Chapter 226: The Original Dilemma

The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home. Early in the morning, Hua Sangu, Hua Erniang, and Hua Wuniang brought their husbands and children to the Hua family's yard.

Seeing Hua Dalang calling her again, Hua Changxi muttered, "In the past, my sisters and I were not qualified to enter the main hall to entertain guests. Now, I am called upon for everything. I really miss the past."

After hearing this, Hua Dalang paused, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, and he did not respond.

Today, all the people he met were relatives. Even though Hua Changxi was not very willing, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany the guests.

When he was about to reach the main hall, Hua Changxi sighed again when he saw Mr. He Sanye and others sitting inside.

"When can I stop having to deal with this kind of socializing?"

When Hua Dalang heard Hua Changxi's whisper, he said bluntly: "That might be a little difficult, unless you are a lonely person with no children, no relatives or friends."

As he spoke, he glanced at her.

"Why, do you want to become a monk and cut off all ties with the secular world?"

Hua Changxi: "That's not the case. I am happy to make friends with people I like."

Hua Dalang frowned after hearing this and said, "Jiu Niang, it is impossible for people to live only according to their own wishes."

Seeing that her elder brother was about to lecture her again, Hua Changxi quickly said, "I know, I know."

Hua Dalang was worried that his sister would feel awkward after entering the room, so he couldn't help but say, "Jiu Niang, you live among people. When people get along with each other, they have to flatter and respect each other. If you just admire yourself, your path will only get narrower and narrower."

Hua Changxi glared and retorted: "When did I become self-admiring?"

Hua Dalang: "You don't have any?" He paused and said in a low voice, "With so many people at home, who do you take seriously?"

"Jiu Niang, as your eldest brother, I want to give you a piece of advice. No matter how powerful you are, there are still times when you are not as good as others, and there are times when you need help from others."

“When you are at a high place, you should still look down and see other people.”

Hua Changxi listened to Hua Dalang's words and automatically translated them in his mind.

"Jiu Niang, you have gained the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree, which is a great achievement. You have gained such a great benefit, so you should use it to benefit your family and take care of your tribe members. Otherwise, if you encounter problems in the future, your family and tribe members will not care about you."

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi felt uncomfortable.

"Brother, your so-called self-admiration is just because I didn't act according to your expectations and wishes. You don't need to pretend to be doing good for me and tell me some specious truths."

When Hua Dalang saw that his sister was looking at him like that, he felt that his efforts were all in vain. He laughed at himself, turned around and went straight into the house.

Hua Changxi snorted, "I was right. You must be feeling guilty." After muttering to himself, he finally went into the main room.

The only female member sitting in the main room was Old Lady Hua. Hua Changxi glanced around and sat down on the round stool behind the old lady.

This shocked the old lady. Among so many granddaughters in the family, the one she got the worst of was the ninth granddaughter. Now that she saw the ninth granddaughter taking the initiative to get close to her, the old lady was a little uncomfortable.

Grandpa Hua and his sons-in-law were either talking about the development of the family or the changes in the outside world.

Most of the news they talked about were hearsay, which made Hua Changxi feel sleepy.

Old Mrs. Hua saw her granddaughter's impatience and whispered, "Men's conversations are boring. You'll get used to it if you listen to them more."

Want to hear more?
Hua Changxi shook his head: "Forget it."

Old Lady Hua: "What do you mean by that? Do you think anyone can sit in this room?"

Hua Changxi looked over and asked: "Is it really an honor to sit in the main hall?"

Old Mrs. Hua straightened her back and said, "Of course it's an honor. Sitting in this room is a symbol of status." Then, she showed a meaningful look. "You, don't be impatient. Don't push away what you have obtained."

"This is true for the Hua family, and it is also true for the Medical Department where you work."

Hua Changxi didn't expect the old lady to say something like this: "Then tell me, Grandma, what does sitting in this room symbolize?"

Old Madam Hua looked at her and said, "This means that you will have a say in future social interactions and can influence some decisions of our family."

"People who interact with our family know you now. When they come to us for help, they will value and consider your opinions and ideas. You are no longer an insignificant person."

Hua Changxi said "Oh", "That means I have been promoted to a member of the family's decision-making level."

Old Mrs. Hua looked at her granddaughter and said, "You are blessed. I am an old woman and I can sit in this room because I have given birth to children for the Hua family and worked hard for half my life. Only then can I have this qualification. You should cherish your blessings."

Hua Changxi laughed and said, "Grandma, maybe I don't want this blessing."

Old Mrs. Hua was stunned: "Girl, I thought you were the smartest one in the family, but I never thought you were so stupid."

Seeing her granddaughter still looking unimpressed, Old Lady Hua frowned and said, "You wouldn't look like this when you were in the Medical Department, would you?"

Hua Changxi: "What does it look like?"

Old Lady Hua: "She just looks like she doesn't like anything."

Hua Changxi shook his head: "No, I still really want the Shenmu Secret Realm."

Old Lady Hua asked again: "What about dealing with people?"

Hua Changxi: ".I only care about myself. As for others, I spend more time with those who are in my good mood, and stay away from those who are not in my good mood."

After hearing what her granddaughter said, Old Mrs. Hua frowned and spoke after a while.

"Nine Lady, in this world, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. This is true at home, and even more so in other places."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Grandma, this is your experience, it doesn't apply to me. I have my own path to take."

Old Mrs. Hua had a headache. At this moment, she realized that her ninth granddaughter was so stubborn.

Yes, if I wasn't stubborn, I wouldn't be disobedient and go against my family from childhood to adulthood.

Old Madam Hua suddenly became a little worried. She had a vague feeling that if Jiu Niang brought her way of getting along with her family outside, she would most likely fail.

The old lady couldn't express her worry in words, so she could only say to Hua Changxi: "Nineth Lady, you should be more kind to others and don't go against others in everything."

Hua Changxi felt that the old lady's words were very abrupt: "Grandma, I am very kind to others. If others don't provoke me, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble."

The old lady wanted to say something when Hua Wuniang came into the room carrying the child.

Hua Changxi looked at the cute little baby and smiled immediately: "Fifth sister, Xiaoman has grown so big, come and give him a hug."

After Hua Wuniang paid respects to the elders while holding the child, she placed the white and tender chubby baby in her arms into Hua Changxi's hands.

"Xiao Man, do you remember who I am? I'm your ninth aunt."

He Xiaoman was amused by Hua Changxi and laughed.

Seeing how much Hua Changxi liked her son, Hua Wu Niang smiled and said, "I can't believe you like children, Jiu Niang."

Hua Changxi kissed the baby's face in Pang's arms: "Children are so cute and innocent, who doesn't like them?"
