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

Chapter 231 Moved to a New Home

"It's all because of that bitch Wenrou. She just moved in today, and I only said a few words to her. Everything I said was true, and it was all information you told me. I didn't expect her to hit me right away!"

Fang Ting told Fang Yuru about this, and when she heard it, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Why did you provoke her?" Fang Yuru couldn't even handle her own affairs right now, how could she be in the mood to deal with Fang Ting's matter?

"Why should I be afraid of her? You said that she and her aunt are both sluts who seduce men, and that they would be kicked out of the family compound sooner or later. I didn't expect her to be so arrogant. You are my sister, you have to help me."

Fang Ting hadn't realized her mistake and even wanted Fang Yuru to help her resolve it.

She was bullied on her very first day here. If she doesn't fight back, she'll lose face here in the future.

Fang Yuru glanced upstairs in Tan Lin's direction and said with some difficulty, "Go back first, and we'll talk after I've dealt with things at home. Just bear with it for the next few days if you can, and don't cause me any more trouble."

Upon hearing that Fang Yuru wouldn't help her, Fang Ting angrily turned and left.

"Fine, if you're not going to help me, I'll figure it out myself."

Fang Yuru was even more troubled by her appearance.

Over here, Huo Yanchuan and his men had already carried all the luggage upstairs, and Wenrou and Wen Shuzhen had also entered their new home with the children.

This is a four-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom; the conditions here are considered the best.

Huo Yanchuan was originally supposed to be allocated a separate apartment, but now all the apartments in the military compound are full, so he has no choice but to live here for now.

Only those at the deputy battalion level or above are eligible to be allocated housing here.

Most of the other people lived in two-bedroom apartments, with a very few getting three-bedroom apartments. The best four-bedroom apartment, which was also the largest, was given to Huo Yanchuan.

The others looked on with envy when they saw how big Wenrou's family lived.

Wenrou led the children on a tour inside and thought it was alright.

Most importantly, their house finally has a separate bathroom and kitchen, which is much better than the conditions they had in the Gobi Desert.

Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan stayed in the largest bedroom, while Wen Shuzhen stayed in a sunny room, and the room next door was reserved for Jiang Yan.

As for the two children, they are still too young to sleep alone and must sleep with Wenrou and the others. Sometimes Wen Shuzhen takes care of them at night.

"It's pretty good here. The furniture is a bit old, but that doesn't affect its usability." Wenrou expressed her satisfaction.

The only drawback is the lack of some home appliances, such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines.

However, that's easy. Lu Ming has come to Beijing with Peng Shao now, so finding him shouldn't be a problem.

The room has been cleaned, and Wenrou only needs to make the bed and put away the furnishings.

Huo Yanchuan had just finished helping them tidy up when he was called away.

Seeing that there was no food at home, Wenrou and Wen Shuzhen took the children to buy some vegetables and grains.

When they returned, Fang Ting had already moved in.

However, I heard that she made a big fuss about the housing allocation. She originally wanted the house allocated to Huo Yanchuan, but in the end she was allocated a small three-bedroom house, so of course she was not satisfied.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she made a fuss, the house had already been divided.

Wenrou returned home after shopping and happened to run into Fang Ting's family moving their belongings.

She already harbored resentment towards Wenrou because of what happened that morning, and now seeing her living in the house she had her eye on made her even angrier.

Wenrou ignored her and took the children upstairs.

Today was their first meal in their new home, and Wenrou cooked a table full of delicious food.

She bought a lot of things on this trip, especially a lot of meat.

This is a tenement building where everyone lives together.

You can smell what kind of food each family is cooking.

Wenrou made braised pork and sweet and sour fish for lunch, and everyone was excited when the aroma came out.

"What did Director Huo's wife make? It smells so good!"

"Yes, it tastes like braised pork, it's really too luxurious."

"I saw they bought quite a lot of things today, and the orderly even delivered them for them. All of this must have cost at least a hundred or two hundred yuan, right?"

"She spent way too much; she used up more than half a year's worth of our living expenses in one go."

