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

Since the transportation team in Beijing was officially established, Wenrou has been very busy.

The new transport team needed to hire people, so she conducted the interviews herself.

These past few days she's been going home very late every day, and by the time she gets back, Huo Yanchuan and the children are already asleep.

Wenrou had no choice but to walk to the children's bedside, bend down and gently kiss them before tiptoeing out and closing the door.

After washing up, she pushed open the bedroom door, walked to the bedside, and lay down next to Huo Yanchuan.

Hearing the noise, Huo Yanchuan opened his eyes.

He glanced at his watch; it was already past eleven at night. Looking at Wenrou's haggard appearance, he felt a pang of heartache.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go heat up some food for you." Huo Yanchuan said, getting up and walking into the kitchen.

Wenrou was about to say no, but the man had already left.

She waited in the room for a while, and then saw Huo Yanchuan bring in the food.

When Wenrou saw that the plate was full of her favorite dishes, her heart warmed, and she kissed him on the cheek.

"Huo Yanchuan, you're so kind."

Huo Yanchuan looked at her helplessly, "You're my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well? Eat up."

Wenrou looked at the abundant dishes in front of her and said, "You've made so much, it's too much trouble."

"I'll make it for you, it's no trouble at all."

Huo Yanchuan knew that if he didn't do it, Wenrou would most likely either not eat it at all, or just eat a bite.

If this continues for a long time, the little bit of weight she managed to gain over the past two years will all be lost again.

Even so, she has visibly lost some weight in the past few days.

Huo Yanchuan felt sorry for her seeing her like this, but all he could do was support her; there was nothing else he could do to help.

"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll spend some quality time with you and the children at home," Wenrou said gently, sitting in Huo Yanchuan's lap and hugging his neck after dinner.

Huo Yanchuan lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss him, and at the end, he even bit him hard.

She hissed softly in pain, looked up at him, and asked gently, "Why did you bite me?"

Although his bite hurt, it only left a ring of teeth marks on his neck and didn't draw blood, but it still made him wince in pain.

"Count how many times you've said that, and how many times have you actually done it?" Huo Yanchuan said, his tone tinged with a hint of complaint.

Wenrou listened to his complaining words with a mix of heartache and guilt.

"I mean what I say this time," Wenrou vowed, raising her hand gently.

Huo Yanchuan reached out and put her hand down. "Alright, stop making promises. Go to sleep early."

She responded gently, lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and fell asleep in no time.

After Huo Yanchuan finished tidying up, he came in and saw that Wenrou was already fast asleep. He couldn't bear to disturb her, so he went over, hugged her, and fell asleep as well.

Wenrou originally said she would take a good rest after finishing the recruitment work, but there were always other tasks that she needed to keep an eye on.

And so, she has been working non-stop since after the New Year.

Since Wen Jinian went abroad, there has been no news of him for more than a month.

Just as Tan Lin was worried that something had happened to him in the Soviet Union and wanted to go find him, his phone finally rang.

Tan Lin was relieved to learn that Wen Jinian hadn't said anything.

Since Wen Jinian couldn't go back home, Wen Jianshe and Li Xiuying had to go back to help him prepare for the wedding.

Since they went back, people from the village have been coming over every day.

They heard that Wenrou's transport fleet was making a lot of money, and they all wanted to put their own people on board.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't get involved in Xiaorou's affairs. I'll ask her when she gets back." Although Li Xiuying smiled kindly on the surface, she was very disdainful in her heart.

When they need help in their family's time of need, these people are the first to arrive.

Now, as soon as they hear that they've made money, they all shamelessly try to curry favor with them. They're really shameless.

Those people all understood the perfunctory meaning in Li Xiuying's words, but none of them were willing to give up.

They had all heard that Wenrou had opened a new transport team in Beijing, and that they were currently short of manpower.

That's Beijing! Even if you can't get a formal job in the transportation team, you can still broaden your horizons by cleaning.

Hearing that these people even took on cleaning duties, Li Xiuying couldn't help but feel proud.

"No problem, if Xiaorou's transport team has any available space, I will definitely contact you."

