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

Wang Yanping's family is large, and they have already eaten most of the food they bought for the Chinese New Year.

These days, they eat corn porridge with pickled vegetables every day, and their mouths are so bland that they have no taste at all.

Not only is she not getting enough to eat, but the children are hungry every day.

Seeing the meat bun in Wenrou's hand, the aroma made her unable to resist.

She looked at Wenrou and said somewhat shyly, "Little sister, I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have doubted you."

Wenrou looked at Wang Yanping and thought about how she had kindly reminded her before, only to be rebuffed by her. She had already decided not to associate with her anymore.

Such a person is not worth getting close to.

Wenrou had already anticipated seeing her come to apologize to her in such a humble manner.

However, she still asked politely, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Wenrou had asked this, Wang Yanping shamelessly said, "Sister, we don't know when this blizzard will stop. We're running out of food. Could you lend us some? Don't worry, I'll pay you back double when this blizzard stops."

Wang Yanping was truly desperate; otherwise, she wouldn't have swallowed her pride and come to Wenrou to borrow money.

She knows that Gentle and Kindness is what she was like when she lent her water last time.

She thought that since she had already said that, she would definitely lend it to him, but she didn't expect to hear Wenrou refuse directly.

"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law. You see, I'm pregnant now, and my appetite has increased a lot. We don't even have enough food for myself, so I really don't have any extra to lend you."

Wenrou leaned against the door frame, holding a meat bun in her hand, and even took a bite in front of Wang Yanping.

Wang Yanping's expression changed immediately upon hearing these words.

She clearly saw that Wenrou had stockpiled so much food before, so it wouldn't matter if she ate a little less.

Their family was truly desperate, and they never expected her to be so heartless as to refuse to lend them even a single grain of food.

"Sister-in-law, I have no other choice. I can't let the children go hungry, and besides, I'm pregnant with twins. What if other people come to borrow from me if I lend them to your family?"

She spoke gently, feigning a troubled expression.

"There are so many people in this compound. If everyone came to borrow from me, where would I get so many things to give?"

"Then...then I'll think of another way." Wang Yanping's face was very pale at this moment, so she had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Wenrou slammed the door shut and went back to watching TV.

She had warned them before, but they didn't believe her and even mocked and ridiculed her. Now that they've encountered problems, it's too late to regret it.

She had no connection with the other people in the compound. What she said was true; the grain she had stored was only enough for her and Huo Yanchuan, and there was nothing left over.

If she lends the money to them, what will she eat?

She wasn't that saintly. She had already helped Wang Yanping once before, but the woman quickly forgot and started gossiping behind her back.

The story of Wang Liping had spread throughout the compound. Although Wang Yanping didn't say anything to Wenrou's face, she privately exaggerated and spoke ill of her to many people.

She never wants to deal with this kind of person again.

Like Wang Yanping, others also tried to borrow things from Wenrou, but she always refused them.

The blizzard lasted for more than ten days, and the roads were blocked by the blizzard, so the people in the compound could not go out to buy things.

Even if someone goes to town to help buy things, it will cost an exorbitant price.

Even the cheapest grain flour, cornmeal, is now selling for several times more than white rice and white flour.

Cabbage and potatoes, which are usually staples in every household, are now unaffordable for many.

But to fill their stomachs, they had no choice but to spend several times the usual amount of money to buy the cheapest items.

They were heartbroken to spend this money.

If they had known it would turn out like this, they should have stocked up on more things like Wenrou did.

Now that they've spent so much money, all they can buy is a tiny amount of stuff. It's making them incredibly frustrated.

In the compound, every household had begun to eat coarse food and wild vegetables, but only Wenrou's family had three different meals a day.

Not only that, but every time Wenrou cooks, the aroma of meat wafts from her kitchen, making them almost drool with envy.

Every time Wang Yanping's children smelled the aroma of meat wafting from Wenrou's house, they would clamor for meat, which made Wang Yanping not only envious but also very troubled.