Although this is a military compound, the people living here generally have average living conditions. Their monthly salary is only so much, and they live a very frugal life, only able to eat meat once every six months or so.

Wenrou has only just arrived and has already spent so much money so lavishly. They are both envious and jealous.

"Director Huo's monthly salary isn't much, is it? At this rate, it won't be long before her whole family is starving," someone nearby said sarcastically.

Fang Ting happened to be passing by and overheard their conversation. She chimed in, "At this rate, she'll probably be eating coarse grains and wild vegetables in less than a month."

Although she was envious of the lavish meals Wenrou's family enjoyed, she also knew that Huo Yanchuan was only one level higher in rank than her husband, so their salaries were probably about the same.

Not to mention their family, even her sister's family wouldn't dare to eat like that every day.

The others agreed after hearing this, and they were all waiting to see how Wenrou's family would manage next month.

However, it must be said that the aroma of this meat is truly mouthwatering.

The aroma wafting from Wenrou's home made them all swallow hard.

After dinner, Wenrou went out for a while.

She hasn't visited Professor Peng since she returned.

Since I had nothing else to do today, I decided to go and take a look.

It just so happens that she also needs to talk to Peng Shao, and she'll take the opportunity to inquire about Lu Ming as well.

Upon arriving at the residential area of ​​the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wenrou explained her purpose, registered at the entrance, and went inside.

Although Peng Shao bought Professor Peng a house outside, he still prefers to live here.

He's lived here most of his life and he's gotten used to it.

At least here there are people to play chess with and talk to, but living alone in a big house still makes him uncomfortable.

Wenrou reached the door and knocked.

Soon footsteps could be heard inside, and then someone opened the door.

Peng Shao opened the door. He was wearing a white shirt, an apron around his waist, and his face was covered in white flour.

"You..." Wenrou was also taken aback by his reaction.

Is he cooking?

"Why are you here?" Peng Shao was also taken aback by Wenrou's arrival at this time and stood there stunned.

Hearing the sound, Professor Peng also came out of the kitchen.

"Oh my, it's Xiaorou, come in quickly." Professor Peng was also very surprised and excited to see Wenrou, and hurriedly came over.

"Uncle Peng, it's been a long time. I've come to see you." Wenrou put down the things she was carrying for Professor Peng.

"It's enough that you're here. Why did you bring so much stuff? Come and sit down." Professor Peng invited Wenrou to sit on the sofa.

Wenrou saw that the two grown men seemed to be cooking, so she walked towards the kitchen.

"Have you guys not eaten yet?"

As Wenrou walked to the kitchen door, she was immediately shocked.

The kitchen looked like a battlefield, with flour and vegetables scattered all over the floor, and an enamel basin filled with flour on the cutting board.

Upon noticing the flour on Peng Shao's hands and clothes, Wenrou finally asked, "Are you making dumplings?"

She remembered that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also had a canteen, and Professor Peng probably ate there most of the time.

Today, since Peng Shao was finally back, the father and son thought they could make dumplings to change things up, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult for them.

One of them is an academician in the field of agricultural science, and the other is a future business tycoon. Now, they are both stumped by cooking.

Wenrou looked helpless upon seeing this.

"Why don't you all leave? I'll take care of things here."

It seems she arrived just in time today, otherwise the father and son might not have been able to eat this meal.

The two looked embarrassed when they saw the state of the kitchen.

In the end, they had no choice but to hand over the kitchen to Wenrou.

Gently, she rolled up her sleeves and quickly cleaned the kitchen.

She then added some flour to the enamel basin and skillfully began kneading the dough.

After the flour is kneaded into a dough, cover it and let it rest.

At this point, she began preparing the minced meat in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, the minced meat had already been chopped. I gently chopped some chives and added them in, then added seasonings and mixed well.

Once the dough has risen, it's time to start making dumplings.

Wenrou made dumplings very quickly, finishing the whole process in less than an hour.

When she brought it out, both father and son were stunned.

"You...you're amazing!" Peng Shao couldn't help but praise.

Thinking about the scene they just witnessed, which resembled a battle, it was simply too horrific to bear.

