Divorced woman with child travels through time

So many carriages marched out of town in a grand procession. Fortunately, it was just dawn and there were few pedestrians on the road.

After Chen Wenfang spoke with Caiyun, she felt rather heavy-hearted and remained silent the whole way.

Although the female workers were somewhat apprehensive, they still trusted Chen Wenfang.

The sun had risen in the sky, and the temperature was a bit hot. Half an hour later, they arrived at the beach.

Lü Xiong came up to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, you are here!"

"Hey, there are steamed buns, eggs, meat patties, and stewed meat dragging behind that cart. Have someone unload them and we can eat them." Chen Wenfang said with a smile as she got off the cart.

“Alright, Second Sister-in-law is the best. Second Brother is on the island. He said he’ll arrange for you to go there once you arrive. I’ll take you there first.” Lu Xiong said meaningfully.

"Okay!" Chen Wenfang knew this matter was urgent.

Vice General Wang also came over to greet them and specially led several carriages to a secluded spot to load the clothes onto the boat.

The water had risen, and they were taken to the island in several small boats.

Wang Erniu received the news early on and stood by the water, gazing into the distance.

"Husband!" Chen Wenfang waved and called out happily from afar.

Wang Erniu unconsciously smiled and waved in response. The soldiers standing with him then realized that as soon as the militia leader's wife appeared, the militia leader's aura instantly changed, all murderous intent vanished, and the world became beautiful.

As the small boat slowly approached, Wang Erniu reached out and pulled Chen Wenfang into his arms.

Startled by this sudden turn of events, Chen Wenfang blushed and quickly stood up straight, using the excuse of adjusting her clothes to cover up her embarrassment. "Where is he? I'll come over now."

Wang Erniu leaned close to her ear and said, "You need to be prepared. Those women are absolutely horrific. I've already had the area cordoned off, and A-Yue is guarding it. So far, no one has tried to kill themselves, but they definitely will if given the chance. It's best to tell them in advance, in case someone doesn't want to be near them, then you don't need to bring them over."

"Okay. I understand!" Chen Wenfang knew that given Wang Erniu's status, it was inconvenient for him to handle this situation, so it was her turn to take action. She took the lead and picked up a stack of clothes.

Wang Erniu led them to a group of houses that were surrounded by barriers. "That's the one. Take them in. Thank you for your hard work, wife. Let me know when you're done."

“We’re husband and wife, let’s not talk about this!” Chen Wenfang walked over with her head held high, and the female workers followed closely behind.

After walking about ten meters, Chen Wenfang stopped and faced them. With a solemn expression, she said earnestly and without room for argument, "I've invited you here today because, as you know, we won this battle. They discovered some women who had been violated by the Japanese. We've come here to rescue them. Are you willing?"

Zhao Di knew the purpose of her visit the moment she picked up the clothes. She admired Madam Chen's kindness and understood the suffering of those women. Saving them was of course her duty.

"I do!" she answered first.

"I'm willing too!" Seeing this, Huang quickly joined in the vote. With one person taking the lead, the female workers all expressed their agreement.

It must be said that Caiyun comes from a wealthy family, so her eye for talent is quite good; none of the ten people objected.

"Okay, let's go quickly then. I remember your kindness." Chen Wenfang said no more.

"Madam! You've finally arrived!" The anxious A-Yue seemed to have found her pillar of support. The assassin, who was usually ruthless, was now as soft-hearted as a block of tofu.

"I'm here. How's it inside?" Chen Wenfang handed the clothes in her hands to Caiyun and was about to open the door.

Ah Yue reached out to stop her and shook her head. "Madam, you need to be prepared."

Chen Wenfang took a deep breath, bolstering her courage, and said decisively, "Okay, I'm ready!"

A-Yue let go of his hand, and Chen Wenfang pulled open the door. The glaring sun shone into the room, and a wave of high temperature, along with the fishy smell, hit her head.

Chen Wenfang only glanced at it a few times before she couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly left the room and vomited nearby.

Caiyun and the female workers looked at each other, somewhat at a loss. Was the situation inside really that serious?

Caiyun, carrying the clothes, turned to the doorway and glanced inside. She was so startled that she took a step back. Inside, a naked woman was staring at her with dead fish eyes.

"Sister Yue, are there dead people inside?" Caiyun blurted out in a panic.

"Ah? Dead!" The female workers were somewhat flustered.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Wenfang wiped her mouth with her sleeve and recovered.

"Put your things down, Caiyun, have them bring some clean water over, and Ayue, open the door!" Chen Wenfang stood in the sunlight, making arrangements methodically.

Xiuxiu was heartbroken. Ever since she was kidnapped from the village, she had been defiled by different Japanese men every day and used as a tool for their venting. She dared not resist. She watched helplessly as a woman who looked like a wet nurse couldn't bear the Japanese men's despicable abuse and slapped one of them. As a result, her breasts were cut off and she was left to die in the sun.

For months, she lost track of time. She had lost a lot of weight, and the scars on her body had turned from blue to purple. The sun rose and set, and women came and went. Some died and were dragged away, but she stubbornly survived. Every day she hoped, and sometimes she told herself, maybe it's better to just give up and stop eating the leftovers that the Japanese forced on them to keep them alive. But she was unwilling to give up. She didn't know if her one-year-old son was still alive. She wanted to see him, no matter if he was alive or not.

Xiuxiu shed two clear tears, washing away her dirty face. She remained motionless; she was too hungry to move and needed to conserve her strength. She had been waiting until last night, when the deafening sounds of slaughter told her she had finally waited. She was so happy, but unfortunately, she was too weak to move. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, but she didn't even have the strength. She was so tired that she fainted from excitement.

In the morning, she thought yesterday was a dream. When she saw the door open, she instinctively vented her hatred until she came to her senses.

Looking at the sunlight streaming in, she greedily stared at the sliver of light through the crack in the door, and watched as the gentle woman pushed open the door and called out, "Sisters, we've come to take you away. Please don't worry, it's not your fault."

She stood there, tears streaming down her face, her body convulsing, utterly aggrieved.

Chen Wenfang looked at the women in the room who were gradually coming to life, sighed, and opened the door wide, saying, "I brought water over, no one will see, come out and wash up." As she spoke, she went straight into the room and helped one of them up, but Xiuxiu was really weak and couldn't be helped up after a long time.

"Caiyun!" Chen Wenfang cried out.

"Oh! Coming!" Caiyun immediately darted into the room.

Xiuxiu lowered her head and let them help her into the sunlight. Standing on the straw mat, the warm water slid down her neck, a rare comfort. Suddenly, she felt a surge of energy, snatched the gourd from the hand of the female worker next to her, and drank it down without caring whether the water was clean or not.
