Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Xing was very dissatisfied and unwilling, but she could not say anything in front of Zhou Xiaorou. She could only twitch the corners of her mouth and sagy, “No need, I still have clothes to wear, so I don’t need new ones. Besides, these clothes shouldn’t be cheap, and I’ll be embarrassed to spend so much of your money. I’ll just wear whatever that suit my status.”
Xia Wan didn’t miss the emotion in Luo Xing’s eyes. She knew very well that some people were heartless. You showed kindness to her, but to the other party, it was an insult to her.
Luo Xing was this kind of person. In order to take care of her, Zhou Xiaorou wanted to buy her clothes. However, to Luo Xing, Zhou Xiaorou’s words were a reminder that she was born poor and did not have the ability to buy clothes on her own.
Luo Xing’s life was not as good as Zhou Xiaorou’s, but she had a strong sense of self-esteem and would not allow herself to accept charity.
She had been by Zhou Xiaorou’s side all year round, taking care of her daily needs. Seeing her family live such a happy life, the resentment in Luo Xing’s heart grew deeper and deeper. She wanted to tear apart Zhou Xiaorou’s beauty.
While Xia Wan was gesturing with Zhou Xiaorou, she was also quietly observing the changes in Luo Xing’s emotions, and she saw all the changes in her eyes. She felt that perhaps after today’s events, Luo Xing would not be able to resist taking the next step.
Zhou Xiaorou looked around Xia Wan’s stall for a long time and finally bought five pieces of clothing. Luo Xing had never agreed to Zhou Xiaorou buying clothes for her.
In the afternoon, about a quarter of the clothes had been sold. After the three of them cleaned up the stall, they placed the remaining garments in Zhao Jin’s shop.
Xia Wan was now willing to sell to Zhao Jin, which was a sign of reconciliation. At the same time, because of the popularity of Xia Wan’s clothes, Zhao Jin’s business also improved.
Therefore, Zhao Jin’s attitude towards Xia Wan and the others got better and better. Sometimes, when he saw that Xia Wan and the others were busy, he would even take the initiative to pour them a drink.
The three of them were on their way home after dinner, but before they reached the door, they heard a commotion coming from inside.
“It’s all because of you, you jinx. Look at the good sons and daughters you’ve raised. They’re not at home all day. You spend all the money my son earned. Now he’s injured because of you!”
Li Jin was cursing and swearing, and at the same time, Yan Han’s aggrieved and choked voice could be heard.
“Mother, Xia Hails wrist is injured. If you want to scold me, do it later. Let’s take him to the hospital now, okay?”
Li Jin snorted in disdain. “Send him to the hospital? I don’t have that much money on hand. Surgery is so expensive. If you want to send him to the hospital, you have to pay first. Xia Wan and the others should have earned quite a bit these days. It should be enough for Xia Hail s surgery.
“They sell clothes every day. It’s impossible for them to have so much money. Just tell me where you hid the money and hand it over to me. I’ll take Xia Hai to the hospital now. I’ll cover your expenses.”
Yan Han’s voice became even more urgent. “Look at the situation now. My family really doesn’t have any hidden money. Please, let me take Xia Hai to the hospital first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it after his wrist is healed, okay?”
Xia Wan couldn’t hold it in any longer. She kicked the door open and saw a scene that made her so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Her father, Xia Hai, was sitting on the ground. There was a ladder in front of him. His wrist was bleeding, and he looked like he was in pain.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Xia Wan immediately went to Xia hails side and checked his wound.
Based on what had happened under the ladder, it could be inferred that Xia Hai had been repairing the roof when he accidentally fell. When he fell to the ground, he had injured his wrist, and now his entire hand was twisted.
Xia Wan’s heart ached as she looked at him. She glared at Li Jin..
