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

Wenrou glanced at the list of applicants and discovered that Shen Qingshuang's name was also on it.

With the completion of the new school, the number of applicants has increased significantly.

Wenrou took the list and did a preliminary screening, thinking that she would have to discuss it with Peng Xiaowan later.

Although Shen Qingshuang wasn't a very good person, she was a high school graduate, which made her one of the more educated people among them, so Wenrou kept her application form.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the door.

Wenrou went out to see what was happening when she heard the noise, and saw that Aunt Zhu next door was arguing with someone.

Wang's sister-in-law was trying to break up the fight, but seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, the women's director, Wang Yanping, also came over to mediate.

Wenrou has been busy building the school lately and hasn't paid much attention to things at the compound, so she does find the other person somewhat unfamiliar.

Seeing Wang's wife approaching, Wenrou asked疑惑地问道, "Sister-in-law, who is that person? I've never seen him before?"

"That's the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Wu, who just arrived in our compound. You're not usually home, so you don't know how formidable she is. She's caused quite a bit of trouble since she first came to our compound."

"Deputy Battalion Commander Wu, are you talking about Wu Li?" Wenrou had heard Huo Yanchuan say that Wu Li had been promoted to deputy battalion commander, but she didn't expect him to move into the family compound with his family so soon.

Wu Li was the platoon leader who used to drive a truck to transport goods for the troops. Wen Rou also played a part in his promotion to deputy battalion commander.

However, in addition to him and Zhou Dayong, Hao Gang was also promoted to battalion commander this time.

These days, several women in the family compound have been trying to introduce potential partners to Hao Gang.

He was a good candidate, and at a young age he was promoted to battalion commander, so his future was limitless.

In addition, he is good-looking with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his character is impeccable.

Seeing that he was getting on in years, the women in the family compound were even more worried than his own family.

Hao Gang has been getting annoyed by the constant marriage-urging letters from his family these past few days. He wasn't so opposed to marriage before, but after what happened with Zhou Chunmei, he developed a psychological trauma.

According to Sister Wang, the reason why Aunt Zhu and Battalion Commander Wu's wife had a dispute this time was because of Hao Gang's marriage.

Aunt Zhu saw potential in Hao Gang and decided to introduce her niece to him.

Coincidentally, her niece and Battalion Commander Wu's wife were from the same village.

Aunt Zhu's niece has a bad reputation in the village. She's lazy, greedy, and has a bad temper. She's almost twenty-eight and still not married.

So when Deputy Battalion Commander Wu's wife casually remarked that she was like a toad trying to eat swan meat, the two started arguing.

Not only Aunt Zhu, but even Wang Yanping wanted to introduce her younger sister to Hao Gang.

Her younger sister, Wang Liping, has been staying in the family compound these days because she is visiting relatives. Wenrou has met her a few times, but they are not close, so she didn't greet her.

However, she remembered that Wang Liping's name was among those who signed up.

Aunt Zhu didn't want Hao Gang, this coveted prize, to be snatched away, so she quickly wrote a letter to her younger brother, asking her niece to come over as soon as possible.

Sister-in-law Wang knew what kind of person her mother-in-law's niece was and had thought about stopping her from coming over, but every time the topic came up, her mother-in-law would argue with her.

In the end, she simply gave up. When her niece was rejected by others, she would behave herself.

Although it was Wenrou's first time meeting Wu's deputy battalion commander's wife, she was quite impressed by her straightforward and outspoken nature.

Huo Yanchuan didn't come back at noon, but he asked Hao Gang to bring her lunch.

It was still the same few dishes she liked to eat. It has to be said that Huo Yanchuan is getting to know her tastes better and better.

She's been busy with school matters these past few days, and Huo Yanchuan seems to be busy with military exercises and training, coming home late at night. To be honest, although they live together, they haven't seen each other for several days.

"Have you guys been training this busy lately?" Wenrou asked, not seeing Huo Yanchuan.

Hao Gang nodded. "The regimental commander is going to lead troops in military exercises soon, and he may be busy for another month. However, he has already told me to bring you food during this time so that you and the child won't go hungry."

Wenrou had considered cooking for herself, but she was very busy every day. Huo Yanchuan couldn't bear to see her so tired, so he paid extra for her meals at the military canteen and had someone bring her food every day.

Now, Wenrou has completely entrusted the task of hauling water to the family compound to Squad Leader Ma.

