Chapter 318 Hua Ling

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here. I'll serve you some chicken soup." Hua Qiuli came out of the room and said with a smile.

"No need, we can serve it ourselves." Huo Beixi took Hua Xiali to the kitchen, took a soup bowl from the cupboard, opened the lid of the casserole, and scooped the soup from it.

He put the chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken livers and chicken wings into the soup bowl, then scooped a few more spoonfuls of soup and brought it to Hua Xiali on the dining table.

Hua Xiali scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it. It tasted very delicious, but she didn't feel anything. It seemed that it was not the right time yet. In this case, she had to seize the time to drink more and eat more, otherwise she would not be able to eat these things for several months.

"Why don't you drink?" Seeing Huo Beixi standing next to him and watching, Hua Xiali said with a smile, "You're not going to save the chicken soup for us, are you? There's a whole casserole of chicken soup here, how can we finish it?"

"Take your time drinking. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help you." Huo Beixi touched Hua Xiali's hair and turned to the kitchen.

Hua Chunli said with a smile, "I didn't expect Huo Beixi to take such good care of you. It turns out that this is what an old man looks like when he falls in love."

She still remembered the day Hua Xiali married Wang Liang. The Wang family left and then Huo Beixi came. Before that, the two of them had no intersection. She didn't expect that after marriage, they would live such an enviable life.

"What do you mean by old man? He is only ten years older than me." Hua Xiali said helplessly, "I don't like people younger than me, nor do I like people of the same age. I just like this."

Young people or people of the same age are immature and ignorant. Being with such people will only make you feel annoyed.

And because it was Huo Beixi, she wouldn't care no matter how many years older Huo Beixi was than her, not to mention that it was only ten years. In her previous life, the age difference between husband and wife was thirty years. What did this mean to them?

"Your earrings are different from last time. Are they new?" Hua Chunli asked curiously.

Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes, Huo Beixi just bought it for me."

"Huo Beixi is so nice to you!" Hua Chunli said with a smile. Their wedding was so hasty that Hua Chunli had actually been quite worried. However, Huo Beixi had been very nice to Hua Xiali over the past year or so, so there was no need for him to worry anymore.

Zhang Yongfeng was also very good to Hua Chunli, but if it was presented to Huo Beixi, it would not be impressive enough. Zhang Yongfeng made a lot of money from running a salt shop, with a profit of tens of thousands a month, but Hua Chunli's jewelry was still the pearl jewelry given to her by Hua Xiali.

Hua Chunli also knows that people should not be compared or compete with each other, otherwise she will be angry to death, and Zhang Yongfeng is very good to her. She cannot compare with Hua Xiali, but she is many times better than others, so she should be content.

Hua Xiali didn't know what was going on in Hua Chunli's mind, otherwise he would definitely say, "Just tell me what you want. Others are not the worms in your stomach, how can they possibly guess what you are thinking?"

Or, if you just take Zhang Yongfeng to a gold shop or a bank and tell him what you want, will Zhang Yongfeng refuse to buy it?

In the evening, Zhang Yongfeng, Huo Beixi, their third uncle and their fourth uncle went to the cemetery to burn paper money for Grandpa Hua and Grandma. When they arrived at the cemetery, Huo Beixi couldn't help but look at the place where he was once buried. This was once his final resting place, but the appearance of Hua Xiali changed everything.

Otherwise, he would definitely continue to lie here, facing endless darkness, coldness, and humidity...

"Huo Beixi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Huo Beixi staring at one place in a daze, Zhang Yongfeng asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Zhang Yongfeng retracted his gaze and shook his head.

Arriving at the grave of Grandpa and Grandma Hua, Uncle San used a branch to draw a circle on the grass in front of the grave, then put paper money inside, lit it with a match, and muttered, "Children, grandparents, come and collect the money. May the children grow up healthy, get 100 points in the exams, and have a bright future..."

Huo Beixi stood at the back with an expressionless face, but a sneer in his heart. Hua Xiali had already told him how the Hua family's grandpa and grandma treated them. If he didn't want to give everyone a chance to point fingers at him, he would not have come at all.

Burning paper money for them feels just like burning paper money for one's enemies. If they are really enemies, then of course one doesn't have to come. But these are Hua Xiali's grandparents, so one really has to come.

However, Huo Beixi and Zhang Yongfeng did not kneel down and kowtow, but just stood and bowed three times, which was already very good.

Watching the smoke from the paper money floating up into the sky, Huo Beixi couldn't help but glance towards the location of his own "grave". He didn't know what kind of mood Hua Xiali was in every time she came to burn paper money for him.

Afterwards, everyone burned paper money for Grandpa Hua’s younger brother, as well as some people who were somewhat related to him, and then went home.

On the way back, they met the second son of Grandpa Hua's younger brother who came with his son and daughter. Although this son was the second child in the family, he got married earlier than Hua Tiefeng, so his two children were older than Hua Tiefeng's children. The daughter was two years older than Hua Chunli, and the son was one year older than Hua Chunli. Hua Chunli and her two sisters had to call them cousins.

They are older than Hua Chunli, so of course they are married. It's just that they found their other half in the countryside. After all, it is not easy for country people to find a partner in the city, unless they are particularly capable or can gain a foothold in the city.

I just don't know why Hua Chunli's cousin was not at her husband's house on New Year's Eve, but returned to her parents' house, and even went to the cemetery. In fact, in rural areas, women don't go to the cemetery. Hua's mother has never been to the cemetery.

Hua Xiali came here because her parents were buried here. If she didn't come, she wouldn't be able to pay homage to her parents. It was because she came to pay homage to her parents that she saw Huo Beixi's tombstone.

After Zhang Yongfeng and Huo Beixi left, Hua Ling looked back at Huo Beixi with a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "The man next to Zhang Yongfeng is Hua Xiali's husband, right?"

Zhang Yongfeng had been in the village for a long time, and Hua Ling had met him before, so she naturally knew him. However, she had not been back to the village for several years and had not seen Huo Beixi. She knew that Hua Xiali was married, but she had not been back, so she guessed whether the man next to Zhang Yongfeng was Hua Xiali's husband. It couldn't be that he was Hua Qiuli's man, after all, Hua Qiuli was still a student.

Thinking that Hua Chunli's man was better than hers, and now Hua Xiali's man seemed good in every way, Hua Ling felt as if her heart was being stabbed by needles.

Why did the man she married indulge in all kinds of eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, and even beat her when he came home drunk? Why did Hua Chunli and Hua Xiali marry so well?
