1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 40 won't keep you waiting too long.

Chen Weiping scratched his head in frustration, knowing that what she said made sense: "How about this, you just got back from a trip and can rest for a day. I'll take you to the city hospital tomorrow."

The woman leaned back into Chen Weiping's arms: "Brother Weiping, I'll do whatever you say."

With a soft, warm body in his arms, he enjoyed many sweet treats, but forgot about his promise to his grandfather.

As darkness fell, she said, "Xiaoru, it's getting late, I have to go back. I'll come pick you up first thing tomorrow morning."

The woman clung to him, refusing to let go, and said in a coquettish voice, "Can't you stay?"

Chen Weiping reassured them, "I'll tell the family everything once the test results come out tomorrow. I won't keep you waiting too long."

Having received the promise he wanted, he reluctantly sent the person out of the hospital.

Watching the person walk away, the woman turned around and closed the courtyard gate.

She subconsciously touched her stomach, a triumphant smile playing on her lips: So what if the elders of the Chen family don't agree? As long as Chen Weiping's heart is with her, she's determined to join the Chen family.

Chen Weiping, who had just left, was in a much worse situation. Just now, with such a beautiful woman in his arms, he would have agreed to anything.

Now that the cold wind has blown, my mind has cleared up considerably, and I've become afraid.

At the hospital, Mr. Liu's surgery went smoothly.

After Vice President Sun came out, he specifically spoke a few words to the mother and daughter, pointing to the doctor beside him: "The subsequent treatment will be handled by this Dr. Jiang. If you have any questions, just consult him."

Since Vice President Sun had said so, Dr. Jiang naturally couldn't be aloof: "If there's anything you need, just come to my office."

After thanking them repeatedly, the mother and daughter followed the nurse to take Mr. Liu to his ward.

The nurse who brought them over gave the mother and daughter some instructions and then left. Seeing that Liu's father wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she said, "Mom, you stay with Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

Liu's mother was a little worried: "Xue, this is not our countryside. We don't know anyone here. Don't go too far."

He wanted to stop his daughter, but as Vice President Sun had said before, she wouldn't be able to leave the hospital anytime soon: "Why don't you stay here and stay with your father, I..."

Liu Chuxue knew what she was worried about and stopped her, saying, "Have you forgotten how strong I am?"

Seeing what his mother was about to say, he said, "We'll be staying here for quite a while. Didn't Vice Dean Sun say that we have to ensure my father gets the nutrition he needs during this time? We have to think of a way."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Liu's mother's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Given their family's situation, they didn't even have enough money for medical treatment, let alone nutrition. She blamed herself and her daughter for being useless: "Then come back soon."

Liu Chuxue didn't rush to leave. Instead, she took out a large bowl from her bundle and said, "Mom, I'll go get some hot water first."

This family was truly poor; they carried only rough porcelain bowls when they went out, and enamel mugs were out of the question.

When her family member in the next bed heard her go to get water, they kindly reminded her, "Young lady, you have to go to the boiler room at the back of the first floor to get hot water, but cold water is available on every floor."

"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie."

Seeing how polite Liu Chuxue was, the aunt smiled and praised Liu's mother, "Sister, your daughter is beautiful and speaks so politely. It's really lovely. You two are really good at raising children."

When Liu's mother heard people praising her daughter, the worry on her face lessened: "My husband and I are both rough people, it's all thanks to the good education from the school teachers."

"Sister-in-law, you are too modest."

Liu's mother said with pride, "I'm telling you the truth, my daughter will graduate from high school in another six months."
