Hua Lin watched Ye Yifan smile at Hua Kai, and saw the look in his eyes. She wanted nothing more than to tear Hua Kai apart. She said fiercely to Hua Kai, "Hua Kai, don't pretend to be innocent. Do you dare to swear to Captain Ye that what happened between me and Wang Shengli has nothing to do with you?"
Hua Kai laughed: "Why should I swear an oath?"
Hua Lin finally managed to glean some information and quickly said to Ye Yifan, "Captain Ye, you see, Hua Kai doesn't dare to swear, but she has done something wrong."
"I believe in the blooming of flowers," Ye Yifan said simply and affirmatively.
This felt like someone was cutting into Hua Lin's heart with scissors, leaving her feeling confused and in pain. She looked at Ye Yifan with resentment and asked, "Why? Why are you protecting her?"
Ye Yifan retorted, "Why should I tell you about our affairs? Who do you think you are?"
Hua Kai had to admit that Ye Yifan's words were not only awkward, but also quite venomous, which was very much in line with her own taste.
Hua Lin was furious when she heard Ye Yifan's words: "Why? Just because the flowers are pretty? Why is God so unfair?"
Hua Kai looked at Hua Lin and said, her smile fading, "Hua Lin, what is fairness? Is it fair that I've been bullied by you all this time? You know how you've treated me all these years. I just don't want to be bullied anymore. If you have nothing to do, hurry home and prepare your dowry. I will definitely come to give you my blessings on your wedding day."
The thing Hua Lin least wants to hear about is marriage. She didn't know what the outside world was like before, and she had never seen any city people. But this year, the village started building a bridge, and a lot of outsiders came. Of course, there was no shortage of young men, especially outstanding men like Ye Yifan. He was good-looking, rich, drove a car, and was a leader. Such temptations made Hua Lin even more unwilling to marry Wang Shengli. But now she had no choice but to marry Wang Shengli. This matter was a wound in her heart.
At this moment, she hated Hua Kai to death. If her plan had succeeded that day, Hua Kai would have been the one to marry Wang Shengli next month, not her.
Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she lunged at Hua Kai, shouting, "I'll fight you to the death!"
Just as Hua Kai was about to prepare for a fight, Ye Yifan grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side.
Hua Lin lunged too hard and had no foothold, so she stumbled and fell. Her hands scraped against the ground, the skin peeling off and leaving them bloody and mangled.
I knew Ye Yifan knew kung fu before the flowers bloomed, but I didn't expect his kung fu foundation to be so good. It seems he's not as simple as I thought.
Hua Lin got up, knowing she was no match for the two people opposite her, and her hand was in excruciating pain. She didn't know what to do, so she could only run home crying to find Zheng Shuzhen.
After watching Hua Lin leave, Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan and asked, "Do I owe you another favor?"
Ye Yifan said, "This doesn't count today. You won't lose out even if I don't make a move."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "You really know me well. Well, thank you for today."
Ye Yifan said, "No need to be polite, anyway you owe me quite a bit."
She didn't know why Ye Yifan always kept such a clear record of gratitude. He wasn't actually a cold-blooded person. What had he been through? This kind of personality must be related to his family of origin. Although she didn't like prying into other people's privacy, she was indeed curious about Ye Yifan.
Of course, she couldn't ask him directly about it. She said, "Anyway, I'll repay you double for the promise I owe you."
"It's getting late, I'm in a hurry to get back to the provincial capital, so I'll be leaving now," Ye Yifan said, glancing at his watch.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Hua Kai didn't even know why she blurted out a word of concern.
Ye Yifan nodded: "Mm." After saying that, he turned and left.
Hua Kai watched Ye Yifan's retreating figure. He said he was going back to the provincial capital. Could it be that his family was from the provincial capital?
Back home, Hua Kai tidied up her things and sat there thinking about some things in the original owner's diary. She wondered if the people and events from her past life would reappear after she came into this life and changed some of the original owner's life trajectory.
As he sat there lost in thought, Gu Lanyan came in with the newly made pants: "Kaikai, what are you thinking about? Try on the pants to see if they fit."
Hua Kai finally came to her senses: "Mom, I was just thinking about what else I need to bring to school." She took the pants and got on the kang (a heated brick bed) to put them on.
Gu Lanyan looked at Hua Kai wearing these pants and said, "These look good on you. Your Grandma Zhang and I were worried they would make your butt look bulky. Turn around, let me see your butt."
Hua Kai turned around and asked, "Mom, how was it?"
"It looks good. I'll take it over and attach the elastic waistband. The clothes are almost finished too. When you come over later, put them on and see if there's anything else that needs to be altered."
Hua Kai nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mom, I'll cook first, then you don't need to rush back to cook."
Gu Lanyan said, "Okay, then you can start cooking the rice, and order some eggplant and potatoes. I'll make the sauce when I get back. There are some leftover vegetables from yesterday, so I can just heat them up."
"Okay, Mom," Hua Kai said.
Gu Lanyan took the pants to the Zhang family's house in the east courtyard again.
Hua Kai got off the kang (heated brick bed) and went to cook.
After cooking and putting out the fire, Hua Kai washed her hands and went to the east courtyard.
The clothes were finished by then, but the zipper hadn't been attached yet. Grandma Zhang had Huakai try them on before attaching the zipper.
After Hua Kai put it on, Grandma Zhang kept saying how beautiful it looked, and said she would make one for her granddaughter in a few days.
Before long, Gu Lanyan and Grandma Zhang finished finishing the clothes and pants, and also sewed the schoolbag. Hua Kai put on the clothes and tried them on.
It's pretty much what I expected. Although the fabric and color are a little off, it's quite comfortable to wear. After all, I'm just starting school, so it's not appropriate to dress too flamboyantly, like with skirts, wide-leg pants, or trench coats. I'll wait and see what I wear later. This outfit is quite suitable for now; it's not tacky, but it has its own unique characteristics.
After thanking Grandma Zhang again, Hua Kai and Gu Lanyan took the clothes and went home.
When they got home, Hua Qingyang had also come home from school. Hua Kai asked him about his studies.
In the evening, my father and eldest brother returned, and the house became lively.
After dinner, they sat in the house and talked about Hua Kai going to school tomorrow. Hua Wanjiang insisted on going to see Hua Kai off, saying that he had regretted not accompanying Hua Kai to school last time for several days, and insisted on going this time.
Hua Kai thought there was no market tomorrow, so she decided to let her father deliver the goods, otherwise he would worry.
So the family has decided that Hua Wanjiang will deliver the flowers tomorrow.
Hua Kai had initially wondered if Zheng Shuzhen and Hua Lin would come looking for trouble that evening, but they didn't. It's likely that with Ye Yifan involved in this matter, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble easily.
That night, Hua Kai lay in bed, recalling a man who had left a deep impression on her in the original owner's diary.
In the dead of winter, the original owner huddled under an overpass in despair. A man in a dark green coat draped his white scarf around the original owner's neck, like a warm winter sun, giving the original owner hope.
The original owner fantasized that if there were an afterlife, she would definitely find such a warm husband to spend her life with.
Hua Kai knew that this clue wouldn't lead to the person, so she could only wish this kind-hearted person a peaceful and safe life.
I don't know what time it was, but Hua Kai finally drifted off to sleep.
