Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 261 Wanting a Son
Since Huo Yanchuan stopped going to work, he has been enjoying some peace and quiet.
I spend my days with Wenrou and the children, cooking and doing housework; there's nothing else to do.
Although the family planning commission came every day to gently terminate the pregnancy, she still insisted on giving birth to the child.
She paid all the fines and such, and because of her second child, she couldn't enjoy those free medical policies, but none of that mattered.
She has money, and she can pay for everything herself, whether it's hospital checkups or anything else.
After Jiang Yan learned that Wenrou was pregnant, he would go home to visit her every week when he had time off.
After Wenrou became pregnant, the most anxious person was not Huo Yanchuan, but Tan Lin.
She would come over whenever she had time, and each time she would bring Wenrou a lot of tonics, as if the child in Wenrou's belly was her own.
"You're pregnant now, you can't drive anymore, what if something happens?" Tan Lin earnestly advised.
Although the transportation team is now managed by Wen Jinian, Wenrou, as the boss, still needs to be involved in some important matters.
She's newly pregnant and not very heavy yet, so driving isn't a problem for her.
But her family was still worried and just wanted her to stay home and rest during her pregnancy, and not do anything else.
"Wherever you want to go in the future, I'll drive you there," Huo Yanchuan said from the side.
She smiled gently and nodded, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Since moving here, the two children have visibly become much happier.
Back in the military compound, very few people played with them.
When those parents met, they inevitably compared military ranks.
The families of those in higher positions generally look down on associating with such people, while those in lower positions like to form small cliques.
Wenrou doesn't interact with them much usually, but she knows that they often talk about her behind her back.
In addition, the military compound is very strictly managed, and there is always a sense of oppression living there.
After moving out, the two children clearly made more friends.
They were already good-looking and had great personalities. They also liked to share snacks and toys with the neighborhood kids, so everyone naturally wanted to play with them.
"Mom, do you think my hair looks good after I just braided it? I love it here so much, let's live here from now on!"
While Wenrou was lying in the courtyard reading a book, Yunyao ran in happily.
The children are on winter vacation now. It snowed yesterday, and there's a layer of snow outside. The two children ran out to play in the snow early this morning.
Seeing Yun Yao's face red from the cold and her newly braided hair, she smiled gently and nodded, "It looks good, but you should still wear your hat, or you'll catch a cold."
She spoke gently as she put the hat on her little girl.
Soon, Yun Shu walked in with a little girl.
"Mom, can I come to our house to play with Sister Wenwen?" Yun Shu asked gently for permission.
She nodded gently. "Of course."
She recognized the little girl; she was the neighbor's child.
The family living next door to her was a blended family. Wenwen was the mother's child and was not well received at home. Not only did she have to do housework every day, but she was also bullied.
Her mother worked in a cotton mill, leaving early and returning late every day, and all the money she earned went to support the family.
As soon as she leaves, that old woman will find ways to bully her, and she will also allow her granddaughter to bully her.
Wenwen's mother, like Wenrou, was also newly pregnant. Wenrou met her when they first moved here.
Since they were both pregnant, Wenwen's mother would always greet Wenrou whenever they met.
After she became pregnant, her family was fined a lot of money, mainly because the old woman and her husband both wanted a boy.
Because of this incident, the old woman felt that Wenwen was even more superfluous.
However, she would restrain herself in front of Wenwen's mother.
But as soon as she left, she would beat and scold Wenwen, and Wenrou was caught doing so several times.
"Auntie," Wenwen said politely when she saw Wenrou.
She smiled gently at them and said, "Go and have fun."
She actually quite liked Wenwen, this little girl. She was two years older than Yun Shu and Yun Yao, but she looked very mature and had a stubborn and fierce streak in her bones.
The old woman's granddaughter was older than them. Once, she took a liking to the snacks in Yun Yao's hand and tried to snatch them. Yun Yao stepped on her foot, and the two of them ended up fighting.
If Wenwen hadn't helped Yunyao, who knows how badly she would have been bullied?
From then on, the relationship between the two daughters and Wenwen became better and better.
