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

"Wen..." Huo Yanchuan's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he subconsciously tried to stop her.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was happening, his pants had already been pulled down by Wenrou.

At this moment, Wenrou had no time to care about anything else; her gaze was fixed on the injury on his thigh, and Huo Yanchuan immediately looked embarrassed.

Seeing that the wound was indeed infected and bleeding, and even had some pus, Wenrou's eyes were full of worry.

So she didn't dare delay and quickly grabbed the alcohol solution to disinfect and change his dressing.

Just as her fingers were about to touch Huo Yanchuan's wound, he grabbed her wrist.

"I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."

His injury was in a rather awkward location. Even though she was only staring at the wound, he still felt a sense of shame, as if she had seen his entire body.

It wasn't that he was being dramatic, but their current situation inevitably reminded him of the night she pinned him to the bed.

The trauma of that night has not completely faded from his mind.

"Stop being coy now. I'm not going to do anything to you, so what are you afraid of? Is your pride more important or your health? If this injury isn't treated soon, your leg will be ruined."

Wenrou ignored him, pulled her hand out of his, and quickly began to disinfect it.

Huo Yanchuan: "..."

You won't do anything, but didn't you already do it the first time you met?

"Just bear with it."

After speaking gently, she pressed the cotton swab in her hand onto his wound.

Huo Yanchuan gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and looked up. He saw Wenrou frowning, seriously disinfecting his wound with a cotton swab.

Although she had never studied medicine, her father used to be the village veterinarian, and she learned some things from him.

The principles are all similar, so she is quite familiar with changing dressings and treating wounds.

Huo Yanchuan suppressed his embarrassment and watched as Wenrou finished treating his wounds.

After she made sure the wound was healed, she looked up and met Huo Yanchuan's dark eyes.

"Okay, you can put your pants on now. Do you need my help?"

She gently reminded him, but Huo Yanchuan shook his head, "I can do it myself."

After he finished speaking, he quickly pulled his pants up again.

However, in just a short while, Huo Tuan's face was already flushed red.

"Are you very hot? Do you have a fever?"

Wenrou noticed that his face was unusually flushed and worried that it was a fever caused by an infection of his wound.

So he reached out and placed his hand on Huo Yanchuan's forehead to check his temperature.

Huo Tuan, whose face was already flushed and whose heart was pounding abnormally, suddenly felt a warm touch on his forehead. He quickly reached out and grabbed Wenrou's hand, preventing her from touching him any further.

Actually, he felt something down there when Wenrou was changing his dressing.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time since that night.

At that time, he even thought he would never be a normal man again.

Later, he accepted it calmly.

But now, he's uncertain again...

"What's wrong?" Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan and saw a hint of panic in his eyes, so she asked in confusion.

Could it be that he was bothered by my touch just now?

She had also heard that some people's mental health was affected by fertility problems, and Huo Yanchuan might be one of them.

Thinking back on her actions, although she had indeed crossed the line, it was something she did in a moment of panic.

"Um, I didn't mean it just now. I was only thinking about your injury. Don't take it to heart. I didn't mean anything by it." Wenrou explained to Huo Yanchuan, worried that he might overthink things.

Hearing Wenrou's gentle words, Huo Yanchuan was slightly taken aback, realizing that she had misunderstood.

"I'm not being that dramatic. Thank you for what happened earlier."

She seemed even more concerned about his injuries than he was, which moved Huo Yanchuan deeply.

While his peers were still chasing and playing, his father sent him to the army for training.

Back then, injuries were a common occurrence.

Later, after he was admitted to military academy, injuries during training became commonplace, and over the years, he has gotten used to it.

Later, when he came here, even if he was injured, he could only endure it slowly on his own. Few people cared about his injuries as much as Wenrou did.

Hearing Huo Yanchuan say this, Wenrou felt relieved.

"Don't move around for the next few days, otherwise this injury will never heal."

After giving her gentle instructions, she lifted her foot and walked out, quickly escaping the awkward atmosphere.

Huo Yanchuan watched Wenrou's departing figure, his heart, which had been pounding violently just moments before, still not fully calmed down.

