The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

A few more days passed.

Lin Xiaoxue finally registered the trademark and prepared everything for franchising.

She looked at the calendar on the table. It had been a month since Lu Jingting went on the mission.

I can’t get in touch with him, and I miss him so much. I don’t know if he misses me too.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xiaoxue answered the call subconsciously, her heart tensing. Could it be Lu Jingting?

But what came from the phone was Lu's mother's crying voice: "Xiaoxue..."

This voice sounded very anxious, and Lin Xiaoxue quickly comforted: "Mom, what happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Her heart was in her throat.

"It was supposed to be a happy event..." Mother Lu's tone revealed helplessness and worry, "It's your sister-in-law who gave birth."

Lin Xiaoxue calculated the time. It was already March, which was close to the due date.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't that a good thing? Congratulations, sister-in-law! I'll send some money over as a red envelope later."

Who knew that Lu's mother sighed again and again: "Don't mention it... the baby was born last night. But she cried and said she was sorry to the Lu family... because she gave birth to another girl."

Lin Xiaoxue was stunned: "Mom! Is it so important to have a boy or a girl now? Two girls would be great!"

"Ah..." Mother Lu seemed to calm down a little, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but your sister-in-law takes it very seriously!"

Lin Xiaoxue couldn't help but feel helpless when she heard what Lu's mother said. "Mom, I know you are trying to persuade her with good intentions, but crying really can't solve this kind of problem."

In her opinion, it was always the mother-in-law's old concept of favoring boys over girls that was at fault, but who would have thought that the Lu family had the opposite situation.

"That's right!" Mother Lu agreed, "I said that too. But Guifen just couldn't control her emotions. You said she was weak after giving birth, how could she get better by crying all the time?"

"Um..." Lin Xiaoxue interrupted, "Why don't you let your sister-in-law answer the phone? Maybe she can listen to a few of my words."

"Okay!" Mother Lu agreed quickly, "Wait a minute."

From the other end of the line came the voice of Lu's mother calling Su Guifen to come over and answer the phone.

Not long after, Su Guifen's weak and crying voice sounded: "Hello."

"Sister-in-law, congratulations on your successful delivery." Lin Xiaoxue started by offering her blessings.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, sobbing was heard from the other end of the phone.

One could even hear Mother Lu's anxious words of comfort: "Why are you crying again?"

Lin Xiaoxue held her forehead with her hand as she felt a headache: "Sister-in-law...it's a new era now! You really need to change your mindset."

Su Guifen seemed to have found someone to talk to, with countless tears in her words: "But I looked forward to it so much, but in the end it's still a girl... How can I not be sad?

I am guilty! I failed to leave an heir to the Lu family... Although they didn't say anything, they must be blaming me in their hearts..."

"Stop, I didn't expect you to be such a sister-in-law." Lin Xiaoxue interrupted Su Guifen, "Do you look down on me?"

Su Guifen was stunned: "How is it possible?"

She was completely confused. Why did the conversation suddenly turn into her looking down on others?

"The birth of a child is destiny. If you nurture them well, they will be equally successful. My mother's thoughts at that time were probably the same as yours now, favoring boys over girls to an outrageous degree.

What was the result? Look at my family! I broke off relations with them." Lin Xiaoxue said with a bit of sadness and helplessness.

"Look, I'm a girl too. Now I can open a factory, do business, open a store, etc., so I should be considered promising, right?"

After hearing this, Su Guifen was silent for a moment, "You are indeed more promising than men."

Lin Xiaoxue continued, "Yes! But my family doesn't have this kind of support and recognition. They exploit and use girls. Look at my two brothers, what else can they do except cause trouble all day? They don't even have a basic sense of responsibility.

On the other hand, my sister is also a girl, but she was admitted to university!"

Lin Xiaoxue's voice gradually softened, "So, sister-in-law, gender is really not important. Since you've given birth to a child, you should love her and raise her well.

If the child knows in the future that he or she has lost the love of their mother or has been discriminated against because of their gender, you can imagine how sad they will be.”

After hearing this, Su Guifen seemed to be enlightened, "Actually... I don't mind gender that much."

Unable to hide her shame, she added: "I just feel sorry for the Lu family."

Lin Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Mother-in-law is sensible and doesn't care about these things at all. Why do you bother yourself and put shackles on yourself?"

Su Guifen said softly: "What you said makes sense."

Lin Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just do as I say. Take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Your health is the capital of revolution. Just raise the child and there is no need to think too much about other things."

Su Guifen's eyes were slightly wet, and she wiped away the tears, "I... I'll listen to you."

At this time, Mother Lu couldn't help laughing and took the phone and said, "It seems that Xiaoxue has to persuade him. Nothing I say is effective. By the way, where is Jingting? I called the army to ask, and they said they were on a mission."

Lin Xiaoxue nodded and replied, "Yes, Mom, I've been on a mission for a month, I should be back soon."

Mother Lu continued to ask with concern: "You are alone outside now, you must take good care of yourself."

"Mom, don't worry. The wives of the soldiers in the military building here are all very caring towards me."

"That's good. There's nothing else to talk about. I'll hang up first." Mother Lu ended the call gently.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxue shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When can I get pregnant?

She would love it no matter it's a boy or a girl.

Just as Lin Xiaoxue was immersed in her fantasy, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Come in." She responded casually.

Employee Xiao He looked in through the crack of the door and said, "Boss, someone's looking for you outside."

Lin Xiaoxue thought it was someone who had contacted her before and wanted to join the dessert shop.

However, when she went downstairs, she was extremely surprised.

"Qingqing! Why are you here suddenly?"

Looking at Zhang Qingqing, she looked slovenly, with dark circles under her eyes, and seemed particularly tired.

Lin Xiaoxue was confused. "What happened? You didn't get enough rest last night?"

Zhang Qingqing said hurriedly, "How can I sleep? You know that He Min, right?"

Lin Xiaoxue responded in surprise, "He Min? Isn't she the military wife who worked in your store for two months?"

Although I didn't have much contact with her, her arrogant resignation was still very impressive.

Zhang Qingqing sneered, "She has found a good place now."

Lin Xiaoxue didn't quite understand. "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is normal. There's no need for you to be angry about this."

"Angry?" Zhang Qingqing couldn't help but raise her voice. "You know what? She's such a bad girl! She worked in my shop for two months just to learn skills. Now she's opened her own shop!"
