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

Liu Yan stared blankly at the man in front of her, standing there speechless, forgetting to answer.

She never expected that such a handsome and charismatic man would get out of the car. This man had an air of nobility that people from her remote mountain village had never seen before.

Just then, Wen Jiguang, who had heard the noise, came out.

"Who are you looking for?" He asked with a puzzled look when he saw Huo Yanchuan.

He had only met Huo Yanchuan once before and didn't have much of an impression of him, but Huo Yanchuan remembered him at a glance.

Knowing that he was Wenrou's brother, she stepped forward and politely said, "I am Huo Yanchuan, Wenrou's husband. I've come on her behalf to greet her family."

"You...who do you say you are?" Upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's introduction, Wen Jiguang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wenrou and I have already registered our marriage in the military. She couldn't come back this time, so she specially asked me to come back and visit in her place," Huo Yanchuan introduced himself again.

At this moment, Liu Yan, who was standing to the side, also came to her senses.

She stared at Huo Yanchuan, her face filled with disbelief and excitement, and shouted, "Who are you? You're the soldier Wenrou married in the army?"

How is that possible?

This man has an extraordinary air about him, and he's also a military leader. Her gentleness has been taken advantage of, how could she possibly find such a good man again?

Liu Yan's voice quickly attracted the attention of those around her. They had originally thought the jeep belonged to Zhou Dayong, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Everyone was shocked to hear that the person who came was her gentle husband.

Zhou Manfu, who had been very excited just moments before, suddenly changed his expression when he realized it wasn't his son Dayong who had returned.

What he found even more unacceptable was that this man was actually a gentle husband.

"You...please come in." After regaining his senses, Wen Jiguang welcomed Huo Yanchuan and Xiao Cheng inside.

Xiao Cheng was carrying gifts that Huo Yanchuan had bought for Wenrou's parents in Beijing, gifts that they couldn't find here.

At this moment, Wen Jianshe and Li Xiuying were also completely bewildered when they saw Huo Yanchuan and Xiao Cheng enter.

"Mom and Dad, he's Xiaorou's husband, the soldier she married in the army," Wen Jiguang introduced as he entered.

Huo Yanchuan bowed slightly to them and said politely, "Uncle, Aunt, hello."

"Okay, quick...quick, sit down." Li Xiuying looked at Huo Yanchuan in front of her and quickly realized what was happening, so she greeted him.

She had also forgotten that back in the army, Huo Yanchuan had shielded Wenrou from a slap.

Huo Yanchuan reached out and took the things from Xiao Cheng's hands. "This is my first time visiting you. I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought some random things. I hope you won't mind."

The cigarettes, alcohol, and tea that Huo Yanchuan brought would cost several tens of yuan in total.

Li Xiuying could tell at a glance that this thing was expensive, so how could she dare to complain about it?

"That girl Xiaorou, she got married and didn't even tell us. You can just come in person, it's too much of a waste to bring all this stuff."

Li Xiuying accepted the gift, beaming from ear to ear.

Wen Jianshe remained seated, sizing up Huo Yanchuan.

Seeing that all the items he bought bore the trademarks of Beijing, he asked, "Are you from Beijing?"

Huo Yanchuan nodded. "My family is from Beijing. I just stopped by to visit you on my way home to the military base."

"You and Xiaorou...you really got married?" Wen Jianshe still couldn't believe that Wenrou had married the man in front of him.

As a man himself, he could tell that Huo Yanchuan was not only from a good family but also held a high military rank; he was a regimental commander in the army.

His daughter was just a girl who grew up in the countryside and only went to junior high school. And then that incident happened before.

The two of them don't seem like the type to get married at all.

"Wenrou and I are a legally married couple who have obtained our marriage certificate. It's just that we were in a bit of a rush and haven't had time to hold a wedding ceremony or inform you yet," Huo Yanchuan said truthfully.

Upon hearing that Wenrou had indeed gotten married, Wen Jianshe couldn't help but sigh.

Since it was his daughter's own choice, he had nothing to say, as long as she was happy.

But I just heard Liu Yan say that this man is infertile, no wonder she was interested in his daughter.

