Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 80 The Future Richest Man Invites Me to Dinner
At this moment, Peng Xiaowan finally recovered from the shock she had just experienced.
She looked gentle, and although she was a stranger to me, I was grateful to her for what had just happened.
Only then did she notice Peng Shao standing to the side, and exclaimed in shock and surprise, "Brother, you're back?"
"I'm sorry I'm late." Meeting Peng Xiaowan's gaze, Peng Shao looked full of self-reproach.
If he had come back to visit sooner, my second uncle's family wouldn't be in this state now.
Thinking of the scene of Wang Dafu bullying her just now, Peng Shao's face became even more unpleasant.
"It's already a blessing that you're back. Don't blame yourself. What happened at home has nothing to do with you." Peng Xiaowan looked at Peng Shao, her eyes welling up with tears.
She thought she would never see Peng Shao again in her life, but she never expected him to come back at this time.
Now that he was the only family member left in the house, Peng Xiaowan could no longer hold back and rushed over to hug Peng Shao.
"elder brother."
Peng Shao also reached out and hugged his younger sister, gently patting her back.
When Wenrou saw Wang Dafu trying to run away, she found a rope, tied him up, and took him out so he wouldn't disturb the brother and sister.
She waited outside for a while and then saw Peng Xiaowan come out wiping away her tears.
At this moment, Peng Shao's gaze fell on Wang Dafu, his face terribly gloomy.
"Peng Shao?" Wang Dafu looked at Peng Shao, not expecting him to come back.
"How dare you bully my sister? Do you really think the Peng family has no one left?" Peng Shao said coldly, raising his foot and kicking Wang Dafu hard in the chest.
Wang Dafu was kicked to the ground. He was unlucky; he never expected Peng Shao to come back at this time.
Not only did it ruin his plans, it almost made him childless.
Wang Dafu glared at Peng Shao and spat on the ground.
"If you've got the guts, let me go."
He didn't take Peng Shao seriously at all, but...
He turned to look in Wenrou's direction. This woman was incredibly strong and ruthless. He, a grown man, had no strength to fight back against her. It was terrifying.
"Are you dreaming?" Wenrou snorted coldly and kicked him again.
Wang Dafu dared not provoke Wenrou any further, so he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and shut his mouth.
At this moment, Peng Xiaowan looked at Wenrou and said with gratitude, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Looking at the gentle, large belly, she was even more shocked; she was truly amazing.
Thinking that Wenrou was the first woman her older brother brought home, and that she was pregnant, he assumed she was his sister-in-law.
Wenrou was taken aback by being called "sister-in-law," and then explained, "I have nothing to do with Peng Shao, don't misunderstand, I'm not his wife."
Seeing that Peng Xiaowan had misunderstood, Peng Shao nodded and introduced her, "This is Wenrou, a friend I met on the road. She came here to look for someone."
"I'm sorry." Peng Xiaowan realized she had misunderstood and quickly apologized to Wenrou.
Ignoring Wenrou's fierce kick just now, seeing how beautiful she is and how well she matches her older brother, it's no wonder she made a mistake.
"My name is Wenrou. I think we're about the same age. People call me Xiaorou. You can call me that too," Wenrou said to Peng Xiaowan.
"Xiaorou, thank you for earlier." Peng Xiaowan also liked her gentle and generous personality.
Wenrou waved her hand gently, "Don't mention it, I'll probably need your help to find the person I'm looking for."
Anyway, it was just something she did on the side, not a big help.
Soon, Wang Dafu was sent to the village brigade by Peng Shao.
Upon learning of Wang Dafu's actions, the village secretary followed Peng Shao's advice and sent him to the police station.
After resolving Wang Dafu's matter, Peng Xiaowan took the afternoon off and went home with Peng Shao and Wenrou.
She doesn't come back very often, and since her parents passed away, no one has lived in the house.
However, she comes back to clean when she has time, so it's still fairly clean.
"By the way, Xiaorou, who are you looking for?" After sitting down, Peng Xiaowan looked at Wenrou and asked.
"He's an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, his surname should be Wen." Wenrou told Peng Xiaowan about the person she was looking for.
She knew it when she heard it.
"If you're looking for Mr. Wen, I'll take you there after we finish eating."
As Peng Xiaowan spoke, she got up to prepare to cook again.
