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

With a cold face, Tan Lin pushed Wen Wan forward, placing her in front of Li Caixia.

"What...what are you doing?" Although Li Caixia had already guessed what was going on, she pretended not to know anything.

"What are you doing? You know perfectly well what you and your good daughter have done. You've been trafficking people, so just wait to go to jail." At this point, Tan Lin had nothing more to say to her.

"Mom, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home with you." Wen Wan looked at Li Caixia with a look of disgust, then turned around and ran back to Tan Lin.

She tried to take Tan Lin's hand, but was pushed away.

"I'm not your mother, Li Caixia is your real mother. You two should reunite."

"Girl, is there some misunderstanding here? I have no idea about human trafficking. Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Li Caixia tried to argue, not believing that Tan Lin had already discovered it.

"We've already found Ono. What other misunderstandings do you think there are? Li Caixia, if I had known you were this kind of person, I shouldn't have bothered driving you to the hospital in the first place," Wenrou said coldly from the side.

She now regrets meddling in other people's business. If it weren't for Wenwen's sake, she wouldn't have risked her pregnancy to drive Li Caixia to the hospital.

"Gentle girl, I..." Li Caixia knew that what she was doing was indeed selfish, but she also had her reasons.

She was always very grateful; if it weren't for Wenrou, she and Wanwan probably wouldn't have survived.

"You don't need to say anything more. Go and talk to the police officers."

After Wenrou finished speaking, several people in police uniforms walked in through the door.

The other neighbors living in the courtyard heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on. When they saw Li Caixia being taken away, they started talking about it.

When Li Caixia was taken away, Wenwen also came out of the house.

She stood at the doorway, watching this scene without saying anything.

Although she knew this would be the outcome, she still did it.

She didn't want to see her mother be ungrateful, nor did she want to see her mother hurt the person who had saved her for her own selfish desires.

Although Wen Wan was involved in the matter, Li Caixia insisted that Wen Wan was young and had been seduced by her to do so.

After all, she was her own daughter, and Li Caixia wouldn't harm her.

But Wen Wan was different. She hated Li Caixia and despised her from the bottom of her heart for being poor and unable to provide a good life for herself.

Seeing Li Caixia being taken away, Tan Lin and Wenrou also turned around and went back.

Wen Wan, still unwilling to give up, chased after Tan Lin to the door, crying and shouting at her retreating figure, "Mom, I know I was wrong. Don't leave me. I don't want to stay here. I want to go home with you."

No matter how much she shouted, Tan Lin seemed not to hear her, and didn't even stop walking.

As Wen Wan watched Tan Lin's retreating figure, she knew that she could never go back this time.

She also resented Tan Lin for leaving her here.

"Sister Wenwen, can you help me? I want to go back." Wenwan finally placed her hopes on Wenwen.

Wenwen glanced at her and made her face reality, "From now on, this is your home. Your biological mother is named Li Caixia, your biological father is named Zhao Degui, and from now on you will be called Zhao Wan. Wen Jiahe will no longer have any connection with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wan was unable to accept the fact and sat on the ground crying.

Wenwen ignored her, turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing out all the dishes that Li Caixia had just prepared.

Zhao Wan looked at the food on the table with disgust. "Why is this what you eat? I want braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and chicken wings."

Tan Lin would ask Wen Jinian to cook these things for her every now and then.

Even without these, my family will still cook other delicious meals.

There were also the big prawns that Aunt Wenrou brought earlier, which she really enjoyed eating.

"Eat it or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat, then you'll be starving." Wenwen didn't indulge her and lowered her head to continue eating her food.

Today's meal was already very good for her. Her younger sister was able to live such a good life entirely because she had knelt down to Wenrou and Tanlin to ask them to adopt her.

Since she doesn't cherish it, she might not even be able to eat meat in the future, let alone those dishes.

Zhao Wan couldn't believe that Tan Lin had just abandoned her there. She didn't eat dinner that night, waiting for Tan Lin to come and take her back.

After waiting for three days, when she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore and was eating cornbread on the table, she regretted what she had done before.

