The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Tan Gaoyuan and Sister Tian from next door were also invited, and on Sunday, the two families went together.

When Jiang Linghan applied for the house, there were only two bungalows left besides apartment buildings. He chose the house next to Tan Gaoyuan's, and the He Regiment Commander's family moved into the remaining one.

Both houses were quite dilapidated. Jiang Linghan put a lot of effort into repairing them, while Regiment Commander He's house looked rather simple, probably because he had only been there for a short time.

The other invited regimental and battalion commanders also arrived, along with their families. It was a tacit understanding among everyone that no children were brought to the occasion.

These days, food is rationed, so there's no reason to come empty-handed. Everyone brought their own rice, flour, and vegetables. Changning and his group brought 1 jin of rice and 1 jin of pork belly, which wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either.

Chang Ning saw that Zhou Lanfen had also arrived, and he also met the rumored Commander Li, who had a dignified appearance and seemed somewhat taciturn.

The men sat down in the main room, while the women went to the kitchen to help. With so many people, there were definitely two tables to sit at, and the hosts couldn't be the only ones to help, not to mention that Commander He's wife was pregnant.

Chang Ning also went to the kitchen and found that the person in charge of cooking was an old lady, probably Commander He's former mother-in-law, while Tao Hongdou was helping out.

Her belly was already quite noticeable, making it difficult for her to bend over. Everyone quickly advised her to rest aside, saying that with so many people, one more wouldn't make a difference, and that she shouldn't tire out the baby!

It just so happened that Aunt Zhou was sitting alone over there, and asked Tao Hongdou to go and chat with her. Tao Hongdou couldn't refuse, so she went with a smile on her lips.

The other sisters-in-law are all excellent cooks, but Changning doesn't know how to cook much, so she was assigned to wash vegetables.

The layout of this house was similar to theirs, with the kitchen connected to the backyard. When Changning was washing vegetables in the backyard, she heard the old lady talking non-stop!

"My son-in-law's next wife is such a lazy bum. She says she'll take the kids to school, but she ends up taking them all morning and I don't know what she's secretly doing!"

The women's wives were a little embarrassed and said, "She's pregnant now, so it's understandable that she walks slowly on the road."

The old lady curled her lip and said, "What's so great about being pregnant? Who hasn't been pregnant? She really thinks she's some kind of precious person! She doesn't cook or do laundry at home every day, just waiting for me, this old woman, to serve her!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then the old lady said, "She only cares about her family and wants to send everything to them, but she doesn't think about my two grandsons at all!"

"Auntie, you're getting on in years, why don't you take a rest?"

The others were quite embarrassed and interrupted the old lady, saying, "This kitchen is small, and it's inconvenient for so many people to stay here. We'll cook the meal!"

The old lady said, "That won't do, you are all guests!"

Chang Ning was speechless. She brought in the washed vegetables. Everyone says that you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public. She knew they were guests, so why did she say these things in front of so many people? Was she afraid they wouldn't know?

Ultimately, this was their family matter, and as outsiders, they shouldn't interfere. So they changed the subject, saying they would go to the mountain in a couple of days to pick some mugwort to ward off the five poisonous creatures, and that they would buy some white sugar to make zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).

No one responded, and the old lady was a little disappointed. After a while, when the meal was almost ready, she asked the man outside to set up the table and prepare to serve the dishes.

Suddenly someone said, "Why did Commander Jiang come in? You can sit outside!"

Chang Ning turned around and saw Jiang Linghan. The men were all dressed similarly, in military green short-sleeved T-shirts, but his face was easy to recognize. He said, "I came in to see if there's anything I can help with."

He walked over to Chang Ning and asked her what she had been doing. Chang Ning said she was washing vegetables.

One of the women laughed and said, "They probably came here to help out!"

He came in specifically to see his wife!

Everyone's heard that Commander Jiang is incredibly good to his wife, and today I've seen it for myself.

With so many men outside, none of them were willing to go into the kitchen. Even He Hao, the host, was busy greeting people outside.

The women's wives started teasing her, and Chang Ning blushed, pushing Jiang Linghan: "Go and serve the dishes!"

Jiang Linghan then carried a plate out with one hand.

Tao Hongdou also came in to help. She went to the men's table first and heard He Hao say to her, "If you're tired, just rest. The ladies won't say anything."

The others chimed in, "Yes, if you're tired, just rest. We're all family here."

Zhou Lanfen, who hadn't stepped into the kitchen since entering, also spoke up: "I didn't realize Commander He was such a caring person."

"Of course! We've seen it for ourselves today!"

Men and women alike started to cheer, and Tao Hongdou smiled shyly.

No one noticed that Commander He's mother-in-law's face fell.

After the table outside was set up, the women set up another table in the inner room. The two children from Commander He's family, who had been sitting quietly the whole time, also came to help. Everyone praised the two children for being so sensible.

The little boy put a plate of food on the table and ran back into the kitchen. Chang Ning, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw this and reminded him, "Slow down."

The dishes were almost ready, and Sister Tian invited her to sit down. Chang Ning sat down next to Sister Tian. A little while later, Tao Hongdou came out of the kitchen with a large bowl.

Just as one of the women stood up to take it, the little boy ran out of the kitchen again, carrying a plate. Sister Tian was still wondering, and said, "Haven't they all been served?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the child ran forward with his head down and bumped straight into Tao Hongdou!

The large bowl in Tao Hongdou's hand fell to the ground, spilling the soup all over the floor. Tao Hongdou slipped and fell down as well, and then her scream was heard.

No one expected this to happen. The women exclaimed in surprise and quickly surrounded her, asking, "Tao, how are you feeling?"

Chang Ning was also startled. She saw that Tao Hongdou's face was pale, large beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead, and she was biting her lip: "It hurts, my stomach..."

A woman suddenly screamed, "She's bleeding!"

Everyone looked and saw that blood was slowly seeping from Tao Hongdou's lower body. Chang Ning gasped, "Quick, take her to the hospital!"

"Yes, yes, get him to the hospital quickly, and call Commander He here immediately!"

Just as He Hao finished toasting outside and put down his glass, he heard a woman rush out in a panic, shouting, "Commander He, something's happened to your wife! Come quick!"

The previously lively atmosphere suddenly froze. He Hao, still smiling, immediately stood up and strode inside upon hearing this. The others lost their appetite for food and drink and stood up to ask, "What happened?"

The woman said with lingering fear, "His wife was just bumped and started bleeding."

As soon as He Hao entered, he saw Tao Hongdou sitting on the ground, supported by a woman behind her. There was more and more blood under her. When she saw him come in, she immediately said, "Commander He, quickly take your wife to the hospital!"

He quickly picked up Tao Hongdou and rushed to the hospital.

No one could eat anymore, so everyone followed behind and headed to the hospital.

Jiang Linghan appeared beside her without her noticing. Seeing Chang Ning looking over, he took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look too."
