Chapter 226: The Dilemma of Origin

The second day of the New Year is the day for married daughters to return to their maiden homes. Early in the morning, Third Aunt Hua, Second Aunt Hua, and Fifth Aunt Hua brought their husbands and children to the Hua family courtyard.

Hua Changxi heard the movement and muttered: "In the past, other sisters and I in the family were not qualified to enter the main hall to accompany guests, but now it's good, everything has to be called on me, I really miss the past."

Hua Dalang heard this, his body paused, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he didn't answer.

Today, she was meeting relatives. Hua Changxi, even if she was not very willing in her heart, could only bite the bullet and accompany the guests.

When she was about to reach the main hall, looking at He San Ye and others sitting inside, Hua Changxi sighed again.

"Hey, when can I stop dealing with this kind of social interaction?"

Hua Dalang heard Hua Changxi's low muttering and said bluntly: "That's probably a bit difficult, unless you are a lone person, with no children, no grandchildren, no relatives and friends."

As he spoke, he squinted at her.

"Why, do you want to become a monk and cut off the red dust?"

Hua Changxi: "That's not it. For people I like, I am willing to make friends."

Hua Dalang heard this, his brow furrowed: "Ninth Sister, it is impossible for people to live only according to their own wishes."

Hua Changxi saw that Big Brother was going to lecture her again and hurriedly said: "I know, I know."

Hua Dalang was worried that his sister would have a cold scene after entering the room, and couldn't help but say: "Ninth Sister, you live in a crowd. To get along with people, you have to hold each other up and respect each other. If you just admire yourself, the road will only get narrower and narrower."

Hua Changxi glared and retorted: "When did I admire myself?"

Hua Dalang: "Didn't you?" He paused, his tone low, "There are so many people in the family, who have you put in your eyes?"

"Ninth Sister, as an older brother, I advise you, no matter how powerful you are, there are things you cannot reach, and there are times when you need the help of others."

"When you climb high, you still have to look down and see others more."

Hua Changxi heard Hua Dalang's words and automatically translated them in her mind.

"Ninth Sister, you have obtained the Divine Tree secret realm and can be said to have stepped into the sky in one step. You have obtained such a big benefit, you should benefit your family and take care of the clan members. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, the family and clan members will not care about you."

Thinking this way, Hua Changxi felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Big Brother, your so-called self-admiration is just because I didn't act according to your expectations and wishes. You don't have to look like you are doing it for my own good and tell me some plausible big truths."

Hua Dalang saw that his sister actually looked at him like this, felt that his painstaking efforts were fed to the dogs, laughed at himself, turned his head, and went straight into the room.

Hua Changxi "cut"-ed: "Guessed by me, feeling guilty, right?" After muttering, she finally entered the main hall.

Sitting in the main hall, there was only Old Madam Hua, a female family member. Hua Changxi scanned the room and sat directly on the round stool behind the old madam.

This surprised the old madam. Among the many granddaughters in the family, the one who was most at odds with her was Ninth Sister. Now seeing Ninth Sister actually taking the initiative to get close to her, the old madam was really not used to it.

Old Master Hua and several sons-in-law were talking about the development of the family or the changes in the outside world.

Most of the news they said was hearsay, which made Hua Changxi want to fall asleep.

Old Madam Hua saw her granddaughter's impatience and whispered: "It's very boring for men to talk, you will get used to it if you listen more."

Listen more?

Hua Changxi shook her head: "Forget it."

Old Madam Hua: "Forget what, do you think anyone can sit in this room?"

Hua Changxi looked over: "Is it glorious to sit in the main hall?"

Old Madam Hua straightened her waist: "Of course it is glorious. Sitting in this room is a symbol of status." Then, she showed a meaningful look.

"You, don't be impatient, don't push away the things you have in your hands."

"The Hua family is like this, and the Medicine Department you are in is also like this."

Hua Changxi didn't expect the old madam to have this insight: "Then Grandmother, tell me, what does it symbolize to sit in this room?"

Old Madam Hua looked at her: "It symbolizes that in the future social interactions of our family, you also have the power to speak, and you can influence some of the family's decisions."

"People who interact with our family also know you. If there is anything they ask for, they will also value and consider your opinions and ideas."

Hua Changxi "oh"-ed: "That is to say, I have been promoted to a member of the family's decision-making layer."

Old Madam Hua looked at her granddaughter: "You are blessed. I can sit in this room because I have given birth to children for the Hua family and worked hard for half my life to have this qualification. You, you should cherish the blessing."

Hua Changxi smiled: "Grandmother, maybe I don't want this blessing."

Old Madam Hua looked surprised: "You girl, I originally thought your brain was the most flexible in the family, but I didn't expect it to be so dull." 【226-43

Seeing that her granddaughter still had an indifferent expression, Old Madam Hua frowned: "You are in the Medicine Department; you aren't like this there too, are you?"

Hua Changxi: "Like what?"

Old Madam Hua: "Just like you don't think anything is worth your attention."

Hua Changxi shook her head: "No, I actually quite want the Divine Wood Secret Realm."

Old Madam Hua asked again: "Then what about dealing with people?"

Hua Changxi: "... I only look after myself. As for others, if they get along with me, I'll interact with them more; if they don't, I'll stay away."

Upon hearing her granddaughter's words, Old Madam Hua frowned directly and only spoke after a long while.

"Jiuniang, the affairs of the world are either the east wind prevailing over the west wind, or the west wind prevailing over the east wind. It is like this in the family, and even more so elsewhere."

Hua Changxi smiled: "Grandmother, that is your experience, it doesn't apply to me. I have my own path to walk."

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

It was true; if she weren't stubborn, she wouldn't be so resistant to discipline and would have been going against the family since she was small.

Old Madam Hua suddenly felt a bit worried. She vaguely felt that if Jiuniang carried her way of interacting with family members to the outside world, she would likely stumble nine times out of ten.

This worry could not be expressed in words, so the old lady could only say to Hua Changxi: "Jiuniang, you must be kind to others and not go against everyone."

Hua Changxi felt that the old lady's words were very abrupt: "Grandmother, I am very kind to others. If others don't provoke me, I won't go looking for trouble."

At this moment, Hua Wuniang walked into the room holding her child.

Hua Changxi looked at the cute and naive little child and immediately beamed: "Fifth Sister, He Xiaoman is already this big? Let me hold him."

After Hua Wuniang bowed to the elders while holding the child, she handed the fair and chubby baby in her arms to Hua Changxi.

"Xiaoman, do you still remember who I am? I am your Ninth Aunt."

He Xiaoman giggled at Hua Changxi's teasing.

Seeing that Hua Changxi liked her son so much, Hua Wuniang smiled: "I really couldn't tell, Jiuniang, you actually like children."

Hua Changxi kissed the little cheeks of the baby in her arms: "Children are so cute, of course I like them."
