Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 195 Sticky and Gooey
The doctor arrived quickly and, after examining them, told them, "The wound is fine. Don't move around for the next few days. Wait until the wound has healed a bit before getting out of bed."

After speaking to Bai Jing, the doctor turned his gaze to Jiang Chen, "You are in the same situation. Although the wound is on your hand, it is still a gunshot wound, so it won't heal that quickly. You also need to rest."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing was shocked. "What? You're injured too? How could you be so foolish? Hurry up and lie down to rest."

Thinking of the scene when he was by her bedside when she first woke up, Bai Jing was very worried. "Doctor, he was sleeping face down before. Please check how his wound is."

The doctor hadn't expected this turn of events; the young man was clearly unaware of the seriousness of his actions. "Come here, let me take a look at your wound."

You wouldn't believe it until you look; the gauze on Jiang Chen's wound was soaked with blood, and it was even stained with blood on his clothes.

The doctor immediately asked the nurse to get medicine and gauze, and re-bandaged Jiang Chen. Afterwards, the doctor even scolded Jiang Chen a few times.

Jiang Chen's eyes were glued to Bai Jing the whole time he was bandaging her up. When he saw her frowning, he couldn't help but use his uninjured hand to smooth it away. "Don't frown, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt."

Upon hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but press down on his wound, and Jiang Chen hissed.

The main problem was that he wasn't prepared; if he had been prepared, he definitely could have endured it.

Seeing him like this, the doctor smiled and said, "You still feel pain, don't you? I thought everything around here was damaged. Fortunately, you can still feel it."

Bai Jing's face was full of worry. Jiang Chen was afraid that she would overthink things, so he had to beg the doctor for forgiveness, "I was wrong, I will take good care of my injury."

"Alright, I know you young people have a lot to say, but you also need to rest. You've been on guard for so long, take a break. This comrade's injury also needs to be rested."

After giving some instructions, the doctor left the ward with the nurse.

After the doctor left, Bai Jing immediately told Jiang Chen to go back to bed and lie down, "Hurry up, don't make me say it a second time." At this moment, her domineering nature as the object of her affections was on full display.

Jiang Chen assured him repeatedly, "Okay, I'll get into bed, don't move."

The hospital stay lasted seven or eight days, and Bai Jing's leave was almost up. Helpless, she had to call Director Shao on the day she was discharged to ask for another month's leave.

She didn't tell them about her injury, afraid that her mother would worry if she found out. She only said that the army needed her help with something and that she would go back after it was over.

Director Shao didn't ask any more questions, since the systems were different and military matters were not his concern.

Bai Jing's leave was approved. Because of her injury, Jiang Chen refused to let her go back home immediately after being discharged from the hospital. He insisted that she should recover more before returning.

The two of them settled down at the military base.

What Bai Jing did couldn't be kept secret, at least not that battle.

Rumors are circulating that Jiang Chen married a formidable wife.

Jiang Chen's teammates all came to visit him.

Bai Jing felt that her injuries had almost healed, so she planned to cook a meal to treat them, but Jiang Chen disagreed no matter what she said, so in the end she could only go to the cafeteria to buy the food.

There were quite a few people there, including several leaders.

Bai Jing didn't know much about the military hierarchy, so she just called people whatever Jiang Chen told her to, since she didn't think she would have much contact with them in the future.

As a result, the tension with the leader disappeared, and everyone enjoyed a pleasant dinner.

After seeing Jiang Chen's comrades and superiors off, Bai Jing helped Jiang Chen tidy up the mess in the house. "How much longer do you have on your leave?" Her injuries had almost healed, and she wanted to go back. She didn't know if the matter the deputy city lord had mentioned had been resolved.

She couldn't forget her original aspirations because of Jiang Chen's situation; her original aspiration was to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

During her time in the army, she heard many people exaggerate about Jiang Chen. She couldn't let such a talented and capable person hold her back.

"I don't know, I haven't been notified to return to the team yet." He was still recovering from his injury, so he wasn't in a hurry. "What, do you want to go back?" Jiang Chen was also a little tempted by the thought of going back. After all, he and she would have a formal relationship after going back, so how could he not be excited?

"Well, before I came here, the deputy city lord gave me a new appointment letter. I don't know how it is now. I don't want to break my promise." There was another reason she didn't mention: I don't want to fall too far behind you.

"Is it dangerous?" He had learned a bit about his wife's abilities these days. For the deputy city lord to personally issue an appointment letter, the job she was doing must be quite demanding.

Bai Jing shook her head. "I don't know, but I believe in myself. I'm sure I'll be safe." It wasn't that she was arrogant; she hadn't displayed her formidable martial prowess in a long time, and she guessed that the position the deputy city lord had appointed her for was probably unrelated to martial arts.

It might be related to the investigation.

Jiang Chen didn't try to persuade her, but simply hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Nothing is more important than your safety. You're all I have left."

Those last few words made Bai Jing's heart tremble.

She hugged him back, "Yes, you still have me."

After staying at the military base for a few more days, Jiang Chen reported to his superiors, and the two decided to return to City A.

However, before going back, Bai Jing went to the hospital to pack a lot of tonics. She had been stewing tonics for Jiang Chen these past few days, and naturally, Jiang Chen had also forced her to drink quite a lot of them.

However, her body was too healthy; after eating it a few times, she actually got a nosebleed from the effects.

In the end, Jiang Chen stopped forcing her to drink it and obediently wrapped up all the medicinal soup himself.

Jiang Chen only then realized how much money she had subsidized for him.

The night before he left, Jiang Chen took out all his savings books.

Seeing the bankbook, Bai Jing looked puzzled. "Why are you giving me these?" She really didn't understand why he would do this.

After all, the military reimbursed her for the medicine, so she didn't really spend much money herself.

"Hand it over. From now on, all my salary and bonuses will be yours." He didn't say that the money was to make up for her; if he did, it would create distance, and he didn't want to be so clear about the division of responsibilities with her.

Bai Jing, seemingly lost in thought, smiled brightly as she accepted the bankbook he handed her. "You're quite self-aware, but aren't you afraid I'll squander all your money?"

Upon opening it, Bai Jing was surprised. "How can there be so much?" She couldn't believe the number written on it. Although there are many wealthy people these days, she had never seen anyone like Jiang Chen, who was in the military, with such a large sum of money.

“This money was left to me by my maternal grandfather, a total of 500,000 yuan.” As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out another book, “This one was left to me by my mother, and it contains 100,000 yuan.”

"This is what I saved after I started working. With bonuses, it's about twenty or thirty thousand yuan." There are three savings books in total, and Jiang Chen explained the source of each one to her.

"Does the military know about the money your grandfather gave you?" Such a large sum of money is no small amount.

Jiang Chen knew what she was worried about. "Don't worry, my grandfather was a wealthy businessman in his early years. He helped the country a lot during the war years and was in contact with the military, so the military knows about it."

With Jiang Chen's explanation, Bai Jing understood how farsighted Jiang Chen's grandfather was.
