Chapter 106 Wenrou is in trouble
After Wenrou arrived home, she cooked two light dishes and sent them to her father.
When she arrived, the old man had already woken up and was getting out of bed to get a kettle to drink water.
Seeing this, Wenrou went over and handed him the water bottle.
Just then, she suddenly noticed a little white powder on the table, so she picked some up with her finger and smelled it under her nose with some doubt.
Upon smelling it, her brows furrowed and her expression changed drastically.
"Wait a minute, you can't drink this water." She turned around and saw that the old man had already opened the kettle and was about to drink, so she hurriedly stopped him loudly.
Upon hearing the gentle voice, the old man instinctively looked at the kettle.
"What's wrong, little girl? Is there something wrong with this kettle?" the old man asked, looking puzzled.
Wenrou shook her head gently. "I don't know either, I just feel like there might be a problem."
She wasn't a doctor and didn't know what the white powder was; it's just that since becoming pregnant, her sense of smell had become more sensitive than usual, and sometimes she could smell some unusual odors.
"Did anyone come to see you just now?" Wenrou asked the old man gently.
"no."
The old man had been sleeping the whole time; apart from the doctor at the medical station, no one else came over.
Wenrou took the kettle and some white powder that had fallen from the table and went to find the doctor.
The doctor examined the white powder in her hand, his expression changed slightly, and he said seriously, "This powder contains sedative ingredients."
Wenrou was startled when she heard this.
If the old man were drugged and passed out, his life would be in danger.
Who exactly wants to harm him?
The old man has only been here for a few days, and apart from the Huo family and the people in the family compound, only the military personnel know about it. Could it be the work of some kind of spy?
After this incident, Wenrou's first thought was that spies were harming people.
But then I thought about it again and realized it was impossible.
Even if there really is a spy, what value does the old man have that would make it worth going to such lengths to harm him?
Moreover, this is in the military, where the chances of getting caught are so high. Who would be so stupid?
If it's not a spy, then it can only be someone close to them.
Thinking of this, her gentle expression became much more serious.
If there really is a spy around, then we're in trouble.
She told the old man the news, and his face immediately darkened upon hearing it.
"I never expected there to be a spy here. Why would I want to harm my own people? What are you trying to do?"
Wenrou was stunned for a moment after hearing the old man's words, but she immediately understood.
"You mean...?"
The old man knew that Wenrou was very smart; she understood everything before he even finished speaking.
Wenrou followed the old man's instructions, poured out the water from the kettle, and acted as if nothing had happened.
The old man lay on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to have fallen asleep.
She waited in the ward for a while, and then heard footsteps outside.
Soon, someone opened the door from the outside, and the first person to enter was Huo Yanchuan's mother, Song Yulan.
Seeing the old man lying in the hospital bed, she called out with concern, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Then, Huo Yanchuan's father, Huo Jianjun, also came in.
He saw his father lying in bed, his face darkening.
At this moment, Song Yulan looked at Wenrou beside her and asked warily, "What are you doing here? Where are Yanchuan and Tingting?"
The old man was ill, and it turned out that it wasn't a member of the Huo family present, but rather a stranger named Wenrou, which made her suspicious.
"Huo Tingting ran away, and Huo Yanchuan went to find her," Wenrou said to Huo Yanchuan's parents, telling them the truth.
At this moment, Huo Jianjun also noticed Wenrou.
"You're the wife Yan Chuan married?" Although Huo Jianjun knew that Huo Yan Chuan was married, he had never met Wen Rou before, and this was the first time the two had met.
After Song Yulan and Huo Tingting returned home last time, they told him about Wenrou.
As far as he knew, Wenrou was just a woman from the countryside, and the father of her child was unknown.
This is the kind of woman who has his son completely captivated.
Huo Jianjun also served in the army, but was discharged due to injury.
After retiring from the military, he returned to Beijing and found a job. He is currently the logistics manager of a state-owned enterprise.
Besides the patriarch who made many military achievements when he joined the army, the Huo family now consists of Huo Yanchuan.
