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

Chapter 59 Huo Yanchuan Takes the Initiative to Apologize

Huo Yanchuan was also worried that Wenrou would be angry, so he looked at Chen Hongxia and continued, "Although I have agreed to let you stay in the family compound, it does not mean that this matter will not be pursued. You must compensate for all the losses."

Chen Hongxia originally wanted to use her husband's status as a martyr to argue her point, but when she looked up at Huo Yanchuan and saw the gloom in his eyes, as well as the coldness and seriousness on his face, she knew that if she didn't agree this time, she might really be kicked out.

Although the environment in the Gobi Desert here is harsh, it is infinitely better than their poor and remote mountain hometown.

"I will make it up to you," Chen Hongxia said softly, her head down.

After she finished speaking, she stood up to leave, but Huo Yanchuan called her back.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Hongxia stopped and looked at Huo Yanchuan, wondering what else he wanted to do.

Huo Yanchuan then looked at Wenrou and said to Chen Hongxia, "Apologize to Comrade Wenrou. Whatever amount she says you should pay in compensation, that's all you have to pay."

Chen Hongxia has now come to terms with reality. After being scolded by Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan, she has become much more obedient.

She bowed to Wenrou and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Wenrou. I was out of my mind this time. I know you're a good person and you're very magnanimous, so please don't hold it against me. Just tell me how much money you want, and I'll compensate you."

Seeing this, Wenrou knew that Huo Yanchuan had already said those things, so she couldn't just kick him out anymore.

So he said a number, "Twenty yuan, that'll cover the damages, and that'll be the end of it."

She didn't say too much, lest people say she was bullying the families of martyrs.

Wenrou never expected that Chen Hongxia's matter would involve martyrs. However, since it was Huo Yanchuan who took Chen Hongxia and her family in, this matter should indeed be left to him to handle.

Upon hearing the number Wenrou mentioned, Chen Hongxia's expression changed slightly.

Their family only receives a monthly pension of sixty yuan, and Wenrou is about to lose a third of it.

This was really painful for her.

But if she doesn't give it to them, and Wenrou makes a scene again, their family will eventually be kicked out.

So she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to agree.

After she got home, she quickly retrieved the money and handed it to Wenrou.

Not only that, he apologized to her repeatedly.

"Alright, this is the last time. You can go now." Wenrou said to Chen Hongxia, holding the money.

Seeing that Wenrou was no longer pursuing the matter, Chen Hongxia quickly turned around and ran home, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Wenrou would change her mind.

After this incident, she became much more obedient.

After dealing with this matter, everyone dispersed, and Wenrou, seeing this, also prepared to turn around and go home.

Seeing her dark face, Huo Yanchuan felt a little guilty. He was just thinking about how to explain things to her properly when he heard Zhou Dayong's voice coming over.

"Xiao Rou".

Zhou Dayong witnessed everything that just happened.

This tenderness was something he had never seen before.

He didn't know when it started, but Wenrou's changes seemed to become more and more drastic. He could no longer feel any trace of the girl who used to follow him around in her.

Back when they lived in the countryside, she always liked to hang around him, clinging to him and trying to please him every day.

Sometimes he even felt annoyed, but she would always come to him tirelessly, telling him incessantly about what happened to her that day.

At that time, his feelings for Wenrou hadn't reached the point of being deeply in love; he just felt that he was of age and needed someone to marry.

Furthermore, considering the help Wenrou and her family provided to the Zhou family, he tacitly agreed to the marriage.

But after that incident, although he said he didn't mind and would marry her, he knew that his feelings for her had changed at that time.

He originally thought that he would live a happy life after marrying Shen Qingshuang, but gradually he found that the reality was not as he thought.

He didn't want to treat Wenrou as an enemy, after all, she used to always call him "Brother Dayong".

Even if the two cannot get married, at least they are from the same hometown, grew up together, and know each other well.

Aside from the fact that they can't get married, his relationship with Wenrou must be much closer than Huo Yanchuan's, right?

Upon hearing the sound, Wenrou instinctively turned around and looked back, only to see Zhou Dayong walking towards her.

She made sure she hadn't misheard. When had Zhou Dayong ever called her that?

