Xu Youfu snorted coldly, his childish voice carrying a hint of malice.
"You think you can trick me into doing any work? Give me some candy first!"
His voice carried a commanding tone, a tone Xu Cuihua hadn't heard in a long time.
Her smile faded, she glanced at Xu Youfu, and said nothing more.
When Xu Youfu saw that she was ignoring him, he spat at Xu Cuihua.
"Xu Cuihua, you little whore! How dare you lie to me?!"
Xu Cuihua paused, glanced around, and found that there was no one there.
She grabbed a stool and slapped it all over Xu Youfu.
Her father often scolded her like this, and Xu Youfu followed suit and always scolded her like this as well.
Whenever Xu Cuihua felt wronged or upset, her family would always say that she was just a child and didn't understand.
Xu Cuihua slammed a stool down on Xu Youfu, flattening him completely.
Xu Youfu fainted immediately.
Xu Cuihua put down the stool, walked up to Xu Youfu, and looked down at him.
In her past life, she was murdered by Xu Youfu and her own mother.
She hadn't even considered asking Xu Youfu for help with the chores; she was just thinking about how to knock him unconscious with a stool without attracting attention. She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly!
but……
There will be some trouble later.
Xu Cuihua's face was cold. She ran over to call Xu Li over.
"Mom, Mom! My little brother just fell off a tree!"
Xu Li was playing cards when she heard that her son had fallen from the tree, and she immediately sat up in fright.
"What? Is Youfu alright? Where is he?"
Xu Cuihua took Xu Li to the place where she had hit Xu Youfu. Xu Li saw that Xu Youfu's head was bleeding a lot, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Xu Cuihua reached out and helped her mother up.
Xu Li snapped out of her daze and immediately pointed at Xu Cuihua's nose and started cursing.
"What do you think of your younger brother? Didn't I tell you to take good care of him?"
Xu Cuihua made a wronged expression.
"Mom, didn't you tell me to clean the tables and chairs? I went to clean the tables and chairs, but I couldn't find Xu Youfu there."
Xu Li looked at Xu Youfu lying on the ground and reached out to check his breathing.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still breathing.
Immediately, he glared fiercely at Xu Cuihua.
"Hurry up and go call your dad over!"
Xu Cuihua guessed that her father had drunk too much, and she looked at Xu Li with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
"Mom, let's take my brother to the hospital right away! Dad must be drunk right now."
"Go to the hospital? Hospitals are so expensive...and I don't have any money on me!"
Xu Li was cursing and swearing, extremely anxious.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Cuihua's eyes. "Mom, didn't the Chen family give the bride price to Dad today? Dad originally wanted me to marry into the Chen family so he could save up for my brother's bride price. I'm going to go find Dad now and get the bride price back. Let's get my brother to the hospital first! My brother is the priority!"
Xu Li originally wanted to refuse, thinking that Xu Cuihua was after the bride price.
But Xu Youfu lay motionless on the ground, which terrified Xu Li.
If anything happens to our son, the person in the family will definitely kill him with a knife.
The people who had come with Xu Li also chimed in.
"Yes, Xiaoli, the child is the priority. Let's take the child to see a doctor first. What if something happens if we're late?"
"Cuihua's mom, her dad seems to have had too much to drink. It's no use calling him now, let's take the child to the hospital together."
"Yes, you see so much blood. My God, falling from such a height, I don't know if there are any broken bones."
"..."
As her neighbors chattered on and on, Xu Li grew increasingly anxious.
She immediately glared at Xu Cuihua in a fit of impatience and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Hurry up! Two people come and help lift the child up and take him to the hospital!"
Upon hearing her mother's agreement, Xu Cuihua immediately took off running towards her father.
Actually, Xu Cuihua was a little unsure and nervous.
Because she didn't know if her father would give her the money.
Xu Cuihua found her biological father, Xu Lao Er, who was her so-called biological parents in her previous life, and caused her to die tragically.
When she saw Xu Lao Er, the hatred in her eyes was even greater than the hatred she felt when she saw Xu Li and Xu Youfu.
Xu Cuihua paused for a moment, composed herself, and then walked up to Xu Lao Er.
Xu Lao Er was drunk and bragging to his cronies.
He saw Xu Cuihua approaching and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
"Look at my Cuihua, everyone! She's so obedient and sensible at such a young age! Who says raising a daughter is useless?"
If it were Xu Cuihua from her past life, she would definitely think that Xu Lao Er was praising her when she heard such words.
But having lived through a lifetime, she now understands that Xu Lao Er is merely creating a persona in front of outsiders.
Xu Cuihua lowered her head and whispered in Xu Lao Er's ear.
"Dad, my little brother fell from a tree and was taken to the hospital. It's serious. Mom doesn't have any money on her, so she asked me to come and ask you for some."
Xu Lao Er was still drunk when he realized that Xu Cuihua wanted money, so he immediately scolded her.
"What?"
"You want money? What money? I have no money!"
The people around him were also drunk, but they were startled by Xu Lao Er's shout.
Xu Cuihua was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall.
When people look at today's protagonist, they can see that she is busy and know that Xu Cuihua is sensible.
Many people began to speak up for Xu Cuihua.
"Second son, listen to the child and talk things out!"
"Yes, it sounds like something happened to your second child."
“Your Cuihua is such a sensible girl, and she doesn’t usually ask you for money. She only came to talk to you after your second son got into trouble. Why are you scolding your child?”
"..."
With his friends chattering all around, Xu Lao Er felt embarrassed and immediately loosened his wide belt, then reached into his pants.
People in rural areas are afraid of having their money stolen if they leave it at home, and also afraid of losing it if they carry it on their person. Therefore, the common practice is to keep their money sealed in their trouser pockets!
Today, as soon as Xu Lao Er received Xu Cuihua's betrothal gifts, he immediately stuffed the money into his pants.
He argued for a long time before finally taking out the money.
Xu Lao Er squinted at the money in his hand for a long time, then took out a one-yuan note and gave it to Xu Cuihua.
"Is that enough?"
Xu Cuihua shook her head, her tone innocent.
"Dad, I've never been to the hospital before, so I don't know if one yuan is enough."
Xu Lao Er's face darkened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
His friend patted Xu Lao Er on the shoulder and slowly began to speak.
"Xu Lao Er, why don't you just give him all of your daughter's dowry money, let him pay for the hospital first, and then give you back the rest?"
A strange emotion flashed in Xu Cuihua's eyes.
She wanted to do that, but Xu Lao Er was obsessed with money, so how could he possibly give her all of it?
As expected, Xu Lao Er immediately refused.
"No way! What would a girl do with so much money? Here, take five yuan first."
Even when Xu Lao Er was drunk, he could still remember his money clearly.
