Chapter 29: She Made the Wrong Decision
Fourth uncle and fourth aunt did not say anything about Hua Xiali's behavior of staying for one night and then leaving. She brought them such a good way to make money, what else could they say? Naturally, she could come whenever she wanted.
Hua Xiali got off the car in front of the blacksmith's house, and then went in to check the progress of the equipment. It was only a little bit short of being completed today, so Hua Xiali bought two iron buckets and prepared to come back in the evening to take the equipment back.
She didn’t want to let the villagers know about her business plan for the time being. After all, not everyone wanted the best for their family.
Hua Xiali carried the iron bucket to a road far away from the house, turned her head to look around, and carefully transferred a set of pig offal into the iron bucket. She had bought a lot of seasonings before, and she wanted to make some braised food for her family to try. If everyone thought it was delicious, then she could consider adding a new product.
After all, everyone likes to eat different things, and more products will naturally attract more customers.
Hua Xiali carried the heavy iron bucket and pig offal back home. As soon as he entered the house, he quickly turned around and locked the gate. Then he carried the pig offal to the backyard and poured it into a wooden basin.
Hua's mother heard the sound and came over. Seeing so many pig offal in the wooden basin, she couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Why buy so much?"
Hua Xiali nodded. "It looks like a lot, but it's very watery. When it's done, only two-thirds should be left. Huo Beixi has helped our family a lot. I want to bring him a bowl when it's done!"
They not only lent me money but also contributed their efforts. There is really nothing I can say.
Although he has lived in Huazhuang for a year, his family is not familiar with him. Such a person is better than those old friends in the village who have been together for decades. The difference in character can be seen immediately.
She wasn't trying to curry favor with him, she just didn't want to disappoint a good person who was willing to help them. After all, there weren't many people willing to help their family.
Hua's mother agreed and said, "You are right. We should thank Secretary Huo. If he hadn't helped replace the wires, who knows what would have happened to our family in the future."
Afterwards, Hua's mother went to fetch water, and the mother and daughter started to wash the pig offal together. Pig offal was difficult to wash and could not be cleaned in a short time, so they could not eat it at noon today, and could only wait until the evening to make it. Moreover, if it was ready at noon, she would not dare to send it to Huo Beixi.
After all, the houses in the village are built very densely and not far apart. If the villagers saw her running to Huo Beixi's house, it would have a bad influence on them and might also affect Huo Beixi's work.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Xiali began to process the pig offal. She cut the offal into the right size for eating, and then started processing it.
Zhang Yongfeng returned home after dark. As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled the overbearing fragrance and went straight to the kitchen. "Mom, Xia Li, what delicious food are you making?"
"What I'm making today is braised pork offal." Hua Xiali looked back at Zhang Yongfeng, smiled faintly, and said, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and pack up. After dinner, accompany me to the blacksmith's house to get back the tools I made. I will start my money-making business in the next two days. I will try to see if I can make money. If I can, you will quit your job and work with me, so that we can see my elder sister every day." Even if Hua Xiali was reborn and knew that she could make money by doing anything, she didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, she had never done such a thing. She had been doing odd jobs all her life in her previous life and had never kept any job because she was raising two children alone and could not find a job that could cooperate with her time, so she did more odd jobs.
But she is a good cook and can make a lot of delicious food. She learned to cook whatever her two sons wanted to eat. Before the demolition, she didn't have much money, and her children's junior high and high school education was particularly expensive. She wanted to spend every penny carefully, and she couldn't bear to buy the food she wanted, so she had to cook it herself because she could save a lot of money.
If she didn't know how to do something, she would ask others for help and let others teach her. In this way, she learned to do a lot of things, but her efforts were not rewarded well!
Her two sons have Wang family blood flowing in their bodies and are especially like the Wang family. They are selfish and have no gratitude at all towards her, the mother who has worked hard to raise them. They even sent Wang Liang, who had an affair and remarried and has a new child, to her for her to take care of.
They have jobs and income, and they could obviously pool their money to rent a house and hire a nanny to take care of Wang Liang, or just send Wang Liang to a nursing home, but they chose to send Wang Liang to her.
As a mother, she felt sorry for her children and didn't make a fuss. But as sons, why didn't they understand and sympathize with their mother who had lived a miserable life?
Whenever she thought of her two sons, Hua Xiali felt extremely heartbroken. Perhaps when Wang Liang came back to divorce her, she should not have wanted them, but should have kept them in the Wang family. Only when they suffered enough in the Wang family would they know how good their mother was to them.
If the children were really left in the Wang family, the Wang family would at most treat them badly, but they would not dare to kill them, after all, they were also the Wang family's children.
Moreover, grandparents don’t like their grandchildren mostly because they don’t like their daughter-in-law, so they don’t like the children born by their daughter-in-law. No one really hates their own bloodline.
But if she passed away and only left two children in the Wang family, perhaps they would not hate children so much. After all, they still need their children's support when they are old!
Without the burden of children, she can concentrate on working and earning money. With money, she can help her children and give them a better life. She will have a higher status in their eyes.
Moreover, the one who takes care of the children will be hated by the children, and the one who does not take care of the children will be liked by the children more. Isn't Wang Liang like this? He has never given them a penny and has never supported them, but they prefer this father.
She could only blame herself for making the wrong decision, which led to the tragic ending of her miserable life. She couldn't blame anyone else.
There was a saying on the Internet in her previous life that was true: you should be selfish and put yourself first. In her previous life, she put her two children first and put them first in everything, which led to that situation.
In this life, if she had not married Wang Liang, she would not have had those two sons who made her feel disappointed.
If she cannot change the outcome of getting married and having children in this life, she will not neglect herself for the sake of her children as she did in her previous life, causing her children to hate her and letting others take advantage of her.
After the pig offal was braised, Hua Xiali left the kitchen to her mother and Zhang Yongfeng, while she walked towards the backyard carrying a large bowl of braised food.
