Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 78 Encountering Human Traffickers on the Train
Hearing the voice, Wenrou turned her head and saw that Huo Yanchuan had arrived at some point.
He stood beside Wenrou, exuding the dignified and cold aura of a soldier. Looking at Li Jianguo, the chill in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.
Li Jianguo was a countryman; he had never seen a soldier with such a powerful aura as Huo Yanchuan.
He had been so aggressive just moments before, but now he was completely deflated in front of Huo Yanchuan.
Just then, Wen Jianshe's voice came from behind.
"Let's see who dares to bully my daughter and wife!"
Wen Jianshe also stood in front of Wenrou and Li Xiuying, looking at the Li family.
"This is outrageous! This is really outrageous!" Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she stabbed the ground with her cane, seeing that the Wenrou family was bullying them.
"Big sister, what do you mean by this? You can't bully people like this." Knowing that her family had no advantage, Wang Xiufang could only turn her attention to Li Xiuying.
Looking at her family members, Li Xiuying knew that in the past, she would have protected them no matter what.
But now, she has lost all respect for her own family.
"You say you care about Jiguang, but you don't even want to give a single penny. Everyone has seen how good I've been to you all these years. Now I'm just taking back what I've given you over the years. Besides, this money isn't even half of what I gave you."
Looking at her mother and younger brother's family, Li Xiuying suddenly realized that she had always been an outsider.
This family just wants to bleed her dry, making her willingly subsidize them.
"Xiaorou, Jianshe, let's go home." After saying this, Li Xiuying ignored the Li family members and turned to Wenrou and Wen Jianshe.
Wenrou was relieved to see that her mother had finally regained consciousness.
"Let's go home." Wenrou glanced at the Li family members and saw that they were all livid with anger. She felt extremely pleased.
With Huo Yanchuan and Wen Jianshe present, Li Jianguo could only watch helplessly as they left.
"Oh dear, my money! That's all my money! Come back here and give me my money back!"
The old lady watched as Wenrou took all her money, and she sat on the ground crying and screaming in anger.
The neighbors all knew what kind of people the Li family were, so apart from those who came to watch the spectacle, no one was willing to help.
This time, the two families have completely broken up, and Li Xiuying doesn't plan to have any further dealings with her family.
After returning home, Wenrou handed over all the money she had taken from the Li family to Li Xiuying.
Although she had previously disapproved of what Li Xiuying had done, seeing her attitude towards the Li family today, she was willing to believe her.
"Mom, this money is all for you. You can decide how to use it."
Li Xiuying was surprised that Wenrou would give her the money, and she was stunned when she took the money.
Thinking about how I treated my daughter in the past, I feel very guilty.
"Xiaorou, I've done so many wrong things in the past, I'm so sorry," Li Xiuying apologized with a face full of shame.
"Mom doesn't expect you to forgive me, I just hope you'll still come back to this home in the future."
Li Xiuying has truly come to terms with this. In crucial moments, no amount of family can be reliable; it's her husband and daughter who protect her.
Wenrou sighed inwardly. Even if Li Xiuying had been biased in the past, this family was still the family she had grown up in, and half of her blood flowed in her veins.
Her parents and relatives are here, how could she not come back?
"What's past is past, let's not bring it up again."
When Li Xiuying heard Wenrou say this, she knew that Wenrou must have forgiven her.
Wiping away her tears, she took Wenrou's hand and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore, we'll never mention it again."
She looked at the money in her hand, then looked at Liu Xiaoyu and gave her all the money.
"Xiaoyu, this money is all for you. You'll be in charge of the household from now on."
Liu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Wenrou and Li Xiuying, then hurriedly pushed the money back.
"Mom, no, I can't take your money." She's only just married into the family, how can she manage the household?
Besides, she knew that Li Xiuying had always been somewhat dissatisfied with her, so she couldn't possibly take over the money.
"Your mother is right. From now on, let the eldest son and his wife manage the household," Wen Jianshe chimed in at this moment.
Liu Xiaoyu was somewhat flattered. "Dad, how can this be?"
When Wenrou saw that Li Xiuying had handed over all the power of housekeeping, she knew that Li Xiuying had definitely changed completely this time.
