Chapter 42: Your life is in your own hands

"Fourth uncle, don't tell others that I was the one who arranged this matter. Just say that I am just like you, and I rely on picking bamboo shoots to improve my family's life."

She didn't object to her fourth uncle and aunt bringing outsiders to make money together. After all, she also wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to stock up more bamboo shoots, and wait until the season when there were no bamboo shoots, then she could do the bamboo shoot business and no one would follow suit.

But she couldn't reveal it to anyone, and she couldn't let others know that she was the one who hired the factory manager. Otherwise, they would think that she made a lot of money and keep an eye on her. What should she do?
Fourth uncle nodded, "Don't worry, Fourth uncle will never say a word about you to anyone else. It was you who told us this way of making money. We are all very grateful to you, how can we affect you!"

While we were having dinner, there was a knock on the door. Fourth uncle got up and went to open the door, then led two elderly people in. "Xia Li, this is Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo from our village. You can just call them Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo."

Hua Xiali quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked to the yard, nodded slightly to the two elderly people, "Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, hello."

The two old men also nodded to Hua Xiali, and then started to deal with the bamboo shoots with the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle weighed them and then directly settled today's money with them.

After the two old people left, the fourth uncle returned to the dining table to eat. He didn't talk too much about Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo. There were so many people in the village, and the fourth uncle was not very familiar with them, nor did he know much about their family situation. He just wanted to help them because he saw that the old couple had a hard time!
The next morning, Hua Xiali had breakfast at her fourth uncle's house and left. From now on, she only needed to come over occasionally to pick the bamboo shoots and she didn't have to wait here all the time.

In the blink of an eye, it is May 6th, and today is Hua Qingmei's wedding day.

Early in the morning, Hua Xiali climbed onto the roof of his house, drinking spring water, basking in the sun, and looking at the road not far away.

Hua Qingmei's husband's family came to pick up the bride, and they had to come from the main road in front. Only after seeing Hua Qingmei being picked up could she feel at ease to let her family use the spiritual spring water.

In fact, in Guizhen City, weddings are held in the afternoon. Girls usually get married at four in the afternoon. They go to the man's house to worship and have dinner, and then are sent directly to the bridal chamber. However, Hua Qingmei's fiancé's family comes in the morning. It seems that the customs are different.

In her previous life, Hua Qingmei never came back after she got married. Hua Xiali really didn’t know where the man she was looking for was from, and had never seen him.

At no one knew what time, six cars and a truck appeared on the road. Hua Xiali was shocked when he saw them. Is Hua Qingmei's husband's family so well off?
They were able to accommodate six cars.

What kind of family can be so generous?

Hua Xiali stood up directly from the roof and followed the cars all the time until she heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the direction of Hua Qingmei's house. Only then did she know that they were here to pick up Hua Qingmei.

At nine o'clock, the sound of firecrackers was heard again from the direction of Hua Qingmei's house. Then the previous car drove out, and the last truck had a lot of dowry placed on it, and even had a red double happiness pattern pasted on the body of the truck, which looked very festive.

This spectacular scene reminded Hua Xiali of her misfortune in her previous life. She couldn't help crying out of grievance, but she was afraid that her parents would worry, so she didn't dare to cry freely. She could only bite her sleeves tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

She hated Wang Liang who schemed against her and used her. She hated Hua Qingmei who stole her spiritual spring space.

She hated herself even more for marrying Wang Liang and for having her Lingquan space snatched away by Hua Qingmei. If she had set her standards a little higher, how could she have been so unhappy all her life when Wang Liang didn't even have the qualifications to marry her?

Not knowing how much time had passed, Hua Xiali slowly raised her head and wiped away her tears. Her past life had passed, and this life was in her own hands. She wanted to live well and live happily.

Hua Xiali turned around and was about to climb down the ladder when he saw the tall figure standing by the public well not far away. Thinking that he must have seen everything, Hua Xiali's face suddenly turned red and he was very angry.

She wasn't crying because she felt bad for anyone, she was just crying to vent the grievances in her heart!

Whenever she encountered problems in her previous life, she always liked to go to Huo Beixi's tombstone and talk to him. But now, she has no one around her to talk to. If she doesn't vent, will she get hurt one day?
Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi deeply, then carefully came down from the ladder and moved the ladder back to the utility room. Now that Hua Qingmei was married, she could use the spiritual spring water to regulate her parents' bodies. Hua Qingmei had never come back after she got married in her previous life, and she certainly didn't want to return to the countryside in this life.

When Hua Qingmei came back after many years, even if she found that her parents had undergone tremendous changes, it could be said that it was the result of years of treatment. Moreover, in her previous life, Hua Qingmei did not come back when the village was demolished and everyone moved into the resettlement village, which meant that she had a good life in the city and did not want to go back to the countryside at all. Naturally, there was nothing to worry about.

After putting the ladder into the utility room, Hua Xiali went to the backyard again and added some spiritual spring water to the water tank for feeding poultry. After stirring it evenly, he added some water to the water basins of the poultry and pigs.

Then he watered the fruit trees and vegetable seedlings that had been planted earlier with water mixed with spiritual spring water, so that their family could eat fresh vegetables earlier.

In this season of lean season, there are really not many vegetables to eat.

While Hua's mother was cooking, Hua Xiali went to pour water for Hua's father, and then added a spoonful of spiritual spring water into it. She didn't dare to add too much. If her father sat up all of a sudden, wouldn't she be exposed?

Hua Xiali came into the room carrying a teacup, helped Hua's father up, let him lean on a thick pillow, and then fed him water one spoonful at a time with a spoon.

Take it slow, stick with it for a while, and then take her father to the city hospital for re-examination and treatment. This way, no matter how much improvement her father gets, it can be attributed to the doctor's superb medical skills. After all, her father has been treated for many years, and nothing will be found if an investigation is carried out.

At noon, when Hua Xiali and his mother were cooking in the kitchen, they suddenly heard a noise from the front yard. Hua Xiali hurriedly stood up from behind the stove, brushed off the grass clippings on his clothes, and went to the yard to check the situation. He saw Wang Liang, his eldest sister, his mother and a young woman standing in the yard.

As soon as he saw the woman's face, Hua Xiali recognized her immediately. Wasn't this Wang Liang's mistress in his previous life?
