Chapter 136 Heartbroken

"Just look at that dress of hers, I can't afford it, can't you see that? And the things Shen Zhixia brought back are things I can't even afford to eat all year round. I'm just unlucky to have married you, that's why I'm living such a hard life, and you actually tell me that our life is okay? Huo Hua, you've really gone too far." Feng Xiuhe's tone was full of anger.

Howard said speechlessly, "Why do you always have to compare yourself to others?"

Feng Xiuhe snorted coldly.

So what if she compares herself to others?

It was only after comparing herself to Shen Zhixia that she realized how hard life had been for her. She hoped that everyone would side with her so that she could also live a life of wealth and luxury.

Howard said, “I will continue to work hard to deliver goods and increase my income so that you and your daughter can have a better life. But Shen Zhou’s money belongs to Shen Zhou. Don’t try to take it from him. He is willing to use some of his salary to take care of me every month, and I am already very grateful. It is already this much money, and I shouldn’t have accepted it from him. You want more money from him? That’s absolutely impossible. I will not let you scheme against my brother. You should give up this idea. I don’t want to hear such words from your mouth again in the future.”

He gave Feng Xiuhe a warning look: "Even though you're staying at my mother's house now, you can't go to Shen Zhixia and talk nonsense, understand?"

As husband and wife, he probably understood Feng Xiuhe's personality, which is why he warned her not to go to Shen Zhixia.

Feng Xiuhe looked at him, her brows furrowed: "I was clearly treated unfairly, why are you siding with others? Huo Hua, am I your wife or is she your wife? Why aren't you speaking up for me?"

Howard said, "I'm not personal; if what you said is wrong, I naturally won't side with you."

He felt that Feng Xiuhe was almost unrecognizable to him today. How could she have become like this, actually wanting Huo Chenzhou's money?

Is Huo Chenzhou's money something she should be eyeing? Doesn't she realize her own place? This is outrageous.

Feng Xiuhe plopped down on the bed, feeling a tightness in her chest that she couldn't exhale. She took a sip of water, took a few deep breaths, and still couldn't help but say, "Let me tell you, I've suffered so much injustice over the years. When I gave birth, Mom didn't come to help at all. She doesn't care about me at all. If everyone were treated the same, it would be fine, but look how she treats Shen Zhixia! We're all her daughters-in-law! This year during the New Year, when we went to the kitchen to help with cooking, Mom made me cook and do all the hard and tiring work. But when Shen Zhixia came, she wouldn't let Shen Zhixia do anything and even told her to rest. Tell me, is that fair to me?"

"I've already explained this to you, are you really not going to listen? If you don't want to help in the kitchen, just tell Mom, she won't make things difficult for you." Huo Hua felt annoyed. He turned off the light and planned to go to sleep. He didn't want to say another word to Feng Xiuhe.

In short, I just feel irritable.

He couldn't understand why Feng Xiuhe would keep going on and on about such trivial matters, which was simply a headache.

“It’s just cooking in the kitchen, it’s not a big deal at all. Why should I complain to Mom? There’s no need. All I want is an explanation. Why does she treat me and Shen Zhixia differently? Do you understand?” Feng Xiuhe said unhappily.

“What I’ve never been concerned about is cooking in the kitchen, but rather that Mom should treat us fairly.”

Howard said wearily, "I understand. I'll tell Mom about it tomorrow."

He meant that Feng Xiuhe naturally didn't want to help in the kitchen, and he would tell Huo's mother tomorrow that Feng Xiuhe wasn't feeling well and couldn't go to the kitchen for the time being. Anyway, it was just a small matter, and he really didn't know why Feng Xiuhe was making such a fuss.

But Feng Xiuhe didn't care about that matter; she cared about the money. When she heard Huo Hua agree, she thought he had been persuaded by her, and she was overjoyed. "Really? Huo Hua, you really agreed? Then have your mother talk to them and ask them to give us a little more money every month. If that's not easy, then ask them to give Mom a little more money every month, and then Mom will give the money to us. That'll solve it."

Huo Chenzhou earns more than one hundred yuan a month, so at least half of that should be given to them.

Feng Xiuhe had a very clever plan in mind.

Howard was about to vomit blood: "What's wrong with you? Why are you still after Chen Zhou's money? I've already told you, it's impossible. How could I, as the older brother, ask my younger brother for money? He has a family to support, and he's not having an easy time either. How could I leech off him?"

Feng Xiuhe realized she had misunderstood. She avoided eye contact, her eyes flickering for a moment, but quickly she glared at him and said, "Huo Hua, tell me honestly, don't you want more money? You're Shen Zhou's brother, do you think you're so good to him? You two have a good relationship. If you just step forward yourself, I believe he'll be willing to give you more money. Think about it, Huo Shen Zhou's salary all goes to Shen Zhixia. Shen Zhixia is obviously a spendthrift woman. She only knows how to spend money on shopping. Instead of that, it's better to give the money to us so we can live on."

Her eyes gleamed; she felt she and Howard were on the same side, and that Howard should help her.

Even if her idea is a bit wrong, who doesn't want money?

Howard just glanced at her wearily, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Feng Xiuhe whispered a lot more in his ear, but Howard seemed not to hear anything and just kept his eyes closed without replying.

She then started hitting and pinching Howard, but Howard still didn't react at all.

It's infuriating.

But Feng Xiuhe had no choice.

It was already very late, so she could only go to sleep.

After Feng Xiuhe fell asleep, Huo Hua opened his eyes. His gaze was calm, and he didn't understand why Feng Xiuhe had become like this.

Actually, it was Feng Xiuhe who took the initiative to show him affection.

He's not in good health and doesn't want to get married anytime soon.

But once he fainted from the heat, and it was Feng Xiuhe who happened to pass by and fed him a bowl of water. It was that bowl of water that made him remember Feng Xiuhe.

After that, he became acquainted with Feng Xiuhe, and Feng Xiuhe would come to see him every day.

Feng Xiuhe used to be a very gentle person.

The Feng family wasn't wealthy, but they were considered well-off in the village. She was quiet and gentle, and many people in the village liked her.
