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

When Wenrou last came back, both children were only a few months old; now they're already in kindergarten.

"Mom, is this where you lived when you were little?"

"Mom, there are so many mountains here, the scenery is so beautiful."

Along the way, the two children held her hands, looking here and there, finding everything there fascinating.

After they were old enough to remember things, they lived in Beijing and never went anywhere else.

So both of them were very happy to return to their hometown this time.

She smiled gently and nodded. "Yes, when I was little, I lived here. Every day, my grandfather and uncles would go up the mountain to chop firewood, hunt, and dig for wild vegetables and bamboo shoots."

Seeing how curious the children were, Wenrou began to tell them about her past.

However, she only talked about happy things; she didn't tell them about the unpleasant things, and they didn't need to know.

The two children's eyes lit up immediately when they heard that they could go to the mountains to play.

"Mom, can we go play in the mountains too?"

"Yes, Mom, we also want to go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables."

The two of them reached out and tugged at Wenrou's clothes, both clamoring to go to the mountains to play.

"Okay, when we get home, I'll have your uncle take you up the mountain to play." Wenrou reached out and ruffled her two daughters' hair, smiling as she spoke.

She and her two daughters had just arrived at their doorstep when Wen Jianshe and Wen Jiguang came out to greet them.

"Grandpa, Uncle."

Upon seeing them, Yun Shu and Yun Yao excitedly ran over and hugged them.

"Hey, come inside quickly." Wen Jianshe looked at his two granddaughters with eyes full of affection.

He and Wen Jiguang each carried one, and walked in with Wenrou.

"Xiao Rou is back." Hearing the voice, Liu Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen.

She greeted him with a gentle smile, "Sister-in-law."

Wen Jinian and Tan Lin went out to buy things, and Liu Xiaoyu is busy in the kitchen by herself.

Not seeing Li Xiuying, she asked gently with a puzzled look, "Where's Mom?"

"Mom went back to her parents' home. I heard that the old lady was sick and hospitalized, so she went back to see her," Liu Xiaoyu explained to Wenrou.

Wenrou responded and then went into the room.

Although they had some unpleasantness with the Li family before, she knew that it was impossible to make Li Xiuying sever ties with the Li family.

Even if Li Xiuying wanted to go to the Li family, she couldn't interfere.

After all, the old lady is her own mother, so she would definitely go to see her if she got sick.

After tidying up the room, Wenrou went into the kitchen to help Liu Xiaoyu.

The two children are playing with Wen Jianshe and the others, so Wenrou doesn't need to worry.

Seeing how much Liu Xiaoyu has changed, Wenrou couldn't help but praise her, "Sister-in-law, you're getting better and better at dressing up, and you look younger and younger."

"No way? Xiaorou, stop teasing me." Liu Xiaoyu touched her face shyly after being praised by Wenrou.

She just dressed up casually; she could now afford to buy new clothes that she used to be reluctant to wear.

With the skincare products that Wenrou sent her applied to her face, her skin did indeed look much better than before.

"I'm telling the truth, you're getting more and more beautiful," she said with a gentle smile.

Seeing the changes in Liu Xiaoyu, Wenrou was genuinely happy for her.

The older brother wasn't wrong about her; she is indeed very suitable for marriage. Now that their lives are getting better and better, Wenrou is at ease.

"That's all thanks to you, Xiaorou. If you hadn't taken us in back then, our lives wouldn't be so good now." Liu Xiaoyu reached out and took Wenrou's arm, her face full of gratitude.

Without gentleness, they wouldn't have the good life they have now.

She will never forget this kindness in her life.

Before, she was just a widow in the village, looked down upon by everyone. But since marrying Wen Jiguang, she now has not only a loving husband but also a family that protects her.

When she returned to the village this time, she saw the envious looks on the faces of those people looking at her. At that moment, she finally felt she could live with her own dignity.

"We're all family, why be so polite?" Wenrou said, taking Liu Xiaoyu's hand and comforting her.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's eat." Wenrou didn't let Liu Xiaoyu continue, lest she bring up painful memories from the past.

