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

Chapter 862 Didn't notice Lu Weijun's reddened ears
Chu Xue knew her mother was worried about her, so she wasn't angry: "Mom, someone was about to die, so I had to step in to save them. If I encounter something like this again, I'll definitely avoid it."

Hearing this, Xiao's mother calmed down a little: "Mom knows you're stronger than others, but there are always stronger people out there. What if you get hurt?"

Chu Xue touched Xiao's mother's belly: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again. Don't be angry. We need to stay calm and focus on the baby in your belly."

Mr. Xiao then stepped forward and handed her a glass of water with a little honey added: "Alright, the child is kind-hearted. It's getting late. After you drink this honey water, we should wash up and rest. I have an early shift tomorrow and need to get up early."

Chu Xue knew that Xiao's father was trying to help her out, so she smiled and clasped her hands in a fist salute to him: "Yes, yes, I'll go wash the clothes right away so they don't get ruined."

After saying that, he quickly made his escape.

Sure enough, the police came to the door early the next morning.

Because we were vaccinated last night as a precaution, my family wasn't panicked.

Among the people who came was the policeman who stayed at the hospital last night: "Comrade Xiao, I'm sorry, but we still need to ask you to come to the station to cooperate with the taking of a statement."

Fearing that the Xiao family might misunderstand, the police officer said to Xiao's parents, "Your daughter is very capable. She has helped our station a lot. Once the case is closed, the station will definitely help her apply for an award."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother forgot her worries and anger from the previous night and said with pride, "This isn't the first time my daughter has helped the police; she's already been praised twice."

The police officer, who was about to leave, thought, "Oh, that's impressive."

The police officer wanted to ask more questions, but Chu Xue changed the subject: "Business is important. Shall we go now, or..."

The police officer thought it would be fine to ask her in person on the way, so he smiled and said, "If it's convenient, you can go now, that way it won't delay your work." Chu Xue nodded in agreement.

When Lu Weijun slowly woke up in the hospital, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the person guarding his bedside.

After a while, he suddenly tried to sit up, but was stopped by someone who was quick-witted and agile: "Are you out of your mind? You barely escaped with your life, so you better stay put."

Lu Weijun opened his mouth to speak, but found his voice terribly hoarse. Ignoring the discomfort in his throat, he asked, "Where is Zheng Yihong?"

Grandpa Guo tucked the blanket around him: "Don't worry, he's fine. He's already woken up and is in the next room. He broke his leg and two ribs."

The old man knew they were on a mission, so he didn't ask about the specifics. Instead, he asked, "I heard the person who saved you yesterday was a girl. You'd better remember that kindness. The nurse said you were carried here on a door panel. Remember to thank her later, don't go there empty-handed."

Grandpa Guo was so engrossed in talking that he didn't notice Lu Weijun's reddened ear tips.

As the two were talking, the ward door was pushed open: "Wei Jun, you're awake. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Grandpa Guo looked at the thermos his youngest daughter-in-law was carrying, and moistened Lu Weijun's lips with a cotton swab dipped in water: "The doctor said that he can't drink water or eat until he passes gas."

Upon hearing her father-in-law's words, Liu Haijuan looked at her cousin and asked, "Weijun, have you expelled the gas?"

Lu Weijun looked at his cousin with a complicated expression: "I just woke up. I don't know if I passed gas before. I'll have to ask Uncle Guo."
