Chapter 168 Bad Luck
"she……"
Huo Chunyan originally wanted to reveal that Feng Xiuhe had given birth to another man's child, because such a thing would be extremely shocking no matter when it happened.
It was only because Huo Hua was honest that she chose to remain silent even after learning about the matter; otherwise, she would have ruined Feng Xiuhe's reputation long ago.
However, she knew that she had no evidence to show for herself. Even if she brought it up, if Feng Xiuhe did not admit it, there would be nothing she could do, and it would only alert Feng Xiuhe.
So she could only frown and say, "She's an ungrateful wretch. Everyone knows how good my brother is to her. I'm sure everyone can see it clearly. Ever since she married my brother, he's done all the housework. He's never said a harsh word to her. But as soon as my brother got into trouble, she couldn't wait to get a divorce. He didn't make things difficult for her and agreed right away. She's still not satisfied and wants to ruin my brother's reputation."
"Isn't this kind of person sick? Whoever marries her is doomed. Besides, what's wrong with spreading rumors about my brother? Why spread rumors that he has a mistress? Everyone knows my brother is a good person. He spends all his time on his family. Where would he have time to meet other people? And Feng Xiuhe is only busy spreading rumors, but she can't say anything about that woman, right?"
The man nodded: "Yes, I asked Howard who his lover was, and they said they didn't know."
Huo Chunyan sneered, "Of course they don't know, and they can't even make it up, because this person simply doesn't exist."
Seeing that what she said was reasonable and well-founded, everyone couldn't help but believe Huo Chunyan's words, after all, Huo Chunyan's words were more convincing.
Huo Hua had a good reputation in the village. He was a very kind and helpful person who liked to help others and had a good relationship with his neighbors. He was also very good to Feng Xiuhe. His only flaw was that he was not in good health. However, after seeing Feng Xiuhe marry him, many people began to regret not marrying Huo Hua in the first place.
Seeing that everyone's expressions had softened, Huo Chunyan sneered, "Anyway, this is the truth. You may not believe it now, but that doesn't matter. Time will prove everything."
"I have something to attend to, so I have to go now."
She had made an appointment with Shen Zhixia today; they had one thing to do: expose what Feng Xiuhe had done.
Although Howard said to let it go, she felt that it absolutely could not be left like that.
Now, what Feng Xiuhe is doing makes her feel even more that what she did was right.
Howard wanted to let Feng Xiuhe off the hook, but what about Feng Xiuhe? She was trying to scheme against Howard at every turn, and now she was openly framing him. He thought Feng Xiuhe was a hopeless woman.
now.
Zhang Chuan just came out of his house.
He hasn't been in a good mood these past few days. After Feng Xiuhe's divorce, he started to have designs on her and wanted to marry her. After all, this woman had given birth to his child, so she was originally his.
However, the Feng family was really asking for an exorbitant dowry. His family didn't have much money; on the contrary, they were quite poor. If his family had been rich, he and Feng Xiuhe would have been the ones to get married back then, not Huo Hua.
Although Zhang Chuan is a bit of a scoundrel, he still has some feelings for Feng Xiuhe, after all, they were together back then.
He genuinely wants to marry Feng Xiuhe, but he also wants to marry her for free...
Ideally, he wouldn't spend a single penny, but even if he did have to spend money, he would only spend a few dozen yuan at most.
Even by today's standards, Feng Xiuhe would be considered one of the most beautiful women in the village. Over the years, Huo Hua has taken good care of her and has never let her suffer any hardship, so she remains as young and beautiful as before her marriage. However, she is now remarried and is certainly not worth that much money anymore. It is outrageous that Feng's mother still dares to ask for such a large dowry.
He went to see Mrs. Feng again, intending to continue discussing the bride price, but as soon as Mrs. Feng saw him, she started to chase him away: "Go away, what are you doing here again? You can't afford the money, yet you want to marry my daughter. You're just dreaming."
“My daughter is so outstanding, and you want to take her away for just a few dozen yuan? Are you crazy, or am I? I must have been insane when I talked to you about this the other day.”
Zhang Chuan said unhappily, "Aunt Feng, you can't just talk about money all the time. I really like Xiuhe. After I marry Xiuhe, I will definitely treat her well. Even if those people take the money, if they don't treat Xiuhe well, then they're doomed, aren't they? I'm different. My feelings for Xiuhe are genuine."
"Pah! If you're sincere, then take out the money. I'll give you a discount. Take out eight hundred yuan, and I'll marry Xiuhe to you if you pay in cash," Mother Feng said disdainfully.
Zhang Chuan said, "Although I don't have this much money now, I used to earn more so that Xiuhe could have a better life."
"Get out! You don't even have any money now, and you expect Xiuhe to suffer with you in the future? I think you're just making empty promises. You should leave now; you're not welcome here."
As Feng's mother was about to send Zhang Chuan away, Zhang Chuan was unwilling. He saw Feng Xiuhe standing to the side and quickly asked, "Xiuhe, you're here. Please say something for me."
He didn't know where his confidence came from, but he always felt that Feng Xiuhe must treat him differently. Little did he know that Feng Xiuhe rolled her eyes and said, "My mother is right. You were never capable of marrying me anyway. You should just leave. My future husband will definitely be someone who can afford to pay me."
Feng Xiuhe had already been brainwashed by her mother, and she decided to marry a man who was slightly wealthy. Even if he wasn't rich, it would be good if he could afford a dowry of over 800 yuan. Naturally, all the dowry money would go to her mother.
She also has a younger brother, who will need money in the future.
Zhang Chuan said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell everyone about your child?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiuhe angrily retorted, "Zhang Chuan, are you threatening me? Let me tell you, if you dare to tell anyone about this, I'll say I was forced. Then my reputation will be ruined, you'll go to jail, and we'll all go to hell!"
Zhang Chuan never used this matter to threaten her, and Feng Xiuhe thought he was self-aware enough to know that it would be bad for anyone if this got out.
The village is only so big. If their reputations are ruined, it won't be a good thing. She thought Zhang Chuan understood that.
Zhang Chuan did understand, and it was precisely because he understood that he had kept the matter a secret.
He left, grumbling and cursing.
While he was idly doing nothing in the fields.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder: "Hello, are you Zhang Chuan?"
