Woke Up (Part 4)

But in order to avoid people's gossip, they still had to agree to it.

Later, Father Huo earned enough money to buy over ten acres of land and the area around the house.

Although he had to sell the paddy fields to pay for Mother Huo's medical treatment, leaving only five acres of poor-quality dry land, but it was still arable.

With the house renovated from a shabby grass hut to the current mud-tile house, and over two acres of nearby land purchased, it's no wonder that the old Huo family had been eyeing it with jealousy for years.

Knowing that she didn't have much time left, Mother. Huo was worried about leaving the sickly Huo Tianzhou behind.

She knew that if she passed away, Huo Tianzhou would have to return to the old Huo family.

After the family split, they cut ties with the old family, and Mrs. Huo wasn't about to let them take her son back to suffer and be mistreated.

So, she planned for Huo Tianzhou to get married early, knowing that this would make the old family wouldn't that scrupulous to take him back.

At that time, Mother Huo was seriously ill and Huo Tianzhou who is a mute, couldn't find a wife, so Mother Huo sought out Liang Hongyu.

She was eager to protect her son and she was also feeling concerned for Liang Hongyu.

Marrying Huo Tianzhou and enduring some gossip was better than staying in her own family and suffering.

Liang Hongyu and Huo Tianzhou were married three years ago.

A month later, Mother Huo passed away due to illness, leaving behind Huo Tianzhou who is less than 15 years old.

People can't help but sigh when they think about his situation.

The arrangement was for Liang Hongyu to help keep the house and land safe and take care of Huo Tianzhou until he grew up.

Now that Huo Tianzhou could manage his own affairs on his own and Liang Hongyu felt that she had fulfilled her promise.

Guarding the house and land from the old Huo family's grasp didn't bother Liang Hongyu much.

However, she was used to living alone.

During the initial years of the apocalypse when the mutation crisis broke out, she was always on high alert and instinctively kept her guard up around everyone.

Given her circumstances, not only was she unaccustomed to living with others, but Huo Tianzhou was also a sharp-minded person, making them ill-suited to live together.

Now that Huo Tianzhou has already reached the age to marry and Liang Hongyu thought it was time to discuss the separation from him.

Other than feeling unwell when she first woke up, Liang Hongyu now felt much better.
