4: Stealing milk powder

Although he had two children, they had been weaned many years ago, and his wife couldn't produce breast milk anymore.

"Got it."

Su Lei suddenly remembered that there seemed to be several cans of milk powder in the utility room, and one of them appeared to be unopened.

There shouldn't be much difference between breast milk and milk powder, right?

Thinking this,

Su Lei quickened his steps home.

Back home,

Su Lei headed straight for the utility room.

After searching, he finally found an unopened can of milk powder in the cabinet.

To be safe, he specifically checked the expiration date of the milk powder.

"It hasn't expired yet."

A hint of joy flashed in Su Lei's eyes.

In the Martial Artist world, milk powder has a very long shelf life.

Some Advanced milk powders, with formulas that can stimulate a baby's Qi and blood, have a shelf life of up to ten years.

The unopened milk powder in Su Lei's hand was an Advanced milk powder with a shelf life of ten years, purchased at a high price through special channels by Qiaoqiao's uncle in the year his daughter was born.

Since the baby bottles at home had long been thrown away, Su Lei chose the simplest and most direct method.

No need to dilute with water.

Open the lid and eat!

He scooped a spoonful of milk powder into his mouth.

However, before Su Lei even had time to chew, the milk powder melted in his mouth and flowed into his stomach.

Immediately, he felt a warmth spread throughout his body, and his Qi and blood showed faint signs of churning.

It really was Advanced milk powder.

[Satiety +20.]

The familiar light blue text appeared before his eyes.

Su Lei was greatly encouraged and quickly scooped two large spoonfuls of milk powder into his mouth.

[Task completed.]

[Host has filled his stomach, obtained Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine *1.]

As soon as the System finished speaking,

Su Lei found a pill the size of a bean in his hand.

The pill emitted a strange medicinal fragrance. After sniffing it, Su Lei felt completely refreshed and invigorated.

"If just smelling it has this effect, wouldn't taking it make me soar to the heavens?"

A bright glint flashed in Su Lei's eyes.

Just as he was about to take the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine.

He suddenly felt as if there were eyes staring at him from behind.

He turned his head.

And saw Li Xue Ning standing at the doorway.

She was wearing a purple nightgown, a thin layer of purple gauze, subtly revealing her alluring figure underneath.

Although she was a mother of two, her figure had not changed, but had become even more graceful, adding a unique charm of a young married woman to her.

However, Su Lei was not in the mood to appreciate Li Xue Ning's figure at this moment.

Because... Li Xue Ning's eyes were red.

"What's wrong?"

Su Lei looked at Li Xue Ning in confusion.

Tears welled up in her eyes, Li Xue Ning pursed her lips without speaking, and directly threw herself into Su Lei's arms, sobbing softly.

Watching his wife cry in his arms, Su Lei was a bit bewildered.

"You've sacrificed so much for this family, and I've never been able to help much, I..."

Before she could finish, Li Xue Ning's emotions collapsed, and tears gushed out like a flood. Like a child, she cried loudly in Su Lei's arms.

Su Lei's heart sank.

He secretly wondered if his wife had encountered something troublesome.

At this moment, Li Xue Ning slowly raised her head. She looked at Su Lei with a pitiful expression, her fair hands cupping Su Lei's mature face.

"Husband, I'll support the family from now on. You rest well and focus on recovering. No matter how difficult life gets, the children and I will not give up on you, because we are a family."

The more Su Lei listened, the more he felt something was off.

He understood every word his wife said, but put together, he completely failed to grasp their meaning.

"What are you talking about?" Su Lei asked, full of confusion.

"It's come to this, and you're still trying to hide it from me?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Xue Ning's eyes: "How many loans did you take out to support this family? Do you really think I didn't know?"

Hearing this, Su Lei was stunned.

It turned out that Li Xue Ning had known about Su Lei's loans for a long time. To protect Su Lei's dignity as the head of the family and to prevent him from being overly stressed, she had always pretended not to know.

But Su Lei's recent behavior had been too abnormal, and she was very worried that he might suffer an emotional breakdown due to excessive pressure.

Several times she wanted to talk to him, but she never found a suitable opportunity.

Just now,

She heard movement from the utility room and became curious.

Walking to the door, she saw Su Lei eating large mouthfuls of milk powder.

She had heard that people under too much stress could suffer from mental confusion and do things that normal people couldn't understand. Li Xue Ning could no longer suppress her emotions and threw herself into Su Lei's arms, crying bitterly.

Learning the whole story from his wife, Su Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently flicked Li Xue Ning's delicate nose.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Li Xue Ning pouted her rosy lips in annoyance: "You're still trying to be strong!"

"I'm really not trying to be strong."

Su Lei explained the recent revival of his Qi and blood, of course, deliberately omitting the part about being chosen by the System.

"Your Qi and blood have revived?"

Li Xue Ning, who had just been crying, showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Of course!" Su Lei nodded solemnly.

Seeing Su Lei's serious demeanor, Li Xue Ning's surprise turned into joy. If this were true, Su Lei's cultivation could still advance.

As his wife, how could she not be happy for her husband?

At the same time, she also understood that her husband's recent unusual behavior, secretly eating milk powder, must be related to the revival of his Qi and blood.

Thinking this, she gently wiped the milk powder from the corner of Su Lei's mouth and said coquettishly:

"How old are you, still secretly eating milk powder."

"...!"

Su Lei looked embarrassed, his gaze inadvertently falling on his wife's alluring bosom. He chuckled: "I'd like to eat pure human-made, but you don't have any."

Following his gaze, Li Xue Ning looked down, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

"You rascal."

Li Xue Ning playfully punched Su Lei's firm chest with her fist.

Su Lei not only didn't get angry, but laughed heartily. One could tell if a woman was virtuous when the family faced a crisis.

He was very lucky; Li Xue Ning did not leave when the family faced financial crisis, but stayed by his side.

Watching his wife act coy in his arms, Su Lei grabbed her tender little hand and whispered softly: "The children aren't home, let's hurry and have a third child, shall we?"

He now possessed the Sonic Oscillation Method, his Qi and blood had revived, and he had just obtained a Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine.

Given time,

He would definitely reach the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

By then, let alone raising three children, even ten would not be difficult.

"A third child? Two children have already worn you out like this, can you handle another one?" Li Xue Ning complained verbally, but her eyes were brimming with affection, clearly moved.

Knowing that she didn't mean what she said, Su Lei didn't expose her. At this moment, actions spoke louder than words.

He gently pinched Li Xue Ning's chin.

Li Xue Ning knew what Su Lei wanted to do. Her pretty face was as red as a ripe peach, luscious and enticing. Her eyes slightly closed, she looked like she was ready to be plucked.

Su Lei was about to lean in to kiss her and have a deep conversation with his wife.

Ding-dong—!

At this moment, the urgent doorbell rang.

"Who is so insensitive as to interrupt my good time at a moment like this?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Su Lei's face.
