Xia Wan looked at him in confusion. “Even if it were someone else on the mountain, I would still remind them to go down the mountain as soon as possible, let alone you.
“I’m realizing that you always like to overthink things. Stop thinking about all those unnecessary things in the future. It’s a waste of brain space.”
Chen Mo could no longer smile.
He also realized that the charm he was so proud of was of no value to Xia Wan.
When other girls looked at him, they either admired him or liked him. In short, they all wanted a chance to talk to him to get closer.
However, when it came to Xia Wan, she always seemed to be in a hurry to cut off all ties with him.
This Xia Wan was very special, and she left a deep impression in Chen Mon’s heart.
“No matter what, I have to thank you,” Chen Mo said.
Xia Wan waved her hand nonchalantly. “Whatever. We’re even now. I saved you once, and you saved me once. It’s all good.
“I’m leaving, do as you please.” After Xia Wan finished speaking, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
Xia Wan quickly went down the mountain and went home to hide the wild ginseng. The Xia family hadn’t split up yet, and her eldest uncle and second uncle’s families were also living with them, so she had to protect this treasure.
She had just opened the door when she saw Xia Yu rummaging through her closet.
“Xia Yu! What are you doing?” Xia Wan roared.
This b*stard, Xia Yu was actually rummaging through her things when she wasn’t around and entered her room without asking her first. This was what a thief would do!
Seeing that Xia Wan had returned, Xia Yu did not panic at all. He looked at her in disdain. “I’m hungry. I don’t have anything to eat at my place. I heard that you need to nurture your body now, so your mother must have prepared something for you. Where is it? Hurry up and take it out, save me the trouble of looking for it. ”
Xia Wan was so angry that she laughed.
“Xia Yu, you also know that I need to nurture my body when I’m sick? Now, you’re here to snatch my nourishing food just because you’re hungry?”
As she spoke, Xia Wan glared at Xia Yu with hatred, which made Xia Yu feel a little afraid.
The more Xia Wan thought about it, the angrier she became.
At that time, the family was generally poor. The boys ate more, and the families did less work. The money earned by the three families had to be handed over to Li Jin, but how she spent it depended on her mood.
Li Jin had always been biased toward Xia Yu.
When Xia Wan was sick, all she wanted was an egg, but Li Jin wouldn’t even let her.
Xia Yu, on the other hand, could get an egg every day. Xia Wan also had older and younger brothers, but none of them were as lucky as Xia Yu. It was difficult enough to have eggs every two days.
Every time it was time to eat, Xia Yu would never be full and snatched other people’s food. Li Jin never scolded him when she saw this and instead acquiesced to his behavior.
Xia Yu said disdainfully, “You’re a girl. You don’t eat much, to begin with. I’m just afraid that you’ll waste it. Don’t be ungrateful. Hurry up and hand over the food.”
He started to stare at the basket on Xia Wan’s back. “What did you go up the mountain for? Did you look for food? Let me see if there’s anything good in there!”
As he spoke, he was about to snatch it from her. Xia Wan naturally wouldn’t let him get it, so she took a step back to avoid him.
“You must be hiding something. Otherwise, what are you hiding for?” Xia Yu laughed.
He was about to rush over again when a boy rushed into the room next door and nudged Xia Yu away with his body.
“You can’t bully my family. Get lost!”
Xia Wan looked at the small and scrawny guy standing in front of her. It was her brother, Xia Feng.
Her eyes reddened, and she subconsciously called his name. “Xia Feng.”
Xia Feng turned around and glanced at her. Then, his little face tensed up, and he turned around and went back into the house.
Xia Yu also stood up. He did not expect to be attacked by Xia Feng. His expression became ferocious, and he shouted, “Xia Feng, how dare you sneak up on me? I’ll show you what I’m capable of today!”
As he spoke, he was ready to go after Xia Feng.
Xia Wan’s face darkened.
She could tolerate it if they wanted to hit her, but if they wanted to hit her brother, Xia Yu would be finished!
Xia Wan picked up a book from the table and was about to throw it at Xia Yu when suddenly, somebody rushed in from outside and pounced on Xia Yu fiercely. He held Xia Yu in place and yelled, “You’re bullying my brother and sister in front of me? Xia Yu, I’ll beat you up today!”
Xia Wan saw the man clearly. He was tall, and his skin was a little dark due to his frequent exposure to the sun. He had short, neat hair that basically needed little care. His facial features were completely defined, and he was a handsome boy.
This was her eldest brother, Xia Chen. He was 20 and had graduated high school, but didn’t continue to study in college.
In this era, it was impressive enough if a village had one college student.
