Chapter 206: A Little Less

Every time Hua Xiali went to see Hua Tiefeng, she dressed herself up ugly. Xie Jinglin didn't have a girlfriend yet. Wang Liang even lied to her that he was divorced and came to her for money. Who knew what Xie Jinglin would do to her in order to get back the 50,000 yuan? Anyway, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Xie Jinglin is such an adult now. He can obviously find a job to support himself, or go back to his father's or mother's hometown. But he insists on staying here with Hua Tiefeng. I guess it's to get more benefits, right?

Anyway, Hua Xiali would never let him plot against her.

Hua Xiali didn't even say hello to Hua Tiefeng. He handed the daily necessities to the old man who took care of Hua Tiefeng and left. Being able to take care of her in her old age was her limit. He also wanted her to coax him and comfort him in a gentle voice like before, and forgave him quickly without saying a word after being insulted by him. This was impossible.

Anyway, all she can do is to take care of him in his old age without providing any emotional value. Since he likes his sons so much, let him be well taken care of by his two precious sons!

Some people just take advantage of others to get what they want. Hua Tiefeng has never scolded Xie Jinglin and Xie Shengbao until now, but when he was at home, he would scold the mother and daughter who worked hard to take care of him almost every day, and sometimes he would find fault with them several times a day.

Hua Qiuli was lucky enough to escape the disaster because he was studying at school.

Can't you see this? Hua Tiefeng never cared about the four of them, mother and daughter, and he didn't even regard them as human beings. After all, who could be so cruel as to insult his wife and daughter every day?

So what qualifications does he have to ask her to invest in him emotionally? If he can scold Xie Jinglin and Xie Shengbao as harshly as he scolded them, Hua Xiali might be able to provide him with some emotional value, otherwise, forget it.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, kill the year rooster.

Every household is killing chickens and ducks in preparation for the New Year. Now that Hua Xiali's family has two men, Zhang Yongfeng and Huo Beixi, these matters are naturally left to them to handle.

This is the custom here. On the 27th day of the 11th lunar month, all the poultry needed for the New Year are prepared so that they can be cooked directly when the time comes.

The two grown men quickly killed three chickens, three ducks and three geese, cleaned them up and put them into baskets.

Although the winter here is not very cold, it is still a bit cold at minus one or two degrees. After the two people finished handling the poultry, their hands were frozen red. Hua Xiali immediately brought them hot tea to warm their hands.

Hua Xiali handed out the New Year gifts that she had brought to them one by one. Each person received a big bag, and the contents were similar, except that the styles were different for men and women!

She bought the goods at a cheaper wholesale price. If they went out to buy them themselves, they would probably have to spend three times as much to buy the things Hua Xiali gave them.

Moreover, the streets are crowded at the end of the year and it is easy to encounter thieves. She has to go out to get the goods anyway, so it is not a big deal to just bring a truckload back. Why should she go out and suffer this?

Everyone did not immediately open the bags to check what Hua Xiali had given them. Instead, they returned their bags to their rooms and went downstairs to deal with things.

Hua Xiali also prepared a copy for Gao Shuaiquan and gave it to Hua's mother. She would just have to give it to Gao Shuaiquan when he arrived. Now everyone gets along like relatives, and Gao Shuaiquan also saved Hua Qiuli. To their family, Gao Shuaiquan is like one of their own.

After Huo Beixi came over and sat down, Hua Xiali grabbed his cold hand, squeezed some hand cream on the back of his hand, and whispered, "Your hands are very beautiful. You must protect them well and don't let them freeze."

Huo Beixi chuckled, "Since my wife likes it, I must protect my hands and not scratch her delicate skin."

Hua Xiali reached out and pushed him, saying coquettishly, "Be serious, okay? Can you not be so irrelevant in the circumstances..."

"So what?" Huo Beixi moved closer, staring into Hua Xiali's eyes, looking at him seriously. "Calculate for yourself, how long have you not been with me during this period at the end of the year?"

During these days at the end of the year, Hua Xiali goes out early and comes back late every day, sometimes he doesn't even come back at night, and he can't bear it.

Hua Xiali rolled her eyes at him, "What do you know? I told you to rest for a few more days. If you rest well, take care of your body and have enough energy, you can bring a better experience, right?"

"I, your husband, don't need to rest." Huo Beixi said proudly, and leaned towards Hua Xiali, which scared Hua Xiali so much that she quickly stepped back. They were just putting things away, not away from home. It would be so embarrassing if someone suddenly showed up and saw them!

When Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi returned, Hua's mother put a cleaned chicken, duck and goose in a basket and gave them to take back. In fact, all the poultry that Hua's mother wanted to sell were "bought" by Hua Xiali, and Hua Xiali had no shortage of them, but Hua's mother didn't know that, so Hua Xiali didn't refuse and took them happily.

After all, I have given Hua's mother a lot of things.

Family love is mutual, and one-sided giving can be very tiring. In her previous life, she gave one-sidedly to her two sons and never enjoyed their rewards.

Of course, parents cannot raise their children with the purpose of expecting their children to repay them, but they don't give anything in return. Instead, what's the point of getting married? Hua Xiali has to bear the cost, which makes Hua Xiali feel disappointed.

When they got home, Hua Xiali handed Huo Beixi a set of clothes that she had prepared for him and said, "Go try them on and see how they look."

"I have enough clothes to wear, you don't need to buy more for me. Just buy some more for yourself." Huo Beixi said.

"I got this when I was buying clothes wholesale. It's not expensive."

Huo Beixi took the clothes that Hua Xiali handed over and changed into them. There were only two of them at home, no outsiders. Besides, they only needed to change the outer layer of clothes, not take off all clothes. There was no need to go to the bathroom to change.

Huo Beixi has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a tall figure, and long, straight legs. The cool-toned clothes he wears highlight his dignified demeanor, just like the male protagonist in the TV dramas he watched in his previous life.

No, even those male protagonists would be inferior to Huo Beixi.

Because Huo Beixi's handsomeness is truly natural, without any makeup, and no techniques such as lighting and filters. Even his eyebrows have not been changed. At that time, no one would trim their eyebrows, especially men, whose sword-like eyebrows were sharp and deep. If Huo Beixi had not taken a step towards her first, she would not have dared to approach such a person, let alone have the opportunity to get in touch with him and get to know him.

"How is it?" Huo Beixi straightened his collar and stood straight in front of Hua Xiali.

Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi with sparkling eyes. He was truly a walking clothes rack. Any clothes looked very elegant on him. It was a pity that he didn't become a model.

Hua Xiali pinched his chin and looked at Huo Beixi seriously, "Not bad."
