Chapter 193 The newspaper wants to interview Wenrou
Upon hearing that reporters had come to interview, Feng Yumei, as the women's director of the family compound, naturally had to go up to greet them.
At this time, Sun Mei had already told Fang Yuru the good news.
Fang Yuru was taken aback when she heard that a reporter from the newspaper was coming to interview her.
She only donated ten yuan, and they want to interview her?
However, remembering her status, she raised her head, straightened her back, and walked out with an air of superiority.
"Comrades, I am the women's director of the residential compound. Welcome to our interview." Feng Yumei greeted the people from the newspaper office with a smile as soon as she arrived at the door.
After the newspaper staff signed their forms at the door, they all came in together.
However, Tan Lin also came in with them. She was familiar with the people at the newspaper and, upon hearing that they wanted to interview Wen Rou, decided to come along as well.
At this moment, Sun Mei and Fang Yuru were already standing at the door to greet the newspaper staff.
Sun Mei was even happier than when she was being interviewed. Seeing the newspaper staff approaching, she quickly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Reporters, this is the wife of Commander Tan, whom you are going to interview. She donated the most money in our family compound this time. You must make sure to interview her well!"
As soon as Sun Mei finished speaking, Fang Yuru stepped forward with a smile, preparing to shake hands with the newspaper staff, when she heard a voice from the side.
"I heard that the division commander's wife donated ten yuan. This is the first time I've heard that donating ten yuan is considered a lot. The person our newspaper is going to interview this time donated five thousand yuan to the disaster area. Her amount is not even a fraction of what the other person donated."
Tan Lin had long disliked Fang Yuru. Given her personality, she was eager to humiliate her now that she had finally found an opportunity.
She never expected Fang Yuru to be so shameless, treating a donation of only ten yuan as if she had donated one hundred thousand yuan.
She even wanted to be interviewed by a newspaper?
As expected, upon hearing Tan Lin's words, Fang Yuru's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Sun Mei standing to the side.
"What? Five thousand yuan? How is that possible? Who in our residential compound is that rich?" Sun Mei asked, her eyes wide with shock.
Five thousand yuan is equivalent to what an ordinary worker would earn in ten years without eating or drinking. Just how rich must someone be to donate so much in one go?
Moreover, she had never heard of anyone in the family compound donating so much money all at once. She wondered if it was a scam.
Feng Yumei, having recovered from her shock, looked at her colleagues at the newspaper and asked with great curiosity, "Comrades, who exactly is this person you're talking about? Did she really donate that much?"
Upon hearing this, a reporter from the newspaper said, "She is Commander Huo's lover, Comrade Wenrou."
After the newspaper staff finished speaking, they ignored the group and went to Wenrou's house with Tan Lin.
Upon reaching the door, Tan Lin couldn't wait to step forward and knock.
"Xiaorou, the colleagues from the newspaper are here. They say they want to interview you."
She was even happier than Wenrou, and couldn't wait to share the good news at the door.
Hearing Tan Lin's voice, Wenrou walked over and opened the door, only to see her standing there with the newspaper staff.
"Sister Tan Lin, you said the newspaper wants to interview me?" Wenrou asked, looking stunned.
"We heard that you donated 5,000 yuan to the comrades in the disaster area all by yourself, so we wanted to interview you." The newspaper staff were very enthusiastic when they saw Wenrou.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Yumei and Sun Mei, who were not far away, were stunned.
They couldn't believe that Wenrou had donated five thousand yuan.
Fang Yuru's face had turned ashen, and she stared intently at Tan Lin not far away.
is her!
Tan Lin looks very much like her mother. Fang Yuru was too stunned to recognize her earlier, but now she couldn't possibly mistake her.
Tan Lin? What's she doing here?
What a coincidence! She appeared just two days after I arrived, and she's already so close to Huo Yanchuan's wife?
Could there be a tender relationship involved?
Thinking of this, Fang Yuru looked at Wenrou with hostility in her eyes.
I originally thought she was just an ignorant woman from the countryside, but I never expected her to be so cunning.
I underestimated her.
Wenrou was only thinking about donating some money to the disaster area; she didn't expect that people from the newspaper would come to interview her.
So he said some symbolic words to keep the conversation going and then quickly ended the meeting.
She wasn't used to being interviewed, after all, she hadn't intended for others to know about the donation.
