Chapter 148 Why is it only you who came back?
Ultimately, this is Howard's private matter.
Even if Huo Chenzhou and he are brothers, they cannot interfere too much.
However, Feng Xiuhe's behavior this time was indeed too much.
She revealed all her selfishness.
This time, thanks to him, nothing went wrong. But what about next time? If Feng Xiuhe continues to betray Huo Hua in this way, wouldn't she be putting Huo Hua to death?
However, these words remained buried in his heart and were not spoken aloud.
Because Howard was injured, they didn't leave and stayed at the doctor's house. What was supposed to be the New Year turned into a mess.
Feng Xiuhe ran for a long time, and when she saw the oxcart halfway through, she quickly drove it away.
Those people were terrifying!
They were carrying knives and sticks; they were clearly going to kill people.
She had always been a farmer, an honest farmer, with a clean background. It was all because of Shen Zhixia that she was implicated. If she hadn't run away quickly, who knows what might have happened.
She knew Shen Zhixia was a menace. Huo Chenzhou shouldn't have married her in the first place. Now look what's happened!
Shen Zhixia is a jinx.
Once she was on the oxcart, she realized that it was unusually quiet everywhere.
That's strange.
She ran fast, but everyone else ran too. How come there's no one here now?
Just then, the weather suddenly turned cold, and a gust of cold wind swept over her, making her shiver.
Is it going to rain soon?
Why haven't they arrived yet, given the terrible weather?
Feng Xiuhe was filled with mixed feelings. She waited there for a while, but eventually drove the oxcart away.
Forget it, whatever happens to them has nothing to do with her. It's all a disaster brought about by Shen Zhixia, and everything is Shen Zhixia's fault.
After Feng Xiuhe returned home, Huo Chunyan was still playing with the children.
The two children had already woken up and were raising their hands and making noises. Huo Chunyan patiently held a rattle drum and kept shaking it, her eyes full of smiles.
Upon hearing the noise, she looked up and asked, "Have you seen Mom?"
Feng Xiuhe said breathlessly, "No."
She had just returned, and her eyes betrayed her guilt; her whole demeanor was unusual.
Huo Chunyan sensed something was wrong: "Where is everyone else? Why are you the only one here?"
She put the two babies on the bed and then placed a safety railing around them, which Huo Chenzhou had made himself, so that the two babies could crawl around without falling off.
She went outside and, sure enough, saw no one else.
Only Feng Xiuhe returned.
That's outrageous.
Huo Chunyan asked her, "What exactly happened? Why did you come back alone, and why did you drive the oxcart back all by yourself? What about the others?"
Although the town is not far from here, it would still take an hour to walk there.
What exactly is Feng Xiuhe doing? How can she be so selfish?
In Huo Chunyan's opinion, Feng Xiuhe must have secretly driven the oxcart back alone, and as for the reason, she guessed that she had quarreled with someone.
"It wasn't my fault. I waited for them, but they never showed up," Feng Xiuhe denied, immediately shifting the blame.
She said, "When we went to town, we encountered chaos. A group of people said that Shen Zhixia was a capitalist's daughter and were going to teach her a lesson, so we ran back."
She explained the matter in a few words, but Huo Chunyan became serious when she thought of that scene.
"You all ran back? What about them? They didn't come back, did something happen to them?" Huo Chunyan asked anxiously.
Of course she knew about the existence of that group. Since the movement began, all sorts of such organizations had emerged. These organizations used the excuse of overthrowing capitalism to commit all sorts of evil deeds, and there was simply no way to deal with them.
There were similar groups of people in the military camp at the time, and Huo Chenzhou helped resolve many such incidents.
If you encounter an extremely extreme person, it could even be fatal.
This group of people has been brainwashed and has gone mad.
"How would I know? It's all because of Shen Zhixia's identity that we were implicated. We were all running in all directions, how could we possibly notice where the others were? You have no idea how dangerous it was back then. Those people were like madmen. If we had been caught by them, we would have been dead. It was only because I ran fast that I managed to escape."
As Feng Xiuhe spoke, she blurted out, "When I ran to the oxcart, I waited for them for half an hour, but there was no sign of them. So I went back to look for them, but I still couldn't see them. You know it's not safe in town now, and it was getting late. I was a little scared that something had happened, so I rushed back."
The rest of the story was obviously made up, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Since she's all alone now, she can say whatever she wants.
If those people catch them, who knows if they'll even be alive.
She had just heard the news today that a teacher in town had been murdered by this group of people.
Huo Chunyan felt dizzy. She stood up and immediately said, "Can you watch the children for me? I need to go to town to find them."
Feng Xiuhe found it unbelievable: "Are you crazy? The town is in such chaos right now, and you, a girl, actually want to go find them alone? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Huo Chunyan said, "I'm not afraid. I'm determined to find them."
As she spoke, she turned to leave.
But Feng Xiuhe sneered, "I don't have time to take care of your child. I'm going back now."
What kind of joke is Huo Chunyan making?
She actually asked her to take care of the child?
She's too lazy to even take care of her own child; Huo Hua usually takes care of the child by himself. Now she's actually asking her to help Shen Zhixia take care of the child—it's like a dream come true.
She disliked children, especially those limp, weak children, who were too heavy to even hold.
Huo Chunyan exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Even if you're not worried about Mom, shouldn't you be worried about Brother? They might be in trouble now. Aren't you going to do anything?"
Feng Xiuhe's eyes flashed.
She's really not worried.
She even hoped that Howard would just get into trouble, since she had pushed him and his eyes were full of disbelief. She thought Howard probably wouldn't forgive her so easily.
If Howard were killed by those people, that would be a good thing. Anyway, Howard has no value now. She and Howard have a child, and the Howard family will continue to give her money out of consideration for that.
Feng Xiuhe walked outside: "Worrying is useless. If they're alright, they'll come back on their own. I'm leaving now, I'm going home."