At noon, Peng Xiaowan made each of them a bowl of egg noodles.
Wenrou was also hungry, and she finished her meal in a few bites.
Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan, on the other hand, ate with much more elegance. They stared wide-eyed at Wenrou's eating speed, looking quite surprised.
The Peng family is considered a scholarly family; even Uncle Peng the Second only completed junior high school before dropping out.
Therefore, they were both taught to be well-behaved from a young age, to sit properly, stand properly, and eat properly.
Wenrou noticed the way they were looking at her and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm a little hungry."
She doesn't eat much on the train anyway, and now that she's pregnant with two babies, the three of them naturally digest food faster than usual.
She gets hungry again very soon after eating, so she always carries some food with her.
"Then I'll go get you another bowl." Peng Xiaowan said, picking up the gentle bowl and going to the kitchen to get her another bowl.
Considering that Wenrou is pregnant, it's normal for her to eat more.
However, neither of them expected that Wenrou's appetite was greater than the two of them combined.
She ate four bowls of this ordinary egg noodles in one go.
Although Peng Shao was shocked by Wenrou's appetite, it was the first time he had ever met a woman like her. At first, he found her interesting, but gradually he was attracted by her personality and couldn't help but become interested in her.
After the meal, Peng Xiaowan took Peng Shao and Wenrou to Dr. Wen's place.
Dr. Wen had only recently arrived in their village. He had heard from others that he was originally from this village, but later drifted to other places and became someone's son-in-law. Now that he had returned, it was as if he had finally come back to his roots.
Dr. Wen is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also well-educated. In his spare time, he teaches the village children to read and write.
Therefore, many people also call him Mr. Wen, and he likes this title very much.
When they arrived at Dr. Wen's house, Wenrou finally found someone.
When Dr. Wen heard that Wenrou came from Qingwan Village, he was also taken aback.
"Are you Wen Jianshe's daughter?" He also remembered Wenrou.
She responded gently, and then heard Dr. Wen ask again, "Where do you feel unwell, and what illness do you want treated?"
"It's not me, I'm here on behalf of my husband. He was injured while on a mission in that area, and I wanted to ask if there's any way to heal him?" Wenrou explained her purpose to the doctor.
After she finished speaking, the Peng siblings behind her were stunned.
Peng Xiaowan, who was not married, blushed upon hearing this.
Peng Shao is not married either. Although he is a man, he did not expect Wenrou to say it so bluntly.
He led Peng Xiaowan out, and didn't let her listen anymore.
Wenrou hadn't considered these things. After all, in later generations, there were even hospitals that specialized in treating men's diseases, and male infertility wasn't a shameful issue.
"He needs to come in himself to find out the specifics. We need to examine him before we can determine the truth." Dr. Wen is a doctor after all, and he is used to being asked questions gently.
Wenrou nodded after hearing this. It seemed she would have to find a way to trick Huo Yanchuan into coming over first.
Knowing that the man is proud, if I directly told him that I wanted to treat that area, he probably wouldn't agree to come.
However, when Wenrou left, Dr. Wen told her about another possible situation.
"If there's nothing wrong with your appearance, it could be psychological."
Wenrou was taken aback upon hearing this. "Is it just psychological?"
So, it's possible that Huo Yanchuan's claim of being infertile is false; perhaps he simply has no interest in women and can't get an erection.
"I understand, thank you, doctor." Wenrou thanked the doctor and then left.
She remembered hearing from people in the family compound that Huo Yanchuan refused to go to the military hospital in Beijing for treatment. If he was really injured, how could he possibly resist seeking treatment?
Could it really be a psychological problem?
Wenrou had a guess in her mind and planned to verify it when she went back.
If it is indeed a psychological problem, then intervention and treatment must be carried out gradually; one cannot rush it.
"Are you done asking questions?" Peng Shao asked when he saw her come out.
She nodded gently. "Okay, you can go back now."
She was thinking about Huo Yanchuan, and her face showed that she had something on her mind.
Seeing her like this, Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan didn't dare to ask any more questions.
However, Peng Shao was also wondering, if her husband had problems in that area, then whose child was she carrying?
However, he and Wenrou had only just met, so it wasn't appropriate for him to ask such questions.
"It's already late today, and we can't go back now. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. You and Xiao Wan can spend the night together, and you can go back tomorrow," Peng Shao suggested.
