Chapter 97 Wang Yanping's family is moving to their hometown.
Hearing Zhou Dayong's words, Wenrou's expression turned even more unpleasant.
She never expected that Zhou Dayong had this as his plan.
He even wants to be the godfather of his own child? Doesn't he even look in the mirror and see if he's worthy?
How much he used to despise her and the child in her belly, and now he's having such thoughts? Wenrou really wonders if there's something wrong with his brain.
"Zhou Dayong, can you please look in the mirror next time you go out and see if you're even worthy of me? Even if my child and I starve to death, I don't need you to support us. Get out of here!"
Wenrou lifted the carrying pole in her hand and struck Zhou Dayong's leg directly, driving him away.
She remembered that in her past life, Zhou Dayong and Shen Qingshuang had lived a happy and sweet life together and had two children.
But now, he actually has such thoughts?
She was also a little confused?
Although Zhou Dayong's fate did not follow the course of his previous life, it shouldn't have deviated this drastically, right?
"Xiao Rou, I'm serious." Even after being kicked out by Wen Rou, Zhou Dayong still didn't forget to continue explaining.
"Get out! Get as far away from me as possible from now on." After gently scolding him, she slammed the door shut.
Zhou Dayong was left outside by Wenrou and had no choice but to leave with an embarrassed look on his face.
However, even if Wenrou says this, he won't give up.
Huo Yanchuan is gone forever, but he believes that given enough time, he and Wenrou will go back to how they were before.
He didn't believe that Wenrou could forget him so quickly. Although she said that, she must still have feelings for him.
Zhou Dayong didn't see this scene after leaving Wenrou's house, but Shen Qingshuang saw it all.
She was outside when I saw Zhou Dayong enter Wenrou's house.
After hearing Zhou Dayong say that he wanted to be the godfather of Wenrou's child, she was so angry that she wanted to rush in and tear Wenrou, that shameless slut, apart.
She never imagined that Wenrou, who was already married to Huo Yanchuan, would still be entangled with Zhou Dayong in private.
As soon as Huo Yanchuan got into trouble, she couldn't help but seduce other men?
If it were before, she would definitely have gone in and broken ties with Zhou Dayong and Wenrou.
But now she knows that if she goes in and makes a scene, Zhou Dayong will definitely side with Wenrou, which will only make Zhou Dayong hate her even more.
She could only endure it, waiting for her chance to make that bitch Wenrou pay the price.
News of Huo Yanchuan's disappearance quickly spread throughout the entire residential compound. Upon hearing this news, Sister Wang rushed over to comfort Wenrou.
"Hey girl, are you alright?"
She knew that Wenrou was always very strong, but this kind of thing would be a devastating blow to anyone. She was worried that Wenrou's excessive worry would affect the baby in her womb.
With the baby just months away from being born, the father's accident is a heartbreaking blow to anyone who hears it.
Gentle shook her head. "It's nothing."
Although she was indeed worried, she also knew Huo Yanchuan's abilities and believed that he could not possibly have gotten into trouble like this.
He also said he would be the father of the child in her belly, how could he go back on his word?
When Sister-in-law Wang heard Wenrou say this, she knew that although she said it, how could she not be heartbroken?
"Sister, the baby is the most important thing right now. Commander Huo is so capable, he'll definitely be fine. You should give birth to the baby first, and don't disturb the fetus," said Sister-in-law Wang kindly.
"I understand, thank you, sister-in-law."
Wenrou was also very grateful to Sister Wang for coming to comfort her at this time. With her talking to her, she felt less worried.
After hearing about this from Hao Gang, Peng Xiaowan came to see Wenrou that evening.
Worried that something might happen to Wenrou, she decided not to go back and stayed with her instead.
She stayed with Wenrou for two days and found that Wenrou was much stronger than she had thought, so she went home with peace of mind.
Wenrou was waiting for news from Huo Yanchuan, but life had to go on.
Because she didn't lend anything to Wang Yanping during the blizzard a while ago, Wenrou still holds a grudge against her.
Upon learning of Huo Yanchuan's accident, Wang Yanping finally felt a sense of relief.
Wenrou hadn't intended to pay them any attention. She had just returned from gathering firewood when she heard Wang Yanping's sarcastic voice.