"You've heard about what happened to Xiaorou before, right? What do you think about it?" Even so, Wen Jianshe had to find out the truth.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanchuan looked serious and said, word by word, "I'm attracted to her as a person. As for her past, that's all in the past. I believe she's a good girl, and even if something did happen, there must have been a reason."

He came here this time to investigate this matter.

If he hadn't come this time, he wouldn't have known that Wenrou's reputation in the village had reached the point where everyone would despise and scorn her.

On his way here, he even heard the village children laughing at Wenrou, calling her a slut and a whore all the time.

He couldn't even imagine how much injustice and harm she had suffered in the village before this.

He also knew that the reason Wenrou rarely mentioned her family or went home was because she wanted to distance herself from the situation. She thought that if she was no longer in the village, her family would be better off.

But what she didn't know was that her family missed her too.

Wen Jianshe was very satisfied with Huo Yanchuan's answer, and even looked at him more pleasingly than before.

No matter what, as long as my daughter can find someone who truly loves her, even if that man has a physical disability, as long as the two of them are happy, that's enough.

Wen Jiguang never expected that his sister would find such a good man. Although Zhou Dayong had said before that he didn't mind his sister, he turned around and married another woman in the army.

This man is no worse than Zhou Dayong in every way, except...

But none of that matters anymore. As long as his sister is doing well, he's at ease.

Ever since Liu Yan learned that Huo Yanchuan was the man Wenrou married in the army, she had felt uneasy.

She thought Wenrou had married a man in his fifties who couldn't have children, but she never expected that he was from Beijing.

Not only that, but he also gave gifts worth tens of yuan.

Isn't this much better than Zhou Dayong?

Moreover, he was tall and handsome, and also a regimental commander in the army.

Zhou Dayong is only a battalion commander now, which means this man is Zhou Dayong's superior?

Most importantly, he doesn't mind being gentle?

This man is so much better than Zhou Dayong. I don't know what stroke of luck Wenrou had to run into such a good man.

No, she couldn't just stand by and watch a good man be ruined by someone as gentle as Wenrou.

While Li Xiuying was in the kitchen preparing the food, and Wen Jiguang and Wen Jianshe were both called away, Liu Yan was finally able to speak with Huo Yanchuan.

"Sir, is what you just said true? You really don't mind what Wenrou did in the village? You don't know her well enough. Let me tell you, she loved to seduce men when she was in the village. She's very promiscuous. You should think carefully and not be fooled by her face."

Liu Yan couldn't stand that Wenrou always had a man by her side, and she also couldn't stand her alluring face, which resembled that of a vixen.

Back in school, she had a face that made half the boys in her class like her.

Upon hearing Liu Yan's words, Huo Yanchuan's expression changed, and his eyes turned cold.

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

Huo Yanchuan looked at Liu Yan with a frighteningly gloomy gaze. Coupled with his imposing aura, Liu Yan almost collapsed to her knees.

Huo Yanchuan's reputation as a cold-faced Yama in the army was well-deserved. His extremely oppressive gaze terrified even his soldiers, let alone Liu Yan, a woman who had never seen much of the world.

Liu Yan originally thought that by telling Huo Yanchuan these things, he would change his opinion of Wenrou.

But to my surprise, this man was so terrifying?

And does he really believe in gentleness?

You don't even care about these things?

Liu Yan was not only scared, but she also couldn't accept the fact.

Just then, Wen Jiguang returned from outside and his expression turned cold upon seeing the scene.

"Liu Yan, what are you planning to do now?"

He knew that Liu Yan was usually restless, and he was forced to marry her by his family.

Even after they got married, Liu Yan wouldn't allow him to touch her. Even now, he still sleeps on the floor every day.

Although they held a wedding ceremony on the surface, Liu Yan's household registration was still with the old widower. She coveted the old widower's assets, so she was unwilling to register their marriage.

"What can I do? With Wenrou like that, only you guys treat her like a treasure. You'll regret it sooner or later."

Liu Yan snorted coldly, glared at Wen Jiguang, and turned to go back into the house.

