Hua Xiali poured Hua Chunli another cup of spiritual spring water, handed it to Hua Chunli, then picked up the book that Hua Chunli had put down and started flipping through it. Although it had been many years, Hua Chunli had kept it very well. He would press it with a heavy object when he was not reading it every day, so the textbook still looked neat and tidy.
Seeing Hua Chunli finish drinking the spiritual spring water in the teacup, Hua Xiali took the empty teacup from her hand and put it on the bench next to her, then took out a thousand yuan and put it in Hua Chunli's hand, and said seriously, "Sister, I know that not being able to continue studying is your biggest regret, and it is also the biggest regret of your life. Now that Dad is gone, we don't have to take care of him, and we have a little more time. You can go back to school to sign up for the college entrance examination, and you don't have to worry about the child. I will take care of the baby at home, and mom and I will take care of it. It will only take a few months anyway, and you can come back on weekends to take over, so we don't need to take care of it for too long, so you don't have to worry, sister, you are still young, you should fight for yourself and this family. If you make a name for yourself, our whole family will benefit from it, right?"
"Xia Li..." Hua Chunli looked at Hua Xia Li in shock. She had to say that she was really moved. She didn't want to live like this for the rest of her life. If studying could really change her current situation, she would definitely give it a try.
"Sister, you don't have to worry about money. I will find a way to make money." Although she couldn't ask Jian Nan for money to support her family, she could take out a loan. It would be very easy for her, an experienced person, to pay back 60,000 yuan in five years.
At worst, she can just rewrite the story of Grandpa Fang and Grandma Mo. Now it's 1996 and the royalties are higher. Maybe she can get a higher royalty and then more money.
"Does your brother-in-law agree with you?" Hua Chunli asked worriedly.
"This is my own decision. Why should I need his consent? Even if he disagrees, what can he do? Can he still tie me back?" Hua Xiali said, "Sister, you can study and take the college entrance examination without worrying about anything. No matter what major you study, as long as you graduate and get your diploma, you don't have to worry about finding a job."
She knows so many ways to make money. If you introduce any one of them to her, she can make a fortune. What is there to worry about?
She just didn't want her elder sister to have any regrets!
Hua Xiali stuffed the money into Hua Chunli's pocket and said, "Sister, you are the one in our family who has the best chance of making it big. You must work hard and don't let yourself down!"
"Xia Li..." Hua Chunli looked at Hua Xia Li with tears in his eyes.
"Sister, come on, I believe you can do it. Pack your things now and go to the school to see the principal tomorrow morning! The principal is a person who values talents. He will definitely not refuse you if you sign up for the college entrance examination." Hua Xiali said.
Hua Chunli nodded, "Okay, then I'll give it a try. I will definitely study hard and try to get a good score in the exam. Our family can't continue to be so miserable."
Hua Xiali sighed inaudibly. The reason her family was in such a miserable state was because Hua Tiefeng had a mistress outside and gave all his money to her. Otherwise, she and her elder sister would not have dropped out of school and would have definitely been admitted to university early, and they would not have been able to get married and have children so early.
Hua's mother also knew that Hua Chunli was going back to school to take the college entrance examination. Although Hua Chunli was almost 30 years old, she did not say anything to discourage her. She thought it was all their fault as parents that their daughter dropped out of school when she was only one semester away from taking the college entrance examination. If she had not told them that Hua Tiefeng was coming back to recuperate, but had kept it a secret for a few months, Hua Chunli would probably have been a college student already. It was all her fault for making the wrong decision.
At that time, she felt like the sky was falling, so she went to the school to find Chunli and Xiali. If she could live her life again, she would handle it on her own for a while and would not tell them, thus wasting their lives.
Zhang Yongfeng came back from the brick factory at night, covered in dust. Hua Xiali felt distressed when she saw this. Her brother-in-law was only in his thirties, but he was exhausted to death in order to treat his child's illness. He was in the prime of his life, but his best life was gone.
It's different now, because she's back, she won't let such tragic and heroic things happen to her family again. Hua Xiali poured a glass of spiritual spring water for Zhang Yongfeng and said to him, "Brother-in-law, I asked my sister to go back to school tomorrow to sign up for the college entrance examination." Zhang Yongfeng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Chunli had very good grades when he was studying before, but he was delayed. It's good that he can go back to school now."
"Xia Li, I know you must have contributed a lot to this matter, and we have no way to repay you. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know." Zhang Yongfeng said.
He had no money or power, so he had no way to repay her, so he could only work for her.
Hua Xiali smiled and said, "You don't need to repay me. We are a family. As long as you are filial to my mother, treat my elder sister well, and treat the children well, that will be enough."
As long as someone takes good care of her mother, she will feel relieved, because she doesn't know if she can survive in a world without Huo Beixi. Even if she can, she doesn't know how long she can survive.
With a few reliable people at home, she won’t have to worry about her mother and her children anymore.
After dinner, everyone took turns to wash up and then went back to their rooms to rest. This was at Hua Xiali's house, not Jian Nan's, so the conditions were not right. Fortunately, there was a child there, so Hua Xiali put the child between himself and Jian Nan so that there would be no embarrassment.
She could treat Jian Nan as a friend and a family member, and could be nicer to him, but she couldn't treat him as a lover, nor could she give him what he wanted.
Because her heart has long been filled with Huo Beixi.
The next morning, Hua Xiali felt a wet sensation on her forehead while she was half asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Jian Nan who was kissing her forehead. She was startled and quickly dodged, "Jian Nan, what are you doing?"
"You're my wife, what's wrong with me kissing you?" Jian Nan said aggrievedly, "Forget kissing you, even doing other things is fine."
Jian Nan grabbed Hua Xiali and said, "Wife, why don't you come home with me? I will miss you if I don't see you for a week."
Hua Xiali pushed Jian Nan away and said, "No, this is still my home. Can't I just stay in my own home?"
"Okay, why not." Jian Nan stood up helplessly and tidied his clothes. "Wife, take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. Don't let me worry. I will come to pick you up when the time comes." (End of this chapter)
