Back in the ’70s: My Military Husband Is Confused

In her sixties, Chen Xi is reborn—back in the 1970s, before she was sent to the countryside as a youth. Along with her second chance, she gains a golden ability: the house and car she owned in he...

Chapter 113 My Heart is Bleeding

She will do everything she can to help those who are good to her, but she never thinks of helping those who are not good to her.

As for that lousy brother Chen Wei, she doesn't care whether he lives or dies!

After Chen Xi finished her confinement, she immediately found an excuse to go out.

In order to resolve the matter quickly and not delay the three children's meals, she had to solve the problem as soon as possible.

After changing his appearance and going to find He Xiuzhi, the resentment on He Xiuzhi's face was about to overflow the screen.

"What important matter is there that you have to ask me for two months' leave? Two months, Guodong! Do you know how much money we have lost?" He Xiuzhi felt his heart bleeding. Two months ago, this guy suddenly said that he had something important to do and could not continue to provide goods, and would talk about it again in two months.

He thought the boy was joking at first, but he didn't expect that what he said was actually true.

This guy disappeared for two months!

I don’t have any contact information, so I can only wait passively.

"Sorry, sorry, something happened at home." In the last month of her pregnancy, her whole family kept a close eye on her and no one let her go out.

There's nothing she can do!

He could only ask someone to send a message to He Xiuzhi, explaining that he could not find him to continue the transaction.

He Xiuzhi wanted to reply, but he didn't know where to reply.

Chen Guodong is too cautious in doing things.

Apart from knowing that his name was Chen Guodong, he didn't even know where he lived or how many people were in his family.

He wanted to investigate, but knowing Chen Guodong's temper, he didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that the business would fail and he would have no money to earn in the future.

I can only swallow this bitter fruit.

"If you don't come out, I'll think you're going to give birth or stay out for a long time." He Xiuzhi glanced at Chen Guodong. For some reason, he always smelled a faint smell on the other person. This smell didn't seem to belong to a grown man, but to a woman who had just given birth.

The reason why He Xiuzhi knew the scent of a woman who had given birth was simply because his sister had given birth to a child when he was in his hometown and had stayed at her parents' home for the confinement period.

There was no way out, because the husband's family always took advantage of their family's previous status as capitalists to oppress his sister. In the end, the He family couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to take his sister back.

This prevented my sister from being bullied further.

When his younger sister gave birth to a child, his parents' health had deteriorated due to the worst years of the economic crisis and they were unable to take care of her. The family's financial situation was not very good, so it was basically him, as the older brother, who took care of his younger sister during the confinement period.

Only then did He Xiuzhi know clearly what a woman's smell was like.

[Qiqi! What's going on?! How can He Xiuzhi smell the scent on me?!] He Xiuzhi's unintentional words startled Chen Xi so much that she almost jumped up from the spot.

How can I not be afraid?

"Honey, the Disguise Pill you took is the lowest level, not the higher level ones. The higher level ones can change your aura." Xiao Qi quickly reminded him.

Chen Xi fell silent for a moment.

Silence is Cambridge tonight...

[So, host, do you need to buy a high-level disguise pill? ]

[What do you think? Let’s not talk about this right now!] Chen Xi withdrew his attention and turned to He Xiuzhi.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could a grown man like me have that kind of smell? I... I was at home taking care of my wife and the baby during the confinement period after giving birth. That's why I wasted so much time!" Chen Xi's mind was working fast, and he quickly came up with an excuse.

After hearing Chen Xi's words, He Xiuzhi looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Even though it's your wife, you can't just not do business! Your wife has given birth to a child, and you still only care about them and don't care about their future food, drink, defecation or urination? There should be time to ship the goods!" He Xiuzhi felt his heart bleeding when he thought about the money he had lost in the past two months.

"Hey! Brother He, you may not know this! My wife has no relatives around her except me. I am also an orphan. We depend on each other, and only I can take care of her." Chen Xi had a thorough understanding of the principle that once a lie is told, he has to continue to tell several lies to cover it up.

The lie came out of his mouth without hesitation.

He Xiuzhi's eyes reddened upon hearing this. "Brother Chen, it's not easy for you. Okay, I get it! It's okay if you earn less money! My wife is the most important thing."

"Well, it's best that Brother He thinks so." Chen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He Xiuzhi is really troublesome!

The two did not continue the topic and started doing business.

Chen Xi counted the items in the house and reported the price to He Xiuzhi, who then just had to pay Chen Xi.

Both parties can make a lot of money, it's such a pleasant experience.

The two quickly completed the transaction, and Chen Xi was about to leave with the money.

One of He Xiuzhi's younger brothers suddenly ran in from outside the door, looking a little panicked as he ran.

"Boss! It's bad! The cops are here!" With just one sentence, the two men's faces turned bad.

He Xiuzhi looked at the goods in the room and immediately reacted. He pulled Chen Xi out of the secret room and quickly closed the door.

What a coincidence.

This secret room was built during the two months when Chen Xi gave birth.

When Chen Xi came over, he found the letter that He Xiuzhi had left outside.

He Xiuzhi said that in order to facilitate transactions, the goods will be kept in a secret room for safety.

Chen Xi felt that what He Xiuzhi said was right, so he did as he was told.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I put the things out, He Xiuzhi came over.

Fortunately, He Xiuzhi didn’t see how he had transformed, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to justify himself even if he had ten mouths!

The entrance to this secret room is so ingeniously built that it is impossible to see it unless you look carefully.

As soon as I left the secret room, the door opened.

Three police officers in military green uniforms walked in from outside.

The leader was none other than Sikong Ling.

The moment He Xiuzhi and Sikong Ling's eyes met, it felt like sparks were flying.

"Isn't this Mr. He from the steel plant? Do you live here?" Sikong Ling recognized this guy at a glance. This guy was the man who spoke ill of him in front of his wife.

He would recognize it even if it turned into ashes!

Who made the other party covet his wife?

"Hey! Isn't this Officer Sikong who can't afford to buy a three-turn and one-ring for his wife?" It seems that Sikong Ling is not the only one who can be sarcastic.

Chen Xi, who was standing by, heard their conversation and frowned.

These two are poisonous!

"Mr. He, whether or not we can afford the three-turn and one-ring is my family's business. As a repairman, you don't need to know so much. What are you doing here? Do you live here?" He asked several questions in succession, leaving He Xiuzhi speechless.

"I'm here to visit a friend." He Xiuzhi said, looking at Chen Guodong.

Chen Xi was met with He Xiuzhi's gaze, and then with Sikong Ling's gaze, and felt a cold sweat on his back.