She looked at Huo Jianjun gently and nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
They are, after all, Huo Yanchuan's parents and her elders, and they deserve the respect they are due.
Huo Jianjun already had a lot of opinions about Wenrou, his daughter-in-law, because Song Yulan and Huo Tingting kept telling him that Wenrou was not good enough for Huo Yanchuan. Even when he first saw Wenrou, he had a lot of opinions about her.
"Jianjun, come quick, something's wrong with Dad." Just then, Song Yulan's anxious voice came over.
Upon seeing this, Huo Jianjun hurriedly went to the bedside to check on the patient.
Upon seeing that the old man was unconscious, his expression immediately darkened.
"Doctor, doctor..." he shouted loudly towards the outside.
Soon, the doctor came in, examined the old man's condition, and then had someone quickly take him to the town hospital.
Wenrou hadn't expected Huo Yanchuan's parents to come at this time. Seeing that the old man had been taken to the hospital, she followed them.
In the car, Song Yulan looked at Wenrou and coldly questioned, "What exactly did you do to the old man? The doctor said you were the only one here. Why did you try to harm him?"
Wenrou already had a bad impression of Song Yulan, and now, facing her slander, she said coldly, "I didn't do anything. I went home to cook for him, and he became like this after I came back."
She doesn't yet know who wants to harm the old man, so she hasn't told them the truth for the time being.
"You didn't do anything, so why is the old man like this? You're still lying at a time like this. How could Yan Chuan be interested in a woman like you?" Song Yulan, of course, didn't believe Wen Rou's words; she only believed her own guesses.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Wenrou didn't want to explain too much to them.
"You..." Song Yulan was furious because she hadn't expected Wenrou to have this attitude.
The car quickly arrived at the town hospital. As the old man was being taken into the operating room, Song Yulan and Huo Jianjun waited anxiously at the door.
Just then, a figure appeared here; it was Huo Tingting.
"Mom and Dad!" Huo Tingting ran over and rushed towards Song Yulan and the others.
"Tingting, what are you doing here?" Song Yulan was also surprised to see Huo Tingting.
Huo Tingting looked at Song Yulan and Huo Jianjun with a worried expression and said, "I rushed over as soon as I heard about Grandpa's accident. Is Grandpa alright?"
Song Yulan couldn't help but sigh and looked towards the operating room.
"Your grandfather is still inside undergoing emergency treatment. I don't know his current condition?"
Upon hearing this news, a strange glint flashed in Huo Tingting's eyes.
However, she quickly turned her attention to Wenrou.
"Didn't she take good care of Grandpa? What did she do to him to make him like this?"
Song Yulan had already suspected Wenrou, and now, upon hearing Huo Tingting's words, she walked directly towards Wenrou, raised her hand, and slapped her hard across the face.
Wenrou was sitting in a chair, wondering how Huo Tingting could appear here so quickly. She never expected Song Yulan to make a move so suddenly.
She was stunned by the beating; the spot where she was hit was both painful and numb, and her face immediately swelled up.
She stood up, looked at Song Yulan, and said coldly, "I'm only being polite to you because you're Huo Yanchuan's mother and an elder. Don't go too far."
"At this point, you still won't tell the truth? What exactly is your purpose? What did you do to the old man?" At this moment, Song Yulan was certain in her heart that the old man's accident was definitely related to Wenrou.
Huo Tingting saw that Wenrou had been beaten, and a smug look flashed in her eyes.
She reached out and pulled Song Yulan aside, comforting her, "Mom, calm down. My brother is so protective of her; he'll definitely be angry if he finds out you hit her."
Her words ignited Huo Jianjun's anger as well. "He's angry? When he gets here, I'll let him see what kind of wife he married! If anything happens to the old man, I'll beat him to death!"
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Huo Tingting turned her gaze to Wenrou.
"Grandpa trusted you so much, he even said those things about me because of you. He was so good to you, why did you hurt him? Don't you have any conscience?" Huo Tingting pretended to be heartbroken and scolded.
Seeing how well Huo Tingting acted, even managing to fool Huo Yanchuan's parents, Wenrou sneered.
