85 Xia Hai’s Concern
“Alright, I’ll trust you this once for the sake of your grandfather. If my son’s illness isn’t cured, you’ll be the one to pay!”
Liu Hua left these harsh words before leaving with her people.
Although she wanted to get some benefits from the Xia family, her son was still her biggest concern. If Liu Shi’s illness could be cured, that would be the best.
While Xia Wan was talking to Liu Hua, Li Jin followed behind. She thought Liu Hua would’ve definitely scolded Xia Wan with her bad temper and didn’t expect her to leave after hearing only a few words from Xia Wan and Xia Chen.
Li Jin felt a little unhappy for some reason. She should be happy that Liuhua had left and would no longer cause trouble for their family.
After settling Liu Hua’s matter, Xia Wan and Xia Chen felt much more relaxed. Yan Han was even happier. Her daughter had fought for her rights, and she would no longer have to help the other two families with work in the future. In her happiness, their dishes became much more sumptuous. Not only did they have scrambled eggs, but they even made some stir-fried meat with celery.
Xia Feng was the youngest, and he couldn’t help but drool at the smell of the meat. Ever since he stopped eating with his grandmother and the others, the food in his family only seemed to get better.
Xia Hai came back just in time for dinner. Seeing that he was back so late, Xia Wan knew that he must have gone to work part-time again.
Xia Wan said helplessly, “Dad, didn’t I tell you not to work part-time anymore? Brother and I have already gotten some goods from the city, and we will sell them tomorrow. We can make money. You don’t have to work so hard.”
Xia Hai smiled. hehe, “I’ve already accepted the job. If I leave now, the boss won’t be able to find a replacement so quickly. Don’t worry. I’ve already told him I’ll leave once he finds someone.”
Xia Wan knew that her father still didn’t want to give up the opportunity to make money. But it didn’t matter. Tomorrow, when she showed her father the money she made, he would be at ease.
Xia Wan picked up a piece of meat for Xia Hai. “Dad, eat more. You work the hardest in the family. Take care of your health so you can keep making money.”
Xia Hai smiled happily. It was said that daughters were like cotton jackets. How true this saying was. Look at his two sons. They were like pieces of wood.
Yan Han looked at Xia Wan worriedly. Wanwan, I heard you made some conditions with your grandma when you handed over the prescription today. She’s already unhappy with our family, and now that you’ve made a scene with Liu Hua, your grandma will definitely hold a grudge against us.”
Although Xia Wan and Li Jin had signed an agreement that Yan Han didn’t need to work for the other two families in the future, Yan Han didn’t have the guts to go against Li Jin. In this era, if a daughter-in-law talked back to her mother-in-law or made her mother-in-law work, others would presume that something was wrong with her. She would be considered unfilial, and it would completely ruin her reputation.
Xia Wan understood Yan Han’s concerns, and she consoled her. “Mom, that was also what I wanted to tell you. In the future, if you’re the only one when you’re working in the fields, you’ll only have to take care of our family’s plots. If the three families’ plots need to be weeded, but the two aunties refuse, then you don’t have to either. No matter what reason they give you, just don’t work in the fields. Then wait for me to come home. I have a way to deal with them.”
Xia Wan really wanted Yan Han to learn how to act. For example, when Li Jin bullied her, she would make herself look like he had been wronged to attract the sympathy of the neighbors. However, Yan Han was already so old, and she was of a very simple nature. How could she possibly do such things? Hence, the simplest way was to let Yan Han postpone the problem and leave the rest to her to deal with.
Yan Han had no choice but to agree to Xia Wan’s request.
At night, Xia Wan went back to her room to sleep. She was really tired, so she fell asleep quickly. Yan Han and Xia Hai, on the other hand, had a small meeting again.
Xia Hai’s face was full of worry. “Although I said I’m supportive of Wanwan’s business, I’m still afraid. Do you think I should go with Wanwan to set up her stall in the city tomorrow?”
Yan Han glared at him. “You’re worrying for nothing. Don’t you trust Wanwan enough? Besides, Xia Chen’s with her, so what can happen? Although he doesn’t usually eat as well as Xia Yu, he’s really strong. He can even fight three people at once. If you’re worried about Wanwan, let Xia Feng go with her tomorrow.”
Even though Yan Han said that, she was actually quite worried. Furthermore, since Xia Hai had taken the initiative to bring up this matter, Yan Han could not put her heart at ease.
Xia Wan woke up the next day to see Xia Hai and Yan Han in an anxious state.
