Chapter 161 Let's Get Away With It
Howard looked at them calmly and simply said, "I can give you anything, I only have one condition: let me raise the child."
He and Ya Ya have a deep and abiding affection for each other. After all, he has been the sole caregiver for Ya Ya since she was born, and she is very dependent on him.
It could be said that Ya Ya's relationship with him was even better than her relationship with Feng Xiuhe.
He can raise Ya Ya very well.
They had assumed Feng Xiuhe would agree immediately, but they hesitated.
Feng's mother said, "You're disabled now, how can you take good care of Ya Ya? I think we should take care of Ya Ya."
"Otherwise, the child will suffer if he stays with you."
Feng Xiuhe didn't actually want Yaya that much. She didn't like raising children, and the fact that she had this child was just an accident.
But this child wasn't Howard's to begin with, and she was worried that if Howard found out about it later, he might cause trouble.
Therefore, it's better not to give this child to Huo Hua after the divorce.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiuhe said, "Yes, I am a healthy person, so it is better for me to take care of this child. Your current condition is not suitable for taking care of a child at all."
Howard frowned and said, "If I give you the child, and you remarry and have another child, you will definitely treat Ya Ya badly. But I don't think you will remarry."
He was never someone who longed for marriage; whether he got married or not was irrelevant to him. His marriage to Feng Xiuhe was just a coincidence. Now that the marriage had become unrecognizable, he had thought it over and figured he probably wouldn't remarry.
From now on, he just needs to raise Ya Ya well.
Upon hearing Huo Hua's words, Feng Xiuhe felt inexplicably guilty.
But her mother immediately dispelled her guilt: "Forget it. You're so young. You might get married in the future. Although no one would want to marry you now, what if there are blind women in the future? So saying you won't get married now is uncertain and can't be taken as a promise."
Huo Chunyan spat and said, "Enough, you old woman, please be more polite."
If it were before, Huo Chunyan would have tolerated Feng's mother speaking like that, after all, she was her sister-in-law's mother. But now that Feng Xiuhe is divorcing Huo Hua, they will have no relationship, so Huo Chunyan naturally doesn't need to show her much respect anymore.
Feng's mother said righteously, "In short, I'm telling you, Ya Ya will never give it to you."
Ya Ya is Zhang Chuan's daughter. She plans to marry Zhang Chuan after Feng Xiuhe gets divorced. Although they haven't agreed on the bride price yet, they will eventually.
This child is Zhang Chuan's biological daughter, and Zhang Chuan will definitely have to pay a lot of dowry later.
Therefore, Feng's mother would absolutely not give Ya Ya to Huo Hua.
Howard frowned, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.
He really wanted this child, so much so that he didn't want anything else but the child.
Besides, Ya Ya is usually very clingy to him, while Feng Xiuhe treats Ya Ya very indifferently. He feels that Ya Ya following him is the best choice.
But his leg won't get better...
If a child becomes disabled, and the child might end up taking care of him in the future, then he'd rather not have the child with him at all.
Howard lowered his eyes, seemingly acquiescing.
Mrs. Feng said, "Now let's talk about the furniture. I'll take this furniture and sell it now, and then we'll split the money with you."
She had her own plans in mind.
Huo Chunyan immediately stopped her: "You're dreaming. All these things were earned by my brother alone. You'd better not even think about it. My brother's meaning is very clear. If you give him the child, he can do without anything. But now that the child is with you, you can forget about taking anything from him."
After saying that, she started to shoo people away: "Alright, you should all leave now and not disturb my brother's rest."
They did nothing wrong to Feng Xiuhe. The house Huo Hua lived in, and all the furniture in it, were bought by Huo Hua alone. Huo Hua gave all the money he earned to Feng Xiuhe, and Feng Xiuhe gave all the money to her family. In short, if Feng Xiuhe really wanted a divorce, she shouldn't have any other ideas about Huo Hua.
Feng Xiuhe and her mother exchanged a glance, then chose to leave.
Anyway, they've confirmed today that Howard's leg is crippled and he'll never be able to stand up again. As for the divorce, they've already reached an agreement, and Howard agreed readily, so he probably won't go back on his word.
Since that's the case, there's no point in them staying here.
After the two left, Huo Chunyan said, "Brother, are you really going to give up custody of Yaya? I think you should think it over. I don't think that woman Feng Xiuhe loves Yaya at all, and she can't take good care of Yaya. Do you remember last time? She was taking care of Yaya by herself and she hit Yaya's head so hard that it bled. She's not good to Yaya at all. I think it's not right to give the child to her."
Howard closed his eyes and said wearily, "But if I were to take care of Ya Ya, it would only be a burden to her."
Huo Chunyan said, "Brother, you can't say that. I think your leg can get better."
"But the doctor has already said it won't get better."
Huo Chenzhou, who had been silent all along, said, "You can get better. The medical conditions here aren't good. I'll take you to see a better doctor, and you'll definitely be able to recover."
Howard just smiled wryly, seemingly resigned to his fate: "It's all uncertain, and perhaps things are beyond repair."
He had heard the doctor say with his own ears that his leg was beyond saving, so even though Huo Chenzhou said he would take him to see other doctors, he had no hope at all.
He still holds a pessimistic view about his leg.
Just then, Shen Zhixia said, "Your leg will definitely get better. Shanghai has excellent doctors and excellent medical equipment. There won't be any problems."
She said, "Shen Zhou and I will take you to Shanghai for treatment."
The best hospital right now is in Shanghai. After all, the original owner had lived in Shanghai for so long and had some connections there. Even if the hospitals in Shanghai were destroyed, she could still find out where the doctors were. When that time came, as long as she could properly diagnose Huo Hua's leg, it would definitely be cured.
Howard paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, Shanghai is too far away, and it will cost a lot of money, so I won't go."
The cost of living in Shanghai is very high, unlike in the village. Even just staying there would cost a lot of money every day, let alone going for treatment.