Even when I used to revolve around him, he still called me by my name.

He even told her personally that he was shy and couldn't bring himself to call her by such an affectionate name.

But now, has he lost his mind?

"Zhou Dayong, are you alright?" Wenrou looked at Zhou Dayong and asked with a frown, her face full of disgust.

Not only Wenrou, but even Huo Yanchuan, who was standing to the side, turned even colder when he heard Zhou Dayong use such an intimate term for Wenrou.

"Xiaorou, I know you're still angry with me for what happened before, and you resent that I didn't marry you. But I also had my own reasons. We were destined to be apart. But even so, we can't sever our friendship. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends. You can still call me Brother Dayong, just like before."

Zhou Dayong's face was full of conflict and shame. He even thought to himself that if it weren't for that spy, he would probably have married Wenrou long ago.

He had said before that he didn't mind her.

If possible, he would like their relationship to go back to how it was before.

Wenrou already felt that Zhou Dayong was acting strangely today, and after hearing what he said, she was so angry that she laughed.

"Zhou Dayong, have you lost your mind? Get the hell out of here and don't bother me again."

What right does he have to claim he has a reason for his actions? He still wants to be friends with her—is she crazy, or is he seriously ill?

She finally managed to cut all ties with that group of vampires from the Zhou family, how could she possibly have any relationship with him again?

Besides, isn't he already married? How can he shamelessly say such a thing?

Wenrou ignored Zhou Dayong and turned to go inside.

"Small……"

Seeing this, Zhou Dayong wanted to call out "Wenrou" again, but Huo Yanchuan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.

"Get out." Huo Yanchuan's voice was filled with warning and undisguised anger.

Zhou Dayong couldn't beat Huo Yanchuan, but seeing Huo Yanchuan get angry, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

This seemed to be the first time he had ever seen Huo Yanchuan lose control of his emotions. Normally, no matter what he did, he was indifferent and like an emotionless machine.

This surprised Zhou Dayong; he didn't expect Huo Yanchuan to care so much about gentleness.

"Huo Yanchuan, you and Wenrou, stop acting. Everyone in the compound knows you two sleep in separate rooms. Although I don't know why you got married in the first place, just give up. There will never be a place for you in Wenrou's heart."

Zhou Dayong got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and looked at Huo Yanchuan with a mocking smile on his face.

"What happens between Wenrou and me is none of your business. I don't care what happened between you two before. She is now my wife. From now on, if you see her, get as far away from me as possible, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Seeing the mockery in Zhou Dayong's eyes, Huo Yanchuan frowned deeply, feeling a surge of irritation, and even a hint of worry and panic that Zhou Dayong had pointed out.

Zhou Dayong knew that Huo Yanchuan was petty and narrow-minded, and that he was just a small platoon leader and couldn't afford to offend him.

Therefore, he cannot completely oppose Huo Yanchuan for the time being, otherwise it would not benefit him.

However, he was very confident in his feelings for Wenrou, and he would feel at ease if this matter made Huo Yanchuan uncomfortable.

Before leaving, Zhou Dayong glanced at Huo Yanchuan, and the mocking smile in his eyes made Huo Yanchuan's anger rise instantly.

After returning home, Huo Yanchuan saw that Wenrou had closed the door to her room. He walked to the door, hesitated, and then raised his hand to knock.

He waited at the door for a while, and then saw Wenrou open the door.

"Is something the matter?" Wenrou asked Huo Yanchuan.

Huo Yanchuan looked somewhat embarrassed, knowing that she was still angry about what had just happened, so he could only explain to her, "Chen Hongxia's matter is indeed a bit complicated. I made the decision without discussing it with you just now. I apologize to you and promise that it will never happen again."

He also knew that Wenrou was a principled person, and that he did have his own selfish motives just now.

After all, it was he who had arranged for Liu Weijun's family to be brought over, and he also assured them that the army would take good care of the mother and son.

Wenrou was indeed angry, but she wasn't one to argue unreasonably. After thinking it over, she understood.

