Chapter 101 Benefiting

Huo Chunyan glanced at her and then, without answering her directly, said indifferently, "You should get some rest."

After saying that, she left.

Huo Xinran watched her retreating figure, feeling a deep resentment in her heart.

This person is absolutely despicable!

Isn't it just an object?

What's so great about it?

She used to live in the countryside, and she looked down on all the men there. If she had stayed here, she would have found someone she liked long ago.

snort……

She will definitely find someone a hundred times better than Huo Chunyan!

Huo Xinran slept soundly that night, and when she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. It was wonderful to be able to stay here; it was so much better than her mud house in the countryside. If she had known this earlier, she should have come sooner.

She left the dormitory and went to find Huo's mother. Huo's mother was making breakfast, and she opened the door for her.

Huo Chunyan is making steamed buns; she plans to have meat buns today.

Huo Xinran can also cook. After all, she comes from the countryside and is very good at housework. She took the initiative to go over and help: "Let me wrap them. I can wrap them very quickly."

Huo Chunyan said, "No need, the steamed buns are already made, we just need to steam some more mantou next."

As she spoke, she took the wrapped buns away and put them in the pot to steam.

She didn't mean anything by it; it was just that Huo Xinran was late. The steamed buns were almost finished, and Huo Xinran didn't need to help. But Huo Xinran was still annoyed as she stared at her back.

She felt that Huo Chunyan was bullying her.

Mrs. Huo didn't notice anything amiss between the two. She smiled and came over to make steamed buns, then joined in steaming them as well.

There was porridge cooking in the pot on the other side.

Shen Zhixia was playing with two children in the yard.

The morning air was wonderful, everything looked beautiful, and at this moment, life was truly peaceful and serene.

However, Huo Xinran suddenly blocked Huo Chunyan's path and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Huo Chunyan: "?"

She looked at Huo Xinran, frowned, and said, "What are you trying to say? This is so strange."

Huo Chunyan disliked her adopted sister Huo Xinran because Huo Xinran had always liked to frame her since childhood. Every time Huo Xinran did something wrong, she would blame Huo Chunyan, making her take the blame. Although Huo's mother eventually realized that it was Huo Xinran's fault, Huo Chunyan was still very unhappy.

Although Huo Chunyan didn't like Huo Xinran, she treated Huo Xinran fairly well and never targeted her. Huo Xinran, on the other hand, often acted inexplicably.

Mrs. Huo walked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong with you all?"

"nothing."

Huo Xinran appeared quite well-behaved in front of her mother, smiling as she said, "Mom, shouldn't I find a boyfriend too?"

Mrs. Huo paused for a moment, then said, "I haven't thought about that yet."

Huo Xinran is still young, having just turned 18 this year. She is in the prime of her youth, unlike Huo Chunyan, who is already 25. So, the person she is always worried about is Huo Chunyan. Fortunately, Huo Chunyan is about to find a partner soon.

Huo Xinran lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, you're so biased. You've found such a good partner for my sister, but you've never considered me."

She thought to herself, "Huo's mother really isn't her biological mother. She's not good to me at all. When Huo's mother was introducing Huo Chunyan to potential partners, she was very anxious, but when it came to me, she was completely different."

This is evidence that Huo's mother doesn't care about her.

Fortunately, she never regarded Huo's mother as her biological mother.

If the Huo family weren't so powerful, and if she hadn't gained more benefits from living there, she would have left long ago.

Mrs. Huo said, "If you have this idea, I'll have your brother keep an eye out for you."

Huo Xinran hummed in agreement.

She increasingly felt that Huo's mother was biased and didn't care about her at all.

Huo Chenzhou wasn't there at this time. After they finished breakfast, Shen Zhixia coaxed the child to sleep and then took a nap herself.

Huo Xinran was a little bored.

So she went outside and happened to run into some women who were washing clothes. There were very few new faces in the military dependents' compound.

Huo Xinran arrived quite late yesterday, so not many people saw her. Everyone was curious and asked her about her identity, which Huo Xinran answered.

Upon hearing that she was actually Huo Chenzhou's sister, a lot of people became more friendly and affectionate towards her.

"So you're Commander Huo's sister? I thought Commander Huo only had one sister, Huo Chunyan. I didn't expect you to have another one."

Huo Xinran said, "I am his younger sister."

The woman said warmly, "You look quite young, and very pretty. It's rare to see such a lovely young girl like you in our neighborhood."

"Yes, she's quite a catch. Commander Huo is so lucky to have such a beautiful little sister like you."

Huo Xinran wasn't actually considered pretty. Even in the countryside, her appearance would only be considered average. Moreover, because she was an adopted daughter, she didn't look like any of the Huo family members.

This is also a knot in her heart.

Huo Chenzhou was handsome and dashing, Huo Chunyan was bright and beautiful, but she was very ordinary-looking. So she had been jealous of Huo Chunyan since she was a child. It was also because of her appearance that she suspected that she was not Huo Chunyan’s biological daughter.

Little did she know that so many people were now surrounding her, praising her beauty, which made her feel dizzy and disoriented.

But she wasn't exactly popular in the village, and none of the younger, stronger men there seemed interested in her.

"Are you coming to the family compound to stay for a long time?" someone asked.

Huo Xinran pursed her lips, unsure how to answer. She wanted to stay permanently, but she was afraid that her mother would send her back.

The sister-in-law said, "You can stay here. When the time comes, find a partner here, someone in the army, no less capable than your older brother, and you can enjoy a life of luxury."

Huo Xinran lowered her head, somewhat shyly: "But would they even want me?"

The woman asked in surprise, "What are you talking about? You're Commander Huo's sister. There are plenty of men who want to marry you. I'm afraid you just don't want them."

Is that so?

Huo Xinran, lacking experience, nervously clenched her hands: "Is Commander Huo's sister very capable?"

Someone said, "Of course, do you know how many people in this military camp want to curry favor with Commander Huo? Huo Chunyan is already 25 years old, and all the men in the military camp are eager to marry her, but she doesn't like any of them."

"You're so young, you have a lot of options."

Huo Xinran's face was full of joy. She knew that the Huo family had been enjoying a life of luxury in the military camp, but she was not quite sure about their status.

But now it seems that the Huo family is really too popular.

Her current status also benefits from this.
