Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 182. Rage
Chapter 182: 182. Rage
"I said you’d believe it." Hua Jin smiled ingratiatingly, trying to gloss it over.
"Hua Jin..."
Madam Qi shouted fiercely, startling Hua Jin, making her stand up straight; her heart and lungs trembled, and her face turned pale. Her scared look made Hua Laopo and Hua Laohan feel a pang of pity, but thinking about their granddaughter’s boldness, they hardened their hearts and kept stern faces.
The elderly couple could hold back, but the two brothers, who couldn’t stand to see their sister aggrieved, couldn’t hold back.
Hua Yunxiang, being straightforward, said, "Mom, you scared sister."
He then received a harsh glare from his mother, as expected.
"Yeah, Mom, sister is still young, take it easy,"
Hua Yunao couldn’t help but speak up, especially seeing his little sister’s pitiful look. Although he felt she needed a good lesson, he couldn’t help himself.
"Mom..." Hua Jin timely pouted and her eyes reddened, then pitifully looked at her mother: "Mom don’t be mad, anger harms the body, my brothers and I will be heartbroken. Listen to me..."
Faced with her two sons tugging back, Madam Qi felt blocked, yet when touching upon her daughter’s reddened eyes, she softened a bit and did not speak this time.
"I know my father and I went somewhere we shouldn’t have, but there was indeed a compelling reason. Don’t you know your daughter? Am I such a reckless person? Besides, with dad accompanying me, don’t you trust him?"
This seemed like a venting outlet for Madam Qi, her eyes wishing to pierce several holes into her husband.
Hua Chengtian: "..."
Diverting the trouble eastwards! What a good daughter he has.
Share the blessings, share the hardships, sorry dad!
Hua Jin apologetically shrunk her head.
"Even so, you can’t just..."
"Daughter-in-law, have dinner first, discuss after eating?"
Upon hearing his precious granddaughter mentioning a compelling reason, Old Master Huang knew there must be something up and interrupted Madam Qi.
Madam Qi always respected her parents-in-law; since the father-in-law spoke, she couldn’t not listen, glaring at her daughter and closing her mouth.
"Alright then, let’s eat first." The old man spoke up.
The meal was eaten in silence; even the usually lively fourth sibling kept his head down, quickly finishing his bowl, and after proclaiming he was done, he vanished outside at the first opportunity.
He’d rather go back to reading than stay in the chilly main room.
After that, Hua Yunao dragged his second brother away quickly after they finished eating.
As for whether their sister would be disciplined, Hua Yunao wasn’t worried at all. Grandpa’s attitude had already shown, all because of a few words from his sister.
His sister was indeed bold, certainly needing proper guidance. Who knew how nervous he was upon hearing from their dad that he and his sister had been followed? Even knowing they were safe now, he couldn’t help but fear.
Yet... they were the same; they couldn’t bear seeing their sister wronged. It was best to avoid this, lest they couldn’t help but defend her before even speaking. Earlier, they couldn’t help it, and mom nearly turned them into pincushions with her glare.
Pulling along a reluctant second brother, Hua Yunao decisively returned to their room.
"Mom, let me help you clean up," Hua Jin said ingratiatingly, swiftly standing up to gather chopsticks and bowls.
Helping out alongside was Hua Chengtian, also wearing an ingratiating smile.
"Yes, yes, dear wife, you’ve worked hard cooking, leave this to me and our daughter, you rest with mom."
"Hmph," throwing a glance at her husband, but still setting down the chopsticks in her hand.
After explaining the origin of the black horse, not only had he received a scolding from his parents, but his wife also ignored him for over an hour. This "hmph" was enough to make him happy.
These were indeed the troubles caused by his mischievous daughter, Hua Chengtian thought helplessly as he looked at the child, yet he knew without his indulgence, his daughter wouldn’t have gone through. So at the end of the day, he didn’t really mind the expressions on his parents and wife’s faces.
The father and daughter quickly cleaned up the mess on the table and busied themselves with washing and wiping. Naturally, Hua Chengtian did the washing, while Hua Jin only dried the plates and bowls. As for the stove and floor, Madam Hua and Madam Qi habitually cleaned up while cooking, leaving nothing much to wipe down.
Knowing what lay ahead, the father and daughter couldn’t have worked more slowly, dragging out half a pot of tea’s worth of chores to one full pot before slowly preparing to face the music.
Once Hua Chengtian entered the room, he chose a corner, giving his daughter a look of "wish you luck," then shrinking his presence, squatting cautiously, mainly because he didn’t dare to sit!
Unfortunately, he forgot that his large figure, even when shrinking his presence, was still quite noticeable and earned him another fierce glare from his wife, to which he could only return with a placating smile.
Hua Chengtian felt, for a moment, truly difficult indeed!
"Mom, grandpa and grandma," Hua Jin inhaled deeply, knowing a bandage must come off sooner or later, so she squeezed in beside her mom, trying to flatter while massaging her shoulders despite her mom’s cold face.
"Mom, don’t stay mad. I know I was wrong, but there’s indeed a reason, and Mom, grandpa, and grandma, haven’t you forgotten that I do have the ability to protect myself? I always remember what you’ve taught me, I would never disregard the safety of dad and me."
"Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t work, how dangerous it is, what if those people don’t give you time?" At this point, Madam Qi was more upset, every time she thought about it, her heart was filled with unease, not understanding how her daughter’s courage could be so great.
"Mom, it was broad daylight with so many people around, and the government office wasn’t far, those people wouldn’t dare."
"So, just daring to act this boldly and recklessly, do you?" Madam Qi glared at her daughter. Had she not already vented her anger on the daughter’s father, she would have been unable to resist wanting to slap her daughter a few times, so she could learn from this reckless act.
"No, no," Hua Jin couldn’t dare admit it. Besides, she hadn’t intended to seek attention; it was the situation that had developed that way when she was just trying to earn a bit more silver.
"Your mom’s right, Jin’er, grandpa knows you’re a sensible child, but you should weigh matters carefully, not put yourself in danger, especially when you already know it’s risky. At least you should know how to avoid danger, remember that there are no certainties in this world. What would we or your mom do if something really happened to you both?" Hua Laohan forcibly maintained a stern face toward his granddaughter.
This child needs to be taught a deep lesson, as his daughter said, she’s too bold, she needs this, even if reasons are grand, without absolute capability, she cannot put herself in danger.
"Mom, grandpa, and grandma, I know I was wrong, I promise there won’t be a next time. If anything comes up, I’ll think it through thoroughly, and believe me it wasn’t intentional because..."
At this point, Hua Jin knew she wouldn’t get past this without detailing a clear explanation.
... Looks like she had to talk with facts.
Next, under the astonished gaze of her grandparents and mom, they were pulled by her hand and experienced a moment of weightlessness, finding themselves in her spatial domain.
"Mom, grandpa, grandma, this is the reason I couldn’t not go." Hua Jin pointed at where they stood, her blessed land space.
"I’ve never forgotten grandpa your teachings, I truly have confidence, and there were government officials patrolling the city, so even if some people had intentions, they wouldn’t dare act outright. I had thought this through, and I’m smart. Dad and I both had disguises, we were indeed well prepared."
