Chapter 272 What's it to them?
"You little rascal, I'm telling you a secret. As long as you don't tell your mother, how will she know what I said?"
Lin Cai's words were not only for Old Man Hua's ears, but also for the two sisters, Hua Ni and her brother.
Huani kept those words in mind. She glanced at Aunt Hua on the ground, then turned and went to the kitchen.
When she came out, she was carrying a bowl, the contents of which were still steaming. She handed the bowl to Old Man Hua.
Huaguo, who was standing nearby, saw Huani bring out a bowl of steaming food and assumed it was rice or something else to fill her stomach.
He quickly got up from the ground and rushed forward to try to snatch the bowl, but his body was already obese, and the clothes he was wearing made him look even more bloated.
The force of his charge nearly knocked Old Man Hua over, and also spilled the water that Hua Ni was carrying in her bowl.
Upon seeing that it was water spilled out, Huaguo immediately shouted, "Why is there water inside? Why is it filled with water? Can't you take out something to eat?"
Huani ignored his words and handed the bowl of hot water, which was still half full, to Old Man Hua.
Old Man Hua didn't reach out; he was still hesitating. When Hua Ni saw this, she said, "She's so cold she's lost all feeling. If we don't warm her up soon, she might really be beyond saving."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Hua took the half bowl of water and fed it to Old Woman Hua on the ground.
Seeing that Aunt Hua had drunk all the water, Huani took the empty bowl and said, "You don't need to kneel here and beg me, because I can't do what you're asking me to do."
"If you want me to die with you, then you can take me back now..."
Having said all that, Old Man Hua knew that it would be useless to say anything more. He looked up at Hua Ni and said, "Ni, you hate me and your mother, don't you?"
"No, I don't hate you at all. I have no feelings for you anymore."
From the day she arrived at the Gu family, she had no connection with the Hua family and no feelings for any member of the Hua family.
The only person she was worried about before, Huaduo, is now taking care of her family. As for the rest of the people, she really doesn't care anymore.
“My indenture is now with the Gu family, and Hua Duo’s indenture is also with the Gu family. As long as the Gu family is willing to take us in, then we are members of the Gu family, and have nothing to do with you or the Hua family.”
After Hua Ni finished speaking, she took the bowl and left, taking the flowers with her. Scarface glanced at her, then looked at Xiao Chunhua in his arms.
"They're all gone, what are we going to do?"
"Of course we'll close the door!"
Scarface nodded in agreement: "Yes, you're right. We should have closed the door while we stayed behind."
Then he looked at Old Man Hua kneeling on the ground: "Didn't you hear what I just said? What are you still kneeling here for?"
"Do you want me to throw you out?"
He had barely finished speaking when Old Man Hua moved. After several hours of freezing, Brother Hua was also starting to feel unsteady on his feet.
But he still stood up, put Aunt Hua in his arms, and walked step by step toward his home.
Hua Guo, who was following behind, kept cursing and refused to leave, but he was no match for Scarface, and it was impossible for him to break in.
In the end, he could only follow behind Old Man Hua, limping home.
The Hua family made a scene in front of the Gu family's house all day. When they saw that everyone had left, those who had come to watch the commotion also went home.
Gu Jiao'er sat on the edge of the bed, looking towards the door. After a short while, someone lifted the curtain and came in.
The person who came in was also taken aback when they saw Gu Jiao'er sitting there, then came to the bedside: "How are you recovering today? Are you feeling any better than yesterday? Do you need me to help you...?"
"Are you really willing to marry me? Has that woman agreed?"
Did she not object or make any other demands on you?
The scarred man, whose sword had been broken, was a little confused by these words. He didn't understand why Gu Jiao'er would ask him that.
Whether I marry you or not is my business. What does it have to do with anyone else?
"I told you so much before, and you didn't remember a single thing?"
"Now that I've finished setting up the house, you come here to ask me if I really want to marry you. Does that mean you've changed your mind? You don't want to marry me anymore?"
Gu Jiao'er was also taken aback when she heard the question. She had never thought of going back on her word; she was just worried that the person in front of her might change his mind.
"Are you really unwilling to marry me? No, you can't not marry me. You told me you would marry me. If you go back on your word... I'll... I'll..."
“I’ll drag you back, chain you up, and make sure you can’t go anywhere. You’ll have to stay in the house and have my babies.”
Scarface became anxious when he didn't hear Gu Jiao'er speak, and then said those words. He originally just said them to scare Gu Jiao'er.
But after hearing this, Gu Jiao'er looked at him seriously and asked, "If I really wanted to go back on my word, would you really do it?"
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'd joke with you?"
He sat on a bench in the room and poured himself a glass of cold tea: "I'm just a small-time hoodlum. I was before, and I still am now. If there's any difference, it's just that I didn't have any underlings before, but now I have a bunch of them."
"No one likes someone like me, and no one wants to marry me. I thought I would never find a decent wife in my life..."
But one day a girl barged into his room and, out of fear, made a deal with him. Although it was just a deal, he already had a wife!
Besides, he likes this wife and wants to marry her. Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble to go back to get money and buy land here to build a house?
"...In short, I'm warning you, if you don't marry me, you'll have no freedom in the future, and you'll be tied down by me for the rest of your life."
Surprisingly, Gu Jiao'er wasn't very afraid after hearing what Scarface said. She frowned and looked at Scarface.
"They all dislike me; I'm someone they hate. Even so, will you still marry me?"
"What do I care if other people like you or not? I like you, that's all that matters."
"Besides, you're sleeping in the same bed as me, not with them, so why do you care so much?"
Although the words were crude, the principle was sound, and Gu Jiao'er shut her mouth after hearing them.
