Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 183. Burst into tears
Chapter 183: 183. Burst into tears
The three bewildered people heard Hua Jin’s abrupt words and simultaneously stared at her. Qi Shi couldn’t help but slap her daughter’s arm, leaving Hua Jin dazed for a moment.
Did they really think the kids didn’t have a backup plan? Her father said everything. Were they angry because there was no backup plan, or because the kids were too bold?
Constantly putting oneself in danger was meant to teach the child a lesson.
Granny Hua watched her dear granddaughter get slapped and almost wanted to step forward in distress, but Grandpa Hua quickly stopped her with a glance.
Since the slap was done, going forward would just waste the lesson, hopefully letting her feel the pain and remember the lesson. freewёbnoνel.com
After so many years together, one glance was enough for Granny Hua to understand. She turned her face away and kept her pain to herself without stepping forward.
"That won’t do. Mom just wants you to be fine, nothing else. Confidence is good but don’t be overly confident. Remember that there are always people better than oneself, and the unexpected can happen. If something really happens, how do you expect mom to live?" Qi Shi’s eyes reddened, and tears began to fall as she touched her daughter’s slapped arm, feeling distressed.
Seeing her mother’s tears, Hua Jin panicked. She would rather her mother hit her a few more times than see her mother sad and crying. She quickly hugged her mother tightly.
It was her fault. She was indeed a bit arrogant and didn’t consider her family’s feelings.
She always relied on her family’s love and spoiled herself, acting on her own accord. Her grandparents’ words and her mother’s slap were justified.
Seeing her mother worried and distressed truly pained Hua Jin.
"Mom, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Don’t cry. If you’re upset, hit me a few more times, but don’t make yourself sick from anger. Mom, I swear I will never be arrogant again, and I will not act on my own. I understand now, I promise I won’t put myself in danger again. Mom, don’t cry, I feel bad... wah..." said Hua Jin as her eyes reddened and she began to cry loudly.
Seeing her grandparents worried and her mother crying from worrying about her, Hua Jin felt a block in her chest and suddenly burst out crying loudly.
This had never happened in the past. Even when her parents were gone in the previous life, she only knew how to shed tears, dazed like a wandering soul. She never cried when bullied, wasn’t that happy upon entering university, not when earning money, nor when buying her own house. But at this moment, she couldn’t help it and just wanted to cry aloud, letting it all out.
This sudden loud cry scared the old couple, and even Qi Shi stopped crying, feeling nervous.
Grandpa and Granny Hua panicked. They wanted the child to learn a lesson, but they didn’t want her to be so heartbroken and cry so much. Even as a child who understood nothing, their granddaughter never cried like this. The old couple was anxious.
They quickly stepped forward, flustered and at a loss, "Dear granddaughter, stop crying. Grandma won’t scold you anymore. We know you’re a good child. Grandpa and Grandma know it. Don’t cry anymore, or you’ll make Grandma cry too," said Granny Hua with a sob, her eyes red, unable to bear seeing her granddaughter so sad.
Being tightly held by Hua Jin, Qi Shi couldn’t care about wiping her own tears and hurriedly hugged her daughter back, feeling flustered, wondering if she was too harsh and scared the child.
That’s right, although her daughter handled things maturely, she was still a child. She’d even slapped her earlier. At this moment, she deeply regretted it. After all, wasn’t her daughter doing all this for the family? Otherwise, why would she think of earning money? It’s her incompetence as a mother, blaming her daughter instead. Even if the child didn’t think things through, couldn’t they discuss it slowly? The daughter had always been obedient and understanding and would surely listen.
Qi Shi felt both regretful and distressed. She’d never seen her daughter so sad, and her cries seemed to want to let out all the grievances in her heart.
But words once spoken can’t be taken back. She just held her daughter, gently patting her, "Good girl, Mom knows you’re a good child. Mom is just scared. Okay, no more crying, no more crying."
Qi Shi surrendered.
Hua Jin also wanted to stop crying, but she couldn’t control herself. Although she was crying loudly, she felt much lighter, and even her body seemed to become lighter. It was as if all the accumulated grievances in her heart had been vented.
In that instant, Hua Jin suddenly understood. This wasn’t a bad thing. Otherwise, one day with too much accumulation might lead to a collapse.
She looked tough and strong on the outside, but she knew it was just a facade. Deep down, the her from the previous life was very repressed, only slowly letting go upon coming here and regaining the innocence of a child.
Since she couldn’t control it, she just let herself be willful, following her heart to cry out all the hidden bad feelings, forgetting that they were in the space where no one outside could hear.
Hua Jin felt relieved, but Grandpa Hua and the others were very worried, watching their granddaughter’s tears fall like raindrops. Their hearts ached, and they surrounded Hua Jin, constantly comforting her. But it was as if the child didn’t hear, continuing to cry with her eyes closed, which distressed them greatly.
Finally, the three of them had no choice but to stay by the child’s side, letting her cry as much as she wanted. Fortunately, after a while, the cries subsided a bit and slowly stopped. But perhaps because she cried too hard, she began to hiccup, feeling uncomfortable. Hua Jin quickly grabbed a bottle of water, once again displaying her ability to conjure things out of thin air in front of her family and gulped down half the bottle.
Grandpa Hua, the old couple, and Qi Shi didn’t have the mind to think about anything else and watched Hua Jin with concern.
Granny Hua: "Feeling better? Does your body still feel uncomfortable?"
Qi Shi tenderly used a handkerchief to wipe her daughter’s tears and snot.
At this moment, the child’s face was red, nose red, eyes red, looking pitiful. Qi Shi dared not say a harsh word, the thought of letting her daughter learn a lesson long gone, only wanting the child to quickly recover her emotions. Everything else was unimportant.
Hua Jin shook her head, enjoying the comfort from her grandparents and mother. Suddenly she realized that the earlier emotion came just in time. Now, isn’t it good that her family had soothed her, mom wasn’t crying anymore, and more importantly, the long-accumulated grievance in her heart was gone, making her feel like she was reborn.
"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, I’m fine. I was just feeling too sorry for mom earlier and couldn’t hold back. And I really realized my mistake. I’ll definitely think twice before doing anything in the future and won’t act recklessly. But Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, I need you to believe in Jin’er. Even if there are accidents, Jin’er will protect herself and all of you."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa and Grandma were also at fault. You are a sensible child, and we should talk to you properly. We were just too worried about you."
Granny Hua nodded along, deeply touched by how her dear granddaughter cried earlier.
"It’s not your fault. I’m really happy, happy to have a family that loves and cares for me so much. Being your child makes me feel truly blessed," Hua Jin said, looking lovingly at her grandparents and mother.
"Silly child," seeing the loving look in the child’s eyes, Grandpa Hua, Granny Hua, and Qi Shi smiled with satisfaction.
