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

"I was just saying, you two do as you please!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan returned and saw the mother and daughter whispering to each other. He leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about? You don't want me to know?"

"Mom says we should have two more kids, what do you think?"

Lu Yuan was stunned and subconsciously refused: "Qiqi and Xiubao are enough. I want to give them 100% of my love."

"What if something unexpected happens?"

"If I have a child, I'll have it; if I don't, I won't force it. I'm very content with my life now."

"I'll listen to you!" Qiao Manman smiled sweetly at Lu Yuan, giving him plenty of face and respect.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and ruffled her hair: "I just said it offhand!"

"By the way, I'm out of postpartum confinement now. Has Xia Zhao's wedding been finalized yet?"

"The invitations have already been sent out by the sixth day of next month."

Qiao Manman counted on her fingers: "There are still more than ten days, enough time to prepare for her."

"Lu Yuan, you're at work tomorrow. Have Xia Zhao come over; I'm preparing her dowry."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay!"

The next day, Xia Zhao came over with two tiger-head hats: "Sister-in-law, these are gifts for Qiqi and Xiubao. The craftsmanship isn't very good, please don't mind."

"How could that be? This little hat is so cute!"

Qiao Manman held it in her hand and examined it carefully. She found that the stitches were fine and the colors were gentle, showing that a lot of care had been put into it.

"Zhaozhao, come inside with me!"

Xia Zhao hummed in agreement and stepped into the bedroom.

Qiao Manman took out several unopened sets of clothes from the closet: "I prepared these for you, try them on quickly and see if they fit!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xia Zhao's eyes sparkled like stars.

He opened the plastic bag and took out the red shirt inside: "This material is so smooth."

"And the pants, try them on together. If they don't fit, I'll get you a larger size."

Xia Zhao blushed as she took off her coat and put on the new clothes, saying, "They fit me well, sister-in-law, I really like them!"

Qiao Manman praised, "That's a great waist and a great bottom, nice figure!"

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, I'm shy!"

Qiao Manman raised her hand and gently pinched her nose: "And there's more! Do you like these items? I'll take them back as part of your dowry!"

The items Qiao Manman gave me included a blue dress, a black wool coat, and a fuchsia cotton-padded jacket.

They were all designer items she got from her online store, and they were really beautiful.

Xia Zhao loved it so much, yet felt somewhat unworthy to wear it.

Qiao Manman said, "What's wrong with you? You're rich, have a job, are capable, and beautiful, so naturally you can wear whatever you want."

Besides, none of these items are outrageous; they're just a bit better quality.

"But I'm in the military, so I have to wear a uniform most of the time!"

"Then wear it during holidays, or wear it at home."

Women always need a few of these items in their wardrobe. Even if they don't wear them, just looking at them makes them happy!

And shoes too, try these on and see if they're comfortable!

Xia Zhao nodded, changed into her little leather shoes, and walked around the room a few times: "It's very comfortable, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Qiao Manman pulled a box from the bottom of the cabinet, inside which was a four-piece bedding set printed with bright red peonies, which looked luxurious and beautiful.

"Is there anything else you'd like? A watch, a radio, a sewing machine?"

“Sister-in-law, you’ve already given me so much. It’s my responsibility to take care of you, and I can’t treat you like a wallet and make endless demands.”

Besides, the "three turns and one sound" should be prepared by Ji Ming, so there's no need to trouble you and the regimental commander.

If he's in trouble, I'm fine with nothing. I'm not with him because of his financial status anyway.

“Ji Ming is a good catch. Let me tell you, you have to have a long-term vision.”

Don't listen to their nonsense. Ji Ming's family isn't helping him. Once you actually experience life there, you'll know how great it is!
