Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 42. Use mine

The last words the child said really moved Hua Chengtian; his daughter was truly worried about him!

No wonder she’s been urging him to buy it, she actually wants to nourish him and the family!

He thought his daughter was so sensible, how could she make him spend money for no reason? It turns out this is why.

But... looking at the few big fish in the wooden basin, although Hua Chengtian didn’t want to disappoint his daughter and did pamper her a lot, but...

"Dad, buy it." As if she hadn’t seen her dad’s dilemma, Hua Jinchong urged again and then turned to Third Uncle Li, "Uncle, help me pack all these fish up."

Third Uncle Li didn’t move but looked at his newly acquainted brother, Hua Chengtian.

Of course, he wouldn’t take the child’s words too seriously, and just when he thought Brother Hua wouldn’t agree, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Brother Hua actually nodded, even though the heartache in his eyes was so obvious, but he really nodded.

Li was genuinely taken aback.

This Brother Hua truly redefined his understanding.

Turns out there really are people who can spoil their children to this extent.

Although it was his stuff being purchased, he also wanted to say, isn’t this just reckless spending? It’s not like they’re a wealthy family; you can’t just spend money freely even if you have it!

"Brother Hua, are you sure?" Li asked kindly, reminding Hua Chengtian.

"Yes, pack them all up."

Though still a bit heartbroken, since he agreed, there was nothing more to hesitate about. Fortunately, he brought extra Silver Coin just in case; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to buy them even if his daughter wanted them. Hua Chengtian sighed internally as he nodded affirmatively at Third Uncle Li and then showed a doting smile to his daughter beside him, feeling as if he owed his daughter in a past life. Otherwise, why would he be so reluctant to let her feel even a bit disappointed?

It seems that from now on, he has to work even harder!!!

"Dad, you are the best of the best dads in the world."

Hua Jinchong beamed at Hua Chengtian, and the pride in her expression made Hua Chengtian’s heartache vanish, instantly feeling that buying a few fish was no big deal.

Hua Jinchong was truly happy, having already been prepared for her dad to refuse, given that her request was basically nonsense.

She had even planned that if her dad disagreed, she’d use her ultimate weapon—acting cute and whining—to make sure they bought the fish.

She was chubby and fair-skinned, while everyone else in the family was thin and dark; Hua Jinchong couldn’t pretend not to notice.

The original intention of making money was to ensure that the family could live well, eat well, and her brother could go to school, wasn’t it?

Now that she’s earned some money, it should start from now!

But she still underestimated her dad’s love for her, to be precise, it could already be called doting—unconditionally doting—even though there were many things at home that needed money, and even though his heart ached with every word she said, he still chose not to oppose her. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

How could Hua Jinchong’s heart not feel warm with such family members? At this moment, it was burning, and before she realized it, she was already hugging her dad, expressing her love for him through words and actions.

Even if these actions seemed childish, wasn’t she exactly a childish little girl right now?

She found that since becoming a little girl, perhaps influenced subconsciously, her mindset followed suit, becoming smaller.

Some actions she thought she’d never make, yet she found herself doing them naturally, seamlessly integrating into the family.

When embraced by his daughter like this, Hua Chengtian’s heart melted completely, smiling foolishly, leaving Third Uncle Li speechless by the scene.

Even so, sincerely speaking, selling off all the fish was quite delightful, not worrying about the remaining few going unsold, and he hurriedly began weighing them.

"Brother Hua, it’s ninety-three pounds in total, eight hundred thirty coins," Li hesitated for a moment before giving the number.

Hua Chengtian didn’t even calculate and knew that brother Li from the stall was offering a discount again.

At ten coins per pound, it should cost over nine hundred coins.

"Brother Li, you’re giving too big a discount; that won’t do." Even though not taking a bargain is foolish, one mustn’t take advantage of someone’s generosity, so Hua Chengtian hurriedly waved his hand.

"Brother Hua clearing all my fish deserves a discount; otherwise, bringing these back would be troublesome, so I should be thanking Brother Hua." Li, also a straightforward man, said honestly.

"But this is too big of a discount..." Hua Chengtian felt genuinely embarrassed.

"No big deal, things from the water aren’t certain; Brother Hua, if you keep being polite, I won’t be happy," Li said seriously, furrowing his brows.

Seeing Li’s sincerity, even though Hua wasn’t one to fuss much, he thought it over and nodded swiftly.

"Alright, thank you, Brother Li."

Upon hearing the eight hundred coins, Hua Jinchong felt a pang of guilt for a moment, and while her dad and Uncle Li were chatting, she quickly ran to her mom’s side, extending her hand earnestly.

"Mom, I’ll use my own money to pay for the fish."

When urging her dad, the idea was to properly nourish the family, so since it was her idea, she naturally ought to pay.

Madam Qi rarely glared at her daughter; with the fish stall right next to theirs, how could she not hear the conversation between father and daughter? The reason she hadn’t intervened was that she thought the child was concerned about the family.

Plus, she had also mentioned something right; the fish from the neighboring stall were indeed good, and who knew when they would encounter such good fish at the next market.

Fish are hard to catch, and they are rarely sold, so these could easily be sold out during festive times, maybe even for a better price.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a festive season, so people were living frugally, most being unwilling to spend.

Moreover, she too cared, for the child’s dad, the child herself, and the in-laws. Since the child insisted on buying, then they might as well, for everyone to have a proper meal; after all, knowing their daughter now had a source of income played a part.

Otherwise, they certainly would have bought, but definitely not this much.

"Oh, you!" Madam Qi pointed at her daughter’s head, feigning annoyance, "Mom knows you’re happy about earning money today and want to improve the family’s life, but you can’t spend money like this. We need to be frugal and save for emergencies, always keep something for yourself. This time I’ll overlook it, but next time mom won’t indulge you, understood?"

Of course, she would give the money, but what’s needed to be said has to be said; although always nurturing the child, she never neglected teaching her.

Understanding her mother’s intention, Hua Jinchong nodded repeatedly, promising to agree promptly.

"It’s really good that you understand," Madam Qi nodded at Hua Jinchong, handing her a slightly warmed Silver Coin, "Take it, and go pay."

Her husband did have Silver Coin, but since the child was thoughtful, let her pay by herself, for one only cherishes spending their own money.

"Thank you, mom," gifting her mom a bright smile, Hua Jinchong took the money and quickly ran over to her dad, placing the Silver Coin in Li’s hand the moment her dad was about to pay.

"Uncle Li, use mine," Hua Jinchong grinned sweetly at Third Uncle Li, her smile softening even the heart of this nearly nine-foot tall man.

Looking at the fair, generous, cute, and sweet-talking little girl, he seemed to somewhat understand why Brother Hua would spoil the child like this.

If there was a child like this at home, he probably couldn’t help but spoil them either. Unfortunately, he only had a few rascals at home, who got themselves dirty every day, leaving him with a headache.

But this Silver Coin... Li hesitated, looking at Hua Chengtian.

Hua Chengtian was puzzled over his daughter producing a Silver Coin anyway.

Wondering how on earth could she have this much money?
