Hua Zhiping stood up and gently touched her head, feeling that his sister had suffered a lot these days. "You should keep those coupons for yourself. Neither your sister-in-law nor I like to eat these things."
If you feel unwell, just let us know. Where are Grandpa and Grandma?
Hua Xiangyun really didn't know, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have allowed her to stay outside for so long. "I didn't see them when I got up. Should I go to the courtyard and ask?"
“It’s nothing important,” Hua Zhiping said casually, carrying his things to the kitchen before coming out to say, “They’ve probably gone to the courtyard to chat with someone.”
Just then, Hua Guangzong walked in and immediately saw Hua Xiangyun. "Why did you come out, child? Are you still dizzy?"
This was the first time Hua Xiangyun had met the old man. Hua Guangzong was a rigid man. Although he cared about his granddaughter's health, he always adhered to etiquette and did not step into his granddaughter's room.
Under that loving and caring gaze, Hua Xiangyun felt a moment of unease; such loving eyes made her feel somewhat guilty.
Hua Guangzong, however, misunderstood that the child was still uncomfortable somewhere, and immediately glared at Hua Zhiping, who was standing next to him, and said, "How can you be such a brother? Can't you see that your sister still has an injury on her head? If she catches a chill, can her body withstand it?"
Seeing her elder brother suffer an undeserved misfortune, Hua Xiangyun quickly said, "Master, I came out on my own. I feel much better today. I'll show you if you don't believe me."
As she spoke, she walked around in front of her family a few times, saying, "Look, I'm really not dizzy anymore."
Seeing that she was about to continue walking, Li Lijuan quickly pulled her back and said, "You're just feeling better, so take it easy."
If you feel unwell anywhere, please tell us. Don't try to tough it out.
Hua Xiangyun knew that her sister-in-law was the gentlest of all. Even though she knew that the whole family doted on her, she didn't feel jealous or resentful, and instead joined in spoiling her along with everyone else.
There were many people in the courtyard waiting to see the joke, "..." What happened to the supposed conflict between the sisters-in-law?
“Your sister-in-law is right,” Hua Guangzong said with some dissatisfaction, looking at his granddaughter whom he hadn’t seen for several days. “She has lost a lot of weight in just a few days. She needs to be properly nourished.”
As for those families who dared to harm his granddaughter, don't even think about coming to apologize. This matter is over...
Hua Xiangyun had been eating special meals for several days in a row. If she kept eating like this, she would have used up all the food she had at home.
She covered her face, beaming with joy, "Have you really lost a little weight? I thought you were a bit chubby before, and I was worried your face would get bigger."
"Nonsense, you don't have a big face!" Hua Guangzong, who was usually taciturn, said sharply. "Our little darling is blessed, something others would beg for."
"Are those maids in the courtyard gossiping behind my back again? Don't listen to their nonsense; they're all so thin and frail, they don't look like they'll have a good life."
Hua Zhiping nodded and said, "That's right, we won't play with them anymore. They're all up to no good. They're just jealous of our little darling."
"I'll ask my brother to see if we can buy some meat later."
Li Lijuan already knew this family well, so she wouldn't say anything to spoil the mood. "If the supply station sends fish and meat, I'll find someone to exchange them."
In her opinion, her sister-in-law wouldn't stay at home for many more years, so there was no need for her to make enemies.
Besides, even if she were to exchange it for fish and meat, her family wouldn't be short of their share, so why not do her a favor and curry favor with the elders?
Hua Xiangyun dared not let them continue, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Grandpa, why haven't my parents come back yet after so long?"
“Your father is on an international mission this time, and he may not be able to return until before the Lunar New Year,” Hua Guangzong said, though his expression remained calm, he was inwardly worried.
His son, Hua Baoguo, is a train driver who used to travel regularly between several provinces, but this time he was temporarily transferred to run to a neighboring country.
The daughter-in-law, Xun Liangfen, a train attendant, voluntarily switched shifts with someone else.
Since it wasn't on a domestic route and it was an unfamiliar one, even if he was worried, he didn't dare to voice it.
Hua Xiangyun was not worried about her parents' safety; according to the original text, they would not have any problems with their safety.
It's a pity that my spiritual power isn't enough right now; otherwise, I could draw a few more talismans and have them carry them with them for even greater security.
As they were talking, Tian Guihua rushed in, carrying an old hen. "Trying to play tricks on me? Trying to delay what you promised? I went straight to their knitting factory, and now I have a solution."
As she spoke, she weighed the old hen a few times, saying, "This chicken will get thin if it's moved to a different place, so I'll stew it today to help Xiao Guai recover."
Seeing her beloved granddaughter standing in the yard, Tian Guihua immediately handed the chicken to her granddaughter-in-law, wiped her hands on her clothes, and then lovingly took Hua Xiangyun's hand, "Why did you come out? Are you still dizzy? The doctor at the clinic is completely useless. It's been so many days and you're still not better."
"But even if you hit your head, we shouldn't be careless. When your dad gets back, we'll have them take you to the city to get it checked out."
Hua Xiangyun has been enjoying spending time with the old lady these past few days, and she said, holding the old lady's arm, "Grandma, I'm all better now. Where did you catch this chicken?"
“Where else could it be?” Tian Guihua said smugly when talking about her achievements. “The He family is a bunch of scoundrels. Their son caused trouble and injured your head. They promised to compensate you, but they never showed up.”
Hmph, he thinks he can drag things out and let it all slip away? I won't tolerate that.
I went to block the factory gate early this morning. If they try to cheat me again, I'll go find their leaders.
They're shameless! They gave me the money, but then said they couldn't get the hen right away.
I'm not one to be trifled with. I immediately grabbed Mrs. He and took her to a farmer's house on the outskirts of town. I personally picked out the fattest and biggest chicken, and of course, the price was the highest.
You didn't see it, but that woman from the He family turned pale. She even tried to claim she didn't have enough money on her, but I immediately told her to borrow some from their factory. Only then did she grit her teeth and use various receipts and cash to pay for it.
At this point, Tian Guihua glanced at her eldest grandson, Hua Zhiping, who was touching his nose. "Grandma, Lijuan and I are going to flatten this chicken. What other dishes do you want to make?"
Tian Guihua said, "You and your wife should make your own decisions."
Anyway, she keeps everything in the kitchen without locking it, so her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law know what's going on and will consider what to do.
Just as Li Lijuan was about to ask a few more questions, Hua Zhiping pulled her away.
After everyone left, Tian Guihua smiled and said, "Your older brother was afraid I would scold him."
"That silly boy doesn't even realize he's standing up for his sister. I'm praising him too much to possibly scold him!"
Hua Xiangyun had some guesses in her mind, "Why did my brother vent his anger?"
