The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 147 - 146: Unable to Return Home, Stuck

Wang Lianfa thought for a moment and said, "I’ll make a trip to my wife’s family and ask my brother-in-law to send the money over."

Wang Liansheng nodded. It’s best if the second brother is willing to listen. At this critical moment, he really can’t take any risks.

After asking when his second brother was leaving, Wang Liansheng took some time at noon to deliver the salted meat and fish prepared by Ling Chengyan.

Harvesting wheat is hard physical work, and with the hot weather and excessive sweating, you need to eat something salty to replenish the sodium.

After the second brother left, Ling Chengyan went over to stay with her second sister-in-law for a night, but his second brother had already biked back at dawn.

Ling Chengyan was surprised. He had left yesterday at dusk and returned early in the morning; did he not sleep at all?

Over a hundred miles, biking back and forth overnight, his second brother was exhausted. He sat down and drank a bowl of water, finally catching his breath.

Seeing his face, his second sister-in-law’s heart clenched, and she asked with a trembling voice, "Is something wrong at home?"

"Nothing happened at home." Wang Lianfa first reassured his wife with this sentence, then said, "Thanks to Liansheng’s reminder, I didn’t go home directly, there are people watching our house."

Ling Chengyan and Zheng Xiaotian were both silent.

This was really blocking them from going back to harvest.

Zheng Xiaotian’s face turned a bit pale, and she supported herself on the table and asked, "Then you..."

Wang Lianfa said, "Don’t worry, I had his second uncle go, delivered the money and supplies, I didn’t show up, and I was careful to check behind me when I left, no one followed."

Only after this did Zheng Xiaotian let out a breath, slowly sitting back down with reddened eyes, "This really is..."

Ling Chengyan patted her shoulder and said, "Don’t overthink it, just focus on resting well. When you have the time, go to the hospital for a check-up... Oh, by the way, the wife of Comrade Xing is the head of obstetrics and gynecology, I’ve spoken to her, when you go, just find her. By asking her in advance, we can rely on her during delivery, it’s better to be prepared ahead of time."

Ling Chengyan wasn’t very familiar with modern hospitals, but in his previous life, the Ling family and other noble families had their own physicians, and large families had their own midwives. Pregnant women would regularly seek safety checks and have the midwives check the fetus’ position and size, among other things.

After asking Mrs. Comrade Xing, he learned that hospitals now offer these checks, early and mid-pregnancy for prenatal check-ups, and the term period for delivery examinations. Conducting regular prenatal and maternity check-ups can better ensure the health and smooth delivery of the fetus.

Wang Lianfa and Zheng Xiaotian had given birth to two sons before, the eldest at home, and the second son was a bit larger when born, so they went to the town health clinic. The couple really didn’t know pregnant women needed prenatal examinations.

After sending off Ling Chengyan, Wang Lianfa said, "We’ll go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning."

Zheng Xiaotian had been avoiding going out, afraid of causing trouble and not wanting to spend money. So she said, "Aren’t I doing fine, why go to the hospital."

Wang Lianfa nudged his wife and whispered, "Our sister-in-law asked someone on our behalf, we can’t just rely on her to do us a favor without reciprocating. It’s good to get to know in advance, so it’s easier to communicate when it’s time for delivery."

Zheng Xiaotian looked at her husband and eventually nodded hesitantly.

Ling Chengyan’s arm had fully recovered, and she had already begun taking long-haul trips out of the province.

Returning from her second brother’s place, she took on a new task to make a trip to the Eastern Province. The round trip would take about ten days.

Ling Chengyan was used to long-haul trips, while Wang Liansheng took care of the family, and the kids were in school, so she wasn’t too worried. Having taken on the task, she just prepared some clothes for change.

However, this time, she reminded Wang Liansheng specially in the evening to pay extra attention to the second cousin’s side. With Mrs. Comrade Xing saying that delivery could occur anytime after eight and a half months, the second cousin and sister-in-law being far from home, in case she went into labor, having more people around could be helpful.

Wang Liansheng poured boiling water into the military canteen and smiled, "Don’t worry, from tomorrow on, I’ll go over every night to keep an eye on things. You need to get up early tomorrow, so sleep early."

Ling Chengyan nodded. After over a year of cohabitation, she went from initially being wary and on guard with Wang Liansheng to slowly letting her guard down, and unknowingly, she had come to trust this man.

This man was very diligent and hardworking in his job, responsible and patient with the family and children. Since he had returned, she indeed had to worry much less about the house and the kids, practically leaving it all to Wang Liansheng.

Early the next morning, before the kids were awake, Ling Chengyan started her trip.

This time, she brought along Wu Qingyun.

In a blink of an eye, it had been two years since Wu Qingyun and a few others enlisted, becoming real veterans, and his driving skills had matured considerably.

When they got in the car, Wu Qingyun told Ling Chengyan to rest while he drove. It wasn’t until they stopped for lunch that Ling Chengyan took over the wheel, substituting Wu Qingyun.

Starting in June, summer arrives, and with more rain. Soon after taking the wheel, rain began to fall.

With visibility blurred, the driving speed naturally slowed down.

"Looks like we can’t make it to Lincheng tonight."

Wu Qingyun looked at the map and said, "It’s okay if we don’t. We can rest at Taotown. There’s a guesthouse in Taotown."

Ling Chengyan nodded, "If we can’t, then we’ll have to stop at Taotown."

With rain, it got dark early. On usual June days, it’s still bright at seven in the evening, but with today’s rain, it was dim by the early afternoon at around four.

On top of that, they encountered a bridge repair, forcing the vehicle off the highway to detour through a village, where there was a brick bridge.

The bridge had been under repair for half a month, and during this period, traffic detoured through the village. The already unstable dirt road was worn, with many deep pits, and with rain, it became muddy and slippery. Not long after turning onto the dirt road, Ling Chengyan’s vehicle got stuck.

The vehicle in front accidentally drove into a mud pit and got trapped.

Ling Chengyan slowly stopped the car, seeing through dim light and the rain that the driver of the vehicle ahead was holding a shovel, digging the mud pit under the wheels. It seemed they were trying to make the slope smoother for the wheels to climb up.

Unfortunately, being in a hilly area, soil depth was limited, and with the sticky red soil, it wasn’t easy to dig, and this method wasn’t particularly effective.

Even wearing a raincoat, the driver was soaked through, but the car remained stuck.

Ling Chengyan was about to get out when Wu Qingyun stopped her, "Sister Yan, you wait here, let me go this time."

Ling Chengyan smiled, seeing the helplessness on Wu Qingyun’s face, and nodded.

Wu Qingyun put on a military raincoat and got out, changing into galoshes.

He ran over to assess the situation, then went to find some villagers. Not long after, he came back with two bundles of straw.

He placed the straw in front of the trapped tires, and with four or five strong young villagers helping to push the car, they finally managed to get the vehicle out of the mud pit in one go.

The driver thanked Wu Qingyun and the villagers repeatedly. With a wave, Wu Qingyun returned to his car and said, "Alright, let’s go."
