Chapter 385 You're the One at Fault

Xiaodong quickly covered his mouth with his hands and shook his head. Hua Xiali let him go and said, "Go downstairs and play with everyone! Remember not to run around. If you get caught by traffickers, you'll never see your parents again."

"Mom, I get it. I won't run around." Xiaodong promised and went downstairs in a hurry.

When Hua Xiali was about to lie down again, she saw Jian Nan carrying something into the room. Hua Xiali didn't even look at him, she just lay down and covered herself with the quilt, but her nose kept running, so she had to come out to get some fresh air and blow her nose.

One morning, the trash can was almost full of snot tissues, and she felt like her nose was about to burst.

Jian Nan came over and squatted beside the bedside table. He was doing something, making some crisp noises, like the sound of a bag. After a while, he reached out and helped Hua Xiali up, picked up the medicine bowl on the bedside table, and said, "Drink the medicine."

It turned out that the crisp sound just now came from the medicine bag.

"No." Hua Xiali resisted, "I don't want you to be hypocritical here."

He bullied her and now he comes to take care of her. Does she need his care?

"Are you punishing yourself or me? If you want to punish me, you have to get your body back in shape first so that you have the strength to punish me." Jian Nan said.

Hua Xiali turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"I know you are angry, and I know you are blaming me, but you really have no reason to blame me. You can only blame yourself. I am your husband, and Xiaodong is already so old. Is it appropriate for you to ignore me for a year? Have I discussed this matter with you in a nice voice time and time again? When did you ever pay attention to me? I am your husband, and you cannot treat me like this. So I did nothing wrong in this matter. You are wrong. I don't know what you are upset about."

Jian Nan stretched out his arms and held Hua Xiali tightly in his arms, leaving her no room to struggle. He brought the bowl of medicine to her mouth, and seeing that she refused to open her mouth, he drank the medicine in one gulp, then moved over to cover her lips.

The bitter feeling kept flowing down the throat, and the throat had to cooperate in swallowing.

After feeding the medicine, Jian Nan wiped the corners of Hua Xiali's mouth and his own mouth with tissues, looked down at Hua Xiali and said, "If you don't want this to happen again, let's return to our normal lives."

Afterwards, Jian Nan put Hua Xiali down, covered her with a quilt, and tucked in the corners of the quilt. "Wife, you can rest at ease. I will take care of Xiao Liang and Xiao Le."

That's what cold medicine is like. You'll feel sleepy after taking it. Hua Xiali's eyelids started to droop after a while, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, two tears fell from the corners of my eyes.

Is there no next life for her and Huo Beixi?

Will she never meet Huo Beixi again?

Even if she met Huo Beixi, what qualifications did she have to approach him?

Her heart was torn apart by pain.

Although people don't visit relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they are still allowed to pay New Year's greetings. This is true in the countryside as well as in the city. Many people came to the Jian family's house to pay a visit, but Hua Xiali was not seen. Some people said that the daughters-in-law in the country are not presentable and don't even know to come out to entertain visitors.

Jian Nan just came down the stairs and saw the people rolling their eyes. He felt very uncomfortable. "My wife doesn't see guests because she has a cold. You want to catch a cold too, right? Do you want me to bring her snot tissue and give it to you? My wife is better than yours anyway. Whoever says anything bad about her again will not be allowed to come to our Jian family again."

Jian Nan carried the empty thermos to the kitchen, picked up another bottle of hot water and went upstairs.

Several people sitting on the sofa in the living room eating melon seeds looked at each other, feeling a little awkward. Some people looked down on him in their hearts, saying, "What's the point of being eaten by a country girl? Isn't it just that she looks pretty? Is there a shortage of pretty girls in this provincial capital?"

At noon, Jian Nan brought the meal to Hua Xiali. Although Hua Xiali felt a little better, his head still felt dizzy and not very clear.

Jian Nan helped Hua Xiali up, put his coat on her back, and fed her one spoonful at a time. Hua Xiali ate only a few bites and stopped eating. She really had no appetite at all. She even felt bitter in her mouth. Everything she ate tasted bitter.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jian Nan went to the train station to pick up Hua's mother and everyone else. The moment he saw his family, Hua Xiali knew that he could not continue to be depressed.

So Hua Xiali drank a lot of spiritual spring water again, but there was no effect. She still looked haggard and pale. Then she could only keep recalling her brief past with Huo Beixi. That brief happiness made her mood gradually improve, and her condition also gradually improved.

"Xia Li, where are you taking us? Do we have to go in these two days? Can we go next time?" Hua's mother had never expected that Hua Xia Li would be so incapable of taking care of himself that he caught a cold during the New Year's Day and couldn't eat this or that.

Hua Xiali nodded firmly, "We have to go in the next two days, tomorrow. Leave Hua Yun at home to play with Xiaodong, and we adults will go over."

Hua Xiali pulled Xiaodong over, let him sit on his lap, and said softly, "Xiaodong, can you play with your brother at home?"

"Okay!" Xiaodong agreed readily.

After a mental struggle, Hua Xiali finally looked at Jian Nan and asked, "Are you going? If you go, you have to borrow another car, otherwise one car is not enough. If you don't go, we will take the train by ourselves."

"I'll go." Jian Nan nodded.

At noon, the Jian family prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain the Hua family. Everyone sat around the big round table, clinking glasses, and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

Although Hua Tiefeng has passed away and now only Hua's mother is left, the Jian family has not looked down on Hua's mother.

The next morning, the two cars set off together. Hua Xiali and her mother rode in Jian Nan's car, while Hua Chunli, Zhang Yongfeng and Hua Qiuli rode in Jian Nan's borrowed car.

Xie Yongfang had been to the Hua Xia Li in her previous two lives, so she remembered the route clearly. She showed the way to Jian Nan, and another car followed behind.

Hua Xiali did not go directly to Xie Yongfang, but went to the unit where Hua Tiefeng worked first. He was led into the office of Hua Tiefeng's leader. Fortunately, the leader was still Song Linshan, who had worked here for so many years.

Hua Xiali asked his mother to take out the household registration booklet and marriage certificate and hand them to Song Linshan. Hua Xiali questioned him why others had work injury compensation but Hua Tiefeng did not. His accident happened during working hours, not in private.
