Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 232. Threat

At Aunt Hua’s place, Hua Yunao didn’t say anything, just smiled and opened the basket, revealing the contents deliberately, showing off the hotpot ingredients wrapped in oilcloth at the bottom.

Hua Yunxiang couldn’t keep his cool like his elder brother and proudly opened the basket, boasting that the hotpot was the best in the heavens and the earth, making his cousins salivate alongside him.

The aunts and uncles looked at the hotpot wrapped in oilcloth, emitting a unique aromatic smell, not knowing what to say.

Especially the two brothers-in-law, they were very grateful to their in-laws, since their brother-in-law and parents-in-law always thought of them with good stuff. They felt quite ashamed, as they could do very little in return.

All they could do was secretly promise to treat their wives well and do their best to respect their parents-in-law.

"Brother Ao, there’s no need to say much more, thank you for me to your parents and grandparents."

"Sure, I’ll definitely pass it on," Hua Yunao nodded, and indeed didn’t stand on ceremony. The uncle should surely thank his parents and grandparents, but most importantly, his sister.

As expected, the two brothers ended up staying at their aunt’s house and had hotpot for lunch, which suited them perfectly. Even though they had their fill last night, who would ever think of having too much of a good thing?

The dominating taste of the hotpot completely won over everyone in the two aunts’ households, including the grandfather and grandmother-in-law from Hua’s second aunt’s house.

Just like the Qi family, they ate with sweat streaming, and couldn’t bear to put down their chopsticks, truly eating to their fill for the first time in days, as the hotpot was incredibly appetizing.

Hua Yunxiang couldn’t hold his tongue while eating, proudly telling the second aunt’s family that this delicious and warming food was researched by his sister, causing a series of exclamations from Hua’s second aunt’s household. Especially Hua’s second aunt, who would have rushed back home to embrace her beloved niece endlessly if it weren’t so cold outside.

How can a child be so remarkable, able to concoct such delectable food?

It was the same at Aunt Hua’s house. Though Hua Yunao wasn’t as ostentatious as his second brother, he too shared the information discreetly, making Aunt Hua, who didn’t have a daughter, wish she could snatch Hua Jin home to raise herself, envying her brother and sister-in-law for having such an obedient, pretty, smart, capable, and impressive daughter.

Regarding bedtime, she couldn’t help but kick her husband, blaming him for not letting her have a daughter. Look at how wonderful daughters are, soft and cute, unlike the naughty boys who irritate her.

Zeng Yong wouldn’t give up on a wife who came to his door, directly hugging his wife and asking to have a daughter. Luckily, everyone in the family had their own tent, otherwise Hua’s second aunt would have beaten her husband to death.

At Hua’s second aunt’s house, at evening, the old couple from Liu’s family ate a bowl of hotpot noodles, with their belly warm. Before bedtime, feeling the warmth inside the tent, Liu crone couldn’t help wiping her tears.

"Alas! We don’t even know how the eldest son and his family are doing?"

They indeed showed more favor to the youngest son, but in the end, both hands are made of flesh, how could they not care?

Thinking about the severe disaster situation outside, how could the old couple not worry? They just kept it to themselves, not wanting their son and daughter-in-law to worry about them.

"Don’t worry, they should be fine. Don’t forget our village evacuated in advance, and the whole village moved together," Liu the old man comforted his wife, suppressing his worries.

"Let’s sleep," Liu crone patted the old man’s hand, knowing he was comforting her. But if she didn’t comfort herself like this, what else could she do? The two old ones couldn’t even walk out of the cave, thinking was in vain.

They shouldn’t ask the youngest son to risk his life looking for them. He couldn’t even make it halfway before falling. Just hope the children struggle to survive.

The night was very deep, with the sound of the wind mixed with large snowflakes pounding the ground, so that the next day when people got up, they found the whole mountain had turned into a world draped in silver overnight, covered by white snow.

The twelfth day of extreme cold, heavy snow arrived.

"Sis, sister, wake up quickly, it’s snowing outside." The sleeping Hua Jin heard her annoying brother’s voice outside the tent.

She was busy in her space last night for a long time before she got any sleep, and her stinky brother woke her up so soon.

Clearly groggy from not having slept enough, Hua Jin irritably scratched her chicken-cart-like hair.

"Little Fourth, you’re finished," leaving behind a threatening statement, he sat up and shivered, putting on layer after layer of clothes. Just dressing took much longer than usual, she even wore several pairs of socks before stepping into the boots her mother had specially tailored for her, the height snugly wrapping her ankles.

Standing at the cave entrance, Hua Yunao and Hua Yunxiang were gloating at their brother. They told him the sister hadn’t slept well and not to wake her, and the kid never listened, so he deserved to be punished.

As for the mischievous Little Fourth, he shivered and scurried behind his brothers, not forgetting to plead for mercy.

"Sister, spare me, spare me. You wronged your brother. I wanted to share with you immediately because I saw the snow. This shows how close your brother is to you. You can’t hit me.’

Little Fourth thought about his sister’s combat power with his little heart pounding. He had thought he had grown a lot, was taller, stronger, and was considering leaving the ground. No way would his sister suppress him as before, right?

But thoughts are often beautiful, while reality is cruel.

He forgot that he had grown, but his sister hadn’t stayed still. Whether in physical stature, strength, or reflexes, she outclassed him. No, it was more like she was insanely fast, leaving no room for him to strike back. Falling under her hands, he only received beatings.

A cold "humph" came from within the tent, followed by seeing his sister all dressed, squinting and looking at him with a face of cold air. Her hand slowly reached forward, and in it was a wooden stick as long as a child’s arm, pointing at him, scaring Little Fourth to the point he didn’t dare look at his sister.

"Choose, beaten standing, lying, or with your butt up. Of course, being beaten while rolling erratically works too. How about it, Sister, am I kind enough to you? Others don’t have the privilege of so many choices."

"Little Fourth, hurry up. A man should not dawdle. Pick one," Hua Yunxiang couldn’t help but laugh as he provocatively spoke, pulling Little Fourth who was hiding behind them.

Hua Yunao held back his laughter too. This was self-inflicted, and he had been warned but didn’t listen. They couldn’t do anything now that their sister was angry.

Little Fourth, not being a match for his second brother, got pulled to the front and could only look at his sister pitifully and flatteringly say, "Sister, you are the best. It’s all Little Fourth’s fault. I swear I’ll absolutely never disturb Sister’s sleep again. Sister, you’re kind and beautiful, wise and gentle, surely you wouldn’t be upset with your silly brother, right?"

"Wrong," Hua Jin sneered, tapping the stick on her palm while edging closer to Little Fourth.

’Do you remember even how many oaths you’ve sworn? Trusting you makes a fool. Today you must learn your lesson. Hurry up and come here, don’t make me grab you, otherwise... You’re aware..."