After they entered the house, Yunyao secretly told Wenrou, "Mom, Wenwen is so pitiful. Her mother bought meat, but her grandma secretly hid it and won't let her eat a single bite."
Wenwen didn't tell her about this; she saw it with her own eyes.
"Really?" Wenrou was taken aback when she heard that.
"I'd like to invite Sister Wenwen to have dinner at our house, okay?" Yun Yao continued.
"Of course, we have some meat and ribs in our fridge. I'll make you braised pork and sweet and sour ribs later." Since they were her daughter's friends, she was naturally gentle and generous.
She's just starting to show her belly, but she can still cook a meal without any problem.
Although Huo Yanchuan was always worried that she would get tired, he wouldn't let her do anything.
But Wenrou sometimes gets the urge to cook.
Huo Yanchuan had just gone out, so Wenrou stood up and went to the kitchen.
The houses here are all a bit small, some are courtyard houses, and several families live together.
However, the courtyard house where Wenrou lives is only occupied by her family; the other houses are still empty.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with a rich and tempting aroma of meat.
Wenrou cooks quickly, and by the time Huo Yanchuan returned, she had already finished cooking.
"Didn't I tell you not to cook? Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it." Huo Yanchuan walked over and helped Wenrou sit down.
"If I don't move around soon, my limbs will probably atrophy. Besides, cooking isn't tiring, and I enjoy it."
With a gentle smile, she called out into the house, "Children, dinner's ready."
Although Jiang Yan is on winter break, he has been interning at the research institute for the past few days and has not yet returned.
Hearing the gentle voice, Yun Shu and Yun Yao led Wenwen out of the house.
"Mom, look, Sister Wenwen is so skillful! She sewed my doll back to order." Yun Shu held up a doll and showed it to Wenrou with a happy expression.
That rag doll was her favorite, and she would keep it next to her pillow when she slept.
The stitches came undone a while ago, and since my mother isn't very good at needlework, she had to leave it for the time being.
When Sister Wenwen came over today, she saw her doll, quickly sewed it up with needle and thread, and even embroidered a flower on it. She liked it even more than before.
"Yes, Wenwen is so skillful, her sewing is so beautiful," Wenrou praised.
Wenwen blushed at the praise and said shyly, "I just sewed it casually."
Yun Yao was also showing off her new hairstyle, saying, "My braids were also braided by Sister Wenwen. She's so skillful."
"Yes, your sister Wenwen is not only skillful, but also has good grades. You should all learn from her."
Both of them nodded after hearing this.
"Auntie, Yunshu, Yunyao, I'm going back now." Wenwen didn't stay for dinner.
In those days, no family was well-off. Her mother had told her before that if she saw other people eating, she should hurry back home.
Even if someone invites you to dinner out of politeness, you shouldn't accept their invitation; this is basic courtesy.
Although Wenwen also craved meat, the aroma of the food that Wenrou cooked was something she had never smelled at home before.
It smells so good, if you actually ate it, you'd probably faint from the aroma.
"Sister Wenwen, you can eat at my house."
"Yes, Sister Wenwen, your family doesn't have any meat. Why don't you eat at our house? My mom made a lot of dishes, enough for us."
Yun Shu and Yun Yao clearly liked Wenwen very much; each of them grabbed one of her arms, trying to get her to stay.
Wenrou looked at Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, why don't you stay and eat? The meat that Auntie has stored will spoil if we don't finish it."
Wenwen was so surprised by Wenrou's gentle words that she opened her mouth wide in surprise.
She simply couldn't imagine how anyone could let meat spoil in their home.
Their family never has enough meat to eat every time they buy it, so how could it possibly spoil?
"Don't worry, I'll tell your mom that I invited you to my house for dinner," Wenrou said, reassuring Wenwen because she knew she was afraid of being scolded.
Her words did indeed ease Wenwen's worries. Seeing how enthusiastic Yun Shu and Yun Yao were, she had no choice but to agree.
"Thanks."
Even after Wenwen sat down, she was still a little reserved. She gently put a lot of meat in his bowl, and only then did she start eating it in small bites.
