Chapter 73 Zhang Village, bring everything Zhang Lai
Chapter 73 Zhang Village, bring everything Zhang Lai
It was three days later that Wenrou had finished arranging things at home after Li Xiuying and Liu Yan returned.
Huo Yanchuan drove the same military jeep he had driven before, and Wenrou went home with him.
However, before that, she also received news that Zhou Manfu and He Cuihua had been released from the police station.
I don't know what method Zhou Dayong used, but Shen Qingshuang also returned.
So he also took leave to visit his family and, together with Shen Qingshuang, escorted Zhou Manfu's family home.
Last time, Huo Yanchuan investigated and found out the truth about Wenrou being harmed by the Zhou family, exposing the true colors of the Zhou family. Now everyone in the village knows.
He Cuihua was so proud of herself in the village because of the news that her son was a division commander in the army, but now she is as miserable as she is when she comes back.
Zhou Dayong's life wasn't easy after he returned to the village. Before, he was at least a battalion commander, but now he was just a small platoon leader.
Looking at the way the villagers were looking at him, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like everyone was laughing at him.
Especially after Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou returned to visit their families, he felt even more ashamed.
Wenrou had heard about Huo Yanchuan's visit to her home before, but she didn't know he was so impressive.
She had just returned and hadn't even entered the village when people greeted her warmly.
"Xiaorou is back?"
"Oh my, Xiaorou is finally back. It's been so long since I've seen her. She's really become more and more successful."
This was the first time Wenrou had ever seen them greet her so warmly and proactively. In the past, she would have wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
Not only that, some people even told their own children that she was shameless and a slut.
Wenrou sneered inwardly, but her face remained expressionless.
She turned to look at Huo Yanchuan beside her, knowing that he had specially driven her back today because he wanted her to have face in front of the villagers.
Those who used to look down on her are now shamelessly fawning over her.
"Thank you," Wenrou said, understanding Huo Yanchuan's intention.
"With me here, no one will look down on you anymore." Huo Yanchuan looked at her, feeling a pang of heartache whenever he thought about what she had gone through in the village.
Wenrou felt a warmth in her heart when she heard his words.
This man is indeed an excellent husband candidate.
Thinking that she would leave in the future, Wenrou decided that when she left, she would definitely find a way to cure him and make him like a normal man.
She remembered that there was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the next village who specialized in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. She could take Huo Yanchuan there to have a look, and maybe he could really be cured.
However, this matter concerns a man's pride, so we still need to discuss it with him properly.
Seeing that Wenrou had her head down, Huo Yanchuan assumed she was thinking about things at home, so he didn't say anything more.
When the car arrived at the Wen family's door, it was already crowded with people.
When Li Xiuying saw Wenrou return with Huo Yanchuan, she quickly went out to greet them with a smile.
She knew Wenrou wouldn't abandon her. They had raised her all these years, and now it was time for her to repay them.
"Oh, Xiaorou, Xiaohuo, why are you back at this hour? Come in quickly."
After all, Wenrou married such a good man. Now, when people in the village talk about it, who doesn't envy her?
Li Xiuying was a vain person; she wanted to show off her good son-in-law in front of the whole village.
Liu Yan stood to the side, her eyes constantly peering into the car.
Last time Huo Yanchuan came alone, he took so many good things.
Since the two of them are coming back this time, won't they have to bring two portions?
"Xiaorou, you must be tired from your journey. Let me help you with your things."
As she spoke, she walked to the car, wanting to help carry things home.
He looked at her gently and said with a smile, "No need, I didn't bring much with me this time."
She wasn't just being polite; aside from bringing a few clothes, she brought nothing else and came back empty-handed.
"You're joking, how could that be..." Liu Yan looked through the car window and saw that it was empty, there was indeed nothing inside. She couldn't finish her sentence.
What's with this gentleness? She's already married, how can she come back to her parents' home empty-handed?
They really don't understand any manners.
Seeing the shock and disappointment on Liu Yan's face, Wenrou was in a very good mood.
Li Xiuying originally thought that Wenrou would definitely bring gifts when she came back to visit them this time.
But when she saw that Liu Yan had nothing in her hands, her expression changed.