As she said this, Li Xiuying couldn't help but sound arrogant, as if the transport team belonged to her family.

Seeing this, Wen Jianshe couldn't help but speak up, "That transport team belongs to our daughter, and we can't interfere. What if Xiaorou disagrees with what you promised?"

Li Xiuying said nonchalantly, "It's just a cleaning job, what's there to disagree with?"

In her opinion, Wenrou is so busy all day long. Besides, with such a large transport team, a cleaning job isn't that important. It doesn't matter who does it.

Looking at the gifts at home, she couldn't bear to send them back.

Wen Jianshe couldn't do anything about her either, so he could only wait for Wenrou to come back.

Not only villagers, but even Li Xiuying's family came to her door.

The visitors were Grandma Li and Wenrou's uncle, Li Jianguo. After learning that Wenrou was making money by running a transport team, they sent her many letters, all of which wanted her cousin to join the transport team as well.

Wenrou didn't open or read a single one of those letters; she threw them all into the trash.

Seeing that Wenrou wasn't replying, they wrote a lot to Li Xiuying as well.

Li Xiuying mentioned it to Wenrou, but Wenrou didn't agree, so she didn't bring it up again.

Upon learning that Li Xiuying and Wen Jianshe had returned home, Old Lady Li brought her son to find them.

Although the two families had a very unpleasant falling out because of Wenrou, they are still family after all. Even if the bones are broken, they are still connected by tendons. How can they be severed so easily?

"Xiuying, Jianshe!" Old Mrs. Li called out loudly as soon as she reached the door.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Xiuying's expression changed, and Wen Jianshe couldn't help but frown as well.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Old Lady Li leaning on her cane, with Li Jianguo standing beside her. He said, "Big sister, brother-in-law, you're finally back."

As he spoke, he handed over what he was holding.

"This is a small token of our appreciation from Mom and me. Please accept it."

Li Jianguo took some sponge cakes, two cans of food, and brown sugar.

These things would have been extremely rare in the past, but having seen better things, Li Xiuying found them rather shabby.

"Mom, Jianguo, what are you doing here?" Li Xiuying didn't answer, but asked instead.

After she finished speaking, Old Lady Li leaned on her cane and walked inside on her own.

"What kind of question is that? You're my daughter, the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Of course I came here to see you, what else could I do?"

As she spoke, Grandma Li walked to the chair and sat down.

Li Xiuying knew that her family wasn't so kind. She used to always visit them herself, and neither her mother nor her younger brother had ever come to see her even once.

Their arrival now is definitely not for anything good.

Looking at what they brought, Li Xiuying could roughly guess what they were getting.

Seeing that Li Xiuying wouldn't take it, Li Jianguo put the things on the table.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, I heard you came back this time to hold Jinian's wedding. If there's anything you can do to help, please let us know."

Li Jianguo sat next to Old Lady Li with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Old Lady Li spoke up, "I heard that Ji Nian's wife is also from Beijing, and Xiao Rou is also from Beijing. So you two can go to Beijing and enjoy a good life with them in the future."

"Yes, eldest sister, Ji Nian and Xiao Rou are both successful now. You've finally made it through the tough times. You'll have endless blessings to enjoy in the future," Li Jianguo said, his face full of envy.

Then look at his two children. One is divorced and now lives at his parents' house all day. The other doesn't even have a decent job. He finally found a wife, but now it's all over.

He came here today because of the two children. If Wenrou could get his son into the transportation team and find a good husband for his daughter in Beijing, their whole family might be able to move to Beijing in the future.

I've heard people say that Beijing is a big city, the capital.

If they can go too, then they'll become city dwellers in the big city.

This time, he spent a lot of money buying these things.

However, as long as he thinks about the good days to come, he feels the money was well spent.

"What's there to enjoy? It's already good enough that they're not angry with me." Li Xiuying was overjoyed by Li Jianguo's praise, but she didn't show it in her words.

Since returning home, Li Xiuying has never stopped smiling when she hears these words of praise about her children, who are all successful and very successful.

