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

Chapter 74: A Premonition That Something Would Happen to My Elder Brother

"Wen Jiguang, are you even a man? Your wife is being bullied, and you're not even helping me?" Liu Yan yelled at Wen Jiguang when she saw him helping Wenrou.

Wen Jiguang frowned, his face darkening. "Liu Yan, I've tolerated you for a long time. I can overlook what you did before, but Xiao Rou is my sister. If you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he didn't want to argue with Liu Yan there, so he left with Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan.

Liu Yan was even angrier when she saw that he had just left.

Liu Yan's parents also felt ashamed, and most importantly, the good things that originally belonged to their family had now been taken back by Wenrou.

"Xiao Yan, go back and apologize to Ji Guang, say some nice things to him." Seeing that Wen Ji Guang was angry, Liu's mother had no choice but to persuade Liu Yan.

It was indeed not easy for the Liu family to find the Wen family as their in-laws.

Especially considering Liu Yan's current situation—she's a widow, and in the entire village, only Wen Jiguang doesn't look down on her.

Besides, although the Wen family had been unable to hold their heads high in the village because of Wenrou's affair,

But things are different now. She not only found a wealthy military officer, but I also heard that he receives a salary while in the military.

If they can maintain a good relationship with Wenrou in the future, they will definitely reap the benefits.

"Mom, your daughter has been bullied, and you're still taking the Wen family's side?" Liu Yan couldn't swallow this insult.

She just couldn't understand it; the fact that she was able to fall for Wen Jiguang was a blessing that the Wen family had accumulated over eight generations.

Previously, Li Xiuying had to beg and plead with several matchmakers to propose marriage before she reluctantly agreed to marry Wen Jiguang.

Ever since she married into the Wen family, everyone in the family has done whatever she wanted.

If it weren't for her, I doubt anyone in the surrounding villages would be willing to marry Wen Jiguang.

Everything was fine until that bitch Wenrou came back and started interfering with everything. It's infuriating!

She refused to believe that Wen Jiguang wouldn't be anxious if he didn't have a wife.

If he dares to protect Wenrou, then I dare to divorce him.

"I won't go back unless Wen Jiguang comes to my door begging me to go back." After saying that, Liu Yan turned around and went into the house.

Upon seeing this, Liu's father agreed with Liu Yan's approach.

"My daughter is right. If Wen Jiguang doesn't come to apologize this time, we won't go back with him. I refuse to believe that without my daughter, Wen Jiguang could have found such a good wife."

He still holds a grudge about what happened earlier, the kick that Huo Yanchuan gave his father.

That kick is one thing, but the most important thing is that all the good stuff was taken away.

If Wen Jiguang were to bring gifts to apologize in person, the matter would be considered closed.

Otherwise, he'll make Xiaoyan divorce him, and he doesn't believe the Wen family won't be anxious.

The onlookers at the door were all driven away by Liu's father, and many neighbors had long disliked the Liu family.

Selling her daughter to an old widower was bad enough, but now she's causing trouble for the Wen family.

The Wen family are honest people, so I didn't argue with them before.

Now look what's happened, their daughter is back and has taken back everything they stole from the Wen family.

Let's see how they show off now.

After Wen Jiguang and Wenrou returned home, Li Xiuying learned that they had caused a scene at the Liu family's house.

"Where's Xiaoyan? Why didn't she come back with you?" Li Xiuying asked anxiously when she saw Wen Jiguang return alone.

Wen Jiguang gets a headache just thinking about Liu Yan now. "Ignore her."

He left those words behind and went back inside.

When Li Xiuying saw that Wenrou had brought the things back, she was taken aback for a moment, but then she was secretly delighted.

After Liu Yan took the things back to her parents' home, she felt a pang of regret.

She originally planned to take all those things back to her parents, and now it's perfect, she'll take them over tomorrow.

Her nephew is currently busy raising money for his wedding. With these gifts, he'll have a lot of face when he proposes, and he won't have to worry about being looked down upon.

Wenrou could tell what Li Xiuying was planning just by looking at her expression.

She deliberately spoke loudly to Wen Jianshe in the kitchen, "Dad, I've brought back everything Huo Yanchuan gave you. If anything goes missing from the house in the future, just report it to the police station. Don't let anyone steal it again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuying's expression clearly changed.

"Why report a case? We're all family. I'm going to your uncle's house in a bit to take all of these over." Li Xiuying stopped pretending and prepared to take the things directly from Wenrou's hands.

Wenrou was carrying something and didn't give it to her.

"Mom, I remember Huo Yanchuan took two gifts back then, right? You took one of them to Uncle's house, why did you send another one to them? This is for Dad. If you want a gift, go buy it yourself."

After speaking gently, she carried the things into her room.

"You...you brat, I'm your mother, and you're still guarding against me?" Li Xiuying scolded angrily when she saw Wenrou acting like this.

Hearing the noise, Wen Jianshe came out of the kitchen and said to Li Xiuying, "Xiao Rou is right. You took all your things to your parents' house. You might as well just move the whole house there."

