Chapter 17 You Are Not Welcome in Our Home

Zhang Yongfeng has no mother, only a father. After his father passed away a few years ago, he became an orphan. The cold and heartless faces of his relatives were deeply imprinted in his heart, and he will never be able to let go.

Now the Hua family is his home.

Hua Xiali smiled and patted Zhang Yongfeng on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, my sister is not that kind of person. If that really happens, you will be my brother forever, and we will not ignore you."

Hua Xiali knows Zhang Yongfeng's character better than anyone else. It can be said that Zhang Yongfeng is a rare good man in this world.

"By the way, Xia Li, the principal asked you when you will return to school to register. He wants you to pass the exam and become the top student in the school." Zhang Yongfeng said.

When Hua Xiali was in school, although he did not get full marks every time, he was always ranked first, which left a deep impression on the principal.

Even though she had dropped out of school three years ago, the principal still remembered her name and who she was.

Hua Xiali smiled embarrassedly, "The principal really flatters me. He actually wants me to get the top score. But I will think about it carefully. After all, my grades were pretty good when I was in school. I have to try to see if I can get into college!"

The high school they attended was an ordinary high school in the town, and it was also the only high school. Its college entrance examination scores and admission rates were not as good as those of the two key high schools in the county. Only a few students could be admitted to a first-class university every year. It was understandable that the principal wanted her to go back and strive for the top score.

Now it is April, and Hua Xiali wants to see how much money she can earn in a month. If she earns a lot, she can consider re-enrolling in high school at the end of August. She believes that the principal and teachers will give her a special welcome.

Hua Xiali went back to her room and counted the money she had. Huo Beixi lent her fifteen hundred yuan and she gave her eldest sister eight hundred yuan, so she had seven hundred yuan left. Adding the compensation from the Wang family today, she had a total of twelve hundred yuan. She kept two hundred yuan to prepare equipment and gave six yuan as bamboo shoot money to her fourth aunt. In other words, she still had nine hundred and ninety-four yuan of capital left, and the pressure was instantly relieved.

Through her own efforts, she will turn these nine hundred and ninety-four yuan into nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-four yuan, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-four yuan, or even more.

In the evening, Hua Xiali went to the yard to water the fruit tree seedlings that had been planted earlier. In order to ensure that the fruit tree seedlings could survive, he added a whole bowl of spiritual spring water into a bucket of water.

After watering the plants and returning from the backyard, I saw Hua Qiuli walking into the yard with his schoolbag on his back. Originally, their family also had a bicycle, but they sold it at a low price when they were in urgent need of money.

Fortunately, Hua Qiuli comes home once a week and can walk back or take a bicycle with a nearby classmate. It would be too inconvenient if she had to walk to and from school every day.

It's just a difficult time right now. Once she earns enough money, she can buy Hua Qiuli a new bicycle.

"Second sister." Hua Qiuli called Hua Xiali, then walked into the room carrying his schoolbag and some clothes.

The Hua family's conditions were pretty good before. Even though they were all girls, each child had their own room, and they didn't have to squeeze several children into one room like other families.

Hua Qiuli is now in her rebellious adolescence. Family changes have made her introverted, sensitive, and very quiet, but fortunately she did not grow up in the wrong direction. When she grows up, she lives the life of an ordinary person, but she is much better than Hua Xiali and Hua Chunli. Therefore, Hua Xiali does not intend to interfere in Hua Qiuli's affairs. She just uses the spiritual spring water to help Hua Qiuli regulate her body.

When everyone was having dinner together in the evening, Hua Qiuli asked curiously, "Mom, where is my eldest sister? Why isn't she at home?"

"Your elder sister has gone back to school." Hua's mother picked up a piece of fried chives and eggs for Hua Qiuli with her chopsticks. "The chickens at home have been laying eggs more diligently recently. There are many eggs at home. Eat more, don't save."

Hua Qiuli asked in confusion, "Where did the family get the money?"

"Your second sister borrowed it." said Hua's mother.

Hua Qiuli was stunned for a moment, then said to Hua Xiali, "Second sister, thank you."

Hua Xiali didn't expect her to thank him so suddenly. He was at a loss for words for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Study hard. I will pay for your university tuition in the future."

Lingquan water can beautify the skin, regulate the body, and enhance memory. Hua Qiuli has been drinking Lingquan water for a few years, so there should be no problem getting into an ordinary university, right?

If the three sisters can all get into college, then who will dare to laugh at their parents for not having a son, and who will dare to look down on their family?

Respect is not given by others, but earned by yourself.

When you are powerful enough, others will have nothing but respect and awe for you.

"Me?" Hua Qiuli waved his hands and smiled awkwardly, "I... I can't do it."

She didn't even know if she could get into high school, let alone college.

"Give it a try. As long as you can get into university, I will pay for your tuition and living expenses. If you fail, you will have nothing. Don't blame me for paying for my elder sister's tuition and not for yours. Don't blame me for being unfair to you. I have given you the opportunity, and it depends on whether you can seize it." Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows proudly.

Hua Qiuli lowered her head and said nothing. She knew her own level, and with still a year left, she really didn't know if she could pass the exam.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hua Xiali put down his bowl and chopsticks, went out to open the door, and saw that it was the village electrician apprentice Sun Ping standing outside the door. Hua Xiali frowned unhappily, "Sun Ping, what do you want to do by coming to our house?"

"I don't want to do anything." Sun Ping stretched out his hand and pushed Hua Xiali away. Like a slippery loach, he slipped in directly. Sun Ping put his hands behind his back like a boss and walked directly to the main hall where everyone was eating. Looking at the fried leek eggs and stir-fried choy sum on the table, he exclaimed, "Is this what we're going to eat?"

"What we eat at home has nothing to do with you." Hua Xiali hurried over and said unhappily, "Please get out. You are not welcome at home."

Most of the people in the village are nice, but there are a few who are not very friendly. Sun Ping is one of them. Ever since Hua's father got into trouble, he has come over every now and then to cut off their electricity, leaving their home in darkness at night.

He just learned a few tricks from the electrician, but he got carried away and started bullying others at will.

"Hua Xiali, look at how stingy you are. I'm just coming to your house to take a look, not to eat your meal. Why are you following me so closely?" Sun Ping turned and walked out, but suddenly there was an electrician's pliers in his hand, which he probably just took out of his pocket.

When Hua Xiali saw him like this, she knew that he was going to do something bad again, and then turned and went to the backyard. In her previous life, she didn't dare to offend anyone in her family and had always endured it, but now she would not do that anymore.
