Chapter 322 New Year Greetings
When Hua Ling arrived at the brigade headquarters, she heard what her mother had said, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The deputy secretary looked at Hua Ling and said, "Hua Ling, how do you want the village to handle this for you? Have a good talk with your husband? I think this is useless. He will make the same mistake again in the future. How about I just report him to the police for you and arrest him for a while. Then he will never dare to hit you again. What do you think?"
He doesn't dare to hit her anymore, but when he gets out, he will beat her to death and drag her along for the rest of her life. He will not divorce her and let her pursue happiness.
"No, no need. We can handle it ourselves. There's no need to trouble the villagers." Hua Ling said timidly, and then quickly turned around and left.
Because she was really afraid that the deputy branch secretary would help her report to the police, and then she would be dead.
Hua's mother came out of the brigade headquarters and looked at Hua Ling with cold eyes, "Hua Ling, our whole family has seen through your little tricks. They let me out because they don't want to bother with you. If you dare to do anything, do you think we will go find your man? The world is so big, but you don't want to go anywhere else but run to our house. Do you really think our family is easy to bully?"
After Hua's mother finished speaking, she snorted coldly and left.
She now has two capable sons-in-law, and Hua Ling can't get involved with either of them.
If you are really afraid of being beaten by a man, then go somewhere else. No matter how big the world is, can a man run away to find her? It is not good for a woman to divorce a man. If she runs away, her man will definitely find another one. Then she can come back and sue him for bigamy, and then divorce him. As a result, she has set her sights on someone else's husband. It seems that the punishment is still too light.
After Hua's mother left, Hua Ling stood there alone, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Was her expression really that obvious?
Everyone has noticed it, so do the villagers know about it too?
Will her man hear about it by then?
Hua's mother returned home and sat down to eat with everyone else. When everyone had left and only her family was left, Hua's mother said, "The deputy secretary said to help Hua Ling call the police. Hua Ling was so scared that she ran away. How dare she flirt with men?"
Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali's hand and whispered to her, "Wife, I won't let anyone hurt us."
"No one can hurt us, don't worry! Only we can hurt ourselves." Hua Xiali said.
Hua Xiali had no idea about Hua Ling's affairs, because when she married Wang Liang in that life, they had very few chances to meet each other. It was only when the house was demolished that Hua Ling came back for the money.
Hua Ling's man is not a good person, but not as exaggerated as Hua Ling said. He is indeed good at eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, but the fact that he beats people remains to be verified.
Because Hua Ling's man was fooling around outside and rarely came home, Hua Ling couldn't find him at all, and Hua Ling couldn't contact him. He didn't even come home for the New Year, and like Wang Liang, he had a woman outside. Hua Ling was reluctant to divorce him, and she just cried.
Later, her house was demolished, and she wanted to come back to take her head fee and share some of the demolition compensation. However, her younger brother Hua Rui was taken to gamble and lost everything. He even lost a lot of money. When Hua Ling's husband heard about the demolition, he also ran back. However, when he learned that Hua Rui lost so much money and had to borrow money from them, he just ran away. Then Hua Ling's parents asked Hua Ling for money every month. Every time Hua Ling got the money, her parents took it away to pay off her brother's gambling debts before she could even warm it up.
At that time, Hua Xiali's parents had passed away long ago, but Hua Chunli and Hua Xiali were still in their hometown. They looked for Hua Chunli and Hua Xiali and used all kinds of moral blackmail to ask them to pay money to help their cousin pay off his debts. Hua Xiali was doing odd jobs outside and they couldn't find her, so Hua Chunli was the one who was entangled more. They didn't care whether Hua Chunli's son with cerebral palsy needed treatment or whether Hua Chunli needed to raise two children. They just selfishly asked Hua Chunli for money.
Then Hua Xiali pretended to borrow Hua Chunli's money, but he was actually keeping it for her temporarily. Otherwise, Hua Ling's parents would not know how to disturb Hua Chunli!
Anyway, Hua Ling and her husband have never divorced in their lives, which shows that Hua Ling has never thought about divorce. Otherwise, if her attitude was more decisive, no one would dare to treat her like this.
Hua Xiali didn't know about Wang Liang's affairs for the first ten years. When Wang Liang came back with his mistress, she said nothing but sued them and reported to the police. She got the compensation and divorced without any attempt to retain the couple.
Hua Xiali originally thought that as a woman, she could help Hua Ling. But Hua Ling wanted to steal her husband. So forget it and let Hua Ling be dragged down again for the rest of her life!
Moreover, the deputy branch secretary said that he would help her report to the police. It was she herself who was unwilling to resolve the matter. So it is her own responsibility that her life is delayed. It has nothing to do with others.
The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when some married women return to their parents' homes. Hua's mother is no longer Hua Tiefeng's wife, and naturally she is no longer the sister-in-law of the second aunt and the youngest aunt. So the second aunt and her family went to the homes of the third and fourth uncles, but did not go to see Hua's mother. They must have been afraid that Hua's mother would ask her to borrow money again. After all, their house had just been burned down, and they would have to build a new house after the Chinese New Year.
Hua Xiali owed so much money to the bank and the brigade, so he would need money to do anything.
Her aunt's family came to pay New Year's greetings just like in previous years, but the child of her aunt's family was too young, younger than Hua Qiuli, otherwise she could have brought the child with her to grow up together.
The younger aunt is better than the second aunt, and she is willing to let the younger aunt's family live a better life.
But it will take a few more years, until her cousins have graduated and stopped studying.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Hua's mother returned to her parents' home, and we all went to my grandparents' house. My grandparents had passed away a long time ago, and my uncles went to check and repair the old house every year, so the old house has always stood tall, unlike other people's houses where the walls have collapsed and the house is overgrown with weeds.
There are many rocks on the mountain near my grandmother's house, and there is little land that can be cultivated, so Hua Xiali has no interest in the mountains here. If it were like in Baibao County, where she could cultivate the mountains and plant things, she would naturally rent this place without hesitation.
The whole village moved because life was too hard. Several uncles also built houses in different places. Moreover, many houses in the old village on the mountain were dilapidated because no one took care of it. They cannot be compared with the intact houses in Shitou Village.
Nowadays, people only come to the mountain near my grandmother's house during the Qingming Festival, the anniversary of the death of the elders, and at the end of the year, because they have to come to pay homage to their elders and ancestors.
At other times, people probably come to climb the mountain for fun.
Years later, Hua Xiali went to the brigade headquarters and bought the land behind Hua Mu's house next to the public well, because she didn't want it to become a garbage dump in the future.