I just didn't expect that Feng Yumei and her group would take the initiative to cause trouble under the guise of donating money. In this way, things have finally calmed down.
Feng Yumei and the others originally thought that Wenrou had not donated money and wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for her, but they did not expect that she not only donated, but also donated so much money.
Those who had previously questioned the gentleness were thoroughly proven wrong, their faces showing increasing embarrassment.
They probably couldn't earn that much money in their entire lives.
But she was so gentle that she didn't even blink before donating it all.
Comparing yourself to others can really make you angry!
Sun Mei was so angry her face almost contorted, and she felt even more heartbroken about the five yuan she had donated.
I originally thought that by donating more, I could get in touch with the division commander's wife and become closer to her.
But now, because of his gentleness, he has not only offended the division commander's wife, but also lost so much of his money.
Five yuan is enough to cover their family's food expenses for a week.
How could she not hate Wenrou?
When Aunt Zhu returned and learned that Sun Mei had donated five yuan, she was heartbroken.
Things are different now. The whole family is living off her son's meager allowance. With the addition of Sun Mei's son, life has become even more difficult.
Before, Wang Guixiang earned money, and the family could occasionally eat meat. Now, she has almost forgotten what meat tastes like.
Even so, Sun Mei still spent money extravagantly, and she could only endure it for the sake of her eldest grandson.
She only hoped that Sun Mei could give birth to a big, healthy boy for the Zhu family soon, so that she could rest easy.
After finishing the interview, Wenrou saw the newspaper reporter off and then went home with Tan Lin.
"Sister Tan Lin, are you alright?" she asked gently with concern.
Fang Yuru and her daughter now live in the family compound, and she must have run into them during her visit.
Thinking back to the last time when Commander Tan didn't even notice his own daughter, Wenrou couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"It's alright, what could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, I'll handle this myself." Tan Lin gave Wenrou a reassuring look.
Besides, she had just embarrassed Fang Yuru so much and made her lose face. Just thinking about Fang Yuru's expression made her happy. How could anything have happened to her?
Moreover, after her mother took her away from the military compound and she learned that her father had remarried, she no longer had any expectations for that family.
Seeing that Tan Lin looked much better now, apart from the somewhat disappointed look she had last time, she felt relieved.
"I have to leave the day after tomorrow, so I came to see you today and also to check on Fang Yuru." Tan Lin also came to say goodbye to Wenrou.
"Leaving so soon? I haven't had a chance to properly entertain you yet." Wenrou said with a hint of regret upon hearing that Tan Lin was leaving.
After spending these few days together, she has come to regard Tan Lin as a friend, and sometimes admires her straightforward and open-minded personality that helps her avoid internal conflict.
Sometimes I even think it would have been better if they had met sooner, so they could have become friends sooner.
"Don't worry, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future," Tan Lin said with a smile.
She talked with Wenrou for a while longer before leaving when it was almost time.
Wenrou originally thought it was just a regular interview, but she didn't expect to see her interview in the newspaper the next day.
She became famous overnight, and not only that, the military made an exception for her by awarding her a special honor medal for military family members.
"Is this for me?" Wenrou stared at the medal Huo Yanchuan handed her, completely stunned.
"Of course it's for you. Your name is on it. You earned this honor yourself. If you have the opportunity to be transferred back to Beijing in the future, this medal will also have special privileges in the military compound." Huo Yanchuan looked at his wife with eyes full of affection.
"There are special privileges?" Wenrou was even more surprised.
She knew Huo Yanchuan had many medals of honor, but she didn't expect that she would have one now. Although they were only for family members, they were still medals, and as long as they were useful, that was fine.
"Oh, right, Tan Lin and the others are leaving tomorrow. I'll go see them off," Wenrou mentioned to Huo Yanchuan.
"Yes, it would be good to deliver it." He nodded.
Wenrou felt it was a pity to talk about it, "I thought she would be able to meet Commander Tan and his daughter this time, but she left without even seeing them?"
"If she wants to see him, she will, so don't worry about it." Huo Yanchuan walked over and hugged her.
According to what he knew, Commander Tan hadn't forgotten about her all these years, but she had been hiding and refusing to meet him; otherwise, the father and daughter would have met long ago.
Given his position, he couldn't interfere in the Tan family's affairs, so he could only let Tan Lin handle it herself.
My wife, on the other hand, seems to have become even busier since she came back.
Every day, by the time he comes home, he's already asleep.
