After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"Xuezhi...Xuezhi..." Li Xiumei had pain in her cervical vertebrae, back, neck, and headache. She felt uncomfortable all over her body. She shouted weakly.

Why hasn’t the old hen soup been cooked yet after so long?

She was already starving, and she would have eaten by this time in the past.

At this time, Su Xuezhi hurriedly walked towards the house, her hair was wet and messy, and she exuded an unpleasant smell of chicken shit. "Aunt Li, I'm sorry, I have never caught a chicken before. I tried for a long time but couldn't catch this old hen... and I was covered in shit..."

Li Xiumei knew that she couldn't blame Su Xuezhi. After all, Su Xuezhi had been a pampered young lady since childhood. How could she have ever done such a job?

Only the wild girl Lin Xuanxuan was used to doing this kind of work, so she was very good at it.

"Then please make me some millet porridge. It's okay to just drink some porridge." Li Xiumei said weakly while lying on the bed.

She had been so hungry for some time that her stomach ached.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Li. My friend from the art troupe just called me and said we need to rehearse the show..." Su Xuezhi's face was full of guilt. "How about you eat a cake to fill your stomach?"

Su Xuezhi walked towards the kitchen, took out a big pancake from the pot and handed it to Li Xiumei.

Li Xiumei weakly stretched out her hand to take it, touched the hard cake, and frowned, "But this cake..."

"I'm sorry, Aunt Li. I have to go quickly." Su Xuezhi said guiltily, and then ran away.

Li Xiumei looked at the hard pancake in her hand. It was so hard that it would hurt her teeth when she took a bite. She was old and her teeth were not in good condition, so she could only eat something soft.

How could she swallow this?

Li Xiumei sighed. She was starving at the moment. She was so hungry that she couldn't do anything. Her cervical spondylosis was also very uncomfortable. She felt dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit. She could only tear the pancake into two halves with force and try to bite the softer filling inside.

The hard pancake hurt my teeth and I had to stretch my neck when swallowing it. Even after chewing the pancake into pieces, it still hurt in my throat, like a knife.

If only Lin Xuanxuan were still alive, she would definitely steam the pancakes in the pot until they were soft and tender, and would definitely cook a pot of golden millet porridge for her and stew a fragrant and rich old hen soup for her.

Although she looks down on this daughter-in-law, she is really useful at critical moments.

On the contrary, although she liked Su Xuezhi more, when she was sick, Su Xuezhi could not help her at all and could not even make her a hot meal.

At this moment, Li Xiumei missed Lin Xuanxuan so much as she did now.

……

In the medical room.

After Ji Qingping fell into a coma, the old military doctor gave him an IV drip, and not long after, he opened his eyes.

"Xuanxuan..." Ji Qingping pursed his dry lips, pulled out the needle in his hand, and without caring about the bean-sized blood beads appearing on the back of his hand, he walked towards Lin Xuanxuan's bed.

At this time, Lin Xuanxuan's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. She lay weakly on the hospital bed and still hadn't woken up.

"Doctor, how long will it take for my wife to wake up?" Ji Qingping's eyes were sore and red, and he looked at the old military doctor not far away.

"It depends on her. Everyone's situation is different." The old military doctor was busy treating other patients and he spoke.

Ji Qingping sat beside Lin Xuanxuan's bed. He saw that Lin Xuanxuan was still wearing the wet skirt. He said in a hoarse voice, "Xuanxuan, wait a minute. I'll get you some clothes."

Before leaving, Ji Qingping looked at the old military doctor and said, "Doctor, please take care of my wife. I will go home and get her some clean clothes. I will be back soon."

"Okay, go ahead." The old military doctor was busy and said without raising his head.

Ji Qingping staggered away and ran all the way home.

"Qingping, you're awake..." Li Xiumei heard the noise in the living room, "My cervical spondylosis is acting up, can you give me a massage..."

"Mom, don't you like Su Xuezhi the most? Ask her to massage you. Xuanxuan has no one to take care of her in the hospital, so I have to go and accompany her." After saying that, Ji Qingping stood up and rushed to the master bedroom to start packing his things.

Xuanxuan is very weak now and will probably have to stay in the infirmary for a while.

He had to pack the clothes she would need to change during this period, some underwear, and the bowls and chopsticks for eating.

Ji Qingping opened the wardrobe——

Most of the clothes hanging on the clothes racks were his own, but very few belonged to Lin Xuanxuan.

The number of clothes that Lin Xuanxuan has throughout the four seasons over the years combined is not as many as the number of clothes that Li Xiumei has in just one summer.

Moreover, most of the clothes were old and several years old. There were only two new clothes. One was a white dress that Shen Li gave to Xuan Xuan, and the other was bought by Xuan Xuan herself after she got her salary...

Li Xiumei buys new clothes every year, every quarter, and every month.

Apart from these two relatively fashionable clothes, Lin Xuanxuan has no other clothes.

Look at the shoes again... The rest are broken, and some of the shoes have cracked soles. There are only two pairs of new shoes, one pair was given to her by Shen Li, and the other pair was bought by Xuan Xuan herself with her salary.

There are also underwear and pants, all of these clothes are worn out from washing.

Ji Qingping had never realized that Xuanxuan had endured so much hardship in this family, and that she hadn't even been able to buy a few new clothes after being married for so long...

Ji Qingping felt more and more bitter and unhappy in his heart.

After packing his clothes and daily necessities, Ji Qingping hurriedly left for the hospital.

……

Ji Qingping changed Lin Xuanxuan into clean clothes and wiped her hair. He held Lin Xuanxuan's cold little hand and put it on his face, "Xuanxuan, wake up soon."

The man looked at the weak person lying on the bed with red eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice.

Ji Qingping sat in front of the bed and watched over Lin Xuanxuan for a day and a night. Finally, Lin Xuanxuan opened her eyes.

"Xuanxuan, you're finally awake!" Ji Qingping had dark circles under his eye sockets and a blue stubble on his face. His pair of bloodshot eyes looked at Lin Xuanxuan excitedly.

"Child...my child..." Lin Xuanxuan placed her palm on her lower abdomen and said anxiously.

"Xuanxuan, you are still young and you will have children in the future." Ji Qingping's voice was hoarse and he didn't dare to look into Lin Xuanxuan's eyes.

Lin Xuanxuan looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, she realized his subtext.

Her child...is gone...

"Xuanxuan, are you thirsty? I'll go get you some water." As he said that, Ji Qingping let go of Lin Xuanxuan's hand, stood up and poured her a glass of water.

When the glass of water was handed to Lin Xuanxuan's lips, Lin Xuanxuan raised her hand and knocked it over.

Ji Qingping was splashed with a glass of water on his face and body, but he didn't care at all and wiped the water off his face, "Xuanxuan, are you hungry? I'll go buy you something to eat."

"I want to divorce you." Lin Xuanxuan's wet eyes were filled with bloodshot. She covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and big tears burst out of her eyes.
