A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

"Brother Qiyue, Brother Qiyue, dinner's ready." Jiang Linwan's voice came from the living room.

Lu Qiyue suddenly woke up with a start.

"Brother Qiyue, dinner's ready," Jiang Linwan called out, poking her head out.

Lu Qiyue looked at her, recalling the tender scenes from his dream... all the images instantly intertwined and overlapped, flooding his mind wildly.

The usually calm and collected warrior, who remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, suddenly had his ears turn completely red.

Even the skin behind her ears and on her neck was subtly tinged with a thin layer of red.

"You go out first, I'll put on some clothes." Lu Qiyue suppressed his panic, watched the little girl leave, quickly changed out of his already worn-out underwear, his face full of shame, not knowing how to face the little girl.

He had lived for over twenty years, served in the military for many years, was strict with himself, and lived a simple and frugal life. He had never been so disheveled and out of control.

Indeed, women can lead people astray.

Lu Qiyue coughed and left the house to cover up his embarrassment. He washed up and sat down.

Jiang Linwan quickly pushed the food towards him.

In the morning, I had braised mutton, stewed beef with goji berries, and black sesame millet porridge—all of which are considered warming and invigorating for male virility.

For lunch, we had stir-fried eggs with chives, oysters with garlic, and stewed turtle with longan, along with other special medicinal herbs.

For two or three days in a row, Lu Qiyue felt that he was probably sick. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the little girl clinging to him and making merry every night. He had to get up early every day before dawn to wash the sheets.

He couldn't control his body, especially when he saw that girl in broad daylight.

Lu Qiyue stayed up until the end of his honeymoon, then got up early and returned to his unit. He felt he had to stay away from the little girl now.

Jiang Linwan had no choice but to stop her nourishing meals. She ate breakfast alone in the morning and was about to go back to her room to check on her space when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Linwan opened the door and saw the older sister from that day in the cabin. She was somewhat surprised: "Big sister, you also live in this compound?"

Liu Guiying smiled and said, "Not only do I live in this compound, but I also live very close to you. My house is the second one from the left."

She had actually wanted to come and see Jiang Linwan for a long time, but Commander Lu's honeymoon was not over yet, and her husband wouldn't let her come and disturb the young couple's love.

She waited until Commander Lu returned to the unit, then she couldn't wait to come over.

Jiang Linwan was genuinely surprised that the two lived so close, but she quickly became happy. It was good that they lived close by; she didn't have any friends in the family compound, and this older woman seemed like a very nice person.

"Are you free this afternoon? If not, let's go beachcombing."

Liu Guiying is a restless person. In just two days since she arrived, she has already explored all the places around where to buy fresh vegetables, where the seafood stalls are cheap and fresh, and where it is a good place to go beachcombing.

But no one was with her, and she felt bored.

"Where to?" Jiang Linwan was also quite interested in beachcombing.

"It's just two miles behind Xiahe Village. There are so many people there around 2 PM. I went there the day before yesterday and picked up a lot of crabs and clams," Liu Guiying said excitedly, gesturing wildly.

Jiang Linwan had nothing else to do, so she agreed.

Liu Guiying was overjoyed to see her agree: "Then I'll come find you this afternoon."

Watching the person leave, Jiang Linwan closed the door and went back into the house, then slipped into her spatial dimension.

After buying and planting various seeds last time, less than half a month has passed, and the bok choy and some leafy greens are already ready to eat.

The cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers all bore small fruits, and some of the medicinal herb seeds she had planted earlier had even sprouted. She had prepared for these medicinal herb seeds to die, but to her surprise, nine out of ten of them survived.

After looking at the things planted in the space, Jiang Linwan returned to the wooden house and took out her medical books to seriously study those acupuncture books.

She sat there for the whole morning, and when she checked the time, it was already noon. Remembering that she had promised Liu Guiying that they would go beachcombing in the afternoon, she quickly left the space.

Without Lu Qiyue around at noon, Jiang Linwan ate a simple meal: stir-fried pork with bok choy and stir-fried shrimp with scallions.

Before lunchtime, Liu Guiying arrived with her daughter, carrying a tin bucket, a small rake, and a shovel.

Both of them were still wearing rubber rain boots. When Liu Guiying saw Jiang Linwan wearing leather shoes, she immediately laughed: "Don't you have rain boots?"

Jiang Linwan really didn't have it.

Liu Guiying smiled and said, "Go, I'll take you to the service store to buy a pair. Your leather shoes are prone to getting wet, and if you get cut on your leg by the rocks again, it won't be a small matter."

Jiang Linwan nodded awkwardly, and Liu Guiying handed her an apron to prevent the seawater from getting her clothes wet.

The two carried the tin buckets and walked towards the service center, where they ran into Song Manru, who had just finished lunch and was on her way to work.

Several colleagues followed behind her. As soon as they saw Jiang Linwan, the women huddled together and whispered, "Look, that's Lu Tuan's wife, she's really beautiful."

No wonder our Lu Tuan, who has always been averse to women, was willing to get married.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Sister Manru hear you. She went on a blind date with Lu Tuan before..." The nurse avoided talking about the rest.

Back then, Song Manru only went on a blind date with Lu Qiyue, but she acted as if she was determined to marry Commander Lu. She was incredibly arrogant during that time. Now, Commander Lu is getting married, but the bride isn't her.

Song Manru looked at Jiang Linwan with resentment. She believed that she was good-looking and had a respectable job, which was more than enough for Lu Qiyue. Her aunt had also said that Lu Qiyue would marry her.

She was all ready to marry Lu Qiyue, but when he went back home, he brought a young wife with him. During this time, her colleagues at the hospital laughed at her behind her back.

Looking at Jiang Linwan, dressed in rough clothes and carrying an iron pipe, a strong sense of superiority welled up from the bottom of her heart. She wore a gentle and polite smile, but her words were sharp: "Jiang sister, Commander Lu's monthly salary is at least a hundred yuan."

"He's not lacking in food or drink. He's riddled with old injuries and in poor health; he needs constant care. Instead of staying home to look after him, you're out there competing with a bunch of sea people for jobs. You're really disgracing the mainland's reputation."

Life is hard for the people living at sea. They rely entirely on fishing to survive, and many families can't even fill their stomachs. For a military officer's wife to compete with ordinary people for food is a disgrace to all the women in the family compound.

As soon as she said this, several women who had just finished shopping looked at Jiang Linwan with disdain in their eyes: "She's the wife of the Lu Regiment, a proper military wife, yet she insists on competing with fisherwomen on the beach for these seafood. It's so undignified."

Jiang Linwan stopped in her tracks, showing no embarrassment, and raised her head, her voice loud and steady: "The dignity of a military wife is to stay at home and serve her husband."

I earn my food by digging for clams with my own hands, working honestly and without stealing or robbing. What's shameful about that?

"Seafood on the beach belongs to everyone, so how can you say that you are competing with fishermen for it?"

My husband's allowance is earned through his hard work in training. I feel honored that I can contribute to the family income without relying on him.

The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky and that all labor is equal, yet you tell us to hide behind men; you are questioning the Chairman's words.

"As for stealing jobs, this lady probably has never been to the sea."

The tide rises so quickly, everyone tries to pick up as much as they can, but what I managed to collect was washed away by the sea.
