Chapter 135 Complaints
Howard didn't understand: "Mom treats everyone the same."
Mrs. Huo was not a biased person; on the contrary, she was a very good person, and that's why she treated her adopted daughter very well.
Unfortunately, Huo Xinran is not a good person. Despite how good Huo's mother was to her, she is a heartless wretch and has now left Huo's mother.
“What do you mean?” Feng Xiuhe frowned and said, “Have you noticed that Mom treats Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia very well, but she treats us very badly? I was in the kitchen just now, and she only ordered me around, but she told Shen Zhixia to go and rest. Look at her attitude, she clearly looks down on me.”
Howard said calmly, "You're overthinking it."
Feng Xiuhe shook her head: "It's not that I'm overthinking it, it's just that's how Mom does it. I'm her daughter-in-law, how can she treat me like this? When I gave birth, she didn't come to help, but when Shen Zhixia gave birth, she rushed over to take care of her. If people didn't know better, they would think you weren't her biological daughter."
Howard said, "No, that's not true. When you had your baby, Mom said she wanted to come and help, but the autumn harvest was over by then, and I was free to take care of the baby by myself, so I told her not to come."
“Chen Zhou and his sister-in-law had twins this time. That’s two children, which is already difficult to take care of. Chen Zhou is usually very busy, so Mom went over to help them take care of the children.”
He explained the matter clearly, hoping that Feng Xiuhe would not misunderstand. Moreover, he had explained this to Feng Xiuhe before, but little did he know that Feng Xiuhe still harbored resentment.
They had a daughter, who was very obedient and easy to take care of. He had an easy time taking care of her, so he didn't need to ask Mrs. Huo for help.
Feng Xiuhe rolled her eyes. What she wanted was for Howard to be on the same side as her, not to hear Howard's explanation.
“I really don’t understand. Shen Zhixia is a capitalist’s daughter. She’s just lucky that she didn’t get into trouble this time. To be honest, her identity is not something that can be seen in the light of day. Why does Mom care so much about her?”
Howard, who was usually a mild-mannered person, couldn't help but get a little angry at this moment: "Chen Zhou has already explained that there is no problem with her identity. Don't talk nonsense here, and you can't talk about her behind her back."
Feng Xiuhe's face turned cold, and she said sarcastically, "Huo Hua, I really didn't expect you to be so protective of Shen Zhixia. You wouldn't happen to like her, would you?"
Howard asked incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Feng Xiuhe's previous words were already excessive, but what she's saying now is simply unreasonable; even the most good-tempered person would be angry.
Moreover, such rumors cannot be spread casually, as they could damage a woman's reputation.
Feng Xiuhe said, "Huo Chenzhou's monthly salary is so high, yet he only gives us such a small amount of money. Can't he take more? He only takes such a small amount of money, yet everyone is biased towards him and always puts him first. Even his wife gets such good treatment. I'm not convinced."
Howard's face darkened: "Shen Zhou is still able to use his salary to help us. We should be grateful. He has no obligation to do so. Even if his salary is high, it is his own money. You shouldn't be too possessive of other people's money. Even if he doesn't take a penny, it is still his duty. But he is willing to help us because he is kind-hearted."
"Besides, Mom was just helping my sister-in-law take care of her child. You think she's biased towards her sister-in-law? I think you're overthinking it."
Seeing that he spoke so logically that she couldn't refute him, Feng Xiuhe became even angrier: "How can Huo Chenzhou's money have nothing to do with you? It was the Huo family that supported him back then, which is why he is where he is today. I remember when you went to work at the dock, you also sent all your money to Huo Chenzhou. Now that he's doing well, he should naturally give back to you. This is what he should do. If he doesn't care about you, then he's being unfilial."
"But with so much money in wages, he must have saved up a lot over the years, and yet he only gives you this little bit. Now he's even bringing so many things to show off. Don't you think his behavior is excessive?"
Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia brought some very valuable things this time. Who would buy so many things at once, especially since they were gifts for Huo's mother? It's clear they're not short of money.
When Feng Xiuhe saw these things, she felt both jealousy and anger.
The things they buy are more than the little money they get paid each month. They're living so well, and all they get is that little bit of money.
A small favor is appreciated, but a large favor breeds resentment.
Many people are like this.
If Huo Chenzhou hadn't given anything, that would have been fine, but since he did give money, some people complained that it wasn't enough.
When Feng Xiuhe saw Huo Hua's expression turn ugly, she was initially a little guilty, but as she spoke, she felt more confident.
She was telling the truth.
Huo's mother has wronged them. She is biased towards Shen Zhixia. The reason why Huo Chenzhou has only given them that little money must be because of Shen Zhixia's encouragement. Shen Zhixia clearly has everything and lives so well.
The Huo family is able to live so well because of Huo Hua, yet he has forgotten all that kindness.
Howard rarely gets angry, but he was starting to show some displeasure: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Feng Xiuhe said, "I want Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia to give us more money each month, at least fifty yuan."
Howard was stunned: "Are you crazy, or did I hear you wrong?"
“That’s money that Shen Zhou earned himself. Why should we scheme against his money? Besides, we’re doing very well now. We don’t lack money at all. Our crops are growing very well this year, the harvest is good, and the grain is selling very well. I can also make money driving a truck. We don’t lack money now.”
He's feeling better now and can drive a truck to deliver goods and earn money, but he can't do it for long. However, the income is enough to live on, and Huo Chenzhou sends them money every month.
They are among the best-off people in the village now, and he doesn't know what Feng Xiuhe is dissatisfied with.
Feng Xiuhe gritted her teeth and said, "You really are a good person, always thinking about your family. Why can't you think about me and my daughter? Do you really think that little bit of money is enough? I haven't changed my clothes in a year, and my daughter's clothes are hand-me-downs from my cousin's daughter. We're living a very frugal life, and we haven't been able to eat meat for several days. But look at Shen Zhixia, the fabric of the clothes she's wearing is so nice."
