Back to the 1990s: Holding the spiritual spring and striving for a well-off life

Chapter 385 You're the One Wrong
Xiaodong quickly put his hand over his mouth, then shook his head repeatedly. Hua Xiali let him go and said, "Go downstairs and play with everyone! Remember not to run around. If you get caught by human traffickers, you'll never see your parents again."

"Mom, I get it. I won't run around." After Xiaodong promised, he went downstairs in a hurry.

When Hua Xiali was about to lie down again, she saw Jian Nan carrying something into the room. Hua Xiali didn't even look at him, she just lay down and covered herself with the quilt. However, her nose kept running, so she had to come out to get some fresh air and blow her nose.

One morning, the trash can was almost full of snot tissues, and she felt like her nose was about to be twisted off.

Jian Nan came over and squatted beside the bedside table. He was doing something and made some crisp noises, like the sound of a bag. After a while, he reached out and helped Hua Xiali up, picked up the medicine bowl on the bedside table, and said, "Drink the medicine."

It turned out that the crisp sound just now was made by the medicine bag.

"No." Hua Xiali resisted, "I don't want you to be so sympathetic here."

He bullied her and now he comes to take care of her. Does she need his care?

"Are you punishing yourself or me? If you want to punish me, you have to get better first so that you can have the strength to punish me." Jian Nan said.

Hua Xiali turned his head away and didn't look at him.

"I know you are angry, and I know you are blaming me, but you really have no reason to blame me. You can only blame yourself. I am your husband, and Xiaodong is already so old. Is it appropriate for you to ignore me for a year? Have I discussed this matter with you in a nice voice time and time again? When have you ever paid attention to me? I am your husband, and you can't treat me like this, so I did nothing wrong in this matter. You are wrong. I don't know what you are upset about."

Jian Nan stretched out his arms and held Hua Xiali tightly in his arms, leaving her no room to struggle. He brought the bowl of medicine to her mouth, and seeing that she refused to open her mouth, he drank the medicine in one gulp, then moved over and blocked her lips.

The bitter feeling flowed down the throat, and the throat had to cooperate in swallowing.

After feeding the medicine, Jian Nan wiped the corners of Hua Xiali's mouth and his own mouth with paper, looked down at Hua Xiali and said, "If you don't want this to happen again, let's return to our normal lives."

Afterwards, Jian Nan put Hua Xiali down, covered her with a quilt, and tucked in the corners of the quilt. "Wife, you can rest at ease. I will take care of Xiao Liang and Xiao Le."

That's what cold medicine does. You'll feel sleepy after taking it. Hua Xiali's eyelids started to droop after a while, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, two tears fell from the corners of my eyes.

Is there no next life for her and Huo Beixi?

Will she never meet Huo Beixi again?
Even if she met Huo Beixi, what qualifications did she have to approach him?
Her heart was torn apart by pain.

Although people don't visit relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they can still pay New Year's greetings. This is true in the countryside as well as in the city. Many people came to visit the Jian family, but Hua Xiali was not seen. Some people said that this country daughter-in-law is not presentable and doesn't even know to come out to entertain guests when they come to her house.

Jian Nan happened to be coming down the stairs. Seeing people rolling their eyes, he felt very uncomfortable. "My wife doesn't see guests because she has a cold. You want to catch a cold too, right? Do you want me to get the tissue she uses to blow her nose and stuff it into your stomachs? My wife is better than your wife in any way. Whoever says anything bad about her again will not be allowed to come to our Jian family again." Jian Nan took the empty thermos to the kitchen, picked up another bottle of hot water and went upstairs.

Several people sitting on the sofa in the living room eating melon seeds looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. Some people looked down on him in their hearts, saying, "How can you be so successful if you are being eaten by a country girl? Isn't it just that you are prettier? Is there a shortage of pretty girls in this provincial capital?"

At noon, Jian Nan brought the meal to Hua Xiali. Although Hua Xiali's condition had improved a little, he still felt dizzy and not very clear-headed.

Jian Nan helped Hua Xiali up, put his coat on her back, and fed her food spoon by spoon. Hua Xiali only took a few bites and stopped eating. She really had no appetite at all. She even felt bitter in her mouth. Everything she ate tasted bitter.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jian Nan went to the train station to pick up Hua's mother and everyone else. The moment he saw his family, Hua Xiali knew that he could not continue to be depressed.

So Hua Xiali drank a lot of spiritual spring water again, but there was no effect. She still looked haggard and pale. Then she could only keep recalling her brief past with Huo Beixi. The brief happiness made her mood gradually improve, and her condition also slowly improved.

"Xia Li, where are you taking us? Do we have to go in these two days? Can we go next time?" Hua's mother did not expect that Hua Xia Li was so unable to take care of himself that he caught a cold on New Year's Day and could not eat this or that.

Hua Xiali nodded firmly, "We have to go in the next two days, tomorrow. Leave Hua Yun at home to play with Xiao Dong, and we adults will go over."

Hua Xiali pulled Xiaodong over, let him sit on his lap, and said softly, "Xiaodong, you stay home and play with your brother, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiaodong agreed readily.

After a lot of mental struggle, Hua Xiali finally looked at Jian Nan and asked, "Are you going? If you go, you have to borrow another car, otherwise one car is not enough. If you don't go, we can take the train by ourselves."

"I'll go." Jian Nan nodded.

At noon, the Jian family prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain the Hua family. Everyone sat around the big round table, toasting each other and enjoying the meal.

Although Hua Tiefeng has passed away and only Hua's mother is left, the Jian family has not looked down on Hua's mother.

The next morning, the two cars set off together. Hua Xiali and his mother rode in Jian Nan's car, while Hua Chunli, Zhang Yongfeng and Hua Qiuli rode in Jian Nan's borrowed car.

Hua Xiali had been to Xie Yongfang's place in her previous two lives, so she remembered the route clearly. She showed the way to Jian Nan, and another car followed behind.

Hua Xiali did not go directly to Xie Yongfang, but went to the unit where Hua Tiefeng worked first. He was led into the office of Hua Tiefeng's leader. Fortunately, the leader was still the original Song Linshan, who had worked here for so many years.

Hua Xiali asked his mother to take out the household registration booklet and marriage certificate and hand them to Song Linshan, while Hua Xiali questioned him why others had work injury compensation but Hua Tiefeng did not, as the accident happened during working hours and not in private.
