Chapter 141 Memories

It was Chinese New Year, and everyone was having a happy meal when Feng Xiuhe suddenly left and gave everyone a hard time, which made everyone unhappy.

However, since no one can revolve around Feng Xiuhe, they naturally don't know what she's really thinking.

Huo's mother sighed and said, "Huo Hua, go and see Xiuhe. I feel like she has something on her mind."

She naturally knew what was on Feng Xiuhe's mind, since Feng Xiuhe had made those unreasonable demands directly, but Huo's mother would never agree to them, so she could only let Huo Hua mediate.

We're all family anyway, so some things can only be left unsaid. What else can we do?

Howard has always been gentle and is best at handling family matters, so he should be able to handle this matter well.

However, this time Howard just kept his head down and ate his dumplings, his eyes showing impatience: "Mom, let's continue eating dumplings. She's not feeling well, so let her be alone for a while."

Mrs. Huo said, "It's not good for you to leave her alone. You should keep her company."

Howard's attitude this time was very firm: "I'm not going."

Huo's mother: "?"

She always thought that Howard and Feng Xiuhe had a good relationship, after all, Howard had never complained about his marriage in front of her, and they had a lovely daughter.

But now it seems that the relationship between these two is...

Huo's mother frowned and said, "Huo Hua, tell me honestly, what exactly is wrong between you two? Let me tell you, this is your own marriage, you must manage it well. If there is anything wrong between you, you must lay it all out and make it clear, otherwise some small things will develop into big things, and then your relationship will be in trouble."

Although she was dissatisfied with what Feng Xiuhe said and did, she was still enduring it. After all, Feng Xiuhe was her daughter-in-law, and she still hoped that her marriage with Huo Hua could be good.

Howard remained silent.

After he finished eating the dumplings, he left, but went to the courtyard instead of going into the room to see Feng Xiuhe.

It seems that his relationship with Feng Xiuhe has really run into problems.

Huo's mother's face was full of worry.

She blurted it out: "What's going on during the Lunar New Year?"

Shen Zhixia was clearing away the dishes without saying a word. Since it involved Huo Hua and Feng Xiuhe, she didn't know what had happened between them, so she didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

Mother Huo said, "Chenzhou, go ask your brother. He's always been like this since he was little. No matter what happens, he always bears it all alone and refuses to say anything. I'm really worried about him. You two are close, so if you ask him, he might tell you."

Huo Chenzhou nodded: "Okay, I'll ask him."

When Huo Chenzhou left, Huo's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Zhixia comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. It's normal to argue after being married for a long time. I think they're just bickering and it won't hurt their marriage."

That's true. It's normal for couples to argue. It's just that Huo's mother was worried. Now that Shen Zhixia has comforted her, she feels a little better.

She then said, "Luckily, you and Shen Zhou have a good relationship, and you never quarrel."

When she went to the family compound to take care of the children, she discovered that Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia had a really good relationship. The way the two got along was very natural, and they never quarreled.

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Yes, that's because Shen Zhou has a good temper. He never holds anything against me. Luckily, I married him."

It would be fine to say good things about Huo Chenzhou in front of Huo's mother. Besides, what she said was true. Huo Chenzhou did have a very good temper. When the original owner was being unreasonable, even if Huo Chenzhou got angry, he would only agree to the original owner's divorce request and never scolded the original owner.

Upon hearing this, Huo's mother beamed with joy. Huo Chenzhou was her most prized son, and she naturally doted on him. Now, hearing Shen Zhixia praise Huo Chenzhou, she felt happy as well.

However, she still said, "You think too highly of him. His temper is anything but good. I think he's always had a bad temper since he was a child. It's you who managed to tame him so well."

She observed that Huo Chenzhou was indeed good-tempered and had never lost his temper. However, Huo Chenzhou was not an easy person to get along with. Even though he had lived in the village for so long, he did not have many friends.

Huo's mother then recounted Huo Chenzhou's childhood: "He had a bad temper and often got into fights when he was young. Every time, parents would bring their children to me, saying that Chenzhou had beaten them up and left them with bruises and swelling. But every time, Chenzhou always had his reasons..."

As Shen Zhixia listened to Huo Chenzhou's past, she raised an eyebrow and occasionally offered a word of agreement. Huo's mother was very happy and continued to talk about Huo Chenzhou.

Huo Chenzhou is very composed now and can be considered a mature man, so Shen Zhixia really didn't expect that Huo Chenzhou was so naughty when he was a child.

He even climbed a tree to steal bird eggs, but the mother bird discovered him when she returned and chased after him, pecking at them. Huo Chenzhou then fell from the tree.

Because of Feng Xiuhe's matter, Huo's mother was not in a good mood, but when she talked about Huo Chenzhou's childhood anecdotes, she couldn't help but smile.

Time flies! I never thought Huo Chenzhou would have a child. He thinks Huo Chenzhou is a good wife, and their marriage will definitely continue to be happy.

This is what she hoped for.

At her age, all she wants is for her children to be well.

She wouldn't interfere in Huo Hua's affairs, nor could she resolve them, but at least Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia were a happy couple, and that was good enough.

Outside, Huo Chenzhou walked up behind Huo Hua and patted him on the shoulder.

Howard did nothing; he just stood there, looking straight ahead.

The weather isn't very good today; it's windy and chilly.

Huo Chenzhou said, "Brother, you're not feeling well, you should go inside and rest. It's too cold outside."

Howard didn't move. He said, "Go in and rest. Don't worry about me."

"No, Mom told me to come out and see you," Huo Chenzhou said honestly.

Howard lowered his eyes.

Huo Chenzhou said, "Do you remember when we were little? We were playing in the yard, and when Mom called us, we didn't make a sound. You led me to hide behind that big tree, and then Mom kept looking for us until dark but couldn't find us. When we got back, we were all beaten up."

Howard smiled and said, "I remember, but Mom didn't kill me in the end."
