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

Chapter 85 The future richest tycoon recognizes her as his younger sister

Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou had just returned to their family compound when they were summoned to the military base.

They were away from home for more than half a month this time, and they had already finished eating all the food at home.

Fortunately, when she passed through a town along the way, she bought some rice, noodles, meat, eggs, and some vegetables, which was enough to last her for a while.

After tidying up the house, Wenrou hurried to the fields.

During the days she was away, I had to trouble Professor Peng to keep an eye on her.

She was still a little uneasy about leaving it to someone else.

Seeing that the mycelium in the ground was growing well, she was finally relieved.

Thinking about how Professor Peng had been helping her look after the fields all this time, she realized how hard he had worked.

So Wenrou carried the meat and eggs, ready to go see him.

She had just reached the village entrance when she heard the news that Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan had come to reunite with their relatives.

Wenrou was very happy for them after learning about this.

However, just as she arrived at Professor Peng's door, she ran into Zhou Chunmei.

These past few days, Zhou Chunmei has been coming over to talk to Peng Xiaowan whenever she has something to do.

Although at first Peng Xiaowan listened to Professor Peng's advice and tried to stay away from Zhou Chunmei.

However, Zhou Chunmei was very good at handling things, and Peng Xiaowan was new to the area and not very familiar with the surroundings.

With Zhou Chunmei's help, his opinion of her gradually changed.

In addition, Zhou Chunmei always complained to Peng Xiaowan about how difficult her life was, and how Guo Qiang would come home drunk every day and beat her.

Hearing her talk about these things, and the bruises on her body, Peng Xiaowan, as a woman, gradually felt sympathy for her.

"Zhou Chunmei, what are you doing here?" Wenrou asked, her expression turning cold.

"If you can come, why can't I?" Zhou Chunmei looked at Wenrou with a defiant look in her eyes.

Wenrou thinks she's omnipotent, and even said she'd help Professor Peng find his son.

Now that their son and niece have come knocking on the door, she's only showing up now. How shameless of her!

Wenrou had no idea what Zhou Chunmei was up to, and didn't have time to pay attention to her. She lifted her foot to go in, but Zhou Chunmei blocked her way.

"Now that Brother Peng and Xiao Wan are taking care of Professor Peng, you are no longer needed. You should go back."

She looked gently at Zhou Chunmei and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

Has Zhou Chunmei lost her mind? How dare she come here?

Aunt Song hasn't settled the score with her yet, and she really thinks this matter is over?

Zhou Chunmei, relying on her good relationship with Peng Xiaowan, no longer respects Wenrou.

"I'm Wenrou, whom Aunt Song herself acknowledged as her goddaughter. You're an outsider; you wouldn't actually consider yourself a member of the Peng family, would you?"

Zhou Chunmei crossed her arms and looked at Wenrou with a mocking smile.

Just then, Peng Xiaowan's voice came from inside.

"What are you doing here?"

She heard voices at the door, and when she came out, she saw Wenrou and Zhou Chunmei standing at the door talking about something.

Seeing that Wenrou was alright, Peng Xiaowan rushed forward excitedly.

"Xiaorou, are you feeling better?"

Wenrou nodded gently at her. "Yes, it's all over now."

"That's great, come in quickly." Peng Xiaowan said, pulling Wenrou along as they walked into the house, completely forgetting Zhou Chunmei who was still standing to the side.

Zhou Chunmei was stunned when she saw this.

Wenrou just got back, so when did her relationship with Peng Xiaowan become so good?

"Xiao Wan." Zhou Chunmei called out hurriedly when she saw that Peng Xiao Wan was ignoring her.

Upon hearing the sound, Peng Xiaowan turned around and then remembered Zhou Chunmei.

"Chunmei, I'm sorry about today. You should go back now. I'll talk to you another day."

After she finished speaking, ignoring Zhou Chunmei's unpleasant expression, she excitedly called out to the inside, "Brother, Uncle, Xiaorou is here."

Upon hearing the sound, Peng Shao hurriedly came out and indeed saw Wenrou.

Seeing that she was alright, he was relieved.

Professor Peng's face lit up with joy when he saw Wenrou.

"Xiao Rou is here, come in quickly."

"Uncle Peng, thank you for taking care of the mushrooms in the field while I was away." Wenrou said gently, taking everything she was carrying inside.