"Huo Tingting, stop pretending. Weren't you the one who drugged the old man? Don't you know best why he's like this?"
Wenrou was initially unsure, but now that Huo Tingting was so eager to shift all the blame onto her, she couldn't help but have doubts.
Huo Tingting never expected that Wenrou would know.
A hint of guilt flashed in her gentle eyes, but she quickly recovered.
"You bitch, you still want to slander me at a time like this? If anything happens to Grandpa, I'll never forgive you." Huo Tingting's face showed some panic after feeling guilty.
After she finished speaking, she pounced on Wenrou.
Her target was, of course, the soft belly; no matter how capable she was normally, she was just a pregnant woman now.
When Wenrou saw that Huo Tingting's target was her stomach, she instinctively reached out to protect the baby in her womb. However, because of this, Huo Tingting pushed her hard, and her body was pushed backward uncontrollably.
She was startled and her back slammed hard against the wall behind her, while her arm bumped against the back of the chair next to her.
She endured the excruciating pain in her arms and back, her hands still protecting her stomach.
She didn't expect that Song Yulan would also come over at this moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tingting is a member of the Huo family. How could she possibly drug the old man? Things have come to this point, and you still don't repent and are trying to frame Tingting. It seems I've been too lenient with you before. You're coming with me now to find Yanchuan and explain things clearly so he can see your true colors."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Wenrou's arm, pulling her outside.
Wenrou was being pulled by one arm, and she lost her balance.
Seeing this opportunity, Huo Tingting's eyes flashed with a sinister glint. She rushed over and stood behind Wenrou, continuing to ram into her.
Wenrou completely lost her balance and fell straight forward.
Song Yulan didn't expect Huo Tingting to bump into Wenrou at this moment. She subconsciously let go of her hand and watched as Wenrou fell to the ground.
When Wenrou fell, even though she tried to protect her stomach with both hands, it was too late.
She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, so intense that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Help...help me! Someone, please help!"
She felt something flowing out of her body, and at that moment, even though she was usually very calm, she panicked a little.
My child, my child, you absolutely mustn't get into any trouble.
"Xiao Rou...wife," Huo Yanchuan's voice came at that moment.
He led his men to search for Huo Tingting, but couldn't find her. However, he heard the news that the old man had an accident, so he rushed over.
What he didn't expect was to see this scene.
"Brother Yanchuan."
"Yanchuan".
Upon seeing Huo Yanchuan, Song Yulan and Huo Tingting called out to him.
When Wenrou saw that the person who came was Huo Yanchuan, she clutched her stomach with one hand, and her other hand was stained red with blood.
She reached out and grabbed Huo Yanchuan's collar tightly, enduring the pain in her abdomen as she spoke to him, "Huo Yanchuan, if anything happens to our child, we'll really get a divorce this time. I mean it."
"No, nothing will happen, honey. Just bear with it. I'll take you to see a doctor right now." Huo Yanchuan was also frightened when he saw Wenrou like this.
He reached out and picked up Wenrou, then took her to see a doctor.
Hao Gang, who was following behind him, was momentarily stunned by what had happened.
But seeing how much blood Wenrou had lost, even he couldn't help but feel sorry for her, let alone the leader.
He looked up at Huo Tingting and Song Yulan, then turned around and followed them.
"How...how could this happen?" Song Yulan never intended to harm the child in Wenrou's womb; she was just angry that Wenrou had hurt the old man.
But what just happened was something she hadn't anticipated, especially seeing Yan Chuan's flustered appearance, she was at a loss for what to do.
"Mom, that bitch Wenrou's child wasn't originally from the Huo family. She's still trying to use the child to threaten my brother. It would be better if it were gone," Huo Tingting said from the side.
She had just heard it too; Wenrou said that if she lost the baby in her belly, she would divorce Huo Yanchuan. She couldn't wait for them to divorce as soon as possible.
When Song Yulan heard what she said, she also felt that there was some truth to it.
She never thought much of her daughter-in-law Wenrou, so if they divorced because of this, it would be a good thing.
