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

Chapter 62 Believe it or not, I'll slap you across the face?

"Oh my god, that's ridiculous. What are you comparing yourself to a crazy old woman and a useless person in a wheelchair? All they have is this stinking money."

They'll have a hard time later.

Zhang Xiao muttered viciously under her breath, cursing Xia Zhi, that bitch, for deliberately cheating her out of a hundred yuan.

Thinking of this made her feel a pang of heartache.

“Yeah, Liping, why are you arguing with them? Xia Zhi will have to take care of that cripple Lu Beiting from now on, so it’s only right that she gets some good things.”

Gu Yunshen also joined in the persuasion.

Upon hearing this, Hao Liping immediately thought of her previous life when she married Lu Beiting. Although it wasn't as good as Xia Zhi's life now, it was still quite nice.

At that time, she thought she had married the right person, but who knew that so many troubles awaited her later.

Thinking of this, she felt much better instantly.

"Okay, then I'll buy this one."

After Xia Zhi made her selections and paid, Lu Beiting left some gifts and then took Xia Zhi to the next place.

"Battalion Commander, I've double-checked the vegetables and meat. My uncles and aunts are all excited about your wedding and are clamoring to come."

After Zhang Yi met him, he reported the situation.

"Okay, then we can arrange a few more tables."

Xu Rufeng had just walked out of the supplier's shop carrying several large bags of sugar and melon seeds.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi quickly went to lend a hand.

Xu Rufeng looked at the two people in the distance and grinned broadly, "Battalion Commander, Sister-in-law, melon seeds, candy, enough for everyone."

Hao Liping and the others behind her looked at the situation and their faces darkened again.

"Buying so much, you spendthrift!" Zhang Xiao gritted her teeth and glared fiercely, knowing that there must be a hundred yuan of hers in there.

Gu Yunshen chimed in, "It's a good thing I didn't marry Xia Zhi, otherwise she would have squandered our entire fortune."

Hao Liping listened to Gu Yunshen's words and then looked at the group of people not far away carrying large and small bags. They hadn't bought anything today.

"Brother Yun Shen, let's hurry up, it'll be getting late soon."

Upon hearing this, the two remembered their real business. Half a day had passed, and their attention had been entirely on Xia Zhi.

"Hey, quick, Liping, go tell Battalion Commander Lu and the others to wait for us."

Zhang Xiao instructed Hao Liping, otherwise it would be dark by the time they finished dawdling, and there were still a lot of things to do.

Hao Liping looked in the direction of Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting, somewhat reluctant to go.

"Oh dear, hurry up and go, or we'll have to walk back."

Upon hearing this, Hao Liping immediately got to work; she knew she would be exhausted if she walked back.

Lu Beiting was looking at the list. There was basically nothing left; the vegetables and meat would be delivered to his door.

There was no shortage of people to help with the happy occasion; after learning that he was getting married, they all rushed to come and help.

He looked up at Xia Zhi, who was staring blankly at a tree in the distance.

"Honey, is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

"Ah? No, nothing. Let's go back then." Xia Zhi looked away from the tree; she had a feeling that something was moving up there.

She didn't do anything today; it was Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng who were running around outside.

"Zhang Yi, Squad Leader Xu, you've worked hard today. I'll treat you to something nice when we get back."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.

Every night when they returned to their dormitory, they were overwhelmed by the aroma of their sister-in-law's and battalion commander's cooking.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law." Xu Rufeng nodded in agreement; he was also craving it.

"Okay, luckily we still have some meat at home." "Hey, Xia Zhi, Lu Beiting, are you going back already? Can't you wait for us?"

Hao Liping was shocked when she heard them saying they were going back as soon as she approached.

How did they get it done so quickly?
Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting only stayed in the clothing store for a short while, didn't they?

Lu Beiting felt annoyed as soon as he heard Hao Liping's voice, "Why should I wait for you?"

"But we came with you!" Hao Liping panicked. If they walked back, it would take almost four hours.

Seeing that Lu Beiting's expression wasn't good, Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Comrade Hao, this car was originally requested by our battalion commander, and the back seat is already full of stuff, so there's no room for anyone else."

Seeing that Hao Liping hadn't returned for a long time, Zhang Xiao became worried and came over. Upon hearing what Zhang Yi said, she froze.

"How can you soldiers do this? You send people here and then don't send them back. Is this acceptable?"

Zhang Yi could barely maintain his composure.

Xia Zhi pulled Zhang Yi back; they were soldiers, and there were rules for them, but she didn't.

"Did you two just insist on getting on the bus? Besides, don't you know why we came to town?"

Of course you'll put the things you bought in the car. If you don't put them in the car, are you going to carry them on your back?
Besides, it's your problem that you didn't contact the car earlier on such an important day.

Don't try to morally blackmail me, or I'll slap you across the face!

As Xia Zhi spoke, she raised her hand and gestured twice, saying, "A bunch of shameless people, do they really think that soldiers have to serve them unconditionally?"

They're shamelessly using moral blackmail against a group of young people every day.

Zhang Xiao shrank back in fright.

"Auntie, Uncle Liu's oxcart has arrived. Why don't you ask him?" Xu Rufeng said, acting on his conscience.

After saying that, he put the last bag on the car and got in.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao was too busy to scold anyone, so he hurriedly went to the road to stop Uncle Liu's oxcart.

Hao Liping glanced at Xia Zhi unwillingly, then ran over as well.

Xia Zhi raised her chin, snorted, and shifted her gaze from the tree she had just seen.

"Is there something in the tree?" Lu Beiting noticed that she had been paying attention for a while.

"I don't know, I'll go take a look." Xia Zhi said, jogging towards that direction.

Standing under the tree and looking up, I exclaimed in surprise, "In this day and age, can chicks climb trees?"

There were two tiny creatures, about the size of chicks, on the branch. She looked around, but there was nothing there.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Zhang Yi jogged over.

Xia Zhi pointed to the chicks in the tree, "Zhang Yi, why don't you climb up and catch them?"

Zhang Yi looked up and was also surprised, "A chicken? A chicken that climbed a tree?"

This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it in his life.

Then, in a few quick movements, he climbed up and grabbed the chick.

Xia Zhi glanced at it; there was blood on one wing, and it was badly injured and on the verge of death. One leg was injured, but it was surrounded by tiny fine-striped insects, so its condition wasn't good either.

"Take it back first." Xia Zhi took it from him and led him back to the car.

You could hear Zhang Xiao and Uncle Liu's voices from a great distance.

"Oh dear, Zhang, it's too late. It's hard to travel in the dark. I really can't. I have something waiting for me at home."

After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he drove the oxcart away, ignoring Zhang Xiao calling after him.

Looking at Uncle Liu's magnanimous figure, Xia Zhi silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.
