Chapter 143 Staying Up All Night
Huo Chenzhou didn't actually have a good impression of Feng Xiuhe. In his opinion, Feng Xiuhe was a person of very bad character, and Huo Hua had made a mistake in choosing her, which was why he married her. But now, no matter what he said, it was useless, since Huo Hua had already married Feng Xiuhe and the two had a child.
However, if Howard can't stand Feng Xiuhe and wants a divorce or something, then he will definitely support him.
When Feng Xiuhe first approached Huo Hua, she always acted as if she loved him very much. But after they got married, she began to torment Huo Hua. Life is completely different with different people.
Even if Huo Hua can tolerate Feng Xiuhe's behavior now, what about in the future? If something important happens in the future, and Feng Xiuhe only thinks of herself, what will happen to Huo Hua and the child? Considering the future, it will be very difficult for Huo Hua.
"Shenzhou, don't worry, I can handle things," Howard said helplessly.
Huo Chenzhou looked at him seriously: "I mean what I said."
Howard nodded: "Yes, I know."
Huo Chenzhou glanced at him this time, but didn't say a word.
He knew he didn't need to say anything more. Howard wanted to move on from this matter. Whether he still liked Feng Xiuhe or for other reasons, it didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that he intended to forgive Feng Xiuhe.
This is quite normal.
After all, as a married man with children, he would choose to forgive his partner for sudden changes, as long as the situation wasn't too serious.
"Let's go in," Huo Chenzhou said.
"Okay." Huo Hua seemed to have come to a decision, and with a smile on his face, he nodded and went into the house with Huo Chenzhou.
Inside the room, Mrs. Huo continued, "Chenzhou was so naughty when he was little. He would do anything. He often made my blood pressure rise. I remember once when he was five years old, he went to the lotus pond to bathe and smeared all the mud on himself, making himself look like a mudfish. I really wanted to stop him but I couldn't. It really made me so angry."
"There are many more stories like this. If you're interested, come to my room tonight and I'll tell you all about them."
The two of them talked about countless gossips. In short, Huo's mother seemed very interested and excited. Obviously, she had already said a lot of bad things about Huo Chenzhou.
Huo Chenzhou: "..."
I just feel speechless.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Huo Chenzhou had no choice but to interrupt their conversation.
Shen Zhixia looked at Huo Chenzhou with a smile, her face beaming with indescribable joy: "Mom just told me a lot about your childhood. I realized that my understanding of you before was really incomplete. Combining what you did when you were a child, this is how I truly understand you."
That look in their eyes was anything but a good look.
Huo Chenzhou was somewhat speechless: "That's all in the past."
The things he did as a child were all shameful, so he knew what Huo's mother was basically talking about. If she had told these things to other people, he wouldn't have cared, but it made him feel embarrassed that Huo's mother was telling Shen Zhixia these things.
He actually wanted to present his best self to Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia smiled but didn't say anything. Huo Chenzhou looked at the smile in her eyes and couldn't help but squeeze her hand. Shen Zhixia then coughed and stopped smiling.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Alright, let's not talk about this today."
He glanced at Huo's mother and reminded her, "Mom, please don't bring this up again."
Mrs. Huo said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with that? These are things you did when you were little. What's wrong with talking about them? Zhixia isn't an outsider."
Huo Chenzhou said seriously, "The past is the past. I was too young and immature back then, which is why I did those things. In short, don't mention it again."
Mrs. Huo raised an eyebrow slightly.
After all, he was her own son, and she soon realized something was wrong. Huo Chenzhou was trying to save face in front of Shen Zhixia.
Okay, if you want to save face, then save face. After all, Huo Chenzhou is quite old, and she really shouldn't bring up his past.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huo could only nod and say, "Alright, I understand. I will never speak ill of you again."
Huo Chenzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Huo Chunyan, standing to the side, curled her lip and clicked her tongue: "It's not a big deal. What's wrong with just talking about it? Brother, I think you're overthinking it."
Seeing Huo Chenzhou's eyes widen, she quickly snorted, "Fine, then I won't say anything."
She didn't want to upset Huo Chenzhou, but seeing his expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Don't say things you shouldn't say. They're all just meaningless words anyway."
Huo Chunyan: "..."
She couldn't be bothered to talk to Huo Chenzhou.
Shen Zhixia said with a smile, "Honey, what did you and my brother talk about when you went out just now?"
Huo Chenzhou glanced inside but didn't see Feng Xiuhe, so he lowered his voice and said, "What else can I say? It's about what happened between them. My brother thinks that my sister-in-law... well, her way of handling things is a bit problematic, but he still plans to forgive her, and the two of them will continue to live happily together."
Mrs. Huo nodded upon hearing this: "Of course. I hope they can both manage their marriage well and never betray it. Even if Feng Xiuhe has said some problematic things recently, as long as she can change, that's fine. I hope Huo Hua can persuade her."
Feng Xiuhe's previous words were quite offensive, and they didn't tell Huo Chenzhou about these things, but Huo Chenzhou could probably guess some of them.
However, Huo's mother wouldn't hold these things against her. She hoped that Feng Xiuhe could repent and then live a good life with Huo Hua.
This is what a mother hopes for.
Shen Zhixia nodded.
She didn't really care about Feng Xiuhe. Although she didn't like Feng Xiuhe very much, she wouldn't continue to associate with Feng Xiuhe after the New Year, so she wouldn't take Feng Xiuhe's affairs to heart.
"We'll stay up all night tonight," said Mother Huo.
This is the custom for celebrating the Lunar New Year, but they don't need to stay up all day; they only need to stay up until one or two in the morning.
Howard doesn't stay up all night; his health isn't very good, so he can't stay up late. He went to rest early, but Feng Xiuhe didn't come either, and without giving a reason.
Mrs. Huo lowered her eyes and did not speak.