For a long time afterward, she endured the hardship of falling from a life of luxury to one where she couldn't even afford a single meal of meat.

When she sees other children running around in the yard wearing beautiful clothes, she also thinks of her own wardrobe that used to be filled with new clothes.

If she hadn't sent Ono away, would she still be living like a princess in the Wen family?

No matter how much she regrets it, it's all irreversible.

After Li Caixia's family was arrested, they became even poorer and had almost no money left.

In the end, the old woman took all the blame herself and managed to clear her son Zhao Degui's name and get him released from the police station.

The family can only rely on Zhao Degui to support his three daughters now. He only earns eighty yuan a month, which is not enough to cover their expenses.

So he made Wenwen drop out of school to find a job. As for Zhao Wan, he didn't have the money to send her to kindergarten, so he left all the housework to her.

Since Xiao Ye was found, Tan Lin and Wen Jinian have poured all their love into him.

On several occasions, she saw Zhao Wan secretly standing at the entrance of the family compound.

She ignored him and pulled her son inside. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the envious look on Zhao Wan's face.

However, none of this concerned her anymore. Not long after, her whole family moved out of the residential compound and into their new house.

That place is closer to Xiaoye's future school and workplace.

Not long after, Tan Lin also bought a car, and the family would take Xiao Ye out to play whenever they had time, and occasionally they would also invite Wen Rou's family.

Zhao Wan only learned that Tan Lin's family had moved after she came to the family compound. The last time she saw Tan Lin was on New Year's Eve, when the family was sitting in their new car, looking happy.

At this moment, Zhao Wan deeply regretted her previous choice. Looking at her hands covered in chilblains from doing housework in the dead of winter, she shed tears of regret.

After a year of hard work, Yun Shu and Yun Yao were finally admitted to Bayi Middle School with their excellent grades.

Since Xiaoya started university and had more classes, she rarely comes to Wenrou's place anymore.

Later, she also learned that Jiang Yan had successfully passed the doctoral entrance exam, and that Yun Shu and Yun Yao had both entered high school.

She finally saw Jiang Yan again after she graduated from university.

At that time, Jiang Yan had already entered the National Academy of Sciences and was just as outstanding as his biological parents.

Seeing how outstanding Jiang Yan was, she knew that it was highly unlikely that she and he would ever be together.

She was recruited to teach at a middle school, and only after her job was relatively stable did she bring Wang's wife and Wu Li to Beijing.

It was their first time visiting Beijing, and Xiaoya took them to see many places.

Wenrou, on the other hand, fulfilled her duty as a host by inviting them to her home for a meal.

"Sister, if it weren't for you, Xiaoya wouldn't be as outstanding as she is now. I'm very grateful to you," Sister Wang said sincerely to Wenrou.

"Why are you saying that? Xiaoya is so outstanding because she is hardworking and filial. You can just enjoy the good life with her from now on," she said with a gentle smile.

Jiang Yan is about to graduate with his doctorate, and Yun Shu and Yun Yao will be taking the college entrance examination next year.

"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shu and Yao Yao have grown into beautiful young women." Sister Wang praised with a smile as she looked at the two daughters of Wenrou's family, each more beautiful than the last.

Wenrou nodded, "Yes, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it's been so many years since I came to Beijing."

At the dinner table, Xiao Ya kept her head down while eating, but she still glanced at Jiang Yan from time to time.

After finishing their meal, Sister Wang and the others were about to leave.

As she was leaving, Xiaoya finally mustered up her courage, took a gift out of her bag, and handed it to Jiang Yan.

Congratulations on graduating with your PhD.

Jiang Yan didn't accept it, but simply replied, "Thank you for your kind gesture, but I'll pass on the gift."

When Xiao Ya saw that Jiang Yan hadn't accepted the gift she'd given him, she already understood what was going on.

However, she still couldn't give up and asked, "Was there never any possibility between us from the very beginning?"

Jiang Yan looked up at her at this moment. He could vaguely sense Xiao Ya's feelings for him, but he had no feelings for her at all, and she was not his type.

To avoid giving her false hope, Jiang Yan simply hummed in agreement.

