Chapter 70 A Very Important Person
Hua Xiali was lying between Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli, staring with his big eyes in the darkness, but his mind was very confused. Could it be that the person who set the fire tonight was the one who stole Hua Chunli's admission letter before?
Does she want to destroy Hua Chunli, so that there will no longer be such a person as Hua Chunli in this world, and thus completely replace Hua Chunli?
Hua Xiali went through every person in the village in her mind, but she couldn't find anyone who had the motive to steal Hua Chunli's admission letter, because no one in their village could go to college, because few people in their village graduated from high school. Most of them returned home after graduating from junior high school, and either worked on the farm at home or went to work in the city.
Moreover, university tuition is very expensive, four thousand per semester, which is eight thousand per year. No one in their village has such a high annual income, so who would be so desperate as to steal Hua Xia Li's admission letter?
If it was really an impostor, it was already mid-August, and school was not far away from starting. Why hadn't the person gone to get his ID yet? Wasn't he afraid that he would be too late?
So this person’s purpose should not be to impersonate someone else, but to not let Hua Chunli go to college, right?
What is the grudge between him and Hua Chunli? Not only does he not want her to go to college, but he also wants her life?
Is it possible that the person who stole the admission letter and committed the arson was not the same person?
Hua Xiali was lost in thought for a long time before he fell into a daze and woke up the next morning. Huo Beixi's house was quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Hua Xiali struggled to wake up from the door panel. Huo Beixi's house didn't have so many things for laying on the floor. He dismantled two wooden doors in his house to have enough things for laying on the floor. However, doors of this era are easy to install, so it's okay to dismantle them and use them.
Hua Xiali had just sat up when the door opened. A tall figure stood by the door with his back to the light. The blinding light made it impossible for her to see who the person was. She put her hand on her forehead and asked in confusion, "Huo Beixi?"
Shouldn't he be handling work at the village office so early in the morning?
Hua Xiali didn't get an answer, but instead got a hug.
Huo Beixi walked over quickly, then squatted down and held her heavily in his arms.
He had thought about doing this last night, but he never had the chance. God knows how scared he was when he first arrived at the village road last night and saw her house on fire. When he passed the brigade headquarters, he went in and called the public security bureau, and then rushed to her house.
It was only last night that he realized why he couldn't stay outside and why he had to come back in the dark in the middle of the night. It turned out that there was someone here who was extremely important to him.
The moment he fell into his strong embrace, Hua Xiali felt his heart tremble. Thinking of the whole family living in Huo Beixi's house, Hua Xiali pushed him embarrassedly, "What are you doing? Let me go quickly, it's not good for my family to see it."
"They're all out." Huo Beixi hugged Hua Xiali tightly and didn't let her push him away. "And when I came back just now, I had locked the gate. If they come back, they must knock on the door."
Hua Xiali punched Huo Beixi, "Do you mean you have been planning this for a long time, or you mean you are well prepared?"
"Both of them!" Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali's shoulders and looked at her seriously. "You said before that you would give me one day when you come back? Which day do you plan to set?"
"Let's wait until my sister reports for school!" The family had just gone through a disaster, and Hua Xiali didn't have the leisure to listen to what Huo Beixi had to say to her.
And she has important things to do.
"Okay. I'll wait." Huo Beixi was obviously pleased. He then let go of Hua Xiali, got up and left. After a while he came back with a brand new enamel basin and handed it to Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali stretched out her hand to take it. Unexpectedly, there was a toothbrush, toothpaste, a toothbrush cup and a towel inside.
After Hua Xiali washed up, Huo Beixi brought breakfast to the table. The breakfast was rice porridge and bread from a wheat flour stall. The combination of these two things was a great enjoyment.
After breakfast, Hua Xiali went back to her home. Her family members were all at her third uncle's house because her third uncle's house was right next door to theirs, which was more convenient.
"Xia Li, are we still going to make Halal?" Zhang Yongfeng asked.
"Do it, why not? Our family needs money right now, so why not do it? Go call Sanbengzi and ask him to pick you up to the farmers' market." Hua Xiali rolled her eyes and walked directly to the end of their row of houses, because that was where the homestead of the three sisters was.
Hua Xiali found the foreman of the construction team and asked them to move all the remaining building materials to her parents' place and give priority to building the house where her parents lived. Anyway, their money was calculated on a daily basis, and building one more house would also bring in extra income.
Because her house had been mostly built and the building materials had been used up, the remaining materials could only be used to build the foundation for her parents' house, so Hua Xiali gave her third uncle another sum of money and asked him to help buy building materials. Anyway, she would pay her third uncle according to the daily wage of a laborer, so her third uncle had no objection.
My third aunt now helps make salted food for their family and earns 100 to 200 yuan a month. The couple’s income in the countryside is not lower than that of people in the city.
Hua Xiali went to the brigade headquarters to find Huo Beixi and asked him to buy the land between their backyard wall and the public well. In fact, Hua Xiali also wanted the well so that it would be more convenient to use water in the backyard, but he was afraid that the villagers would cause trouble.
Because her father was paralyzed in bed, except for a few families who had a good relationship with their family and did not bully them, the rest of the people wanted to step on their family openly or secretly. They even threw garbage into this public well in an exaggerated way. Over time, the well became a garbage dump, and the garbage dump grew larger and larger, with a foul smell. Their family, which was closest to the well, suffered greatly.
Hua Xiali bought this piece of land now because he wanted to fence it off so that no one could do anything against them in the future.
If the well is also fenced off, the villagers will definitely claim that the well is a public well and everyone has the right to draw water from it. What qualifications do they have to fence off the well?
So if Hua Xiali didn't want the well, the worst that could happen was that she could just dig a new well in the yard. She didn't lack the money for that.
Huo Beixi took other village cadres to measure the area of the land, marked it, and then issued a certificate to Hua Xiali. After Hua Xiali returned, he immediately told the foreman of the construction team about the matter and told him his needs. Now that they have purchased dozens of square meters of residential land, the house certainly cannot be built according to the previous format.
