"Hey! Explain yourself more clearly. What do you mean by 'merciful'?"
Hua Shi chased after him, his tone becoming more exasperated.
Hua Yu was blocked for a moment, and his brows furrowed instantly. His gaze drifted towards her, and he said, "Just pretend I never said anything."
Hua Shi also frowned.
Even without being told, she knew...
Thinking back to the times she had spoken up for Hua Yu and the others, she had been scolded and criticized by Li, and even endured the cold sarcasm from Hua Yu and the others...
I guess at first they all thought she had other motives and was deliberately trying to make trouble for them before speaking up for them. After that, she didn't do anything else, but Hua Yu thought she was... 'a kind-hearted person' - with bad intentions.
It's fake to say I'm speechless...
The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She had just come here and didn't know anything, nor did she know what kind of environment she was in...
At first, she thought that Li really loved her as her "granddaughter", and when she saw that Li treated her other siblings in a very bad attitude, she didn't know what the original owner had done, and naturally didn't know that the original owner had a bad relationship with her siblings, so she spontaneously advised Li a lot on their behalf.
Later, after being given a cold face and being accused by Li, he gradually realized that something was wrong with Li, and later realized what the original owner had done before. Now he realized... something was wrong with the entire Hua family.
Hua Shi held his forehead with his hand as he felt a headache.
It seems that she needs to change the way she interacts with Hua Yu and the others...
"Okay, let's go back."
Under Hua Yu's ambiguous gaze, Hua Shi's thoughts turned around in his mind, and then he spoke calmly.
…
When the two of them returned to the Hua family, Hua Xiao was cleaning up the dishes in the yard. Hua Li and his younger brother Hua Ying were squatting in the corner watching the ants crawling on the wall, but there was no sign of Li.
"Brother, you're back? I hope nothing happened to you!"
When Hua Xiao saw Hua Yu walking in from the courtyard gate, his eyes lit up. He put the dishes in his hands back on the table and trotted over to greet him.
Hua Yu shook her head, "It's okay."
While the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, she remembered Li's unhappy face at dinner just now, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Second brother, grandma was a little unhappy when she knew you guys were leaving, and she didn't even leave us dinner..."
Hua Xiao looked at the empty bowls and pots, and frowned.
Hua Yu patted her head and whispered, "I'm not hungry. It's okay if I don't eat."
Hua Xiao's frown didn't relax, and he sighed, but there was nothing he could do.
In the entire Hua family, whether or not to eat is decided by Grandma alone, and they have no say at all...
"Then go and get some rest, my feet are swelling up again..."
Hua Xiao looked down at his swollen ankle, pulled his sleeve, and spoke with concern.
Hua Yu nodded, not knowing what he was thinking about. He casually put the basket in the corner of the wall and pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Seeing his second brother walk away, Hua Xiao took the time to look up at Hua Shi beside him, curled his lips, looked unhappy, hummed softly, then turned and ran away.
The little girl thought with some gloating pleasure...
This time, grandma seemed to be really angry with Hua Shi. She had been ordering her to do all kinds of chores for several days in a row. Now she ran away secretly, and grandma didn't care about her anymore and didn't even leave any food for her.
but……
Thinking back to the dinner just now, grandma kept picking up food for her timid father and kept telling him to eat more so that he could remember his lessons.
Hua Xiao felt a little unhappy and her expression was a little lost.
Before, she had always thought that it was because of Hua Shi that Grandma was partial to her, that was why she treated them so badly. This time, Grandma was not nice to Hua Shi, but she would still treat them as she should...
Standing among the flowers in the crowded courtyard, he looked at the quiet main room, then walked into the kitchen with the basket on his arm.
The roe deer that the wolves brought to her as a gift was wrapped in large leaves by her and stuffed into the basket.
Now, while Mrs. Li is not around, I quickly get it and eat it. It’s important to fill my stomach.
The roe deer was very small, a minor. Two of its hind legs were bitten off, and its neck was also bitten off. Its body was limp, and she stuffed it into the basket in a few seconds, barely enough to fit it and cover it up.
If it were an adult roe deer, it would probably be larger than a sheep and wouldn't fit into the basket. Carrying it back would be too conspicuous...
Hua Xiao carried the clean dishes into the kitchen and saw Hua Shi standing in the kitchen. He wrinkled his nose and asked in a bad tone,
"What are you doing here? There's no food for you. Stop looking."
The little girl thought she came in looking for food, and looked at her with inexplicable pity in her eyes for several times, and kindly reminded her, "If you go out again at mealtimes in the future, I won't leave any food for you, humph!"
Watching the little girl running away, Hua Shicai brought the basket to the water tank nearby, moved the wooden basin out, and poured a large bucket of water into it...
Boil water, peel the skin with a knife, remove the internal organs, and clean...
She handled the matter skillfully, but at a somewhat hurried pace. From time to time, she looked up towards the main hall, paying attention to the movements around her, fearing that Li would suddenly appear.
If Li found out that she was giving her own special treatment... uh... she couldn't imagine what Li's expression would be...
The doors and windows of the kitchen were not closed, and soon the fragrance wafted out...
“Tick, tick…”