He could even feel the lingering warmth of her fingertips on the spot where she had touched him, and the tingling sensation in his body hadn't completely subsided yet.

After tidying up the kitchen, Wenrou felt a little tired, so she went inside, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in no time.

The next day, Zhou Dayong learned that she and Huo Yanchuan had always slept in separate rooms.

He knew there must have been a reason why Wenrou left him so quickly to marry Huo Yanchuan.

It seems that she and Huo Yanchuan have been putting on an act all along. Two people who have no feelings for each other would never sleep in the same room if they got married.

After learning about this, Zhou Dayong felt even more strongly that Wenrou still cared about him, and he knew that Wenrou would not let go of him so easily.

Wenrou had just gotten up when there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door when she heard the noise and saw Hao Gang with the two people she had met in Commissar Zhao's office yesterday. Behind them stood a familiar figure.

"Sister-in-law Chen?"

She was the one who had previously encouraged Shen Qingshuang to go to the black market, but the two had lost contact after Shen Qingshuang lost money.

Wenrou didn't interact with her much, but she knew that Wenrou was notorious in the compound for taking advantage of others and gossiping.

Just then, Hao Gang's voice came over.

"The person who vandalized the greenhouse has been found; it was her. Sister-in-law, you can handle this matter."

Last night, those two men were lying in wait in the field. Around midnight, they saw a figure acting suspiciously and caught him on the spot.

At the time, Sister Chen was still holding the tools used in the crime. Caught red-handed, she had no way to deny it even if she wanted to.

She looked gently at Sister Chen, walked over to her, and coldly questioned, "Sister Chen, I don't think we have any grudge against each other, so why did you destroy my greenhouse?"

She had initially suspected that Shen Qingshuang or He Cuihua were behind it, but she never expected it to be Sister Chen.

At this time, people who heard the commotion came over to see what was going on.

When Sister Wang heard that Wenrou had caught the person who damaged the greenhouse, she rushed over. She was surprised to see that it was Sister Chen.

"Chen Hongxia, it's one thing for you to gossip and take advantage of others in the compound, but Wenrou hasn't offended you, so why do you have to cause trouble?" Sister Wang stepped forward to speak up for Wenrou, looking at Sister Chen with a face full of anger.

"Wang Guixiang, what business is it of yours? Mind your own family's affairs first. You're a good-for-nothing who can't give the Zhu family a son."

Chen Hongxia usually looked down on Wang Guixiang, so she was naturally very resentful to see Wang Guixiang scolding her at this time.

"You..." This matter has always been a pain in Wang Guixiang's heart. It's not her fault that she can't give birth to a son.

Because of this incident, Chen Hongxia had given her mother-in-law a lot of advice, hoping that Zhu Chao would marry someone else.

Her cousin, who was on her second marriage, hadn't found a partner yet, so she wanted Zhu Chao to divorce Wang Guixiang so she could marry her cousin.

Just when her plan seemed about to succeed, this sudden outburst of gentleness thwarted it all.

With Wenrou backing her up, Wang Guixiang actually dared to go against Aunt Zhu and even managed to take control of the family's money.

Not only that, Zhu Chao is now treating her much better than before.

When their superiors learned of this, they issued a firm order forbidding them from divorcing.

How could Chen Hongxia not hate Wenrou because of this?

Since she came to the compound, she has been the center of attention. She even got such a good job, only needing to haul water two or three times a month, and earning sixty yuan a month.

Why should she get such a good thing?

Now she's trying to grow mushrooms. If she succeeds, will they still have a good life in this compound?

Wenrou finally understood why Sister Chen did this. She didn't expect that someone would be so jealous.

"I can understand that you're jealous that I have a stable job, but I earned it through my own abilities. Now, even if I give you the water-hauling job, do you think you can handle it?"

After Wenrou finished speaking, not only did Chen Hongxia lower her head and remain silent, but everyone else around her also fell silent.

Because what Wenrou said was indeed true; those were job opportunities earned through their own abilities, it's just that they lacked the ability themselves.

"Job opportunities are earned through one's own efforts. Instead of spending all your time watching me and being jealous of what I do, you should go find job opportunities yourself. Don't spend all your time doing things behind my back that make people look down on you. That just disgusts me."

