Hu Wenwen was stunned for a while, and when she finally came to her senses, she was filled with uncontrollable anger.
An anger of betrayal.
Even though she only wanted to use Huo Zhenduo after being reborn, she would definitely have some subtle thoughts about a man who remained unmarried for his entire life because of her.
Now that she has learned that the man who never married in her previous life had married and had children long ago, a subtle feeling began to ferment in Hu Wenwen's heart.
Hu Wenwen stormed back to the small wooden house by the dock.
The single neighbor was cooking something in a small pot set up at his door. When he saw her, he gave her a fawning smile and pointed to the pot.
Hu Wenwen smelled the aroma of meat.
Back in Chenjialiang, she could barely eat meat twice a year. After moving to Jiangcheng, she was lucky if she didn't starve to death.
Come to think of it, it's been a very, very long time since she's smelled the aroma of meat.
Saliva immediately welled up.
Originally, she didn't intend to pay any attention to the bachelor, but now she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
The bachelor seems to have speech problems; he mostly speaks in a babbling, uttering only a few words occasionally.
He looked at Hu Wenwen and smiled, pointing to the small pot, "Eat."
Hu Wenwen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her stomach couldn't resist the temptation, and she went over.
She originally intended to take a portion of the pot to her own room, but the bachelor carried the pot into the room and gestured for her to come in and eat with him.
Hu Wenwen has accepted a lot of food from bachelors, sometimes a steamed bun, sometimes a pancake, and sometimes a handful of noodles.
It was all food to fill her stomach. The bachelor gave it to her voluntarily, and each time he handed it to her, he would turn around and go back to his room without saying much.
Hu Wenwen was initially wary, but later realized that the bachelor was just trying to please her.
This kind of humble, fawning feeling of being pursued by men is something I haven't experienced in a long time.
Besides, she was indeed lacking in food and clothing, so she accepted everything.
Hu Wenwen wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that any man's attempts to please her were always for a purpose.
But she had carefully considered it; the bachelor was as thin as a bamboo pole, so frail he seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, and every time she glared at him, he would shrink back in fear...
This kind of person poses no threat.
Without thinking for long, Hu Wenwen gritted her teeth and walked towards the bachelor's house.
A few minutes later, several loud thuds came from the small wooden house by the dock, followed by a woman's cries, which turned into low sobs...
A passerby heard the noise and clicked his tongue twice, thinking, "It's not even dark yet."
Early winter has arrived, and the wind blowing into the cabin is rather biting.
Hu Wenwen lay naked on the ground, her body already chilled by the wind.
But her heart was not cold.
She never expected... never expected that this seemingly skinny and timid bachelor would dare to force himself on her!
Hu Wenwen's first reaction was to report it to the police, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Her current status... and even if the police are called and the bachelor is arrested, what good will it do? It will only embarrass her in public, nothing else.
Bachelors are hateful, but looking at his grinning, nonchalant attitude, he probably wouldn't care even if you threw him against the wall right then and there.
Hu Wenwen's eyes were vacant, but her mind was racing.
A moment later, she felt a garment being draped over her shoulders.
It smelled awful, so she ripped it open and put on her own clothes.
The bachelor wanted to come closer to her, but hesitated, stammering, "I...I'll be good to you..."
Now he's back to being timid again!
Hu Wenwen was furious. What a show-off!
She sneered, "What? You want to marry me?"
He was poor and had some speech problems, so he was disliked by women when he was young. Over time, he developed a personality that made him afraid to look women in the eye.
Hu Wenwen was unemployed and a drifter; following him would at least prevent her from starving to death.
So, the day Hu Wenwen moved next door, he set his sights on her, feeling that this woman was a good match for him, and that God had taken pity on him and sent him a woman.
After much scheming, the bachelor finally succeeded.
But seeing the contempt and disdain on Hu Wenwen's face, which was no different from those of the other women, he lost his spirit and let Hu Wenwen insult him without saying a word.
Hu Wenwen was exhausted from cursing and felt hopeless.
Actually, she had gone to see Wang Tianfu a few days earlier.
Although Wang Tianfu wasn't a good person, she knew a lot about his dark past, which she could use to blackmail him and at least get some money out of him.
But after making inquiries, she learned that Wang Tianfu was in jail.
Now we've learned that Huo Zhenduo has also gotten married and had children...
There have been so many changes in this life compared to the previous one.
Hu Wenwen had suspected that Qin Hanshu was behind all of this.
However, it's one thing to mess with the Hu family, since Qin Hanshu thinks they might blame their own death on them.
Logically speaking, Qin Hanshu died long ago in her previous life, so she shouldn't know Wang Tianfu and Huo Zhenduo.
Hu Wenwen couldn't find a reasonable explanation for all of this, and could only blame it on the woman Huo Zhenduo married.
Who knows what methods were used to force Huo Zhenduo to marry her?
Hu Wenwen's eyes gradually filled with madness. That woman had stolen the spot next to Huo Zhenduo. That spot was reserved for her by Huo Zhenduo, even though she hadn't wanted it in her past life...
Hu Wenwen looked at the bachelor and said, "If you do me a favor, I'll marry you."
***
Qin Hanshu was somewhat concerned about Ru Mei.
