Seeing Huo Yanchuan return, with Wenrou supporting him and the two smiling so harmoniously and happily, Zhou Dayong felt extremely uncomfortable.

He couldn't believe that Wenrou had fallen for Huo Yanchuan so quickly; she used to follow him around and revolve around him.

She used to like me so much, how could she have fallen for someone else so quickly?

What he couldn't understand even more was how Huo Yanchuan, such a high and mighty person, could possibly fall in love with someone as gentle as Wenrou.

What's more, she was pregnant with that spy's child.

I heard that he even took the initiative to acknowledge the child in Wenrou's belly, saying that the child was his, Huo Yanchuan's. How is that possible?

Based on his understanding of Huo Yanchuan, this was not something he would do.

The only possibility is that both of them were putting on an act for others to see.

He wondered why Wenrou had broken off her engagement with him and then so quickly married Huo Yanchuan. It turned out she was just putting on an act for him.

Does this mean that Wenrou still has feelings for him?

After so many years of relationship, he didn't believe she could just let go like that.

As Zhou Dayong watched Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan leave, a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Gently, she helped Huo Yanchuan into the house, where she had already tidied up his room.

Huo Yanchuan actually felt that his injury was fine, but Hao Gang and Wenrou were still worried and insisted that he rest at home for a while longer.

"Sister-in-law, the regimental commander's wound needs to be dressed regularly. Here are the medicine and gauze prescribed by the doctor. You can put them on him when the time comes."

After Hao Gang finished explaining these things, he left, and Wenrou wrote down all of his instructions.

Just as Huo Yanchuan was settled in, an urgent voice came from outside the door.

"Gentle girl, are you home?"

Hearing the sound, Wenrou came out and saw Wang's sister-in-law looking anxious.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" she asked gently.

"Your land has been vandalized; several large holes have been poked in those sheds."

Sister-in-law Wang had received help from Wenrou before, and since the two families' land was close to each other, she saw that the sheds in Wenrou's land had holes when she went to work today, so she quickly came over to tell her the news.

Upon hearing this news, Wenrou's expression immediately changed.

She put down her work and followed Sister Wang to the fields.

Just as Sister Wang had said, the shed she had painstakingly built was maliciously destroyed.

These past few days, she has been working on the culture medium fermentation, and next month she will be able to directly inoculate the mycelium.

Although she was prepared that her mushroom cultivation would not be well-received, she never expected that someone would try to sabotage her now.

"Girl, do you really think your idea of ​​using mushrooms will work? If it really won't, you should probably give up."

Sister-in-law Wang also considers Wenrou one of her own. These past few days, seeing Wenrou pregnant and still having to work in the fields every day, she feels sorry for her.

Everyone in the compound is waiting for spring to arrive so they can plant crops, but Wenrou insists on planting mushrooms at this time.

Although it's uncertain whether she can successfully cultivate these mushrooms, it's inevitable that some people will disapprove.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your kind reminder, but I won't give up on growing mushrooms."

Wenrou knew that Sister-in-law Wang meant well, but she had done so much research beforehand, and if she gave up now, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

She wanted to see who was really against her.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back first," Wenrou said to Wang's sister-in-law.

"Go back? Go back now? What will we do here?" Sister Wang asked with concern.

She had originally thought that if Wenrou needed help, and since she was free anyway, she could help her out.

"It's okay, it won't affect anything." Wenrou said this, but in her heart she was already planning how to catch the person.

She had just seen a figure flash by over the haystack, and she said that so that the figure could hear her.

If that person isn't taught a lesson this time, her planting plans will likely be difficult to carry out in the future.

When Sister-in-law Wang heard Wenrou say that, she felt relieved and went back with Wenrou.

Only after they left did the figure emerge.

Hearing Wenrou say that the hole wouldn't affect anything, the man's eyes lit up, and he decided to make his move later that night.

After Wenrou returned home, she didn't rush back to her family home, but instead went to the military base.

She had been handling the mushroom cultivation herself all along. Although Huo Yanchuan knew about it, the military hadn't taken it seriously.

She needs to go see Political Commissar Zhao. If she can get the support of the military leaders and have them back her up, she won't have to worry about anyone causing trouble in the future.

As long as mushroom cultivation can become a key project recognized by the military, she can rest assured in the future.

