After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Wang Xiuzhi felt that she had not raised her child well; not long after arriving at the army, her child had already learned the bad habit of vanity.

Wang Xiuzhi was worried that Commander Han would blame her.

Commander Han sighed. "How much money do we have left?"

Wang Xiuzhi got up and found a locked box in the room.

Upon opening the box, one finds a small pouch wrapped in layers of scraps of cloth.

"It's all here, a total of 563 yuan," Wang Xiuzhi said, taking out two more coins from her pocket. "I also have one yuan here."

Commander Han hadn't expected so much money.

Commander Han's grandfather suffered from diabetes.

In addition, he is old and has diabetic foot, so he can only have his leg amputated at the county hospital. He also needs to have his wound cleaned and dressed frequently, which costs tens of yuan every month.

In their hometown, it would be an astronomical sum.

Commander Han's parents both advised him to give up, but Commander Han was raised by his grandfather, and now that he has finally made something of himself and can earn money, of course he should get treatment.

Commander Han didn't even trust his parents, but he trusted Wang Xiuzhi.

He sent all the money to Wang Xiuzhi so that she could take her grandfather to the county town for medical treatment.

Wang Xiuzhi was honest; she did whatever Commander Han asked her to do.

Commander Han believed she wouldn't be perfunctory about the old man's condition; he just hadn't expected Wang Xiuzhi to have saved so much money.

"Xiuzhi, with the money for Grandpa's medical treatment and the money we give to our parents every month, my salary is almost all gone. How did you manage to save so much money?"

Wang Xiuzhi revealed a secretive, proud smile, "I have hands and feet, I can work, and one person's work points are enough for the three of us to eat our fill, so there's no need to spend money."

Commander Han was speechless, his throat feeling as if it were blocked.

Commander Han always felt that he had done things with a clear conscience.

During his many years in the army, he only kept a few dollars for himself each month, sending the rest back home.

He felt that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a son, grandson, husband, and father.

But now, the money laid out before him is tantamount to telling him that he has not fulfilled his responsibility to even contribute financially to this small family.

He didn't speak, and Wang Xiuzhi became nervous again.

She didn't understand why Commander Han was unhappy.

She's saved up so much money; Commander Han should be happy.

At least... at least we should praise her once.

Commander Han stared at Wang Xiuzhi for a long time, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Xiuzhi touched her face, thinking she had gotten something dirty on it. "Old Han, what's wrong? If I did something wrong, just tell me."

Commander Han suddenly understood why Lin Zhilan had asked him if he wasn't sending money home.

It turns out that his family had never spent any of his money.

Looking at Wang Xiuzhi's frayed short-sleeved shirt and the two children's trousers that were too short, Commander Han suddenly felt uneasy.

"Xiuzhi, you need to learn how to spend money."

Wang Xiuzhi quickly shook her head, "Why would I need to learn if I'm spending money? I'm not spending money because there's nothing to spend it on."

Commander Han said helplessly, "We have so much money at home, we don't need to be too frugal."

Wang Xiuzhi was at a loss. She felt that Commander Han was blaming her, but was it wrong not to spend money?

"Five hundred yuan isn't much. In the future, the two children will need to go to school and get married. There will be many other expenses."

Commander Han sighed, "I can earn money. Now that my grandfather is gone, we can save a lot of money in a month. We can save enough for the children's schooling and weddings."

Before Wang Xiuzhi could say anything more, Commander Han continued, "Xiuzhi, you've worked hard for most of your life, it's time to enjoy some happiness."

Commander Han and Wang Xiuzhi are both the kind of people who don't say mushy things.

Upon hearing what he said, Wang Xiuzhi's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

With those words from him, Wang Xiuzhi felt that all the hardships she had endured were worthwhile.

However, once hardship is praised, people who endure hardship become even more willing to endure it.

"I'm already quite fortunate. You can rest assured about things at home, and I definitely won't squander the money."

Commander Han had a headache.

He's actually the type of person who's reluctant to spend money, and he doesn't know how to persuade people to spend money.

He simply banged on the table, declaring, "From now on, spending money will be our family's responsibility; we'll have to spend it whether we want to or not!"

Wang Xiuzhi didn't understand what he meant at all. "Then...how should we spend the money?"

Wang Xiuzhi genuinely didn't know how to spend money.

After thinking for a moment, Commander Han said, "Starting tomorrow, you and your child will each need to have two new outfits made and each buy a new pair of shoes."

Wang Xiuzhi wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but when she met Commander Han's gaze, she swallowed her words.

Commander Han took out some small bills from his pocket, counted them, and handed one yuan to each of the two children.

"Take this to buy popsicles tomorrow. Eat as many as you want, milk popsicles are fine."

Commander Han has only ever eaten an ice pop once in his life, a 3-cent white sugar ice pop, and he can still seem to remember the taste.

Liang Ping and Han Mei hesitated to accept the offer and looked at Wang Xiuzhi instead.

Wang Xiuzhi frowned. "Your father gave it to you, so just keep it... but don't spend it recklessly."

Fearing the children might be hesitant to spend the money, Commander Han instructed, "What's Dr. Lin's nephew's name? Jiang Chengzhou? Whatever he buys, you two should buy the same."

Liang Ping and Han Mei looked at each other, somewhat incredulous.

Commander Han stuffed the money into their hands and said seriously, "Tell me what you want. As long as it's a reasonable request, your parents will try their best to fulfill it. But you absolutely cannot do anything sneaky. If this happens again, I will still hit you."

"Um……"

"Um……"

Commander Han then looked at Wang Xiuzhi, "From now on, spending money will be your task. When I come back tomorrow, I must see the new clothes and shoes you bought."

Wang Xiuzhi was at a loss, completely unsure of what to do.

After seeing off Commander Han and his family, Lin Zhilan was carefully helped into the living room by Su Lang.

Deng Jing frowned and came over to help him up. "Where did you hurt yourself? I shouldn't have let you go."

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "She didn't fall; Su Lang was just being too cautious."

"Xiao Lang?" Deng Jing asked, puzzled.

Su Lang grinned, "Second Sister-in-law, Zhilan is pregnant?"

"Really?" Deng Jing's voice rose in surprise, but remembering the children were asleep, she lowered her voice again and, holding Lin Zhilan's hand, asked, "How long has it been? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's only been a month," Lin Zhilan said with a smile. "I want to wait until it's confirmed before I find an opportunity to tell everyone."

"That's great, that's great!" Deng Jing clapped her hands excitedly. "It's too late now, you should get some rest. Xiao Lang, help her upstairs to sleep."

"No," Deng Jing looked at the stairs again. "You're pregnant, it's not good for you to live upstairs. It will be even more inconvenient as your belly gets bigger. I think I'll move to my parents' place tomorrow, and you can move downstairs."
