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

Chapter 147 This is your second brother's biological son

When Wenrou woke up, she was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.

This dream...

She knew this wasn't a dream; it was a real experience she had had in her past life.

But by then she had already severed ties with her family. After being abandoned by the Zhou family, she was too ashamed to go back to see them.

In the end, he could only starve to death on the street.

Of course, she heard all of this from Zhou Chunmei, and at the time, she had no way of knowing how much of it was true.

Zhou Chunmei looked down on her at that time, and she thought those words were just lies, so she didn't take them to heart.

But now that she has suddenly learned that her second brother has brought back a child, she realizes that what Zhou Chunmei told her in her previous life may very well be true.

If it's true, then why was the second brother executed?

And what exactly happened to that child?

When she gets back, she must find out the truth and not let her second brother be executed without any explanation.

From childhood to adulthood, her eldest and second eldest brothers treated her very well, especially her second eldest brother. He heard that when she was first born, Li Xiuying listened to her uncle's family's advice and thought she was a money-losing burden, so she wanted to send her away.

At that time, she had already found a family to support her without telling her family.

While her family was away, they sent her away.

Fortunately, her second brother discovered the situation in time, found the family, caused a huge scene, and even got his head smashed, before finally managing to rescue her.

My older brother said that at that time, he was carrying her and only caring about running home, ignoring the injury on his head.

When they got home, their faces were covered in blood, and they looked horrifying.

From that time on, whenever it was just her and Li Xiuying at home, he would stay home and watch over her, preventing Li Xiuying from sending her away.

It was because of her that Li Xiuying finally had to give up the idea of ​​sending her away.

If it weren't for her second brother, she wouldn't know where she would have been sent, or what she would be like now.

Therefore, for Wenrou, her second brother was more important to her than anyone else.

In her past life, she didn't have the chance to find out what happened to her second brother that led to his execution. In this life, she's determined to find out.

If she had the chance, she would definitely save her second brother.

Wenrou told Huo Yanchuan about the dream, and early the next morning, the two packed their things and prepared to return to the countryside with their child.

On the way, Huo Yanchuan noticed her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry, it hasn't happened yet. When we get back, I'll help you investigate and see what's going on."

He knew that any dream Wenrou had could potentially come true in reality.

So the reason she was in such a hurry to go back this time was because she was worried about her second brother, Wen Jinian.

Hearing Huo Yanchuan say this, Wenrou breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Perhaps it was because of the dream she had last night that she was so nervous and anxious.

Now that I've calmed down, I realize that there's still some time before my second brother's accident happened in his previous life, it won't be that soon.

It takes two or three days to drive from here to the countryside. The two adults were fine, but the two children were probably not used to being cooped up in the car for a long time and would cry and fuss every now and then.

Huo Yanchuan had no choice but to stay at a guesthouse since they couldn't travel at night. They waited until the two children were in a better mood before continuing their journey.

He drove slowly on the road, and it wasn't until the fourth day that he finally arrived in the countryside.

Huo Yanchuan had been here twice before, so this time he knew the way well and drove directly into the village with Wenrou and the two children, parking in front of Wenrou's house.

When Huo Yanchuan's car arrived at the village entrance, Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang had already received the news and the whole family was already standing at the door waiting.

After Wenrou got out of the car with the child and Huo Yanchuan, Li Xiuying greeted them warmly with a smile.

"You must be tired from the journey. Come home quickly, Mom has already prepared dinner and is just waiting for you to come back and eat." With Huo Yanchuan, a regimental commander, as her son-in-law, Li Xiuying was naturally proud.

After getting out of the car, Wenrou saw her whole family standing at the door, so she greeted them: "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Wen Jiguang also came over to help Wenrou with her luggage and greeted Huo Yanchuan.

Liu Xiaoyu, holding the child in her arms, walked towards Wenrou with a smile. "Xiaorou, you're finally back! Your parents have been talking about you every day."

She only took half of what she said in a gentle tone; she knew her mother's character well enough.