So now, besides being busy with school matters, I occasionally go to the military base to give lectures, and my days are fulfilling and fulfilling.

"Sister-in-law, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Hao Gang left after delivering the food.

Wenrou thanked him gently, thinking to herself that Hao Gang was indeed a pretty good person; no wonder so many aunties in the compound wanted to introduce him to potential partners.

After finishing her meal, she took a nap and woke up in the afternoon.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Wang Yanping's voice from outside, "Hey girl, are you home?"

Upon hearing that it was Wang Yanping, she gently walked over and opened the door.

To her surprise, not only Wang Yanping came, but also her sister Wang Liping.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Wenrou was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

Seeing this, Wang Yanping looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I do have something to discuss with you."

Seeing her like this, Wenrou let them in.

"This is a gentle girl, the wife of Commander Huo from our compound," Wang Yanping introduced to Wang Liping as she entered the room.

Wang Liping looked Wenrou up and down, and then said in a very impolite way, "I know you."

Everyone in the compound knew that Huo Yanchuan was infertile, and seeing Wenrou's belly growing bigger every day, it was impossible to hide it from anyone.

It's obvious without even thinking that the child in her belly has nothing to do with Huo Yanchuan; it's another man's child.

Although her gentleness was evident to everyone in the compound and earned their admiration.

But in the end, this compound was inhabited entirely by women, and where there are many women, there is much gossip and trouble.

A woman's reputation is the most important thing. If a gentle person has a bad reputation, it will be difficult for others to respect her from the bottom of their heart.

Wang Liping heard about Wenrou's situation as soon as she entered the compound, so she never had a good impression of her.

What kind of respectable family would someone who engages in promiscuous relationships before marriage be from?

Seeing her attitude, Wenrou's expression didn't change much, but a chill had already crept into her heart.

If it weren't for Wang Yanping's sake, she wouldn't have welcomed such an impolite person into the house at all.

"I'm sorry, gentle girl, my little sister is spoiled by her family. She's not usually like this. Please don't mind her."

Wang Yanping also noticed the awkward atmosphere, so she quickly explained to Wenrou.

Wenrou shook her head gently. "Did you come to see me because of something?"

Since Wenrou had already said that, Wang Yanping had no choice but to tell her her purpose.

"Hey girl, your Commander Huo and Deputy Battalion Commander Hao are really close. I just saw Deputy Battalion Commander Hao bring you food. I noticed he's still single. My little sister's also getting on in years, could you play matchmaker and find out what Deputy Battalion Commander Hao thinks?"

Wenrou then realized that Wang Yanping wanted her to act as a matchmaker between Hao Gang and Wang Liping.

She wasn't really interested in this thankless task anyway, and besides, she didn't have a good first impression of Wang Liping, so she could only go through the motions.

"Sister-in-law, free love is all the rage these days. I can ask him if he wants someone to arrange a marriage for him. If he doesn't, then there's nothing I can do."

Wang Yanping was about to thank Wenrou for her help when she heard Wang Liping say with a displeased look, "What do you mean by this? If you don't want to help, fine, it's not hard to make a connection. Do you have to be so dismissive?"

For her, being gentle was just a matter of a word; she didn't even want to mention herself in front of Hao Gang, which ultimately meant she didn't want to help.

How can her relationship with Hao Gang possibly work out in this way?

Wenrou sneered when she heard this.

"If you're so capable, go after him yourself. If Deputy Battalion Commander Hao is interested in you, then you're certainly capable."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Yanping and refused directly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I can't help you with this."

At this moment, Wang Yanping's expression was also somewhat embarrassed. After hearing Wenrou's words, she didn't know what to say anymore, so she could only pull Wang Liping away.

"Big sister, why did you pull me here? Judging by her appearance, she's probably got her eye on Deputy Battalion Commander Hao, which is why she's unwilling to play matchmaker for me," Wang Liping said with a dissatisfied look after leaving the room.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't say things like that. That gentle girl isn't like that at all." Wang Yanping quickly stopped her from continuing.

"What's there to be afraid of? She's already done it, why should she be afraid of what people will say? She was pregnant with another man's child and married Commander Huo, which shows she's morally corrupt. Does she think everyone is like her, able to pursue any man they fancy? Wouldn't that make me lose all face?"

Wang Liping's words were quite significant, and Peng Xiaowan, who had come to find Wenrou, overheard them.

Upon hearing her speak so gently, Peng Xiaowan immediately went up to argue with her.