In rural areas, it is customary for a woman to bring gifts back to her parents' home whenever she returns after marriage.
Seeing that Wenrou had returned empty-handed without bringing anything, Li Xiuying was very dissatisfied.
Wenrou ignored them and led Huo Yanchuan inside.
Last time, Huo Yanchuan said he brought back a lot of things to see. She was sure that those things were either taken to Li Xiuying's parents' home or given to Liu Yan's parents by her.
In short, no matter what, her dad would never get any of the good things in the house.
Since that's the case, she might as well not bring anything at all, so they won't have to worry about her.
Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang went up the mountain early this morning and haven't returned yet, but someone has already gone to inform them.
The two had just come down the mountain when they learned that Wenrou had returned, and they hurried home.
"Xiao Rou." Wen Jianshe called out Wen Rou's name as soon as he arrived at the door.
When Wenrou saw that Wen Jianshe had finally returned, she excitedly came out of her room.
"dad."
When Wen Jianshe saw that Wenrou had indeed returned, his eyes welled up with tears.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Seeing that his daughter was alright, Wen Jianshe was relieved.
Wenrou looked at Wen Jianshe and saw that he was still the same as before, except that his face looked a little haggard, and she felt very bad.
He's always been like this since he was a child. Even though he loves her very much, he doesn't express it much. He just keeps his fatherly love hidden in his heart.
But whenever she encounters trouble, he is always the first to step forward and protect her.
He was carrying a wild pheasant that he had just hunted from the mountain, intending to make chicken soup for Wenrou later.
"Please sit down first, I...I'll go make some chicken soup for you to drink tonight."
As Wen Jianshe spoke, he went into the kitchen.
Wen Jiguang returned at this time, and when he saw Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan, he happily came over to greet them.
"Little sister, your room is still reserved for you. You two can sleep here tonight. Since you're back, stay a few more days before you leave."
Wen Jiguang carried firewood on his back. After greeting the two men, he quickly put the firewood at the kitchen door.
Wenrou had just gone into her old room, and apart from a bunch of clutter, nothing else had changed.
Huo Yanchuan helped her clear out all the clutter from the room and tidied it up.
Wenrou wanted to help in the kitchen, but Wen Jianshe kicked her out.
"The food will be ready in a moment, you don't need to do anything, just go and sit down," Wen Jianshe's voice came from the kitchen.
Seeing this, Wenrou had no choice but to sit back down in the chair.
Meanwhile, Li Xiuying was outside praising Huo Yanchuan to others, eager to tell the whole village how wonderful her son-in-law was.
Liu Yan had disappeared, and Wenrou guessed that she must have gone back to her parents' home.
Liu Yan is indeed at the Liu family home right now. Half of the good things Huo Yanchuan took last time were taken back to her parents' home by her, and the other half were taken by Li Xiuying to her parents and brothers.
Those things were all top-quality tobacco, alcohol, and tea that Huo Yanchuan bought from Beijing. Liu's father would show them off to everyone he met, and he still couldn't bear to open them, keeping them in his room, intending to take them out after his son got married.
Thinking about how Liu Yan treated her elder brother in her previous life, Wenrou felt increasingly unable to swallow her anger. So she got up and walked towards the door, preparing to go to the Liu family to get all her things back.
"Little sister, where are you going?" Wen Jiguang was chopping wood when he saw Wenrou storming out, so he hurriedly asked.
Hearing the sound, Huo Yanchuan followed.
Seeing that Wenrou didn't look well, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"All those good things you took last time, Liu Yan must have taken them all back. My dad and my older brother are honest people, even if they know, they won't say anything, they can only put up with it."
She spoke gently, looking at Huo Yanchuan, "But this time it's different. I'm back, and I won't let them be bullied."
Huo Yanchuan now understands the situation of Wenrou's family and knows that she doesn't want Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang to suffer.
"If these things are taken, they're gone. Next time I'll bring them something better, and you won't be so upset. Be careful with the baby in your belly."
For Huo Yanchuan, none of these things were as important as Wenrou's pregnancy. If it was gone, it was gone. He was worried that Wenrou would get sick from the stress of this.
"That won't do, it's not about money at all."
