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

Wenrou had already fallen asleep, but she was woken up by the urge to urinate, so she decided to get up and go to the toilet.

She was too lazy to turn on the light, so she decided to take a flashlight and go out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I saw a black figure standing there.

She shone her flashlight closer to the man and realized it was Huo Yanchuan.

"I thought you were asleep," Huo Yanchuan said somewhat awkwardly.

He hadn't expected Wenrou to suddenly become so gentle at this moment, so he could only hug the blanket and explain, "New recruits have arrived at the army base, and the dormitories are already full. I'm just coming back to stay for a few days."

Wenrou didn't suspect the excuse he came up with, after all, the house originally belonged to Huo Yanchuan, and she couldn't stop him from coming home to live.

"Then come in quickly, it's cold outside," Wenrou replied gently, reminding him.

Huo Yanchuan nodded and then carried the quilt into the room.

Wenrou, feeling that she was occupying the master bedroom, asked, "How about I vacate the master bedroom for you?"

Huo Yanchuan used to live in the master bedroom. It was fine before he didn't come back, but now that he's back, it's not appropriate for her to stay in the master bedroom anymore.

Besides, the bed in the second bedroom is a bit small.

"No need, I'll sleep in the second bedroom." Huo Yanchuan said, carrying the blanket and pillow to the second bedroom and putting them down.

When Wenrou heard him say that, she let him have his way.

She was in a hurry to use the restroom, so she didn't say much to Huo Yanchuan.

When she returned, all the lights in Huo Yanchuan's room were off.

Seeing this, Wenrou quickly went back to her room, crawled into bed, and turned off the flashlight.

Huo Yanchuan has to train in the morning, so he gets up relatively early.

When Wenrou got up, she saw that Huo Yanchuan's room was already empty. The bed was still neatly made, and everything was even arranged in an aligned manner.

Even someone with OCD would find a room like this very comfortable.

After dinner, Wenrou received the task of fetching water, so just like last time, she got into the truck with Squad Leader Ma and drove to the county reservoir.

After watching Wenrou leave, Zhou Chunmei sat at the door and waited for Huo Yanchuan to return.

At noon, she saw Huo Yanchuan enter the family compound and hurriedly ran over to him.

"Commander Huo, there's something about your wife that I think I should tell you," Zhou Chunmei whispered to Huo Yanchuan.

Upon hearing something related to gentleness, Huo Yanchuan was slightly taken aback, then looked sharply at Zhou Chunmei.

"What is it?"

He was skeptical of what Zhou Chunmei said, and of course, he couldn't believe it.

"You don't know yet, do you? Your wife, Wenrou, definitely has something going on with Deputy Battalion Commander Hao. I often see Hao Gang going to see her. They definitely have a secret relationship."

Zhou Chunmei acted as if she had witnessed it herself and couldn't wait to let Huo Yanchuan know about it.

"Hao Gang?"

Huo Yanchuan snorted coldly, looking at Zhou Chunmei, "Do you know the consequences of defamation?"

Zhou Chunmei has no evidence whatsoever; she's trying to frame Wenrou based solely on her own words.

Even if Wenrou and Hao Gang were alright, he wouldn't stop them if something really happened to them.

He said when he married Wenrou that if she ever met someone she liked, he would let her have his way and divorce her.

"You really believe Wenrou that much? You've only known her for a short time, how do you know her so well? I'm sure I'm telling the truth, go and investigate the two of them." Zhou Chunmei was worried for Huo Yanchuan because he still believed Wenrou.

Is Huo Yanchuan stupid?

His wife is having an affair with another man, and he's still so calm?

Could it be that he has become sexually apathetic because he cannot have children, and is therefore indifferent to such matters?

Huo Yanchuan ignored her and left.

Seeing that Huo Yanchuan didn't believe her, Zhou Chunmei had no choice but to spread the word about Wenrou and Hao Gang throughout the compound.

Wenrou was unaware of this at the moment. She and Squad Leader Ma had just arrived at the county reservoir when they learned that the reservoir was running low on water and they would have to fetch water from the city next time.

While she was getting water, she went to the county department store.

She had inquired about the place when she and Squad Leader Ma came last time, so she found it quickly.

To get from the reservoir to the department store, you have to pass the train station. Last time, she got off the train here to go to the military base.

She was just browsing around and didn't really need to buy anything.

However, just after she came out of the department store, she passed through an alley and saw a young man beating an old woman lying on the ground.

As she approached, she discovered that the old woman was clutching an antique pocket watch tightly in her hand, refusing to let go even though her face was covered in blood from the young man's beating.

"This is mine. I'm keeping it to find my son. I can't give it to you." The old woman clutched the pocket watch tightly, as if she were protecting her most precious possession with her life.

Seeing this, Wenrou walked straight over.

I never expected there would be robbers in broad daylight.

"What are you doing?" she called out to the young man.

Upon hearing the sound, the young man instinctively wanted to turn and run.

But when he turned around and saw a thin woman, he gave up running.

"Little wench, you want to meddle in other people's business?"

He looked Wenrou up and down and saw that although she was wearing a headscarf, it was not hard to tell that she was very beautiful, so he revealed a wicked smile.

He naturally didn't pay any attention to Wenrou, and even thought to himself that he was having such good luck today.

This young lady will definitely fetch a good price; when the price is added to the proceeds from the sale of this antique pocket watch, it will certainly be quite a sum.

When the old woman saw that the person who came was a woman, the hope that had just risen in her eyes vanished at that moment.

"Girl, run! Don't worry about me!" the old woman called out in the direction of the gentle breeze.

She was an old woman, and since she was already here, she didn't have much time left to live. This pocket watch was her only keepsake.

Since being sent down here, she has been hoping every day that her family could be reunited, but she also knows that it is all just her fantasy.

She fears she will never see her son again in this lifetime.

She didn't want to implicate others, so she wanted Wenrou to run away quickly and not be stopped by the bad guys.

"Trying to run? It's too late." The young man whistled as he saw this.

Immediately afterwards, two slightly older middle-aged men emerged from another alleyway.

"Little wench, you asked for this. Grab her quickly, you can sell her for a good price later," the young man shouted at the two men.

The two men looked at Wenrou with excitement in their eyes, but they didn't notice that Wenrou wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly and her eyes showed a hint of excitement.

In her past life, she was often bullied when she drove a truck. Later, she found a martial arts master and studied with him for several years.

These two dare to make a move on her? They're asking for it.
