"Auntie, don't worry, I trust Lu Chen." Shen Qiaoyue knew that these people were powerful.
If the female protagonist wants to deal with Shen Qiaoyue, then let her see just how terrifying the power of women can be.
Xiang Shulan brought a basket from home containing some garlic and ginger.
"What are you all talking about? You all seem quite excited?" Xiang Shulan asked with a smile as she walked over.
“Let’s chat. Sister-in-law Shulan, you look much better lately, and you’ve gained a lot of weight. Are you pregnant?” Shen Qiaoyue teased.
No one continued the previous topic.
After changing the subject, Old Mrs. Zhao looked up and glanced at Xiang Shulan.
"Indeed, Shulan! You and Commander Dali have been getting along well lately! Are you pregnant?" Old Mrs. Zhao also had this feeling.
Xiang Shulan sat down shyly and began peeling garlic cloves, laughing heartily as she slowly explained, "You guys have such sharp eyes! But I'm not pregnant. Dali said I'm too thin and should eat more to get in shape before considering having children."
Shen Qiaoyue vaguely remembered that she had been pregnant for about two months.
"Here comes another envious one. Commander Lu is good to Qiaoyue, and Deputy Commander Zhang is good to Sister-in-law Shulan. It's just me and Jiansheng, an orphan and a widow." Bai Le peeled peanuts and couldn't help but tease him.
Liu Jiansheng keenly sensed his mother's words, walked to Bai Le's side, placed his hand on Bai Le's head, and said earnestly, "Mom, Dad said on the phone that Jiansheng is a man and will protect you."
"What a good child! At such a young age, he already knows how to protect his mother." Zhang Juanjuan smiled kindly. "And is Aunt Zhang good to you too? Does she protect Auntie?"
"Yes, Jiansheng is a man. He will protect Mom and Aunt, and he will also protect Xiaosi!" He said, taking Xu Xiaosi's hand in his arms.
Xu Xiaosi shyly shook off the protective barrier, walked to her aunt's side, and said, "I have my uncle to protect me, I don't need your protection."
Xu Miaoya gently stroked Xu Xiaosi's head.
"What's wrong? Are you missing your uncle?" Xu Miaoya asked Xu Xiaosi gently.
Xu Xiaosi lay on Xu Miaoya's lap, looked up at Xu Miaoya and nodded, then asked, "Auntie, when is Uncle coming back? I miss him so much. When we went out today, Uncle didn't kiss Xiaosi's face. I'm angry!"
Xu Miaoya gently comforted her, "Sweetie, your uncle is busy with work. You'll see him later. How about you go play with Brother Jiansheng?"
Xu Xiaosi reluctantly looked at Xu Miaoya's belly, then reached out to touch it and leaned down to kiss it.
"Then Auntie, I'm going to play with Brother Jiansheng."
Xu Miaoya nodded, watching Liu Jiansheng pull Xu Xiaosi outside to play.
"Xiao Si is such a well-mannered child!" Although Grandma Zhao was praising Xiao Si, there was a hint of regret in her voice. "If only Xiao Si's parents were still here!"
Shen Qiaoyue then realized that Xu Xiaosi's parents had passed away.
Xu Miaoya touched her belly, a hint of sadness in her eyes, but quickly smiled and said, "Life and death are common occurrences. When Xiaosi grows up, she will understand."
Jiang Jinyao remained silent.
The atmosphere at that moment was indeed oppressive.
Some things should never be said carelessly.
However, the women in the family compound quickly peeled all the peanuts and garlic.
"Let the men do the cooking. Everyone, go check on how Instructor Xu and Dr. Liu's wedding room is decorated!" Zhang Juanjuan felt that the women had finished their tasks, so she left the rest to the men. They wanted to go see the new house.
Xu Qianli and Liu Xinlan had already finished decorating yesterday, so today they just need to put up big red "囍" characters and some festive window decorations.
Xiang Shulan originally wanted to go too, but since she was also a bride, she couldn't go to see another bride.
He could only watch everyone busy from his own home.
Shen Qiaoyue followed the main group to Xu Qianli's house. Several men were cleaning and setting up in the yard, and some military and hospital personnel were doing things inside the house.
Everyone had a broad smile on their face.
Jiang Jinyao stood next to Shen Qiaoyue and whispered, "You're going to be quite a handful from now on!"
Shen Qiaoyue raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm not afraid of making a scene, what I'm afraid of is doing something shameful behind the scenes."
Jiang Jinyao patted Shen Qiaoyue on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll just watch the show."
This also explains Jiang Jinyao's stance.
Shen Qiaoyue was half-believing and half-doubting, but she already had her own ideas.
What's meant to happen will happen; since it's here, let's face it head-on.
Upon entering the courtyard, I saw what appeared to be a neighbor's wife from the family compound visiting.
Hello, sisters-in-law.
They all greeted him.
Liu Xinlan happily came out of the new house.
"The sisters-in-law are here!" Liu Xinlan greeted them warmly. "Come in and have a cup of hot tea, please?" Liu Xinlan cleaned the living room, and the table was covered with wedding candies and oranges.
He quickly explained with a smile, "The facilities at home aren't ready yet, so please come in and have a seat."
Shen Qiaoyue watched Liu Xinlan bustling about.
It seems that Liu Xinlan still likes Xu Qianli very much.
Otherwise, they would have finalized the marriage in the time it takes to deliver a meal.
Xu Qianli also came out of the room, holding a hammer. "Sisters-in-law, come in and sit down."
"Instructor Xu, what are you doing? You're carrying a hammer, do you think we're not welcome?" Grandma Zhao teased.
Everyone burst into laughter.
This made Liu Xinlan blush.
Xu Qianli put the hammer behind him and explained with a simple smile, "Of course you're welcome to use it. I just use it to install things."
"Aunt Zhao, our instructor wants to test how sturdy this bed is, since the wedding night festivities are coming up soon!"
"Hahaha!"
"Get out of here, you can't even shut your mouth while we're working." Xu Qianli scolded his comrade who was helping him.
Liu Xinlan felt ashamed to face anyone; could such words be said so bluntly?
In fact, Shen Qiaoyue had heard women talk even more enthusiastically about something else, like their wedding night in their past lives.
While she was waiting for Lu Chen in the new house, her sisters-in-law came to visit her and sat down to chat about what happened between them and their husbands in their rooms.
Shen Qiaoyue was incredibly shy after hearing this.
She had initially been somewhat looking forward to it, but was shocked to see Lu Chen come in drunk.
He took off his clothes as soon as he came in, staring at Shen Qiaoyue with eyes like a tiger.
At that time, I was only focused on being afraid and resisting, and I didn't care at all about how I felt.
When Shen Qiaoyue saw Liu Xinlan's expression, her face changed completely, turning bright red.
"I'll go check on how the food is going today." Xu Qianli saw Liu Xinlan's expression and quickly left.
Liu Xinlan was shocked to see Xu Qianli abandoning her all by himself; it was simply too much.
