Chapter 341 She Broke Up the Engagement
She said, "Mom, he's so young, what does he know about a wife?"
Mrs. Huo didn't find the question funny. She said seriously, "This child will grow up eventually. Xiao Bao will have a wife sooner or later."
Little Bao cried out, "Xi Fu, Xi Fu."
Shen Zhixia was laughing her head off.
This little baby is already thinking about getting married. Who knows if he'll be able to find a wife when he grows up?
Shen Zhixia thought this, but didn't say it aloud, after all, the child was too young to understand these things.
Since it was the twins' birthday, everyone gave a small gift; Huo's mother and Huo Chunyan both gave the two children red envelopes.
Shen Zhixia put the red envelope away and kept it safe for the two children.
The two children were at an age where they didn't understand anything. They blinked their eyes, felt sleepy after eating, and prepared to go to sleep.
Mrs. Huo then carried them to bed.
Before, Mrs. Huo could hold them both at the same time, but now she can't. They've gained weight, especially the eldest, who's quite heavy. It's tiring for her to hold just the eldest.
So Huo's mother took the two children away in two separate trips.
After her birthday, Huo's mother received a message from Huo Hua that he was planning to marry Wei Min.
Shen Zhixia asked in surprise, "So rushed?"
Howard is really on the fast track. He's only known Wei Min for a few days, but they've already started dating and are getting married now.
He was the most impulsive person she had ever met.
That being said, marriage requires a bit of impulsiveness; if you're too calm, you can't get married.
Mrs. Huo frowned, looking rather unhappy.
Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "Mom, are you unhappy? But didn't you say you agreed to their marriage last time?"
She's realized now that even if Huo's mother doesn't agree, it won't make a difference; Huo Hua is quite decisive in these matters.
Mother Huo said, "It's just that he won't marry into the family, so I don't have any other requirements. You can see the way he is; I simply can't control him."
She still had some reservations about Wei Min. She always felt that Wei Min was someone she couldn't understand, and she always felt that this person had some kind of secret.
Howard is too naive; what if he really gets deceived by her?
Shen Zhixia then asked, "So what is he planning to do now? He's getting married, so will he hold the wedding banquet in his hometown? Does he need our help?"
Huo Chenzhou doesn't have any leave this year. Even if Huo Hua wants to hold a banquet in his hometown, he can't go. Shen Zhixia can take leave from the factory, but she has to take care of the two children, so she probably can't go either.
However, they can help Howard with the wedding preparations and do their part.
Mother Huo got angry when she brought this up: "He said in his letter that he couldn't, but now he wants to get married at Wei Min's place, and he said he doesn't want us to worry about it. You're saying that the wedding is to be held at the woman's place, and he doesn't want us to get involved? Isn't that just like marrying into the bride's family?"
Shen Zhixia said, "Maybe Brother has other ideas. He might want to hold the banquet in his hometown later. You see, Baojun also held a banquet in Chunyan's hometown before. He didn't marry into her family."
“How can he compare to Bao Jun?” Huo’s mother sighed.
She was quite satisfied with her son-in-law, Sun Baojun. He was a good person, very filial, and treated Chunyan very well.
Now, her biggest worry is Howard's marriage; nothing else matters.
Mrs. Huo then said, "No, I have to go see her."
But she was worried about things at home: "The children..."
Shen Zhixia immediately understood what she meant. She waved her hand and said indifferently, "Mom, you don't need to worry about the children. Look how well you've raised them; they're chubby and healthy. You don't need to worry about them at all."
"If you want to see your brother, then go quickly. It's perfect timing. If you have any news, you can let me know."
“Alright, then I’ll go,” said Mrs. Huo.
She wasn't trying to stop him; she just wanted to know about Howard's marriage. She couldn't be completely unaware that he was already married.
After Huo's mother left, the family compound became much quieter.
That evening, she talked to Huo Chenzhou about Huo Hua's marriage.
Actually, she felt that although Wei Min was somewhat shrewd, she was much better than Huo Hua's ex-wife. If they could manage their lives well, they would definitely be able to have a good life.
Perhaps Howard and Wei Min are a good match.
But her idea was quickly proven wrong.
Huo's mother returned after only a few days. As soon as she got back, she complained to Shen Zhixia, "We didn't get married."
"Huh?" Shen Zhixia was stunned.
Weren't those two very much in love? Why didn't they get married?
Could it be that Huo's mother disagrees?
Mrs. Huo understood her meaning and immediately shook her head: "Do you think it's because I don't agree to them being together? Sigh, you're really overthinking it. Look at Huo Hua, he doesn't listen to me either. Even if I disagree, it won't have much of an impact on him."
"It's Wei Min who disagrees!"
Shen Zhixia was shocked: "How could she disagree? Didn't you send a telegram saying they had already prepared the banquet?"
This time, the woman prepared the entire banquet and spent a lot of money. She wouldn't have gone to this extent if she didn't really want to get married. Besides, when Wei Min came last time, she clearly seemed to like Huo Hua quite a bit, so how could she go back on her word?
Mrs. Huo was clearly still angry. She took a sip of tea and said angrily, "Yes, I didn't expect this to be so dramatic. They were planning to get married, and then suddenly a man appeared. That man said that he and Wei Min hadn't broken up, and that man was holding Wei Lele. Do you remember Wei Lele? She's the child Wei Min brought last time."
Shen Zhixia certainly remembered, after all, it hadn't been long since that incident.
Huo's mother was furious: "That man claimed to be Wei Lele's biological father, and said that this was his and Wei Min's child, and that Wei Min should go back to live with him."
Shen Zhixia's eyes widened: "Mom, so it seems your guess last time was right, that child really is Wei Min's?"
Mrs. Huo said irritably, "I guessed this a long time ago. A woman who is so old, single and rich, why would she fall for Huo Hua and be so devoted to him? There must be something fishy going on behind the scenes."
Although Huo Hua is good-looking, he is not only divorced but also poor, at least compared to Wei Min.
"The problem is, even with things like this, Howard still doesn't seem to care," Howard's mother said.
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Howard had previously said that he didn't care that Wei Min had given birth, and Howard's mother thought that Howard was just refuting her, but it turned out that Howard really meant it.
Shen Zhixia asked curiously, "So Wei Min left with that man?"