Wenrou couldn't help but laugh when she heard him say that. "These are just ordinary life skills. What's so great about them? Besides, I don't know any of the things you guys know. Don't just stand there, they'll get cold if you don't eat soon."

The gentle words made the two grown men blush even more.

This means they can't even perform basic life functions, which is truly shameful.

Wenrou had just finished eating when she arrived, but she felt embarrassed to refuse their kindness, so she could only sit down and eat a few dumplings.

Wenrou made five plates of dumplings, which were all eaten by the father and son.

It has to be said that Wenrou's cooking skills are really good; Peng Shao and the others were so engrossed in their meal that they didn't even have time to talk.

"Xiaorou, your cooking skills are still as good as ever. The food you make is delicious," Professor Peng praised.

Peng Shao nodded in agreement, "That kid Huo Yanchuan is really lucky to get to eat such delicious food every day."

She smiled gently but didn't say anything.

After they finished eating, Wenrou finally got down to business.

"If you're looking for Lu Ming, he lives here. Here's the address, or you can just call him and ask him to come find you." Peng Shao gave Wenrou Lu Ming's address and contact information.

After thanking him gently, she brought up the matter of wanting to open a transport team in Beijing.

"Your idea is not wrong. However, there are already several transport teams in Beijing. If you want to compete with them, you must have your own advantages. Otherwise, even if it is established, it may not last long."

Peng Shao, as expected of a future business tycoon, quickly analyzed the pros and cons for Wenrou.

He did support Wenrou's idea, but this was, after all, Beijing. Developing her own business here would probably not be as simple as she thought.

"I know that even if there are difficulties, I will not give up." Wenrou heard what Peng Shao said. In fact, she had also considered it, but it was a small problem for her.

"Can other transport teams operate in the Gobi Desert? Can they build their own foreign trade transport chains?"

Wenrou looked at Peng Shao with a serious expression. After asking the two questions, she confidently said, "I can."

That's where her advantage lies.

The Gobi Desert will become a key hub in the future transportation industry chain. As long as she takes control of transportation in the Gobi Desert, no one can compare to her.

Besides, my second brother is now working with Tan Lin to develop the overseas transportation industry.

When the time comes, their transport teams can cooperate with foreign countries. She doesn't believe that anyone is better than her.

Seeing the confidence on Wenrou's face, Peng Shao smiled as well.

"That's what I admire most about you. The two advantages you mentioned are indeed something those other transport teams don't have. I believe you will succeed."

With Peng Shao's words, Wenrou felt reassured and could continue her work.

Looking at the radiant gentleness before him, and at the indomitable confidence emanating from her, Peng Shao felt a pang of unease.

Over the years, there haven't been many people he admires, but Wenrou is one of them.

Many times, she couldn't help but wonder, if Wenrou hadn't married Huo Yanchuan back then, but had met him first, would there have been a possibility between them?

He never asked that question.

He knew he had no chance with Wenrou in this life, and only hoped that in the next life, she could give him a chance, a chance to take care of her.

Wenrou didn't stay with Professor Peng for long; after finishing her business, she left.

After leaving the residential area of ​​the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wenrou did not rush home, but instead went to find Lu Ming.

Lu Ming is now working for Peng Shao, and not only is he earning more than before, he has also broadened his horizons considerably.

When Wenrou saw him, she couldn't help but sigh that Lu Ming was completely different from before.

He now looks more and more like the person I saw on the news in my past life.

Lu Ming now wears glasses, and his demeanor is becoming more and more like Peng Shao's.

He was also very surprised and excited to see Wenrou; he hadn't expected her to come to Beijing.

Lu Ming was naturally happy to learn that Wenrou would stay in Beijing.

"By the way, I'm currently short of some home appliances at my place. Do you have any ideas?" Wenrou still wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Having grown accustomed to washing machines and refrigerators in the Gobi Desert, they can no longer live without gentleness.

Upon hearing her words, Lu Ming indicated that there was no problem.

"It's no big deal. I'll contact the people in Guangdong Province and they'll send you a new batch later."
