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

Seeing Jiang Yan and the others eating so heartily, Fang Xinyou could only watch from the doorway, drool dripping from the corners of her mouth.

The aroma of the meat made her stop in her tracks, unable to move an inch.

She smacked her lips, turned to look at Fang Ting, and asked softly, "Auntie, when will I be able to eat big bones?"

She was so hungry. Ever since she left the Tan family with her mother, she hadn't smelled the aroma of meat, let alone eaten it.

Back when I lived in the Tan family, we would eat meat every few days.

Commander Tan also doted on Fang Xinyou back then. He would do everything he could to buy her whatever she liked to eat.

But now, she has become an orphan without parents.

All the pampering she used to receive is gone now.

She still can't accept this huge disparity, so much so that seeing Yun Shu and Yun Yao not only being protected by Jiang Yan but also happily gnawing on big bones makes her extremely jealous.

Fang Ting felt jealous when she saw Wenrou's family eating meat, but she couldn't help it because she wasn't as good at making money as Wenrou, and her husband wasn't very capable either, so he couldn't provide her with a better life.

She originally thought that by moving into the military compound, she could live a better life thanks to her connection with Fang Yuru.

But to their surprise, they didn't even get to enjoy those good days for a single day before being brought back to reality.

She can't rely on anyone else now; she can only rely on herself.

In order to conceive her own child, she scrimped and saved every day, and even eating meat became a luxury.

She heard from people in the countryside that if a child can't conceive, you can adopt one, and maybe then you'll be able to get pregnant.

This is also why she agreed to help Fang Yuru raise her daughter; she now only hopes that her own child can arrive soon.

"Don't even think about it. We're lucky if we can even get enough to eat right now. You want big bones? Do I look like a big bone to you?"

The more Fang Ting looked at Fang Xinyou, the more annoyed she became. This girl had been spoiled in the past and now she couldn't help with anything at home, couldn't even do housework, and still needed her to support her.

As Fang Ting spoke, she reached out and grabbed Fang Xinyou's arm tightly, pulling her back.

"It hurts." Fang Xinyou's arm was pulled so hard it hurt like needles. Not only was it pinched, but her elbow was also almost dislocated, so tears immediately streamed down her face.

Seeing her with tears streaming down her face, Fang Ting felt even more annoyed.

"Cry, cry, all you do is cry. I didn't raise you for nothing. From now on, all the housework will be yours. I'm busy with work, so you'll be in charge of cooking. If you don't do it well, I'll send you away."

Fang Ting's voice was filled with anger and resentment.

Her voice wasn't quiet; Wenrou heard it even in the kitchen.

After they got home, people soon heard sounds of beatings and scolding coming from inside, along with Fang Xinyou's shrill cries and pleas for mercy.

"Sigh, Xinyou is really pitiful. She was living a good life and was the apple of Commander Tan's eye. Now she's an orphan without parents."

"She deserves it. Who told her mother to have impure thoughts, to cheat on Commander Tan, and to hide it from you for so many years?"

"Yes, she and her daughter have no one to blame but themselves for ending up in this situation. Let's just leave it alone."

"No matter what, Fang Ting is Xin You's aunt. Whatever she does to you is her family matter, and we outsiders shouldn't interfere."

Hearing the discussion coming from the doorway, Wenrou just listened to it as idle gossip and didn't take it to heart.

Fang Ting's family affairs really had nothing to do with her, so of course she wouldn't interfere.

Wenrou was worried that there wouldn't be enough food for the children, so she made pancakes and meat sandwiches.

As soon as Huo Yanchuan entered the house, he smelled the aroma of meat. Seeing how much the children were eating, he also felt hungry.

"Honey, what did you make? It smells so good!" He washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

When Wenrou saw him return, she handed him a roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) with minced meat sauce.

"I made my own roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), want to try it and see if you like it?"

Huo Yanchuan didn't take it, but instead took a bite of the sandwich in her hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"It's fragrant but not greasy, very delicious." He couldn't help but praise it, and then took another bite.

The stir-fried minced meat with chili powder is tender and not greasy. Combined with the aroma of chili, it's both fragrant and spicy. Served in a freshly baked, crispy pancake, it's simply delicious.

