As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together.
She couldn't count on this cheap grandma and dad, so she had to rely on herself. The coldest days of this winter were approaching, and she was afraid that she would starve to death or freeze to death...
The minor conflicts that the Hua family faced were trivial matters compared to matters of life and death. She could only say that she had no time to discuss and care about them.
As for Hua Ciyuan's inexplicable hostility, she was too lazy to think about it...
"you!"
Hua Ciyuan was choked by her flat reaction, then he breathed a sigh of relief and chattered on,
"Okay, Hua Shi, I get it. Now you're acting like it's none of your business again, right? You even hurt your grandma on purpose a while ago, and now you're acting dumb. Don't think I don't know you. Even if you don't want me to get better, it's too late now!"
Hanashi: ...?
Do you want to look at what you are saying?
Did she give Hua Ciyuan some misconception at some point, making him think she was deliberately trying to harm him?
There's absolutely no need...
"Xiaoying, come here, let's go back to the house."
The sky around them was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Hua Shi did not want to continue talking to the confused Hua Ciyuan.
She turned around, called out to the little shadow behind her, and was about to go into the house.
The little kid who had been staring at him eagerly from behind, his eyes lit up when he heard Hua Shi calling his name, and he immediately trotted over.
Hua Shi freed up one hand and held his slightly cold little hand.
Hua Ciyuan, who was completely ignored, looked at the wooden door closing under his eyes and spat viciously.
He felt somewhat elated...
Over the past half month, Li has been very attentive to him, stuffing all kinds of delicious food into his house, and even built a small stove in his house to cook for him.
Li had always been eagerly hoping that he would study hard. Last time, he registered in the town and paid the registration fee of three taels of silver without any regret.
Li's change of attitude gave Hua Ciyuan, who had always been hesitant and timid, the confidence to swell up.
In addition, Li had been telling him recently that he would definitely pass the exam this time. The reputation of a scholar he had suddenly gained also made Hua Ciyuan feel a little inflated.
He even felt that he could win the provincial examination this time... He had been staying indoors lately, memorizing his lessons thoroughly and rarely going out...
Suddenly, Li's screams were heard in the house. Li fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, while Hua Shi was watching coldly.
His heart suddenly began to lift. He even started to think Hua Shi was plotting against him, believing that Hua Shi wanted to hurt Li Shi because she didn't want him to have a good life. That way, no one would treat him well anymore...
After all, everything he has now was taken from Hua Shi by Li and given to him.
Li's cold attitude towards him in the early years made him feel inferior and sensitive. Now these good things that Li gave him were hard-earned.
He also saw Li's indifferent attitude towards Hua Shi. Hua Shi was filled with resentment and attacked Li. Naturally, he was furious and wanted to teach Hua Shi a lesson...
It was just that he was clumsy-tongued, and because of the resentment and dissatisfaction he had been suppressing towards Hua Shi over the years, he couldn't help but say those words...
Now that Hua Shi was gone, Hua Ciyuan felt very proud, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel deflated. He couldn't let out a breath, and felt uncomfortable, neither up nor down.
He secretly bore a grudge in his heart.
He must pass the provincial examination in November. Then he would be able to rise to prominence! With fame and rewards, he would leave this poor, remote, and desolate place...
As for his few good-for-nothing children, he will have plenty of ways to make them suffer, especially when it comes to Hua Shi!
Hua Shi, who left on the other side, had no idea of the twists and turns in Hua Ciyuan's mind.
She pulled Huaying into her house. The little girl was very well behaved as he held her hand, showing no resistance at all.
The room was dark, and when the door was closed, it became even darker and I couldn't see anything.
Hua Shi pursed her lips, and relying on her familiar muscle memory, she swept around the house twice, holding Hua Ying's shadow, and stood at the door without moving.
The only remaining oil lamp in her room burned out yesterday. She had been using it sparingly for so long, but now there was not a drop left.
There was no lighting at the moment, so it was not convenient for her to pull Huaying into the room.
"elder sister……"
Huaying raised her hand and tugged at the corner of Huashi's clothes.
In the darkness, Hua Shi couldn't see his face clearly, but even without looking, she could guess...
The little guy must be blinking his big black eyes, tilting his head back, and looking at her eagerly.
"Shh, don't talk yet, we'll talk later."
Hua Shi let go of his hand and continued standing by the small wooden door of the room without moving.
There was silence in the pitch-black house for a while.
The little guy stood next to her obediently, without moving around, and was obedient, not making any more noise.
"…Bang……"
After a while, the sound of a door closing was faintly heard outside the house.
Hanashi exhaled.
Hua Ciyuan, who was standing outside the eaves, should have entered the house by now.
She was too lazy to argue with him and didn't want to get into a dispute with him, so she could only wait for him to return to his room before she came out of her house with Xiao Huaying.
Outside the eaves, it wasn't as dark as inside the house. At least with the faint moonlight, I could see some objects clearly...
"elder sister……"
Huaying, who had been letting her pull her, now stood back under the eaves in the yard, looking up at her obediently.
