Chapter 167 Rumors
Feng's mother's voice was very loud, which quickly attracted a lot of onlookers.
Many people stopped to watch the play as they passed by, and some neighbors even came over to see what was going on after hearing Feng's mother's voice.
"What's going on? Feng family, are you saying that Huo Hua has a lover outside? So it was him who filed for divorce this time. I thought it was Feng Xiuhe who filed for divorce."
Someone quickly asked, still holding sunflower seeds in her hand, her eyes shining; she was clearly the village's intelligence agency, eager to spread the news as soon as possible.
Feng's mother originally wanted to smear Huo Hua, so she was naturally very happy to answer when someone asked her: "Yes, let me tell you, it's because Huo Hua had a lover outside that he filed for divorce from my daughter. Otherwise, why would he have divorced so easily and given the children to my daughter? Isn't it because he felt guilty?"
"In short, Howard is the culprit."
Someone asked, "You said Howard is having an affair, but who exactly is it? Whose daughter is she?"
Feng's mother's eyes flashed, and she said, "How would I know the specifics? I only know that he met her while driving a truck. It was Xiuhe who noticed something was wrong with him and questioned him. He admitted it, and that's the reason for their divorce."
She glanced at Feng Xiuhe and said, "Right? Xiuhe."
Feng Xiuhe looked somewhat embarrassed.
Feng's mother gave her a warning look.
Feng Xiuhe realized that if she didn't wrong Huo Hua, then everyone would accuse her of abandoning Huo Hua and having to choose between her reputation and Huo Hua's reputation. Of course, she would choose her own reputation. After all, Huo Hua was a man, and it didn't matter if his reputation was a little worse.
Besides, now that Howard's leg is broken, no matter what his reputation is, no one will want to marry him. But she is different. She is still young and beautiful and can find a good partner. Her reputation is very important. Howard treated her so well before, so he must understand her.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiuhe nodded and said, "Yes, Huo Hua cheated on me first, which is why we are getting a divorce. I haven't mentioned this before because I wanted to save him some face, but I don't want you to misunderstand that this divorce is my fault, so I still need to make things clear."
"That's strange. Howard's leg is injured, and he needs someone to take care of him right now. Why would he bring up divorce at this time? Divorce won't do him any good now." Someone's tone was full of doubt.
It's normal to have doubts.
Howard is in trouble now, and he may never be able to walk again. So it's very unreasonable that he would file for divorce at this time when he needs people the most.
If Howard cheated, they haven't seen the person he cheated with.
These past few days, it has been the Huo family who have been frequently taking care of Huo Hua.
Therefore, what Feng Xiuhe said is actually somewhat contradictory.
Just then, Mrs. Feng coughed and said, "Who told you that Huo Hua filed for divorce after he was injured? He filed for divorce a long time ago. When we found out that he had a lover outside, we negotiated a divorce, and Huo Hua agreed at that time. It just so happens to be the New Year, so we plan to get a divorce after the New Year."
"As it happened, Howard injured his leg. I feel like it was retribution for him. He did something to betray Xiuhe, which is why he broke his leg. But he was in the wrong first, so even though he broke his leg, we still went ahead with our divorce as planned."
Feng Xiuhe glanced at her mother and admired her greatly. In such a short time, her mother had managed to sort things out.
She is also a talented person.
After hearing what Feng's mother said, everyone agreed that this was indeed the case.
Everyone chatted with Feng's mother for a while longer, until they had gotten their fill of gossip, before finally leaving satisfied.
Seeing those people leave so aggressively, Feng Xiuhe asked uncertainly, "Mom, is what we did really okay? Will Huo Hua come after us?"
Mrs. Feng rolled her eyes: "He's just a disabled person, what kind of account can he possibly have with us? Besides, even if he comes looking for us, we can just deny it. Anyway, we didn't spread this news."
She watched their retreating figures, a mysterious smile on her face: "It was those people who spread the rumor, what does it have to do with us?"
Feng Xiuhe looked at her mother with a reliance on her and nodded.
Mother Feng said, "You can rest assured. You'll be cleared of all wrongdoings in the village soon, and no one will say anything bad about you anymore."
All of these things that Feng's mother did were for her own benefit, and Feng Xiuhe felt very at ease.
Soon, rumors began circulating in the village that the reason for Feng Xiuhe and Huo Hua's divorce was because Huo Hua had cheated on her with another woman. The rumors spread like wildfire and soon reached Huo Chunyan's ears.
Huo Hua had an accident, and Huo Chunyan had originally planned to go to town to buy some things to help him recover. However, when she returned, she saw a group of people talking about something. She didn't intend to pay attention to them, but those people suddenly asked her, "Chunyan, I heard that your brother divorced Feng Xiuhe because he found a lover. Is that true? Who is your brother's lover? Can we see her?"
"What?" Huo Chunyan exclaimed in surprise.
She quickly learned how these rumors started, and her face was full of anger: "My brother stays at home every day except when he drives a truck. How could he have time to meet other women? You are just slandering him!"
"If you dare to say anything more, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Seeing Huo Chunyan's fierce demeanor, the group of people were somewhat frightened and took two steps back. They said helplessly, "No, you can't blame me. I didn't spread this news; Feng Xiuhe said it herself. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
"She said that?"
Huo Chunyan was furious: "She has done so many shameful things, and she still has the nerve to spread rumors about my brother outside."
Feng Xiuhe is truly rotten to the core. She schemed against Huo Hua, gave birth to another man's child, and even made Huo Hua help raise the child. Now that Huo Hua is in trouble, she is afraid of being implicated, so she ran away as soon as possible. Huo Hua is too kind; he didn't hold her accountable for what she did at all, and they divorced gracefully like that.
Instead of being grateful, Feng Xiuhe had the nerve to speak ill of Huo Hua everywhere.
She must find an opportunity to expose Feng Xiuhe's true colors!
Those people's eyes widened, and they immediately asked, "What shameful thing has Feng Xiuhe done?"
