Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 360 Extra Chapter 21: Triplets

After Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng left, An Hui and Ma Hongmei cleaned the house inside and out, even changing the pillowcases and sheets to clean ones.

After cleaning the house, the two took their dirty clothes, sheets, and mosquito nets to the well to wash them.

“Commander Lu’s mother, his cousin’s wife, I just finished washing up, you can wash here.”

Upon seeing the two arrive, some family members voluntarily gave up their seats.

Ma Hongmei quickly thanked her, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. You've just arrived. Just let us know if you need any help."

An Hui smiled and nodded at the other person.

The two men washed clothes while chatting with the family members, and soon became close friends.

"Commander Lu's mother, you are so lucky! You raised such an outstanding son as Commander Lu, and you also married such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law as Xiao Jiang. From now on, you can just enjoy your retirement."

When listening to the first half, An Hui remained calm.

The third child's exceptional talent is obvious to all; she's heard about it so many times over the years that she's practically worn out.

However, upon hearing the latter half, she couldn't help but glance at the person.

Beautiful, capable, and a good daughter-in-law—you're really good at lying through your teeth.

She knew her third son's wife's character better than anyone else.

An Hui subconsciously thought that the other party was praising Jiang Moli against her conscience to please her.

She habitually tried to smooth things over for Jiang Moli, saying, "You flatter me. Moli is young, so please forgive her if she makes any mistakes."

Another family member chimed in, "If you say that Xiao Jiang is inconsiderate, then there is no one in this world who is inconsiderate."

Just as An Hui thought this person was also intentionally flattering her, she heard another family member's voice:

"Xiao Jiang's character is truly impeccable. Who in our residential compound hasn't benefited from her kindness?"

"Although Xiao Jiang hasn't been in the family compound for long, he's done quite a few good deeds..."

After An Hui and Ma Hongmei finished washing their clothes and returned home, more family members came to deliver fruits, vegetables, pickle jars, and freshly fried vegetable pancakes, piling them all up on the dining table.

An Hui and Ma Hongmei looked at each other in disbelief.

Has the third son's wife/niece-in-law changed her ways?

What used to be hated by everyone is now praised by everyone?
……

When Jiang Moli returned home at noon, she saw the clothes, sheets, and cloth shoes drying in the yard and smelled the aroma of food coming from the house, and a sense of happiness welled up in her heart.

A child with a mother is a treasure.

Clutching her belly, she excitedly rushed into the kitchen. "Mom, Auntie, what are you cooking for lunch? It smells so good!"

Seeing her looking like a hungry cat, An Hui teased, "I thought you had eaten your fill outside and weren't hungry."

Jiang Moli pretended to be naive: "I didn't eat. I came back as soon as I got off work."

Ma Hongmei exposed her: "You went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy chicken cakes, and everyone saw you."

As long as she isn't embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.

Jiang Moli calmly said, "What if she's mistaken, and that person isn't me? What kind of good person would bring this up in front of you? This is malicious, deliberately trying to sow discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's very bad! Even if I really did secretly buy food outside, are you all without fault? I've already said I'm not full, and you won't let me eat. I'm starving and uncomfortable. Is it against the law for me to eat something?"

Jiang Moli originally intended to gloss over the matter, but as she talked about it, tears streamed down her face like a faucet.

She felt a little wronged, but it was mostly due to emotional instability during pregnancy. Her crying startled An Hui and Ma Hongmei.

The two men pulled her aside, apologizing and coaxing her.

Jiang Moli quickly calmed down, and her tears gradually stopped.

Just then, Lu Cheng entered the room right on time.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that her eyes and nose were red, clearly indicating that she had been crying, I instinctively asked her what was wrong.

Just those two sentences brought tears streaming down Jiang Moli's face again.

Her crying worried Lu Cheng greatly and made him feel even more heartbroken. He immediately decided to take Jiang Moli to the city for a prenatal checkup the next day.

If macrosomia can be ruled out, Jiang Moli will no longer have to suffer from hunger.

If not, then listen to the doctor; it's always better than their wild guesses.

……

The next morning, Jiang Peng drove Jiang Moli to the Xicheng People's Hospital, accompanied by Lu Cheng and An Hui.

The People's Hospital is far superior to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in terms of both medical equipment and technical strength.

After learning about Jiang Moli's basic situation, the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department held a special consultation for her.

After nearly three hours of comprehensive examination and discussion, the hospital finally gave the following diagnosis:

"After a joint diagnosis by three senior obstetricians and gynecologists in our hospital, it was found that there are two or more fetuses in the pregnant woman's uterine cavity."

The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue; everyone except Jiang Moli was stunned.

Lu Cheng's expression was extremely serious. "Doctor, have you completed the examination?"

More than the joy of having three babies, he was worried that Jiang Moli's body couldn't handle the burden and risks of carrying triplets. He felt guilty and annoyed that he hadn't taken Jiang Moli to the hospital for a check-up sooner.

"The fetal heartbeat is not yet clear, and the diagnosis results may vary. But based on my personal experience, it is likely triplets. For a 100% accurate result, we will have to wait another month. You can also go to another hospital for a second opinion."

As they left the hospital, the whole family's eyes fell on Jiang Moli's protruding belly.

While ruling out macrosomia brought a sigh of relief, the risks associated with triplets were no less than those of macrosomia, so much so that no one showed any joy, but rather was filled with worry.

Jiang Moli was being helped by Lu Cheng to walk towards the parking area when they suddenly stopped.

This made her family, who were concerned about her, extremely nervous.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do you need to go to the toilet?"

Jiang Moli clutched her stomach, looking expectantly at her family. "I'm hungry. Aren't you all hungry?"

It was past lunchtime, but everyone was so focused on the triplets that they completely forgot about their hunger.

Lu Cheng quickly found a nearby restaurant to eat.

Knowing that Jiang Moli was carrying triplets instead of a macrosomic baby, An Hui's attitude changed drastically. She diligently helped Jiang Moli serve food, rice, and soup, treating her like royalty, as if afraid that the mother and her four children wouldn't have enough to eat.

Happy National Day, my darlings!
