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

Chapter 622 is truly speechless.
Just as Mr. Liu straightened up, he saw his youngest daughter rush in. Seeing her heading straight for his wife, he reached out and stopped her, saying, "How old are you? You're always so reckless."

Chunxiao ignored what his father was saying and kept his eyes fixed on Liu's mother: "Mom, are you really pregnant? I'm going to have a younger brother or sister?"

Liu's mother looked embarrassed. After all, she was about to become a grandmother and was pregnant again. But since her little girl had asked, she couldn't lie to her. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

After it was confirmed, Chunxiao wasn't excited; instead, her face fell.

Seeing her youngest daughter's expression, Liu's mother asked, "What's wrong?"

Chunxiao stared at Liu's mother's belly, a barely perceptible look of disgust flashing in her eyes, but Chuxue, with her keen senses, caught it right in the eye.

Chu Xue couldn't help but frown slightly.

She didn't know why Chunxiao had changed so much since the family split up, and to be honest, she really couldn't like her.

Upon hearing Liu's mother's question, Chunxiao quickly composed herself: "It's nothing, I was just quite surprised to hear the news."

Fearing she might overthink things, Liu's mother said, "Since she's here, it means she's meant to be our child. Don't worry, whether it's a boy or a girl, to me, you're both my children, and I won't favor one over the other."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "If it's a boy, then you three sisters will have someone to rely on in the future. If it's a girl, then you'll have someone to help you in the future. That's good too."

Chunxiao didn't say anything, but just nodded: "Mom, I'm going back to my room to do my homework."

Thinking of what her little girl had told her the day before yesterday—that she would study hard and find a job in the city like her second sister—she thought Chunxiao was about to start working hard: "Okay, go ahead." Back in her room, Chunxiao threw her schoolbag on the desk and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Thinking of what those people said today: "Chunxiao, no matter whether your mother gave birth to a boy or a girl, you will be the one who suffers the most."

At first she was angry, but when she heard what the man said next: "Think about it, if it's a boy, that's what your parents have been hoping for all this time, and they'll cherish him. You girls will naturally have to take a backseat. If you're unlucky and have a girl, that's still what your parents have been hoping for all these years. If they can't have any more children, this one will be their youngest child, and that child will be someone you can't compare to."

As for your eldest sister, she's already married and is your parents' first child, so their relationship is naturally different. Your second sister, in the past, might not have held the same status as your eldest sister, but things are different now. Your second sister has a stable job and even accompanied your father to the city for leg treatment. Naturally, she holds a significant place in your parents' hearts as well.

She knew she shouldn't believe these words, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother smiling and stroking her belly, and that expression really made her feel uncomfortable.

Chu Xue kept moving her hands, but used her spiritual power to follow Chun Xiao into the house. Seeing that Chun Xiao threw down her schoolbag and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and kept frowning, Chu Xue knew that this person was probably stuck in a rut again.

She didn't know what to say. Wasn't life better now than before?

Why do you have to think about all that nonsense? It's really frustrating.

If she continues to be like this, there will be many more difficult days ahead.

On the other side, Fu Yancheng and his teammates were carrying out a capture operation in the woods: "Ma Wuliang, you take a team and go from the left, I'll take a team and go to the right. We'll surround them from the front, but keep it quiet and don't let anyone find out."
