The women who were chatting watched as Liu Cuicui walked past them with a long face, and even pretended to scold them.

"Nonsense."

“Huai’an is not that kind of person.”

"And what's wrong with you military wives? Why are you all acting like gossipy old women? Aren't you afraid of implicating your husbands?"

The group looked embarrassed after Liu Cuicui's words, but since they were in the wrong, they didn't dare to argue back. They could only watch as Liu Cuicui scolded them and then left smugly.

"Pah!"

"A deserter! He really thinks he's something special?! What's with all the showing off! I wonder who it was that got beaten up by his mother! A jinx! Whoever marries him will be unlucky!"

"Isn't that right? If it weren't for the previous demotion, Deputy Battalion Commander Huo might already be a deputy regimental commander!"

"That's right. I also heard from my wife that Deputy Battalion Commander Huo is about to be transferred to Beijing."

"Really? Beijing! That's the capital! I've never been there in my entire life!"

Why would I lie to you about this?

"Unfortunately, when I introduced my niece, who has a big bottom and is sure to give birth to a son, to Deputy Battalion Commander Huo, he was so devoted to serving his country that he refused..."

"Hey, did you guys hear her call out something to Battalion Commander Lu just now?"

The group didn't notice this and quickly nudged the person who had opened the mouth with their elbows.

"Speak quickly."

The woman didn't keep him in suspense; instead, she called out in a low voice, "Huai'an..."

"If you didn't know better, you'd think she and Battalion Commander Lu were a couple!"

"Could it be... no way, she's already married!"

"That's hard to say. After all, Battalion Commander Lu is indeed better looking than Deputy Battalion Commander Huo. If I hadn't gotten married so early, I would definitely have gone after him too."

Huo Jun, who had just climbed the stairs, turned cold upon hearing these words.

"Hello, ladies." he greeted them.

Instantly, the faces of the group of people who had been gossiping together froze.

There's usually nobody here!

How come the two of them heard everything today?

Some people are secretly suffering, while others are quick-witted.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Huo, you're back. Don't blame me for being nosy, but after thinking it over carefully, I still think it's best to tell you."

"Your wife is married now, so it's not appropriate for her to keep calling Battalion Commander Lu 'Huai'an,' right?"

"That's right. We were just chatting, and when she heard Battalion Commander Lu's name, she rushed out and not only called out Huai'an, but also yelled at us."

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

"The sisters-in-law have other things to do, so they'll be leaving now."

When Huo Jun returned home, Huo Xiaoyan immediately poured him a glass of water and came over.

"Jun, you just called me and told me to let that bitch out. What happened? What's wrong?"

"Mom, I'm going to Beijing!"

"Jun, really?"

Huo Xiaoyan clutched her chest, so excited she almost choked on her breath.

"real."

"Mom, the man who helped me out has one condition: I have to marry his daughter!"

"Great news! Mom doesn't object!"

"Mom, military marriages can't be dissolved so easily, and Liu Cuicui isn't a good person. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble and affect my promotion."

Huo Xiaoyan knew her son was intelligent, and since he could say that, he must have a plan in mind.

"Jun, what do you suggest we do? I'll listen to you."

"Mom, take Liu Cuicui back to the village, and then think of a way..."

Huo Xiaoyan's eyelids twitched: "Jun, what do you want?"

"Mom, this is the only way I can get rid of her."

"Mom, you'll help me, right?"

Girls are not rare. Before Huo Jun was born, Huo Xiaoyan had lost a daughter.

Upon hearing that Liu Cuicui was to be killed, she was startled for a moment, and immediately said, "Okay, leave it to Mom."

Liu Cuicui was unaware of Huo Jun and his mother's malicious plans. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she rushed to Su Wantang's house.

She wanted to tell Su Wantang not to be delusional. Huai'an would never do such a thing for her. It was just a coincidence. Su Zhen would fall from power sooner or later.

Furthermore, she's a lucky charm for her husband! Su Wantang, on the other hand, is a jinx! With her capitalist background and arrogant personality, she'll drag Lu Huai'an out of the army sooner or later!

"Why is nobody here?"

Looking at the locked courtyard gate, Liu Cuicui gritted her teeth in frustration.

She was unwilling to leave and waited for an hour until her legs went numb before finally leaving indignantly.

Liu Cuicui dared not go home too late, otherwise Huo Xiaoyan would beat and scold her!

"Brother Huo, you're home too?" Liu Cuicui asked in surprise.

"Cui Cui, come inside with me, I have something to tell you."

For some reason, Liu Cuicui had a bad feeling.

"I'm getting promoted again."

"Really? Brother Huo, that's great news! Cui Cui is so happy for you!"

Liu Cuicui's resentment dissipated, and she seemed to see the chief's wife waving at her.

“However, I am being transferred to a unit in the Northwest, where conditions are harsh. Also, I was parachuted in, so I cannot take you with me for the time being.”

"What?"

One second the sky was clear, the next second it cracked open.

"Cui Cui, you go back to your hometown with Mom first. Once I've settled things in, I'll definitely bring you here right away."

"But……"

"Cui Cui, you'll understand me, won't you?"

Liu Cuicui couldn't speak. Reluctantly, she bit her lip and said, "Okay."

Although she agreed, Liu Cuicui was very uneasy, especially since the village was completely Huo Xiaoyan's territory.

She suddenly remembered Su Yue's question, "Didn't you have a miscarriage?"

She stepped forward and hugged Huo Jun's waist, her watery eyes gazing at him with affection, her expression full of seduction.

"Brother Huo~"

The injuries on Liu Cuicui's face had subsided. Her eyebrows and eyes bore a resemblance to Su Wantang's, which deepened Huo Jun's gaze.

He pressed Liu Cuicui's head down.

"Do it yourself."

"Raise your head."

...

The pills were prepared for Lu Huai'an, so Su Wantang naturally wanted to ensure that the medicine was as effective as possible.

The moment she bought the medicinal herbs, she didn't immediately start processing them. Instead, she soaked them in spiritual spring water to bring out their full medicinal effects before beginning the refining process.

For this refining process, Su Wantang also used the ginseng that had been nurtured by the space for decades.

After refining the life-saving pills, Su Wantang was completely exhausted.

She fainted from exhaustion.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Wantang suddenly frowned, her breathing became rapid, and her eyes turned bloodshot, forcing her to open them abruptly.

It started raining heavily outside the window at some point, and the large raindrops hit the roof with a crackling sound.

Su Wantang breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's just a dream!"

She got out of bed, opened the window, caught the raindrops in her palm, and murmured softly, "Lu Huai'an, you must take good care of yourself."

The phone rang as soon as he finished speaking.

"Wantang".

That sound…

Su Wantang felt a sudden tightness in her chest: "Dad?"

"Something has happened in Huai'an."

"The doctor said the situation is very bad."

“I’ve already spoken to the military and used my connections to buy your plane ticket. Someone will come to pick you up and take you to the airport. I’ll wait for you at the hospital.”
