56 Arguing With Li Hai
Li Hai was just about to say something to describe himself in a more miserable way, but Xia Wan had already spoken and told him everything. If she said anything more that didn’t match Xia Wan’s words, she was obviously making things up.
Li Hai looked at Xia Wan unhappily. “You’re the only one with a big mouth. Why didn’t you come out and argue with those people when they came to bully us?”
Xia Wan pretended to be confused and looked at Li Hai, “Grandma, you’re wrong. This has nothing to do with me. Liu s.h.i.+’s family only caused trouble for our family because of Xia Ru. It’s her fault. How am I involved?”
Xia Wan pursed her lips and pretended to be aggrieved. “Grandma, how can you treat me like this? Xia Ru made a mistake, and I’m the one who’s being scolded. When I went out today, I even heard the aunts at the village entrance saying that Liu s.h.i.+ was the one who spread the rumors about me seducing men.
“I didn’t expect Liu s.h.i.+ to be in a relations.h.i.+p with Xia Ru. Grandma, if they are so close, does Xia Ru know about Liu s.h.i.+’s intentional rumors and bad-mouthing about me in the village?”
“Xia Ru is my cousin. Shouldn’t she stop Liu s.h.i.+ from spreading rumors behind my back?”
Li Hai didn’t know about this. Now that Xia Wan had asked her, she was dumbfounded.
“I… I didn’t know about this. Why didn’t you mention it before? Besides, if Liu s.h.i.+’s family came to find us, does that mean that Xia Ru and Liu s.h.i.+ are together? Other people don’t believe in your cousin, but you don’t believe in her? How can you say that about your cousin?”
Li Hai immediately retorted, but she still seemed a little unconfident.
After a few days of observation, she realized that Xia Wan didn’t seem like the type to hook up at will. However, Xia Hai didn’t pay Xia Wan her salary because she was sick. This only made her dislike Xia Wan even more.
Even though she was angry with Xia Ru, she was still more biased towards Xia Ru than Xia Wan. Naturally, she would take Xia Ru’s side.
Xia Wan sneered in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She still pretended to be pitiful, “Grandma, you really believe my cousin, don’t you? Even when everyone in the village criticized her, you still protected her. When will I be protected by you too?”
Seeing how aggrieved his daughter was, even though Xia Hai was very filial to Li Hai, he couldn’t help saying, “Mother, don’t say so much. Wanwan is still sick, so please don’t say anything that will upset her.”
Seeing that the usually docile and obedient Xia Hai dared to question her, Li Hai immediately shouted, “Fine! So you’re only thinking of protecting your daughter and not me, right? Someone pushed me, and I’m still feeling uncomfortable. It’s fine if you don’t come to help, but now you’re making sarcastic remarks. Hurry up, give me some money and let me see a doctor.”
Xia Wan was shocked at Li Hai’s shamelessness. She was already acting so aggrieved, yet Li Hai could still pretend she didn’t see her and even dared to ask her father for money.
Thus, Xia Wan made up her mind and looked like she was about to faint. Xia Hai quickly held her up. “Wanwan, what’s wrong, Wanwan?”
Xia Wan held her head. “Dad, my head hurts. My heart is beating so fast, and my breathing is a little short. Dad, I think my illness has gotten worse.”
Xia Hai didn’t know that Xia Wan was acting and immediately panicked. Wanwan, hang in there. I’ll go get Doctor Niu to take a look at you.
Xia Wan held her head weakly and looked at Li Hai, “Grandma, Grandpa left a lot of notes and medical books when he was alive, and there are symptoms similar to what I’m suffering now. You’re illiterate, so can you leave these books for me? If I learn to read, my family can ask me to help them treat their illnesses directly. This way, they won’t need to see Doctor Niu anymore. It’ll save money.”
Li Hai was in a dilemma. She did not want to give Xia Wan anything, but looking at how upset she was, she did not know what she would do if she didn’t give her anything. Hence, she reluctantly took out the notes and some books she did not understand and stuffed them all into Xia Wan’s hands. “Take them. If you’re sick in the future, treat yourself. Don’t waste money. You said it yourself. If you fall sick, I don’t have any money to pay you.”
