Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 276 Not Afraid of Death
With just this one question, Tang Qiyue understood what the old chief meant.

As expected of someone in a position of power, he knows that everything comes at a price, but he doesn't consider the price to be a big deal.

Even if it's dangerous, if it can create a few super soldiers like Zhan Zeye, then it's worth it.

Tang Qiyue disliked the old chief's indifference to human life, but she also knew that their considerations differed from her own.

Ultimately, a conservative figure was given.

She can provide it, but the value is too high; she needs too many points, and not many at all.

Even if the old leader had some suspicions, he wouldn't investigate further, since the fact that this thing could be brought out meant that they had gained an advantage.

Zhan Zeye did not participate at all; he seemed to be just a background character.

After finishing their business, the old leader jokingly asked Zhan Zeyi, "Weren't you very arrogant before? Why are you so well-behaved now?"

You should know that this troublesome person used to be his biggest headache.

Now he can actually watch Tang Qiyue talk to him quietly, as if he has become Tang Qiyue's vassal.

Zhan Zeye shrugged: "I'm almost thirty, and I have three sons to support. Can't I be a little more mature?"

These words reminded the old leader.

He's gotten old, and now he's all alone.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're more mature, so you won't be criticized in the future!"

The old commander was grooming Zhan Zeye to be his successor, but Zhan Zeye saw through his intentions and said directly, "Don't even think about making me do what you're supposed to do. First, I don't like all that complicated stuff, and second, I want to spend time with my wife!"

He didn't care about rights or status; he just wanted to protect his family.

Over the past few years, this idea has become even clearer.

Moreover, he sometimes remembers that scene in the middle of the night, the scene he saw at the end of the time rift, a scene he can never forget for the rest of his life.

Whenever that happened, he would subconsciously feel grateful that he was able to marry Tang Qiyue.

"Aren't you afraid your sons will look down on you and become addicted to living off your wife?"

The old commander looked down on Zhan Zeyi's henpecked attitude, but Zhan Zeyi said, "It's my skill to have a wife. As for those three brats looking down on me because of that, it means I failed in my parenting!"

Old Commander: ...

He really didn't know what to say.

Zhan Zeye wasn't a chauvinist in the conventional sense, and he genuinely didn't care about such reputation.

"Fine, you deal with your own situation, kid. I'm too lazy to argue with you. But you need to understand what you're doing right now!"

There's still plenty of time; as long as he's alive, there's always a chance to persuade this guy.

Moreover, Zhan Zeye is still too young to advance further and needs to continue honing his skills.

The construction of the island is Zhan Zeye's greatest achievement. Tang Qiyue certainly doesn't want to be in the public eye, so in the end, it will still have to be Zhan Zeye who takes charge.

The old leader considered himself to be quite good at judging people.

The conversation didn't continue on that topic. Fortunately, the sea outside was relatively calm, so Old Li asked if we wanted to go fishing.

Since they were idle anyway, and all the fishing boats had fishing rods on hand, everyone was eager to try.

The old leader also wanted to try fishing, but Tang Qiyue didn't participate; she went to check on the kitchen.

After all, eating at sea is a big deal.

Zhan Zeyi accompanied the old commander on the deck for sea fishing. There were quite a few other people around, and it seemed they weren't out to deal with pirates, but rather on vacation. Tang Qiyue saw her uncle in the kitchen and knew that he was on the ship because the old commander had come along. His cooking skills were limited, so he naturally wouldn't stop Tang Qiyue.

The two of them worked together and prepared a lot of delicious dishes, which were even better than what they ate on the island.

The ease of navigation proved advantageous when actually facing the enemy.

Originally, the old commander didn't want Tang Qiyue to participate in the battle, but Tang Qiyue said that her combat power was even inferior to Zhan Zeye's, and besides, she didn't like the feeling of being constantly protected.

The main reason is that this operation was carried out in the pirates' stronghold, so they weren't afraid of being targeted.

Tang Qiyue's willingness to act freely left the old commander feeling helpless, but he didn't object anymore. Anyway, with Zhan Zeyi and the others around, they would definitely not let anything happen to Tang Qiyue.

With the old commander in charge at the rear, he wanted to rush out, but no one agreed, especially since his uncle and Uncle Li were assigned to watch over him.

The old leader could only drink tea in the back, looking quite displeased.

His purpose in coming out was to fight, but the result was still not allowed.

Life is very frustrating.

Fortunately, after the first wave of clearing, the old commander was finally able to go to the island, and what happened next gave him a real treat.

The casualties were all within an acceptable range, and Tang Qiyue was so busy collecting things that her hands were sore.

Despite their seemingly rough lifestyle, the contents of their treasure vault were something Tang Qiyue had never imagined.

It's probably because this is a relatively good location, and people often rob passing ships and sunken fishing boats in the area.

The amount of treasure recovered is considerable.

These things were difficult for the pirates to deal with, so they all ended up benefiting Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue redeemed everything directly through the system, keeping only a few small items she liked.

After finishing all that, Tang Qiyue gave the old chief ten doses of gene enhancement drugs.

This item was already very expensive, so Tang Qiyue didn't rip off too much.

The old commander felt it was a bit of a loss to only get ten potions after raiding a pirate den. Fortunately, Tang Qiyue told him that this was the only amount they could exchange, and the remaining points should be used to exchange for supplies to invest in the island's production.

Back on the island, a large amount of resources were invested in construction, and the island's development entered another frenzied phase.

Tang Qiyue had no time to rest and was called away by people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who said they didn't understand some aspects of the plant-based medicines they were cultivating and needed her help.

Zhan Zeye looked at his wife's back with resentment, thinking that everyone in the world was trying to steal his wife away.

What happened to the promise that it would only be for him?

Even his three sons looked resentful: "Dad, are you no good? Why is Mom busy again?"

Even though they live on an island and their father is a high-ranking official, why does their mother seem to be busier?

Zhan Zeye hated being told he was no good, but since it was his son who said it, he could only lift up Lu Jun and spank his little bottom twice.

"I'm just respecting my wife, you guys don't understand!"

Lu Jun wasn't angry even after being hit; instead, he continued to stab him in the heart: "Tch, you don't want respect at all; you just don't dare disobey your mother. Your aunt and grandma have both said that you're a henpecked husband!"

Zhan Zeye: ...

Although it is true, I don't want my sons to point it out.

"You brats, you don't know anything! Once you get married, you'll know how to listen to your wives!"

The navy shook his head in disagreement, saying, "Dad, you're wrong. We can listen to Mom from now on, but we won't listen to our wives. Do you know why?"
