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

Wenrou didn't stay in the same place any longer, and what kind of life Zhou Chunmei lived afterward had nothing to do with her.

She has only collected a pitifully small amount of wheat straw and corn cobs in the past two days, which is far from enough to make a culture medium.

She was still thinking about visiting a more distant village the next day when she happened to pass by Professor Peng's house and heard Aunt Song calling her from afar.

"Xiao Rou".

Wenrou turned her head and saw Song Yuqiu waving at her.

So she left the cart at the door and went inside.

Song Yuqiu also realized that since Zhou Chunmei's incident, Wenrou and she had become much more distant.

She also regretted believing Zhou Chunmei's words and developing some prejudice against Wenrou.

But now she knows who is truly good to her.

"Auntie, how are you feeling?"

Wenrou didn't hold it against her for what happened before. After all, Professor Peng had helped her so much, and she would need to trouble Professor Peng a lot more if she wanted to grow mushrooms well in the future.

"I'm much better, Xiaorou. Come and sit down, and talk to your aunt." Song Yuqiu took Wenrou's hand and warmly invited her to sit down.

She knew her own body best; ever since they were sent down here, her health had been deteriorating day by day.

Last time, after Zhou Chunmei drugged her with sleeping pills, she had to stay in bed for several days before her body slowly recovered.

If Wenrou hadn't taken her to the medical station in time, she might not have survived.

"Xiaorou, I have to apologize to you for what happened last time. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to others and developed a prejudice against you. I know you're a good girl." Song Yuqiu held Wenrou's hand and kept apologizing.

Seeing this, Wenrou grasped Song Yuqiu's hand in return, "Auntie, it's good that you're alright. What happened before is all in the past."

Seeing Wenrou's magnanimity, Song Yuqiu felt even more guilty.

"Child, I don't have any relatives here. If you don't mind, come and talk to me more often, okay?" Song Yuqiu held Wenrou's hand tightly and looked at her with pleading eyes.

Wenrou met her gaze and, feeling embarrassed to refuse, had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Wenrou agreed, Song Yuqiu was also very happy and insisted on having lunch at his home with Wenrou.

After Professor Peng returned at noon, he discussed some planting matters with Wenrou.

Upon learning that she had already purchased the bacterial culture from the county, Professor Peng became even more enthusiastic and joined in as well.

"Okay, you collect the main ingredients, and I'll figure out how to collect the auxiliary ingredients like cow and sheep manure."

Professor Peng has been here for a long time and is easy to talk to in the village. He knows that the brigade is worried about where to dispose of the cow and sheep manure. He will tell the village secretary that it can be used to make culture medium.

"That's great." Wenrou was just wondering where to collect cow and sheep manure, but Professor Peng solved the problem in no time.

In the evening, Wenrou wanted to tell Huo Yanchuan about the latest progress in mushroom cultivation, but she waited until after 10 p.m. and he still hadn't returned.

She decided not to wait any longer and went straight to sleep.

When she looked into Huo Yanchuan's room in the morning, she realized that he hadn't come back the night before.

Huo Yanchuan used to stay in the military dormitory, so she assumed he had been training too late the night before and had gone to sleep there, so she didn't think much of it.

After a quick breakfast, Wenrou went to a village a little further away and worked all day to finally collect most of the main ingredients.

After returning, Wenrou didn't delay and worked for two days to finally get the culture medium ready. Now she just had to wait for fermentation.

These past few days she's been hauling her cart around collecting wheat straw and corn cobs, but instead of making any money, she's actually lost a lot of money.

The people in the compound were also shocked. Had she lost her mind? Was she really planning to grow mushrooms in the Gobi Desert?

"Do you think Huo Tuan's wife is stupid? In a place like the Gobi Desert, where there's no water and even crops can't grow, how can she possibly grow mushrooms?"

"Exactly! Even if you could grow mushrooms, would anyone buy them?"

"We can barely afford food, where would we get the money to buy mushrooms? This is just a waste of time. Just wait and see, in the end, Commander Huo will definitely have to clean up her mess."

Wenrou ignored those people and went home on her own.

However, there was something she found strange: Huo Yanchuan seemed to have disappeared these past few days, not returning home even once.

She initially thought he was training in the military, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But three or four days have passed. If he were in the army, he would have to go home to change his clothes, right?

Thinking of this, Wenrou decided to go back and pack her things to go to the military base to ask about the situation.

These days, she's been busy with work in the fields and hasn't paid much attention to Huo Yanchuan. Now it seems that something is indeed wrong.

Upon arriving at the military base, Wenrou approached the guard and asked, "Hello comrade, I'm looking for Huo Yanchuan. Is he in the unit?"

Upon hearing that Wenrou was looking for Huo Yanchuan, the guard said, "Commander Huo went out on a mission three days ago."

"Three days ago?" Wenrou was very surprised when she heard that.

What kind of mission is it that's so urgent? Why hasn't anyone told her?

"And what about Hao Gang? Is he your Deputy Battalion Commander Hao?" Wenrou continued to ask.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Hao also went."

No wonder Huo Yanchuan hasn't been home these past few days; he's been out on a mission.

She thanked him gently and was about to leave when she saw a military jeep slowly driving towards her.

She recognized the car; it was the one Hao Gang had driven with her when they went to the county last time.

Wenrou moved aside and saw the two guards standing at the door run up to her.

At this moment, Hao Gang got out of the car first. He immediately saw Wenrou standing not far away. After a moment of surprise, his eyes were filled with a trace of self-blame and guilt.

When she saw Hao Gang return, Wenrou walked over to him.

"Hao Gang, where's Huo Yanchuan? Didn't he come back with you?"

At this moment, she noticed something was wrong with Hao Gang's face and immediately had a bad feeling.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Gang said with a guilty look, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Hearing Hao Gang say this, Wenrou hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Just then, another person got off the car; it was Zhou Dayong.

Upon seeing Wenrou, Zhou Dayong's expression changed, and he felt somewhat guilty, not daring to look Wenrou in the eye.

At this moment, Hao Gang's voice came through: "The regimental commander is injured and is receiving treatment at the county hospital."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Dayong, his face immediately darkening. He swung his fist and charged at him, smashing a punch hard into Zhou Dayong's face.

He pointed at Zhou Dayong and complained to Wenrou, "It's all because of his bad command that two brothers almost lost their lives. Commander Huo was shot while trying to save those two brothers, which is why he was injured."
