Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 66 Huo Yanchuan personally dealt with the Zhou family.
Wen Jiguang originally thought it would be difficult to get Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers to tell the truth, but Huo Yanchuan quickly came up with a solution.
He had Xiao Cheng go to the village store and buy two pieces of candy, which tricked the two little brats into coming over.
"If you tell the truth, these two candies are still yours. If you don't, you won't have any candies left." Huo Yanchuan looked at the two of them, still holding two candies in his hand.
Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers were so tempted by the candy in Huo Yanchuan's hand that their mouths were practically watering.
They licked their lips and nodded hurriedly.
Wen Jiguang stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the two little ones, his fists clenched tightly with tension.
"Does your family dislike gentleness and not want her to be your sister-in-law?" Huo Yanchuan, being a member of the investigation team, knew what to ask first to lower their guard and how to subtly probe to get them to tell the truth.
Sure enough, the two looked at each other after hearing Huo Yanchuan's words.
Although their parents had told them not to talk about drugging Wenrou that night, they didn't tell them anything else.
So they both nodded at the same time.
"Of course, my mom said that gentleness is not good enough for my brother. She took the initiative to come to us. We don't look down on people who throw themselves at us."
"That's right. Although she bought a lot of things for the two of us, my mom also said that when my brother becomes successful in the army, he might be able to marry the daughter of a military leader. What does gentleness matter? She's just a woman from the countryside and doesn't deserve to marry into our family."
The two of them simply repeated all the things He Cuihua usually said, things she was used to saying, without realizing that they had both overheard and copied them.
"You...you...how could you..." Wen Jiguang's face turned ashen with anger upon hearing these words.
He had a fiery temper, and when he heard the Zhou family talking about his sister like that, he couldn't help but stand up and prepare to confront them.
Huo Yanchuan reached out and grabbed him. "Don't rush."
What he asked was just the beginning. There were other things the Zhou family had done to Wenrou that they hadn't revealed yet. It wouldn't be too late to settle accounts with them after everything was cleared up.
Huo Yanchuan turned to them and continued, "Did your parents ask you to keep a secret, saying that you can't tell anyone?"
Upon hearing that Huo Yanchuan even knew this, the two of them widened their eyes in surprise, and then nodded.
Huo Yanchuan knew that since the two of them were both from the Zhou family, they must have seen something. He Cuihua must have given them a heads-up beforehand, telling them not to tell anyone. So he changed his approach to asking.
"I'm here today to see if you've told anyone else. I'll ask some more detailed questions to see who can answer them."
When the two heard that Huo Yanchuan already knew, they relaxed their vigilance towards him.
Their eyes were now completely fixed on the candy in Huo Yanchuan's hand. After what they had just said, they were no longer on guard against Huo Yanchuan.
In addition, seeing the military uniform he was wearing, I knew he must be with his older brother.
"That night, after Wenrou went to your house, was it your mother who drugged her? Does your older brother know?" Huo Yanchuan finally got to the point.
Upon hearing the first question, the two nodded simultaneously, then shook their heads.
"Mom told me not to let my older brother know, so she drugged him too and made him sleep until the next morning."
Upon hearing that He Cuihua had drugged Wenrou, Wen Jiguang jumped up and slapped his head hard, his face full of regret and anger.
If he had known that the Zhou family had this in mind, he shouldn't have sent Xiaorou to the Zhou family so late at night.
Although Huo Yanchuan already knew the outcome, his face turned gloomy after hearing the real story.
"What drug did she give Wenrou? Who sent her to that little house where the spies are kept?" Huo Yanchuan gritted his teeth and continued to ask.
"What else could it be? It's a drug for breeding pigs. My mom said to feed her more so she wouldn't be able to resist. After she lost consciousness, she and my sister took Wenrou to the small house, saying that she should breed with that spy man inside so that our family could control her from then on."
After they finished talking, the two of them were so tempted that they reached out to snatch the candy from Huo Yanchuan's hand.
Huo Yanchuan's eyes turned cold, and then he suddenly stood up and threw the candy in his hand away.
People raised in a family like the Zhou family are all trash, one after another.
"Tie them both up and get Zhou Manfu over here," Huo Yanchuan coldly ordered Xiao Cheng.