However, she did not expect that Huo Yanchuan, who was usually so arrogant, would take the initiative to apologize to her. While she was a little stunned, Huo Yanchuan spoke again: "Chen Hongxia's husband, Liu Weijun, was my battalion commander. He was the one who led me on the first mission. At that time, we fell into the enemy's trap, and he sacrificed himself to protect his other comrades."

Speaking of this matter, Huo Yanchuan has always felt that he bears some responsibility.

At that time, he had just graduated from military academy and joined the company. He was young and arrogant and didn't respect anyone, including Liu Weijun.

Although he ranked first in every subject at military academy, he still lacked practical experience.

Liu Weijun was the most senior in the army, steady in his work, and had a lot of experience in leading troops. However, he was a bit stubborn and unwilling to accept new things.

During their first mission, the two disagreed and had to split up.

Liu Weijun made a mistake in his judgment that time, but he did his best to mitigate the losses.

However, in the end, he chose to sacrifice himself to protect his other brothers.

When Huo Yanchuan rushed back, he only saw Liu Weijun's body.

That was the first time he had ever witnessed a real sacrifice. Even now, he still wonders if he could have helped if he had gone with Liu Weijun back then.

Liu Weijun dedicated his entire life to the army and the country, which is why he wanted to bring his wife, children, and mother to the army base.

Wenrou also respected martyrs like Liu Weijun. Although Chen Hongxia was wrong, she would not hold it against her for Liu Weijun's sake.

"Don't worry, I'm not angry. As long as she doesn't do anything against her principles, I won't hold it against her in the future."

When Huo Yanchuan heard her words, he knew that she had forgiven his behavior just now, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for understanding my difficulties." He was also grateful for the gentle understanding.

Wenrou, on the other hand, was quite displeased to see him like this.

"Do you really think I'm such an unreasonable person?"

Seeing that she was frowning again, Huo Yanchuan hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I know you're kind, and I know you'll understand why I did this."

Although Wenrou usually appears fierce to outsiders, unable to suffer any loss or injustice.

But he knew that although she seemed tough on the outside, she was soft-hearted than anyone else; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to help Sister Wang and the others.

Furthermore, the matters concerning grain cultivation that she mentioned today have already been considered for everyone in the compound.

"Alright, you should go to bed and rest. I still need to go to the fields."

After this matter was resolved, Wenrou thought about rebuilding the greenhouse in the field as soon as possible.

After she finished speaking, she went into the house, took a headscarf and tied it on her head, picked up a hoe and prepared to go to work in the fields.

"I'll help you." Huo Yanchuan was worried about her going to the field alone, so he followed behind her.

She turned around gently and looked at him, directly rejecting him.

"No need, I can manage on my own. If you dare to step out of this door again, don't ever come back home."

Wenrou was exasperated with this man. He cherished his own body, and even though he was still injured, he kept thinking about running away. He was such a worry.

Before Huo Yanchuan could say anything more, he saw Wenrou had already gone out with a hoe on her shoulder.

In the end, he had no choice but to send someone to find Hao Gang to bring men to help Wenrou.

Huo Yanchuan had nothing to do at home by himself. His injury was actually fine, but when he thought of Wenrou's words, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Perhaps even Wenrou didn't realize that she now considered Huo Yanchuan as family, rather than the person she had married in the first place.

He didn't dare go out, fearing that she would really keep her word and never let him come home again.

Although he can't get out of bed, he can still help with cooking and other things.

When Wenrou finally finished her work and returned, she was shocked to see a table full of dishes.

She walked into the kitchen and saw Huo Yanchuan with his sleeves rolled up and head down, cooking.

"You're back. Come and eat." Huo Yanchuan brought out a large bowl of rice, pulled Wenrou down to sit, and placed it in front of her.

gentle:"……"

Although she admitted that she has a big appetite, is it right to give her such a large bowl of rice directly?

However, she was indeed hungry at the moment, so she didn't care about anything else. She picked up her chopsticks, held the bowl, and started eating.

Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Huo Yanchuan sat down and ate with her.

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but think of what Zhou Dayong had done that morning, so he asked, "What was the meaning of what Zhou Dayong said today? Do you still have feelings for him?"

Although he appeared calm when he asked the question, he couldn't help but feel nervous inside, so nervous that he didn't even realize he was holding his chopsticks upside down.
