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

Chapter 59 Prodigal Men

Song Ming turned around and looked.

His wife, Chen Chunya, was watching him with a forced smile.

Song and Ming Dynasties...

This is bad, there's danger.

Song Ming chuckled, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation, when his precious son peeked out from behind Chen Chunya.

"Dad, do you like Uncle Lu?"

Song Junbao had round, bright eyes. He wore a tiger-head hat and a cotton-padded jacket. He was chubby and round, like a lucky baby in a New Year's painting.

Before Song Ming could explain, Song Junbao said, "You don't need to explain, Mom and I both heard it."

"You said you like Uncle Lu."

Song and Ming Dynasties...

"No, Xiao Bao..."

"Humph!"

Chen Chunya interrupted Song Ming's explanation with a cold snort, "Don't explain."

Song and Ming Dynasties...

He was truly wronged.

He said that if he were a lesbian, he would also like Lao Lu.

But isn't he gay?

Therefore, the claim that he likes Lao Lu is simply unfounded!

Chen Chunya ignored Song Ming's explanation. She glared at Song Ming and looked up at Lu Xiao beside her.

"Xiao Lu, don't go to the cafeteria for lunch. Let's eat at home. Your sister-in-law will cook."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have to go out in a bit, so I won't be eating."

Lu Xiao's attitude towards Chen Chunya was much better than his attitude towards Song Ming.

Song Ming asked in confusion, "What else is he going to do?"
"Go to the lumber mill and bring back some timber. The furniture we ordered should be almost ready by now."

"You ordered furniture? Don't you want the furniture that was sent from upstairs?"

Song Ming was a civilized scholar, but after hearing Lu Xiao's words, he couldn't help but think that Lu Xiao was a spendthrift.

Not only did he mess up the house like this, but why did he order new furniture when the authorities would have provided it?
Song Ming thought about it, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Chen Chunya, standing to the side, was too embarrassed to speak up.

However, she was still somewhat envious of Qiao Nian, whom she had never met.

She must be very happy to have such a generous husband.

Seeing the fleeting envy in his wife's eyes, Song Ming stepped forward and said, "Honey, didn't you say the cabinets you sent weren't very good? Let's go take a look today and order one."

Chen Chunya looked at Song Ming with surprise in her eyes.

Song Ming smiled and quietly took her hand.

“I don’t have Lao Lu’s talent for interior design, but with his example, I can slowly copy it.”

He will learn everything, from decorating to Lao Lu's attitude towards his wife.

Anyway, it'll be right next door, so it'll be easy to learn.

Chen Chunya understood what Song Ming meant, and couldn't help but laugh and give him a reproachful look, "Where would you get so much money to spend?"

"Don't we need to save some money for our children's education?"

"I won't be short of tuition fees for school, but I can't give my wife a discount on what she wants."

Song Ming knew that his wife's family of origin was not good. Even after they got married, she would have to send money back to her hometown every month, otherwise her parents would bring their children to the family compound to make a scene.

Such a family background leads the daughter-in-law to habitually conceal her own preferences.

My wife, who seems perfectly normal most of the time, often sheds tears silently in the dead of night.

He had tried to find ways to help his wife resolve her inner conflicts before.

There's just no good solution.

However, he now has a premonition that once his wife's younger siblings arrive, she'll have company, and perhaps her inner conflicts will gradually resolve themselves...

Now, let's start by fulfilling my wife's little wish.

Chen Chunya still felt it was a waste. He hadn't agreed to go to the furniture factory.

After returning to his neighbor's house, Song Ming told Grandma Song directly that he was going to buy furniture.

Grandma Song nodded.

"It's time to buy some new furniture. After all, this furniture has been used by others time and time again. Although it has been repaired, it still doesn't look good."

"Go buy a new wardrobe for clothes, and a chest of drawers for storage. Oh, and that broken dining table that's been patched up should be replaced too."

Grandma Song was very sensible.

Although she was the mother-in-law, she never had the idea of ​​keeping her son's salary under her control.

On the contrary, she would worry about Chen Chunya, feeling that she was being too cautious in her home life.

Song Ming nodded, "I understand, Mom. I'll see if there's a suitable cabinet for your room too."

"Then Mom will give you the money."

Grandma Song has a retirement pension, and the Song family's conditions are far better than the Chen family's.

Not only did Grandma Song refuse money from her children, she also used her own salary to subsidize them.

"Mom, no need, I don't need your money."

Chen Chunya quickly spoke up to stop her mother-in-law, who was about to go back into the house to get money, saying, "Xiao Bao's father and I both have salaries, we can buy it ourselves, there's no need for you to spend your money."

She also sends ten yuan back to her parents every month, and her mother-in-law and the others never say anything.

If a mother-in-law has to pay for a cabinet herself, then she might as well not be a daughter-in-law.

Grandma Song smiled and grasped Chen Chunya's hand, "Alright, then Mom will shamelessly let you spend the money."

Chen Chunya felt even more embarrassed by her mother-in-law's words.

Grandma Song also took the opportunity to tell her to go out and buy some fabric to make two nice clothes. "You're only twenty-five years old. Don't wear these drab clothes all the time. Buy two brightly colored clothes to wear."

"Make Song Ming pay."

Old Mrs. Song didn't care about her son at all.

Chen Chunya lowered her eyes, not wanting her mother-in-law to see the tears welling up in her eyes.

"it is good."

"I'll go to the department store later."

"Hey, that's right."

"Young people should dress nicely."

Having lived in the city her whole life, she is well-educated, reasonable, and sensible, and she can make her daughter-in-law feel comfortable when they get along.

In the family compound, Lu Xiao was never free, busy with this and that every day. Qiao Nian, who lived far away in the village, also didn't have much free time.

Except for the few days after Lu Xiao left when she was a little listless, she was busy the rest of the time.

Busy learning medical skills from his master, and also busy taking pulses and examining the pregnant women in the village.

A winter has passed.

Spring hadn't even arrived yet, but pregnant women in the village were springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Sometimes Qiao Nian even has to examine two or three people a day.

After the villagers learned about the female doctor Qiao Nian, they all came to her for help with their medical treatment.

The woman was already physically weak, and if she had any illnesses, she didn't have the money to go to the hospital, so she couldn't easily come to Li Ruihua for help.

After all, in their minds, men and women are different.

Unless it's a life-or-death situation, they wouldn't ask Li Ruihua for medical help.

Moreover, some symptoms are too embarrassing to discuss with a male doctor.

Things are different now. Now that they know there are female doctors, they can tell her about all their hidden ailments.

Seeing this, the captain simply had Qiao Nian open a women's medical office next to Li Ruihua's in the brigade headquarters.

He specializes in treating female patients.

Qiao Nian had just finished examining a pregnant woman in her forties when another older woman came in. She stood hesitantly at the door, looking inside, wanting to come in but too embarrassed to do so.

"Auntie, are you here to see a doctor? Or is there something else?"
