In a blink of an eye, Shen Man's belly was already seven or eight months pregnant, and her movements became increasingly inconvenient.

Fortunately, there are two people at home, so she basically doesn't have to do anything on weekdays.

Her daily routine, apart from eating, is to walk around the house or go out for a walk.

From time to time, Sister Yunxiang from next door would come over to sit with us.

That day, Sister Yunxiang came again and brought some gossip.

"Xiao Shen, something happened yesterday. You don't know. It almost resulted in a death."

Shen Man sat by the fire and suddenly became interested. "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

She has been staying at home these days and really doesn’t know what’s going on outside.”

Sister Yunxiang glanced out the window in the direction of the An family and said in a low voice, "Xiao Shen, do you still remember Hong Huizhu, who was pestering Captain Lu and then climbed onto Captain An's bed?"

Shen Man nodded, "Yes, I remember."

This man had caused her a lot of trouble in the past, of course she remembered that.

Sister Yunxiang smiled and said, "Hong Huizhu has been married to Captain An for several months. Mrs. Huang has always prevented them from sleeping together because she didn't want her to get pregnant. Unexpectedly, Hong Huizhu still got pregnant."

"Captain An is almost 40 years old and has no children. He is naturally very excited about this unexpected baby. He is no longer trying to mediate between Mrs. Huang and Hong Huizhu like he did before."

"He was even afraid that Mrs. Huang would harm the baby in Hong Huizhu's belly, so he thought of sending Mrs. Huang back to her hometown. When Mrs. Huang found out about this, she thought that everything was instigated by Hong Huizhu."

"So, that night, while Captain An was away, they drove the child out of the house in the snow without even giving her a thick coat. It was snowing that night, and Hong Huizhu accidentally slipped, and the child died on the spot."

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, somewhat unbelievable, "Mrs. Huang actually dared to do it so openly, isn't she afraid that Captain An will come after her?"

After all, no matter how great she was, she was just the mother of the captain's previous wife, and her daughter had been dead for five or six years.

Most men would have completely forgotten their wives who died early. Not to mention any feelings for them, they probably don't even have any memories left.

Sister Yunxiang curled her lips and said, "You have just been with the army for less than a year, so there are some things you don't know. Captain An's previous wife died of complications during childbirth, and Mrs. Huang only has one daughter-in-law like this, and she treats her like the apple of her eye."

"She was a very easy-going person, but this incident was so devastating that Mrs. Huang's personality changed all of a sudden."

"Captain An also felt guilty about this and indulged her in every way. But as time went by, the guilt faded, especially since Mrs. Huang didn't let him remarry and have children. The guilt was long gone."

"This time, Captain An was completely furious. He severed all ties with Mrs. Huang and sent her back to her hometown. But because of this incident, it is difficult for Hong Huizhu to have a child. I guess her life will not be easy in the future."

Although Shen Man felt that Hong Huizhu was a little pitiful, it was all her own choice.

If she had not chosen to plot against Lu Guo, she would not have lost her mind for a moment and climbed into another man's bed, ending up like this.

Sister Yunxiang also sighed, but it was none of her business and she just watched the fun.

"By the way, Xiao Shen, your head patron should be discharged from the hospital, right?"

"If he doesn't leave the hospital, your child will be gone soon." Sister Yunxiang joked while looking at Shen Man's belly.

If we were to ask who is the luckiest person in this courtyard, it would naturally be Xiao Shen.

Judging from the time, Xiao Shen got pregnant right after she got married, and they were twins.

Most people don't have this blessing.

There were many sisters-in-law in the courtyard, and they were all envious of Xiao Shen's belly.

Shen Man smiled and nodded, "Well, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Soon at noon the next day, Gu Qinglin finally returned from the hospital under the escort of guards and Captain Yang.

He can now barely get out of bed and walk, and his complexion has recovered well.

To celebrate his return, Yang Fang took her money and tickets to the town, bought some meat and vegetables, cooked them and prepared a table full of delicious food.

Yang Fang, Shen Man, Shen Mingchuan and others had been waiting at the door early.

Seeing Gu Qinglin coming back from afar, several people couldn't help but laugh.

Especially Shen Mingchuan, he was extremely excited.

"Mom, my sister is back."

These days, he went to the hospital with his mother to visit his sister every day, and his relationship with his sister became better and better.

Not only would his sister tell him stories of heroic deeds in the army, she would also give him gifts, such as gun models, bullet shells, and some delicious food.

Most importantly, this sister is better and more considerate to her.

He likes this sister better than the previous one who would secretly say bad things about his sister.

Shen Man raised her head and rubbed Shen Mingchuan's head. "It seems that you and your sister have been getting along pretty well these days."

Shen Mingchuan immediately shook his head, "No, I like you more, sister."

In his heart, whoever is good to his sister is his sister.

Shen Man felt warm in her heart and smiled, "My brother is still the best."

While they were talking, Gu Qinglin, supported by two guards, had already walked into the door of his house.

"Hello, sister-in-law, hello, aunt."

"Hello, sister-in-law, hello, aunt." Several men who came to send Gu Qinglin over greeted Shen Man and Yang Fang one after another.

Shen Man held her waist and looked at them with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you guys today. Come in and have a seat. The food is just ready. Let's eat together."

Yang Fang was also inviting people to come in and sit down, "Since you are here, come in and sit down, and have a meal together."

"No, sister-in-law, auntie, we have things to do, so we won't go in and sit down."

Shen Man looked at Gu Qinglin and gave him a wink.

Gu Qinglin immediately understood what she meant, so he said to them, "Since your sisters-in-law have prepared the meal, let's go in and eat together. You have worked hard to take care of me these days."

The men looked at each other and smiled sheepishly, "Then we'll shamelessly come to my sister-in-law's place for a free meal."

Their leader’s wife is so beautiful and gentle.

Unlike some group leaders' wives, they don't want them to come to their house at all, for fear that they will eat a grain of rice in their house.

Because today is specially to celebrate Gu Qinglin's discharge from the hospital, so I invited these people to dinner.

Therefore, the table was full of food.

There were several meat dishes, braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, a whole roasted chicken... and so on. All kinds of dishes filled the table.

Not only did several guards stare and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, even Gu Qinglin was a little surprised that his wife and mother-in-law attached so much importance to his discharge from the hospital.
