The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 279 - 278: Take the Mother, Leave the Child

Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Take the Mother, Leave the Child

Her live streaming account, which hadn’t been used to broadcast for several months, had many new comments under the last photo update.

Wishing Peace to the World: [Thanks to the madam for letting us share her blessings, it enabled me to continue serving my country.]

Red Star Valley: [Even though I’ve never met the madam in person, my admiration for her flows endlessly like a mighty river. @EnjoyYourMeal]

Swimming Against the Current: [Madam, feel free to visit the First Legion more often, you’re always welcome. @EnjoyYourMeal]

Little Tyrant: [Ever since the madam improved our meals, my back doesn’t ache, my legs don’t hurt, and I feel more energetic during training.]

What? Her energy fruits and vegetables can cure back and leg pain too?

There were even more exaggerated ones:

Helping the Captain Date Online: [Aren’t you jealous? Not only do we have natural food, but we also have plenty of elixirs. @SecondLegion @ThirdLegion @FourthLegion @FifthLegion @SixthLegion]

Wishing the Captain Immortality: [Aren’t you jealous? Our grand marshal has such a wonderful wife. Even I am envious of him, damn!]

The Longevity of the Awkward Turtle Team Captain: [Even though we don’t have the madam’s cooking skills, the fruits and vegetables from her family’s farm taste great even when eaten raw.]

Qu Tong seriously suspected these three netizens were under Cheng Feng’s command.

Even their names were so outrageous!

There were also some bystanders commenting:

[With such good treatment, genuinely envious.]

[Train hard, aim high. After graduating next year, I’m choosing the First Legion.]

[The First Legion isn’t easy to get into, otherwise, with the reputation of His Excellency the God of War and the Skywolf Legion, it would have been overwhelmed with applicants long ago.]

Not to mention the cursing matches between the other legions.

The people from the First Legion were probably too idle, swaggering around and deliberately provoking wars, blatant provocations.

Then, people from other legions covertly tagged Si Yuting’s account, and others followed suit.

[Damn! You guys from the Sixth Legion can’t handle it!] The people from the First Legion exploded.

Although Si Yuting’s account had never posted any updates, he still kept an eye on the Star Network information.

Then the entire First Legion got a bonus wilderness training session.

After returning from the midnight training, they continued to boast.

[Did you think we would be scared by this? It only makes us stronger. I’m back again, face your doom, Ol’ Biddies!]

When Qu Tong had free time, she would go and read comments in the First Legion’s area for entertainment, which wasn’t a bad way to amuse herself.

However, after the stunts pulled by the First Legion, it didn’t take more than a couple of days before Qu Tong received messages that other legions also wanted to cooperate with her farm.

Because they didn’t have Qu Tong’s contact information, they submitted a request, which Gong Yun relayed to him.

However, Qu Tong tactfully refused; the farm wasn’t ready to expand that quickly, and they were already struggling to supply the First Legion.

Moreover, she couldn’t offer the same discounts to other legions as she did to the First Legion.

This reminded her that the farm needed to continue expanding and needed more hands on deck.

Qu Tong delegated this task to Xiang Bin and Ke Jun to handle.

However, not half a day after the message was sent, Ke Jun informed him that Tang Shigui said his brothers wanted to come over, and there were quite a few of them.

Qu Tong was somewhat conflicted; actually, he didn’t want to rely solely on Si Yuting’s people as that would be limiting.

So she didn’t take all of them, just about twenty or so.

This coincidentally aligned with the fact that Xu An’s teammate’s family members heard the news and also wanted to apply.

Qu Tong agreed.

But these people had to pass the assessments by Ke Jun and Xiang Bin first.

In addition, Qu Tong also thought that some stronger talents needed to be added to the vulnerable groups on Luyi Star.

But she wasn’t in a rush about this; she would wait for news from Old Man Yuan.

Hu Qing brought Qu Tong some secret news about Qu Wanwan.

Qu Tong thought it would be news that Qu Wanwan was planning to trouble her, but it turned out to be the news of her death.

When she heard the news, Qu Tong slightly parted her lips, somewhat surprised.

"And her child?"

"The child is alive, a baby boy, being cared for by the Lan Family," Hu Qing answered, elaborating on the complete message to Qu Tong.

After Qu Wanwan had returned that day, she had an argument with Lan Xingye, became agitated, and went into premature labor.

Normally, a child born at seven months wouldn’t be a problem with current medical standards.

The issue was that the pregnant woman had been in poor health during pregnancy, her emotional state extremely unstable, and had consumed too much medicinal elixir, leaving her body too weak to face the choice between saving the mother or the child.

Lan Xingye very much wanted the child and chose to save the child.

The arriving Qu Family disagreed, but Lan Xingye persuaded his family, securing an internship slot in the Fifth Legion for Qu Tianzhang and the promise to train him as a team leader.

Ultimately, Qu Jianwen agreed to save the child due to the influence of potential benefits.

Normally, the decision to save the mother or child should not be made by anyone other than the pregnant woman, but Qu Wanwan had fainted and the situation was critical.

In medical emergencies, the decision is hastened by the patient themselves or their spouse, adult children, parents, etc., normally the doctors would recommend saving the mother.

But the hospital they entered was funded by the Alchemist Association, a private hospital.

A life was traded for her own brother’s future.

Lee’s mother also cried symbolically for a while, then began preparing for her son’s entry into the military.

The child Wanwan had given birth to didn’t have as good a physique as expected, only an S.

This news was temporarily suppressed and not announced publicly.

"Lan Xingye is really low," Qu Tong sighed.

"Madam, rest assured, our Grand Marshal is definitely a trustworthy good man," Hu Qing replied with great confidence.

"Yes, yes!" Qu Tong chuckled lightly.

The key was that Si Yuting also had no chance to leave the child with the mother.

Qu Wanwan could only be said to have bad luck, fainting at such a time.

She had long said unreliable men are worthless, even risking her life, tsk.

Qu Tong didn’t feel much empathy regarding this; she just listened.

Si Yuting had already returned to Abel Star, and although Qu Tong had agreed to go to Abel Star, she didn’t plan to go as Qu Tong since it wouldn’t be convenient for her to fight.

Qu Tong used the days to prepare the elixirs she would need for the next month in advance.

Xiang Bin sent a message, Ke Jun had not returned to Luyi Star, and remained unreachable, possibly encountering Star Thieves.

Xiang Bin forwarded a message to Qu Tong.

There was new development in the pharmacist disappearance case; a video from the Black Spider Pirate Group, ranked second, capturing four or five pharmacists had surfaced.

Among them, one pharmacist was the son of a wealthy tycoon, who offered a reward of 5 million Star Coins on the Star Network to recruit mercenaries to quickly rescue his only son.

The military had already been dispatched, but the exact hideout of the Star Thieves had not yet been pinpointed.

Returning from Capital Star to Luyi Star would involve passing through an area with no signal, also a suspected hideout of the Star Thieves.

Qu Tong mentioned this to Si Yuting on her light brain, then piloted her spacecraft there.

Since she was using the identity of Jun Li, she didn’t bring Xuan Ping and the others.

When Qu Tong arrived, others had already beaten her to it.
