Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 8 suggests I marry him.
Wenrou stayed in the hospital for two days. After being discharged, she did not rush back home. Instead, she went to the savings bank and deposited all the money Zhou Dayong had given her.
Remembering that her things were still at Zhou Dayong's house, she went back to the family compound again.
She originally planned to take her things and leave, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got to Zhou Dayong's door, she would sense that something was wrong.
Before she could even step inside, a familiar voice came from within.
"Xiaorou, you're finally back?"
Hearing the voice, Wenrou looked surprised. "Mom, Big Brother, what are you doing here?"
Wen Jiguang looked at Wenrou and gave her a wink, telling her to talk to her mother properly later.
Wenrou knew that her older brother had always doted on her. It was because she liked Zhou Dayong that he helped her persuade her parents to let her marry him.
She knew that her older brother had always been on her side, and she hadn't had a chance to tell them that she had come to the army to see Zhou Dayong.
I didn't expect them to get the news so quickly and come over.
"You still remember I'm your mother? How could you make such a big decision like breaking off the engagement without even discussing it with us? Don't you even respect me as your mother?" Li Hongxia was furious at her daughter's disgraceful behavior.
"The Zhou family not only didn't mind all the foolish things you did in the past, but they were also willing to treat you like their own daughter. Why did you give up your good life and come to the army to cause trouble?"
After learning from the Zhou family that Wenrou had come to the army, Li Hongxia hurriedly brought her eldest son over.
She was afraid that Wenrou would do something foolish again, but despite her haste, she was still too late.
When Li Hongxia saw Zhou Dayong produce the letter announcing the annulment of the engagement, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Our family's reputation is ruined because of you. Now the whole village is talking behind our backs, saying that the daughter I, Li Hongxia, raised is a worthless slut. Your eldest and second brothers can't even find wives now, and you've broken off your engagement with Dayong. When we go back, won't we, the old couple, be drowned in spit?"
Wenrou felt utterly cold inside as she listened to her own mother's words.
"Breaking off the engagement with Zhou Dayong was my own decision, it has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, even if I die out there, I never thought of going back to implicate your family." Wenrou said to Li Hongxia with a stubborn look on her face.
She originally planned to go back and have a good talk with her family, to let them know what kind of people the Zhou family really are.
Unexpectedly, her parents didn't care about any of that; they only cared about bringing shame to the family.
In their eyes, since Zhou Dayong still wanted her, she had to be grateful to the Zhou family.
"You..." Li Hongxia was so angry at Wenrou's words that she slapped her hard across the face.
"Mom, didn't you promise me that you would talk to Xiaorou properly after you came? Why did you hit her?" Wen Jiguang quickly stepped forward to stop Li Hongxia.
"Xiao Rou, are you alright?" Wen Jiguang felt sorry for Wen Rou when he saw that she had been slapped.
Li Hongxia's slap completely chilled Wenrou's heart.
The numb pain on her face brought her to a complete state of wakefulness; from now on, she would have to rely on herself for the rest of her life.
"We've already fought and cursed, and the annulment of my engagement with Zhou Dayong is a done deal. You can leave now," Wenrou said coldly.
"What...what kind of attitude is this? You..."
Li Hongxia was so angry at Wenrou's behavior that she raised her hand as if to hit her again.
However, at that moment, Wenrou was pulled to the side by a large hand, and her slap missed its mark.
When Huo Yanchuan heard that Wenrou had been discharged from the hospital, he thought he would come over to see if she had left. He didn't expect to see this scene right at the door.
If he hadn't been quick enough to pull her back, she would definitely have gotten another slap.
"This is a military family compound. Even if you want to hit someone, you should consider the place." Huo Yanchuan looked at Li Hongxia and Wen Jiguang with a cold face.
"What's it to you if I'm disciplining my daughter? Who are you? Mind your own business!" Li Hongxia said, looking at Huo Yanchuan who had suddenly appeared, regardless of who he was.
"I am Zhou Dayong's superior. I don't care what you do outside, but this is the military, and it concerns me."
Huo Yanchuan spoke in a serious tone, his words carrying a strong sense of intimidation, which made Li Hongxia tone down her arrogance somewhat.
"You treat your own daughter like this for that trash Zhou Dayong? Do you even deserve to be a mother?" He had overheard Li Hongxia's words outside, and for some reason, he, who usually wouldn't meddle in other people's business, suddenly spoke up for a woman he had only met a few times.
Hearing Huo Yanchuan speak up for her, Wenrou looked at him in surprise.
With Huo Yanchuan's intervention, people quickly came and drove Li Hongxia and Wen Jiguang out.
As Wen Jiguang left, he didn't forget to slip two large bills into Wenrou's hand, saying with some concern, "Xiaorou, don't blame your parents. Take good care of yourself. Write to me if anything happens."
Wenrou clutched the money Wen Jiguang had given her, feeling only aggrieved.
If even her closest family members don't understand her, who else can she rely on?
Wenrou went back into the house, packed her things, and prepared to leave.
However, as she reached the door, she began to feel lost again.
She had actually planned to go home, but now, her family's attitude has made her give up on that idea.
These days, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere. Besides, there are two children in her belly. Li Hongxia's slap just now made her think about a lot of things.
Even if she can raise two children, they will definitely face discrimination since they were born without a father. They will become unregistered residents, and their schooling will be a problem.
She had only thought about breaking off her engagement with Zhou Dayong before, and hadn't thought about these things in detail.
Pregnancy before marriage will be met with disdain everywhere. She is not afraid of hardship, but she is afraid that her two children will suffer because of her.
"Don't know where to go?" A voice came from that moment.
Wenrou looked up and saw that Huo Yanchuan had arrived at some point.
"Commander Huo, thank you for what you did earlier." Wenrou felt very grateful when she thought about how Huo Yanchuan had spoken up for her.
"No need to thank me. I'm helping you out of my own self-interest. If you don't know where to go, I can give you a suggestion." Huo Yanchuan looked at Wenrou, his words carrying a hint of seriousness.
"What?" Wenrou asked instinctively.
She thought to herself that Commander Huo was a really good person. They had only met a few times, but he had helped her so much. She didn't know how to repay this favor.
However, just as she finished thinking this, she heard Huo Yanchuan speak again from the side.
"It's simple, marry me."
