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

"Godmother, you..." Wenrou felt a pang of sadness as she listened to Song Yuqiu's last words, unable to accept the fact that she was leaving.

Professor Peng said that she suddenly became disoriented and tripped, and lay at home for a whole day without anyone noticing. By the time they found her, she was already like this.

Wenrou found it strange; just two days ago, she was full of hope for life, but now she had become like this.

She hasn't found her son yet, and her family hasn't been reunited. Why is she leaving?

Is it possible that things that happened in a past life cannot be changed?

Professor Peng stood aside, watching his beloved wife about to pass away. He was powerless to do anything, feeling both distressed and heartbroken, as well as deeply guilty.

It was because of him that his wife was also sent down to this place.

But he failed to take good care of her, watching her health deteriorate day by day, yet he was unable to afford her treatment.

"Old Peng," Song Yuqiu called out in Professor Peng's direction.

Upon seeing this, Professor Peng stepped forward and stood beside Wenrou, reaching out to firmly grasp his wife's hand.

"Old Peng, after I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself. Although I will never see the day when our family is reunited, you must not give up looking for your son."

Professor Peng held her hand with tears streaming down his face and nodded with a look of reluctance.

"Xiao Qiu, I promise you, I will find our son."

With her words, Song Yuqiu felt relieved.

At this point, she was beginning to lose consciousness. Looking at Wenrou and Professor Peng, a final smile slowly appeared on her lips. She slowly closed her eyes and left this world forever.

"Godmother," she called softly, but this time Song Yuqiu's eyes did not open again.

At that moment, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Song Yuqiu, she treated him very well.

She wanted to tell her everything about Song Yulan and Huo Yanchuan, but it was all too late.

"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of her and made her suffer so much." Professor Peng lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs.

She gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be too sad. You need to take good care of yourself so you can wait until the day you leave this place."

Professor Peng took Wenrou's words as a way of comforting him; in reality, he had already given up hope of leaving this place.

But thinking about what his wife had just said, he felt he couldn't give up; their son hadn't been found yet.

Wenrou handed the things Song Yuqiu had given her to Professor Peng, saying, "These belong to my godmother. I still can't take them. This pocket watch must be very important to her. It's better if you keep it."

Professor Peng looked at the pocket watch in her hand, shook his head, and pushed it back.

"Child, this is something Xiao Qiu gave you. Please accept it. If you don't, she'll blame me."

Professor Peng respected his wife's decision, knowing that she must have had her own reasons for giving the pocket watch to Wenrou.

Seeing that Professor Peng said that, Wenrou could only keep it for now, thinking that she could find an opportunity to return it to him when she left this place.

However, she felt that something was off about this matter.

How could a perfectly healthy person trip up?

And why was he lying on the ground for so long, only being discovered when he was barely alive?

Wenrou didn't tell Professor Peng her suspicions; she kept it to herself for now, deciding to tell him when she found out the truth.

The news of Aunt Song's passing quickly spread throughout the village. Professor Peng had helped the village so much, and everyone was willing to help him with Aunt Song's funeral arrangements.

The village party secretary and his team were busy the whole time. Knowing that Professor Peng was upset, they didn't let him get too involved.

After leaving Professor Peng's house, Wenrou ran into Zhou Chunmei.

She hadn't intended to pay any attention to Zhou Chunmei, but when Zhou Chunmei saw that she had come from Professor Peng's house, she stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Wenrou, tell me honestly, did Song Yuqiu give you something when she died?"

She looked at him gently but coldly. "Why are you asking this? Besides, whether she gave me anything or not is none of your business."

After she finished speaking, she pulled her arm away. Seeing that Zhou Chunmei looked strange, she knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

Although she didn't know whether Zhou Chunmei was responsible for her godmother's death, seeing her like this, even if it wasn't her doing, she was definitely involved.

"Stop pretending. When Song Yuqiu recognized me as her goddaughter, she said she would give me her pocket watch. That pocket watch looks worth a lot of money. You didn't steal it, did you?"