He could have tolerated what they said earlier, but the last sentence made him lose his usual composure.
He could already imagine what happened without them even having to tell him.
That day, he took advantage of the woman's unconsciousness to escape. It was dark, and he didn't even have time to see her face clearly.
He assumed the other party was sent by a spy organization, so he didn't dare to stay there.
He endured his injuries and kept running, not daring to stop along the way. He didn't know how long he ran until he encountered the army who came to find him, at which point he fainted.
Afterwards, he never mentioned what happened that night to anyone, feeling ashamed to have been tricked by spies.
It wasn't until last time that he learned the woman from that night was Wenrou. In order to clear her name, he also began to slowly investigate what happened that night.
He didn't know it before, but now he can imagine it.
The next morning, after Wenrou came out of the small house, the whole village knew that she had slept with a stranger she had never met. How helpless and desperate she must have felt at that time?
At that time, she not only had to endure everyone's accusations and insults, but also felt guilty because her family members were implicated by her.
She had thought that Zhou Dayong would also dislike her, but to her surprise, he was still willing to accept her, so hope rose in her heart again.
What she didn't know was that it was all a scam by the Zhou family. Although Zhou Dayong said he didn't mind, he turned around and married someone else while he was in the army.
He later found out that she had joined the army.
"I'll go with you." Wen Jiguang was so angry after hearing what those two brats said that his face was unbearable to look at.
The Zhou family dares to bully people like this. Do they really think the Wen family is dead?
At this moment, Li Xiuying, who had heard the commotion, came out of the kitchen and saw Wen Jiguang storming out of the door.
She had been busy in the kitchen and was unaware of what was happening outside. Now, seeing this scene, she was stunned.
"What's going on? Jiguang, where are you going?"
Li Xiuying looked anxiously at Huo Yanchuan, only to hear his cold voice say, "You'll find out soon enough."
Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers were tied up at the door, crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces.
Huo Yanchuan is a member of the investigation team, and it is reasonable and legal for him to investigate the Zhou family in the name of the investigation team.
What happened here quickly attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding area, and now everyone knows that the soldier from the Wen family is Wenrou's husband.
Not only that, they came from Beijing, and the gifts they brought alone cost tens of yuan.
Isn't this much better than Zhou Dayong?
The people who were just standing around the Zhou family's door praising Zhou Manfu for having such a good son are now all praising Wen Jianshe, saying he has such a good daughter who found such a good son-in-law.
Zhou Manfu lost face, turned around and went home, and started cursing.
Just then, Wen Jiguang kicked open the Zhou family's door, startling Zhou Manfu.
Upon seeing that the person who arrived was Wen Jiguang, Zhou Manfu's expression immediately changed, and he pointed at him and cursed, "Wen Jiguang, what are you doing?"
Without saying a word, Wen Jiguang stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Manfu by the collar. "What are you doing? My sister has been so good to your Zhou family all these years, and you heartless people have done all this to her!"
Zhou Manfu was old after all, unlike Wen Jiguang who was in his prime. He was being grabbed by the collar and had no way to resist.
"Wen Jiguang, what do you mean? If you don't let go, we'll go to the village committee and let the village secretary judge this." Although Zhou Manfu said this, he was also shocked. Judging from Wen Jiguang's appearance, he probably knew something.
Hearing that he still wouldn't admit it at this point, Wen Jiguang was about to hit him when Xiao Cheng, who had arrived from behind, grabbed his arm.
"Comrade Wen, the regimental commander said that you can handle this person, and he will guarantee to give you a satisfactory explanation."
If Wen Jiguang were to take action, it would be troublesome to deal with the situation.
Seeing this, Wen Jiguang had no choice but to temporarily hand Zhou Manfu over to Xiao Cheng.
He had witnessed Huo Yanchuan's methods and hoped that with Huo Yanchuan's help, he could clear his sister's name and punish the Zhou family, this bunch of bloodsucking, black-hearted people.
With Xiao Cheng's help, Zhou Manfu was taken directly to the village brigade.
At this time, Huo Yanchuan also took the Wen family and Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers to the brigade.
This matter can only be resolved by the village party secretary. The bigger the commotion, the better it will be for Wenrou to clear her name.