"I understand. I wish you a bright future, and that you find someone you love and live a happy life together."

Xiao Ya's eyes were slightly moist, but she managed to hold back her tears.

After saying that, she took the gift, turned around, and left.

Jiang Yan watched her retreating figure, recalling his earlier words, and softly asked, "Happiness? Is it really possible in this lifetime?"

He didn't know what happiness tasted like in his past life, and he hopes to taste it in this life, even if it's just a little bit.

"Brother Jiang Yan." Yun Yao's voice came from behind.

Jiang Yan turned around and saw Yun Yao staring at him.

Yun Yao has grown into a beautiful young woman. She is outstanding in both appearance and temperament, and many young boys in the military compound are fond of her.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always had many fans in her class, and now there are even more.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan asked, looking at her.

"Did you upset Sister Lijun? I just saw her eyes were red," Yun Yao asked seriously.

"no."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go home.

"Brother, I can tell that Sister Lijun has feelings for you. How can you hurt her like this? You're so old and still don't have a girlfriend. Are you planning to stay single for the rest of your life? My mom gave birth to me when she was your age."

Yun Yao originally wanted to persuade Jiang Yan, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Jiang Yan's face had turned as black as hell.

"Huo Yunyao, did you just say I'm old?" Jiang Yan asked helplessly.

He's only 23, the youngest PhD in the national research institute, and this girl actually thinks he's too old?

"Then you're six years older than me, too old." Yun Yao wasn't pressured at all.

"I think you're too idle. Do an extra test paper tonight, and you're not allowed to sleep until you finish it."

Jiang Yan snorted coldly, and when he saw Yun Yao's pale face, he couldn't help but smile.

Yun Yao stomped her foot in place. Who told her that her mother had now handed over the task of supervising their studies to Jiang Yan?

Many people in the research institute wanted to introduce him to potential partners, but he refused them all.

Wenrou didn't interfere in Jiang Yan's love life; they, as young people, should make their own decisions.

Whenever she has time, she and Huo Yanchuan drive around traveling.

They didn't care what Yun Shu and Yun Yao did on their exams, and they wouldn't put any pressure on the children.

However, Wenrou certainly believed in her daughter.

Now that Yun Yao wants to apply to a military academy, she doesn't stop her anymore.

After all, she knew her daughter's personality best; the more she tried to stop her, the more rebellious Yun Yao became.

While Yun Shu and Yun Yao were taking the college entrance exam, Wen Rou and Huo Yanchuan were soaking in a hot spring somewhere.

Wenrou recalled many things from her past life and looked at Huo Yanchuan, asking, "Huo Yanchuan, why didn't we meet in our past life?"

Huo Yanchuan turned to look at her, and after a long eye contact, he slowly said, "I've met you before."

"What?" Wenrou was taken aback.

In her past life, she hadn't even seen Huo Yanchuan's face when that incident happened, so how could she have met him?

"I said, we've met before," Huo Yanchuan continued.

"Before I was framed as a spy, I led a team to your village. It was you who showed us the way up the mountain."

Huo Yanchuan had originally forgotten about this matter, after all, it was the first time he had led a team on a mission since becoming the regimental commander.

Later, when he talked about this with Wen Jinian, he remembered and confirmed that the person was Wen Rou.

With Huo Yanchuan's reminder, Wenrou suddenly remembered, "Those people wearing camouflage uniforms with red, green, and black paint on their faces, aren't you?"

She only realized now that the person who asked her for directions was Huo Yanchuan. It turned out that they had met before, and their fate was formed at that time.

"Are we really not going back to be with our daughter during her college entrance exam?" Wenrou asked, still somewhat worried.

Huo Yanchuan reached out and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her. "My daughters have grown up and have their own goals. I believe they will definitely get into their ideal universities. Even if they don't, the money we've saved is enough for them to live on for several lifetimes. Now, spending time with you is the most important thing."

She nodded gently, smiling with satisfaction. "That's true."

At that moment, she suddenly realized that happiness had always been very close to her, whether in her past life or now, it was within reach.

The difference is that in this life, she chose the right person.