Zhou Chunmei stopped pretending with Wenrou and directly stated her purpose.

She wondered why she couldn't find her pocket watch at home; it turned out that the old hag had stolen it.

The pocket watch was originally intended for her by Song Yuqiu, but now she went back on her word and gave it to Wenrou. Zhou Chunmei was naturally furious.

"What pocket watch? I don't know." Wenrou didn't agree with Zhou Chunmei.

However, seeing how much Zhou Chunmei wanted the pocket watch, Wenrou knew she couldn't reveal that the watch was with her.

"That's impossible. How could you not know? Song Yuqiu is so good to you, she would definitely tell you about the pocket watch." Zhou Chunmei clearly didn't believe Wenrou's words.

The old woman never revealed the location of her hidden treasure, and now that she's dead, it'll be even harder for her to find out.

If Wenrou didn't take the pocket watch, then it must be in Professor Peng's hands.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chunmei ignored Wenrou and went straight home.

Guo Qiang was already waiting at home. As soon as she returned, he grabbed her arm and asked impatiently, "Where's the pocket watch? Did you get it?"

Zhou Chunmei shook her head in fright, "No, she must have given it to Professor Peng."

When Guo Qiang saw that she couldn't even handle this simple matter, he got so angry that he slapped her across the face.

"Useless trash, you can't even handle this simple task. What use are you to me? You're such bad luck. Why did I ever marry a piece of trash like you?"

Enraged, Guo Qiang clenched his fists and punched Zhou Chunmei repeatedly.

Since marrying him, Zhou Chunmei has lived in pain and fear every day.

Unable to resist Guo Qiang, she could only cover her head and scream for mercy.

"Stop hitting me, waaaaah..."

They would only stop when Guo Qiang got tired of fighting.

Zhou Chunmei didn't know how long she would have to endure this kind of life. The thought that her current state was all caused by her gentleness slowly filled her eyes with hatred.

After Wenrou returned home, she put the pocket watch away.

Although she felt sorry for Aunt Song's situation, she also knew that her ability to be reborn and change her own fate was probably a great blessing from heaven. Helping others was indeed more difficult.

However, since she had promised Aunt Song that she would help her find her son, she would not give up.

Although she cannot reunite Professor Peng's family, she will do her best to let Professor Peng see his son.

Thinking that Professor Peng's family was also in Beijing, and that Huo Yanchuan might be able to find out some things, she went to the military base and called Huo Yanchuan.

On the other end of the phone, Wenrou told her about Professor Peng's family situation. After hearing this, Huo Yanchuan told her not to worry and that he would help investigate.

Wenrou was surprised that Huo Yanchuan agreed so easily, so she asked with some concern, "Will this have any impact on you?"

Huo Yanchuan was already very happy that Wenrou thought of him when she needed something. Hearing how worried she was about him, he comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'm part of the investigation team, and investigating this matter is my job. It won't have any impact."

Wenrou felt relieved after hearing him say that.

"How are you doing in Beijing? Is everything alright back home?" Wenrou thought it wasn't appropriate to only talk about herself on the phone, so she casually asked a question out of concern.

"Everything is fine. I'll be back in a couple of days."

Huo Yanchuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, but at that moment, a familiar voice also came into Wenrou's ears from the phone.

"Brother Yanchuan, Grandpa's awake and looking for you." It was Huo Tingting's voice.

Huo Yanchuan hummed in agreement, then said something to Wenrou before hanging up the phone.

Wenrou thought that it would be normal for Huo Tingting, as his sister, to be by Huo Yanchuan's side when he returned.

However, she didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she always felt that Huo Tingting's feelings for Huo Yanchuan were not as simple as those between siblings.

The way she looked at me didn't seem like I was looking at my sister-in-law at all; it was as if she saw me as a rival in love.

However, this matter concerns Huo Yanchuan's own family, and given her current relationship with him, it's indeed not appropriate for her to interfere too much.

Huo Yanchuan hadn't talked much about his family, so she didn't feel the need to ask.

