Hua Shi walked quickly towards the open door.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw Hua Li squatting on the ground and a little white dog curled up in the bamboo basket opposite her.
The little white dog looked into Hua Li's eyes, obviously very alert, but maybe it was because Hua Shi always scolded the black cat and the others before, not allowing them to shout and scream in the house.
Therefore, even though Hua Li blocked the little white dog in the corner, the little white dog was alert and panicked, but did not bark.
The sound of footsteps behind him made Hua Li immediately realize that Hua Shi had returned.
Sure enough, the next second, I heard Hua Shi's voice coming from not far behind me...
"Hua Li? What are you doing?"
At this moment, Hua Shi didn't know what expression to make.
She didn't expect Hua Li to sneak into her room while she was away...
Fortunately, the white fox and the black cat went out the back door to find food.
After hearing the voice, Hua Li hesitated for a long time before turning back to look at Hua Shi. His eyes were red and his tone was full of accusation.
"Why didn't you tell me that Xiaobai was still alive?!"
As soon as these resentful words were spoken, Hua Shi's face darkened.
She coldly questioned, "Why should I tell you?! Have you forgotten who irresponsibly brought the puppy back, yet didn't even have the ability to protect it? It was strangled to death by my mother. If I hadn't brought it back, raised it carefully, and saved it, it wouldn't be here now."
Her words of rebuke and questioning made Hua Li stop crying, "I, I'm not..."
Hua Shi said in a deep voice, not indulging his unrealistic ideas at all just because he was young:
"You weren't? From the moment you brought it back to the moment I nearly killed it, you have no right to ask me why I didn't tell you. Let me tell you, did you want me to continue to let you know it wasn't dead, so that you could find out and then kill it? Or did you want me to chase it out in the snow and let it freeze to death?"
Hua Li desperately shook her head, tears streaming down her face: "Wuwu... I'm not, I don't think like that, I'm just worried about Xiaobai..."
Hua Shi frowned and ignored his crying. "Alright, get out now. This is my room. You came in without my permission. I really spoil you."
Hua Li stood there frozen, crying and shaking her head, refusing to leave, "I don't want it!"
Hua Shi frowned deeply, feeling a pang of anger in her heart. She coldly scolded, "Hua Li! Have you had enough of this?"
Hua Li buried her head, hunched her shoulders, and kept crying.
This stiff scene did not last long. Hua Xiao, who was in the yard, vaguely heard Hua Li's crying and Hua Shi's angry voice, and ran over to check the situation.
I also happened to hear Hua Shi scolding Hua Li.
Although Hua Xiao was somewhat shocked that the little white dog was still alive, he also knew that Hua Li's stupid look had angered Hua Shi.
She hurried in and pulled Hua Li, who was as stubborn as a donkey, out, "Hua Li, come out with me!"
Hua Li cried, somewhat reluctantly. His intention was obvious. After knowing that the little white dog was still alive, he wanted to take the little white dog back to his house.
This is his little white...
Hua Li struggled, refusing to move, "I won't! I don't want to! I... Hua Xiao, let me go! I won't leave..."
But Hua Xiao ignored his crying and dragged him out no matter how he struggled.
"Stop it!"
Hua Xiao yelled at him.
“Wuwuwu…”
Hua Li's face was covered with tears.
When the flowers in the house saw this scene, they rubbed their foreheads with a headache.
She gathered her thoughts and took out from the wooden cabinet the brush and paper left by the original owner when she was learning to read and write. The ink stick had dried and hardened, so she added some water and ground it on the wooden table for a long time before the ink came out.
The rough paper had turned yellow and had a musty smell. It had been pressed at the bottom of the box for who knows how long. However, when one looked at the few old books pressed underneath, it was not difficult to tell that although the original owner had read books and practiced calligraphy before, he did not enjoy it.
Even when she first came here, she was forced by Li to read a few books in the house and practice calligraphy. She could clearly feel it...
When Hua Ciyuan had never passed the imperial examination, Li hoped that her son would become successful and even wanted to place this wish on Hua Shi. However, according to the ancient system, women were not allowed to become officials or scholars.
She had also heard Li complain about why she was not a boy. If she were a boy, the burden of fame, wealth and power that Hua Ciyuan was currently burdening would most likely fall on her.
Unfortunately, when the Xie family came to ask for marriage and Li had to make a choice, Li finally realized that all girls had to get married, and she made a quick decision...
Hua Shi quickly wrote down the recipe for candied dates in detail on a piece of paper. Her handwriting was quite neat. When she was in school, she participated in a calligraphy competition and practiced writing with a brush for several months, which now came in handy.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Just sign your name here and put your fingerprints on it."
After He Jiang took the recipe, he blew on the ink that had not yet dried, and held it carefully, fearing that the words would be blurred.
Hua Shi also signed the two contracts swiftly and pressed his fingerprints on them with the red clay that He Jiang brought.
There are two contracts, He Jiang will take one away and she will keep one for herself. I have to say, it is indeed very safe.
He Jiang handed over the twenty-liang silver note, then carefully folded the formula and contract and hid them in the inner pocket of his arms.
"Sister-in-law, I'll be leaving first."