"Some people shouldn't act so recklessly, or they won't even know when they'll face retribution."
Those around her immediately understood what Wang Yanping meant when she said that she was referring to Wenrou not lending her food last time.
Wang Yanping was, after all, the women's director of the compound, so someone continued from her words: "Isn't that right? What goes around comes around. We're all neighbors in this compound. Sometimes we should leave some room for maneuver in our actions, otherwise, if we run into trouble and no one helps us, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"
Wenrou sneered inwardly upon hearing their words.
The implication behind these people's words is that they are criticizing her for not lending them food last time.
They can't gain anything from this, yet they turn around and accuse her of being unscrupulous? What a joke!
She had clearly warned them before, but they didn't listen, which led to them having to spend a lot of money to buy expensive food during the blizzard.
Wenrou, carrying the axe she had just used to chop firewood, walked over and threw it in front of them.
"Go on, keep talking." Wenrou looked at them, her face terribly gloomy.
When the women saw Wenrou walking over, their hearts skipped a beat, and they all looked at Wang Yanping.
After all, she was the women's director, and if Wenrou wanted to cause trouble, she could still control her.
The men were startled when they saw the axe at their feet.
Wang Yanping was the first to react, and she scolded Wenrou, "Huo Tuan's wife, what are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble? This is a family compound, you can't act recklessly here."
Wenrou originally wanted to save face for Wang Yanping, but since that's the case, there's no need to.
She heard from Hao Gang yesterday that Wang Yanping's husband, Commander Fan, would have retired from the army long ago if it weren't for Huo Yanchuan cleaning up his messes all these years because of his advanced age.
Huo Yanchuan took pity on him because he had three children and kept helping him so that he could stay in the army.
During this military disaster relief operation, Regiment Commander Fan kept making excuses to avoid participating in the mission.
The military had no other choice this time; they had already drafted a letter to discharge him and were just waiting for an opportunity to deliver it to him.
Therefore, it's a done deal that Commander Fan will retire from the army, and Wang Yanping will have to go back to her hometown with him and the children.
Wenrou looked at Wang Yanping with a cold smile and asked, "Who started this, me or you?"
"Huo Yanchuan went missing during a rescue mission, and you see that as retribution? As military families, if it were your husbands or relatives who were in this situation, would you still be able to laugh when people are mocking you for 'retribution'?"
After speaking gently, she took a few steps forward and walked up to Wang Yanping.
Wang Yanping looked at her somewhat guiltily, trying to defend herself, "What do you mean? We weren't discussing you and Commander Huo just now, you..."
Wenrou watched as she defended herself, noticing the increasingly guilty look in her eyes as she explained. She said gently, "Director Wang, you are the women's director of the military family compound. Everyone respects you, yet you are now leading the way in discriminatory treatment, openly stirring up trouble behind people's backs, and gossiping about others. Do you think you deserve it?"
"Wenrou, don't make baseless accusations. When have I ever discriminated against anyone or made fun of others?" Wang Yanping retorted immediately upon hearing Wenrou's words.
She wouldn't admit that there was anything wrong with her behavior just now; she was just saying what everyone else was thinking.
It's because Wenrou went too far before, and what she said wasn't wrong.
When Wenrou heard that she was still stubbornly denying everything and showing no remorse, she could only say, "You were right earlier, what goes around comes around. I hope that when it's your family's turn to be in trouble, you'll still be laughing."
After saying that, Wenrou ignored them and turned to go home.
Wang Yanping looked at the gentle figure and pondered her words carefully. She wondered, how could anything have happened to her family?
Her husband, Lao Fan, is hardworking and can endure hardship; he has also made many contributions to the army.
This time, it was also because of his age that the army was considerate and did not let him participate in the rescue mission. Otherwise, we don't know if he would have encountered danger and not been able to come back.
Not long after Wenrou returned, Hao Gang arrived.
He brought some of Huo Yanchuan's belongings from the military dormitory, hoping to offer Wenrou some comfort.
"Sister-in-law, the commander has only gone missing temporarily. We've been searching for him for several days but haven't found his body, so I think he's probably trapped. With his abilities, he'll definitely be alright."
