Chapter 1355 Unexpected Situation
When fetching water for the first snowfall, I secretly added some water from the spatial pool to the cup, avoiding people around.
Fu Yancheng pretended to be nonchalant in front of her, but with such a serious injury, how could she not feel any pain? She wasn't a child.
Back in the ward, she handed the cup to Fu Yancheng: "Have some water."
Seeing the empty can on the bedside table: "By the way, where did you get the can you used for drinking water before? Do you need to return it?"
Fu Yancheng glanced over there: "They borrowed it from the ward next door. I'll return it later when I get up."
As the two were talking, they heard Battalion Commander Zheng shout outside, "Xiao Wu, come and help me up."
Xiao Wu hurried in, didn't ask any questions, and reached out to help the man up: "Battalion Commander, take it easy."
Battalion Commander Zheng was helped out of the ward by Xiao Wu. Chu Xue quickly approached Fu Yancheng and asked, "What exactly happened? Why did you stop me when Sister-in-law Zheng was speaking earlier?"
Fu Yancheng gestured for her to move forward before speaking, "Sister-in-law Zheng seems straightforward at first glance, but she really has no sense of propriety when she speaks. Back in the Second Regiment, she often hindered Old Zheng. With his merits, he could have been promoted a level in a few more years, but his wife ruined it all."
The couple had been married for many years but had been unable to conceive. Before, Mrs. Zheng had been very submissive because of this. Just when they thought they would never have a child, Mrs. Zheng became pregnant. Her personality immediately underwent a dramatic change. She stopped being submissive and started to act arrogantly, though not exactly ostentatiously.
Later, she had a son, which gave her confidence. After that, her child became her Achilles' heel. Whenever someone's child had a conflict with her son, she would go to their house and have a big argument. In the end, this caused a rift between several of her neighbors. Battalion Commander Zheng could no longer stay in the Second Regiment. There happened to be a vacancy in the First Regiment, and he used his connections to transfer there.
Chu Xue asked, puzzled, "We don't have any children at home right now, why are you stopping me?"
Fu Yancheng reached out and poked her forehead: "You're new to the military and don't know, but the news about Sister Zheng has spread all over the place. Even if she moves to a different house, not many people are on good terms with her. I'm just worried that she'll keep coming back to our house, and then you won't have any peace and quiet."
He was about to say something when he heard footsteps, so the two stopped talking.
In the following days, Chuxue stopped cooking herself. Her drowsiness subsided, but she started experiencing nausea.
She didn't experience morning sickness when eating, and she didn't know what to say.
However, she would go out for a stroll every day, find a secluded place to take out ingredients from her spatial storage, and deliver them to the cafeteria so that the head chef could cook them for her. Of course, she would pay him for it in private.
Of course, the water served to Fu Yancheng would be secretly mixed with some water from the spatial pool. The amount was small, but every day when the nurses came to change his dressings, they would marvel at how good Fu Yancheng's health was and how fast he recovered.
Not long after she brought the stewed chicken soup into the ward that day, Sister Zheng brought her son into the ward.
As soon as the child came in, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup. He broke free from the hand that was holding him and went straight for the clay pot, which startled Chu Xue. She reached out and stopped him.
Before Chuxue could even utter a sound, the child raised his arm and started slapping it. This startled Fu Yancheng, who, disregarding everything else, jumped up from the bed.
His actions alarmed Chu Xue: "Fu Yancheng, be careful of your injury."
Mu Xiaofang saw Chu Xue grabbing her son by the back of his collar and said, "Oh dear, he's still a child, what are you doing?"
