue and asked this question. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "At that time, Ye Feifei came over with some food, greeted me, and we chatted briefly before she left. I thought she was very strange. Why did she come over and say such random things? After she left, I went to take a hot shower. Just then, Sister-in-law Hualan passed by and called out to me. I felt someone push me from behind."

Xiang Shulan said that the person seemed to be in a hurry and afraid of being discovered, so they pushed Xiang Shulan and left.

It was probably Ye Hualan's appearance and her calling out to Xiang Shulan that prevented that person from making a move.

But why did that person treat Xiang Shulan like that? Ye Feifei left just then, so it definitely couldn't be Ye Feifei.

Everyone guessed that Duan Wenrou was the one who did it, but only Ye Feifei and Duan Wenrou knew why she did it.

Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan both knew that if this matter was not resolved, Xiang Shulan and Zhang Dali would not be able to live in peace.

"It seems Ye Feifei has ulterior motives!" Shen Qiaoyue sighed.

"Actually, what's even stranger is that Deputy Battalion Commander Li Qingming has someone he likes, a girl from the small village up ahead, I think her name is Luo Miaomiao. Suddenly he married this Ye Feifei. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on." Liu Xinlan mentioned this while stroking her chin.

Xiang Shulan also remembered that there was such a thing.

"That Luo Miaomiao was married off by her parents to a forty-year-old man for a hundred yuan, and she committed suicide on her wedding day," Xiang Shulan said.

Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan exchanged a shocked glance.

This might be a breakthrough.

Xiang Shulan didn't think in that direction, and Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan didn't intend to explain it to her either.