"Why say all this? If I should thank you, I should thank you the most for helping me find my son and niece, so that my family can be reunited." When talking about this, Professor Peng looked at her with gentle eyes full of gratitude.

Actually, when Wenrou said she would help them find their son, he didn't have much hope at all.

But unexpectedly, he would see them again in his lifetime.

Wenrou was a great benefactor to their family. What he did was nothing compared to the help Wenrou had given them.

Wenrou hadn't seen Professor Peng so happy in a long time, but she also felt sorry for Aunt Song.

If she hadn't left so early, perhaps she would have been able to see her son with her own eyes.

When it comes to Aunt Song's story, she always felt there was something fishy about it.

However, she has been too busy lately and hasn't had time to investigate.

Seeing the Peng family's attitude towards Wenrou, Zhou Chunmei's expression changed instantly.

She never expected that Wenrou had known Peng Shao and the others for a long time, and from what they said, it seemed that Wenrou really had helped Professor Peng find his son.

How is that possible?

Zhou Chunmei was unwilling to accept it. She had spent so many days and finally managed to get on good terms with Peng Xiaowan. She was just about to get closer to Peng Shao when Wenrou, that bitch, ruined her plans.

Did Wenrou have a grudge against her in a past life? Why does she have to meddle in everything?

Zhou Chunmei glared fiercely at Wenrou, her eyes filled with hatred.

She would never give up on Peng Shao. Wenrou dared to ruin her plans time and time again; she would never let her off the hook.

Seeing that there was no point in going in now, Zhou Chunmei had no choice but to turn back and think of another way.

Wenrou glanced at the doorway and, seeing that Zhou Chunmei had left, asked, "What happened with Zhou Chunmei just now? Has she been coming over often these past few days?"

Seeing the way Zhou Chunmei and Peng Xiaowan looked earlier, Wenrou seemed a little worried, so she asked them about it.

"Yes, she said she was my aunt's goddaughter and talked a lot about my cousin's childhood. We got to know each other after a while."

Peng Xiaowan was unaware of the past between Wenrou and Zhou Chunmei, so she recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Wenrou's expression darkened slightly. She looked at Professor Peng, knowing that he was not the type to gossip behind people's backs.

He especially didn't want to get involved in these matters between women, and he certainly hadn't told them about the things Zhou Chunmei had done in the past.

"Zhou Chunmei is a wicked person, don't be fooled by her."

Wenrou didn't know how good Peng Xiaowan and Zhou Chunmei's relationship was now, and she wasn't one to sow discord, so she just mentioned it briefly.

As for Zhou Chunmei's character, they only need to ask around in the village to find out.

So she didn't say much. How to handle it was up to Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan.

Just then, Peng Shao spoke up, "I've heard that you're the only goddaughter my mother has ever recognized. So, in that sense, I'm your brother too."

Wenrou heard the voice and looked up at him.

He was right, but under those circumstances, if she hadn't agreed, Aunt Song wouldn't have felt at ease.

Furthermore, she is not the type to take advantage of others. What makes her so special that she would acknowledge a future billionaire as her brother?

"Those were just words I used to comfort Aunt Song. Now that your family is reunited, there's nothing more for me to do."

Hearing how eager she was to sever ties with the Peng family, a faint sense of disappointment flashed in Peng Shao's eyes.

He took the pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to Wenrou.

"Since this is something you promised my mother, you have to keep your word. This is something she gave you, so it belongs to you."

Wenrou looked at the pocket watch and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, that's not right. It's the only thing Aunt Song left behind. You are her family. I can't take this pocket watch."

Peng Shao frowned when he saw her making such a refusal, and then stuffed the pocket watch into her hand.

"If you don't want my mother to be restless in the afterlife, take this pocket watch."

Peng Shao's assertiveness startled Wenrou. She looked up at him and saw his serious and determined expression, so she had no choice but to put the pocket watch away again.

"Now that Mother has recognized you as her goddaughter, I will be your elder brother from now on. Whether you acknowledge it or not, I have already accepted you as my younger sister." Peng Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wenrou take the pocket watch, and then continued to speak.

"Yes, Xiaorou, just say yes. You're such a good person, your aunt must like you, that's why she wants you to be her goddaughter," Peng Xiaowan said, trying to persuade her.

Seeing that they had all said so, Wenrou realized that it wouldn't be right for her to refuse again, so she could only nod in agreement.

