1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 166 Why Shouldn’t I Care?

"I'm sick!"

Old Mrs. Wu said unhappily.

You can't enjoy your life so well, but you have to lie dead in the hospital!
If she wasn't worried about damaging Dabao's reputation, she would definitely criticize Wang Manzhi in public.

There was a moment of silence, and then someone asked, "Is he still in the hospital? Is Comrade Wang okay? Should we go check on him?"

Old Mrs. Wu moved her lips, and Wu Weimin pulled her sleeve.

"My wife gave birth prematurely and is feeling a little unwell. She'll need to stay in the hospital for a while. Thank you for your concern. Let her rest and recuperate for a while."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Most of those present had given birth before, some of them prematurely. Staying in the hospital for three days and not being able to return was definitely no small matter.

But from the looks of the Wu mother and son, it was hard to tell how serious Wang Manzhi's condition was, and no one would have guessed that she had undergone surgery for postpartum hemorrhage.

Zheng Aimei naturally didn't say anything. She hoped that no one knew about it, so that everyone wouldn't remember this matter as soon as they saw Wu Baozhu.

"Sister-in-law, let's go into the house first. I'll help you clean up and send Qiu back later."

"Why send her back?" Old Mrs. Wu blurted out, then she thought of something and changed her words, "She should come back. How can a sister be away when her brother is born?"

The little girl came back just in time to wash diapers. Wang Manzhi was still lying there, and Wu Weimin had to go to work. She really couldn't take care of everything by herself.

Old Mrs. Wu glanced at Zheng Aimei nonchalantly and said, "Four cans of milk powder at home might not be enough. We have so many children, and if one of us neglects Dabao, what will happen?"

She already knew what Wu Baozhu had done, so she naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to take control of Zheng Aimei.

Fortunately, Dabao was fine, otherwise, regardless of whether Wu Baozhu's surname was Wu or not, she would have made a big fuss.

Zheng Aimei could only pinch her nose and admit: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not treat Dabao unfairly."

It's just money, she gives it to me, just think of it as buying peace of mind.

Old Mrs. Wu finally had enough of showing off. She glanced towards the courtyard ten meters away. What a pity, the man surnamed Lu was not...

Oh, look, this person is here without any hesitation!

Old Mrs. Wu changed direction and was no longer in a hurry to go home. She couldn't enjoy her meal unless she showed off to Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou walked with his head down, his mind full of data.

The small-scale implementation has entered the second round. Currently, all data meet the standards. If there are no problems in the final review, it will soon be put into mass production.

This is an important step in the localization and upgrading of diving equipment. The hard work during this period has finally paid off.

She met with someone from the military district today. They apologized to her on behalf of the military district and explained that this was a secret project and could not be publicly commended. However, internal honors would be recorded truthfully and material rewards would not be reduced.

Lu Youyou doesn't care about these things, she didn't want to be famous anyway.

If possible, she would like to immediately build an aircraft carrier and perform a great feat, so that Gu Qingye can be promoted three levels and leave the front line sequence, so that he will never have to go to the front line again.

Unfortunately, this is just a pipe dream. She could never dream of such a good thing.

Being able to improve diving equipment and effectively increase the survival rate of every soldier in the army is already her limit at this stage.

Her mind was full of things, and Lu Youyou didn't notice how many people were standing in front of her, but someone walked towards her in a swagger and stopped only when he was in front of her.

The large floral quilt in Old Lady Wu's hand was so conspicuous that Lu Youyou could see it just by raising her eyes. Above it was a smug old face with wrinkles and orange peels piled up together, so ugly that it was disgusting.

She definitely didn't come here to apologize. Lu Youyou didn't want to pay any attention to her. Arguing with such a person was like talking to a cow.

Lu Youyou wanted to leave, and Old Lady Wu naturally wouldn't let her. But she couldn't go any further. Zhuifeng had already jumped out of the yard to block the way, and Xiao Huihui followed and stood on Zhuifeng's back, like a general leading an expedition. Old Lady Wu had just been frightened by Xiao Huihui three days ago, and the words on her lips were immediately frightened back.

Lu Youyou: "I advise you to stay away from her. Don't worry about yourself, but always care about your children."

Old Mrs. Wu hugged her grandson tighter in a panic, but still refused to admit defeat.

"What are you so proud of? You're still a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. I wonder how long you can keep being so carefree."

The old woman's voice was quite loud, and Zheng Aimei, Wu Weimin, and a group of onlookers behind her all heard it.

Wu Weimin regretted not pulling the person back. He thought the old lady was just showing off her grandson, but who would have thought that Lu Youyou's casual words would make the old lady so excited.

Zheng Aimei looked worried, but she was already smiling in her heart. She deserved it for not learning her lesson!

She once again despised Wu Weimin. This was Old Wu's so-called heir, who could only hide behind his mother and had no future!

Lu Youyou didn't even look at the old woman, but raised her head and looked at Wu Weimin.

"Comrade Wu Weimin, what is the crime of insulting, slandering, and spreading rumors that harm the reputation of military families?"

The onlookers’ eyes widened, wow, the show is coming, wonderful, exciting, love to watch!
Wu Weimin felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He didn't expect that he couldn't escape even from such a distance.

Lu Youyou went straight to the point and said that the old lady had handed her the evidence herself, so she couldn't even try to make excuses.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, he couldn't ignore his own mother, so he could only come out stiffly to smooth things over.

"Comrade Lu, the old lady was really happy these past two days and didn't get enough rest. It's possible that she spoke carelessly when she wasn't paying attention. Don't mind it."

Lu Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why shouldn't I care?"

"Comrade Lu, why bother with the old man?"

"Comrade Wu, do you think I'm being picky, or is your mother just making a fuss out of nothing?"

Old Mrs. Wu was not going to take it anymore. Perhaps because of her son's support, she was very confident: "Who are you talking about? This little girl is sharp-tongued and has no manners!"

Lu Youyou looked at Wu Weimin with a smile.

"Comrade Wu, you heard it all. Your mother has slandered me and insulted my family for no reason. The army is a place where reason prevails. It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I'm saying. There are always people who do. Now, please move aside. I need to go home."

Old Mrs. Wu was about to say something when Zhuifeng yelled at her several times. The old woman hit her left foot against her right foot and almost lost her balance. Wu Weimin was quick to hold her up.

Old Mrs. Wu was completely furious. She held the child in one hand and pointed with the other tremblingly: "You evil-hearted woman, if you drop the child, I will fight you to the death!"

Unfortunately, the only response she got was Lu Youyou’s back without even turning her head.

What's the point of playing the lute to a cow? Just hit the snake at its most vulnerable part and deal with Wu Weimin directly.

Old Mrs. Wu went home angrily and took it out on Qiu Tian.

Wu Weimin didn't care at all and just focused on his own thoughts.

To be honest, he didn't want to offend Lu Youyou. He admitted that he had made a mistake before and that Gu Qingye didn't marry Hua.

The more capable Lu Youyou is, the more weight her words carry. Instead of letting her not know where to complain, it is better to make a big thing small.

"Mom, come here for a moment. I want to discuss something with you."
