Chapter 134 Favoritism
Huo Chenzhou was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? We are of the same status, you can't just say things like that."
He gave Feng Xiuhe a warning look. Things were already chaotic outside, so she had to be careful with her words. Everyone was the same, there was no difference between them.
But Feng Xiuhe seemed not to understand. She said innocently, "We are all from the countryside. Zhixia is a capitalist's daughter. She has been pampered since she was a child. How are we the same? That's why I was afraid you wouldn't get along."
Considering the Shen family's immense wealth, Shen Zhixia, as their daughter, is naturally a capitalist's daughter. Moreover, Shen Zhixia used to be completely capitalist in her manners, eating, using, and dressing like a capitalist. This time, she has changed quite a bit, but it doesn't change her inner nature at all.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Things are different now. The Shen family no longer exists, so Zhixia is not considered a capitalist's daughter. Don't bring up the past."
"Huh? What happened?" Feng Xiuhe asked in surprise.
She had been staying in the village the whole time, so how could she know what had happened to Shen Zhixia? But judging from Huo Chenzhou's words, there was more to it than met the eye.
Huo Chenzhou explained in just a few words: "Zhi Xia donated all of the Shen family's assets, and the country even gave her an award. In short, the country recognizes her, so you don't need to mention this matter again."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Shen family no longer exists. Zhixia's father went to prison for some crimes, but this has nothing to do with Zhixia and will not affect her."
This is actually a good thing.
Capitalists are being cracked down on everywhere. If the Shen family were capitalists, they would definitely be brought down as well. However, Shen's father had already been imprisoned for committing a crime, and all of the Shen family's assets had been handed over to the state. So no matter how thoroughly the authorities investigate capitalists, they will not be able to find Shen Zhixia.
In other words, Shen Zhixia's identity is absolutely clean.
Shen Zhixia remained silent, letting Huo Chenzhou explain everything to her. In any case, she felt that what Huo Chenzhou said was correct and there was no problem with it.
When she heard the news that her father had been imprisoned, she felt that the ribs she was eating tasted even better. She had no feelings for her father to begin with, and since he had tried to scheme against her, she wished he could stay in prison for the rest of his life.
Feng Xiuhe rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "Then Zhixia has no relatives at her parents' home, right? That's just too pitiful."
She looked down on Shen Zhixia's status as a capitalist's daughter, but she had envied Shen Zhixia before. After all, Shen Zhixia was born into a life of luxury, unlike her, who was born in the countryside and had to do all sorts of work from birth. Fortunately, now that capitalists were being cracked down on, she thought it was really great.
Now that Shen Zhixia is no longer a capitalist, she feels sorry for Shen Zhixia, who no longer even has her family.
Tsk...
She was happy to see Shen Zhixia suffer.
Shen Zhixia calmly said, "I don't feel sorry for myself. What the Shen family did has nothing to do with me. Since they did something wrong, they have to pay the price."
"besides……"
She glanced at Feng Xiuhe and suddenly laughed: "I personally reported my father."
Feng Xiuhe: "?"
Huo Chenzhou said, "My wife did a great job. This is called putting righteousness before family. So what if it's her own father? In the face of justice, family ties seem too insignificant. She did a great job by reporting her own father."
Everyone looked at Huo Chenzhou without saying a word. After all, it was a family gathering, and everyone was a relative. Huo Chenzhou's words at this moment would make people feel a little awkward.
Moreover, Huo Chenzhou spoke these words with a very serious expression. As a regimental commander in the military camp, he had military authority. When he said these words with such intonation, it was as if he was lecturing them, which immediately made the atmosphere serious.
Everyone was inexplicably a little nervous.
It's hard to describe this feeling.
Huo Chenzhou continued, "So, even among family members, one must be mindful of boundaries. If you cross the line, it's definitely not acceptable."
This was clearly just a follow-up to what was said above, but for some reason, Feng Xiuhe felt that Huo Chenzhou was implying something, as if he was giving her a warning.
Her expression was somewhat unpleasant, but Huo Chenzhou hadn't explained it clearly, so she couldn't explain anything either. Besides, it seemed that only she had this feeling; everyone else didn't think there was a problem.
Huo Chunyan chimed in, "That's right. I also think my sister-in-law did a great job. She had a lot of courage. Even though they are family, when it comes to the country, there are no family members. Her report was absolutely brilliant."
However, after thinking about it, she realized that even if her brother did something wrong in the future, she would still not betray him. In her heart, family was the most important thing, and that was why she would support whatever Huo Chenzhou said.
While Mrs. Huo was thinking about other things, she felt gratified to see how well Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia got along. Although she knew they were getting along well when she visited the family compound, she was still very happy to see them living harmoniously.
She was always most worried about Huo Chenzhou, fearing that his marriage would run into problems. After all, Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia had the most serious arguments, but little did she know that in the end they would be the best couple.
Now they've even had such adorable twins.
So life is truly amazing; you can't tell what the ending will be until the very end.
Feng Xiuhe squinted. She thought Shen Zhixia was just pretending. Shen Zhixia's father had gotten into trouble, and she had no family now. How could she be so calm? Although she didn't know why Shen Zhixia reported her father, she didn't have any family to support her. That would be a problem in the future.
Although Huo's mother's house wasn't new, it occupied a large area with many rooms, since everyone lived together before the family divided their property.
After dinner, Huo's mother prepared a room for Shen Zhixia and Huo Chenzhou to rest in.
"This is the room where Shen Zhou used to live. I haven't moved it since he left. It's just like this," said Mrs. Huo.
Huo Chenzhou's room wasn't very big, but it had a large window that opened directly to the courtyard outside. The sheets and blankets had been changed to new ones, all in red, which looked very festive.
Shen Zhixia looked around and found Huo Chenzhou's room to be very simple and lacking in any special features, so she immediately lost interest.
Meanwhile, Feng Xiuhe said to Huo Hua, "Don't you think Mom is very biased?"
