Chapter 395 Half the Responsibility
Cai's mother was dissatisfied with her, but she never thought of making her divorce Cai Wenhua. After all, Cai Wenhua had already sacrificed a lot and given her a lot of money to marry her, and the price of divorce would be too high.
They had no savings and could not afford to let Cai Wenhua marry another woman.
So her only hope now is for Huo Xinran to get pregnant and have a baby as soon as possible.
After finishing the pumpkin, Huo Xinran went inside to sleep. She didn't want to continue talking to Cai's mother at all. Anyway, the two of them had nothing to say to each other, and if they talked, they would just start arguing again.
When Cai's mother saw that Huo Xinran had gone straight to bed, she became even angrier. She exclaimed, "I can't live like this anymore! All you do all day is eat and sleep. You do absolutely nothing. You're going to bankrupt the family!"
Huo Xinran rolled her eyes: "You eat a lot too, how come you haven't bankrupted the family?"
Cai's mother said, "This is my son's house. I'm eating my son's food, so what? Can't I eat it?"
Huo Xinran said, "Cai Wenhua is my husband. I eat my husband's food, so why can't I eat it?"
Unable to argue with her, Cai's mother became even angrier.
Huo Xinran didn't say anything; she continued sleeping, no matter what Cai's mother said, she just slept soundly, and soon she was even snoring.
Cai's mother tried to wake her up, but she was already fast asleep.
She got angrier and angrier, and after a while, she went to the kitchen to start messing around.
During this time, Huo Xinran did not get up.
Cai Wenhua didn't return until almost evening.
Cai's mother immediately began to complain: "Wenhua, you're finally back! Look at how badly your wife bullies me at home! She does nothing but go to sleep and even locks the door from the inside. I can't get in at all. She's so audacious!"
Cai Wenhua's face was exhausted: "How could Xinran possibly bully you?"
Although Cai's mother and Huo Xinran often quarreled, Huo Xinran never laid a hand on Cai. Both of them were good at talking, and Cai's mother was no pushover either, always saying very harsh things.
These days, because Huo Xinran cannot get pregnant, Cai's mother always finds a few things to say to mock Huo Xinran. Perhaps out of guilt, Huo Xinran's attitude has become much better than before. She rarely argues with Cai's mother anymore, and even listens to Cai's mother and is willing to drink those strange soups and medicines in order to get pregnant.
Therefore, Cai Wenhua doesn't really believe that her mother is now saying that Huo Xinran bullied her.
Cai's mother said, "She even ate the only pumpkin in the house today."
Cai Wenhua rubbed his eyes and said, "It's just two pumpkins. If you want to eat pumpkin, I'll go buy some for you later. Pumpkins aren't anything expensive anyway. If she likes them, then let her eat them."
Cai's mother asked incredulously, "Wenhua, what do you mean? Don't you believe what I said?"
In her view, Cai Wenhua was her son, so he should stand on the same side as her and condemn Huo Xinran. But Cai Wenhua seemed to have betrayed her. How could this be?
Cai Wenhua said helplessly, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just think that two pumpkins are a small matter, and there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."
Actually, when everyone was arguing at first, he sided with Cai's mother, but in the end, the argument only got worse.
Moreover, when the argument gets really heated, Huo Xinran will actually hit him. Strangely enough, ever since he fought with Huo Xinran last time, his attitude towards her has become much better.
Since we're not getting a divorce anyway and will continue like this, it's better not to argue and just let it be. After all, every argument takes a toll on our energy.
He doesn't want to move at all now.
Cai's mother was unhappy: "You've been so good to her. You spent a lot of money when you married her. And what did she do? She deceived you. Her relationship with Deputy Division Commander Huo was clearly bad, but she pretended to be Huo's beloved younger sister. As a result, you didn't get any benefits after marrying her. Do you think this marriage was a bad deal?"
Cai Wenhua said expressionlessly, "It's too late for you to say all this now. If you didn't get any benefits, then so be it. I've come to terms with it and it doesn't matter anymore."
At first, he thought he had climbed the social ladder and was happy to be neighbors with Huo Chenzhou. But what happened? In the end, it was all just a dream.
It's just that he wasn't destined to find a woman who could help him.
So be it for this life.
He found that as long as he didn't argue with Huo Xinran, life was still manageable, since Huo Xinran was quite gentle when she wasn't arguing.
She seemed carefree and always happy, spending her days eating and sleeping. At first, Cai Wenhua disliked her, but later he got used to it.
He felt that Huo Xinran didn't actually have any major flaws; she was just a little lazy and unambitious, but otherwise she was fine.
Cai's mother was furious: "What kind of bewitching potion did Huo Xinran give you? She can't do anything! She can't even have a child now. What use is she? Did you marry a wife? You married a patriarch! What? Are you going to worship her?"
Cai Wenhua remained silent this time.
The matter of the child was indeed a thorn in his side.
He and Huo Xinran have been married for some time now, and they have never used contraception, but they still don't have children. Relatives have been asking about having children, but no matter how hard they try, they just can't get pregnant.
His relatives and colleagues who got married after him all had children.
He was indeed dissatisfied with Huo Xinran on this point.
He also felt that Huo Xinran had a health problem, which was why she couldn't get pregnant.
Cai's mother said, "Anyway, you can't just indulge her like this. She has to go to the hospital to get a proper check-up. I think she has a physical illness, which is why she can't give birth."
She was about to knock on the door when it opened.
Huo Xinran had already had a good sleep. She said, "Cai Wenhua, you and I will go for a check-up tomorrow. We haven't been able to have children, and the doctor I'm seeing may have some kind of problem."
Cai Wenhua immediately got angry: "I have no health problems."
Huo Xinran said, "I went to see my sister-in-law today. She said she could help me find a great doctor who can cure any health problems I may have."
"The issue of having a child isn't necessarily my problem; it depends on both of us. It's very possible that your body or your fertility isn't good enough, which is why I can't get pregnant. Also, you should quit smoking and drinking during this time, as it's not good for having a child."
Cai Wenhua said dejectedly, "What are you talking about? I've never heard of that before."
Huo Xinran said smugly, "This is what my sister-in-law told me. Anyway, you just need to come with me for a medical check-up."
