Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 220 This dress is something I asked the Goddess of Fertility for; it can protect you.

Fearing she might omit details or cause misunderstandings due to a lack of prior knowledge, Qiao Manman made her point very clearly: "I've only seen these things superficially, and they may not be the truth."

I just wanted to tell you that this mission is extremely dangerous, and you must be very careful.

"Okay, I've got it. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Qiao Manman shook her head, her voice filled with terror: "No, we can't just go like this."

She didn't know why she was having these dreams, but she knew that Lu Yuan absolutely could not be allowed to get into trouble.

With a flick of his wrist, he produced a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a Strength Pill, which he then fed to Lu Yuan. He refilled the bathtub with hot spring water and had him soak in it.

"Don't worry, honey, I have a lucky charm." Lu Yuan held Qiao Manman's hand, trying to calm her down.

Qiao Manman ignored him and asked the system, "System, was my dream a warning or something? Why did I suddenly dream of such terrible things?"

"I know nothing about it, but the host can prepare in advance."

The system store offers a protective suit, priced in points, that can be applied to the skin for all-around protection. It's heat-insulating, cold-insulating, fire-resistant, and gun-proof, and can even be bound to the user by blood.

Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief: "You still say you're not from the cultivation world? This is clearly a life-saving artifact crafted by a weapon refiner."

Qiao Manman redeemed the protective suit with her points, and upon receiving it, she sincerely thanked them: "Thank you, Tongtong!"

"No need, host. Protecting you and the male master is simply what I should do."

Qiao Manman held the protective suit, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and said to Lu Yuan, "Wash it clean and put this on."

Lu Yuan nodded and rubbed off the stains on his body. After rinsing his clothes three times, he put them on and found them to be as light and thin as if they were nothing.

Qiao Manman had him cut his finger to bind the protective suit to his body. The suit instantly vanished without a trace, merging with his body.

"I asked the Goddess of Fertility for these clothes; they can protect you."

Qiao Manman exchanged for two Rejuvenation Pills and cut them into soybean-sized pieces: "These pills can save lives. If anyone is injured, feed them some, and they can at least last until the mission ends."

"Don't worry, I will bring them all back safely." Lu Yuan looked into her eyes and solemnly promised.

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, and seeing the first light of dawn in the east, she knew that the person was about to leave.

She grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and kissed him on the lips. Lu Yuan deepened the kiss, and Qiao Manman took the opportunity to put the water-repelling bead into his mouth and make him swallow it.

Lu Yuan only felt something cool and refreshing enter his body, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

After the kiss ended, he looked at Qiao Manman with lingering affection, put on the cotton-padded coat that Qiao Manman had specially made for him, put on the Lei Feng hat and red scarf, and headed towards the perilous distance.

Qiao Manman didn't go to see him off; she stood on the balcony and watched for a long time. As the sky grew brighter at three or four in the morning, her heart became more and more at peace.

I didn't go back to my room to rest until I felt a bit cold. I thought I would have insomnia, but to my surprise, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Zhang Danqiu knocked on the door when she woke up around seven o'clock: "Little Lu's wife, is Little Lu's wife awake yet?"

Qiao Manman quickly put on her cotton-padded coat and opened the door: "Good morning, sister-in-law, come in and sit down!"

"Oh, good!" Zhang Danqiu entered the room and sat on the bench: "It's really different with the stove on; it's much warmer than last night."

Qiao Manman nodded: "Yes!"

He poured her a glass of water, saying, "Warm yourself up, sister-in-law."

"Oh, okay, thank you!" Zhang Danqiu took a sip and asked, "Did I bother you? I was thinking that you had come all this way and needed to rest well."

Then he thought, "The team has temporarily added a purchasing vehicle today; it would be best if I could hitch a ride with it."

Qiao Manman asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly increase the number of purchasing vehicles?"

"They said it's going to snow in a couple of days, so we need to increase our supplies. Also, Commander Chen's wife isn't feeling well, and everyone's saying they're going to check on her."

The team was considerate and added an extra vehicle so we could buy some New Year's goods on the way.

"That's great, when do we leave?"

"Eight o'clock! I was afraid you'd be late, so I came right after ringing the alarm!"

Qiao Manman asked suspiciously, "Did the bell ring? I didn't hear it!"

"You're too tired, you're fast asleep! Okay, I'm going back now. Get ready and come find me up ahead, I'll take you to the car!"

"Okay, thank you very much, sister-in-law!"

After Qiao Manman and the others left, they went to the bedroom and slipped into the spatial dimension.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth in the bathroom, I went to the restaurant for breakfast before staggering out the door in my floral cotton-padded jacket.

"Sister Zhang, I'm here!"

"Oh, good!"

Qiao Manman didn't go into the courtyard; she called out from outside and waited.

Zhang Danqiu came out and scolded, "What are you waiting like an idiot at the door? Come in and sit down!"

Qiao Manman laughed: "Since we weren't planning on taking a car, we didn't bother with all that. Is your sister-in-law ready?"

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Danqiu was just about to leave when she remembered something: "Um, wait a moment, I need to get something."

She rushed into the house and took out Qiao Manman's red scarf: "I washed it last night and put it on the kang to dry. Luckily, it's dry!"

Qiao Manman wrapped the scarf around her neck: "You've only worn it for a short time, so there's no need to wash it! I don't mind!"

"She really loves this scarf. Yesterday she wore it and wouldn't take it off, and accidentally stepped on two footprints. I want to apologize to you, sister-in-law."

"It's okay, they're just small things."

Qiao Manman didn't care, and then she heard Zhang Danqiu say, "No wonder Battalion Commander Lu likes you. You have such a gentle personality."

"Everyone in our compound who came from the city is so arrogant, you're the only one who doesn't care about these things."

Qiao Manman laughed and changed the subject: "Everyone says they want to go see Sister Chen. Who is Sister Chen? Why does everyone seem to like her so much?"

"Sister-in-law Chen's surname is Meng, and her name is Meng Peiyu. She's a very capable person in our residential compound. She has a lot of connections and can often get her rare items. Since everyone needs something from her, they naturally have a good relationship with her."

"What illness does she have? Is it serious?" Qiao Manman asked, feigning concern.

"Well, who knows? A few days ago, the sun was shining, and everyone was chatting in the small square when she suddenly started spitting blood."

The political commissar's wife was so frightened she fainted. Several people who came to help her twisted their ankles because of the slippery road.

When they took him to the hospital, they couldn't find anything wrong. But Comrade Meng vomited blood three times, his face and body covered in blood, it was quite frightening.

The doctors and nurses were hesitant to discharge her, saying she needed to be observed.

Her husband, Commander Chen, was originally preparing to go on a mission, but was called back at the last minute, supposedly because he was worried about Comrade Meng having an accident.

So many days have passed, and the person is still perfectly fine, and no illness has been found. Isn't that strange?

"That's quite strange!"

"So, everyone decided to go and see her. In case she needs any help, they can lend a hand."

Qiao Manman nodded: "The sisters-in-law are kind-hearted!"

"Well, we're all military wives, we should help each other out!"