She now enjoys hearing people praise her, and seeing the envious and flattering looks on their faces makes her feel proud.

In the past, their family was so poor in the village that they couldn't even hold their heads up high. Their two sons couldn't even find wives.

Life has finally gotten a bit better, and those who used to look down on them are now all trying to curry favor with them.

Li Xiuying had finally gotten her chance to shine, and now that someone was praising her, she was naturally happy.

Wen Jianshe chimed in, "The children's success is the result of their own hard work. We adults can't really help them. As long as they're doing well, we're at ease."

The implication of his words was that adults can't make decisions about children's affairs, so no matter why they came today, he couldn't help them.

Old Mrs. Li, being such a shrewd person, naturally understood what was going on. So, without beating around the bush, she directly stated the purpose of their visit in front of Li Xiuying and Wen Jianshe.

"Jianshe, Xiuying, we're all family. I brought Jianguo here today because I need your help. Since that's the case, I'll be frank. Could you let your nephew join Xiaorou's transport team? I won't ask for too much in salary, a hundred yuan will do."

She had already inquired before she came that Wen Jiguang's salary was already over two hundred, and her grandson's salary of one hundred yuan was not high.

"Mom, Li Fulai doesn't know anything. Even if he goes in, he'll start as an apprentice. How could he possibly earn such a high salary?" Li Xiuying hurriedly said upon hearing what the old lady Li said.

Besides, her nephew is so bad that even dogs wouldn't want to walk down the street. He doesn't study well and hangs out with those village hooligans all day. Even if you give him the best job, he'll probably ruin it in less than three days.

"I've already inquired. The wages for the transport team over there are all at this rate. Why can't you pay your nephew that rate? Besides, Jiguang wasn't completely clueless when he first arrived. Now he's learned everything, hasn't he? If he doesn't know how, let him learn from those experienced drivers. One day he'll learn to drive."

When Grandma Li heard Li Xiuying's words, her face darkened. Her precious grandson was so smart, how could he not learn it?

I heard that even a gentle woman like Wenrou can drive a truck. Fulai is a man, so no matter what he learns, he will definitely be faster than a woman.

Although Wenrou now runs a transport team and is making money, in the eyes of old lady Li, who is patriarchal, she is still a worthless money-losing item.

She couldn't believe her precious grandson was inferior to Wenrou; in her eyes, a salary of one hundred yuan was too little.

When her grandson finishes his training and learns to drive a truck, she'll have Wenrou raise his salary to the same level as Wen Jiguang's.

Grandma Li's idea was good, but as soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuying and Wen Jianshe's expressions changed immediately.

"Mom, Xiaorou should make the decision about this. There's no point in us discussing it here. After all, the transport team belongs to her, and even as her parents, we shouldn't interfere in her affairs."

Wen Jianshe's words were a gesture of respect, but Old Lady Li and the others didn't appreciate it.

"What do you mean it's not easy to get involved? Big sister, brother-in-law, no matter what, you are Xiaorou's parents. Your words will definitely carry weight. As long as you agree to let Fulai join the transport team, this matter can be settled."

Li Jianguo was getting anxious. If they didn't handle things well this time, how would they explain it to their son?

"Xiuying, Fulai is your own nephew. You have to help him whether you want to or not. Otherwise, you can forget about me being your mother." Old Mrs. Li heard that Wen Jianshe didn't want to help, so she put pressure on Li Xiuying with a cold face.

"Mom, we don't have the final say in this matter. You know that Xiaorou is a girl with her own ideas. If I interfere in her affairs, she might kick me out as well."

Li Xiuying looked troubled when she heard what Old Lady Li said.

Of course, she knew Wenrou's temper well. If she dared to agree to it without Wenrou's knowledge, Wenrou would probably refuse to acknowledge her as her mother when she came back.

Their family's life had finally improved a bit, and she didn't want anything to happen again.

In the past, Li Xiuying might have been swayed by Old Lady Li's words and secretly agreed without Wenrou's knowledge.

But now, she's not so confused.

Now her whole family depends on the gentle transport team to make a living, so of course she has to help her daughter.
