Chapter 262 Only if he's gone can I pretend to be pitiful and beg for a child!
Qiao Manman: "......"
I touched my nose and thought to myself, "That thing is mine. I took it from the system."
But she didn't say anything, choosing to keep a low profile.
"Hey, I've heard about it too. I heard that thing is really amazing, that it can make women who can't have children give birth! I wonder if it's true!"
"Who knows! But since Commander He dared to sell, there shouldn't be any major problems!"
Qiao Manman didn't listen to what was said next. Her consciousness sank into the space, taking stock of how many fertility pills she still had.
"At this rate of spread, my fertility pills will soon be sold out!"
"Don't worry, host. If there aren't enough Fertility Pills, you can buy them from the system."
"Why would I spend two merit points to buy a fertility pill, then sell it and earn two more merit points? What's the point? Just wasting my time?"
"But you can get good stuff by signing in. Besides, you have a lot of points, so why not use them to buy fertility pills while the shop is having a sale!"
"If we're talking about being clever, you're the cleverest!" Qiao Manman joked, using her consciousness to simmer a sweet soup.
The car swayed to the family compound, Qiao Manman greeted everyone, and then went home.
After arranging the rice, flour, and cooking oil, I sat down to rest for a while, and the sweet soup was ready.
He brought the pot out, filled a bowl with some water, and drank it. Just as he finished drinking, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Qian Xiaoni, who had been idle for a few days, couldn't sit still and came over to seek attention.
Smelling the sweet aroma in the air, he snorted coldly, "What delicious food are you eating? Give me some, I have some good news for you!"
Qiao Manman wondered, was there anything she didn't know? Then she saw Xia Zhao wink at her and nod almost imperceptibly.
Qiao Manman, caught up in her mischievous mood, served Xia Zhao a bowl, ignoring Qian Xiaoni's request.
"No, what do you mean? I came to tell you the good news with great excitement, and this is the attitude you get!"
Qiao Manman happily sipped her sweet soup: "If there's any good news, my Lu Yuan will tell me. How can hearing it from you be considered a surprise? I don't want to make myself uncomfortable!"
Qian Xiaoni's stubbornness flared up: "You don't want me to tell you, but I'm determined to make you know. Tomorrow the military region is holding a ceremony to raise..."
Qiao Manman raised her hand to cover her mouth and pushed her out the door: "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, get out!"
He slammed the door shut and hummed a song as he cleaned the house.
That evening, Lu Yuan returned and invited her to the promotion ceremony.
Qiao Manman asked in surprise, "You're getting promoted to deputy commander? Ahhh, I knew it! You're the best!"
Lu Yuan smiled and ruffled her long hair: "I'm glad you like it!"
"By the way, didn't you just get promoted to battalion commander a while ago? You were promoted back to battalion commander in one go? That time interval seems a bit short!"
Lu Yuan said that he could have been promoted long ago, but he was held back by his superiors, and the external situation was not good, so he remained in the position of deputy battalion commander.
"Since the military region could promote Chen Junyan to regimental commander in three separate promotions, why can't I be promoted to deputy regimental commander based on my numerous military achievements?"
Qiao Manman thought it made sense, so she prepared a delicious meal for him in advance to celebrate.
The next day, Qiao Manman dressed in new clothes and followed Lu Yuan to the auditorium.
Sitting in the audience, listening to the leader speak, I was filled with excitement.
Half an hour later, people began to go on stage. Qiao Manman and the other family members applauded enthusiastically.
Until Lu Yuan went on stage, her gaze remained fixed on him, unable to look away.
At this moment, she truly felt the charm of that military uniform. She, Qiao Manman, wanted to possess Lu Yuan again in her next life.
After the meeting, the two left together.
Chen Junyan caught a glimpse of Qiao Manman's bright eyes and felt a sharp pang in his heart.
"Commander Chen, what's wrong? Why is your face so pale?"
"I've been running between the hospital and the military base these past few days, so I'm a bit tired. I just need a rest."
"Why don't you go and buy two fertility pills too!"
My sister-in-law has been married to you for so long but hasn't gotten pregnant, and she's always been sickly. I heard that those pills can not only help her have a baby, but also improve her health.
Chen Junyan nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask Commander He if there are any more!"
When Qiao Manman got home, she massaged Lu Yuan's legs and shoulders. Her smile was particularly ingratiating: "Darling, you've worked so hard!"
Lu Yuan grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear, "I don't want this kind of reward, I want..."
Qiao Manman blushed and punched his chest, saying, "You really know how to think things through!"
As he spoke, he released a soundproof array, and in the bedroom, he began his springtime exercise.
Three days later, Meng Peiyu was discharged from the hospital. Upon hearing that Lu Yuan had been promoted to deputy regimental commander, a forced smile appeared on her face: "Oh, really? He's quite lucky!"
Chen Junyan objectively commented: "He has made many contributions in the past two years. He has led his team back safely from several extremely dangerous missions. His promotion is well-deserved!"
Meng Peiyu doesn't think so.
If Chen Junyan's potential is not enough to surpass Lu Yuan's, then her choice is nothing short of a joke.
"Peiyu, what's wrong? Should we go to another hospital to get it checked out?"
Meng Peiyu shook her head: "I'm fine!"
Chen Junyan held her hand: "I heard that Commander He has a kind of magical pill that can make you have twins."
I want to ask him who has such miraculous medical skills. If possible, I'd like to ask him to help you recover.
Meng Peiyu was deeply moved: "Thank you, Junyan. Marrying you is the happiest thing in my life!"
As she spoke, she touched her belly, thinking to herself, "She's been trying so hard, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?"
The system can't do anything either, could it be...?
"That fertility pill, can it really make someone have a child?"
“I heard that some of my sisters-in-law are pregnant. Once they give birth to healthy babies that won’t harm the mothers, I’ll go to Commander He’s place to buy some.”
"It will be too late by then! Honey, we're not short of money. Let's buy the pills first, and then decide whether to take them or not after the other sisters-in-law have given birth!"
Chen Junyan hugged her and nodded: "Okay!"
***
As the month drew to a close, even though Xu Xiaotian had been promoted, Qian Xiaoni still didn't have a good attitude and was sarcastic and unfriendly every day.
She even claimed that Lu Yuan's promotion to deputy regimental commander was entirely due to her efforts. She argued that if she hadn't caused a scene in front of the leadership, how would they have realized his bias?
Qiao Manman was too lazy to pay attention to it, thinking that it would be time to send the person away in the next day or two.
Some time ago, while Meng Peiyu was hospitalized, Qiao Manman not only played in the space during her spare time, but also used the Truth-Dispelling Talisman on Qian Xiaoni on the night Lu Yuan was promoted.
I never imagined that this girl could be so heartless, even abandoning her own son.
If killing Old Man Xu was for self-preservation, then what about selling his son? Was it for money, or something else?
“I… I had my money stolen, and that woman said she could find a good family for Shitou, so I gave Shitou to her.”
"Do you really think so?"
Qian Xiaoni struggled: "Yes, that's what I think. But the more important reason is that Xu Lei is mentally challenged, and I'm afraid Lu Yuan will look down on him."
With him around, Lu Yuan will never truly accept me. Only when he's gone can I feign pitifulness and beg for a child that belongs to both me and Lu Yuan!