"You... fine, fine, you two are deliberately trying to provoke me, aren't you? I can't live like this anymore, I'm going back to my parents' house right now, Wen Jianshe, you'll regret this." Li Xiuying said, turning around and going back into the house to pack her things.

In the past, the whole family would panic whenever they heard that she was going back to her parents' home.

But over the years, they've gotten used to Wenrou.

Wen Jianshe, in particular, acted as if he hadn't heard anything, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue his work.

After Wenrou brought the things back into the house, she also went to the kitchen to help.

Seeing that no one was stopping her, Li Xiuying had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out the door.

If she goes back empty-handed, her family will definitely say something.

But she had no money. A few days ago, Wen Jianshe had spent all the family's money to help Jiguang get married.

Thinking that I had taken quite a few things back before, I figured that if I didn't take anything this time, it shouldn't be a big problem.

When it was time for dinner that evening, without Li Xiuying and Liu Yan present, Wenrou was finally able to have a proper meal with her father and older brother.

During the meal, Wenrou thought about her trip back home and worried about Wen Jianshe's health, so she said, "Dad, I'll take you to the county tomorrow to buy you some clothes and get you a check-up."

In her past life, it was too late when she learned that her father was seriously ill.

At that time, Dad was barely clinging to life.

The doctor said it was due to overwork, and possibly lung cancer.

If we calculate the time, there are still more than two years before he falls ill. If there are any signs now, it can definitely be detected and treated in time.

Upon hearing that Wenrou wanted to take him to the county for medical treatment, Wen Jianshe quickly refused, saying, "I'm perfectly healthy, why spend that money? My clothes are still wearable, why buy new ones?"

Hearing that his daughter had grown up and knew how to care for him, Wen Jianshe felt a sense of relief.

"Xiaorou, as long as you and Yanchuan are doing well, Dad is at ease. You don't need to worry about me. Keep all your money for yourselves; Dad doesn't need it."

Seeing this, Wen Jiguang chimed in, "That's right, you should keep your money for yourselves. I'll take good care of Mom and Dad, so don't worry."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them in the short term, Wenrou had no choice but to give up for now.

She was thinking of waiting for a day when she would secretly take him to the county hospital for a forced medical examination.

Seeing that Wenrou was so eager to have Wen Jianshe examined, Huo Yanchuan, though unaware of the reason, was willing to help her.

"Dad, Xiaorou meant well. This physical examination is free; it's a free spot the military gives to family members. She's pregnant now, and some tests can't be done, so she thought of giving it to you."

Wenrou turned to look at Huo Yanchuan after hearing his words, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Why didn't she think of that reason? Huo Yanchuan's method is really good.

Upon hearing that the physical examination would be free, Wen Jiguang naturally agreed.

"That's free, Dad. Go get checked out. If there's nothing wrong, we can rest assured. If there is, you can get treatment in time."

Wen Jianshe may or may not have known about his minor health issues, but he always felt that they were no big deal.

People in the countryside generally only go to the hospital for check-ups and treatment when they have a serious health problem.

People who normally feel healthy are also reluctant to go to the hospital.

They even believe that as long as you go to the hospital, even healthy people can be diagnosed with diseases.

"I already said I'm in good health and don't need to go to the hospital. You can keep that free medical check-up for yourself."

Wen Jianshe once again declined Wen Rou and Huo Yanchuan's offer, as he didn't want to trouble them.

Besides, if any problems are found during the examination, treatment will also cost money.

Their family is dirt poor now, where would they get the money to go to the hospital for treatment?

"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's eat." Wenrou understood his stubborn temper, so she had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.

Anyway, she'll be staying in the countryside for a while longer, and we'll figure out a solution in a few days.

At night, Wenrou still had to squeeze into the same bed with Huo Yanchuan.

If her father and elder brother knew that she and Huo Yanchuan would divorce in the future, they would definitely worry about her.

Huo Yanchuan has gotten used to it now. He takes a shower early in the evening, lies shirtless on the bed, and waits for Wenrou.

Wenrou entered the house and saw this scene, and was immediately stunned.

Although I know Huo Yanchuan has a great physique, he can't just go around shirtless all the time, can he?

If it weren't for his serious expression, she would have suspected he was seducing her.

Wenrou pretended to be calm as she walked over, lifted the blanket, and lay down next to him.

Although she was pregnant, she had absolutely no recollection of what happened that night.

She and Zhou Dayong had never even held hands before.

Although she appears calm on the surface, it would be a lie to say she isn't panicking inside.

Although Huo Yanchuan was impotent, he was still a real man. With a grown man lying next to her shirtless, her face couldn't help but burn.

Seeing the blush on Wenrou's cheeks and noticing her lying down with her back to him, Huo Yanchuan couldn't help but smile.

Just as Wenrou closed her eyes, preparing to sleep, she suddenly felt the man next to her move closer.

She could feel her back pressed tightly against the man's chest, and even feel the firm muscles in his chest and abdomen.

His chest was somewhat firm, broader than she had imagined, yet unexpectedly warm.

Wenrou was taken aback when Huo Yanchuan suddenly approached her. She froze on the spot, her breath caught in her chest, and she even forgot to breathe.

Just then, she thought, whether it was her imagination or not, that Huo Yanchuan's chest trembled slightly, as if he were laughing.

