Chapter 160 Having a Child
Initially, Feng Xiuhe felt some guilt towards Huo Hua, but now those feelings have completely disappeared.
She just wants to divorce Howard as soon as possible, otherwise Howard will continue to drag her down.
Seeing that there was no more hesitation on Feng Xiuhe's face, Feng's mother immediately raised her voice and said, "Xiuhe, I told you not to come back. Why did you come back? Huo Hua is now disabled. He can't work in the fields or drive a truck anymore. He can only lie at home all the time. You are so young. Are you sure you want to take care of him forever? Don't forget that you have a child. Your best years will be gone by then."
Feng Xiuhe said softly, "Mom, I always have to come back to visit."
Feng's mother said, "I think you should just get a divorce. It seems like divorce is the best option right now, otherwise Huo Hua will drag you down with him."
Feng Xiuhe remained silent.
Feng's mother continued, "Let me tell you, if you don't get a divorce now and choose to live with Huo Hua, then you'll need to go out and work. Do you think you can handle the work in the fields? You've never done any of that work when you were at home. Just doing field work isn't enough; you'll also need to do laundry, cook, and take care of the children. Furthermore, after the children start school, you'll need to go out and work again."
“Even if you feel fine now and think you can do these things, what about in the long run? When Howard can’t help you at all, he’s just a useless person. He can only rely on you, and you’ll start arguing, and it will end in divorce.”
Feng's mother said earnestly, "Since you're going to get a divorce anyway, why not just get one now instead of wasting so many years? What do you think? I would never hurt you."
Her voice was very loud; she was deliberately speaking so that the people inside could hear her.
So after Feng Xiuhe and her mother went inside, everyone heard what they were saying.
Huo Chunyan wasn't surprised at all when they brought up divorce; she felt it was exactly what she expected. She figured Feng Xiuhe definitely wanted a divorce, which was why she hadn't come back for so long.
Sure enough, as soon as she came back, she wanted a divorce; she must have already thought it through.
How hypocritical.
Mother Feng coughed, ignoring everyone else, and said to the person on the bed, "Huo Hua, let me be frank. I know your current situation. You definitely don't want a divorce, but I don't want you to keep delaying Xiu He either. You should get a divorce sooner rather than later, otherwise I will definitely call all my relatives and the village chief to force a divorce."
That statement is somewhat threatening.
Huo Chunyan spat and said angrily, "How can you be so shameless? You are heartless and ungrateful, and you even thought of threatening my brother."
Feng's mother calmly said, "Yes, if your brother still has feelings for her, then he should just get a divorce. That way, we won't have to make things too ugly."
Despite saying that, Feng's mother felt that this divorce would likely lead to a huge scene.
But it doesn't matter. Even if things get out of hand, as long as they can get a divorce and Feng Xiuhe can find another husband and receive a dowry, it won't be a loss.
There are many bachelors in this village, but very few girls, so getting married is not a difficult thing.
If she can receive such a high dowry from Howard, then she can also receive a good dowry from the next person.
Feng's mother had a very clever plan.
Feng Xiuhe looked at Huo Hua somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Is your leg really broken?"
Howard said calmly, "Yes, the doctor said he won't be able to stand up again."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiuhe sighed, her heart sinking with her grief.
She knew she couldn't possibly be with a cripple.
That's where she and Howard ended up.
Since Howard was so frank, she also frankly said, "Howard, let's get a divorce..."
"good."
“Although I know you don’t want to right now… What did you say?” Feng Xiuhe thought she had misheard and stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Howard said, "I said I agree to the divorce."
This time, it was Feng Xiuhe's turn to be stunned. She thought Huo Hua wouldn't be willing to divorce, after all, Huo Hua had nothing now and no one to take care of him. Shouldn't he be tied to her now, hoping that she could take care of him forever? But Huo Hua was so decisive and efficient.
Feng Xiuhe was now in a rather awkward position. She couldn't quite articulate her thoughts, but she felt uneasy.
Huo Chunyan said disdainfully, "Fine, let's get a divorce then. Anyway, my brother doesn't want an ungrateful wife like you. He must be blind to have found someone like you. It's better that you're divorced. Don't bother my brother anymore."
Feng Xiuhe immediately became furious: "Huo Chunyan, why do you speak so rudely?"
Huo Chunyan put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Sorry, I can only speak harshly to people. For someone like you, I have no reason to speak nicely."
"I will take good care of my brother. Please stay away from my brother forever."
Feng Xiuhe came here today intending to get a divorce, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. For some reason, she felt unhappy, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
Anyway, she just felt somewhat unwilling.
Mrs. Feng stared at the house: "Since you want a divorce, then let's divide the property. Xiuhe also has a share of the furniture in this house. I suggest you sell the valuable furniture and then split the money equally between the two of you."
Despite saying that, Feng's mother had already made up her mind that once she sold these things, she wouldn't give any of the proceeds to Huo Hua.
Huo Chunyan was finally furious. She went into the house and grabbed a broom: "Get out of here, all of you! You want more furniture? Do you want to fly to the moon? You're acting like you're seriously ill. If you dare to even think about taking any of these things, I'll kill you all."
She held the broom, and no one dared to move, but Feng's mother was unhappy: "Huo Chunyan, what do you mean by this? Half of these things originally belonged to Xiuhe."
“What a load of rubbish! Feng Xiuhe has never done a single day of work since she married into the family. She just eats and drinks for free every day. Everything here was earned by my brother himself. What does this have to do with her? Now that my brother is in trouble, she immediately wants a divorce. For someone like that, she actually wants a share of the money? She's dreaming.”
Feng Xiuhe's face also darkened.
Just as the two were about to continue arguing, Howard suddenly said, "I can give you the furniture, but I have a condition."
"What are the conditions?" Mrs. Feng asked immediately.
"I want children."