She believed Wen Jianshe wanted her to come back, but Li Xiuying, who was so concerned about her image, would probably only be thinking about the gifts she brought back.

However, she and Huo Yanchuan returned in a bit of a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts.

As expected, Li Xiuying's expression changed slightly when she saw that Wenrou and the others hadn't brought any gifts, showing some dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything.

"How are the children? Are they behaving well?" Liu Xiaoyu handed the sleeping child to Wen Jiguang and came over to look at the child in Wenrou's arms.

Seeing the children's beautiful appearance, she immediately smiled and praised, "Oh my, these two children are so good-looking. They will definitely grow up to be great beauties like you."

In Liu Xiaoyu's opinion, Wenrou was already pretty enough, but she didn't expect the doll in her arms to be even more beautiful.

She herself also had a daughter, so the two of them naturally had a lot in common.

However, she also knew that Li Xiuying's preference for sons over daughters would not change easily. Ever since the child was born, she had always disliked that it was a girl and would not even hold her.

"Sister-in-law, is everything alright at home?" Wenrou asked Liu Xiaoyu with concern.

She knew that given Li Xiuying's preference for sons over daughters, Liu Xiaoyu would inevitably suffer mistreatment at home after giving birth to a daughter.

Although she is now in charge of the household, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been complicated.

Liu Xiaoyu forced a smile. "Everything is fine at home, and my parents are doing well too. You don't need to worry."

Although Li Xiuying had a problem with her and was always picking on her, Wen Jiguang was kind to her.

For Liu Xiaoyu, marrying Wen Jiguang was already a great blessing. She didn't dare to ask for anything more, only hoping that the two of them could live a good life together.

Although Li Xiuying would cause her trouble every now and then, it wasn't too excessive, and she could handle it.

I didn't tell Wenrou about this because I didn't want her to worry or cause her any trouble.

Even though Liu Xiaoyu praised her two gentle daughters so highly, Li Xiuying didn't come over to hug them.

Wenrou didn't expect anything from her, so she simply took the two children into the house with Huo Yanchuan.

Her room was still there. After gently coaxing the two children to sleep, she put them in her own room.

When they came out, they saw that Li Xiuying and Liu Xiaoyu had prepared a large table full of dishes, and there was also wine that Liu Xiaoyu had asked Wen Jiguang to buy.

Wen Jianshe was overjoyed to finally have his daughter and son-in-law back, and of course he had to have a good drink with Huo Yanchuan.

Looking at the wine Wen Jiguang bought, Li Xiuying was somewhat dissatisfied, but could only mutter under her breath, "Why buy wine? It's such a waste of money. I should have known better than to let you manage the household. You have no idea how hard my son works to earn money."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly, but she pretended not to have heard it.

Li Xiuying was used to this, but sometimes she didn't mind suffering a little grievance. She was just worried that Wen Jiguang would find out and make things difficult for him.

Just then, Li Xiuying led a child out of the room. It was a boy, about four or five years old.

She held the little boy's hand, laughing heartily.

"Xiao Bao, come here quickly. This is your aunt and your uncle. Greet them." Li Xiuying introduced Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan to the child with a smile.

The little boy looked at Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan and obediently called out, "Auntie, Uncle."

Wenrou looked at the little boy and guessed his identity, but pretended not to know and asked the others with a puzzled expression, "Whose child is this?"

Upon hearing Wenrou's question, everyone else's expression changed.

Wen Jianshe, in particular, frowned deeply, his face looking quite grim. He simply sighed and remained silent.

Wen Jiguang was similarly solemn, his face serious, and he even stopped eating.

Seeing her father-in-law and husband acting this way, Liu Xiaoyu didn't know how to explain.

Seeing the way they looked, Wenrou knew that this matter was not simple.

Huo Yanchuan sat down next to Wenrou, his gaze fixed on the little boy. His eyes were sharp, and he exuded a military aura. The little boy glanced at Huo Yanchuan and then lowered his head guiltily.

He didn't dare look at Huo Yanchuan at all, feeling that his uncle's eyes were terrifying, as if he could see right through the things his mother had told him.

