Chapter 4: It's a Spiritual Spring
It can be said that the eldest sister and her husband chose to have a second child because they were afraid that after they died, no one would take care of their son with cerebral palsy. However, by doing so, they also caused another little girl to suffer misfortune in her life!
In his previous life, Hua Xiali would help this "niece" from time to time.
Hua Xiali wants his eldest sister to take the college entrance examination this year. If she passes, she will have to go to college for four years, so the matter of having children will naturally be postponed for a few years. By that time, the child born may not still have cerebral palsy.
Even if it is still that son, she can use the time gained to persuade her elder sister and brother-in-law to get checked and get their bodies into the healthiest condition, so that the child may not still have cerebral palsy.
As she was thinking, she fell asleep again without knowing when. She was woken up by the stench soon after. Hua Xiali was startled and thought she had defecated on the bed, but this smell was much stronger than that one. Finally, she smelled the stench on herself, and she was so scared that she jumped off the bed in a hurry.
After taking some clean clothes from the closet, I went to the bathroom. After putting down the wooden tub, I directly transferred out a basin of spring water, poured a bottle of hot water into it, and mixed it into warm water before taking a bath.
The temperature was quite low in the morning in April, so she didn't dare take a cold shower directly.
When Hua Xiali was bathing, the black water flowed directly downwards, and soon the entire basin of bath water was completely dyed black. Hua Xiali then realized that what he had obtained was not ordinary spring water, but the spiritual spring water described in the novel, right?
There were only two bottles of hot water at home. After using them up, Hua Xiali didn't wash herself clean, so she took cold showers the next few times. Finally, when the shower water was clean as if it had never been used, she wiped the water off her body, put on her clothes shiveringly, and hurried to the kitchen to boil hot water so that she could warm herself up.
Since this spring water is spiritual spring water, we must not let the family drink so much at once like she did, so as not to scare them. We can let everyone drink a little bit at a time and slowly regulate their bodies.
Her father has been paralyzed for three years. If he recovered overnight and was able to walk on his own, wouldn't this be telling Hua Qingmei clearly that she had discovered the spiritual spring and that she had the spiritual spring in her hands?
It is still uncertain whether Hua Qingmei was reborn or knew something, so she still had to be careful and take each step steadily and wait until Hua Qingmei got married.
Hearing the noise coming from the house, Hua Xiali knew that his family was starting to get up, so he quickly got up and ran back to the room, took the medicine patch and put it on his eyes.
Her eyes, which were badly injured and bruised yesterday, recovered to normal overnight, which would definitely arouse suspicion, so she put the medicine patch prescribed by the barefoot doctor directly on her eyes to block everyone's view.
"Xia Li, why did you get up so early?" Hua's mother walked into the kitchen and saw Hua Xia Li sitting behind the stove. She asked worriedly, "How are your eyes? Are they feeling better? Do you want to see a doctor again?"
"No need, Mom. I don't feel any pain anymore." Hua Xiali shook her head. If she went to see a doctor, wouldn't that expose her true identity?
So I can't go.
After the water in the pot boiled, Hua Xiali filled two thermos with hot water, brought them to the living room and placed them on the coffee table. Then he poured the remaining boiling water in the pot into everyone's teacups.
I quietly added a spoonful of spiritual spring water into my elder sister's teacup. If my elder sister really wants to take the college entrance examination this year, then I have to help her improve her memory now.
After all, she has been away from the classroom for three years, and self-study is definitely not as good as students with teachers in school. Now the most worrying thing is the tuition fee, which is 500 yuan, and miscellaneous fees are 300 yuan. The school is several kilometers away from home, and my elder sister must live in the school, and the accommodation fee will be dozens of yuan. There is also living expenses, and she also needs to buy stationery for exams, etc., so she needs to prepare about 1,000 yuan!
If I get admitted to university, I will need another 3,000 yuan by the end of August.
Those who are willing to lend money to their family have lent them a lot in the past three years, but now they can’t even ask for a loan anymore. As for those who are unwilling to lend money, even if you kneel down and kowtow, they will not agree to lend you money. Thinking of this, Hua Xiali sighed heavily.
"Xia Li, why are you sighing so early in the morning?" Hua's mother asked in confusion.
Hua Xiali shook her head and said, "Mom, Wang Liang and Ding Yong will definitely come to see me today. When the time comes, please chase them away. I don't want to have anything to do with them."
Mother Hua nodded, "I understand. Since you said you don't want to get married, we won't force you."
Soon, Hua Chunli and Zhang Yongfeng also got up. After Zhang Yongfeng finished washing up, he went to the room to help Hua's father wash up. After having breakfast at home, Zhang Yongfeng took lunch and set off to the brick factory.
The brick factory is not far away, about twenty minutes' walk away. In order to pull more trucks of bricks and earn more money, Zhang Yongfeng does not come back for lunch, but chooses to bring his own lunch.
Not to mention Hua Chunli, the daughter-in-law, who felt distressed, even Hua Xiali, the younger sister, felt distressed. If Zhang Yongfeng had not joined their Hua family, why would he have to suffer so much?
The Hua family is now like a fire pit, but Zhang Yongfeng jumped in without hesitation. This affection is touching.
Hearing the sound of a bicycle outside, Hua Xiali hurriedly put down the dishes in his hands, got up and ran to the backyard, then slammed the backyard door.
Hua's mother and Hua Chunli looked at each other, then got up and went out together. Wang Liang came over on his bicycle. Seeing Hua's mother, Wang Liang politely asked, "Auntie, is Xia Li up yet?"
Hua Xiali, who was standing behind the back door, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. This guy's acting skills were really good and he fooled all of them. If Hua Xiali hadn't suffered enough in his previous life, who could have seen that he was such a person?
"Wang Liang, do you really want to marry our Xia Li?" Hua's mother put away her usual peaceful look and her eyes became serious when she looked at Wang Liang.
Wang Liang didn't know what had happened to change Hua's mother's attitude towards him so much. He suddenly became more cautious and nodded, "Aunt, I really like Xia Li, and of course I really want to marry Xia Li."
When Hua's mother heard this, a bright smile spread across her face, as if she was completely relieved. "Okay, we have received your kindness. Now it depends on whether your Wang family is sincere."
When Wang Liang heard this, he smiled with relief, as if everything was a done deal.
Mother Hua continued, "You know our family's situation. We owe a lot of money for Xia Li's father's medical treatment, and future treatment will cost more money. If you really decide to marry our Xia Li, please go back and tell your parents. Our family wants a dowry of 50,000 yuan, and we also need a bicycle, a color TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and Xia Li's father's subsequent medical expenses, which your family will also pay for. After all, given our family's situation, it's not easy to meet someone who doesn't despise our family, so we naturally can't miss it."
