Chapter 335 A Clever Woman
Sun Baojun was not familiar with Huo Hua and did not understand his personality, but since Huo's mother said so, it must be true.
He stopped trying to persuade her and could only silently support Huo's mother. After all, Huo's mother was Huo Hua's biological mother and had the right to discipline him.
Huo's mother wanted to get involved in this matter, but she was also very anxious. She was getting old, and Huo Hua was already an adult. If Huo Hua insisted on being with Wei Min, what could she do? She couldn't possibly sever her mother-son relationship with Huo Hua.
Oh, what a worry, what a worry!
The next day, Wei Min brought her child over. Although she couldn't cook, she bought breakfast for the Huo family: a big bag of soy milk, porridge, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns—it cost quite a bit of money.
She did a very thorough job in this matter, leaving no room for criticism from Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo said, "I have all kinds of ingredients here. You've come from afar, so you're a guest. Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you. You don't need to waste your money. The food outside uses the same ingredients, but it's much more expensive."
She actually disagreed with Wei Min and Huo Hua being together, and suspected that Wei Min was deceiving Huo Hua, but she still had to maintain appearances, so she treated Wei Min quite well on the surface.
Wei Min laughed heartily, "You work so hard cooking breakfast, so I thought I'd buy some food outside. Sometimes it's more convenient to eat out."
She had thought things through carefully. She came early this time to prevent Huo's mother from making breakfast. At this time, Huo Hua and Wei Lele were still not up, so she came alone.
Her behavior this time was extremely ingratiating, both financially and physically. Anyone else would have been very moved, and Huo's mother was also somewhat touched, but she had already formed a perception of Wei Min, so she felt indifferent towards her.
If Wei Min were a friend, that would be great, but if you were her daughter-in-law, there would be a sense of distance.
"Auntie, please try some. If you like any, I'll buy you more tomorrow."
Wei Min put the buns from the bag into a bowl, and then placed them neatly in front of Huo's mother.
She is very good at getting along with people. Her behavior and language are impeccable, which shows that she is good at dealing with people. No matter who you talk to, she will not say anything hurtful.
Logically speaking, such a person would be very popular, but Huo's mother is choosing a wife for Huo Hua. She even hopes that Huo Hua's wife will be a little less intelligent, since Huo Hua is not particularly smart.
A capable daughter-in-law is certainly an advantage, but if she's too capable, she'll completely suppress Howard, and later she'll hide things from him and plot against him, so he won't even know how he died.
Wei Min is indeed quite capable. She could tell that Huo's mother didn't like her very much, but she remained calm and didn't ask Huo Hua. She was looking for a solution. Since Huo's mother didn't like her, she would do her best to behave well. That's why she bought breakfast so early this morning.
It's basic morality not to hit someone who's smiling. Since Huo's mother saw that she had bought things, her attitude towards her wouldn't be too bad. So, she just needs to gradually accept her.
Ultimately, the most important factor in her marriage to Huo Hua was Huo Hua's opinion. She would live with Huo Hua in the future, and at most, she would visit Huo's mother once a year during holidays. She wouldn't have any trouble with the so-called mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship. She had inquired about the Huo family, and when Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia got married, Huo's mother didn't interfere either.
Later, after Shen Zhixia gave birth, Huo's mother went to take care of the child, which is why she and Shen Zhixia were able to spend time together again. Otherwise, Huo's mother would have been living alone in the village.
She and Howard will not have children, so there is no need for Howard's mother to take care of the children in the future.
In short, this is the longest she has spent with Huo's mother so far.
Things will be better after we get married.
She just needs to get through this period.
Her mother's opinion of her was completely unimportant.
Thinking of this, Wei Min smiled at Huo's mother.
Mrs. Huo wasn't a difficult person to get along with. Since Wei Min had already bought breakfast, she didn't want to refuse her kindness, so she took a bite of the steamed bun. The bun did taste quite good. She said, "I'll make breakfast tomorrow, so you don't need to waste your money."
Wei Min smiled and said, "Okay."
Seeing how obedient she was, Huo's mother asked, "Did you also not cook breakfast in the mornings and always buy breakfast outside?"
Wei Min honestly said, "I have to go to work in the factory very early, so I don't have time to cook. I eat in the canteen. The food in our canteen is very delicious. We buy the freshest ingredients every day, and the food is very clean and hygienic."
"Hmm." Mrs. Huo nodded without commenting.
Wei Min is an interesting person; he can casually praise his own factory while answering any question.
It was too early; the sky wasn't fully light yet. A dim kerosene lamp was lit in the kitchen, and the two of them ate their breakfast slowly and deliberately.
Huo's mother said, "I heard that your father wants Huo Hua to marry into your family..."
Wei Min nodded: "This is his idea. Because I am his only daughter, and I have achieved a very important position in the factory, he has always wanted me to find a husband."
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Although our Huo family doesn't have much money, I don't plan for Huo Hua to marry into our family. Although he has been married before, he has no children. I hope he can have a child to carry on the family line."
She held outdated ideas. Of course, Howard's children should have the surname Howard. If they lived in the woman's house and the children took the woman's surname, wouldn't that break the family line? She would rather raise money for Howard and pay a high dowry to get a wife than have Howard move in with her family.
However, Howard didn't seem to care at all, which almost made his mother furious.
Wei Min smiled slightly and said, "I understand what you mean. Actually, our factory is making money, and my career at the factory is doing well. My dad is worried that after I get married, he will also divide up the property, so he proposed that I marry into his family. I actually disagree with it. I think it would be unfair to Ahua if I married into his family."
Mrs. Huo was completely stunned. She thought that Wei Min would definitely not compromise on this issue, after all, their family just wanted to find an obedient son-in-law to control. But judging from Wei Min's expression, it seemed that she was really considering Huo Hua's well-being.
Is she capable of solving this problem?
At Huo's mother's age, she doesn't believe in love, but it seems that Wei Min really does have feelings for Huo Hua, which is why she can ignore even her own father's suggestion.
Wei Min looked at Huo's mother and said, "I don't plan to let Ahua marry into the family. My plan is for us to get married first, and if we have children later, they can take Ahua's surname. Anyway, my dad won't be able to interfere then."
She had a smile on her face; she knew she and Howard wouldn't have children anyway, so she just agreed.
Huo's mother was shocked.
