Chapter 277 Verbal Cooperation
Furthermore, Huo Xinran is closely associated with Huo Chenzhou, so he is marrying above his station.
Huo Xinran glanced at Cai Wenhua with amusement.
She knew that Cai Wenhua had his own ulterior motives, and that his purpose in marrying her was not pure; his main reason was because she was Huo Chenzhou's sister.
In any case, she gave Cai Wenhua everything he wanted. She gave him face and dignity, allowing him to hold his head high in front of his relatives.
That's enough.
Even if she's lying, so what? They won't find out anyway, since her identity is real; she is Huo Chenzhou's sister.
Even if Huo Chenzhou stops interfering in their affairs in the future, what does it have to do with her?
She had already come up with an excuse.
The Huo family had always been dissatisfied with Cai Wenhua, so in a fit of anger, they simply stopped caring about her altogether. In short, she couldn't offer anything.
The Cai family received neither the dowry, money, nor a promising future they desired.
However, by the time they discovered it, it was much later.
As a divorced woman, Huo Xinran could hardly find a good partner; it was simply impossible. Her marriage with Li Chao was a complete mess, and no one was willing to pay for her divorce, but Cai Wenhua did.
Although Cai Wenhua is just an ordinary soldier, he has an income, and he will have a fixed income after he retires. She won't starve if she stays with him. It's really a good result that she found Cai Wenhua.
Otherwise, she'll probably have to find an older bachelor in the countryside to marry again.
Huo Xinran was very satisfied with Cai Wenhua.
She discovered that Cai Wenhua's family was quite easy to fool; she only needed to say a few words and they would believe everything she said.
After Huo Xinran married Cai Wenhua, the two continued to live together, and Cai's mother also moved in with them.
In the morning, Cai's mother got up. When she saw that Huo Xinran was still sleeping, she said with dissatisfaction, "Xinran, it's so early in the morning, why aren't you up to make breakfast for Wenhua? How can you be a wife?"
Huo Xinran looked outside. It was still very early. She frowned and said, "It's only six o'clock."
"Six o'clock is already quite late. I usually get up around five to cook for Wenhua, so I'm leaving this task to you now," Cai's mother said matter-of-factly.
She didn't care what Huo Xinran's status was. As long as she married them, she was their daughter-in-law and should serve them.
Huo Xinran: "..."
She and Cai Wenhua used to eat in the cafeteria, or Cai Wenhua would cook. Of course, she could cook too, but it was absolutely impossible for her to get up so early every day to make breakfast.
She is not someone who can endure hardship.
If she were that hardworking, she wouldn't be arguing and fighting with Li Chao every day.
Her ex-husband's family kept pressuring her to be diligent, but to no avail.
Huo Xinran thought to herself, but a submissive smile appeared on her face: "Okay, Mom, I know, I'll get up and cook."
Cai's mother nodded and said, "It doesn't need to be so complicated. Just make a meat porridge without ginger, and steam a few buns and dumplings, both vegetarian and meat-filled. Make some of both."
Huo Xinran said, "Okay."
Cai's mother asked in surprise, "Can you do that?"
She had never seen Huo Xinran cook before and didn't know her skill level, but Huo Xinran agreed so readily and decisively, seemingly with complete ease.
Huo Xinran confidently replied, "I will."
Cai's mother was relieved.
She also felt a bit like she was trying to intimidate Huo Xinran, since Huo Xinran had never cooked since marrying Cai Wenhua. Wouldn't that mean Cai Wenhua would be cooking for her in the future?
That won't do.
Since she's here, she's determined to train Huo Xinran properly.
But Huo Xinran didn't seem to need her to train her at all. Huo Xinran was very obedient and did whatever she was told, which made Cai's mother very happy.
After receiving Huo Xinran's reply, Cai's mother went back to sleep comfortably. When she woke up again, she thought she would see the cooked dishes in the kitchen, but there was nothing there, and the stove in the kitchen was not even turned on.
Cai's mother: "?"
The smile on her face froze.
What's going on?
Huo Xinran clearly promised to make breakfast, so why didn't she?
She quickly went to call Huo Xinran again, but Huo Xinran was still sleeping; her eyes were barely open.
Upon seeing Huo Xinran's state, Cai's mother immediately became furious: "Didn't you say you were going to cook? How come you haven't done anything? You haven't even lit a fire."
"You've completely deceived me. I trusted you so much, and you've done absolutely nothing. You're driving me crazy."
"Look at the time yourself. It's so late, and you're still up. I've never seen such a lazy wife. Which wife doesn't get up before dawn to make breakfast? You're so young, how can you sleep at your age? Huh?"
Despite Cai's mother's scolding, Huo Xinran remained expressionless.
joke.
Her mother-in-law in her previous marriage was quite formidable. She would not only verbally abuse her but also physically assault her. Back then, she would argue and fight back, causing a huge uproar, but ultimately she didn't gain anything. So, she learned her lesson in this marriage.
Instead of arguing with Cai's mother, she said, "I'll get up and cook right away."
Cai's mother said with displeasure, "What were you doing all this time? Only now are you thinking about cooking."
Huo Xinran could come up with many reasons, such as that she was not feeling well, which is why she got up late, but she felt it was unnecessary because she would not get up early to make breakfast in the future, and she could not always find a different excuse.
So she simply didn't answer, but admitted her mistake, saying, "It's all my fault today, please don't be angry, I'll go cook right away."
Cai's mother's anger subsided slightly: "Alright, go and cook the porridge first, make some vegetable and pork porridge."
"good."
After more than ten minutes, Cai's mother saw that Huo Xinran had not come out yet, and saw that Huo Xinran was still washing her face.
She started urging, "Why are you still washing your face? Hurry up and cook!"
Huo Xinran calmly replied, "I'll be done in a minute, very soon."
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Huo Xinran began to comb her hair.
Cai's mother: "?"
"What are you doing? Look, we're running out of time. Do you even have time to cook porridge and steam buns?" Cai's mother was losing her patience.
Huo Xinran said with a smile, "Soon, almost done."
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Huo Xinran still hadn't recovered.
Cai's mother was completely numb.
Huo Xinran kept saying it would be quick, almost done, but she never finished.
Time was running out.
At this moment, Cai Wenhua had also gotten up.
Cai's mother wanted to make breakfast herself, but she had to hold back. She knew that if she made breakfast today, she would be compromising, and she might not be able to order Huo Xinran around in the future.
Huo Xinran should still cook this meal!