Gentlely hummed in agreement; this was all that could be done for now.
Peng Xiaowan was overjoyed to learn that her uncle had been found.
"Xiao Wan, do you want to come with me? I'm really worried about leaving you here alone."
Peng Shao made this decision after careful consideration. Now that his second uncle and aunt are gone, he worries that after he is gone, others will bully him, thinking about what happened to Wang Dafu today.
Peng Xiaowan never expected to hear news of her uncle and elder brother again in her lifetime. She had thought she would have to live alone for the rest of her life.
Now she has not only seen her eldest brother, but also learned about her uncle; she has family again.
So he nodded. "I'll go with you."
Anyway, she had nothing left to worry about here, so she might as well go with her older brother to find her uncle.
My aunt has left, and now my uncle is all alone.
In an environment like the Gobi Desert, even living alone was a problem for him.
As long as they can be together as a family, they will be happy no matter where they are.
"Alright, let's set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Wenrou had no objection to their decision, and she agreed to let Xiaowan go with them, otherwise, after Peng Shao left, someone would still bully her.
Besides, with her around, Professor Peng wouldn't have such a hard time on his own.
That night, Wenrou simply stayed at the Peng family's house. The other rooms in the house were not cleaned, so she and Peng Xiaowan squeezed onto the same kang (a heated brick bed).
The next morning, they got up, ate breakfast, and set off.
Peng Xiaowan had packed almost everything she needed to bring. She was planning to cook something to eat on the train, but Peng Shao stopped her.
"No need, I'll buy it in town later."
Yesterday, Wenrou didn't realize how wealthy this future business tycoon was, but today she finally saw it for herself.
She originally planned to continue by train back, but after they arrived in town, Peng Shaoxian took them to the department store, where Wenrou saw a Hongqi sedan parked in front of the building.
Her eyes widened as she saw the driver open the door and say something to Peng Shao, then respectfully hand the car keys to him.
Seeing their wide eyes, Peng Shao said, "Put whatever you want to buy in the car, and we'll drive over."
"This...this is your car?" Wenrou thought to herself, "No wonder he's a big shot, he even has a sedan."
Even in Beijing, there are only a handful of these cars left.
In this town, you probably couldn't find even one.
"Boss, I'm just borrowing it for a bit," Peng Shao said.
Wenrou nodded gently, thinking that it made sense. Nowadays, unless you're a city or prefecture-level leader, ordinary people are simply not allowed to buy this kind of car.
However, given Peng Shao's status, the fact that he was able to borrow a car from a leader already demonstrates his power.
"Brother, this... can we really ride in this car?" Peng Xiaowan had never seen a car like this before, and she asked incredulously.
Peng Shao smiled and said, "Let's go buy some things first."
As he spoke, he led Peng Xiaowan and Wenrou into the women's clothing section first.
Seeing that Peng Xiaowan didn't have many clothes, he simply took her to buy some as well.
He looked at Wenrou and said, "Pick a few clothes for me too, as a thank you for your help earlier."
Wenrou shook her head at Peng Shao's extravagant spending, "No need, I have clothes."
She and Peng Shao were just ordinary friends, and she couldn't accept him giving her clothes to wear.
Besides, she has her own money and doesn't need anyone else to buy it for her.
Seeing that she said that, Peng Shao didn't say anything more.
After buying clothes, he also bought some household items.
With gentle reminders, I also bought Professor Peng a few clothes to wear.
After buying the clothes, Peng Shao took them to a state-run restaurant.
Wenrou had only passed by the state-run restaurant a few times in her previous life; this was her first time entering.
"Since you won't accept my offer to buy you clothes, how about I treat you to a meal?" Peng Shao looked at Wenrou, his eyes showing some worry that she might refuse again.
"Having dinner is fine, no problem." How could she refuse a dinner invitation from a future billionaire?
Besides, she was indeed hungry, so she might as well try how delicious the food at this state-run restaurant was.
However, just as they entered and were about to find a place to sit down, they heard several footsteps at the door, followed by several men in military uniforms walking in.
The man at the head of the group had a serious face and a cold demeanor, especially his sharp eyes, which were now staring directly in the direction of Wenrou.
Wenrou also saw him and was immediately stunned. Wasn't Huo Yanchuan supposed to have returned to his unit? What was he doing here?