Anyway, they were just business partners who lived together, so it's only right to keep some distance sometimes.

Seeing that Huo Yanchuan had hung up the phone, Huo Tingting asked curiously, "Brother, who were you talking to? Was it Wenrou?"

Huo Yanchuan glanced at her, ignored her, and walked towards the old man's room.

The reason the Huo family made such a big commotion this time, telling him that the old man had fainted and insisting that he come back, was simply because they wanted to ask him about Wenrou.

"Grandpa." Huo Yanchuan greeted the old man politely when he saw that he had woken up.

Upon seeing Huo Yanchuan, the old man's face immediately darkened.

"So you actually came back? You still know you're a member of the Huo family. I thought even if I died, you wouldn't come back to see me."

Grandpa Huo had already heard about the military family compound from Huo Tingting, and now he was using this method to call Huo Yanchuan back, hoping to break up his relationship with Wenrou.

Even if the Huo family truly has no heir, they cannot accept someone else's bastard child.

Besides, he had also heard that Wenrou was pregnant out of wedlock, and that the child in her belly was the bastard child of a spy.

How could this not make him angry? Where would he put his old face after this?

Huo Yanchuan frowned upon hearing the old man's words.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and that wild woman?" the old man asked Huo Yanchuan directly.

Huo Tingting stood at the door, secretly listening to the conversation inside. When she heard that her grandfather had finally asked about Wenrou, she felt a surge of joy.

It seems that only Grandpa's intervention can make Brother Yanchuan divorce that bitch Wenrou.

Hearing the old man repeatedly refer to a wild woman, Huo Yanchuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Grandpa, she's not the kind of person you're describing." Huo Yanchuan couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Wenrou.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, walked to the door, and opened it with a cold face.

"Brother." Huo Tingting was stunned when she saw Huo Yanchuan's face, not expecting him to open the door suddenly.

"My grandfather and I have something important to discuss, which is a military secret. You'd better leave now, or you'll be treated as a spy," Huo Yanchuan said sternly, showing her no mercy.

Huo Tingting looked at the old man inside, and seeing Huo Yanchuan's cold and serious face, she could only leave with a wronged expression.

This is also a rule of the Huo family; she has to avoid talking about anything related to military secrets whenever her grandfather and the others mention it.

She wasn't from the military region, so she couldn't listen.

Although Huo Tingting didn't know why her gentle actions involved military secrets, she had no choice but to leave in order not to be mistaken for a spy.

Once Huo Yanchuan was sure there were no people outside the door, he told the old man the truth.

He told the old man the truth, hoping he would acknowledge Wenrou's status as a member of the Huo family and the legitimacy of the child in her womb.

"You...you're telling the truth? Is she really carrying a child from the Huo family?" Old Master Huo was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly accepted it.

Huo Yanchuan nodded. "I'm sure, the child in her belly is my child, Huo Yanchuan's child."

"Good...good, our Huo family line will not end." Upon hearing this news, the old man became much more energetic, and his laughter echoed from the room.

However, when it comes to this matter, the old man still blames Huo Yanchuan for not telling him about it sooner.

"You brat, what's there to hide about this? You...you go back right now and take good care of my granddaughter-in-law and my grandson. If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive you!" The old man pointed at Huo Yanchuan and cursed.

Huo Yanchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man had accepted Wenrou and the child in her belly.

"Wenrou doesn't know about this yet. I want to handle it slowly. Please don't tell your family members yet. I will bring them back when the time is right." However, Huo Yanchuan still gave Wenrou this special instruction.

"Alright, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You brat, hurry up and bring him back to me, you hear me?"

Hearing that the old man had agreed to the request, Huo Yanchuan took advantage of his good mood and started thinking about getting TV tickets.

"Grandpa, I remember there's still a TV ticket at home. Wenrou lives alone in the family compound, and I'm worried she'll be bored. I was thinking of buying her a TV to help her pass the time."

When the old man heard that it was his granddaughter-in-law's request, he immediately agreed.

"Buy it. Take the ticket and go buy it tomorrow."
