82 Xia Wan Has a Solution
Xia Ru hoped Xia Jiang had simply said those things out of anger. However, when she saw the disgust in his eyes, she knew that he was serious.
She felt a little dispirited. Before this, she was clearly the existence that everyone in the family praised. Why did everyone treat her like this now?
Xia Ru felt a little resentful. These people were her family!
Xia Wan looked at Xia Ru from the window without sympathy.
In her previous life, Xia Ru had an engagement with her grandfather. However, knowing that the other party came from a good family background, she tricked her into giving her a token. After seducing that man, Xia Ru even got him to repress her family. Her family was obviously very hardworking, but because they were targeted, no one was willing to engage them. No one was even willing to harvest the food their family grew, citing problems with it.
At that time, she was even more desperate than Xia Ru.
If it weren’t for her master, who taught her medical skills and gave her a foothold, she would have been destroyed by Xia Ru.
Now, Xia Ru was just being reprimanded by Xia Jiang. She knew very well that he wasn’t about to really allow his daughter to marry Liu Shi.
After a bout of sadness, Xia Ru suddenly thought of something. She begged Xia Jiang, “Father, there’s another way. Didn’t Xia Wan say she could cure my illness? As long as we use her method, Liu Shi and the others can no longer threaten us. At most, we’ll just send them some eggs, and this matter will be resolved.”
Xia Jiang was also slightly surprised. He had completely forgotten about Xia Wan.
Xia Wan’s presence at home was really low, and no one in the family believed her when she said she had studied medicine.
However, Xia Ru was right. Even if there was a slight chance, they should not waste it. After all, he did not want to lose money, and he surely didn’t want Xia Ru to get married so casually.
“Alright, I’ll go ask her now.” As Xia Jiang spoke, he prepared to go out and look for her.
Xia Wan pushed the door open and said with a smile, “Uncle, you don’t have to look for me. I’m here. I wanted to see how Xia Ru was doing. I happened to overhear your conversation. I thought you didn’t believe I had a way to cure Xia Ru’s illness?”
She then looked at Li Jin and asked in confusion, “Grandmother, why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you supposed to say that I’m talking nonsense and I have no way to cure Xia Ru?”
Being interrogated by Xia Wan so directly, Li Jin felt herself losing face.
This granddaughter that she usually looked down on the most actually dared to question her now.
Li Jin snorted coldly. “Don’t be smug in front of me. Don’t think we’ll believe you just because you said you have the prescription. With your measly ability, how could I not know?”
Xia Wan blinked. “Is that so? If you don’t believe me, then give the money to Liu Hua and the others. They’re still waiting outside, and though they stared at you for a long time, you said that you couldn’t cure her without money. Grandma, do you believe our family can forget about working in the future?
“My dad and my two uncles can’t work anymore. The boss will definitely be angry and won’t pay them their salaries.”
“If Xia Ru’s illness causes our family to lose money, we’ll lose more than a thousand yuan.”
Even though Li Jin didn’t like Xia Wan, the girl’s analysis still managed to shake her.
Even if her three sons had their own selfish motives and did not give her all their money, at least she still had some to take.
If they lost their jobs, she would have no income.
“No, we can’t just let Liu Hua gamble at the door. Xia Wan, if you have the prescription, just take it out. We believe you,” Li Jin immediately changed her attitude and said to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan casually sat on a nearby stool and said arrogantly, “Grandma, that’s not the attitude you should have when you’re asking for help.”
Li Jin was intimidated by her attitude and almost subconsciously scolded her, I’m your grandmother, you damned girl. How dare you talk to me like that?!”