Huo Yanchuan finished the steamed bun in just two or three bites, which immediately awakened her taste buds.

He ate a few more meat buns and slurped down a large bowl of minced meat noodles.

Seeing how much he was enjoying his food, Wenrou also picked up a steamed bun for herself.

Don't be fooled by Jiang Yan's usual cold and arrogant demeanor, which makes him seem uninterested in anything.

He couldn't stop eating now, and his mouth was all greasy.

Needless to say, the two daughters ate themselves until they looked like little kittens, their bellies bulging out.

If Jiang Yan hadn't stopped them from eating any more, they probably would have had indigestion that night.

After the family had finished eating and drinking, Wenrou was about to go to the kitchen to clean up when Huo Yanchuan and Jiang Yan stopped her.

"You've been working hard all afternoon, take a rest, I'll take care of the tidying up." Huo Yanchuan also felt sorry for his wife.

Jiang Yan, standing to the side, nodded as well. "I can help too, Aunt Xiaorou. You should go and rest."

Seeing that they said that, Wenrou had no choice but to hand over the kitchen to them.

She was indeed sleepy at the moment, and after taking a shower in the evening, she lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the residential compound is bustling with activity every day.

Jiang Yan is on vacation now and has time to play with his two younger sisters.

It snowed heavily last night, and when I woke up this morning, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

The children love snow, and they clamor to go outside to play as soon as they get up in the morning.

Wenrou was worried that they would get cold, so she dressed them in the imported down jackets that Peng Shao had given them.

All three children have them, but Jiang Yan has been keeping them and can't bear to wear them.

This down jacket is lighter and warmer than ordinary cotton-padded clothes, and it's also brightly colored, making it look especially good when worn.

Yun Shu and Yun Yao were both wearing pink, while Jiang Yan was wearing black.

Not only did they get new clothes, but Wenrou also bought them fluffy cat-ear hats. Wearing the hats made them feel warm, and their ears stopped getting cold immediately.

They were wearing new leather boots that Wenrou had bought for them, which made them look even more eye-catching.

The two girls were surrounded by onlookers as soon as they came downstairs in their new clothes. The other children looked at them with envy.

"They're so pretty, Yun Shu and Yun Yao! Where did you buy these clothes? I want my mom to buy me some tomorrow too," a little girl asked as she walked over.

They didn't actually know where the clothes were bought, but Wenrou had told them that Uncle Peng Shao had brought them back from the Su Kingdom.

Neither of them knew how to lie, so Yun Shu politely told the truth.

"My uncle brought it back from the Soviet Union."

The other children didn't know where Su Guo was, and they kept asking.

At this moment, Fang Xinyou, who had been standing aside watching this side, spoke up: "Su Country is a foreign country, it's very far away, and ordinary people can't go there."

Hearing Fang Xinyou's words, the girls around her became even more envious.

"I wish I had an uncle as amazing as that."

"Your uncle is so good to you."

Upon hearing their words, the two nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I have three uncles, and they are all very good to us." Yun Yao's face was full of joy when she talked about her uncles.

When children get along, they often bring out their favorite things from home to show off or share.

Yun Shu and Yun Yao were no exception; seeing the envious looks on others' faces, they were naturally very proud.

At this moment, they did not notice that Fang Xinyou had secretly come up behind them, holding a small knife in her hand.

She couldn't stand seeing others wearing such nice clothes while she had nothing.

She can't stand seeing others have what she doesn't have.

So she walked up behind Yun Shu, glaring at them with a fierce look, and secretly slashed Yun Shu's back with a knife.

Yun Shu and Yun Yao were squatting on the ground building a snowman, completely unaware of what was happening behind them, and utterly unprepared.

The two were still enjoying building a snowman and were completely unaware of the danger.

After Fang Xinyou succeeded, she was about to cut Yun Yao's clothes when she saw Jiang Yan walking towards her.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan, her expression changed, and she had no choice but to put away her knife.

Although Jiang Yan didn't really enjoy playing games, he was worried about his two younger sisters downstairs, so he decided to come down and check on them.

Just then, a girl's voice rang out.

"Ah... Yunshu, your clothes have a tear."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone else also looked towards Yun Shu's clothes.