The best way is to make a scene so that the whole village knows, and everyone will know what the Zhou family has been doing behind the scenes, so that everyone can see what kind of heartless and treacherous people they really are.
Soon, a crowd gathered at the entrance of the village committee building.
"What's going on? How come those two Zhou family boys have been tied up by that gentle man?"
"Look, the eldest son of the Wen family has come over with Zhou Manfu. It seems something has happened."
"Old Wen, what's going on? Why is your new son-in-law causing this mess the moment he arrives?"
Everyone looked at this scene with puzzled expressions, and some even saw Wen Jianshe asking him about the situation.
At this moment, Wen Jianshe was also puzzled, but when he heard Jiguang say that it was related to Xiaorou, he had some guesses in his heart.
His brows were furrowed as he stood silently at the entrance of the brigade.
Li Xiuying was completely bewildered by her new son-in-law's actions. She nudged Wen Jianshe and asked curiously, "What do you think Xiao Huo is up to? Why did he kidnap Zhou Manfu?"
Wen Jianshe glared at her, then said coldly, "You'll find out soon enough."
Standing next to Li Xiuying, Liu Yan also curled her lips, thinking to herself, "This man really knows how to stir up trouble."
When Zhou Manfu arrived, he saw that his two youngest sons were tied up, and his face turned cold.
"What do you mean by this? Why did you arrest my son? They're just children. Why are you Wen family members bullying two children?"
The village party secretary also came over at this time, and he looked at Huo Yanchuan with a puzzled expression.
"Comrade soldier, what are you trying to do?"
Huo Yanchuan took out his investigation team ID card, showed it to the village secretary, and then said with a serious expression, "I am from the investigation team. I am here today because of the spy that your village arrested a few months ago."
Once he said that, everyone understood.
"That's true, but you should go find the Wen family's daughter; she even slept with that spy."
At that moment, someone shouted from the crowd, and then Huo Yanchuan's cold, dagger-like eyes shot over.
That person was too quick to speak. Only after she finished speaking did she realize that the man was Wenrou's current husband. She even said that he slept with a spy. Wasn't she just trying to cause trouble?
However, it is also true that Wenrou slept with that spy.
Zhou Manfu finally realized what was happening and shouted, "That's right! If you're going to look for someone, you should look for Wenrou. Why are you kidnapping my two sons?"
Huo Yanchuan looked at him, sneered, then glanced at the village secretary and the others, and said coldly, "Is that so? Then how come I heard from your two sons that it was your Zhou family who drugged Wenrou? She was already unconscious when she was sent to the small house. How could she be connected with spies?"
Huo Yanchuan revealed the truth of the matter in front of everyone, and the people present fell silent.
Zhou Manfu looked visibly flustered, and even began to stammer.
"You...you...how can you take what a child says seriously? You need to provide evidence for what you're saying."
Zhou Manfu looked at his two youngest sons, feeling extremely guilty.
"If your Zhou family didn't do this, what are you feeling guilty about?" At this moment, Wen Jiguang, who was standing to the side, also asked.
His face was filled with anger; if Huo Yanchuan hadn't stopped him, he probably would have rushed over and beaten Zhou Manfu long ago.
Huo Yanchuan walked towards the two brats, his eyes sharp as blades.
"What you just said, tell everyone now. If you dare to tell even a single lie, it won't be as simple as just being tied up."
Those two brats were already so scared they wet their pants. They had never seen anything like this before. When Huo Yanchuan gave them that look, they immediately told the truth.
"Yes...it was my mom who told me not to say it. She was the one who drugged Wenrou and sent her to the small house."
"Yes, yes, we've already told you, can you please let us go?"
Although the two are young, they are both in elementary school, so you can't disbelieve what they say.
"You...you two brats, I..." Zhou Manfu was furious that his son had exposed this matter. He glared at them angrily, thinking that he had wasted his time raising these two little brats.
Seeing that Zhou Manfu still refused to admit it, Huo Yanchuan walked over and kicked him hard to the ground.
He then looked at Xiao Cheng and sternly ordered, "Notify the brothers in the investigation team that Zhou Manfu's entire family in Qingwan Village is connected with spies. If anyone is close to Zhou Manfu's family, bring them back for a thorough investigation."
