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

Leng Yuye’s crisis should have been resolved. As for whether he would be retaliated against in the future, that was fate, and Hua Xiali couldn’t care less about so many things.

After coming out of the hospital, Hua Xiali bought some food from the stall nearby, then got in the car and left. It was still early, so she went straight to her fourth uncle's house to get things done first.

After all, she has only been back for three days. Today is already the second day, and she has to go back to the provincial capital tomorrow afternoon. Xiaoyu is just one month old. She is really distressed and uncomfortable leaving her one-month-old baby behind for three days.

"Xia Li, what did you say? You want to buy an empty house in our village that no one lives in?" Fourth uncle and aunt were very confused after hearing what Hua Xia Li said.

Now that people have money, don't they all go to the city to buy houses? Why would they think of buying houses in the mountains?

Of course my fourth uncle and aunt cannot understand it now, but when a company comes here to develop homestays and build coffee shops, and many people come to the mountains to play during holidays, they will understand.

Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes, I think this place has mountains and water, fresh air and pleasant scenery. It is a suitable place for retirement. We may come here to retire in the future! Wouldn't it be closer to my fourth uncle and aunt?"

"That's right. If you have really thought it through, I will take you to the brigade headquarters to ask." If they really wanted to come to the mountains to retire, Fourth Aunt would naturally be happy, because it would be easier for everyone to interact with each other in the future.

Fourth aunt brought Hua Xiali to the brigade headquarters of Shankou Village and told the village cadres that Hua Xiali wanted to buy an empty house. There were indeed several empty houses in the village.

In fact, every village has a few empty houses. The family has disappeared, or the young people have died first and only the elderly are left. Then the elderly die, and the house becomes the property of the village.

The village cadres took Hua Xiali to see several empty houses in Shankou Village. Hua Xiali was particularly fond of a house near the bamboo forest, which was Huo Beixi's old house. However, because no one had taken care of it for many years, the house looked very dilapidated, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, which were almost as tall as a person.

When their hometown was demolished, the family had no place to gather, which meant they had no roots. In order to give her sisters a place to gather in the future, Hua Xiali bought three empty houses and residential land in Shankou Village, and also bought some mountain land. Since they were going to live here in the future, they would definitely need a place to grow vegetables. Then, she accidentally bought Huo Beixi's six acres of wasteland.

Hua Xiali paid some money to her fourth uncle and asked him to find someone to help her clean up the land and plant vegetables on it. They would just be the vegetables that everyone eats. She would then arrange for someone to come and transport the vegetables back.

As for the house, Hua Xiali has no plans to move on it for the time being, because she hasn't even drawn the blueprints yet. Anyway, she will come over during the Chinese New Year, and then she will hand the blueprints to her fourth uncle, who will supervise the construction of the house.

It was already evening when Hua Xiali was dealing with these things at his fourth uncle's house, so he stayed there. When he went to the well to fetch water at night, he quietly added some spiritual spring water into the well, hoping to help his fourth uncle and aunt to recuperate.

Although the spiritual spring water cannot prolong people's lifespan and people will still die when they reach a certain age, it can at least alleviate physical pain.

The next morning, after having breakfast at his fourth uncle's house, Hua Xiali drove back to Huazhuang, got his dividend from Hua Qiuli and Hua Qingmei, and then went to inspect the work in the vegetable and sugarcane fields. He did not even eat at home and left in a hurry.

Xiaoyu is just one month old, and she really doesn’t want to leave her, so she wants to go back as early as possible.

When Hua Xiali got home, he heard Xiaoyu crying loudly. He was so distressed that he walked in quickly, hugged Xiaoyu, and went upstairs. Hua Xiali also submitted the story of Grandpa Fang and Grandma Mo. Because it was a new work, the price was 300 yuan per 1,000 words. Although this price was still too low compared to those big publishers, it was really a lot of money compared to ordinary people.

Because just writing a few thousand words a day can earn thousands of dollars.

Hua Xiali received a full million yuan in royalties for this book. After it was published in the newspaper, it caused an unprecedented sensation in the Rose Province. When the entire text was completed and published, Hua Xiali made another huge fortune.

Later, Hua Xiali wrote the story of her and Wang Liang in that life, about a mother who worked hard to raise two children and then gradually exposed the scams of her husband's family.

The third book is the story of Hua Tiefeng betraying his wife and children for decades.

These two books were written mainly to remind female comrades how to deal with and handle such scams.

The first book made the name "Hua Xia Li" famous, and the next two books further established Hua Xia Li's status in literary awards. These three books were later adapted into movies and TV series.

Hua Xiali, through his own efforts, made it onto the rich list of Rose Province, and ranked very high.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Hua Xiali did not become rich quietly by herself, she also gave back to the society.

She donates wherever there is a need.

We also arranged for people to go to poor areas to deliver rice, flour, grain and oil to improve people's lives.

If he met someone who was sick and had no money for treatment, Hua Xiali would quietly add some spiritual spring water into the seasoning, so that he could quietly help them regulate their body.

Hua Xiali's crayfish restaurant, snail restaurant... business has always been good. Even if someone else opened the same store outside, even if they were engaging in price wars, old customers would still come to her store. Hua Xiali was later awarded the title of 'Aquatic Xishi'.

Seeing that Hua Xiali made money by growing sugarcane, not only Huazhuang started to make money too, but the entire Qinglong Village and even the entire town started to grow sugarcane too. They all got sugarcane seeds from Hua Xiali, so the sugarcane everyone grew was delicious.

So Hua Xiali set up a sugarcane purchasing point in Qinglong Village. If anyone found it troublesome to sell sugarcane, they could bring the sugarcane to her and sell it, so that everyone wouldn't have to go through the trouble.

Hua Xiali bought three houses in his fourth uncle's village. Later, he hired a construction team to demolish the old houses and replaced them with three large villas worth two hundred thousand yuan. Even after decades, these villas will not look outdated.

There are three big villas, one for each of the three sisters. As for Hua's mother, she can live with any of the three sisters, or they can take turns living there. (End of this chapter)
