Reunited With My Cold Army Husband After Four Years

Chapter 4: You Don’t Care About Your Sister’s Reputation?

“Cough... cough...” Su Wanwan opened her eyes, her throat aching as if cut by a knife. She slowly sat up and looked around.

Old newspapers were pasted on the walls. An enamel mug and an oil lamp sat on the cabinet, and a military canteen, which her Big Brother had given her, hung on the wall.

Thinking about having transmigrated here, her Father and Mother surely didn’t know she had come to this place.

She had secretly loved Xie Beishen for four whole years. Who else could be as devoted as her, only to transmigrate here on her first day of work at his company?

If she had known this would happen, she regretted not confessing sooner.

Just as she was about to get out of bed to see what she looked like now, a throbbing pain shot through her ankle.

She saw that her ankle was swollen. No wonder it hurt so much.

Just then, Mother Su walked in with a bowl. Seeing her daughter awake, she shouted outside, “Her Father, our daughter is awake!”

At that, Father Su and Second Brother both walked in.

Su Wanwan still felt a bit guilty. She wasn’t the Original Owner; her personality was completely different from the Original Owner’s.

The Original Owner was a good girl, very obedient to her family, and timid.

They would surely notice her difference very quickly. What would she do then?

This should be the time for work. Su Wanwan’s voice was hoarse as she asked, “Why aren’t you going to work?”

“With such a big thing happening to you, how can we work with peace of mind?” Mother Su said worriedly.

Su Heng pointed at the bowl on the table. “Quickly drink the medicine in the bowl, then tell us who tried to harm you.”

Su Wanwan knew the condition of this body, so she obediently drank the medicine in the bowl. After drinking it, she couldn’t help but frown. It was truly bitter. Modern times were so much better; Western medicine wasn’t so unpleasant to take.

Su Heng quickly peeled the wrapper off a piece of candy and held it to his sister’s mouth. “Eat this and it won’t be bitter anymore.”

Su Wanwan obediently put the candy in her mouth. She couldn’t let them see any difference, because the Original Owner was very well-behaved and listened to her Second Brother very much.

“Thank you, Second Brother.”

Father Su’s brows furrowed tightly as he thought of his daughter being bullied. “Tell me, who bullied you?”

Su Wanwan chewed the candy in her mouth, her mind racing, quickly organizing her thoughts.

If she told them now about the Original Owner and Ma Zhiming dating for half a month, would she be beaten?

Now that she had transmigrated, she wouldn’t take this blame, nor could she. She would just deny it to the death. Besides, the Original Owner had also secretly dated Ma Zhiming, and no one knew.

Thinking for a moment, she adopted the Original Owner’s usual tone of voice and said, “Father, Mother, it was Ma Zhiming who tried to harm me. Last night, he gave me a bottle of soda. After I drank it, my whole body felt terribly hot, and my head was dizzy.”

“He then took me to the cornfield, saying he wanted to sleep with me and that he would marry me. He also said that once he married me, he would make you assign him lighter work and give him this year’s quota to return to the city.”

“Although my body was drugged, my mind was clear. While he was stepping on a cornstalk, I secretly slipped away.”

“If I had walked toward home, he would surely have caught me. My body was drugged and it was truly unbearable, so I thought of the pond on the mountain. Second Brother used to take me there. The pond water is icy cold, perfect for counteracting the medicine in my body.”

“I don’t know how long I soaked, but I only came home when the strange feeling in my body was gone. Halfway back, I ran into Second Brother. Luckily, Father and Mother usually taught me to protect myself. Otherwise, I would definitely have died in the cornfield today.”

“Bang!” Father Su slapped the chest of drawers, instantly furious. “That beast is worse than an animal!”

Su Heng’s eyes suddenly blazed with fire, and his hands clenched into fists. “I’m going to find him right now!” With that, he was about to walk out.

Father Su said sternly, “Stop! If you go looking for him like that, what about your sister’s reputation?”

Su Wanwan nodded. Her Second Brother was impulsive. If he went, her reputation in the village would truly be completely ruined, and she might really have to marry Ma Zhiming.

Su Heng stopped. “Then what should we do?”

Mother Su gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Send him to the public security bureau.”

“No, the villagers will still gossip about our daughter. What if that boy denies it and falsely accuses our daughter of seducing him?” Father Su said. “Such things have happened in the village before.”

He pondered for a moment, then looked at his son again and said, “Go to work after breakfast. I will handle this. I will not let him off lightly for bullying my daughter. Don’t be foolish and openly go looking for trouble with him. Use your brain, don’t act impulsively.”

Su Wanwan nodded and looked at her Second Brother, saying, “Yes, Second Brother, you absolutely must not go. If he falsely accuses me, won’t I really have to marry him? That would be exactly what he wants.”

Su Heng’s face was cold. Suppressing his anger, he said, “Why are you so greedy? If you want to eat something, tell your brother. Won’t your brother buy it for you? Next time you dare to casually eat other people’s things, I’ll beat you until you jump.”

Su Wanwan: “!!!”

It wasn’t her who ate it. What if she didn’t want to admit to this blame? She pouted and still said, “I know. It won’t happen again.”

Father Su instructed, “If anyone asks, just say our daughter sprained her ankle. Eat quickly, and everyone go to work after eating. Don’t let anyone see anything unusual.”

He then looked at his daughter and said, “Heal well. As for that boy, I will definitely flay him. He wants easy work? Dream on. The farm is more suitable for him.”

Su Wanwan nodded. “Yes, he should be sent to the farm.”

In the book, Father Su, Mother Su, and Second Brother all died on the farm. She also had to find a way to send that scoundrel to the farm.

She then thought of Second Brother’s fate, and immediately added, “I saw Ma Zhiming and Liu Caixia entangled before. Neither of those two are good people.”

Father Su nodded, deep in thought.

Mother Su said, “That Liu Caixia is also a cunning person. Many young men in the village are scrambling to earn work points for her.”

Su Heng said dismissively, “I don’t think Liu Caixia is like that. It’s just that the villagers see she’s pretty and are eager to get close to her.”

Mother Su looked at her son suspiciously and said, “You must not get involved with that Educated Youth girl. That girl has too many schemes.”

Su Wanwan’s internal alarm bells went off.

It’s over, it’s over. Has Second Brother already gotten involved with Liu Caixia? He’s even speaking up for her now.

Mother Su gave her daughter a few more instructions, then went to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Su Wanwan was truly hungry now. Eating the mixed grain porridge and eggs that Mother Su brought, it was especially fragrant, especially the eggs. She, who never ate egg yolks before, ate them today in front of Mother Su.

She naturally knew that in this era of scarcity, eggs were very precious.

If she didn’t eat them, Mother Su would surely notice something unusual.

Moreover, the egg yolk tasted especially good today.

After eating, she looked at Mother Su and said, “Mother, perhaps because of the medicine, I’m still a bit sleepy. I’ll take a nap.”

Mother Su said softly, “Okay, don’t get out of bed. I’ll come back at noon to make lunch.”

“Okay.”

Su Wanwan then remembered that the Original Owner used to cook for her family from time to time.

After everyone left, she lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Could she ever return to modern times?

She missed her Father. She missed her Mother. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

She also really missed Xie Beishen. After all, she had thought of him for four years, and she hadn’t even held his hand yet.

As a result, he died without a word.

She felt it was truly a loss.