The once beautiful dress now had a long slit down its back, and the down comforter inside was blowing out in the wind.

"My new clothes..." Yun Shu realized that her clothes were torn, and her eyes immediately reddened. She pouted and tried to hold back, but in the end, she couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao immediately looked behind Yun Shu.

She was stunned when she saw that her sister's clothes had been ripped.

"Sister, why are your clothes so torn?" Yun Yao was still young and assumed that Yun Shu had accidentally torn them herself, without even considering the possibility that it was something else.

Hearing Yun Yao say this, Yun Shu cried even more bitterly.

Ever since Peng Shao gave her this dress, she has kept it in her closet and couldn't bear to take it out to wear.

I originally planned to wear them on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but seeing the snow outside today, I couldn't resist. After discussing it with my sister, I asked Wenrou to put them on.

This is her favorite dress, with very pretty lace trim on the cuffs.

Having one's beloved clothes torn is like the sky falling down for any child, so it's no wonder Yun Shu cried so hard.

She is usually very sensible and never worries her family; she is also very emotionally stable.

Sometimes when Yunyao gets into trouble, she's afraid her parents will punish her younger sister, so she'll say it was her fault.

But today, her emotions suddenly collapsed, and she cried uncontrollably.

Yun Yao was also startled by Yun Shu's loud crying, so she hurriedly went forward to comfort her: "Sister, don't cry. Come on, let's go home and let Mom think of a solution. At worst, we can ask Uncle Peng Shao to buy you another one next time, or you can wear my clothes too."

Yun Shu nodded, wiped her eyes, and prepared to go home with Yun Yao.

They had just turned around when they saw Jiang Yan.

Seeing Yun Shu cry, Jiang Yan's expression changed.

"Brother Jiang Yan, my sister's clothes are torn, please comfort her." Yun Yao was also frightened; she had never seen her sister cry so sadly before.

Jiang Yan walked over and frowned deeply when he saw that Yun Shu's clothes were indeed torn.

They were both young, so it wasn't obvious, but Jiang Yan noticed it immediately.

Yun Shu's clothes were clearly torn intentionally with a knife; she didn't tear them herself.

His gaze swept over the people around him, finally settling on Fang Xinyou not far away, his eyes turning cold.

When he walked over just now, he clearly saw Fang Xinyou walk out from behind Yun Shu.

Without a doubt, it was her who did it.

Fang Xinyou was startled when she saw Jiang Yan's gaze. She knew she couldn't hide this from him, so she nervously prepared to turn and leave.

"Fang Xinyou." Just then, Jiang Yan's cold voice came over.

Fang Xinyou didn't dare turn around at all. Just as she was about to leave in a hurry, Jiang Yan strode over and grabbed her arm.

"Jiang Yan, what are you doing? Let me go!" Fang Xinyou's voice became much louder with anxiety, fearing that the knife in her pocket would be discovered.

Jiang Yan stared intently at her, his tone chillingly cold.

He reached out and placed his hand in front of Fang Xinyou, commanding, "Take it out."

Fang Xinyou pretended not to know anything and asked with a puzzled look, "Take what?"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid at this point, Jiang Yan directly reached into her pocket.

"Jiang Yan, what are you doing?"

Fang Xinyou reached out to block, but unfortunately she wasn't as strong as Jiang Yan and couldn't dodge it at all.

The others also looked over at Fang Xinyou and saw Jiang Yan take a small knife out of her pocket.

"This is mine, what are you doing with my things? Give it back." Fang Xinyou was worried that Jiang Yan would find out, so she hurriedly reached out to snatch it back.

How could Jiang Yan possibly give her a chance? In front of everyone, he questioned her directly, "You're the one who tore my sister's clothes, aren't you?"

"I don't."

Fang Xinyou tried to argue, but at that moment Jiang Yan had already pulled a small piece of down from the handle of the knife.

"If you didn't have any, how would there be duck down in here?"

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, everyone else looked at Fang Xinyou.

Among them, only the sisters Huo Yunshu and Huo Yunyao were wearing down jackets. If Fang Xinyou didn't make them, how could there be down inside the knife handle?

At this point, the more they looked, the more they felt that the tear on the back of Huo Yunshu's clothes had been deliberately cut.