Besides, even without Aunt Song's connection, there's still Huo Yanchuan.

By all accounts, Peng Shao is Huo Yanchuan's cousin, and she is Huo Yanchuan's wife, so she'll have to call him "brother" eventually.

Anyway, no matter what, the premise that the future richest man is her brother can't be changed.

"That's great, Xiaorou. I'm a few months older than you, so you'll be my little sister from now on," Peng Xiaowan said happily, holding Wenrou's hand.

Wenrou smiled gently at her and called out, "Sister Xiaowan."

"Little Rou, from now on we're all family."

Peng Xiaowan was naturally very happy to have such a gentle and wonderful younger sister.

Wenrou didn't go back at noon and stayed at the Peng family's house until the afternoon.

When Huo Yanchuan returned in the afternoon, he didn't see Wenrou. After inquiring, he learned that Wenrou had gone to Professor Peng's house, so he also prepared to go and check on her.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a gentle laugh.

He was a little puzzled, wondering what could make him so happy?

He arrived at the door, knocked, and the door was quickly opened.

To his surprise, the person who opened the door was Peng Shao? The man who had appeared at the state-run restaurant with Wenrou last time.

Seeing Peng Shao there, Huo Yanchuan's expression darkened slightly.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his tone laced with accusation and wariness.

Just then, Wenrou, who had heard the voice, came over.

Seeing the confusion on Huo Yanchuan's face, she introduced him: "This is Peng Shao, Professor Peng's son. They just reunited a few days ago."

"Yan Chuan, you're here. Come in quickly." Professor Peng greeted Huo Yan Chuan when he saw him.

As he spoke, he began to introduce the topic to his son.

"Xiao Shao, this is Huo Yanchuan, your aunt's son. He's a year younger than you and is your cousin."

"Auntie?" Peng Shao was also a little stunned when he looked at Huo Yanchuan in front of him.

He had heard his mother mention his aunt before, only saying that they used to have a good relationship, but had lost contact for several years due to some misunderstandings.

I never expected to hear about my aunt here.

What surprised him even more was that his gentle husband turned out to be his aunt's son.

After all these twists and turns, I never expected they would actually be family.

"Cousin." Huo Yanchuan looked at Peng Shao, his eyes narrowed slightly, then a smile appeared on his lips as he politely greeted Peng Shao.

The wariness I felt towards Peng Shao, who seemed like a rival in love, has dissipated somewhat.

Peng Shao stood there, his expression still somewhat stunned, as if he hadn't expected Huo Yanchuan to accept it so easily.

"It's understandable that you cousins ​​haven't seen each other for so many years and aren't familiar with each other. You can get to know each other gradually in the future," Professor Peng said from the side.

"Yes, Uncle is right. I will have a good talk with my cousin," Huo Yanchuan replied.

Peng Shao's expression returned to normal at this moment. He glanced at Huo Yanchuan, then looked at Wenrou beside him. As a man, he had just felt Huo Yanchuan's hostility towards him.

He sighed inwardly, regretting that he had met her too late.

Wenrou noticed that the two brothers were sitting together and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She also knew that neither of them were outgoing or talkative people.

Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to Professor Peng and the others, and then went back with Huo Yanchuan.

On the way back, Peng Shao remembered that Wenrou had gone to inquire about Huo Yanchuan's condition, so he kindly reminded him, "Cousin, if you have any health problems, you should go see a doctor in person. You can't ignore your illness and avoid seeking medical treatment. It's not easy for Wenrou to go to such lengths for you."

On the way back, Huo Yanchuan kept thinking about Peng Shao's words. He looked at Wenrou and thought about his own physical problems. Apart from the fact that everyone knew he couldn't have children, he really couldn't think of anything else.

So Wenrou's inquiry about his condition stemmed from her concern about his infertility.

Now even Peng Shao knows about this?

Thinking of this, Huo Yanchuan felt a lump in his throat. He looked at Wenrou, hesitated, and then asked, "You've been to Professor Peng's hometown. What did the doctor there say?"

"Huh?" Wenrou was taken aback when Huo Yanchuan suddenly brought up this matter, and looked up at him.

"What treatment did the doctor say I needed?" Huo Yanchuan asked again.

When Wenrou realized that Huo Yanchuan already knew, she hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "He said... your illness might be a psychological problem. A mental illness requires a mental cure, so we need to find the root cause of the mental illness first."
