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

Chapter 54 Hao Liping, your Aunt Wang wants you to be her daughter-in-law
Xia Zhi nodded with satisfaction. A man who is alive and well is good.

After Xia Zhi finished, she sat down to sunbathe. Lu Beiting took some firewood from the side and brought it inside. The firewood was what they had picked up while patrolling the mountain.

This way, Xia Zhi won't have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

When Li Jianguo arrived with his entourage, he saw the young couple looking so content and nodded in satisfaction.

"Beiting, Xiaoxia."

Hearing the voice, Xia Zhi turned around and saw Li Jianguo arriving with his men. She quickly stood up to greet him, "Chief."

Lu Beiting also shouted.

"Haha, it's like this, you two are getting married soon, right? So I came to ask Xia if you have any other needs in this regard?"

Xia Zhi was surprised that they had come all this way just for this, so she quickly welcomed them into the house, and Lu Beiting poured them a glass of water.

Then he looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Xia Zhi felt a little awkward under the gaze, and said with a smile, "Chief, I have no requirements, just do what you think is best."

"Haha, good child, don't worry, you'll definitely not be wronged marrying Bei Ting. I'll make the decision myself. How about this: the bride price is three turns and a ring, and I'll also have someone make a cabinet for you..."

Xia Zhi was confused; she didn't quite understand, but she would accept it if given to her.

As Li Jianguo spoke, she obediently nodded beside him, making no demands whatsoever, which made the others smile.

"Xia, are you staying at the military base or in the compound? If you're staying there, there are spare rooms available."

The military unit is full of rough men, and the dormitories are not big. They are also noisy due to the constant training. The family compound outside is quieter, bigger, and more comfortable.

Xia Zhi was also conflicted when she heard this. All the family members lived outside, and even Sister Chen lived in the family compound.

"Either is fine, then let's stay in the family compound."

"Okay, I'll have someone go down and make arrangements for you. We'll reserve a dormitory room for you, but only one room."

Xia Zhi nodded. Living in the family compound meant she could come and go as she pleased, so she could see the stove she had just built and her vegetable garden...

Xia Zhi felt a pang of heartache; it had been so difficult to get it done.

"Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us?" Lu Weifeng stormed in angrily with Wang Xiulan.

Wang Xiulan also glared angrily at Lu Beiting, thinking that he would give up after listening to what they said.

Who knew that she wouldn't even inform them of such a big event as getting married, and she even had to buy a three-turn-one-ring (a type of cigarette, a watch, and a radio). Does she deserve it?

“I told the commander not to tell you,” Lu Beiting said coldly.

Since they don't like Xia Zhi, they shouldn't come at all, so as to avoid making things unpleasant for both sides.

Wang Xiulan was both angry and helpless looking at him like this. Why was he so stubborn? What was so good about this woman?

She looked at Xia Zhi, then pointed at her and said, "Tell me, did you tell my son not to say that?"

Lu Beiting frowned and pulled Xia Zhi behind him. "It has nothing to do with her. I just think you don't need to know."

"Hey, Xiulan, what's wrong with Xia? She's still a great hero in our army."

Li Jianguo also spoke from the side.

Wang Xiulan recalled the announcement that had been playing all morning yesterday and immediately snorted, "It's just a bit of luck, so what?"

Li Jianguo immediately laughed. Good luck? How could she say that?

"Hey Xiulan, why don't you go up the mountain and try your luck, see if it's just as good? I'll have someone announce your story on the loudspeaker all day, how about that?" What a blatant lie!
Wang Xiulan snorted coldly and said nothing more. Then she looked at Lu Beiting and said, "In short, I disagree."

"Whether you agree or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me." Lu Beiting said, taking Xia Zhi's hand and patting the back of her hand reassuringly.

"You!" Wang Xiulan was so angry she almost choked. How could he be so stubborn? What could Xia Zhi, who had no parents, possibly do to help him?

Lu Weifeng stood to the side with a sullen face, watching his son who was unyielding to reason.

"Fine, marry her if you want, but I won't let her into the Lu family!"

Of all people, it had to be Xia Yongtao's daughter.

Lu Beiting held Xia Zhi's hand. "If there's nothing else, please go back."

Lu Weifeng stared at him for a while, then finally stormed off in anger, knowing he would regret marrying this woman.

Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan ran into Hao Liping, who was preparing to go back, as soon as they came out.

When Hao Liping saw Lu Weifeng, she immediately smiled and called out, "Uncle Lu!"

He paused for a moment when he saw Wang Xiulan beside him, then called out, "Aunt Wang."

"Oh, my dear child, how have you been lately?" As soon as Wang Xiulan saw Hao Liping, she walked up to her warmly and asked her about her well-being.

Looking at Wang Xiulan's kind face, Hao Liping sneered inwardly. In her previous life, she thought Wang Xiulan would be a good mother-in-law, so she resolutely married into the family.

Who knew that less than a year after she married into the family, she started finding fault with everything, saying this was no good and that was no good. On the surface, she was a good mother-in-law, but behind her back, she went around saying that she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, causing her to be pointed at and gossiped about wherever she went.

"I'm doing very well." Hao Liping subtly dodged her hand, then put her arm around Gu Yunshen and introduced him to the two of them: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Wang, this is my boyfriend, Gu Yunshen."

Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan's expressions froze, and then their gazes fell on Gu Yunshen.

Gu Yun Shen noticed their gazes and greeted them politely.

Xia Zhi, watching the couple who bumped into Hao Liping outside from inside the dormitory, sneered inwardly and walked straight over.

"Oh, Liping, what a coincidence! You have no idea how much your Aunt Wang likes you. She insists on having you as her daughter-in-law."

Wang Xiulan's face turned ashen. She had never said she wanted Hao Liping as her daughter-in-law. She didn't want a daughter-in-law who was so promiscuous.

Lu Weifeng's expression was also not good. After all, it would be a lie to say that he didn't mind that Hao Liping had cheated on his son before their marriage.

Originally, she was just going to greet them out of consideration for the relationship between the two families, but unexpectedly, she pulled the man aside and introduced him to them.

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, Hao Liping couldn't help but feel a little smug, presumably because Xia Zhi hadn't gotten the better of Wang Xiulan.

She held Gu Yunshen's hand tightly and looked at Wang Xiulan, ignoring her expression.

"Aunt Wang, thank you for your kindness, but you also know that feelings can't be forced. Yun Shen and I are mutually in love, and I'm only happy when I'm with him. He can give me what I want."

Besides, there's nothing wrong with my sister; she can treat Battalion Commander Lu's illness.

She knew in her heart that even if Lu Beiting's leg was healed, his function would still be impaired, and Xia Zhi would live like her, a widow for the rest of her life, never experiencing the joys of life until her death.

Thinking of this, her smile widened.

Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan were also surprised that Hao Liping, who was usually so well-behaved, seemed like a completely different person today.

After a while, the two realized what she meant; Hao Liping was looking down on Beiting.
