Xia Wan paused deliberately before speaking, “Uncle Cheng, as you know, I’ve never been one to lie.”
“Alright, I won’t hide it from you,” Xia Wan admitted frankly, “My cousin got quite a bit of property from her fiancé.
“But now she’s in a sanatorium, and her fiancé’s whereabouts are unknown.” Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Cheng Mu was silent for a while.
“I heard that my uncle and aunt came this time at my cousin’s behest to bring back that property.
“Who knew they would have an accident and only just woke up today!”
“Are you saying your uncle’s family got Xia Ru’s fiancé’s property? How much?” Cheng Mu’s voice betrayed his greed.
“At least tens of thousands, maybe even more,” Xia Wan said uncertainly.
“I haven’t seen the money yet; my uncle’s family must have kept it.”
“Girl, are you sure your uncle’s family really got this money?” Cheng Mu asked for confirmation.
“Is there any doubt?” Xia Wan’s tone was confident, “I heard it myself from the people at the sanatorium!
“They saw it with their own eyes!”
“So what your uncle said wasn’t false?” Cheng Mu sounded surprised, “I thought he was avoiding me because he didn’t plan to repay the money he borrowed and had run away!”
“You misunderstand my uncle,” Xia Wan quickly explained, “They’ve been in the hospital all this time, unconscious. How could they possibly not repay your money?
“However, because of the accident, my uncle and aunt suffered some head injuries, and their minds aren’t very clear.
“They don’t remember the accident and even think that my cousin and I are to blame.
“Now, whenever they see our family, they act like we’re their enemies. “But still, they’re our relatives. If we don’t take care of them, who will?”
Cheng Mu went silent for a long time.
Xia Wan continued, “But our family is busy with the store and school; we really don’t have the capacity to take care of my uncle and aunt properly.
‘We thought about sending them back to the countryside, but they still need care, and there’s no one in the village to look after them… “It’s even harder to find a trustworthy person to hire for care.”
Xia Wan sighed.
Cheng Mu interjected timely, “Girl, don’t sigh!”
“Do you trust your Uncle Cheng?”
“You have been good to us since we were children; of course, I trust you!” Xia Wan’s voice was sincere.
“Then how about this: it’s inconvenient for your family to care for your uncle and aunt, so send them back here,” Cheng Mu suggested slowly.
“I’m alone and usually not busy. We’re all from the same village, so let me take care of them.”
“Is that appropriate?” Xia Wan asked, somewhat surprised.
“What’s inappropriate about it!” Cheng Mu responded decisively, “Wanwan, rest assured, I’m a reliable person. You can trust me with your uncle and aunt.”
Xia Wan’s face showed a cold smile, but her voice remained sweet, “Thank you so much, Uncle Cheng!”
“You taking care of my uncle and aunt… we’ll certainly pay for it. How about 500 yuan a month for their meals and care?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Mu’s voice trembled with excitement, but he feigned reluctance, “What are you talking about, money? We’ve been neighbors for decades; it’s no trouble at all!”
“Don’t say that, Uncle Cheng. We can’t short you a cent!” Xia Wan firmly insisted.
With Xia Wan’s assurance, Cheng Mu became even more eager, “You’ll be busy tomorrow. How about I come over later and take them back with me?”
“It’s not a good idea; they’re already asleep,” Xia Wan planned to refuse.
Cheng Mu persisted, “Don’t worry, I’ll borrow a car from the village chief and pick them up in a bit!
“You can trust me with them.”
After hanging up, Xia Wan turned to see Xia Chen and Xia Feng frowning at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Xia Wan also frowned.
“Are you really going to pay him 500 yuan a month to take care of our uncle and aunt?” Xia Chen voiced his doubt.
“Have you lost your mind?” Xia Feng bluntly expressed his opinion..
