Watching Wang Shengli leave, Hua Lin immediately knelt down in front of Hua Kai: "Hua Kai, I was wrong before. Please help me. I don't want a divorce. Even if I get a divorce, my brother won't let me go back to my parents' home. But I'll be beaten to death sooner or later if I stay in the Wang family. I really have no way out. I was wrong before. Please, be magnanimous and help me this once. I will repay you by being your servant in my next life."
Hua Kai took a deep breath: "I won't help you, because you hurt me too much in the past." She was referring to the hurt caused by her former master.
But then she added, "But I'll give you a suggestion. It's not hard to find work in the city these days. Why don't you get a divorce and go out and explore? Maybe it'll be a new way out."
After saying that, she helped Hua Zhongzhi up and said, "Grandpa, let's go. This is all I can do."
Hua Chongzhi also sighed, then said to Hua Lin, "Listen to Kai Kai." Then he followed Hua Kai and walked forward.
Ye Yifan didn't even look at Hua Lin; he was standing next to Hua Kai, his gaze fixed on her.
Hua Lin watched their retreating figures and knew that she would never be able to compare herself to Hua Kai in this lifetime; there was absolutely no possibility of comparison.
When they arrived at Hua Wanhai's house, Hua Wanhe went out and saw Hua Kai and Ye Yifan escorting Hua Zhongzhi back. He said coldly, "This Captain Ye is like our Hua family's son-in-law, but he doesn't even dare to give a formal title. Interesting."
Ye Yifan looked at Hua Wanhe and smiled: "I really am the Hua family's son-in-law, so Second Uncle doesn't need to be sarcastic anymore."
Hua Wanhe was stunned for a moment: "You really want to marry Hua Kai?"
Ye Yifan said, "I'll marry her when she reaches the legal age."
"Then, then, isn't Hua Kai in school now? Doesn't she have to go for several years?" Hua Wanhe thought that Hua Kai's relationship with Ye Yifan was not simple, but he also felt that Ye Yifan was just playing around and would not really marry Hua Kai.
“She’ll graduate eventually, I’ll just wait for her,” Ye Yifan said.
Hua Wanhe snorted and said, "That sounds nice. I hope to see you two get married." After saying that, he left without saying anything to Hua Chongzhi.
Hua Zhongzhi shook his head as he watched Hua Wanhe's retreating figure, and said to Ye Yifan, "Don't bother with him. He's an ingrate. I've raised him for nothing all these years. I might as well have fed him to a dog."
Since Hua Chongzhi fell ill, Hua Wanhe hadn't taken care of him at all. A few days ago, Hua Wanhai had something to do and asked Hua Wanhe to help take care of him for half a day. When Hua Chongzhi needed to urinate, Hua Wanhe was disgusted and wet his pants, making Hua Chongzhi stay in the urinal for half a day. Hua Chongzhi could finally see that Hua Wanhe was heartless.
As for Hua Wanhe's visit to Zheng Shuzhen again, Hua Zhongzhi knew that Zheng Shuzhen had some old items, including a few large silver dollars, and he was there for those things.
Zheng Shuzhen now understands that her second son is unreliable, but she also doesn't dare to trust her fourth son and his wife, so she has been keeping those old items hidden away.
Upon entering the house, Fourth Uncle was not home; he had gone to the fields. Fourth Aunt was home alone and had to take care of Zheng Shuzhen.
After greeting them and entering the house, I saw Zheng Shuzhen leaning against the wall with tears still in her eyes. I knew she had just been crying. It was obvious that Hua Wanhe's departure earlier was related to him.
Recently, Zheng Shuzhen has recovered enough to speak some coherent words and can turn over on her own. With someone's help, she can sit up, but she still can't get off the bed or go to the outhouse and needs someone to take care of her.
When Hua Kai and Ye Yifan arrived, Zheng Shuzhen suddenly burst into tears without saying a word. She was simply heartbroken. After being ill for so long, she had lost all her former spirit, and now all she could think about was her old age.
Hua Kai looked at Zheng Shuzhen, who was crying so miserably, and didn't understand for a moment. She then looked at Zhao Xiuzhi.
Zhao Xiuzhi said to the flowers, "Your second uncle came over just now and had a few words with your grandma. Since your grandma's health has deteriorated, she has been thinking a lot and often cries."
Hua Kai nodded: "You can see a person's true colors when they are going through tough times. Grandma should know what's going on now."
Hua Zhongzhi sighed and said, "What's the use of knowing the truth? It's too late. You'll only have yourself to blame. Fortunately, your family and your fourth uncle are all filial. If they were all like your second uncle, your grandmother and I would have committed suicide."
After saying that, he added, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk about it, the more upset we get. It's rare for Kai Kai and Xiao Fan to come and sit for a while. How's your business going these days? My old back isn't doing well either, otherwise I would definitely go and see them. That way, my life wouldn't have been in vain."
Ye Yifan said to Hua Zhongzhi, "Grandpa, you still need to go for a follow-up check-up in a few days, right? I'll drive to pick you up then and take you to the city for a check-up."
Hua Zhongzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't make the trip. I don't need to go to the city for a check-up. I can just get a check-up at the township hospital. I've recovered well enough."
Ye Yifan said, "Anyway, Kaikai and I will come back on weekends if we're free. It's no trouble at all."
Hua Kai also said, "Yes, Grandpa, it's no trouble at all."
Hua Zhongzhi nodded: "Alright, alright, Grandpa won't say anything more. There's no going back in this world, but I know what's going on in my heart."
As Zheng Shuzhen listened to their conversation, tears streamed down her face. She didn't know what to say; she just felt terrible. It wasn't just that her son was useless, but even more so that he was unfilial.
Hua Kai and the others stayed there for a while before going home.
When they got home, Hua Kai cooked dinner, and Ye Yifan tidied up the yard. Spring plowing was busy, so if they could do more, their parents would have an easier time.
After dinner, Hua Kai and Ye Yifan made their relationship public to their families. However, Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan were not surprised at all, because they probably already considered Ye Yifan as one of their own.
Furthermore, they had long sensed the difference between their two children. Although early romance was wrong, their child was different from others, and Ye Yifan was different as well. Therefore, the couple had long discussed that they would not interfere too much in their child's affairs. To be honest, they had always believed that without their child, they would not be where they are today. Their child's abilities and foresight far surpassed their own.
The next morning, I heard from the villagers that Hua Lin had run away from home. She hadn't divorced Wang Shengli, but she had left.
This was somewhat within Hua Kai's expectations. Hua Lin was leaving herself a way out. If going out to try and fail, she would probably come back and cause trouble for Wang Shengli. But what could she do? That was her own business. Whether she lived or died was none of her concern. Anyway, she had lost something very important in this life, so she had received her retribution.
The next day, Hua Qingyi returned, and Hua Kai and Ye Yifan went back to the city.
To Hua Kai's surprise, Ye Yifan bought her a house, the kind of two-story house with a small yard that Hua Kai had mentioned. He didn't buy her an apartment building because Hua Kai has her own house and yard. The house is a bit far from the school, but Hua Kai is taking her driver's license test, so it will be convenient to buy a car later.