After Wenrou finished speaking, Wang Yanping also rushed over.

Following Wenrou's words, she addressed everyone, saying, "Wenrou is right. We are all military families. Living in the same compound as neighbors is our destiny. We should set a good example."

"You make it sound so easy for you. There aren't that many job opportunities in this Gobi Desert. Don't be so smug and complain without understanding the situation," Chen Hongxia complained, still somewhat dissatisfied.

With so many people in this compound, only Wenrou has a job and can earn money. How could they not be jealous after a while?

Chen Hongxia's words resonated with others.

"Yes, people with some skills and abilities naturally don't have to worry about job opportunities, but most of us here come from the countryside. Besides doing housework, taking care of children, and farming, we don't know how to do anything else."

"I think so too. My husband's monthly allowance isn't enough to support our family of five. Life is getting harder and harder."

"I honestly can't think of any other jobs that we could get."

Wenrou frowned when she heard their words.

"Didn't the army allocate land to you all? If you can cultivate your land well, wouldn't that ease the burden on your families?"

Wenrou's words also served as a reminder to them; however, they encountered many problems while turning the soil these past few days.

In addition, the Gobi Desert is already a harsh environment and is severely lacking in water.

Under such circumstances, they actually had no hope that food could be grown in the fields.

They now conserve water even at home, let alone when irrigating the land.

"Gentle girl, what you said is true, but we're really not sure if we can grow any crops next year."

Wang Yanping, the women's director, has been thinking about this issue these days. Although they have all been allocated land, the more they work, the less motivated they become.

Wenrou had thought about this before, but she had been busy taking care of Huo Yanchuan these days and had forgotten about it.

So she looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "Professor Peng from Yongquan Village will be giving a lecture at the brigade square in a few days. He will mainly talk about how to increase grain production. You can go and listen to it and learn a lot. With his guidance, I believe we will definitely have a bumper harvest next year."

The word "gentle" gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

"Is what you're saying true? If it is, then I'll definitely listen carefully in class."

"Me too, I'll definitely go to the lecture and take good notes."

Wang Yanping was also very excited when she heard the news.

"I can assure you, the gentle girl won't lie to us."

This incident not only used Chen Hongxia as a typical example for education and criticism, but also made everyone's attitude towards gentleness better.

Seeing this, Chen Hongxia also began to panic.

"Girl, what are you planning to do about Chen Hongxia's situation?" Wang Yanping asked Wenrou, a troubled look on her face.

"This is a military family compound. If everyone acts like her and causes trouble because of jealousy, will this still be a good community? I remember that according to the rules, she should be kicked out, right?"

Wenrou looked at Chen Hongxia with a cold gaze, her icy voice carrying an oppressive force that left no room for argument.

"No, I won't leave. My husband is a martyr. You can't kick me out!" Chen Hongxia shouted urgently when she heard that she was about to be kicked out.

Wenrou was also stunned when she heard her words.

She didn't know anything about Chen Hongxia's family, nor did she know that her husband was a martyr.

At this moment, Hao Gang and the other two people who had brought her over also showed a hint of difficulty on their faces. This matter was related to Huo Tuan, and he had to make the decision.

Huo Yanchuan heard everything that happened in the courtyard.

He then came out, leaning on his cane, and stood beside Wenrou.

He looked at Chen Hongxia with a stern face and said coldly, "You still know that Wei Jun is a martyr. Remember that this time you are allowed to stay in the family compound temporarily because of Wei Jun's sake, but this is not a repeat. I could agree to let you move in, but I can also order you to be kicked out."

Huo Yanchuan was actually in a difficult position when he did this.

Wei Jun was his comrade-in-arms and the first superior he met here. Unfortunately, he was killed not long after they met.

Upon learning of his family situation, the leader took the initiative to report to the authorities and brought his family members to the family compound. They also provided them with a monthly pension until his son came of age.

Upon learning that she would no longer be evicted from the family compound, Chen Hongxia's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou was looking at him, but he felt a little guilty and didn't dare to meet her eyes.
