80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

"elder brother?"

Zhong Jie didn't want to answer the phone, but facing Zhou Sufen who was smiling at her, she didn't want others to see the discord between the siblings, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet, take the receiver, and timidly speak with her back to the window.

"Xiaojie, that's not how you spend money!"

As expected, Zhong Guo's first words were accusatory. He cared more about the thousand dollars she had spent at the newspaper than about what she had done.

"It's not easy for our family to run a business. If it weren't for the good policies, how would we have the money to send you to dance lessons? You would have had to drop out of school like your sister-in-law to help with farm work."

"You're almost 20. When you come home for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I'll introduce you to a few potential partners. Once you get married and have a man to take care of you, you won't have any more thoughts."

Upon hearing these words, Zhong Jie's eyes immediately dimmed.

"Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing that she didn't respond at all, Chung Kwok became somewhat unhappy.

"Understood."

Zhong Jie gave a hesitant reply, her mood plummeting, and she felt utterly lost.

"Jingjing, did your brother do something to the Sanjiang Life Daily?"

Unlike Zhong Jie's chaotic situation, Shen Fenghe was perfectly clear-headed and immediately pulled Zhu Jing aside to inquire about it that very night.

Zhu Jing curled the corners of her lips, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, "Why don't you ask my brother!"

"Ask away!" Shen Fenghe raised her chin.

The next morning, as soon as she arrived at the clinic, she made a phone call to the camp.

"Feed? Who are you looking for?" It was Niu Xiaohua who answered the phone again.

This time, Shen Fenghe openly revealed her identity: "Hello comrade, I am Shen Fenghe, Ye Zhengting's wife. Is he available to take the call now?"

"It's inconvenient!" Niu Xiaohua blurted out.

"Ahem!" Noticing a clear silence on the other end of the line, Niu Xiaohua quickly added, "I'll have him call you back later!"

"You're practically a switchboard operator now!"

After seeing Shen Fenghe off, Niu Xiaohua turned around and saw Niu Da Wa standing behind her, staring at her menacingly. She was startled at first, but then walked out of the duty room without a care.

"Once the new village is built, I'll ask Commander Ye to install telephone lines in our village, and I'll become the village's telephone operator."

"Little Flower!"

Niu Da Wa caught up with her in one stride, slapped her on the shoulder, and solemnly reminded her, "Commander Ye has a wife, and they're both reportedly pregnant."

Niu Xiaohua's body stiffened slightly.

But the next moment, as if she hadn't heard him, she said to herself, "I'll take some wild berries I just picked to Commander Ye to try."

After saying that, she picked up the basket full of wild fruits and went to find Ye Zhengting without looking back.

Niu Da-wa was both angry and helpless. "Your surname is Niu, but you're not a cow. Why do you have such a stubborn temper?"

Shen Fenghe waited all day, but Ye Zhengting didn't call back by the time she got off work. She was a little disappointed, but not too much. "He must be very busy and can't call me back."

With the discontinuation of the "True Feelings and Love Exist in the World" column in the Sanjiang Life Daily, the gossip in the family compound gradually decreased, and Shen Fenghe clearly felt that everyone's gaze towards her was no longer barbed.

However, the relationship between her and Ye Zhengting still leaves much to the imagination, especially during this period of intense public scrutiny, as Ye Zhengting has not made a public appearance or used any other person to clarify the rumors.

This inevitably leads to speculation that Ye Zhengting only feels a sense of responsibility towards Shen Fenghe, but not affection.

Shen Fenghe was quite frank about this, because in her view, it was simply the truth.

"Those people just don't understand! My brother cares about my sister-in-law not just lip service, he's done a lot behind the scenes."

She didn't care, but Zhu Jing couldn't remain indifferent. As soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, she couldn't help but complain to her friends.

"Of course, it would take a lot of authority to stop a newspaper column from being published." Yuan Yuan nodded in agreement.

"But we can't say it outright, otherwise some people will make a fuss about it again," Chung Chun-wing said in a low voice.

Xiao Xiuxiang protested, "So some people are allowed to take money and do bad things, but our Commander Ye isn't allowed to protect his wife with his authority? What's the difference between this and 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people aren't allowed to clean up their messes'?"

"Ahem! It's the common people lighting lamps," Liu Yufang corrected with a laugh.

"Oh...you all understand what I mean!" Xiao Xiuxiang waved her hand, turned to look at Shen Fenghe who was eating in silence, and comforted her, "Xiaohe, don't worry about what they think, just live a good life with Commander Ye."

Shen Fenghe looked up and smiled at her, "You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine, really."

Compared to her previous life, so what if her husband doesn't love her anymore? At least she now has a stable home, a group of good girlfriends who care about her, and a satisfying job.

There is also a baby who is about to be born.

She is already content!

"Xiaohe has a good attitude; you should all learn from her," Zhong Junrong said with a smile.

"Is Commander Ye's wife inside?"

Just as Zhu Jing was about to say that she couldn't learn it, a gate guard walked in, peeked around, and finally fixed his gaze on their table. He then walked over and bowed to Shen Fenghe, "Madam Ye, Commander Ye has sent a batch of supplies. The truck has already driven to the outside of the family compound. Please come with me to check them and then move them to your home."

"Supplies? What supplies?" Zhu Jing asked curiously.

The guard said, "It looks like a cartload of wild fruits, vegetables, roots, and insects."

"Wow!" Zhu Jing's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, and the others were also surprised and delighted.

These supplies are the main source of snacks for children in both urban and rural areas, as well as a supplement to farm-made meals. They are all collected by hand from the mountains and cannot be bought with money.

As several guards unloaded boxes of mountain produce from the truck and carried them to the third floor where Shen Fenghe lived, the family compound soon became abuzz with excitement.

"Commander Ye has been keeping quiet lately; turns out he's been busy procuring mountain products!"

"These things aren't something you can just do whenever you want. The mountains around Shanwowo Village are extremely dangerous, and locals have to take great risks when they go into the mountains to collect mountain products, let alone bring a whole truckload at once."

"Commander Ye is busy with the construction of a new village in Shanwowo Village. He's so busy with both things, no wonder he hasn't paid any attention to what's been happening lately."

"Perhaps it's not that they were indifferent, but rather that they were completely unaware; otherwise, why would they have the mind to go into the mountains to collect mountain products?"

"Didn't anyone tell him?"

"Besides the parties involved, who would dare to say such a thing?"

At this point, everyone's gaze towards Shen Fenghe changed again. Recalling her condition over the past few days, they indeed did not see any grievance or dejection on her face, as if this matter had no impact on her.

That takes incredible mental fortitude!

The truckload of mountain goods not only silenced the gossips but also changed people's perception of Shen Fenghe.

Even though Shen Fenghe herself still believed that Ye Zhengting didn't care about her, it was hard for her not to be moved.

To express her gratitude, she called the camp again after get off work.

"Hello, this is the construction site for the new village of Shanwowo. Who are you looking for?"