Now that I've finally got this chance, how could I possibly let it go?
Wenrou knew exactly what the man was thinking, but her mind was still on her work.
Once the transport team has matured, we can start operating in other cities.
Also, she had promised Lu Ming that she was going to do a batch of electrical appliance business in Guangdong Province, which was developing rapidly.
"Wait a minute, I still have to work a little longer. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first." Wenrou reached out and took Huo Yanchuan's restless hand off her chest.
They were still in the living room. It would be so embarrassing if Li Xiuying or Jiang Yan came out and saw them.
"Alright, let's stop here for today. It's getting late. I'll carry you to take a bath and go to bed."
After closing Wenrou's work notebook, Huo Yanchuan reached out and picked her up from the chair, preparing to carry her into the room.
Wenrou had no choice but to reach out and hug his neck. Well, she admitted that she had also felt a little aroused by his touch earlier.
Just then, Jiang Yan's room door opened, and he happened to see Huo Yanchuan embracing Wenrou, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"Xiao Yan, why aren't you asleep yet?" Wenrou asked gently to ease the awkwardness.
"I'll have some water," Jiang Yan said, and walked into the kitchen.
Although he was young, he knew everything he should know. He blushed and hurriedly went to the kitchen to drink a large bowl of water.
Wenrou gently punched Huo Yanchuan and whispered, "There are children at home, be more careful in the future."
"It's alright, he'll probably be going to middle school in town soon." Huo Yanchuan carried the person into the room.
"Huh? What do you mean by saying Xiaoyan is going to junior high school in town?" Wenrou was taken aback.
If you calculate the time, there is still a year before Jiang Yan will start junior high school. How could it be so fast?
"Didn't he tell you? He participated in an elementary school competition, won first prize, and was directly admitted to the town's junior high school."
Hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Wenrou was surprised, but also happy for Jiang Yan.
This child is really smart; he has never disappointed them when it comes to his studies.
She's just been too busy these past few days and hasn't noticed such a big happy event at home.
"Then I'll go buy him some new clothes tomorrow. He can't be wearing his old clothes at the new school. And there are other things too..."
Wenrou thought about how Jiang Yan was going to school in town, which would mean he would be far from home and she wouldn't be able to take care of him anymore. She wanted to provide him with everything he needed.
But just as she finished thinking about these things, she looked down and realized that her clothes had vanished.
He even bit her neck, leaving a red mark.
"Be gentle! How am I supposed to go out tomorrow? What am I supposed to say if people ask?"
Wenrou covered her neck and glared at Huo Yanchuan.
"No need to say anything, everyone understands."
After Huo Yanchuan finished speaking, he kissed her again. After this ordeal, Wenrou didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Huo Yanchuan, take it easy, I can't go on." Wenrou said breathlessly, pushing Huo Yanchuan who was still preparing to continue.
Unfortunately, her current soft and weak demeanor, speaking in a coquettish manner, made Huo Yanchuan's eyes even redder.
So a pair of large hands pressed against her waist, and he couldn't resist doing it again.
They only let her go when Wenrou was too weak to speak.
The next day, Wenrou looked at the red bite marks on her neck and sighed helplessly.
In this sweltering heat, she couldn't easily cover herself with a scarf, so she could only wear a shirt and use the collar to cover herself.
However, Huo Yanchuan's bite was in an awkward, inconsequential spot; even though the collar covered it, it was still easily visible to others.
Wenrou saw Tanlin off early in the morning. After saying goodbye to her, Tanlin turned around to leave and noticed the red mark on Wenrou's neck. Then she immediately understood.
So he jokingly said, "You two should take it easy. Even if you're young, you still need to take care of your health."
Wenrou blushed instantly upon hearing her words.
After seeing Tan Lin off, Wenrou realized that her second brother should have arrived today.
She wrote a letter to Wen Jinian a few days ago. Calculating the time, he should be taking the train to the county today, and then transferring to another train to the town.
She figured she had nothing else to do today, so she rode her bicycle to the parking lot in town to wait for him.
She waited all afternoon but didn't see a single person.
Thinking that Wen Jinian didn't want to come here in the first place, could it be that he's not coming at all?
But then I thought again and realized I shouldn't have written to him saying I had an emergency and wanted his help.
Her second brother has always doted on her since she was a child, and he would definitely come to her aid if he heard that she was in trouble.
Thinking of this, Wenrou was startled. What if she encountered something on the way?
