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

Chapter 252 Using the tools of bad elements to save the kids in our family compound, no problem!

Xia Zhao had no doubts and handed Sun Hao to Qiao Manman. Qiao Manman performed the Heimlich maneuver as taught in the videos from her previous life, performing it once, twice, three times, until she was covered in sweat.

Qian Xiaoni stopped eating her sunflower seeds and reached out to grab Qiao Manman, but Xia Zhao quickly stopped her, saying, "What are you doing? Don't bother Sister-in-law Lu!"

Qian Xiaoni's eyes never left Qiao Manman's hand, her expression somewhat panicked: "Qiao, how do you know this kind of first aid?"

The onlookers immediately protested: "Xiao Tian's wife, what do you mean? You know this technique too? Why aren't you helping out? Why are you just watching the show?"

Haohao is only three years old, how can you be so heartless? I heard your Shitou is about the same age, aren't you afraid of him...?

"Don't you dare mention my Shitou! How could he be like Haohao? He's perfectly fine!"

Qian Xiaoni reacted strongly, leaving the onlookers bewildered. They assumed she couldn't stand harsh words and that's why she spoke so sternly.

Qiao Manman noticed her tension, fear, and unease, as if something had really happened to Shi Tou and she was avoiding the question.

But she couldn't care less; she just kept squeezing Sun Hao's chest. She thought, "Why isn't it getting better? If it doesn't, I'll have to use my cheat code."

Just as she was lost in thought, she spat out a peanut. Sun Hao burst into tears, his voice hoarse and filled with fear.

Xu Xiaotian happened to have borrowed a car and, seeing that Hao Hao was alive, breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister-in-law, come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

"Okay, okay!" Sister-in-law Sun hugged Sun Hao and sat in the back seat.

With a grateful look on his face, he said to Qiao Manman, "Little Lu's wife, I'll go to the hospital first, and when I get back, I'll personally come to thank you!"

"Go on, go on, it's alright!" Qiao Manman waved her hand and watched the three of them leave.

Qian Xiaoni grabbed Qiao Manman's arm: "Where did you learn 'hai'... 'hai'... you mean that first aid method from earlier?"

"You learned it from someone, so what?"

"Who taught you that? It doesn't seem to be common practice these days! You're not in contact with enemy agents, are you?"

Qiao Manman looked at him strangely: "Comrade Qian, are you out of your mind? What enemy agent would teach you first aid?"

I merely saw the old man in the cowshed rescuing people and learned his method. I shouldn't be charged with anything just because I saved Sun Haohao!

If that happens, who will dare to save people in the future?

Everyone thought about it and agreed, saying, "That's right, Little Xu's wife. Sister Lu just saved someone, you can't cause her any trouble!"

"Using the tools of bad elements to save the kids in our compound is perfectly reasonable!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Qiao Manman sneezed loudly: "I can't chat anymore, I have to go back and drink ginger soup. Good heavens, I'm freezing!"

Sister Jiang nodded: "Do you have any ginger at home? If not, I'll bring you some! Why did you come down wearing only a sweater? It's so cold outside, you'll catch a cold!"

Qiao Manman didn't turn around, and said as she ran, "Yes, yes, yes, I was afraid something might happen, so I didn't have time to put on my cotton-padded coat."

"Look, look, look! How kind-hearted Sister Lu is! If it were someone else, wouldn't they have packed their bags and left? By then, it would be too late."

When Qiao Manman returned home, she felt the temperature inside and sneezed several times in a row.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a piece of old ginger, sliced ​​it into more than a dozen pieces, put it in the pot, and cooked it together with red dates and brown sugar.

Fifteen minutes later, the pungent aroma filled the entire building. Qiao Manman pinched her nose and drank a large bowl of soup. She started sweating, and half an hour later, she felt completely refreshed.

The system laughed at her: "There are so many medicines in the store, why don't you know to buy some? You're so stingy with the Rejuvenation Pills, giving them to others, but I haven't seen you take any for yourself!"

Qiao Manman let out a long sigh: "How should I put it, it's probably about the experience. I feel that living is about experiencing spring, summer, autumn and winter, and eating grains!"

"You've made such a grand statement, but I think you've forgotten!"

Qiao Manman didn't refute it, but she genuinely felt that she hadn't reached the point where she needed to take medication.

Was it that the sweet soup didn't taste good, or that the spicy flavor was hard to accept? Neither. She actually quite enjoyed the process of warming herself up.

On the other side, upon hearing Lu Yuan's report, the leader rushed to the family compound and happened to run into Xu Xiaotian, who was taking Hao Hao to the hospital.

"This Qian Xiaoni is quite something!"

Lu Yuan didn't speak.

Upon learning that Sun Hao was not in danger, the two turned back.

Before leaving, Lu Yuan glanced at his own balcony, but couldn't see anything in the distance, so he naturally had no idea that Qiao Manman had almost caught a cold.

In his ear, Brigade Commander He kept rambling: "Your wife is really something. Not only is she brave and resourceful, but she also resolved the crisis of Qian Xiaoni clinging to you and rescued the military family."

By the way, where did she learn her medical skills?

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Boss, it's not convenient to say!"

"What, is there some hidden story behind this?" He thought to himself that as long as it wasn't a serious crime like treason, he, He, could take the blame.

Lu Yuan didn't reply, thinking he'd wait a bit longer. Once the fertility pill fermented, his wife's plan to rescue him could begin.

At noon, Lu Yuan went home for lunch and heard the full version of "the incident".

Upon learning that his wife had run out without even putting on her cotton-padded coat, his face darkened: "I know you're capable, but you can't treat your body like this. What if..."

"Pshaw, there's no 'what if'!"

Qiao Manman had to use her charm and tantrums, promising it wouldn't happen again, before she could appease him.

He asked Lu Yuan, "Do you have any news about Xu Lei? I suspect something happened to him!"

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious: "My comrades are investigating in Xujiagou. I estimate that news will come back soon!"

In the evening, news did indeed arrive, but unfortunately it wasn't good news.

Old Xu is gone; he was found in a dry well. His family is devastated and has already buried him.

After learning that his father had passed away, Xu Xiaotian felt a deep sense of loss.

To be honest, his parents didn't treat him well. They didn't feed him when he was little, and when he grew up, they almost took away his spot to join the army.

But no matter what, we all share the surname Xu. Upon suddenly receiving the devastating news, I felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on my heart.

Comrades who went to investigate said that Old Man Xu, Qian Xiaoni, and Xu Lei disappeared at the same time. The village once suspected that the daughter-in-law had an affair with the old man and the two eloped.

It wasn't until they found Old Xu's body that everyone realized something had happened.

"Old Xu had no wounds on his body. An examination revealed that he died of suffocation."

Because so much time had passed, the traces of Qian Xiaoni's crime had long since disappeared, and the police were unsure whether Old Xu had been murdered or had accidentally fallen into the well.

"What about the little stone?"

"After interviewing the residents, some people pointed out that they saw Qian Xiaoni taking Xu Lei to the county hospital for treatment on the day of the incident."

We spoke with the nurse on duty that day. She said the child had a high fever for several days, and she felt sorry for her, so she gave Qian Xiaoni two fever-reducing pills. After that, we didn't know anything.

What happened afterward was difficult to investigate. People came and went on the train, and there was no real-name system, making it almost impossible to find the passengers who traveled with the train that day.

The investigation team did not give up and went to several transfer points to ask staff if they had found any passengers with unusual behavior.
