Mantou Dad took a look and said, "Yes, it's her."
Mantou Niang wondered: "Who are those people around her? Why is she talking and laughing with a young man? Have you noticed that Captain Huo's wife has not been in the family compound these past two days?"
"I don't know. Don't worry about it. Just keep quiet."
"Oh, I'm just curious! Oh, and Captain Huo's family seems to have asked Grandma Zhao to look after the child. What's going on?"
Mantou was also very interested: "Huo Haowen has been listless these past two days. Mom, do you think his stepmother and father are divorced?"
Mantou Niang was startled instantly.
"Oh, maybe it's true. I've heard that they were having conflicts and that they've been rumored to be getting divorced for a long time. Could it be that they're really getting divorced now? Why haven't I heard any rumors?"
Mantou: "It's normal. Divorce is not a glorious thing. Who would want to talk about it?"
"Yeah, you're right."
Mantou Niang sighed, "She won't find a lover in the city so soon! Captain Huo is really pitiful. She delayed him for so long, and in the end, he lost both his lover and his money, and has to go through a second marriage and a third one."
"I think Captain Huo is an upright person. He's a really nice guy. How about introducing my niece to Captain Huo?"
Mantou's father tutted his words: "Oh, don't meddle in other people's affairs. Don't worry about it. Don't talk nonsense about this."
Wait until a few people return home.
Mantou couldn't hold back and started to cause trouble for Huo Haowen.
"Huo Haowen, where is your stepmother? Why haven't I seen her these past few days?"
Huo Haowen, holding the lunch box, glared at him.
"It's none of your business."
"Hey, let me tell you, I went to the city today and saw your stepmother."
Huo Haowen stopped and looked at the steamed bun.
Mantou looked as if he knew you would be curious.
Huo Haowen wanted to ask something but didn't dare. He endured it for a moment, snorted, and turned away.
Mantou: “…” He quickly caught up.
"Why did you leave? Why aren't you curious?"
He could hardly hold back and speak.
"Hey, let me tell you something! I saw your stepmother talking and laughing with a young man. She was so happy."
"Huo Haowen, did your stepmother divorce your father? Doesn't she want you guys anymore? Are you going to have a second stepmother? Wouldn't that mean your father is getting married for the third time?"
Huo Haowen glared at Mantou fiercely: "Shut up right there! You are not allowed to say anything nonsense."
He roared and ran home.
After returning home, Nian Nian sat obediently under the eaves and read a book.
Since her mother left, she has not cried or made a fuss and has been reading all the time.
Seeing his brother coming back, he shouted, "Brother."
Huo Haowen's expression improved a little, he said "hmm", and went back to the kitchen.
After dinner, Huo Jinyan returned to his room.
Huo Haowen couldn't help it and followed in with a lot of anger.
Huo Jinyan looked at him: "What's your expression?"
"Dad, Mantou saw my stepmother in the city today. She said she was talking and laughing with a young man and seemed very happy."
"Dad, I think what you said before is right. You shouldn't impose your own ideas on others. However, if you want something, you should fight for it yourself. Only after you have tried your best, you are qualified to say such things!"
"Dad, I just feel like you haven't really tried hard enough to win over stepmother. If you put your heart into it, there's no way she wouldn't look down on you! To be honest, you're not that bad! If you were a toad, I wouldn't say anything."
"Dad, I've decided. If you don't marry her, then I will."