No one else spoke, but Li Xiuying couldn't wait to introduce Wenrou: "What do you mean, whose child? This is your nephew, the son your second brother brought back. He's a child of the Wen family."

Because Liu Xiaoyu gave birth to a daughter, Li Xiuying lost face in front of the villagers.

These days, the preference for sons over daughters is still very serious in the village.

She used to have two sons in a row, and everyone in the village envied her. She was incredibly successful back then.

Now, she was hoping her eldest daughter-in-law would give her a grandson, but it turned out to be a girl.

The villagers secretly mocked her daughter-in-law for being incompetent and unable to give birth to a grandson.

Li Xiuying gets furious whenever she mentions this matter, but she never expected that her second son would bring her back a grandson.

To show off her eldest grandson, Li Xiuying would take him for a walk around the village every day.

Let's see who in the village will dare to say she doesn't have a precious grandson from now on?

Since the child came to live with them, Li Xiuying has been spoiling him rotten.

Whatever he wanted, she would try her best to get it for him.

Wen Jiguang and Liu Xiaoyu saw this, but they didn't know how to advise them.

If they dare to say a bad word about her eldest grandson, Li Xiuying will make a huge scene at home.

Seeing that Li Xiuying favored that boy, Liu Xiaoyu felt envious for her daughter.

She also thought to herself, "If only I had given birth to a son."

However, Wen Jiguang did not mind, saying that he would love her whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter.

"Second brother's child?" Wenrou asked the little boy with a puzzled look.

She couldn't find any resemblance between this child and her second brother, but for some reason, the child's eyes always gave her a sense of familiarity.

"When did Second Brother get married? How come I didn't know?" Wenrou continued to stare at the little boy and asked.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuying explained to her, "This is the child your second brother had with another woman. His mother had some trouble, so your second brother brought the child back first. He didn't inform his family when he got married because he lived far away."

"Really?" Wenrou certainly didn't believe it.

When this matter was brought up, Wen Jianshe's expression became even more unpleasant.

Now everyone in the village is saying that Wen Jinian brought home a child without getting married, and they've never even seen the child's mother. They're saying he must be messing around outside.

Some people even said that the child didn't look like a member of the Wen family at all, and that he had become a "bad boy" who was raising another man's child.

Anyway, there are all sorts of rumors circulating in the village now. During this period, everyone except Li Xiuying has been extremely worried about this matter.

"Where is Second Brother now?" Wenrou asked at this moment.

She heard from her eldest brother in the letter that her second brother had returned, but they had been back for so long and she still hadn't seen her second brother. Wenrou was puzzled.

"After he left the child with us, he said he had something to do and has been gone for several days. We haven't seen him since," Wen Jianshe said coldly.

This second child was a troublemaker even when he was young, always getting into fights and causing trouble for the family.

Now, after all these years, she's finally back, only to bring back a child and then disappear again.

Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan, who gave her a comforting look. He said he would find someone to investigate tomorrow to see what Wen Jinian had been doing all these years.

"Oh dear, the second child said he's busy outside. Besides, the child is so young. What's wrong with us, as his grandparents, helping to look after him for a few days?"

Li Xiuying was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing Wen Jianshe's words.

"Xiaorou, Yanchuan, this child is your second brother's own son. As elders, shouldn't you prepare a red envelope as a gift for the child?" Li Xiuying said to Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan while holding the child.

Her words clearly showed her dissatisfaction with Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan's attitude towards her beloved grandson. The child had called them, and as elders, they hadn't shown any respect at all, which was quite inappropriate.

Wenrou was already used to Li Xiuying's behavior. She looked at the little boy and said with a smile, "A gift for meeting you? Of course I've prepared one. It's in the room. I'll give it to him in a bit."

As she spoke, she reached out and took the little boy's arm, smiling gently. "Your name is Xiaobao, right? Can you tell your auntie what your parents' names are?"

Xiao Bao looked at Wenrou, then at Li Xiuying, and shook his head. His mother had told him that he should never tell anyone his name.
