Chapter 145 Mother Huo is Missing
Everyone knows that Feng Xiuhe's behavior was very undignified. Staying up late on New Year's Eve was not the trigger; the trigger was Feng Xiuhe's disrespect for Huo's mother. As a daughter-in-law of the Huo family, it was not a big deal for her not to stay up late on New Year's Eve, but she did not inform Huo's mother at all, which was a disrespect to Huo's mother.
Even with Howard's good temper, he couldn't stand her doing that.
He said, "If you go and explain things to Mom now, then we can let this matter go."
Feng Xiuhe was initially a little guilty, after all, she was the one who gave Huo's mother a hard time first, but when she heard Huo Hua's name, her expression immediately turned ugly.
She frowned and said, "Are you asking me to apologize to Mom? I'm not apologizing. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Anyway, she won't go.
That's outrageous.
She was also angry and in a bad mood, so it was absolutely out of the question for her to apologize.
Howard stared at her without saying a word. His eyes were dark and deep, looking quite frightening, as if he were brewing some emotion, but in the end he remained silent.
Seeing Huo Hua like this, Feng Xiuhe felt a little scared, but seeing that Huo Hua didn't say anything in the end, she couldn't help but sneer.
Even if Howard ignores her now, it doesn't mean anything. Once this matter is over, Howard will definitely forgive her, just like before.
In this village, everyone knows that Howard listens to her every word. He loves her very much, and he will forgive her no matter what she does.
It's just a small matter.
Of course, it was also a test for the Huo family. Even if she didn't stay up to celebrate the New Year, the Huo family wouldn't dare to say anything. Perhaps she could be even more audacious.
Feng Xiuhe couldn't help but smile again. She felt smug thinking about what she was going to do next, and she showed it off: "Alright, Huo Hua, don't ignore me anymore. What happened yesterday was indeed wrong of me. I just suddenly felt unwell, so I didn't go to keep vigil for the New Year. You see, Mom isn't angry with me, so don't be angry with me either, okay?"
"Let's just let this matter drop."
This was the first time she had apologized to Howard, and he must have been very touched. However, Howard just gave her a cold look and didn't say anything.
It seemed as if he hadn't forgiven her yet.
Feng Xiuhe: "..."
That's really outrageous.
When did Howard become so tough?
However, Feng Xiuhe ignored him and walked out directly. She would not apologize to Huo's mother, nor did she think that what she did yesterday was wrong.
After she left, she planned to bring up her family's poverty again, hoping that Huo's mother would give her more money.
Actually, this idea wasn't hers either.
It was paid for by her family.
Her younger brother is getting married soon, and the girl he's dating wants three turns and one watch, plus a dowry of 500 yuan, so she's asking her to think of a solution.
Howard actually gave her a lot of money. All the money in the house was entrusted to her for safekeeping. Howard himself didn't have a single penny. After all, they lived in the village and their expenses weren't high, so they lived a very comfortable life. Unfortunately, Feng Xiuhe had two younger brothers.
Previously, Feng Xiuhe had been sending money to her family, which helped build a house for her first brother and get him married. Everything was going well. But recently, her younger brother has grown up and is also getting married, so now they have to rely on her.
But we don't have that much money at home.
"Isn't Mom here?" Feng Xiuhe asked in surprise after searching around but not finding Huo's mother.
She thought that since she hadn't stayed up all night yesterday, Huo's mother would come and question her, and that would be the perfect time for her to ask for money. But Huo's mother wasn't there at all, and didn't seem to care.
Shen Zhixia just came out and said, "Mom went out. She insisted on going to buy meat, but we all said it wasn't necessary. Where can we buy meat at this time of year?"
Feng Xiuhe glanced at her, said nothing, and walked away.
Huo Chunyan said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you hear her talking to you?"
Shen Zhixia tugged at her hand to indicate that it was alright.
Huo Chunyan was in a bad mood. She found that Feng Xiuhe was becoming more and more outrageous. During the New Year, she really showed her dissatisfaction with the Huo family.
But they hadn't offended Feng Xiuhe, so they really didn't know what Feng Xiuhe meant. She acted as if they owed her something.
Just then, Huo Chenzhou came out of the kitchen: "Wife, breakfast is ready. I fried two eggs for you and made soy milk."
As he spoke, he placed the soy milk and eggs in front of Shen Zhixia, both on plates, arranged beautifully and looking exquisite.
Huo Chenzhou, a rough and rugged man, actually has quite a bit of romance.
Huo Chunyan had never seen him like this before.
Thinking back to how Huo Chenzhou had actually made her eat a sour orange yesterday, she felt speechless. Huo Chenzhou used to trick her like this when they were little. He had become much more mature as he grew up, but his core hadn't changed.
"Brother, where's my breakfast?" Huo Chunyan asked.
Huo Chenzhou said, "The soy milk is freshly made, and there's plenty more in the kitchen. Go get some yourself. Also, the eggs aren't ready for you."
Huo Chunyan said with dissatisfaction, "You're such a stingy person."
In the end, he didn't say much and obediently went to the kitchen to get the soy milk.
Anyway, Huo Chenzhou doesn't usually cook, so this time he finally cooked for Shen Zhixia, and she can also enjoy delicious soy milk. Since that's the case, there's no need to make a fuss about it.
After everyone finished breakfast, Mrs. Huo still hadn't returned.
Shen Zhixia asked, "I remember Mom hasn't had breakfast yet, has she?"
"No." Huo Chunyan frowned and said, "We have all kinds of vegetables at home, and we don't lack food for lunch. But Mom suddenly said she wanted to make sweet and sour pork, so she went to the market to buy meat. But at this time, everyone is celebrating the New Year, and they must have already sold out of meat. Where can we buy meat?"
Buying meat is already difficult these days, since everyone wants to buy meat. As soon as the butcher in town slaughters a pig, a bunch of people rush to cut the meat, and they have no chance to snatch any.
Besides, Huo's mother arrived so late, so there was even less chance.
"Mom's been gone for so long, could something have happened to her?" Howard suddenly asked worriedly.
Everyone was stunned. They had never thought of this possibility. After all, Huo's mother was a native of this place and was very familiar with the environment. How could anything happen to her?
But Mrs. Huo hadn't returned for a long time.
Howard said, "The ground is also very slippery."
