Chapter 998 (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci knew very well that if his family could lend a hand, his wife would definitely feel much more at ease. However, the reality left him feeling helpless.
His sister was still young, and his father was reluctant to live separately from his mother, which led to his mother's unwillingness to come to the city to help them.
Not only that, Huo Qingci also knew very well that his mother favored his younger brother Huo Qingyan.
My mother loves Huo Qingyan much more than anyone else. It seems like she is willing to give anything for this younger brother.
If he was pushed down and his leg was broken by his brother's wife, he could just apologize and be done with it. But if the same thing happened to his wife, I wonder if it would spread throughout the military compound.
"Manman, if my mother runs to the city to help my brother and sister-in-law take care of the children, my father will definitely not agree..." Huo Qingci said helplessly.
Lin Man seemed to be in a bad mood. She interrupted, "Okay, Qingci, stop talking about your brother and the others. Go and do your own thing. I'll call you when I'm free."
Huo Qingci realized that Lin Man was feeling a little down at the moment, so he stopped talking. They chatted briefly for a few more minutes before hanging up.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Qinghuan returned home with Huo Yining. As soon as they entered the house, Huo Li asked with concern: "Qinghuan, didn't your parents go to visit your parents for the New Year? Why haven't they come back?"
Before Huo Qinghuan could answer, Huo Yining interrupted, "Grandpa, grandma and grandpa went to the Song family to pick up our cousins! They probably won't be back until after dinner."
Lin Man thought, as expected, my parents-in-law are really thoughtful.
Lin Man didn't plan to prepare meals for her parents-in-law in the evening, but who knew that they would come back early around five o'clock.
As soon as she came back, Xiao Ya said, "Jingjing is so pitiful. Her eyes are swollen from crying and she can't speak now. Manman, do you have any honey?"

Lin Man said expressionlessly, "It's gone long ago." She thought to herself, even if it was there, she wouldn't take it out.
Xiao Ya was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Forget it if there's nothing. Tomorrow I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some monk fruit to make tea for her. Manman, I ran into your parents today. They went to the Song family and asked me about you."
Hearing this, Lin Man's face instantly turned gloomy. She frowned and replied in a somewhat stiff tone:
"Mom, can you please not talk about me with the Qiao family? I've said it many times, I will never recognize them!
Whether their family is powerful or not, it has nothing to do with me. I will never recognize them!"
Seeing this, Xiao Ya quickly explained, "But they are your biological parents after all. When your mother learned that Jingjing's mother had passed away so young, she cried so heartbroken! She was worried that she would suddenly pass away one day, and you still refuse to forgive them."
Lin Man's face became increasingly ugly, and her voice rose slightly: "Mom, what does it have to do with me whether she leaves or not? I've already said that I have nothing to do with them!
Please stop speaking well of them, okay? If there is nothing else, I will go to cook, you can come back and rest for a while! "
After saying that, Lin Man turned around and walked towards the backyard without hesitation, leaving Xiao Ya standing there alone, her face full of helplessness and confusion.
Xiao Ya murmured to herself, "So many years have passed, why can't Manman let go?"
Huo Junshan said to Xiao Ya, "Okay, Xiao Ya, don't worry about Manman's affairs. She's suffering."