Hao Gang also told Wenrou about the actual situation at the time. Not only Wenrou, but even he didn't believe that Huo Yanchuan would be in trouble.
He was first in all his subjects at the military academy and first in all his skills in every assessment of the troops. How could Huo, whom they called the cold-faced Yama, have an accident so easily?
"Thank you," she said gently as she took the items.
Hao Gang was relieved to see that she was alright.
Seeing Hao Gang reminded Wenrou of Commander Fan, so she casually asked, "Commander Fan, he..."
"The military has already arranged a job for him back in his hometown, and he's probably already received his discharge notice." Hao Gang sighed deeply after mentioning this.
Commander Fan wasn't a timid person before, but for some reason these past few years, he's needed Commander Huo's help with many things in the army.
This matter could no longer be hidden. Commander Huo knew that he wanted to stay in the army, so he did his best to help him.
But this time, while everyone else was scrambling to participate in the rescue mission, he chose to stay in the back.
Although the military leaders were understanding of his age, as soldiers, their principle is to face difficulties head-on no matter what.
The fact that the military arranged a good job for him is good enough for him; it's a way of giving him some dignity in the end.
Wenrou responded with a soft "yes".
She had met Commander Fan a few times and could tell that he was honest and sincere, and had helped many people in the family compound before.
If it weren't for this reason, no one would have nominated his wife to be the women's director of the family compound.
However, Wang Yanping was timid and fearful, and she often whispered in his ear, which caused him to always act hesitantly.
Wang Yanping wanted to enjoy a comfortable life with Lao Fan and wait for him to reach the required age in the army so that they could transfer to the General Military Region and live in the military compound. At that time, her status would be different.
Unfortunately, her plan backfired. Not only could she not go to Beijing to enjoy a life of luxury, but this time she was really going to take the children back to her rural hometown.
Wenrou had just seen Hao Gang to the door when she heard Wang Yanping's cries coming from inside the house.
"Why is this happening? Why are you being discharged at this time? All your past merits don't count? What is the reason for this?"
Wang Yanping never expected that this morning she was all smiles and gentleness, but now it's her turn to be the one suffering.
She never expected the boomerang to come so quickly, catching her completely off guard.
Seeing his wife crying so sadly, Commander Fan could only sigh and regret, not knowing what to do.
He knew he shouldn't make excuses to avoid this disaster relief mission. Even if he died on the battlefield like Huo Yanchuan, it would still be much better than what he was doing now.
But it was too late to say anything now. He turned to his wife and child and said, "Don't cry. Pack your things. We have to leave here tomorrow."
He had lived here for so many years and never thought he would leave one day.
He, Wang Yanping, and the children had long regarded this place as their home, and they were even thinking that after the new school opened after the New Year, the children would be able to go to the new school.
But now they're being asked to go back to their hometowns? Who can accept that?
Although conditions here are harsh, it's still a million times better than my hometown.
They receive a monthly allowance, and sometimes additional benefits from the military. During the Lunar New Year, they also receive meat and cloth coupons.
Back in his hometown, although the army arranged a job for Lao Fan, the job only paid forty yuan a month. How could he support his whole family?
The old house is drafty and uninhabitable.
When she brought her children to join the army, she even told the villagers that she was going to enjoy a life of luxury with Lao Fan.
Now, if we have to take the children back to our hometown and live in a dilapidated and drafty house, won't we be laughed at by the villagers?
Although Wang Yanping was reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to pack her things with the children.
The children were naturally reluctant to leave. They had their friends here, and they could watch TV at Wenrou's house. If they went back to the village, they would have nothing left.
After they finished packing, the next morning, Lao Fan led his family, carrying large and small bags, to go back home.
Just as Wang Yanping was leaving, Wenrou came in from outside.
She had just received a telegram saying that Huo Yanchuan was temporarily trapped but not in any danger.
This news finally dispelled her worries of the past few days, and she was so happy that she had a smile on her face.
Seeing the gentle smile on Wenrou's face, Wang Yanping's expression changed.
Now she truly regrets it, but even with all her regret, she can't go back to the past.
She wanted to sincerely apologize to Wenrou, but Wenrou acted as if she didn't see her and walked straight in.