"What makes you say that about Xiaorou? You don't even know her."

Wang Liping looked at Peng Xiaowan, and upon hearing her speak up for Wenrou, she joined in the mockery.

"You and that gentle girl get along so well? I bet you're one of those sluts who can't move her legs when she sees a man?"

Peng Xiaowan doesn't usually argue with people, but when she heard Wang Liping's words getting more and more offensive, she got so angry that her face turned red.

She doesn't resort to insults, except when it comes to reasoning with the other person.

"Why...why are you speaking so rudely? Don't you know how to respect people?"

"Respect you? People like you deserve respect?"

"..."

Just as Peng Xiaowan was arguing with Wang Liping, her face flushed, Hao Gang happened to appear at the door.

He spotted Peng Xiaowan immediately. They hadn't seen each other since he dropped Peng Xiaowan off at her destination last time.

He was surprised when he learned that Peng Xiaowan was Professor Peng's niece.

Seeing Peng Xiaowan blushing and arguing with the other person in order to help Wenrou, Hao Gang couldn't help but find it rather cute.

At this moment, Wang Liping also saw Hao Gang.

She paused slightly, her expression from arguing with Peng Xiaowan vanished, replaced by a shy smile, and even tidied her hair.

She glanced at Wang Yanping, gesturing for her to go over and ask.

Seeing this, Wang Yanping lifted her foot and walked towards Hao Gang.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Hao, are you here to deliver food to Regiment Commander Huo's wife again?" she greeted Hao Gang.

Hearing the sound, Hao Gang came to his senses, looked at Wang Yanping, and smiled politely.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go deliver the food."

After he finished speaking, he glanced in Peng Xiaowan's direction again.

Peng Xiaowan turned her head to face Hao Gang and didn't notice him.

When Wang Liping saw Hao Gang looking in their direction, she assumed he was looking at her, so she lowered her head and smiled even more shyly.

Seeing that Hao Gang was about to leave, Wang Yanping chased after him.

"Hey bro, I heard you're single. How about your wife introduces you to someone?"

Hao Gang was already used to his aunts and sisters-in-law trying to set him up with potential partners, so he refused without a second thought.

"No need, sister-in-law, I don't have any plans to get married right now. Let's talk about it later."

Hearing this, Wang Yanping still refused to give up, saying, "How can that be? A man should settle down and get married early. Once he has a wife, someone will warm his bed, cook for him, and give him a healthy baby. That's how you live a happy life."

For some reason, Hao Gang couldn't help but laugh when he heard about warming the bed and cooking, as he couldn't help but recall the image of Peng Xiaowan arguing with someone until her face turned red.

If I were to marry someone as lovely as him, life would probably be quite nice.

"You're right, sister-in-law, but I've been too busy lately. Let's talk about it after I'm done with these few days," Hao Gang said, taking the lunchbox to find Wenrou.

Peng Xiaowan also noticed Hao Gang at this moment, but she only saw Hao Gang's back.

Seeing that he had gone to Wenrou's house, he didn't go in again and turned back.

After delivering the food, Hao Gang stood at the door and glanced into the yard. Not seeing Peng Xiaowan, he looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Wenrou asked, looking at him like that.

"I just saw someone arguing heatedly with another person at the door. She was probably looking for you, so why did she go back?"

Hao Gang thought he would see Peng Xiaowan, so he waited for a while and didn't leave in a hurry. He didn't expect that she had already gone back.

"Who's looking for me?" Wenrou asked, looking puzzled.

"That's Professor Peng's niece. I was the one who brought them over last time."

"Xiao Wan?" Wenrou was also stunned when she heard that Peng Xiao Wan had just arrived.

She knew Peng Xiaowan's personality; she would never argue with anyone. If she could argue with someone until she was red in the face, it must be because the other person had said something too outrageous.

However, she didn't expect Hao Gang to know so much about Peng Xiaowan.

So she subconsciously teased, "Why are you so concerned about Xiao Wan's affairs? Could it be that you're interested in her?"

Hao Gang's face flushed red when he heard Wenrou's words.

"No...no, sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

He said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, I'll go now. I'll bring you food again tomorrow."

Perhaps fearing that Wenrou would ask him about his relationship with Peng Xiaowan again, Hao Gang hurriedly slipped away.

Seeing his expression, Wenrou knew without a doubt that he had taken a liking to Xiaowan.
