The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao was completely trapped in a nightmare. She sobbed softly, wondering why no one came to save her. On the mountain, they waited from day till night, but no one from the Hua family showed up.

The kidnappers gradually lost their patience, and when they realized they were being tricked, Hua Miaomiao became the outlet for their anger.

Although Scarface had ordered not to embarrass her, he could not stop his men from doing something behind her back. They quietly threw her into a dark trap, threw some ugly toads in it, and tied two hungry wolves to guard the pit.

When Scarface found out, Hua Miaomiao was already in a trance and on the verge of collapse. Thinking of her confident and proud appearance before, he felt a little sorry, and his usually cold heart was moved a little.

Scarface was once a military commander, but he became a bandit because he was framed. He still had some chivalrous qualities in his heart, and he would never kill anyone easily when he robbed houses. He felt sympathy for Hua Miaomiao and intended to let her go.

However, something unexpected happened. The Hua family came to the door. Instead of keeping their promise and bringing the ransom, they brought people to attack. In the melee, someone knocked over the shelf where the poison was stored, and the flying poison powder just happened to hit Hua Miaomiao's face.

"It hurts! Mother, save me!"

"It's so dark here. Miaomiao is scared. Where are you, mother?"

Hua Miaomiao couldn't suppress the pain and grievance in her heart, and couldn't help crying out. She kept calling for her mother, which made the people present feel pain in their hearts.

Mrs. Wu was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She stayed by her bed, holding her hand, and kept calling her name, hoping to wake her up.

Hua Ruling also wanted to go up, but couldn't move his legs. He had to admit that when his wife just passed away, he did vent his anger on Hua Miaomiao. He thought, if she wasn't so willful, if she used to bring her entourage with her when she went out, and even thought that if she didn't be so self-righteous and nosy, would everything be different. So, he was away from home all year round on the pretext of going out to hunt monsters. But such escape did not alleviate his pain. He gradually figured out that everything is fate and no one can control it. It was his own selfish thoughts that were too narrow-minded and contrary to the way of chivalry. But when he wanted to repair the relationship between father and daughter, Miaomiao had been pushed away by his indifference again and again. He felt guilty and distressed about this daughter, and the more so, the more he couldn't start.

"Daddy, don't go! Please don't leave me." The daughter's pitiful cry was like a sharp blade that broke the ice, breaking the barrier between father and daughter. The father's love that had been hidden for many years was like a raging flame, out of control.

Hua Ruling burst into tears. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Hua Miaomiao into his arms. He patted her back like he did when they were children and coaxed her softly, "Miaomiao, be good. Daddy is here. Don't be afraid. Daddy will always protect you."

Maybe Hua Miaomiao really heard it. She slowly calmed down, her expression relaxed, and she fell asleep obediently leaning on her father.

When Hua Miaomiao woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. She lazily climbed out of the bed and stretched lazily with a contented look on her face.

"Hua Zhuzhu, you finally woke up. I've never seen anyone who sleeps more than you." Seeing that Hua Miaomiao woke up and was in good spirits, Ge Qinglan finally let go of his worry and couldn't help teasing her.

Hua Miaomiao didn't know how long she slept. She only vaguely remembered that she had a long dream, as if she had experienced her previous life again, but this time it was different. It seemed that many people were accompanying her, encouraging her, and making her feel warm. Even her father, who had been indifferent and distant before, was taking care of her. What a beautiful dream.

"You slept so well, you don't know how worried we were. You kept crying in pain, but we couldn't wake you up. My father-in-law was so worried that he cried."

"My father?" Hua Miaomiao expressed doubt. Her father had always been a tough guy, and it was hard to associate him with the word "crying".

Seeing her unbelieving expression, Ge Qinglan swore and promised her. "Really, you have to believe me. Don't think that your father-in-law doesn't care about you. I saw it clearly this time. He is very worried about you."

Hua Miaomiao didn't want to continue this topic. After so many disappointments, she had learned not to have any hope.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"From yesterday afternoon till now, it's been almost a day and a night."

It's been so long, no wonder she's so hungry now.

"Ge Ergou, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

"It's rude. How can you call your husband like that?" Hua Ruling heard her rude words as soon as she entered the room. Being used to the role of a strict father, he couldn't help but start to lecture her again.

Seeing Hua Miaomiao's pale face, Ge Qinglan hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law has misunderstood. Miaomiao and I have always been like this, I am used to it. If she changes, I will not be able to adapt."

Wu, who was following behind Hua Ruling, glanced at him sideways, walked past him, put the porridge and side dishes in her hand on the table, took Hua Miaomiao over, and began to feed her in small mouthfuls.

"You are spoiling her too much. She is already married."

"I raised the child, I can spoil her however I want." She said without turning her head: "If you don't know how to speak, just say less to avoid misunderstandings. I don't know who it was that hugged my daughter and cried bitterly yesterday."

"I..." Hua Ruling was so angry that she couldn't say anything back. She could only sigh and slowly stepped aside, muttering softly, "Don't just drink the porridge, eat some vegetables."

Ge Qinglan suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards his father-in-law. He walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, watching Hua Miaomiao drink porridge together. "Father-in-law, Miaomiao is easy to coax. Come on!"

Hua Ruling turned her head to look at the brat whom she once hated so much. She could see that he was truly kind to her daughter, so she secretly made up her mind to let go of the past and try to start over.

Hua Miaomiao recovered, and the atmosphere in the Hua family became more positive. Mrs. Wu prepared a sumptuous banquet for them.

Hua Ruling was very reluctant to leave. Although it was only from the east to the west of the city, the relationship between father and daughter had finally eased, and they really didn't want to separate so soon.

He took out a wooden box from his arms and carefully put it into Hua Miaomiao's hands, "This is for you."

Hua Miaomiao fumbled to open the box, and found a wooden hairpin inside. When she touched the unique peach blossom on it, she was stunned. It was a peach hairpin specially carved by her father for her mother. It was her mother's most cherished thing when she was alive. She asked uncertainly, "Father?"

"Peach wood symbolizes good luck and good fortune. I hope you can have a peaceful home and a long life of blessings in the future."

"Thank you, Dad." Hua Miaomiao's eyes were already filled with tears. She threw herself into her father's arms, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Ge Qinglan and Wu looked at each other and both smiled with relief. The whole room was warm and peaceful.
