Chapter 267 Didn’t Enjoy Such Treatment
The two of them went to Hua's mother's house. Others were wishing Huo Beixi a happy new year. Seeing that the door of Huo Beixi's house was locked, they guessed that he should be at his mother-in-law's house, and then went to Hua's mother's house to wish Huo Beixi a happy new year.
Hua's mother served melon seeds and snacks to entertain everyone. She also made hot green tea for everyone and explained, "This is the Mingqian tea I got from my relative's house. It's very delicious. Everyone should try it."
Ever since Hua Tiefeng came back from the accident, no one had visited their house for many years. The only ones who came were a few families with whom they had a good relationship. Unexpectedly, this year the house became lively again because of Huo Beixi.
Seeing those unfamiliar people with awkward expressions on their faces, Hua's mother felt relieved. What was the point of looking down on her family? They still had to deal with them under pressure.
It’s just like knowing that Chinese medicine is bitter but having to drink it anyway.
In order to chat with Huo Beixi, they could only sit down and drink tea and chat.
It was not until noon that the house became quiet. After dinner, Huo Beixi and Hua Xiali went back to her room for a nap. Huo Beixi had good living habits. Almost everyone in the village was playing cards for entertainment, so it would have been fine if he didn't join in, but he actually went back to his room to take a nap.
Seeing the large water jar and pickle jar in Hua Xiali's room, Huo Beixi asked curiously, "Why do you put so many things in the room? What's in them?"
As he was about to open the lid of the large water tank, Hua Xiali quickly reached out and put her arm around his waist, smiling and saying, "Honey, I'm sleepy. Let's take a nap."
Huo Beixi's back teeth were almost broken, and he said forbearingly, "Don't tease me, we are in your house now, there are too many people, it's not easy to operate."
Hua Xiali pulled Huo Beixi to the bed with a playful smile, and then the two of them lay down to take a nap. Hua Xiali turned his back to Huo Beixi, and Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali in his arms.
The big water tank and the pickle jar were filled with spiritual spring water, which she drank and used, and she could never use it up. It was winter now and she couldn't farm. Otherwise, she could use it as fertilizer for her own rice fields, and she could also catch fish. But the time was not right yet, so she could only leave it there for now.
As for helping others, forget it. She hasn't solved her own family's problems yet, so why would she help insignificant people? She'll wait until her family's problems are solved.
After both of them fell asleep, the room was quiet. The two of them slept on their sides, one in front of the other, and looked very affectionate.
Of course, in reality, the two of them are indeed very loving.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second aunt and the younger aunt went back to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. They both went to the fourth uncle's house first, then to the third uncle's house next door to Hua Xiali, and finally to Hua Xiali's house.
The two aunts both contributed some money when Hua Tiefeng got into trouble. Besides, Zhang Jingxia had not offended Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi at that time, so Hua Xiali did not make trouble first. She decided to take it one step at a time. If Zhang Jingxia behaved the same way as last time, then don't blame her for being rude.
But Zhang Jingxia didn't come today. She must be having a romantic relationship outside, so how could she come to their house to wish them a happy new year?
The two aunts contributed less money, so Hua's mother took out the account book and paid back the money from the two families first. Zhang Yongfeng used to work in a brick factory, earning about eighty to one hundred and twenty yuan a month, so it was enough to say that the money was Zhang Yongfeng's salary.
As for the fact that my family sells braised food, I won’t tell anyone about it, so that others won’t follow suit and affect their ability to make money.
Once they have settled their family affairs, it won't matter to them what others do, but now they don't want their business to be taken away by others. Let the two families sign and seal the debt, and the debt will be paid off.
The two aunts brought their children to Hua Tiefeng's room to greet him, and Hua Xiali followed them in. She stood beside them with her arms folded, looking at Hua Tiefeng leisurely.
If Hua Tiefeng dares to say a single word, he will be kept in the yard from now on and will not be allowed to enter the room again.
Hua Tiefeng was probably afraid of Hua Xiali, so he didn't say anything. He just nodded or hummed. He didn't say anything else. Hua Xiali must have been corrupted by Huo Beixi. He didn't dare to mess with her anymore, otherwise he would most likely die in her hands.
It is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. This is indeed true. It has only been a short time since she married Huo Beixi, but she no longer recognizes him as her father.
If Hua Xiali knew what Hua Tiefeng was thinking, she would probably be so angry that she would strangle him to death. These daughters did a better job than the sons and did everything to the letter.
They no longer coax him with soft voices like before. Why is that? Doesn't he have any idea about it?
When they tried to coax him, did he listen? Did he not abuse them maliciously for hours? Did he ever stop listening to them?
It's the same whether you coax her or not, so why bother to control your emotions and coax her? He demands so strictly from them, if he has the ability, he can also demand it from the mistress, if he has the ability, he should not come back in the first place and let the mistress take care of him. In the final analysis, it's because he knows in his heart that the mistress will not treat him as well as the original wife.
Good people are often bullied. His original wife and daughter were kind-hearted, so he came back to bully them. If he had been a little more arrogant to the mistress at the beginning, and treated her with the same attitude as he treated them, the mistress would never have been with him for more than ten years.
This shows what?
This shows that Hua Tiefeng dotes on his mistress endlessly, and even his original wife, Hua's mother, does not enjoy such treatment.
After the second aunt and the younger aunt came out of the room and went to the fourth uncle's house for lunch, Hua Xiali slammed Hua Tiefeng's door with a bang to express his inner dissatisfaction.
Especially the second aunt, what did she say just now? She actually whispered to Hua Tiefeng, telling Hua's mother what he wanted to eat, and asked her to buy and cook for him, etc. Doesn't she know that their family has no money? She only knew to ask their family to buy things. If she loves her brother so much, then bring the things over!
It's too hypocritical to just talk about it!
Anyway, Hua Xiali and the others just let Hua Tiefeng eat and drink normally, and take care of him normally so as not to let him starve to death. If he really couldn't stand it, he would take the initiative to ask them to send him to Xiao San's place. Anyway, they would no longer take care of him like before.
What's the point of them being so harsh on themselves just to take care of him?
It made him more energetic to torment them and more mindful to think about others.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Xiali's family went to his grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings. Although his grandparents have long passed away, he would go to visit their old house with his uncles every year.
Hua Xiali recalled that in his previous life, he rented the house behind his grandparents' house, renovated it, and let Hua Tiefeng live there in his old age.
