After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 50 Qiao Nian is the group's darling!
Li Ruihua and Qiao Nian talked about what happened last night.

"The stillborn fetus had stayed in the pregnant woman's womb for too long. Although it was expelled through acupuncture and medication, the mother had completely lost her fertility."

It's not just about losing the ability to have children.

Last night, Niu Xianhua was bleeding heavily and almost lost her life.

Li Ruihua recounted the events of the previous night to Qiao Nian in detail, and Qiao Nian listened attentively, carefully remembering her master's words.

As for Niu Xianhua almost dying, Qiao Nian had no other thoughts except that she felt she had brought it upon herself.

Around one o'clock, Lu Xiao returned from the county.

He brought back two large, heavy packages. One package contained cured meat, milk powder, sausages, salted duck, and dried chicken, among other things.

The other package contained several new cotton-padded coats and three very soft scarves.

Lu Xiao unfolded the package, and before Qiao Nian could say anything, Nian Yunci exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you bring back so much stuff?"

"How much would that cost in tickets?"

Qiao Nian also looked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao explained, "I asked my brother to get two cans of milk powder before. When he asked me, I told him it was for Niannian to drink."

In addition, Qiao Nian had called her parents before, so the elderly couple and her older brother would naturally send some things over.

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his pocket. Inside the envelope was a remittance slip and some nationally valid tickets.

"Mom asked me to give this to you."

"Ok?"

Qiao Nian took the remittance slip with suspicion and saw that it said one thousand yuan.

A thousand dollars is a lot these days.

The fact that her mother-in-law gave so much at once caught Qiao Nian, who was already feeling a little guilty, even more off guard.

"Why did Mom send me so much money? Her monthly salary isn't much."

"Mom said my allowance is low and she's worried you're not eating well."

"I'm afraid you'll suffer, but I'm even more worried that her grandson isn't getting enough nutrition."

Lu Xiao didn't hide anything and told Qiao Nian everything about his phone call with his parents.

Qiao Nian put the remittance slip away with a hint of helplessness. "Didn't you know I had money? Didn't you tell Mom?"

“Honey, this is Mom’s thoughtful gift, so we’ll accept it.”

"She said she's been busy lately and doesn't have time. She'll make time to come see you and the baby after you give birth."

Lu Xiao then spoke to his wife.

Qiao Nian was still worried about how to explain the events of the past five years, but judging from Lu Xiao's words, her parents-in-law didn't seem to care at all.

They just wanted her back.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes became a little moist.

To hide her emotions, she gave a haughty snort.

"I have good taste; I've been fortunate to have such wonderful parents and family."

Lu Xiao smiled and agreed.

I sorted and put away all the things my mother-in-law sent, and also took the two cotton coats that were sent to my parents to their room.

Looking at the brand-new cotton coat and the soft scarf, Nian Yunci couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

“Your parents have always been thinking about us. A few years ago, they also thought about sending us things, but your father and I both felt that our current status was not suitable for wearing these new clothes.”

"In addition, it's inconvenient for us to go to the county, so we've never asked our son-in-law to give them our address."

Nian Yunci said this because she was worried that her daughter would misunderstand why the Lu family hadn't sent anything in the past few years.

It's not that they don't want to send it, it's that the Qiao family won't allow it.

Qiao Nian understood.

"I know."

“My parents aren’t the kind of people who look down on us just because we were sent to the countryside.”

Qiao Nian was quite familiar with the character of the Lu family.

Seeing that her daughter hadn't misunderstood, Nian Yunci was relieved.

"After the New Year, go to the family compound with your son-in-law and live a good life. Don't worry about me and your father."

“Mom, Lu Xiao needs to go back to apply for the family compound and he needs to get everything ready before he comes to pick us up. We can’t get there so quickly.”

Qiao Nian grasped Nian Yunci's hand and lowered her voice, saying, "Lu Xiao said he's very busy with work. Once I'm a little further along in my pregnancy, he'll apply to his superiors to let you and my father go to the family compound so you can stay there and take care of me." "This…"

Nian Yunci immediately tensed up, "My identity and your father's identity..."

"Won't your son-in-law's actions implicate you?"

More than her own misfortune, Nian Yunci was worried about her daughter and son-in-law's well-being.

She and Old Joe are getting on in years and no longer crave a good life.

But daughters and sons-in-law are different; they still have a long way to go.

"Mom, don't worry, Lu Xiao said it's okay."

Qiao Nian comforted her mother.

Nian Yunci sighed, "We can't let this affect our son-in-law's work."

"Will not."

Qiao Nian is not the kind of person who would force her husband to make sacrifices for her parents.

Lu Xiao wasn't the kind of person who couldn't do something but still tried to put on a brave face.

Therefore, if Lu Xiao dared to make that promise to her, then he must have a way.

They should just wait patiently.

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Nian Yunci asked Qiao Nian to put the new cotton-padded jacket and scarf into her space.

"Your dad and I have clothes to wear, so let's put these new ones away for now."

"Take them out when we have no clothes left to wear."

Although Tian Weiqiang has been arrested and sentenced, no one in the village will cause trouble for a while.

But you can't be sure about everything.

Nian Yunci has been terrified over the years.

It's always better to be cautious when doing things.

Qiao Nian felt a pang of sadness as she looked at her wary mother.

"Mom, don't be afraid, it will all pass, everything will be alright."

"Um……"

After the mother and daughter talked for a while, Qiao Nian took out a roll of yarn from her space.

"Mom, the New Year is coming soon, and I want to knit a scarf for my master and his wife. Can you teach me how to knit one?"

"it is good."

Nian Yunci was pleased that her daughter was filial.

She smiled as she taught her daughter to knit a scarf.

"Where's your son-in-law? He's been running around doing all this. Aren't you going to knit one for him too?"

Nian Yunci did not forget her son-in-law.

Qiao Nian snorted, "Then we'll give the ugly ones to Lu Xiaozhi first, and the nice ones to Master and Master's wife."

Nian Yunci smiled. Her daughter was a spoiled brat in front of her son-in-law.

Time flies, and before we know it, it's Chinese New Year.

When Qiao Nian got up in the morning, she went next door to tell her master and mistress not to cook today.

During the Lunar New Year, we should all have a reunion dinner together.

Today was special, and Wang Xueqin didn't refuse Li Ruihua's offer, even though Li Ruihua was usually very polite.

Qiao Nian studied next door all morning and then returned home.

Lu Xiao went to the village and brought back a chicken. Qiao Guowen boiled water and the two of them killed the three or four-pound chicken together.

"Niannian, how would you like the chicken today?"

When Qiao Guowen saw his daughter, he asked her what was wrong.

"Let's make some soup, Dad. Chicken soup, braised beef brisket with radish, and stir-fried cured pork, okay?"

"We'll stir-fry some of the cured pork and sausages that Mom sent us before."

After Qiao Nian finished speaking, Lu Xiao added, "There are fish in the village. I just told them that I reserved one, and I'll go pick it up in a bit."

Today is the Lunar New Year, their first reunion after five years apart, so it must be celebrated in a grand manner.
