Hua Li frowned: "Don't say that in the future... She has changed now, she is not a vicious woman anymore..."
As soon as Xie Wanyuan blurted out this sentence, Hua Li immediately retorted.
Even Xie Wanqing, who was leaning against a tree trunk on the opposite side, looked over with some surprise.
Xie Wanyuan's eyes widened dramatically: "What? Didn't you...?"
Hua Li's ears unconsciously turned red, and she said in a steady voice: "That was all in the past. She has changed now!"
"Huh?" Xie Wanyuan stared, then paused before saying, "That's right. People change. They were bad before, but maybe they have become good now."
Xie Wanqing, who was standing aside, had a strange look on his face.
Get better?
Is that why grandma let my second brother marry her?
Xie Wanqing thought about how he had overheard a conversation between his grandmother and his mother some time ago.
The subject of the conversation was the young wife that the second brother was going to marry after the year, Hua Li's eldest sister...
To be honest, when he heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong.
After all, Hua Li’s reputation in the village is... really bad.
How could his grandmother fall for a girl with a bad reputation? Isn't this what his grandmother always values the most?
He had come here with his brother Xie Wanyuan this time, and his main purpose was actually to test Hua Li's attitude. Unexpectedly, Hua Li, who had always disliked her eldest sister the most, had also changed her attitude...
"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys can chat slowly."
After Xie Wanqing knew the information he wanted, he left a message and turned away.
Hua Li looked at his back as he left, and then she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he was going to play with Third Brother Xie today, so it would be fine if he just left...
It’s not that he doesn’t like or reject Third Brother Xie, it’s simply that Third Brother Xie likes to cheat people and make trouble for others.
Hua Li had been bullied by him several times and was already scared of him, so she had a conditioned reflex when she saw Xie Wanqing.
He and Xie Wanyuan were of the same age, and Xie Wanqing was about five or six years older than them.
Although Xie Wanqing was five or six years older than the two of them, two years earlier, Xie Wanqing had really enjoyed hanging out with them. It wasn't a big deal, it was just a matter of having an extra playmate.
However, Xie Wanqing was a cunning fellow. He always took them to do something bad, and then made him and Xie Wanyuan take the blame. Taking the blame would be fine, but Xie Wanqing's tricks were always worse than the last...
Every time he took them to poke a hornet's nest, they got stung by the bees and he ate the honey himself; he asked them to pick fruits from other people's orchards, saying that they were wild and ownerless, but when they were happily climbing the trees and picking the fruits, they were caught by the owner of the orchard, who had already run away... and so on.
Adding up all these things, Hua Yu couldn't even count them on his ten fingers.
Moreover, he often heard Xie Wanyuan complain about his third brother, always using him as a shield. It was obvious that they always got into trouble together, but his third brother was never in trouble. When he returned home, he was beaten by his grandmother and his parents, and his buttocks were swollen, but his third brother was not in trouble at all. He was very cunning.
All in all, Hua Li didn't really want to play with the third brother of the Xie family. Especially after she grew up and knew that she was always being cheated, she became even more unhappy...
…
On the other side, in the Hua family courtyard, Hua Xiao came out after changing into new clothes. Hua Shi used a wooden comb to braid her hair into two braids, and used scissors to cut her bangs, and trimmed the rough ends of her hair. She combed her hair a little and changed into a pink dress. The little girl looked a lot prettier and more lively.
Just a moment later, a voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, as if calling Hua Xiao's name.
Hua Xiao was confused.
A little girl wearing red clothes, green shoes, pigtails and a rosy face ran in.
"Girl?" Hua Xiao asked hesitantly.
Niu'er nodded repeatedly, "It's me, Hua Xiao, let's go out and have fun. It's so lively now. I saw your grandma has gone to the ancestral hall. She will definitely not be able to take care of you today."
Hua Shi, who was in the main room, also heard the sound and looked over.
Girl? Was she the little granddaughter that the only family had paid for when she sold the Winter Solstice two or three months ago?
When Niu Er saw Hua Xiao wearing her new pink clothes, her brows furrowed. "Hua Xiao? Where did you get those new clothes? And you even got a haircut?"
Hua Xiao lowered her head and pinched the corner of her new dress uncomfortably. The dress was made of fine cotton, and it was the only half piece she had, in a tender pink color.
Hua Shi bought it specially and made it for her. Although she had to mend many of the stitches, Hua Xiao liked this dress very much, no matter the fabric or the color.
Hua Shi also gave her a small hairstyle. Although there was no mirror, Hua Xiao could clearly feel that she looked different.
So it’s no wonder that the girl would ask this...
Hua Xiao blushed a little: "What's wrong?"
The girl looked around, then looked down at her clothes, pouted and said unhappily, "Your clothes are prettier than mine, and I like your hair too. How about we switch clothes, okay?"
Hua Xiao subconsciously took a half step back when she heard this, her eyes fell on the clothes on the girl. The color was darker than hers, but she had seen her wearing the same clothes last year. They were old, while her own were new...
So, Hua Xiao shook her head and said, "Mine is new, I don't want to change it."
The girl looked down at her clothes. She had indeed been wearing them for almost two years. "Well, then we'll change clothes next year. How come you suddenly have new clothes to wear and a hairdo? Although it's better than before when it was old and smelly, your face and hands are not as white as mine..."
