FSC [QT] Chapter 73.1

“Cao Ni’er? Cao Ni’er?”

“Second Daughter-in-law!”

Perhaps it was because Ah Wu took too long to absorb the memories that suddenly flooded into her mind, and she was too engrossed in it, so it was not until her mother-in-law called her several times that Ah Wu came back to her senses.

“We have just discussed it with Youdong. We will go to the Captain’s house to get a certificate this afternoon and go to the army with Youdong tomorrow morning.”

Third Grandma Xu thought that her Second Daughter-in-law was still sad, so she liked this kind and loyal woman more and more in her heart. 

She didn’t care about the fact that she had called her several times but got no response, and her tone of voice became softer.

Jin Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes. The Kuang family didn’t treat her like this in her previous life. 

Why was it that when it came to Ye Wu, even the treatment was different? 

Was this the difference between having a child and not having a child?

She touched her belly subconsciously. She didn’t know if it was because the couple had sex too few times, but since her rebirth, Jin Qiaoqiao had not been able to successfully conceive her husband Zhang Youdong’s child. 

The vampires at home still used the fact that she had no children to bully her, especially her mother-in-law, who called her a hen who didn’t lay eggs. 

She also often compared her with Ye Wu, who also married a soldier who was away from home all year round just like her but could give birth to a pair of twins.

In fact, the two old people in the Zhang family had no shortage of grandchildren. 

Zhang Youdong’s two elder brothers and one elder sister who got married earlier gave birth to three grandchildren, five granddaughters, and two grandsons-in-law. 

With so many children in the family, the family became noisy. Old Mrs. Zhang often knocked on the bowls, slammed the pots, and scolded because the children were naughty and ate too much. 

In this situation, the other party didn’t care about her having children at all. They just wanted to use this as an excuse to get more money from Zhang Youdong.

Jin Qiaoqiao was not in a hurry. In her previous life, she was pregnant, which meant that there was nothing wrong with her body. However, it was just that fate had not come yet. 

However, Zhang Youdong was snatched by her from ‘Ye Wu’. In her previous life, ‘Ye Wu’ gave this man a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. 

Jin Qiaoqiao always felt that ‘Ye Wu’ could live such a comfortable life in the second half of her life, unlike many women who were abandoned after their husbands became rich. A big reason for this was that she gave birth to enough children and used the children to bind Zhang Youdong’s heart. (T/N: Even if a woman has 10 or more children for her husband, if the husband’s heart is not to his wife anymore, then there’s nothing the wife can do. So, just don’t make some lame excuses!)

Therefore, when the news of Kuang Aijun’s sacrifice came and ‘Ye Wu’ became a widow, Jin Qiaoqiao began to panic.

In her previous life, in the fourth year after Kuang Aijun’s death, she married an educated youth who had gone to the countryside. She became pregnant in the third year of their marriage. (T/N: See? You also already had a child, but you are still abandoned!)

In other words, according to the original trajectory, she would have to wait another seven years before she could get pregnant.

Jin Qiaoqiao was not sure whether the time to conceive would change after she changed her husband, but she knew that if she really could not get pregnant after being married to the Zhang family for nearly ten years, the old woman in the Zhang family would never let her off easily. 

She might even consider adopting a child for Zhang Youdong so that she could firmly control Zhang Youdong, the son who could make money, and make him contribute to other brothers and sisters in the family for his whole life.

“Okay, but in the next few days, Zhuangwa and Baowa will have to ask the Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law to take care of them.”

Ah Wu wanted to take the two children with her, but according to ‘Ye Wu’’s memory, the transportation facilities of this era were very backward. 

It was said that it would take three days and two nights to take a train to Kuang Aijun’s troops, not including the time to take a long-distance bus to the provincial capital.

Zhuangwa and Baowa were less than three years old now, so they couldn’t stand such a long journey at all.

“We are a family. You are too polite, Second Sister-in-law.”

Kuang Aiguo, the Eldest Brother, had never had much presence in the family, but he was an honest and kind person. 

Not to mention just helping his Second Brother’s wife take care of the children for a few days, even if he was asked to help his Second Brother raise the two children, he would not say anything.

Kuang Aiguo knew clearly that the reason his family could live in a clean and bright big house now was actually thanks to his Second Brother’s sacrifice.

“Uncle, Aunt, Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences.”

Zhang Youdong saluted several people. 

This time, Kuang Aijun was not the only comrade who died. Among the soldiers who came from Baihua County alone, 17 people died. 

Zhang Youdong’s mission this time was to take the families of these martyrs to the army. The Kuang family was the first family he notified, and there were 16 more families to go to later.

“You have won third-class merit this time. Should you be promoted immediately?”

After leaving the Kuang’s house, Jin Qiaoqiao asked intimately while holding Zhang Youdong’s hand.

“Maybe.”

Zhang Youdong felt sad for his fallen comrades, but at the same time, he was happy about his upcoming promotion.

He was only a squad leader now. If he could be successfully promoted to platoon leader this time, he would officially become a cadre, although platoon leader was only the lowest administrative level cadre in the army.