She regrets offending Wenrou more than anyone else now, otherwise her family would definitely be eating meat by now.

It has been more than ten days since Huo Yanchuan was urgently recalled by the army, and he has not returned yet.

Although Wenrou was enjoying a comfortable life with plenty of food and drink every day, she was still somewhat worried about Huo Yanchuan.

Because in the news of my previous life, many comrades who participated in disaster relief also encountered danger, and many even sacrificed their lives.

Although she rescued Huo Yanchuan from that explosion last time, she couldn't be sure if the gears of fate would also change due to her influence.

If Huo Yanchuan is destined to sacrifice himself, then no amount of intervention from her will help.

She could save him once, but not a second time.

Just as Wenrou was getting anxious, news finally came back from the military.

Upon learning that the soldiers who participated in the rescue had returned, Wenrou ran over without thinking, wanting to see with her own eyes that Huo Yanchuan was alright before she could feel at ease.

All her worries of the past few days were finally put to the test at this moment, and she realized how important Huo Yanchuan was to her.

She didn't even know when Huo Yanchuan had taken up the most important place in her heart, but she finally realized her feelings for him.

When Wenrou ran to the entrance of the military base, she saw a car parked there.

She ran over eagerly and saw people getting off the car.

Her eyes were fixed on the person getting off the car, her mind filled with thoughts of that familiar figure.

But soon, after everyone had come down, she did not see Huo Yanchuan.

So she rushed over and saw the last person get off the car. The person was stunned when he saw Wenrou.

"Xiao Rou." Zhou Dayong didn't expect to see Wen Rou as soon as he got off the bus, and he instinctively called out to her.

Wenrou never expected that the last person to come down would not be Huo Yanchuan, but Zhou Dayong.

Upon seeing Zhou Dayong's face, the gentle expression on her face changed from expectation to disappointment.

Zhou Dayong had his arm in a cast and his leg injured, and he was being helped by others.

It was only then that she noticed that the people who had returned with Zhou Dayong had also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

"Where's Huo Yanchuan? How is he?" Wenrou asked anxiously, wanting to know Huo Yanchuan's condition.

Those people saw Wenrou and knew that she was Commander Huo's lover, and their expressions changed slightly.

When Wenrou saw their expressions, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

Zhou Dayong looked at her and kindly said, "Xiaorou, you need to be mentally prepared. Huo Yanchuan went missing while participating in a rescue mission and has not been found yet."

Upon hearing his words, Wenrou subconsciously looked at the others, wanting to confirm whether what Zhou Dayong said was true.

She noticed that their eyes were darting away from her, that they didn't dare look her in the eye, and that they didn't even dare tell her the news, afraid of making her worry.

When they returned, Battalion Commander Hao specifically instructed them not to tell Wenrou the news, fearing that her worry would affect the baby in her womb.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at the unit, Battalion Commander Zhou would tell Huo Tuan's wife the news.

They didn't know what to do for a moment.

Many of the brothers who participated in the rescue were injured.

Besides those who only suffered minor injuries and were able to return to their unit safely, there were many other missing brothers whose whereabouts had not been found, including Huo's regiment.

Although Wenrou had a bad feeling, she still couldn't accept it after hearing the news of Huo Yanchuan's disappearance.

"She'll be alright, we'll definitely find her."

She trusted Huo Yanchuan's abilities and knew that no matter what danger he encountered, he would find a way to turn the situation around.

Upon hearing Wenrou's words, Zhou Dayong began to pour cold water on her enthusiasm once again.

"Xiaorou, no matter how capable Huo Yanchuan is, he can't escape natural disasters. This time, he's probably in grave danger. You and he only married for convenience; you didn't have any real feelings for each other. If he doesn't come back, you need to consider your own future."

Zhou Dayong felt that he was speaking out of good intentions, and he didn't want to see Wenrou saddened by Huo Yanchuan's situation.

Unexpectedly, Wenrou glared at him fiercely after hearing his words.

