Chapter 73 Malice

Huo Beixi gave her a gift, and when she saved Huo Beixi's life, it would be considered as repaying Huo Beixi.

After that, Hua Xiali fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. He had just woken up and was sweating all over. He was soaking wet and his clothes were sticking to his body. He felt very uncomfortable. Hua Xiali quickly took the thermos to the bathroom, filled it with warm water, and took a quick shower. He immediately felt refreshed.

Fortunately, this time we purchased some clothes wholesale so that my eldest sister could have new clothes to wear while she was in college. Otherwise, the whole family would have no clothes to change into.

After getting herself ready, Hua Xiali went out with her basket. She had to go to the river bank to continue looking for freshwater clams, otherwise they would all be dried up and become empty shells after a while, which would be a waste.

Now no one here is engaged in breeding, so she can save some money and products first, and then be the first person to try it.

When they came to the mud by the river, Hua Xiali squatted on the ground, moving slowly to search. There was still some water in the river, so there was no need to worry about the fish in the river, as they could still live for a while. But the fish in the mud on the shore would not be able to survive, as the mud was almost dried up.

And she was looking for the shore close to their village. There were also shores on the opposite side, but she could only take it one step at a time. After all, she didn't want more people to know about this.

Hua Xiali put the freshwater clams that he had picked out together. When there were so many, he stood up and looked around before putting the freshwater clams into the space.

There were so many freshwater clams that Hua Xiali was having so much fun looking for them that he didn't even notice it was getting dark. When he realized what was happening, he went back reluctantly.

Anyway, she is the only one who knows about it, and no one is competing with her for it, so she can just look for it slowly, there is no need to be so anxious. Besides, no one knows how long the river is from upstream to downstream, and no one knows how many freshwater clams there are. If she wants to pick them all, it is impossible, so she should pick up as much as she can, and not be greedy, and do what she can.

When they returned to Huo Beixi's home, her family members had already arrived. Zhang Yongfeng gave Hua Xiali the money he earned from making halogens today and the payment for the goods from everyone who came to pick up the goods. Hua Xiali accepted it. After all, he was now building a big house for his parents, and there were many other major areas to spend money!

When everyone was sitting together for dinner, Hua's mother asked curiously, "Xia Li, I saw so many river crabs in the yard, what are you doing with them?"

It turns out that this thing is called "Hewai" in the local dialect!

Hua Xiali smiled faintly, "It has no use, I just think it's fun."

If she said she wanted to see if there were any pearls inside, would they think she was fanciful?

If she told them to eat this, they might reject it, so she'd better wait until it's cooked and let them taste it, because maybe they won't like it!

After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Hua Xiali asked Huo Beixi, "Can I use the big water tank in your yard? I plan to keep the freshwater clams in clean water for a few days, and then break them after they have spit out all the mud and sand inside."

They were all fished out from the mud. There must be a lot of mud and sand in the freshwater clams. She would drop a few drops of spiritual spring water on them to make them spit out the mud and sand cleanly, so that she could eat them with peace of mind.

"It can be used." Huo Beixi nodded lightly.

Afterwards, Hua Xiali took the basket and went to the yard. He picked up a basket of freshwater clams and went to the well. He drew water and rinsed the clams clean.

"Let me do it!" Huo Beixi walked over, took the bucket from Hua Xiali's hand, and then took over Hua Xiali's job of washing the freshwater clams.

The two of them rinsed the freshwater clams clean, then put them into a large water vat and filled it with water. Hua Xiali secretly dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water into the vat, and then they just rested there for a few days.

In the next few days, Hua Xiali took advantage of the cool mornings and evenings to go to the river bay to pick freshwater clams. Gradually, the water in the middle of the river became shallower and shallower, and occasionally big fish could be seen creating circles of waves in the water. Hua Xiali could catch any fish she saw, and she didn't have to catch them. So, when she saw the fish swimming around in the water, she jumped into the water, walked to the middle, and caught the fish.

Because the puddle was getting smaller and smaller, the space for the fish to swim also became smaller and smaller, so the fish gathered together. After Hua Xiali got into the water, she could feel the swimming fish hitting her legs from time to time. She simply put her hands in the water, walked forward and pulled them forward, giving people the feeling of catching fish in the water.

Of course, all the fish she caught were caught by her.

She knew there were freshwater clams in the river, so she wore shoes when she went into the water for fear of getting her feet pricked. Whenever she stepped on a freshwater clam, she would just pick it up.

This place was upstream before, it was deeper and the fish were bigger. Although Hua Xiali didn't see the fish with her own eyes, she could feel that the fish she collected in the space were all big.

Although I don’t know what happened this year, it was indeed like this in my previous life. There was no rain for the entire year, and it was not until the summer of the following year that it started to rain heavily, with lightning and thunder, which was very scary.

However, most families have dug wells, so drinking water is not a problem. It’s just that the crops in the fields are not doing well because of the water shortage!

But this life is different. Their family has money, and there are many families who make money with them. With money, they can buy food, so they won’t be hungry. Other people’s lives are also better than in the previous life.

Yu Qingxin and his team are still investigating the fire at Hua Xiali's house in the middle of the night. They had previously found wooden sticks that started the fire and the smell of diesel in the backyard of Hua Xiali's house.

The man poured diesel all over the yard and at the base of the wall, then threw a burning stick directly into the yard from outside, ignited the diesel, and then spread the fire at the fastest speed.

They also found a series of relatively large footprints and took rubbings of them. Today they entered the village and searched every household for shoes and footprints. There must be the same shoe soles, but the size of the shoes and the strength of walking vary from person to person. As long as the shoes are not lost, they can find the person.

Then the arsonist was found out after a thorough search. It turned out to be Sun Ping, the one who always came to their house to cut off their home appliances because he knew a little bit about electrical work.

Hua Xiali had never imagined that this man was so vicious that he actually wanted to kill their entire family.

Sun Ping was later arrested by the public security bureau.

Later, Yu Qingxin and his friends came to tell Hua Xiali's family that Sun Ping had a crush on Hua Chunli, but his mother refused to give him a betrothal gift and would not let him marry Hua Chunli, saying that Hua Chunli was well-educated and wild, and was not a woman with whom he could live a peaceful life. If he really married Hua Chunli, he would have to wait for Hua Chunli to cheat on him in the future!

Later, Hua's father got into trouble. Sun Ping thought that under such circumstances, if he was still willing to accept Hua Chunli, his family would be grateful to him and would not ask for a dowry.
