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

Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou hadn't been eating well these past few days, so he thought he should give her some extra nutrition.

"Shall we have minced meat noodles for lunch?" Wenrou had been craving this for a long time.

There was still some flour left at home, so I stir-fried some minced meat, poured on some chili oil soup, added some chives and egg slices, and the taste was incredibly delicious.

"Anything is fine." Huo Yanchuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Wenrou's eyes light up at the mention of food, and then nodded.

Seeing this, Wenrou took the meat into the kitchen.

Zhou Chunmei witnessed this scene, and just hearing Wenrou say the words "shaozi noodles" made her mouth water.

Back when she was at home, she always cooked gently; she never even stepped into the kitchen.

Now that we're here, we not only have to cook, but also do laundry.

Not only that, they couldn't even get meat to eat.

All the good food in the house was given to Shen Qingshuang, leaving the three of them to eat only corn porridge.

She knew Wenrou's cooking skills; just thinking about the food she made made her mouth water.

Wenrou didn't notice Zhou Chunmei; she happily carried the meat into the kitchen.

First, knead the dough, then prepare the side dishes and stir-fry the minced meat.

She was busy in the kitchen when Huo Yanchuan entered the house and found that Wenrou had washed all his clothes.

He washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

Wenrou was busy when she turned around and saw Huo Yanchuan standing behind her at some point.

She was originally quite tall, but compared to Huo Yanchuan's 1.9-meter height, she appeared much shorter.

The kitchen was originally quite spacious, but it felt a bit cramped after he came in.

"What do you need me to do?" Huo Yanchuan wasn't particularly skilled or gentle in cooking, but he could still help her out.

"No need, you can go outside and wait."

His presence here is also affecting my performance.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huo Yanchuan looking down at her, his cold and deep eyes filled with a subtle struggle and complexity.

Wenrou was taken aback; it was that same look in her eyes again.

"Are you alright? Is there something on my face?"

Why is this man looking at her like that? Does he have some doubts about her identity?

"It's nothing, you go ahead with your work. Call me if you need anything." Huo Yanchuan withdrew his gaze, turned around, and hurriedly left the kitchen.

I don't know why, but ever since I found out that Wenrou was the person from that night, I feel ashamed of losing my dignity as a man in front of her.

Seeing Huo Yanchuan's bewildered expression, Wenrou didn't say anything more and turned to continue cooking.

She was quick, and soon the aroma of minced meat wafted from the kitchen, filling the entire courtyard with its delicious scent, which made everyone else very hungry.

Wenrou has just finished rolling out the dough and prepared the side dishes.

After the noodles were cooked, she also prepared the soup. She and Huo Yanchuan each had a large bowl of noodles, topped with a layer of chili oil. The aroma was so enticing that it made one's mouth water.

Seeing that she only ate one bowl of noodles, Huo Yanchuan knew that this bowl of noodles was definitely not enough for her, so he reached out and took the enamel basin next to him and handed it to her.

"You should eat this."

Wenrou was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and took it without any hesitation.

Anyway, Huo Yanchuan knew her appetite, so he poured the bowl of noodles into the basin, scooped out the remaining noodles from the pot, and then brought out a large basin full of noodles.

Only then did she think of Huo Yanchuan, and asked, "Is this bowl enough for you?"

"That's enough, I've already eaten at the army base."

He had already eaten, but the smell of Wenrou's cooking still made him want to eat a little more.

She nodded gently, said nothing, and immediately started eating.

Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Huo Yanchuan also started eating heartily.

He grew up in the south and used to eat slowly and deliberately. Since coming here, influenced by the local environment, his eating habits have changed a lot.

Besides, meals in the army can't be slow. Every time a meal is served, everyone rushes to get their food, afraid of not getting enough.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Wenrou was startled, then stood up and walked towards the door. When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Chunmei standing outside.

She hadn't expected Zhou Chunmei to come looking for her at this time. Did she think she hadn't beaten her enough last time?

Zhou Chunmei still has scars on her face from when she fell to the ground last time, but none of that matters to her now.

If she wants to be with Hao Gang, she needs to get along well with Wenrou.

Besides, now that her older brother is on Shen Qingshuang's side, if she doesn't come up with a solution, she'll only be able to eat corn porridge every day.

Most importantly, she knows that if she is gentle and soft-hearted, and says a few nice words, she will still treat her the same as before.

She's learned everything over the past few days: the man Wenrou married is infertile, and their marriage is just a compromise.

She used to like her older brother so much, I don't believe she can forget him so quickly.

"Sister Xiaorou, I was wrong about what happened last time. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and I still feel I have to apologize to you," Zhou Chunmei said, her face filled with guilt as she held Wenrou's hand.

Although she said this, her eyes kept glancing at the dining table in the living room.

When she saw Wenrou eating such a large bowl of noodles, her eyes widened in surprise. This was too extravagant. She wished she could have a bowl of it.

When Wenrou heard Zhou Chunmei apologize to her, she was completely surprised. It was like the sun had risen in the west.

However, seeing her licking her lips and her eyes constantly glancing towards her kitchen, I knew what she was up to.

Zhou Chunmei used to have a sweet tooth and would often ask her for pocket money to buy delicious food.

At that time, she liked Zhou Dayong, so she treated him like her younger sister and would give him pocket money from time to time.

In the end, Zhou Chunmei didn't remember any of the good things she had done for her; all she showed was disgust.

Wenrou didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family anymore, so she pulled her hand away from Zhou Chunmei's.

"No need for an apology. After all, I hit you too, so we're even. If you have nothing else to do, get lost. I have absolutely nothing to do with you or your Zhou family anymore. Stay away from me from now on."

After speaking gently, she ignored Zhou Chunmei and slammed the door shut.

The Zhou family knew about her pregnancy. Wasn't it the Zhou family who reported her when she was taken away for investigation a few days ago?

Zhou Chunmei really thinks she's a fool, still believing she's the same gentle girl who always puts the Zhou family first and tries to please them.

Zhou Chunmei was furious that Wenrou had kicked her out so easily. Her face turned pale with anger.

This gentleness is really too much to ask; she'll be begging me for help someday.

"Wenrou, you just wait."

After saying that, Zhou Chunmei stormed off.

Wenrou ignored her and went to the table to continue eating her meal.