It smelled so good, it was the most delicious and fragrant meal she had ever eaten.
Wenrou's cooking skills were indeed superb, and both Yunshu and Yunyao ate with gusto.
After the meal, Wenwen thanked Wenrou's family and then hurried home.
When she got back, the old woman and her granddaughter had just finished eating, leaving nothing for Wenwen.
Fortunately, Wenwen had already eaten at Wenrou's house, otherwise she would have gone hungry.
Of course, Wenwen wasn't just eating and drinking for free. With Jiang Yan away, the task of tutoring Yun Shu and Yun Yao fell to her.
Wenrou was quite shocked to see how obedient her two daughters were to Wenwen.
However, since the holiday has just started, she is worried that her two children will run around.
She's pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for her to keep chasing after the two of them.
With Wenwen around, she can also help keep an eye on them.
Wenwen is also very sensible; she will come to help her whenever she has the chance.
Wenrou's pregnancy this time is completely different from when she was pregnant with Yun Shu and Yun Yao.
Although she had morning sickness before, it wasn't severe, and she could eat and sleep well without any impact on her appetite.
However, this time during my pregnancy, I experienced severe morning sickness and couldn't eat anything.
Because of morning sickness, Wenrou not only didn't gain weight, but actually lost weight.
Huo Yanchuan felt heartbroken seeing this. He tried various methods to help Wenrou relieve her morning sickness, but none of them worked.
"I'm fine, this is normal during pregnancy, don't worry," Wenrou said, comforting the others who were looking at them with concern.
"How could I not worry? Look how much weight you've lost. I bought you so many supplements, but you can't eat any of them. What am I going to do?" Tan Lin was even more anxious than Wen Rou.
"Yes, we should go see a doctor again. No matter what, we still need to eat," Wen Jinian said.
"Mom." Yun Shu and Yun Yao were quite frightened by Wenrou's morning sickness and reached out to hug her.
When Jiang Yan came back last time, he saw that Wenrou had lost a lot of weight and was also looking for various ways to relieve morning sickness.
That night, as Wenrou lay in bed, Huo Yanchuan reached out and touched her stomach, saying with some reluctance, "How about we go to the hospital and have an abortion?"
He hadn't expected this pregnancy to be so difficult. If he had known, he wouldn't have insisted on keeping the child.
She gently slapped his arm. "What are you saying? Pregnancy is never easy. This is our child, how can you just abort it like that?"
Besides, they've already paid so many fines during this time; if they get rid of it, then all that effort will have been for nothing.
She didn't want the child before, but now that it's here, she wants to keep it more than anyone else.
"It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I feel sorry for you," Huo Yanchuan said gently.
Wenrou knew this too, and she reached out and held Huo Yanchuan's hand. "We persevered through such difficult times before. Now that things are better, we're being a bit sentimental. You have to believe that our child will definitely be born safe and healthy."
When she was pregnant, conditions weren't this good; they were still living in the Gobi Desert.
Hearing Wenrou say this, Huo Yanchuan had no choice but to give up trying to persuade her.
Wenrou still experiences morning sickness every day, and it's getting worse; she's even started vomiting bile.
Finally, having no other option, Huo Yanchuan took her to the hospital to see if the doctor could come up with a solution.
Wenrou couldn't eat anything and had to be given IV fluids and nutrition at the hospital.
The two children are much more sensible now. In order not to worry Wenrou, they don't go out to play after school. Instead, they go home and do their homework and review their lessons with Wenwen.
Wen Shuzhen stayed at home to take care of the two children, while Huo Yanchuan took care of Wenrou at the hospital.
She was discharged from the hospital after a week. Although she still had some morning sickness, it had lessened.
After the Lunar New Year, as she entered the second trimester, Wenrou's morning sickness symptoms lessened considerably, and now she can finally eat what she wants.
"Huo Yanchuan, do you hope this baby is a son or a daughter?" Wenrou's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she looked forward to her due date every day. However, she still wanted both a son and a daughter, so she had always wanted a son.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yanchuan replied without even looking up, "Daughter."
He prefers daughters to sons, and although he already has two daughters, he still wants to have another one.