She also felt more at ease knowing that Liu Xiaoyu was managing the household.
"Sister-in-law, since Mom and Dad have said so, just accept the money. We all believe you can manage this family well." Wenrou pushed her hand back.
Even after hearing Wenrou's words, Liu Xiaoyu still felt a little uneasy and discussed it with Wen Jiguang.
Wen Jiguang naturally supported this, saying, "Since Mom, Dad, and Xiaorou have all agreed, you can manage the household from now on."
During the days that Wen Jiguang was injured, Liu Xiaoyu took meticulous care of him every day, and their relationship is getting better and better.
With his words, Liu Xiaoyu agreed to take over the housekeeper's duties.
With the family matters resolved, Wenrou could finally relax.
She and Huo Yanchuan stayed for more than a week this time, and they have to go back now.
They originally planned to stay for two more days before returning home, but Huo Yanchuan suddenly received an urgent telegram and had to cut short his family visit leave.
Hearing that Wenrou and the others had to go back early the next morning, Wen Jianshe said it was good to go back, but he still felt a little reluctant to part with them.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why not stay a couple more days?" Li Xiuying wanted to take advantage of Wenrou's home to make up for what she had wronged her in the past. Hearing that they were in such a hurry to go back, she was also a little reluctant to part with them.
"The troops have an urgent mission and I have to go back. I'll come back to see you with Xiaorou next time I'm on leave." Huo Yanchuan had no choice.
Wenrou nodded, "Yes, I'll come back to see you again next time."
Upon learning that Wenrou was going back, Liu Xiaoyu made them some scallion pancakes for the journey.
Knowing it was a token of her affection, Wenrou accepted it all without hesitation.
Before leaving, she left some money in the cabinet without telling Wen Jianshe and Li Xiuying.
She knew that Wen Jianshe would definitely not accept the money if she offered it to him, so she came up with this solution.
After she goes back this time, she doesn't know when she will be able to come back again.
The next day, Wenrou learned that Zhou Dayong had returned to his unit, having been urgently recalled.
Seeing that Huo Yanchuan's expression was somewhat serious, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Has something happened at the military base?"
Huo Yanchuan was also unsure, but judging from the contents of the telegram, something had indeed happened.
He nodded, his expression somewhat grave.
Seeing his demeanor, Wenrou didn't ask any further questions.
Although Huo Yanchuan was anxious, considering Wenrou's health condition, he still found a guesthouse to stay at that night.
"Huo Yanchuan, why don't you drive back first? I'll take the train back slowly later." Knowing that the military definitely needed Huo Yanchuan, Wenrou didn't want to delay the trip because of her, so she spoke up.
Huo Yanchuan really wanted to travel through the night and return to his unit as soon as possible.
But Wenrou is currently pregnant, and he was worried that her body wouldn't be able to handle it, so he had to postpone his return.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own?" Huo Yanchuan asked, frowning and sounding somewhat worried.
Although he was worried about Wenrou, he still had the responsibility of protecting the country on his shoulders, and he had to rush back as soon as the country needed him.
She nodded gently. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Upon seeing this, Huo Yanchuan looked guilty and reached out to hug Wenrou tightly.
"Feel sorry."
Wenrou was taken aback when he suddenly hugged her.
Hearing his apologetic voice, she smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing to me? Besides, I'm not at the point where I need someone to protect me all the time. Just go about your business."
Huo Yanchuan checked the time; he had to leave now.
However, before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Wenrou to be careful on the road and never to stand out.
"Huo Yanchuan, when did you become so nagging?" Wenrou teased him with a smile as he kept talking.
She wasn't really that weak. For some reason, in Huo Yanchuan's eyes, she had become someone who couldn't even take care of herself.
Hearing her say that, Huo Yanchuan could only put his mind at ease for the time being.
Seeing that it was almost time, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Wenrou watched his departing figure with a smile on her face, but felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
These days, she's gotten used to having Huo Yanchuan around.
Even she herself didn't realize that she was gradually developing a different feeling for this man.
She had originally planned to find the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village to treat Huo Yanchuan, but she had heard that the old doctor had moved away.
