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

Chapter 823 The Old Master's Test
In the end, Grandpa Xiao didn't voice his suspicions to his daughter-in-law, after all, she was pregnant, and it wouldn't be good if he frightened her.

She only said that she had fallen accidentally and lost the baby, but she still specifically told her second daughter-in-law not to go out after dark, and to put the baby in her belly first.

He was determined to find the mastermind behind this, otherwise the Xiao family would never have peace.

Chunxiao probably sensed that her grandfather was in a bad mood, so she stopped pretending to be obedient and went back to her room early.

Seeing that the old man looked unwell, Chu Xue said, "Grandpa, go back to your room and rest early. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow."

The old man, worried about disturbing his daughter-in-law's rest, nodded and said, "Okay."

Chu Xue led the old man to the room reserved for him: "Grandpa, don't think too much. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and maybe good news will come tomorrow."

Thinking about what his son had told him before, Grandpa Xiao suddenly asked, "Chuxue, would you like to join the army?"

Hearing the question, Chu Xue was a little surprised, but she understood what he meant. However, she had no intention of joining the army: "Grandpa, I am quite satisfied with my current job."

My uncle, Xiao Changjiang, was originally developing his career in the military, but later, due to a recurrence of an old injury, he could no longer stay in the military. Although it was regrettable, there was nothing that could be done about it.

Among the grandchildren, only the eldest cousin, Xiao Wancheng, served in the army. However, due to an injury, he was unable to keep up with the high-intensity training and was transferred to become a railway police officer. The only other person is his cousin's husband, who is still working in the military. Therefore, it is understandable that the old man wants her to join the military.

When Grandpa Xiao heard his granddaughter's words, he wasn't too disappointed, since her current job was indeed suitable for a girl.

At this moment, Xiao Changsheng brought in water: "Dad, wash your face and soak your feet, it will make you more comfortable to sleep." Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Chuxue said goodbye and left the room.

Instead of going straight back to her own room, she went into her parents' room next door: "Mom, you don't need to prepare breakfast for Auntie tomorrow morning. Her house is close to the hospital, and her mother-in-law will definitely deliver it. I'll get up a little early tomorrow and go to Houhai to see if I can catch a fish. You can have some fish then. I'll come back in the middle of the morning to deliver some to Auntie."

Zhao Lamei heard her daughter's words: "You don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll go instead. Anyway, it's not too far away."

Chu Xue couldn't let her go; she couldn't let the people behind Jiang Huiwen keep targeting her mother: "You're new to the city and don't know anyone, so I'll go instead. Besides, your top priority right now is to take care of your pregnancy."

Not only were her family members worried about her pregnancy, but she also knew that pregnancy at an advanced age was inherently high-risk, so she didn't argue with her daughter: "Okay, what time will you be back?"

Seeing that she agreed, Chu Xue was relieved: "I'll be home around ten o'clock."

The mother and daughter talked for a while: "You should go to sleep early, I'm going back to my room."

Back in the main house on the far west side, after closing the doors and windows, I went straight into the space. I saw that the old man had coughed several times today. Although it wasn't too serious, I was afraid that I would have neglected it because I was busy these past few days.

There's a loquat tree in the space, and a lot of loquats are stored in the warehouse, so I thought I'd make some loquat syrup. It's getting cooler, and there's a pregnant woman at home, so it's good to have some of these things on hand, just in case.

I had stored some rock sugar in my space before, and now it comes in handy.
