Hua Zhian didn't just stand there dumbly taking the beating; instead, he cried out in pain, hoping to gain everyone's sympathy, "It hurts, Grandma, please stop hitting me. I was really just doing a good deed."
I know that Wudao Lane is indeed a bit remote, and sometimes some hooligans hide there. It always feels a bit unbearable for a girl to walk through there..."
"I'll ask you to do good deeds because you're kind," Tian Guihua said, but she still hit her a little lighter, tapping her a few more times before stopping.
As for why the other family members didn't go up to stop her? That's ridiculous. Given Tian Guihua's fury, going up at that moment would only add fuel to the fire.
"I told you long ago that that girl has ulterior motives. Even if she's late, she can't possibly be late if she runs along the main road."
Besides, don't think I don't know the situation at schools these days. Even if she's late, what can the teacher do to her?
With so many examples and reports over the years, who hasn't lived cautiously and would want to cause trouble?
Hua Xiangyun: "Second brother, when did you become so familiar with Zhou Xiaolan? You're even calling her 'little sister' now?"
Hua Xiangyun didn't expect the plot to be so powerful. She had tried her best to stop it, but it seemed that the plot had to be pulled back.
If Zhou Xiaolan really wants to marry into the Hua family, then it's time for her to consider her family's feelings. Otherwise, if such a troublemaker comes in, the first person they'll deal with will definitely be her sister-in-law.
Next, they'll start making a ruckus and splitting up the family, turning a perfectly good family into a complete mess.
And then there's the health of my grandparents; if that storyline actually happens, they'll suffer a lot.
These are all things that Hua Xiangyun cannot tolerate. If Zhou Xiaolan marries Hua Zhian as the story goes, she will not hesitate to use some means to achieve her goals.
Tian Guihua slapped his buttock hard with the stick in her hand. "Oh, I forgot. You've been calling her 'Little Sister Zhou' all this time. This must be more than the first time you've met, right?"
Next time, will you just tell us directly that you're going to marry her?
"How could that be?" Hua Zhian quickly waved his hand in denial. "I really just helped out of consideration for my neighbors. Besides, it's inevitable that we'll run into each other when we come and go. If I always greet people with a smile, and I always have a dark face, people won't know how to treat me."
Hua Xiangyun looked at Hua Zhian with some disappointment and decided to add fuel to the fire, "Second brother, you've only met her a few times, and you're already calling her little sister. Does that mean she'll soon surpass me and become your sister?"
You know perfectly well how badly she hurt me before, yet you're already protecting her now.
If things continue as they are, will she become my sister-in-law? Will I have to live at her mercy?
Upon hearing this, even Hua Guangzong couldn't sit still.
They knew perfectly well what their second son's current market value was in the county town.
Since Jiang Yi publicly announced that he and Xiao Guai were dating, many more people have wanted to propose marriage to them.
Hua Zhian has a private room and doesn't have to squeeze in with his parents. He also has a formal job. These conditions are far superior to many people's, so naturally many people are tempted by him.
The Zhou family's previous schemes against Jiang Yi were all laid bare. Now that it's impossible to deal with Jiang Yi, turning their attention to scheming against that fool Hua Zhian is the best option.
It's normal to run into each other every day, but how long has it been? This silly boy has already started calling her Zhou Xiaomei and forgotten the conflict between the two families. They really have to be careful.
"You've only met a few times, and you're already so familiar?" Before the old man could speak, Tian Guihua pointed at Hua Zhian and scolded, "Is your head filled with mush?"
She schemed against your sister before, so her sudden approach to you must have an ulterior motive.
She's about to graduate from high school. Will the Zhou family find her a job?
She's already looking for someone to marry, and you're just a sucker for that.
"Let me tell you, if you really get involved with her, then you'd better move into the factory dormitory. We don't need such a vicious woman in our family."
"That's too serious. Didn't Zhou Xiaomei say that He Ping'an wronged her?"
Moreover, she didn't benefit from this incident either; not only did she gain a bad reputation, she also lost her best friend, her younger sister…
He Zhiping couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him hard in the shin, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? I think you've been brainwashed."
Regardless of whether this is true or not, and whether she orchestrated it, the fact remains that she and some of her associates stood by and watched someone die without offering any assistance.
Later, I asked the people who went out with us. They all wanted to help and ask for help, but Zhou Xiaolan told them not to move, saying that if something happened, our family would cause trouble for them.
How vicious is this heart? You must know, my sister was bleeding profusely at the time.
Hua Zhiping still feels lingering fear whenever he thinks about that scene.
Imagine what their family would be like now if a kind person hadn't happened to pass by.
"I..." Hua Zhian wanted to explain further, but found that everyone was looking at him with unusually cold eyes, so he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.
But this matter was far from over. Tian Guihua directly declared, "If I find out again that you are still seeing that girl from the Zhou family, I will ask your supervisor to take back your job."
Since it's no longer feasible to go back to the same rural area, it's not like we can't find another place.
Tian Guihua wouldn't have had the confidence to say such things before, but things are different now. Jiang Yi is now a leader in the educated youth office, so he will definitely be happy that someone is voluntarily going to the countryside, and it won't be difficult for him to help arrange things.
Hua Zhian, "This can't be that bad..."
He's only been working for a few days, and his family has already sent him to the countryside. What face will he have left in this area?
Hua Guangzong was somewhat disappointed. "If you continue to associate with the Zhou family, then get out of this house. We definitely won't interfere in your affairs anymore."
Hua Zhian felt a pang of panic. He just felt that Zhou Xiaolan wasn't as bad as her family said, but he wasn't so bad as to go against his entire family for her sake.
"I really just treat her like an ordinary neighbor. At worst, I'll just stop talking to her."
“This is too much of a hardship for you,” Tian Guihua said, squinting at him with scrutinizing eyes. “Are you thinking to yourself that we’re meddling in everything?”
"No," Hua Zhian dared not accept such a statement. "I didn't think this through. No matter how she smiles at me in the future, I will ignore her."
As for his family's claim that he was dating Zhou Xiaolan, that was even more impossible; he had never even considered it.
Hua Xiangyun knew that although they had stopped it this time and given Hua Zhian a warning, this was something they couldn't prevent.
If it's necessary for the plot, Hua Xiangyun wouldn't mind creating more obstacles for Zhou Xiaolan, and today is a perfect opportunity.