It seems she moved to Huaxian County. Her train back to the military base passes through Huaxian, so I can go and look for her.
Wenrou stayed at the guesthouse that night, and bought a train ticket to Huaxian early the next morning.
She also had some pancakes made by Liu Xiaoyu in her bag. Seeing that there were instant noodles, apples, oranges and other snacks for sale at the train station entrance, she decided to buy some of them to fill her stomach on the way.
After boarding the train, Wenrou found her seat and sat down.
This time was different from the last. Last time, she went to the army to settle accounts with Zhou Dayong, but this time, she went back to the army.
Not long after Wenrou boarded the train, other passengers in the carriage also boarded one after another.
Across from her sat a middle-aged woman, slightly older than her. The woman had a headscarf wrapped around her head and wore patched clothes. As she sat down, she gave her a gentle, simple smile.
Seeing this, Wenrou politely nodded to her.
A refined-looking man, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sat next to the women's aisle. He had been reading a newspaper with his head down ever since he got on the bus.
It's rare to see people wearing suits these days, and this man's demeanor was extraordinary; his gentle nature made me take a few more glances.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that this man gave her a familiar feeling.
"Hey girl, where are you going?" After the others sat down, the middle-aged woman asked Wenrou in a familiar manner.
Perhaps seeing that Wenrou was alone and heavily pregnant, the woman was acting out of kindness.
"Hua County." Since she had nothing else to do, Wenrou started chatting with her.
"That's such a coincidence! My family is from Huaxian County." The woman immediately became excited upon hearing this.
Wenrou never expected such a coincidence, to meet someone else going to Huaxian in a private room.
However, since they were strangers, she still felt a sense of wariness.
"Girl, where's your man? Why are you going out alone when you're pregnant?" the woman asked with concern, looking at the soft curve of her belly.
"He...he's in Huaxian. He'll come pick me up when I get there." Wenrou didn't reveal too much to the woman, just making up a pretext.
Upon hearing Wenrou's words, a hint of regret flashed in the woman's eyes.
After that, whatever she said to Wenrou, Wenrou only responded perfunctorily.
"You're so beautiful, if the baby in your belly takes after you, it will definitely be even more beautiful." The woman seemed to realize Wenrou's wariness, so she set her sights on Wenrou's belly.
After all, pregnant women are often overflowing with maternal love, and if you bring up the topic of the baby, she will definitely let her guard down.
Then, she chatted with Wenrou about her previous pregnancy and told her a lot of things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
Wenrou looked down at her belly after hearing the woman's words. She hadn't thought about whether the child would look more like her or that man when it was born.
However, she was a little sleepy now, so she didn't continue chatting with the woman.
When it was time for lunch, Wenrou took the instant noodles and prepared to get hot water.
Seeing that her chance had come, the woman hurriedly followed.
Just then, the man who had been sitting next to the gentle aisle also followed.
Wenrou also noticed at this moment that the woman had given the middle-aged man next to her in the aisle several winks.
Clearly, these two are in cahoots.
So she encountered a human trafficking gang?
They dared to commit crimes on a train; they are incredibly audacious.
She said that the woman who had initiated the conversation with her earlier was definitely not innocent; she never expected that the woman was targeting her.
The two men saw that Wenrou was a very gentle person, so beautiful, and pregnant, so they figured she would be easy to deal with and decided to make their move on her.
Previously, in the Gobi Desert, Wenrou always wore a headscarf and didn't get much sun exposure.
In addition, she used the face cream that Huo Yanchuan bought for her every day, which made her skin even better.
Because of her pregnancy, she ate and slept well in the military compound and even gained a few pounds. Compared to her previous thin figure, she is now more plump.
She was already pretty, and now that she's recovered, she's even more beautiful. No wonder that woman set her sights on her the moment she got on the bus.
They originally thought that a woman as beautiful as her must be very delicate, but they underestimated the fighting power of gentleness.
At that moment, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses turned his head and looked in the direction where Wenrou had left, a subtle hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid woman. The woman from earlier was clearly a human trafficker, and the man sitting opposite him was her accomplice.
The woman was clearly being watched, and it looked like she was about to suffer.