Then I heard his voice, "I'm turning off the lights."

Wenrou unconsciously let out an "oh," her heart pounding so hard that her breathing became erratic.

Fortunately, Huo Yanchuan turned off the light and lay back down.

With her eyes tightly closed, it took her a long time to gradually calm down.

She turned her head and heard that Huo Yanchuan was already asleep, so she closed her eyes with relief.

It seems she was overthinking things again; Huo Yanchuan had no such intentions whatsoever.

Gently patted her face, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The next morning, after she got up, she learned that Huo Yanchuan and Wen Jiguang had already gone up the mountain.

Now is the time to go up the mountain to dig for bamboo shoots, and sometimes, if you're lucky, you can even catch some game.

Huo Yanchuan grew up in the city and had never hunted before, even after being transferred to the army, so hunting was a novelty for him.

Another reason is that he wanted to experience Wenrou's life from childhood to adulthood.

After eating breakfast, Wenrou felt uneasy.

Thinking of her older brother falling from the mountain while hunting in her past life, she decided to go up the mountain to find them.

"Dad, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

Wenrou said something to Wen Jianshe and then hurriedly went out the door.

She originally wanted to go up the mountain, but as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Huo Yanchuan and Wen Jiguang coming down the mountain chatting and laughing.

Not only that, they were also carrying a wild boar.

They were lucky today; they encountered a wild boar not long after they went up the mountain.

Wen Jiguang was worried that he wouldn't be able to win the battle by himself, but fortunately, Huo Yanchuan was there. Huo Yanchuan had trained in the army for many years and was very skilled, even more agile than Wen Jiguang.

Although it was their first time working together, the two had a great rapport.

Wild boars from the mountains often rush into farmland and destroy crops, so sometimes the village organizes people to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars.

Although the wild boar they hunted this time was a bit small, it was still a good thing for the villagers.

Wild boar meat was a rare commodity in those days. Although it had a stronger gamey smell than domestic pork, it could still be made into many delicious dishes if prepared properly.

Seeing that Wen Jiguang was alright, Wenrou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them then saw Wenrou and walked towards her.

"Xiao Rou, what brings you here?" Wen Jiguang's face was filled with the joy of having hunted a wild boar.

Seeing Wenrou's worried expression, Huo Yanchuan walked over and gave her a reassuring look.

"Let's go back and deal with this wild boar properly. We'll stew it for dinner tonight." Wen Jiguang didn't see the worried look on Wenrou's face; his mind was completely focused on the wild boar.

Seeing this, Wenrou had no choice but to turn around and follow him back.

The wild boar wasn't big; Wen Jiguang could carry it by himself, so Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou walked behind.

The road into the mountains is difficult to travel, and because of the rain a few days ago, it is still muddy.

Huo Yanchuan was afraid she would fall, so he reached out and grabbed her hand, leading her back.

"Be careful," Huo Yanchuan warned.

Her gentle hand was held tightly by him, and she could only follow him.

His palms were very warm, and my entire hand was gently enveloped in his large palm, which made me feel a sense of security.

On the way, Huo Yanchuan thought of Wenrou's worried look earlier, so he asked, "You rushed over so quickly, were you worried something had happened to us?"

Wenrou turned her head and met Huo Yanchuan's gaze, which was filled with inquiry and doubt.

The man's eyes were far too sharp. Although he had tried to tone down his usual edge when he was with Wenrou, they still instinctively carried a hint of piercingness.

Wenrou knew she couldn't hide anything from this man. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamt that my older brother fell off a mountain and broke his leg while hunting. I also dreamt that Liu Yan abandoned my older brother and ran off with a rich businessman."

She didn't mention the past life; she just told them about it as if it were a dream, not knowing if they would believe her.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiguang, who was walking ahead, turned around and smiled at Wenrou, saying, "What kind of dream are you having? I grew up here, I know this mountain better than anyone. How could I possibly fall off the mountain and break my leg, becoming a cripple?"

"However, if Liu Yan knew that I had broken a leg, she would definitely find another way out for herself."

Wen Jiguang didn't take Wenrou's dream seriously at all, but Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou wouldn't talk about her dream for no reason.

He stared at her for a long time, knowing that her worry meant she must have sensed something was going to happen.

So he gripped her hand tighter and comforted her, "Don't worry, even if something really happens, I'm still here. I won't let anything happen to your brother."

When Wenrou said it, she didn't actually intend for them to believe her.

But she didn't expect that Huo Yanchuan would believe her words without any scruples, and even believe her outrageous dream.

She looked at Huo Yanchuan and said gratefully, "Thank you."

In her current state, she is unable to go up the mountain with them, nor can she help her older brother when he is in danger.

Fortunately, Huo Yanchuan was with her. With him there, her brother's danger was reduced.

"I've already told you, I'm your husband. Stop with the polite talk, or else..."

Huo Yanchuan paused for a moment, then leaned over and whispered something in Wenrou's ear. Wenrou's face flushed red, and her ears started to burn.

Wenrou stared wide-eyed at Huo Yanchuan.

Did she hear that right?

When did this man become so indecent?
