Chapter 250 How Have I Treated You Badly?
Hua Chunli's eyes turned red because of what Hua Xiali said, but she felt that what Hua Xiali said was right, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask for it in a few years. By the way, what method do you want to use to make money?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to you and my brother-in-law in a couple of days." Hua Xiali took a sip from the teacup, then asked, "Sister, is there anything you want to talk to me about today?"
Hua Chunli hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to take Dad to the hospital for acupuncture tomorrow..."
Although Hua Tiefeng was paralyzed in bed, he was well taken care of. He weighed about 140 to 150 kilograms, and they could not move him at all, so if they wanted to go to the hospital, Hua Xiali would still be needed.
"We won't go for now. We'll go when he realizes his mistake and takes us to heart." Hua Xiali said helplessly, "We were too good to him in the past, but he doesn't have us in his heart at all. He only has others in his heart."
What's the point of taking him to the hospital? It can't be cured, it costs money, and it's very hard. They are so tired, but Hua Tiefeng is not grateful to them at all. Instead, he insults them and resents them. Maybe he thinks that their existence prevents him and Xie Yongfang from being together?
Hua Chunli nodded, "Okay, then we won't go for now. Let's see when he will learn to treat us better. If he never knows his mistakes, we will take care of him until the end of his life and not take care of anything else. We will be exhausted to death, but I don't think he will be soft-hearted."
Hua Xiali reached out and patted Hua Chunli's shoulder. He really wanted to tell her that it would not be their turn to take care of her in her old age, because Hua Tiefeng already had a precious son, and Hua Tiefeng loved this son very much.
It is naturally his son's responsibility to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
But as children, they can't really just ignore everything, so they just have to take care of Hua Tiefeng and do their best. Some things cannot be obtained by forcing them.
Take Hua Tiefeng's body for example. His body was completely disabled and could not be restored unless there was spiritual spring water. But if a scum like this restored his health, Hua's mother would be entangled for the rest of her life.
Xie Yongfang doesn't really love him, and she can't possibly care about Hua Tiefeng. When the time comes, Hua Tiefeng will still have to come back to find his mother, just like Wang Liang came back to find Hua Xiali after he got cancer.
Men are all like this. They share happiness with their mistresses and let their wives bear the difficulties. Some men do not divorce, but live outside with their mistresses. When they get old, they come back to find their wives to support them.
Hua Xiali didn't want her mother to encounter such a thing, so she wished that Hua Tiefeng would not exist in this world. But since he was alive, let him live well!
If you want them to show affection to you like before, forget it. They are only filial and don't show affection to you.
The water in the river bend had dried up long ago, and the fish had also dried up, but the freshwater clams were hiding in the mud, so even if some had died from the sun, there were not that many.
The next morning, after having breakfast with Huo Beixi at home, Hua Xiali took his basket and went directly to the upstream of the river bend. When he arrived at the edge of the river bend, he saw some white clam shells that had been dried by the sun on the mud.
So Hua Xiali quickly went to the bamboo forest opposite and cut a bamboo, then squatted down and started searching on the dry riverbed. Where there were freshwater clams, there would be a cut, and it was obvious that there were freshwater clams inside.
So Hua Xiali used a bamboo to pry out the freshwater clams and put them into the basket. Now there was no spiritual spring space and he couldn't cheat, so he could only put them in the basket and then carry them back with great effort.
There were quite a lot of freshwater clams here, and they soon filled up a basket. However, freshwater clams were very large, so there were only a few in a basket. Hua Xiali used a piece of cloth to surround the basket. Now that there was no spiritual spring water, it was not so easy to make money, and she didn't want others to take away her way of making money!
There are people Huo Beixi knows who collect pearls. Although natural pearls are smaller, they can also be made into jewelry. As long as they can be exchanged for money, she doesn't care how much.
After returning home, Hua Xiali took out a wooden basin and fetched water from the public well in front. He first washed the mud off the shells of the freshwater clams, and then placed the freshwater clams in the wooden basin and raised them with clean water.
The meat of the clam shells is also edible, so you keep them in clean water and let them spit out the mud and sand. This way you can keep the meat for eating and use the pearls to exchange for money.
Huo Beixi came back at noon and saw something soaking in a wooden basin in the yard. He was a little surprised, "Wife, what is that thing soaking in the basin?"
Hua Xiali felt a little embarrassed when he heard the word "wife". He didn't expect Huo Beixi to be able to call out these two words as if nothing had happened. Had he already practiced them thousands of times in his mind?
"This is a freshwater clam, a kind of freshwater shell. The meat inside is edible. Wait a few days for them to spit out all the mud and sand, and you can help me break them open, and I will cook it then." Hua Xiali explained while serving the rice.
"Okay." Huo Beixi took the spatula from Hua Xiali's hand and said, "Wait for me to come back and make lunch next time. If you are worried that it will be too late to eat, you can wash the vegetables and prepare them first."
"You're very busy at work, how can I ask you to come back to cook!" Hua Xiali said deliberately. After they got together, Huo Beixi had always done most of the cooking, and she would cook occasionally. She knew that this day would come later, but she didn't expect that just a few days after their marriage, Huo Beixi didn't want her to cook anymore.
Although he didn't say it, she knew that he must have liked her for a long time, but she didn't know when.
After all, he had only been working at the grassroots level in the countryside for more than a year. They were not familiar with each other before and had only spoken a few times. His attitude towards her was the same as towards other villagers, so it was unknown when he started to like her.
"Are you feeling sorry for me? Then be nicer to me." Huo Beixi hugged Hua Xiali and kissed her deeply for a while before letting her go.
Hua Xiali leaned on his shoulder to adjust her breathing and pinched his arm. "When have I ever been bad to you? Although we just got married, I have been doing my best to be a good wife since the moment we got married. How have I ever been bad to you?"
"Then take a nap with me later." Huo Beixi leaned close to Hua Xiali's ear and whispered.
The hot breath hit Hua Xiali's ears, making her feel tingling. She knew what Huo Beixi meant and nodded.
People who have just gotten married always want to be in touch with each other, and so does she, so the two of them hit it off right away.
In the afternoon, after Huo Beixi went out to work, Hua Xiali locked the gate and returned to his room to take a real nap. He had been making a lot of noise just now and it was not a nap at all.
