Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m going to treat my dad now. If I find out that you’re the ones who injured my dad, I won’t let you off!”
Xia Wan then said to Xia Chen and Xia Feng, “Hurry up and help dad. Don’t let him worry. I’ll go and borrow a car from Mr. Zhang.”
As soon as Xia Wan walked out of the door, the Mr. Zhang she was talking about came over on his tricycle.
“Good kid, I heard the commotion at your house and found out that Xia Hai was injured. Quick, I’ll give you the tricycle. You should take him to the doctor.”
There were also other kind-hearted neighbors around. Those who had bicycles offered to take Xia Wan’s family to town.
Just like that, Xia Wan and the others rushed to the hospital as fast as they could with the help of some kind-hearted people.
At this moment, Li Jin and the others were standing at home. Li Jin was still cursing.
“I’m not going with them. I’ll see how they’re going to pay. If they have the money to pay, it means that Xia Wan has hidden the money. She hasn’t handed over all the money she earned today to the family.”
“If she doesn’t have the money to pay, she’ll definitely come back and beg me. By then, I’ll still be the master of this family and let them know who’s the boss in this family.”
Xia Ye had long been dissatisfied with Xia Wan. After hearing Li Jin’s words, she immediately said, “Grandma, you’re so smart. Third uncle only has a wrist injury, and he can be cured anytime if he wants to. We can use this opportunity to see if Xia Wan is telling you the truth.”
Mr. Zhang, who had borrowed the tricycle, was still standing near the door.
The other neighbors hadn’t left either. After hearing Li Jin’s family’s words, Mr. Zhang couldn’t help but frown and say, “Li Jin, the one who’s injured is your son, Xia Hai. Don’t you have eyes? Can’t you see how seriously he’s injured?”
“I’ve watched Xia Hai grow up. He’s been able to endure hardships since he was young. Back then, his face was so wrinkled and he was on the verge of tears. It was obvious hw painful his injuries were, but he endured it.
“He fell from such a high place and hit the ground hard. I’ll be honest with you, his hands are most likely crippled. Even if he can move them normally in the future, he won’t be able to do heavy work. ”
“Your son is so seriously injured that one of his hands will be disabled in the future, but you still remember whether his daughter gave you the money. Li Jin, you are his mother. Isn’t he your son?”
When the other neighbors saw that Mr. Zhang took the initiative to speak, they also expressed their dissatisfaction.
“That’s right. If my son was injured, my first reaction would be to send him to the hospital. I wouldn’t have the time to scold my daughter-in-law.”
“Li Jin, your family isn’t short of money. Your three sons’ salaries are handed to you every month. We all know what kind of life you’ve been through all these years. Xia Hai has been especially filial to you. Just based on this alone, you shouldn’t be discussing money, now that he’s injured.”
“That’s right. Your son is already injured to such an extent, yet you’re still here scheming against him? You’re not worried about him at all. What kind of mother are you?”
“People say that filial piety is the most important thing. Xia Hai is filial to you, but what about you? you don’t care about him at all. You’re so cold to him. No wonder xiahai said that he wanted to move out with you. I would have moved out long ago if I had a mother like you.”
Li Jin had never been one to be wronged. Now that everyone was pointing their finger at her, she directly put her hands on her hips and rebuked everyone.
“This is our family’s business! What does it have to do with you? Xia Hai is not your son. It’s only right for me to teach my son a lesson. When did you have the right to interfere with our family’s business?
“If you’re so generous, then you should have paid for his medical expenses.
You’re not even offering any practical benefits. All you know is to talk about
other people’s family affairs. Did we feed on your rice or drink your water?
“You haven’t even settled your own family’s problems, yet you still have the face to meddle in ours? I don’t even want to mention your problems.”
Li Jin’s words made everyone very unhappy, but they all knew her personality. When her temper flared up, she would dare to say anything. They had been neighbors for so many years, and embarrassing things had happened in every family. So when they saw Li Jin start to make a scene, they didn’t say anything more to her and chose to leave..