This was Wenrou's first time entering the military base. She stood at the door and explained her purpose to the guards. Soon, someone led her to Political Commissar Zhao's office.

Political Commissar Zhao had met Wenrou when she helped the army catch spies, and he also saw her help solve the water problem in the family compound. He had a very good impression of her for these things.

Wenrou stood at the door and knocked. Soon she heard Political Commissar Zhao's voice coming from inside.

"Come in."

Wenrou pushed open the door and walked in. Political Commissar Zhao also stood up from his chair at this moment, his smile showing a hint of kindness. "Comrade Wen, is there something you need?"

"Political Commissar, I've come to ask you for help with something," Wenrou stated directly, explaining her purpose.

Political Commissar Zhao didn't seem surprised that Wenrou had come to see him. Before she could even speak, he said, "You've come to see me about the mushroom cultivation, haven't you?"

Huo Yanchuan had already told him about this before, hoping that the military could cooperate with Wenrou on this planting project, which could also be considered as their task of building the Gobi Desert.

If the gentle plant can be successfully cultivated and the problem of growing food in the Gobi Desert is solved, that would be a good thing.

Not only that, Huo Yanchuan also showed him all the planting information that Wenrou had previously compiled, and he also thought the project was excellent.

When Political Commissar Zhao saw that Wenrou had taken the initiative to come to him this time, he guessed what was going on.

Wenrou looked surprised when she heard what the political commissar said.

Then she heard the political commissar continue, "Before you came to me, Xiao Huo had already told me to take a look at this."

After Political Commissar Zhao finished speaking, he reached out and handed her the documents on the table.

Wenrou picked up the document with a puzzled look and flipped through it. After reading it, she was even more shocked.

She hadn't expected that Huo Yanchuan had already applied for the matter she was seeking help from the political commissar, and that it had even received support from the General Military Region.

This document is the planting plan for the project she collaborated on with the military, and it also bears the military's stamp.

"This..." Wenrou looked at the plan from left to right, and finally stared at Political Commissar Zhao with wide eyes in disbelief.

This was the first time Political Commissar Zhao had ever seen Huo Yanchuan so concerned about something. When he first heard the news of Huo Yanchuan's marriage, not only the entire team but even Huo Yanchuan himself was surprised.

With Huo Yanchuan's arrogant nature, he couldn't even imagine what kind of woman could subdue him.

It seems that Huo Yanchuan, that wild horse that has run wild, still needs someone like Wenrou to tame him.

"Alright, I know you came here for this matter. Now that you have the military region's protection, you can go ahead and do it with peace of mind." Political Commissar Zhao was also very supportive of her.

Wenrou held the document, her fingers slightly warm. She hadn't expected that Huo Yanchuan, who usually looked so rough and burly, could always know what she wanted.

Such tacit understanding is indeed very rare.

After thanking Political Commissar Zhao, Wenrou took the documents and left.

As soon as she reached the door, she ran into Hao Gang, who looked anxious, with two soldiers behind him.

"Political Commissar, the military trucks transporting supplies from the General Military Region broke down en route. Regiment Commander Huo is currently recovering from his injuries, and our unit doesn't have anyone else who understands this. If we send someone from the General Military Region, it might be too late."

Every three months, the military would send supplies from the General Military Region. In addition to daily necessities, quilts, and military overcoats, the rest were food supplies to feed all the troops for three months.

Life in the Gobi Desert is harsh and supplies are scarce. Each delivery of supplies takes more than half a month to make and take place.

Now they've encountered a sandstorm on the way, and the truck has broken down. If something goes wrong with this shipment, all these troops will go hungry.

Upon hearing this news, Political Commissar Zhao's expression also became serious.

"At this point, we can only go to Huo Yanchuan. For the sake of so many people in the army, it seems we have to carry him there to get the car repaired, even if we have to."

The political commissar was at his wit's end. If even one person knew how to repair a car, he wouldn't have let Huo Yanchuan, who was still recovering from his injuries, go over there.

Hao Gang's expression was also very serious. Huo Tuan's wound had not yet healed. What if the wound was torn on the way and left with any sequelae?

Wenrou was about to leave, but when she heard their conversation, she stopped in her tracks.

Hao Gang looked at Wenrou at the door and saw that she hadn't left yet. He could only say to her with some difficulty, "Sister-in-law, you heard it just now. We need Commander Huo now."