"Even if you die, he won't die. Who told you that he and I were just living together for convenience? It's none of your business how I conduct myself."

After speaking gently, she turned around and went back to the family compound.

Zhou Dayong felt very uncomfortable after hearing Wenrou's words.

Although Wenrou wouldn't admit it, it was no secret that she and Huo Yanchuan slept in separate beds.

Zhou Dayong certainly didn't believe that there could be any real feelings between Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan. Huo Yanchuan's accident was also giving him an opportunity to show off in front of Wenrou.

When Shen Qingshuang learned that Zhou Dayong had returned injured, she rushed over to pick him up with a worried expression.

Upon learning that Huo Yanchuan had not returned and was missing, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

These days, Wenrou, relying on the food she had stockpiled in advance, doesn't take anyone seriously in the compound.

She was starving, yet she could smell the aroma of meat coming from Wenrou's house all day long. How could anyone not be angry?

Now look what's happened. Who told her to be so arrogant? Let's see if she can still be so arrogant now that Huo Yanchuan is gone.

Fortunately, Zhou Dayong came back, otherwise she would have been worried about how she would get by.

"Dayong, just stay home and rest these next few days. Leave everything else to me." After the comparison, Shen Qingshuang realized even more how important it was to have a man around.

Although Wenrou said that Huo Yanchuan would definitely be fine, she still had no confidence at all.

She tried sending a telegram to Hao Gang, but they were constantly out of contact, which made her even more worried.

In the past few days, the blizzard has gradually subsided.

Judging by the time, it should have stopped by now, but there was still no news from Huo Yanchuan.

Zhou Dayong has been back from his injury for three days. Apart from his seriously injured arm, his leg injury has been treated and he can walk without much difficulty.

Seeing that Wenrou didn't seem to be affected by Huo Yanchuan's disappearance these days, and that she was still doing what she was supposed to do every day, Zhou Dayong knew that she definitely didn't have that deep feeling for Huo Yanchuan.

It's only been three days, and she's already moved on from this. It seems that Huo Yanchuan is nothing special to her.

As Wenrou's belly grew bigger day by day, Zhou Dayong saw how hard she worked carrying water and cooking every day, so he lent her a hand.

He offered to carry the water into Wenrou's house and poured it into her water tank.

The road closures caused by the blizzard have been resolved, and everyone can now go to town to buy things. The water was just brought back from the county seat.

As batches of soldiers returned, even Hao Gang came back, but there was still no news of Huo Yanchuan. Although Wenrou was anxious, she did not show it on her face.

Seeing Zhou Dayong's unsolicited kindness, she gently crossed her arms and watched him fill the water tank for her. She immediately asked, "Zhou Dayong, what exactly do you want?"

In the past few days, Zhou Dayong has been trying to strike up a conversation with her, but she has ignored him.

He had finally gotten this opportunity, so Wenrou took the chance to be upfront with him.

Zhou Dayong felt uncomfortable hearing Wenrou's tone, but thinking of their past good relationship, he said somewhat unwillingly, "I didn't mean to do anything. I just want to help you, Xiaorou. We used to be so good friends. Even if we can't be together in this life, we can still be friends. Can you give me a chance?"

Worried about being gently rejected, Zhou Dayong hurriedly apologized again: "I was confused about what happened before. I only understand my feelings for you now, but it's too late to say anything. I just hope you can give me a chance to make amends."

Wenrou frowned deeply upon hearing Zhou Dayong's words. She looked at him and said directly, "Zhou Dayong, have you lost your mind? We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I don't want to have anything to do with anyone from your Zhou family. Get out of my house right now and stay away from me from now on."

After speaking gently, she pointed towards the door, holding a carrying pole in her hand, as if she would beat him out if he didn't leave.

Zhou Dayong knew that if he missed today, he didn't know when he would have another chance.

He looked at Rouwen and finally spoke his mind: "Rou, you only married Huo Yanchuan because he could help you raise your children. What if I said I could do that too? If you're willing, I can be the godfather of the children in your belly and help you raise them."