The meal was almost ready, and Wenrou, worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, stir-fried two more simple dishes.

Once the food was served, the aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard.

Since Wen Jiguang and his family returned home, they have been eating meat every few days.

Every day at mealtimes, the aroma of meat wafts out of the house, making the neighbors next door almost drool with envy.

Now, the Wen family is the only one in the village who can eat meat every day.

After Wenrou returned this time, Wen Jianshe went ahead and bought a lot of meat.

However, he discovered in the morning that a piece of meat was missing, and he knew without a doubt that Li Xiuying had taken it to her parents' house.

Although she still sends things to her family, she's not as unrestrained as before.

She was also afraid that if she took too much, Wen Jianshe would argue with her.

"Aren't we waiting for my mom to come back?" Wenrou asked when she saw that Li Xiuying hadn't returned yet.

Wen Jianshe said coldly, "No need to wait for her, let's eat first."

It's already this late, she must have already eaten at the Li family's.

Wenrou guessed that was true, so the family happily began to eat.

After they finished eating, they saw Li Xiuying return from the Li family home.

When she got home, she was starving, so she went into the kitchen and saw Liu Xiaoyu washing dishes.

Upon seeing Li Xiuying, Liu Xiaoyu was also taken aback. "Mom, you're back?"

"Is there any food left at home? Quickly get me some, I'm starving," Li Xiuying said to her.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xiaoyu looked puzzled. "Mom, didn't you eat enough at Uncle's house?"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Xiuying's expression immediately changed.

She didn't eat anything at all, let alone feel full.

She took a piece of meat over in the morning, intending to eat it there for lunch.

But to her surprise, when lunch was ready, there wasn't a single meal for her.

The piece of meat she took was hidden by Li Jianguo's wife, Wang Xiufang, who had no intention of giving it to her.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuying had no choice but to return home hungry.

"Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and heat up my food." Li Xiuying was already in a bad mood after being upset at the Li family's house, so she ordered Liu Xiaoyu.

Liu Xiaoyu looked troubled. "There's no food at home."

They had finished all the food they had prepared for lunch, and they knew that Li Xiuying had definitely already eaten at the Li family's house, so they didn't leave any for her.

"You didn't wait for me to eat, and you didn't even save any food for me. Am I not your mother?" Li Xiuying was furious when she heard this.

Hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, Wenrou came over at that moment.

"Mom, didn't you go to Uncle's house? You brought them so many things, and they didn't even give you a meal. That's too much."

Wenrou knew that if she didn't come, Li Xiuying would definitely take her anger out on Liu Xiaoyu again.

Although Liu Xiaoyu has changed a lot, she still tries to be patient in front of Li Xiuying.

After all, Li Xiuying was Wen Jiguang's mother, and she didn't want to cause discord in the family because of her. So, for the sake of her husband, she would silently endure Li Xiuying's temper tantrums.

Wenrou knew about this, so she came to help Liu Xiaoyu.

Her words left Li Xiuying speechless, and her face turned even more pale.

"I... your uncle's family eats late, and I came back first since I saw there was nothing else to do," Li Xiuying said guiltily, avoiding Wenrou's gaze.

If Wenrou finds out that she's trying to please her family, they won't even let her have a meal, and another argument is inevitable.

"Really?" Wenrou looked at her and smiled.

After she finished speaking, she didn't expose Li Xiuying, and pulled Liu Xiaoyu away.

"My sister-in-law and I have something to do. If you want to eat something, just make it yourself."

Seeing that they had left, Li Xiuying had no choice but to grit her teeth and cook for herself.

The meat she bought for the family had all been eaten, and there weren't many vegetables left. In the end, she could only make a few pancakes and roll them up with scallions to eat.

"Sister-in-law, if Mom makes things difficult for you again, don't tolerate it or spoil her. That's just how she is. You have to be even stronger than her to keep her in check, otherwise she'll still be giving things to Uncle."

Wenrou knew that Liu Xiaoyu chose to be tolerant because she was thinking of the family.

If her older brother found out, he would definitely side with her.

"I understand," Liu Xiaoyu nodded.

