Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

"salary?"

When Wenrou saw the envelope Huo Yanchuan handed her, she took it with a look of surprise and found that there was sixty yuan inside.

In other words, she will earn sixty yuan a month each time she drives a truck to transport water.

"Yes, I'll do it. You tell the political commissar I can start work anytime." She wasn't stupid; of course she wanted such a good job opportunity.

Driving a large truck was not difficult for her; it was much easier than any job she had done in her previous life.

When she first started driving a truck, everyone looked down on her because she was a woman. They were afraid she would hold them back, and no one wanted to drive with her.

So she had to travel alone. On the way, she was afraid of having her things stolen, and she didn't even dare to sleep soundly at night.

Even so, they still have to suffer from malicious harassment.

Each trip to pick up goods takes more than half a month, and the wages are only fifty yuan, which is pitifully little.

But at that time, she was full of enthusiasm.

Every time they received the money and went home, the Zhou family would try every means to act pitiful in front of her.

She gave away all the money because she was soft-hearted.

Compared to those jobs, this one is way too easy.

"Are you sure you can do it? You're pregnant, don't push yourself." Huo Yanchuan couldn't help but remind her when he saw how agitated she was.

"I'm fine. The baby is stable now, there won't be any problems."

Children are important, but a stable job is even more important.

She didn't want to rely on Huo Yanchuan forever. After she and Huo Yanchuan divorced, she would need money to support her two children.

Besides, driving a large truck is as habitual to her as eating and drinking.

There's nothing more gratifying than doing what you know well and making money at the same time.

Seeing that Wenrou had already made her decision, Huo Yanchuan had no choice but to agree for the time being.

"If you decide, we'll find you a reliable person in the army to go with you."

"No need to look anymore, that squad leader Ma from yesterday is pretty good. He even said he wants to learn to drive from me, and I can teach him too," Wenrou suggested.

"OK."

Huo Yanchuan didn't stay at home for long and hurriedly went back.

The water problem has been temporarily solved, but people are no longer willing to use water in the same way as before.

Each person uses only three liters of water per day, which is used for drinking, cooking, washing, and laundry. Everyone now strictly adheres to the rule of reusing water and dares not waste a single drop.

Wenrou also knew that the water here was hard-won; it would take a whole day to fetch a single load of water.

Besides, the water in the county reservoir is running low, and they're currently hauling water to nearby villages. Next time, they'll have to go to even farther places.

Even so, some people still waste it.

The water that each household received at noon was not enough for Shen Qingshuang by the afternoon.

She took a bucket to fetch water, but was refused.

So she got into an argument with someone, and only after asking around did she find out that she had used all the water to bathe.

"Isn't this water transported here for people to use? Why can't I use it?" Shen Qingshuang stood with her hands on her hips and pointed at the soldiers guarding the area, shouting and cursing with a straight face.

"Military regulations stipulate that everyone has a daily water quota. If you use it all up today, you can come back for more tomorrow." Soldiers often find it troublesome to deal with people like Shen Qingshuang, but they still patiently explained to her.

"Why restrict water use when you can just ask someone else to fetch it when you run out?" This rich young lady had no idea about the hardships of people living here and thought fetching water was easy.

Wenrou didn't know how Shen Qingshuang had grown up, but since she had brought the water herself, she couldn't bear to see anyone waste it.

"You think you can just pull water whenever you want? If you're so capable, go pull it yourself."

Shen Qingshuang looked at Wenrou, her expression immediately turning cold. "What business is it of yours?"

"I brought this water back myself, what business is it of mine? If you want to use it, you should at least ask the other residents in the compound, right?"

As soon as Wenrou finished speaking, she saw Wang Yanping arrive with her entourage.

When they heard that Shen Qingshuang wanted to fetch water, they naturally disagreed.

This water belongs to everyone and is limited. If Shen Qingshuang uses more, they will have to use less.

Her actions, which harm the collective interest, will undoubtedly arouse public outrage.

Seeing so many people targeting her, Shen Qingshuang ran home crying in anger.

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Wenrou went home.

Sister-in-law Wang is a fast stylist; she finished making her new cotton-padded jacket in less than a week.

She used the leftover fabric and cotton to make a new dress for her daughter, and the little girl was overjoyed to wear it.

However, when Aunt Zhu found out about this, she assumed that Sister Wang had stolen the money to buy the cloth and cotton, and she grabbed her and Xiao Ya and beat them.

"Did you steal my money to buy all this fabric and cotton? What's the point of dressing up such a worthless girl so nicely?"

Sister-in-law Wang held the little girl in her arms and kept explaining, "Mom, it's not what you think. This new cotton-padded coat was made by Commander Huo's wife. Give the coat back to me, I still need to take it to her."

She promised Wenrou, so she had to keep her word.

Now that the clothes are in Aunt Zhu's hands, she'll get them back no matter what.

She can accept being beaten, but she shouldn't have gotten her clothes dirty.

"Commander Huo's lover? Who are you trying to fool? That slut who flirts with all sorts of men doesn't deserve to wear such nice clothes! You must have stolen my money to buy them. Now that the clothes are finished, I think they'll fit me perfectly." Aunt Zhu touched the fabric of the new cotton-padded jacket, clearly delighted.

"Mom, this won't do. These are other people's clothes. You can't wear them." Upon seeing this, Sister Wang immediately stepped forward and tried to pull the clothes off.

The gentle girl had helped her so much, she absolutely refused to let her mother-in-law take the clothes.

"Let go of me, you bitch!" Aunt Zhu said angrily, slapping Sister Wang across the face.

Seeing that she still wouldn't let go, he reached out and pulled her hair.

When Xiao Ya saw that her mother was being bullied, she rushed to find Wenrou.

When Wenrou heard what had happened to Sister-in-law Wang, she hurriedly ran over with Xiaoya.

When she arrived at Sister Wang's house, she saw that Sister Wang's face and body were covered in bruises from being beaten, yet she was still clinging tightly to her new clothes.

"You filthy hussy, let go of me!" Aunt Zhu was still hitting Sister Wang with a broom, cursing as she did so.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Wenrou couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in, snatching the broom from Aunt Zhu's hand and throwing her away with all her might.

"You old hag, why are you hitting people?" Wenrou felt really sorry for Wang's sister-in-law when she saw her like this.

Especially seeing her being beaten for a piece of clothing without fighting back, my anger was instantly aroused.
