A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qiao Lanshu thanked Huang Erling and took the fried dough sticks and goat milk back.

The goat milk was bought from a street vendor next to the supply and marketing cooperative. That area was specifically for these vendors to sell breakfast and agricultural products; some items didn't require ration coupons, and the prices weren't expensive.

However, goat milk is cold and must be boiled before drinking; otherwise, drinking raw goat milk can easily make you sick.

Qiao Lanshu poured the goat milk into an aluminum pot, then heated it. After washing up, he came back to eat breakfast.

The fried dough sticks were getting cold, and the goat milk had a strong smell. Qiao Lanshu took out the honey that Qin Yuanzheng had bought for her, added a spoonful of honey to the goat milk, and then added a pinch of tea leaves.

Hot goat milk brews fresh tea leaves, which, combined with the sweetness of honey, makes the tea taste much better.

Qiao Lanshu drank a cup of goat milk, finished eating the fried dough sticks, then put on her clothes, hat, and scarf, and went out to work.

Qin Yuanzheng didn't come back all night, and Qiao Lanshu started to miss him.

Previously, Qin Yuanzheng was always clinging to her, and he would hug her as soon as they got on the kang (a heated brick bed), which she had gotten used to.

When Qiao Lanshu went out and arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she saw the car that Qin Yuanzheng often drove parked there.

A thought struck her, and she quickly went over and looked into the car.

Then, she was immediately disappointed.

Because the person sitting in the car was Company Commander Xiao Yang, not Qin Yuanzheng.

Xiao Yang had just driven over when he saw Qiao Lanshu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, our commander is too busy, so he asked me to pick you up for work."

Qiao Lanshu opened the car door and sat in the back, unable to resist asking Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, what's your regimental commander busy with? Has he suddenly had some special mission? He didn't come back last night."

They had a meal and left, and it's been a whole night now.

Xiao Yang started the car and explained to Qiao Lanshu, "Sister-in-law, we were supposed to end the meeting at 3 a.m., but there was an accident at one of our coal mines. The explosives were planted in the wrong place and it almost collapsed. The regimental commander led people to the rescue in the middle of the night. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

Coal mines are prone to accidents, so you have to be careful in everything you do.

As the head of the management team overseeing the mining area, Qin Yuanzheng bears primary responsibility for these matters.

Qiao Lanshu also knew the seriousness of these matters, and she said in a low voice, "So that's how it is."

Xiao Yang added, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the regimental commander will definitely be back tonight, and the matter should be resolved."

Qiao Lanshu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, these are matters of the military, and she usually doesn't dare to ask too many questions.

After arriving at the food factory, Xiao Yang drove back to the mining area.

Qiao Lanshu stood there, watching Xiao Yang leave, before preparing to return to the food factory.

At this moment, Liu Weihong, the supervisor of the pastry workshop, also got out of a car, but this car was not a military vehicle.

Qiao Lanshu glanced at it but couldn't tell which organization it belonged to.

Liu Weihong was still wearing her beautiful cashmere coat, a brand-new plaid scarf, and her newly bought leather boots.

When she saw Qiao Lanshu, she deliberately gloated, "Oh dear, I heard there was an accident at the mine yesterday? It seems a coal mine collapsed?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu paused, looked at her, and asked, "Really? I didn't know that. Who told you?"

Liu Weihong walked past Qiao Lanshu with her hands in her pockets, talking as she went;

"You didn't know? Didn't your commander tell you? Oh, right, I almost forgot, he probably didn't go home yesterday, right? Well, it doesn't matter who I heard it from, the important thing is that I heard the situation was urgent, and your commander was injured by a rock when he went down into the mine to rescue people, and he's still in the hospital."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu stopped in her tracks, standing still and staring at Liu Weihong.

She didn't know what her expression was, but she felt very cold, as if all the blood in her body had been frozen instantly, and the cold wind was blowing fiercely into her heart.

Although she knew that Liu Weihong had always disliked her.

Perhaps he said those things on purpose to provoke her, to make her suffer, and to see her make a fool of herself.

However, it must be said that this trick is very effective.

Because Qin Yuanzheng is the person she cares about most.

In his previous life, Qin Yuanzheng was injured by explosives while on a mission, and his life was hanging by a thread. He almost didn't make it back.

It was because of that incident that Qin Yuanzheng suffered serious aftereffects.

He died five years after marrying her because of a recurrence of his wound.

At that time, Qin Yuanzheng was only in his forties.

Qiao Lanshu looked at Liu Weihong and said, "You're lying to me. I won't believe a single word you say."

Although she said that, she already believed it in her heart.

Qin Yuanzheng asked Huang Erling to buy him breakfast and also asked Xiao Yang to take him to work.

He was probably really injured and couldn't come back. He was worried that she would find out, so he made all the arrangements in advance.

When the truth can no longer be hidden, he will probably be discharged from the hospital early and come back to find her.

He has always been this kind of person, spoiling her like a child and never telling her anything, for fear that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weihong laughed and said, "Why would I lie to you about something like this? Whether it's true or not, you can just go to the military hospital to get it checked out. Oh dear, what a pity. Do you think you're a jinx to your husbands? Commander Qin has always been fine, and he's carried out so many difficult missions. How come this has to happen right after he married you?"

Qiao Lanshu stared at Liu Weihong for a while, then said coldly, "Liu Weihong, why do you dislike me so much? You're always comparing yourself to me, constantly referring to Commander Qin. Is it because you like Commander Qin and are jealous that I can marry him and receive his affection?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Weihong's expression immediately changed. She said with a ferocious look, "You're talking nonsense! Who would want a man who can't have children? Stop trying to flatter him, it's disgusting."

Qiao Lanshu said coldly, "Really? I thought you were acting this way because you couldn't have Commander Qin. Turns out, that's not it? I misunderstood you?"

Liu Weihong: "..."

Liu Weihong's face turned red with anger at Qiao Lanshu.

In fact, Qiao Lanshu had hit the nail on the head regarding Liu Weihong's feelings.

She was indeed resentful that Qin Yuanzheng hadn't taken a liking to her.

In her eyes, Qiao Lanshu was nothing special; he was short, thin, young, and from out of town.

As for myself, I come from a well-off family, I'm a workshop supervisor, I'm tall and good-looking, how am I inferior to Qiao Lanshu?

Is Qin Yuanzheng's preference really that strange, that he likes short people?

Qiao Lanshu was no longer in the mood to argue with Liu Weihong. She immediately turned around, went to the food factory office, asked the head of the logistics department for leave, and then left the food factory to go to the military hospital for a check-up.

The military hospital isn't very close to the food factory; you have to take a bus to get there.

At this moment, Qiao Lanshu was calmer than ever before. She neither panicked nor cried.

She felt guilty and regretful, regretting that she hadn't warned Qin Yuanzheng beforehand that he might be injured by explosives during a future mission and told him to be careful.

If Qin Yuanzheng is really injured in the explosion again, she will not despise him no matter how bad his injuries are.

She wanted to take care of him personally, and he had better not die so quickly, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to go on living either.

The more Qiao Lanshu thought about it, the faster she walked. When she arrived at the bus stop, she could feel her hands trembling as she waited for the bus.
