The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 42 The Six Hundred Yuan Was Not Unjustified

Looking at Lu Beiting, Zhang Xiao felt that his aura was more like that of someone who came to kill than to take care of people.

Zhang Xiao and Liu Guifang were so frightened that they felt their hearts sink and even spoke in a softer voice.

"Battalion Commander, you're too kind," Zhang Xiao said with a bitter smile.

Xia Zhi looked at the group of people who were stunned with fear, and felt very pleased. Sure enough, the wicked will be punished by the wicked.

From then on, Zhang Xiao changed Gu Chonglin's excrement and urine.

Every time Lu Beiting reached out, Zhang Xiao would jump up from her seat and take the work from his hands.

Xia Zhi felt incredibly relaxed throughout the day, watching the show and feeling completely at ease.

On the way home that evening, Xia Zhi pushed Lu Beiting in a wheelchair and said, "Thank you for today."

Otherwise, who knows what other troublesome methods these people will come up with.

Lu Beiting frowned. What kind of husband and wife say thank you to each other?

After the two returned, Lu Beiting was about to follow Xia Zhi into the house when she stopped him.

Xia Zhi blocked the doorway, looking at him righteously, "Lu Beiting, we're not married yet, this isn't right."

Lu Beiting pursed his thin lips, but in the end he obediently returned to his room.

In the following days, the Gu family was very sensible and didn't dare to cause any trouble. Xia Zhi, seeing that Lu Beiting was there, stopped going altogether in the end.

In the morning, I helped Sister Chen cook; at noon, I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to help out; and in the afternoon, I went up the mountain.

Xia Zhi sat in a haystack on the mountain, surrounded by a circle of chattering little animals.

Monkeys, rabbits, and birds are all common animals.

She set up her medical kit and a mini stethoscope, looked at the group of little ones, and called out to them.

"Don't push, one at a time."

Behind Xia Zhi is the giant panda that has recovered; she can lean against it and rest if she gets tired.

The obedient little monkeys on the side were tugging at the disobedient ones, and sometimes they would just punch them twice.

Some of the restless ones also quieted down and obediently waited to be called upon.

These were just some abrasions, bites, and fractures. After treating them for a few days, Xia Zhi gradually became more skilled and her movements became more nimble.

Xia Zhi didn't close her stall until sunset.

"It's getting late, I have to go back now, and thank you all for your gifts."

Xia Zhi looked at the pile of wild fruits beside her and the animals that survived the natural selection, and went back together.

On the way down the mountain, Xia Zhi calculated her achievements over the past few days, which amounted to exactly two thousand points.

It would be enough to exchange these for some Western medicine to treat Sister Chen's condition.

As Xia Zhi was walking down the mountain and passing by the family compound, she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from inside. Curious, she went over to listen.

"Brother Yun Shen, I told you I could do it, why don't you believe me?"

In the courtyard, Hao Liping held Gu Yunshen's hand, her tone very uneasy.

She had heard Zhang Xiao say these past few days that Lu Beiting, that cripple, and Xia Zhi, that little bitch, had gotten back together.

This immediately made her feel a sense of crisis. During this period, she had figured out some tricks of selling vegetables and was able to sell them.

The money she made from selling the items was less than the money she made from booking hotel rooms, which troubled her greatly. She wondered how Xia Zhi had managed to save so much money in her previous life.

After returning home and thinking it over carefully, she realized she had forgotten the most important thing: Xia Zhi not only sold vegetables, but also raised pigs. Each pig sold for several hundred yuan, which was much more profitable than selling vegetables.

But the money from selling piglets wasn't cheap, and if she asked her family for it, Hao Dashan definitely wouldn't give it to her.

Didn't Xia Zhi return the previous six hundred yuan during this period? She's already thinking about it.

"But Liping is doing quite well selling vegetables, isn't she? We have to take it one step at a time. We can't get rich overnight. What if we lose money later..."

Gu Yun Shen was extremely unhappy. He had been busy from morning till night because she said she wanted to sell vegetables.

She would say she was tired after doing just a little bit, so in the end all the work fell on his shoulders.

She's only just learned a little bit, and now she's already thinking about raising pigs, which is both troublesome and expensive.

Because of her, he hasn't been able to study for a long time. He heard that the college entrance examination will be reinstated next year, and he doesn't want all his hard work over the years to be wasted.

Seeing that Hao Liping remained silent, Gu Yunshen tried to coax her again, "Liping, we're getting married in a few days, and we'll need money then. Let's just forget about it."

Gu Yun Shen didn't know what he had said to offend her, but she had forcefully shaken his hand away.

Hao Liping angrily shook off his hand. In her previous life, Xia Zhi ran a vegetable business and raised livestock, and by the time she married Gu Yunshen, she already had some money.

She remembered it clearly: she and Xia Zhi got married on the same day, but Xia Zhi got married in a grand ceremony, and her dowry was much more extravagant.

Her banquet was better than theirs, and everyone in the compound went to hers.

"Hmph! I'm just thinking about making more money so that our wedding can be more impressive."

Besides, didn't Xia Zhi return the six hundred yuan?
Those piglets are only in their early twenties; once they're grown up, they can be sold for two or three hundred yuan—it's a great deal…”

Hao Liping explained it to him in detail.

Gu Yunshen frowned. The idea sounded good, but even livestock can get sick.

After listening to a few words outside, Xia Zhi understood the whole story. As for why Hao Liping was so angry, she could guess a thing or two.

It was nothing more than jealousy, but she didn't know that the Gu family valued their reputation. After learning that the original owner had made money, she started to deceive the original owner.

They made the original owner take out the money he had worked so hard to earn to hold a banquet and buy things, asking for a little bit each time.

In short, it was entirely the original owner who took the initiative to choose herself, and the only contribution the Gu family made was their words.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, "Don't get angry, don't get angry. It's not worth ruining your health."

Listening to Gu Yun Shen gradually giving in, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. The original owner did make money raising pigs, but it was only on the second attempt that she succeeded.

The first one I bought was a pig that I scrimped and saved up to buy, but it died of swine fever.

The African swine fever outbreak is such a big deal, how could Hao Liping have forgotten even this small matter?

However, it's understandable that people wouldn't know this at the time, as Hao Liping was about to become the battalion commander's wife and was showing off her power in the army.

"Okay, then let's give it a try. But there are always risks at the beginning, so let's just buy one."

Gu Yun Shen finally relented. Over the years, he had been engrossed in his studies, and while he appeared successful on the surface, there had been a lot of gossip about him behind his back.

If we actually make money, it will shut up all those gossips.

"Mmm, I knew Brother Yun Shen was the best to me." Hao Liping smiled and hugged his arm, but that wasn't what she really thought.

Buying just one is no fun at all. If you're going to buy one, buy several and raise them together.

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up. It wasn't a bad deal for her to pay back the 600 yuan; it was a small investment with a big return.

Money can amplify desires, but when one's abilities are not commensurate with one's desires, the consequences are dire.