Wenrou was, after all, Huo Yanchuan's lover, and at this point, she had to agree.

They all thought Wenrou would agree, but to their surprise, she refused outright.

"No, her injuries haven't fully healed yet. What if the bumps on the road reopen her wounds?"

Upon hearing Wenrou's words, everyone present fell silent.

While it's only natural to feel gentle concern, Huo Yanchuan is, after all, the regimental commander of the army. For the sake of so many people in the army, the only option is to make him make some sacrifices.

Commissar Zhao frowned deeply. If Wenrou disagreed, they didn't know what to do.

Political Commissar Zhao, who had just had a very good impression of Wenrou, was now somewhat disappointed in her because of this incident.

"Xiao Wen, I know you're doing this for Xiao Huo's own good, but as a military wife, you have to be mindful of the bigger picture when necessary. This is also a kind of responsibility and commitment. You're a good comrade, and I believe you'll make the right choice."

Political Commissar Zhao sighed and tried to persuade Wenrou.

Hao Gang didn't speak. He was thinking about whether he should go and tell the regimental commander about this matter and let him decide whether or not to go.

He also believed that if the regimental commander knew about this, he would definitely go without hesitation.

Standing behind Hao Gang were two company commanders, both of whom were trained by Huo Yanchuan. Although they knew he was married, they had never seen Wenrou.

Now that he knows Wenrou is Huo Yanchuan's lover, and hearing her selfish words, he feels a sense of contempt for her.

A woman is a woman; she has no awareness of being a military wife. I don't know what Huo Tuan saw in her.

Wenrou heard the political commissar's words and, combined with the expressions of Hao Gang and the two company commanders behind him, knew that they must have misunderstood her.

"I said I shouldn't let Huo Yanchuan go, but I didn't say I wouldn't help him resolve this matter. As a military wife, of course I know what I should do. What I mean is, I'll go in his place."

Wenrou looked at Political Commissar Zhao, then glanced at Hao Gang and the other two, noticing their shocked expressions upon hearing her words.

"Sister-in-law, do you...do you know how to repair trucks?" Hao Gang asked subconsciously.

He knew that Wenrou wasn't one to joke around, so she must have her own reasons for saying that.

Wenrou nodded gently. "I've studied some of it before. The principles of truck repair are pretty much the same, so I should be able to fix it."

In her previous life, before she drove a truck, she worked at a truck repair shop.

Back then, she solved all the problems she encountered on the road by herself, and she knew more about cars than anyone else.

People who drove her around at the time joked that she should open a repair shop and be her own boss.

She did have this idea at the time, but she had sent all the money she had back to the Zhou family.

Without any funds, she couldn't see it even if she wanted to.

Later, she even discussed opening a repair shop with the Zhou family. Unfortunately, they were a family of bloodsuckers; how could they easily give back the money they had taken in?

In the end, that matter was never resolved.

Hearing Wenrou's words, even Political Commissar Zhao was somewhat incredulous.

However, considering that she could drive a truck and that her driving skills were no less than Huo Yanchuan's, Political Commissar Zhao had no choice but to agree.

After all, they had no other choice at the moment, and besides, he believed that Wenrou was not a person without sense of propriety.

Since she said that, it means she must have a solution.

"Hao Gang, drive Comrade Wen there immediately," Political Commissar Zhao quickly made the decision and ordered Hao Gang.

Upon receiving the order, Hao Gang didn't dare to delay and went outside with Wenrou in tow.

However, Wenrou had just walked out when she came back. She remembered that the culture medium shed had been vandalized, so she asked Political Commissar Zhao to help her catch the culprit.

Political Commissar Zhao simply asked the two company commanders who had been with Hao Gang to keep an eye on Wenrou that night.

The two who had just been questioning Wenrou now looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they felt the mission was somewhat frustrating, they had no choice but to carry out the order given by the political commissar.

As she left, Wenrou patted them on the shoulder and said, "Good comrades, keep it up and do a good job."

Upon hearing Wenrou's words, the two of them looked even more unpleasant.

After leaving the military base, Wenrou took her repair kit and set off with Hao Gang. Huo Yanchuan only received the news when Wenrou was already halfway there.

Upon hearing that Wenrou had gone out on a mission alone with Hao Gang, his face instantly darkened.
