Hua Kai and the others agreed and moved all the things Ye Yifan had brought to the west room, placing them on the boxes. The east room was too hot from the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), and the fruit would spoil easily.
Then Huakai took out all the things she and her older brother had bought, such as fabrics and yarn. The sweaters in her family were made of yarn that had been used for several years, and she had to unravel and re-knit them. This year, Huakai asked Gulanyan to knit some new sweaters for everyone.
Hua Wanjiang also asked about Hua Qingyi's time in the city.
Listening to Hua Qingyi's eloquent speech, Hua Wanjiang smiled from time to time. His son had changed and was becoming more and more successful.
Hua Qingyang listened attentively, saying that he would definitely work hard to get into a technical school and go to the city so that he could have a bright future.
The family enjoyed lunch together, listening to Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi talk about their experiences in the city, and they were all filled with hope for the future.
After finishing her meal, Hua Kai took some pineapples, apples, and a bag of mooncakes, and asked her older brother, Hua Qingyi, to accompany her to deliver them to her grandfather's house. She wanted to do it in broad daylight, in front of the villagers, so that everyone could see how filial her family was and that outsiders could see how well her family had done. This would help her to better distance herself from these people in the future and prevent the villagers from gossiping.
At this moment, Hua Wanhe's family was once again shrouded in gloom.
Hua Lin's wedding is less than half a month away. The more she thinks about the wedding, the more afraid she becomes, because it is not the husband and future she wants. Why is it that Hua is getting better and better, while she has fallen to this state?
So Hua Lin has been locking herself in her room and crying for the past few days, crying so hard that she can't even open her eyes, but she really can't think of any other way.
The last resort was to run away, but to be honest, she was scared. After all, she hadn't left the village, and if she really left, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to survive, and she had no money.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. All she could do was cry. She hated Hua Kai even more. Why was Hua Kai so lucky? She had parents who loved her and she even met a benefactor.
Huo Yanping felt sad hearing her daughter cry. She went into the room and patted Hua Lin's head, saying, "Don't cry. Women will eventually get married. When I married your father, I didn't even know what he was like. We've lived like this for so many years, and it's been pretty good."
These words made Hua Lin furious again: "You don't know what my dad is like, so there's still a chance he's not bad. Don't you know what kind of person Wang Shengli is? Are you really so heartless as to push me into a fire pit?"
Huo Yanping knew this too, but what could he do? "Linlin, there's nothing we can do about it. Things have already come to this, so you can only accept it. If you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck."
Hua Lin cried out to Huo Yanping, "Why does it have to be my bad luck? Why can't it be Hua Kai's bad luck? Why is everything good for her? Why didn't you give me a better life?"
Huo Yanping was also holding back her anger: "You've suppressed Huakai for over ten years, and you've enjoyed over ten years of good life. No one's life is always smooth sailing. You used to laugh at Huakai for having bad luck, so why are you blaming me now? If you were capable and studied well, would our family have stopped you from going to high school? If you could get close to Captain Ye, would your dad have refused to help you break off your marriage?"
Hua Lin was even angrier. She stood up on the kang (a heated brick bed): "I hate Hua Kai to death! That damned Hua Kai deserves to die a horrible death! I must kill her, otherwise I won't be at peace..."
Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi went to their fourth uncle Hua Wanhai's house, but the door was locked. The neighbors said they saw Zheng Shuzhen go to Hua Wanhe's house, so the two siblings went to Hua Wanhe's house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Hua Lin cursing Hua Kai inside the house. Hua Kai wasn't going to tolerate Hua Lin's behavior. She went straight into the house, jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and slapped Hua Lin twice across the face: "Hua Lin, I warned you, don't push your luck."
The speed was so fast that Hua Lin was stunned before she could react: "Flowers bloom."
Hua Kai clapped her hands: "It's me. Next time you scold me, do it behind my back, or I'll slap you every time I hear it."
Hua Lin finally came to her senses and rushed towards Hua Kai, shouting, "Hua Kai, I'm going to die with you! I'm going to kill you!"
Hua Kai pinned Hua Lin's hands down with one hand, then slapped her twice more: "You really deserve a beating. How many times have I told you not to fight me? You're no match for me. Do you just enjoy being tortured?"
At this moment, Huo Yanping picked up a broom and swung it at Huakai. The more she looked at Huakai, the angrier she became. Anyway, they were in their own home, and the two of them couldn't possibly beat Huakai, could they? She had to make sure Huakai got a scratch, otherwise she wouldn't be able to swallow this anger.
Hua Qingyi reacted quickly, dropping what he was holding and grabbing Huo Yanping: "Second Aunt, children fighting shouldn't involve elders. If you're going to get involved, don't blame me for being polite."
Huo Yanping had no chance of beating the young man, so she had to put down the broom.
Hua Kai delivered several more punches to Hua Lin's chest until Hua Lin begged for mercy, at which point she jumped off the kang (heated brick bed).
Then she went up to Huo Yanping and said, "Second Aunt, I advise you not to mess with me, lest you regret it later and find yourself lost."
At this moment, Zheng Shuzhen and Hua Wanhe in another room also heard something was wrong. Hua Lin had been crying loudly for the past two days, and they had gotten used to it. They hadn't paid any attention to the noise in this room until they realized something was wrong and ran over. They didn't expect Hua Kai to be there.
When Zheng Shuzhen came in, she saw her granddaughter lying on the kang with her hair disheveled and her face covered in red marks. She also had a ruthless plan in mind. She said to Hua Wanhe, "They've bullied us in our own home, and you're just going to stand by and watch?" Even though her eldest grandson wasn't home, with so many people, how could they not beat Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi?
Hua Wanhe understood his mother's meaning. He was heading towards Huakai, and he had been holding back his anger for too long. Today, he had to let it all out.
Hua Qingyi saw Hua Wanhe heading towards his sister, and he quickly stepped in front of Hua Kai to block him.
Hua Wanhe had no hesitation at this moment and threw a punch straight at Hua Qingyi's face.
Hua Kai pushed her older brother aside, then grabbed Hua Wanhe's wrist and twisted it downwards with all her might. There was a cracking sound, followed by Hua Wanhe's scream.
Then Hua Kai retaliated and punched Hua Wanhe in the left eye socket, causing Hua Wanhe to scream again.
Hua Kai didn't expect it to end so easily. He punched Hua Wanhe's other eye again: "I've always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and I repay them double. If you're good to me, I'll repay you twice over. If you have a grudge against me, I won't let you suffer a loss."
Looking at his younger sister, Hua Qingyi's admiration for her soared. This younger sister was simply a fairy descended from heaven; she was so amazing at everything.
Huo Yanping wanted to step forward, but seeing Hua Qingyi's gaze, she didn't dare to actually come over.
Hua Lin, sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), was also dumbfounded. How could she have imagined that her father couldn't beat Hua Kai? How could this be?
