Chapter 51: Never Respected Hua Xiali

No one comes to her house for no reason. If someone who usually doesn't come to her house suddenly comes, there must be something going on, but she doesn't know what it is.

"It's like this. I've noticed that there are always people coming to disturb your Xia Li recently. I was thinking that if Xia Li had a boyfriend, then no one would bother her anymore. It just so happens that my relative has a boy who is a few years older than Xia Li. He's fair and tender, tall and strong, and very handsome. If Xia Li sees him, she will definitely like him very much. When do you think we should arrange for the two children to meet?" said the aunt.

When Hua Xiali heard this, she curled her lips in her heart. If this lady really knew such a good young man, why didn't she introduce him to her before?
Now that Hua Chunli had taken the college entrance examination, she introduced him to Hua Xiali. Wasn't it because she thought that if Hua Chunli was admitted to university, they would also benefit from it? By then, one of them would be admitted to university and the other would be engaged, which would be double happiness.

If Hua Chunli failed to get into university and could not benefit from their support, they would find an excuse that the two children were not suitable and there was no need to have any contact with them. It can be said that they did not have to make any effort at all.

It's a beautiful thought.

"Then how much dowry can his family give?" Hua's mother asked very realistically.

The aunt was stunned by Hua's mother's question, and then laughed, "If these two children can really get together, then people will definitely be willing to pay any amount of betrothal gifts!"

The matter has been settled, and you can marry the person home without paying any dowry.

"That won't work." Seeing that she didn't get what she wanted, Hua's mother shook her head. "How can just giving a little betrothal gift be enough? Our family's Tiefeng's medical treatment is a big expense. If he doesn't pay for Tiefeng's treatment, don't even think about marrying our family's Xia Li. Our family's Xia Li is a filial child. She said she would pay for her father's treatment alone. What is the family conditions of the child you mentioned? Can they afford Tiefeng's treatment? If they can, I'll agree to let them meet, otherwise forget it!"

Anyone wants to marry their Xia Li, it's really wishful thinking.

"Your Xia Li should be twenty years old now, right? If you don't find a husband for her, she will become an old maid. Aren't you afraid of becoming an enemy..." the aunt wanted to persuade her.

Hua's mother waved her hands impatiently, "It's better if no one wants her. Then she can stay at home and serve me and her father for the rest of her life. It's better for her to stay at home and serve us than to marry and serve her parents-in-law. Why should my girl serve other people's parents? Have other people's parents raised her? Have they given her any benefits?"

"Wenju, I was just talking. Look at you, why are you still angry?..."

Hua Xiali was in the room listening to those 'excellent' words her mother said and couldn't help but applaud her. The more excellent her mother's performance was, the better. This way, no one would dare to introduce her to a partner.

Otherwise, there will always be people who think that their family conditions are so poor that they should be grateful that someone can marry them, so what qualifications do they have to ask for a dowry?
Wang Liang, Ding Yong, and today's aunt, don't they just want to use the least amount of dowry to marry a lifelong nanny?

Just now, when her mother asked her aunt how much the betrothal gift was, her aunt didn't say anything. Maybe she herself felt that the betrothal gift was too little to say? Maybe this family gave less betrothal gift than Wang Liang's family, which means that they never respected Hua Xiali from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise they would not do such a thing.

Hua Chunli has just taken the college entrance examination, and someone wants to take advantage of her and introduce her to a date. After Hua Chunli receives the admission letter, who knows how many people will introduce her to a date. Hua Xiali really doesn't want to become a profitable "fat piece of meat" in the eyes of others, nor does she want to be targeted by others, but she has no good way to prevent such a thing from happening. After her aunt left for a while, Hua Xiali and Hua Chunli packed up and set off. Hua Xiali has already prepared the brine for making braised food. Hua's mother only needs to put the cleaned pig offal into the brine, and then slice it and pack it in boxes, and wait for the person in charge of selling braised food to come and take it away.

After arriving at the bank and explaining his purpose, the staff asked Hua Chunli to take out his ID card and then helped him process it.

"Xia Li, aren't you going to do it?" Hua Chunli asked in surprise when he saw that Hua Xia Li did not take any action.

"Let me do it for you first, and I'll do it later." Hua Xiali didn't bring any money when she went out, and she couldn't take the money out of the Lingquan space in front of Hua Chunli, otherwise she would be exposed.

While Hua Chunli was applying for a passbook, Hua Xiali was walking around the bank with her hands behind her back. She looked at the loan interest and other information written on the bank's bulletin board and had some thoughts in her mind.

Once Hua Chunli is confirmed to be admitted to university, there will definitely be many poor guys who want to take advantage of her, just like this aunt today. But if she is burdened with huge debts, no one will dare to target her anymore, right?

If you want to marry her, you have to share these debts with her. Men are particularly good at weighing the pros and cons. They will never consider a woman who has no value to them and is only a burden.

There is still some time before Hua Chunli's admission letter arrives, so she can plan carefully and there is no need to rush.

Hua Xiali also saw gold bars and gold bricks in the bank. At that time, the price of gold had not yet reached the sky-high price of later generations. At that time, gold was more than 50 yuan per gram, but she had no money to buy it. She decided to wait until she had money and reward herself with a gold bar every year, so that she could live well on her own in her old age.

After all, she was not sure whether she would have children in this life, nor did she know whether her children would be filial to her. But if she had money in her pocket, she would not have to worry about these things at all.

Hua Chunli opened a savings book and deposited all 4,000 yuan into it. She did not keep a single cent for herself because university usually starts in September and there are still three whole months left. She could safely earn money with Zhang Yongfeng or Hua Xiali, so she wouldn't have to use her own tuition and living expenses.

After the passbook was ready, Hua Xiali accompanied Hua Chunli to find Zhang Yongfeng, and then Hua Xiali set off for her fourth uncle's house. She would not go home with Hua Chunli in the afternoon.

A few days later, Hua Xiali chartered a truck from the town because she wanted to take Hua's father to the county hospital for examination and treatment. After the examination, she could increase the usage of spiritual spring water and let him sit up first, so that Hua's father could do some simple things.

They were exhausted from pushing the cart to the hospital in the town. Now it was summer, and if they pushed it to the county town, not only would they not be able to bear it, even Hua's father would suffer if he had to lie down. So they decided to just charter a car. They had money now anyway.