This family now includes not only Liu Xiaoyu, but also Tan Lin.

Li Xiuying definitely couldn't control Tan Lin's personality, so she could only bully Liu Xiaoyu.

The matter passed quickly, and with only a few days left until Wen Jinian's wedding, Wenrou and the children began to decorate their wedding room.

The house was simply renovated, and the furniture was all newly made by Wen Jinian.

According to their local custom, the bride and groom do not meet for a few days before the wedding.

So Tan Lin had to stay at the town's guesthouse for the next few days. On her wedding day, Wen Jinian rode his bicycle to town to pick her up.

When everything was almost ready at home, the Li family came to visit again.

This time, Grandma Li didn't come; instead, Li Jianguo, Li Fulai, and her cousin Li Li came.

Upon seeing Wenrou, Li Li smiled and went up to take her arm.

"Xiaorou, you're finally back! It's been years since we sisters last saw each other. You have no idea how much I've missed you."

Wenrou frowned as she watched Li Li approach and took two steps back.

"Really? Didn't my cousin say before that I did something so shameful that I didn't deserve to be your cousin?" Wenrou said with a cold smile.

After that incident, she went to town once and ran into Li Li and some of her classmates. When they saw her, they humiliated her in front of her classmates.

She still remembers those words clearly, and coupled with the bullying she suffered at her uncle's house by Li Li and Li Fulai, she doesn't give them a friendly look either.

Li Li's face immediately turned awkward upon hearing Wenrou's words. She hadn't expected Wenrou to bring up past events at this time.

However, thinking about the purpose of her visit, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

"That was all because I was immature before. I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. We're family. How could I possibly look down on you?" Li Li apologized to Wenrou with a smile.

In the past, she really couldn't have imagined that Wenrou would be doing so well now.

If she could go to Beijing, find a partner in Huo Yanchuan's military compound, and settle down there, she would become a city dweller.

Wenrou now lives in a military compound, so she must know many outstanding people.

Even if all else fails, with so many single men in her transport team, she could easily hook up with one and never have to worry about the future.

For the sake of her future, she could endure being scolded by Wenrou right now.

"A joke? I don't find it funny at all." Wenrou's face remained cold.

She showed no respect for Li Li at all. There were even many onlookers at the door, and seeing this scene, they all began to feel embarrassed for Li Li.

"Auntie." In the end, Li Li had no choice but to turn her gaze to Li Xiuying.

"Alright, your uncle, cousins ​​and other relatives came here to congratulate your second brother. Let's not bring up the past anymore," Li Xiuying said at this moment.

Li Xiuying didn't want the atmosphere to become too awkward, so she let them all come in.

Li Jianguo sat down and looked at Wenrou, unable to help but say, "Xiaorou, we're all family. All those things from the past are in the past. Besides, you're doing so well now, why are you being so stingy? When family members need help, they should help each other out."

He said this without a hint of apology on his face; he was simply using his status as an elder to suppress gentleness and obedience.

Wenrou wasn't buying it. She glanced at the people in front of her, pretending not to know anything, and said, "What help do you need? I don't need your help at all."

Hearing Wenrou's words, Li Jianguo was about to speak when Li Fulai looked at Wenrou and said directly, "It's not us helping you, it's you helping us."

He still has that same carefree attitude, just as annoying as he did when he was a child.

"Wenrou, I heard your transport team is doing quite well now. How about this, let me join them. Just pay me 100 yuan a month, that's not much for you."

Li Fulai felt that Wenrou would definitely agree with what he said.

After all, if she could get the Wen brothers, Wen Jiguang and Wen Jinian, into jail, why couldn't she do the same?

Li Li chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Rou, I heard that the military compound where you live is hiring nannies. If you introduce me to them, I can do anything."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but add, "Why don't you let me come to your house and help you take care of your two children? You two are so busy, you probably don't have time to spend with the children usually."

"No need." Wenrou coldly refused.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Fulai, as if she had heard a joke, and sneered, "You're a good-for-nothing hoodlum, why should I let you join the transport team? You even have the nerve to ask me to pay you a hundred yuan a month, do you deserve it?"