Upon seeing this, Wen Jiguang said to Huo Yanchuan, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Xiao Rou is not at all what they say. She is my own sister, and I know her well."

Huo Yanchuan nodded. Of course he knew, but he still needed to investigate the matter thoroughly to find out exactly what happened.

However, remembering the purpose of his visit, Huo Yanchuan asked, "Did Wenrou have any hobbies at home? What did she usually do in her spare time?"

"She used to love going hunting with us in the mountains, but she didn't really like the things that other girls liked," Wen Jiguang said gently, his face showing the doting affection of a brother for his sister.

Huo Yanchuan had never heard Wenrou mention her hunting experiences before, but considering her strength, he guessed it was related to her years of hunting in the mountains.

"When did she learn to drive? I heard there's an experienced truck driver in your village?" he continued.

Wen Jiguang didn't think too much about it; his first reaction upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's words was confusion.

"When did Xiaorou learn to drive a truck? Besides, we've never heard of anyone in our village who can drive a car."

After Wen Jiguang finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yanchuan, then changed his mind and said, "But... maybe I remembered wrong. Xiao Rou may have learned some things from a master before."

Huo Yanchuan didn't press the matter further, but he was certain in his heart that Wenrou hadn't driven before.

If she had never worked with trucks, she certainly wouldn't know how to repair them.

So, what exactly happened?

But none of that matters to him now. Whatever secrets she may have, if she doesn't want to tell him, he won't ask.

He will wait until the day she is willing to tell him.

"Were she and Zhou Dayong...once close?" Huo Yanchuan hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and asking.

Although he really didn't want to hear how good Wenrou and Zhou Dayong used to be, since he was here, he might as well learn more about their past.

He wanted to know about her past and what exactly happened between her and Zhou Dayong.

When Wen Jiguang talked about Wenrou and Zhou Dayong, he couldn't help but sigh.

"That girl Xiaorou, I don't know what she saw in Zhou Dayong back then? She was always around him, giving him everything, and in the end..."

Wen Jiguang's face was full of heartache as he spoke.

"The Zhou family was never well-off; they were dirt poor. If it weren't for Xiaorou and our family's help over the years, they wouldn't be able to make ends meet."

Wen Jiguang couldn't help but get angry whenever this matter was mentioned.

"If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Dayong treated Xiaorou fairly well, our family wouldn't have agreed to this marriage."

"But unexpectedly, that incident happened not long after they got engaged."

Wen Jiguang also knew that although Zhou Dayong said he didn't mind, he must have always felt uncomfortable inside.

Otherwise, why didn't he care when Xiaorou was being bullied at the Zhou family?

Hearing this, Huo Yanchuan's expression darkened, but he still asked for the crucial clue: "Who was Xiaorou with on the night of the incident?"

He had never heard of Wenrou's stories before; even if he had, they were all embellished versions of what he had heard from the Zhou family.

After spending these days together, he was certain that Wenrou was definitely not such a casual woman.

Unless, in the beginning, that incident was a setup.

"That day, Xiao Rou... that day, Zhou Chunmei came to see her. Later, she brought some steamed buns from home, saying that the Zhou family should also try them. After that, she didn't come back that night."

Recalling what happened that night, Wen Jiguang, now reminded by Huo Yanchuan, also felt that many things seemed suspicious.

They were supposed to get married in two or three days, so it would have been normal for them to stay at the Zhou family's house. However, they never expected that such a thing would happen.

"In other words, when Xiaorou had the accident that night, only the Zhou family was present, and everything was based on what the Zhou family said. If they drugged her and then sent her to another man's bed, no one would know." Huo Yanchuan frowned deeply.

"Why...why would the Zhou family harm Xiaorou? How could they be so cruel?" Wen Jiguang still couldn't believe it even after hearing what Huo Yanchuan said.

"Doesn't Zhou Dayong have two younger brothers? Why don't we ask them?" Huo Yanchuan said in a deep voice.

Huo Yanchuan's words immediately enlightened Wen Jiguang.

Although Zhou Dayong's two younger brothers are not very old, they are already in elementary school and can remember things. They must know something.
