“Don’t worry!” Xia Wan happily crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa.
“The money spent will naturally come back to us! ”
Xia Chen and Xia Feng exchanged glances, but their brows did not relax because of this.
“Why choose Uncle Cheng to take care of things, even if it costs money?” Xia Feng still didn’t understand. “He is greedy and stingy. Aren’t you afraid he’ll take your money and not do the job?”
“He’s not interested in that, ” Xia Wan shrugged.
“Are you talking about the tens of thousands of yuan that Uncle mentioned just now?” Xia Chen seemed to understand the meaning of Xia Wan’s words, but soon rejected this idea. “But they don’t have that money!”
“We don’t need to verify whether they have it or not,” Xia Wan got up and walked towards the room where Xia Jiang and Song Yan were staying. “1 need to make some preparations before Uncle Cheng arrives.”
“What preparations?” Xia Chen and Xia Feng followed her.
Xia Wan took out silver needles and pricked the Shen Ting and Bai Hui acupoints on Xia Jiang and Song Yan before withdrawing her hands.
“What is this for?” Xia Feng asked, puzzled.
“To keep them from talking nonsense,” Xia Wan hung small sachets around the necks of Xia Jiang and Song Yan.
Xia Wan stood up, clapped her hands, and looked relaxed. “All done.”
“Wait, you were only halfway through speaking,” Xia Feng stopped Xia Wan again.
Xia Wan brushed off Xia Feng’s hand blocking her and strode outside.
After a few steps, Xia Wan turned back to Xia Chen and Xia Feng: “I won’t let anyone who tries to harm my parents get away.”
Xia Wan’s tone was icy cold, making Xia Chen and Xia Feng involuntarily hold their breath.
“They are also my relatives. I won’t personally do anything to them,” Xia Wan continued. “However, if they plant evil seeds, they must bear the consequences for their actions.”
“Cheng Mu is greedy, so let them be valuable enough for him to covet.”
“When his greed becomes uncontrollable, their retribution will come!”
Xia Chen watched Xia Wan, opened his mouth to say something, but held back.
Cheng Mu arrived quickly, bringing the village chief and his eldest son with him.
“Girl, we’ve come to take your uncle and his wife home,” Cheng Mu cheerfully knocked on the Xia family’s door.
Xia Wan put on an obedient face: “Uncle Cheng, thank you for making this trip with the village chief.”
“It’s no trouble at all!” Cheng Mu’s smile deepened.
“How are they? Are your uncle and his wife ready?” Cheng Mu looked into the house.
Xia Wan sighed, “They just came up here making a fuss, wanting to fight us. I had no choice but to feed them some pills from the hospital, and now they’ve fallen asleep again, probably won’t wake up for a while!”
“They can’t wake up?” Cheng Mu’s voice elongated. “Then it’s good, easier to take them back.”
Cheng Mu finished speaking and beckoned the village chief and his son to come in and carry Xia Jiang and Song Yan out.
After settling them in the car, the village chief and his son got into the car first.
Cheng Mu stood outside the car, looking at Xia Wan, who seemed to have something to say.
Xia Wan quickly realized something and clapped her hands. “Look at me, Uncle
Cheng, here’s 500 yuan, take it for now.”
Cheng Mu immediately refused the money in Xia Wan’s hand. “Ah! Why be so formal! This is what we as fellow villagers should do!”
Cheng Mu profusely refused, but his fingers had already pinched the blue bills.
Xia Wan’s face showed gratitude. “Uncle Cheng, sending my uncle and aunt away is something we younger generation discussed. My parents don’t know
yet…”
“Don’t worry! I won’t say a word more than necessary!” Cheng Mu immediately assured her and smoothly took the money from Xia Wan’s hand.
Xia Wan seemed not to notice Cheng Mu had already taken the money, still maintaining her previous posture. “Then I’ll leave my uncle and aunt in your care, Uncle Cheng!”
“Contact me anytime if you need anything!” Xia Wan emphasized again.
Cheng Mu nodded vigorously.
He turned to get into the car, but just as he stepped up, he turned back around.
“Girl, do you know where your uncle’s money is?” Cheng Mu hesitated before asking.
Xia Wan helplessly shook her head: “They’re guarding against us now, how could they easily tell us where the money is!”
“Besides, it’s several…” Xia Wan was cut off as Cheng Mu pressed down her hand.
“Okay! I got it!” Cheng Mu immediately responded and then turned to get into the car.
Xia Wan knew Cheng Mu was afraid the village chief and others would hear about Xia Jiang’s tens of thousands in property!