Liu Yan's house was at the entrance of the village. When Wenrou arrived at the door, she simply pushed it open and went inside.
Just then, Liu Yan and her parents' voices came from inside the house.
"You said that Wenrou didn't bring anything when she went back to her parents' home this time? What about the man she has in the army? Didn't you say that his family is from Beijing? They must be very rich. They wouldn't be so stingy with anything. It's probably not true. Or maybe he just doesn't even like Wenrou."
"I think so too. How could such a good man fall for that slut Wenrou? She went back to her parents' home empty-handed. She has no manners at all."
"What a pity, all the good stuff is gone this time."
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Li Xiufang definitely won't let this go this time. I'll bring you more good stuff next time Wenrou and the others bring it."
"My daughter is the best; she knows how to care for her parents."
Wenrou's expression darkened further as she listened to these words.
She lifted her foot and kicked the door open.
"Whether I have manners or not is none of your business, Liu family! You shameless family members, always coveting other people's things!"
The Liu family members were talking about Wenrou inside the house when they were suddenly startled by the sound of the door being kicked open.
They were stunned when they saw Wenrou standing at the door.
"Wenrou, what are you doing here? This is my home, what right do you have to come in?" Liu Yan reacted first, and when she saw that Wenrou dared to kick the door open, her expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Liu's parents also came forward, trying to stop Wenrou.
But with Huo Yanchuan there, seeing his terrifying, devil-like expression, no one dared to approach him.
Wenrou ignored them and started searching everywhere inside the house.
She quickly found the things Huo Yanchuan had brought last time: a pack of cigarettes, a box of tea, and a bottle of wine, all of which were big brands only available in Beijing.
She roughly estimated that these items were worth about thirty yuan.
When Liu's mother saw that Wenrou had brought out all the good things, she immediately became anxious.
"Gentleness, that's my property. What right do you have to take it?"
When Liu's father saw the tea and wine that he had dreamed of drinking being taken out by Wenrou, he was anxious and wanted to snatch them away.
"Those are all my things, you little bitch, put them all down."
Looking gently at the faces of Liu Yan's family, she sneered, "Your things? I seem to remember that these were gifts my husband gave to my father. Everyone in the village saw it that day. Your family is truly shameless."
Hearing Liu's father calling him a "bitch" repeatedly, Huo Yanchuan's face turned cold. He kicked Liu's father in the knee and warned him, "Watch your mouth."
Liu's father was no match for Huo Yanchuan, and Liu's mother was not as strong as Wenrou. Before she could even get close to her, she was pushed away and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yan quickly went over and helped her mother up.
Seeing that they couldn't outmaneuver Wenrou, Liu's mother had no choice but to shout anxiously, "Help! There are robbers trying to steal things in broad daylight!"
Her shout brought all the neighbors over.
Seeing this, they all understood what was going on.
Before Wenrou returned, the Liu family boasted about their good possessions everywhere, claiming they were given to them by their in-laws.
But everyone in the village knew what kind of people they were, so it was obvious that Liu Yan had secretly taken it back.
Now that the gentle one has returned, they definitely won't be able to keep this good thing.
At this moment, everyone at the door was watching the show, and no one was willing to help Liu Yan's family.
At this moment, Wen Jiguang also rushed over after hearing the news.
He was stunned when he saw what Wenrou was holding. He hadn't expected that Wenrou had rushed out so quickly just now because of this.
"Xiaorou, are you alright?" He walked over and asked with concern.
Knowing the character of Liu Yan's family, he worried that Wenrou would be bullied by them.
Wenrou shook her head and handed everything to Wen Jiguang. "This was given to our family by Huo Yanchuan. I brought it back. If a thief breaks into the house in the future, just report it to the police. I don't believe the police won't handle this."
When Wenrou said that Liu Yan's family were all thieves, Wen Jiguang realized that she was helping him.
Previously, when things went missing from the house, he knew in his heart that Liu Yan must have taken them to her parents' home.
I just don't want to argue with her.
I didn't want this matter to cause unrest for the whole family, so I just endured it.
In addition, his mother used to take all the good things in the house to his maternal grandmother's house, so he was used to it.
But this time, he realized that he couldn't keep putting up with it any longer.
