Both of their husbands had mediocre qualifications, but thanks to following Gu Jingming, they were promoted to minor officials after years of experience.

They didn't ask for much, they just hoped that Gu Jingming would take better care of their husbands when they went on missions in the future.

As for promotion, given their husbands' qualifications, that's probably the limit, so they didn't expect it.

The first time Ye Qingtao went out, they warmly invited her out, just wanting to get closer to her.

Ye Qingtao looked at the herbs on the stall a few more times. They were all winter-specific medicinal herbs, with few varieties and small quantities.

The medicinal effects of these herbs are average and they can be easily picked in the mountains. Ye Qingtao took a look and felt not very satisfied.

She followed her sisters-in-law to buy some fresh meat and vegetables, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities.

After buying everything, a morning had passed.

Ye Qingtao followed her sisters-in-law home, and Wang Xiaoyu warmly invited her to dinner at her home.

"No, no, I can cook for myself."

Wang Xiaoyu came with her child, and her daily task was to take care of the child and do housework.

These trivial matters at the end of the day were enough to exhaust her.

Wang Xiaoyu is already too busy to handle everything, so how can Ye Qingtao have the nerve to go there and eat for free?

"Come on, come on. Huifang, come too. We can get along well. Let's have a meal together and get acquainted. We can also take care of each other in the future if anything happens."

Ye Qingtao originally didn't want to go, but since she had already said so much, it would be inappropriate not to go.

Most importantly, Wang Xiaoyu said that not going would mean looking down on her.

Ye Qingtao really couldn't resist such a high hat.

She used to be busy with studying and performing surgeries and rarely had any interpersonal interactions, so she was completely blank in this regard.

She doesn't know how to refuse others, especially when the other person is just grateful and has no bad intentions.

"Well, since I don't feel like cooking alone, I'll trouble Sister Xiaoyu."

The three of them returned to the family compound, and Ye Qingtao opened the door to put their things away.

Wang Xiaoyu and Li Huifang stood at the door and looked around.

"Your courtyard with its own entrance and exit is a comfortable place to live."

"I've wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I didn't dare to come before. I didn't expect to have the opportunity now."

Both of them were very curious about the yard where Ye Qingtao lived.

"You two sisters-in-law can come in and take a look, but the house has not been cleaned up yet and it still looks rather shabby."

Ye Qingtao invited the two of them in and enthusiastically made tea for them.

The two of them held enamel cups and looked around the room with their eyes rolling.

The house is full of old furniture, but it has a good orientation, is spacious, and has good air circulation, so it is very comfortable to live in.

It is worthy of being the leader’s house, it is indeed different from the ones they live in.

The two felt a little envious, but they could only sip their tea.

It's their fault that the men they married were not very promising, unlike Ye Qingtao who was so lucky.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry. It is better to be content with what you have.

Compared with those military wives who cannot accompany the troops and have to raise their children alone at home, they are much better off.

Ye Qingtao cut a piece of the meat she bought today and put some vegetables and fruits in the bag.

These things were originally the dishes she was going to make for lunch today, so she brought some more over so that the leftovers at home wouldn't go bad if kept for a long time.

Wang Xiaoyu and Li Huifang withdrew their gazes and left with some reluctance.

"Sister-in-law, let's go."

"Walk."

The two men affectionately held Ye Qingtao's arms and were extremely enthusiastic towards her.

Ye Qingtao followed the two to the family building. The building was quite old, with rooms on both sides and an aisle in the middle.

The stairs are a bit narrow and the handrails are rusty.

Wang Xiaoyu lives on the 5th floor and they have to climb the stairs to go up.

When I went upstairs and arrived at the place, I heard a child crying from the house.

When Wang Xiaoyu opened the door, she saw the two older children sitting on the floor playing and the youngest son came out of the kitchen crying.

"Oh, my baby, what happened to you?"

Wang Xiaoyu put down her things and hugged her son anxiously.

Her son's hand was burned and is now red and swollen, which looks quite shocking.

Wang Xiaoyu was so scared that tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes. It was not the first time she went out alone.

Usually the younger ones are taken care of by the older ones, so she doesn’t have to worry about anything no matter where she goes.

Today, the two older ones were so engrossed in playing chess that neither of them cared about their younger brother's life or death.

His son is only 5 years old this year, and the oldest one is a daughter who is over 10 years old.

The second child is also a son and he is 9 years old.

In their rural areas, the older ones take care of the younger ones, and the adults just do their own things.

I didn't expect that this time I would be pecked in the eye by an eagle and such a big mistake would happen.

Wang Xiaoyu was so frightened that she burst into tears.

She didn't care that there were guests at home and just pointed at the two older ones and scolded them.

"What did I tell you when I was leaving? I told you to keep an eye on your brother. Why did you let your brother go alone when the water was boiling in the kitchen?"

"You only know how to play all day long. Now you are having fun, but your brother has been killed by you!"

Wang Xiaoyu was about to start again while cursing. The two older ones knew they were in the wrong, so they stopped playing chess and lowered their heads in shame.

Their hands were twisted together and their faces were pale, obviously they were frightened.

Seeing this, Li Huifang rushed over to separate the two. Only Ye Qingtao held the child's hand and carefully checked his wound.

"Sister Xiaoyu, please don't worry. The child's hand is so burned. The most urgent thing now is not to blame the big boss, but to think about how to treat him."

Wang Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and her confused mind finally became clear.

"Yes, yes, the child should be treated. I will send him to the clinic now."

"It's no use sending them there now. The doctor at the clinic is on leave. Only the army has doctors."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't know about this situation, but Li Huifang knew.

Doctor Wang from the clinic is old, and this time something big happened at home so he took a long vacation.

Many people said that she might not come back this time.

Wang Xiaoyu's son got into trouble at this critical moment and couldn't even find a doctor.

When Wang Xiaoyu heard this, he fell to the ground, completely dumbfounded.

"What should we do? What should we do? Our son has such a big burn on his hand. If we don't treat it in time, it will get infected."

Wang Xiaoyu's tears fell down her face and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"To be honest with you two sisters-in-law, I was able to get to know Gu Jingming because I saved him because he fainted suddenly after his injury recurred."

"I've studied medicine and I can treat burns. If you trust me, let me give it a try, okay?"

The child's condition was urgent, and Ye Qingtao had already checked his condition in the chaos.

At this moment, as long as Wang Xiaoyu agreed, she could immediately rescue the child.
