Chapter 12: Afraid that she would associate with Huo Beixi
She didn't dare listen to Hua Qingmei and say that she chose Wang Liang. Otherwise, Hua Qingmei would run to Wang Liang's house and tell Wang Liang, and Wang Liang's family would come and make a fuss. What should she do?
"Hey, Xia Li, where is the bracelet you made of grass beads? I remember you always wore it on your wrist before, how come it's gone?" Hua Qingmei's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she just noticed that there was nothing on Hua Xia Li's wrist.

In fact, her eyes would glance at Hua Xiali's wrist from time to time. Hua Xiali had been observing her and naturally noticed it a long time ago, but she did not ask what Hua Qingmei was exploring.

Hua Xiali glanced at his wrist and acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, that, didn't Wang Liang ask me to go hiking that day? I accidentally fell while hiking, and my wrist hit a rock, breaking the rope, and then the grass beads scattered. I planned to pick them up, but it was too dangerous there. Wang Liang wouldn't let me pick them up, nor would he help me pick them up. He also said he would compensate me with a gold bracelet. I don't know if he would buy it for me. If he is really so generous as to buy me a gold bracelet, then I will choose him."

"Broken?" Hua Qingmei paused there, then reacted and asked hurriedly, "Where is it broken? Why didn't you pick it up?"

Hua Xiali was very confused. It was just a grass bead bracelet, why was Hua Qingmei so nervous and anxious? Could this mean that she knew the world inside the grass bead bracelet?
Then she would have to be more careful when using the spiritual spring water in the future, otherwise it would be bad if Hua Qingmei discovered something unusual.

"It's just a grass bead bracelet. I don't care. Why do you care so much? When the grass beads grow again this year, I can pick a bunch and string them together again, right?" Hua Xiali said pretending to be indifferent.

Hua Qingmei also realized that she was too excited just now, and then smiled awkwardly, "I saw you wearing it for several years, and I felt that you must like that bracelet very much. It's such a pity to throw it away like this!"

"What's such a pity? Grass beads are free. Gold bracelets are valuable! I still like gold bracelets." Hua Xiali acted as if he was extremely longing for the gold bracelet.

Looking at Hua Xiali's greedy look, Hua Qingmei felt funny in her heart. With her appearance, she still wanted a gold bracelet. Maybe in her next life!
But Hua Qingmei didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she took Hua Xiali's arm affectionately, looking like a close sister, and continued to inquire, "Which mountain did you and Wang Liang go to climb? What is there on the mountain? Is it fun? Can you tell me about the hiking route? After I get married, I will ask my husband to take me hiking. He has been busy working to make money, and we haven't had a good time..."

Hua Xiali knew that she was asking her in disguise where her grass bead bracelet was broken, so Hua Xiali went back to his room, got a piece of paper and a pen, drew out the route he and Wang Liang had taken that day, and also marked a location on the top of the mountain, telling her that was where the bracelet was broken.

If Hua Qingmei really went to look for it, it would mean that she really knew that there was a small world inside the grass bead bracelet.

After Hua Qingmei got the hiking route map, she hypocritically chatted with Hua Xiali for a while, urging her to choose Wang Liang. She also revealed the news that Huo Beixi was already married in her hometown, and then left Hua Xiali's house.

As soon as Hua Qingmei left, Hua Xiali completely relaxed. She couldn't be sure whether Hua Qingmei was reborn or had her core replaced.

But no matter what, she didn't offend Hua Qingmei. Why did Hua Qingmei come to snatch her opportunity, and why did she persuade her to marry Wang Liang and thus live a miserable life?

Because she couldn't figure out what was going on, Hua Xiali stopped thinking about it. She didn't want to waste time on Hua Qingmei's affairs. Anyway, she was reborn now and had discovered the Lingquan space in advance, so no one could hurt her.

As for the fact that Huo Beixi was married, Hua Xiali didn't believe it, because after Huo Beixi died in his previous life, no one from his family came to claim his body. If he had a wife and children, it would be impossible for them not to come and ask for compensation or pension. After all, no one doesn't love money.

On his tombstone, there are no names of his parents, wife or children except his own. In his previous life, after Hua Xiali divorced and returned to her parents' home with her two children, when she went to the cemetery to worship her ancestors and deceased relatives on New Year's Eve, she would also weed Huo Beixi's tomb and burn some paper money, because apart from her, no one burned paper money for him, which fully proved that he had no family.

Why did Hua Qingmei lie to her and tell her that Huo Beixi was already married in his hometown? It seemed as if Hua Qingmei was afraid that she would have any contact with Huo Beixi. Could it be that there was some story between her and Huo Beixi without her knowing, and Hua Qingmei knew it very well?
Hua Xiali threw away all the worries in her mind, then got up and went to the yard to feed the poultry. When she saw the eggs in the chicken coop, her eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, there were twice as many eggs as before. She only added a little bit of spiritual spring water to the water, but it had such a powerful effect?

Before Hua Qingmei got married, she could no longer use the spiritual spring water, otherwise the family members would undergo too much change due to eating eggs, poultry and vegetables, and Hua Qingmei would definitely be able to see it at a glance.

Alas, she wanted to get her family in good shape, but there was a roadblock ahead, so she could only wait.

Hua Xiali was going to her fourth uncle's house in the afternoon to pick bamboo shoots with her fourth aunt, so at noon she started preparing lunch.

After dinner, Hua Xiali said something to his mother and set off to catch a bus. His mother did not ask Hua Xiali why he was going to his fourth brother and sister-in-law's house. The child had grown up and did not tell her everything.

Hua Xiali was walking halfway when he suddenly remembered that he still owed Huo Beixi a handkerchief. He had forgotten to buy it before, so he insisted on buying it today no matter what, otherwise he would forget about it completely.

Arriving at the bus station in the town, Hua Xiali saw someone setting up a stall outside the bus station, so he walked over, took out Huo Beixi's handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to the stall owner, "Boss, please help me find a handkerchief that is exactly the same as this one."

The boss searched inside the handkerchief, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Hua Xiali, "Is this it?"

Hua Xiali took the handkerchief and compared it carefully. After confirming that they were the same, he nodded and said, "Yes, they are the same. How much is this handkerchief?"

"Five dollars." The boss stretched out his hand.

A handkerchief cost five yuan, which was a bit expensive for Hua Xiali, who didn't have much money at the moment. But she owed someone something and had to pay it back, so she gritted her teeth and bought one.
