Xia Wan returned to her ward after getting water, and as she walked to the door, she could hear her father's pleading voice!

"Wu Zhaodi, Xiaowan is your own daughter. Please don't be so harsh on her no matter what!" Xia Jianguo gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.

"What do you mean I'm mean? I haven't even looked down on you, you're criticizing me?" Wu Zhaodi pointed at Xia Jianguo with a mocking expression. "Xia Wan should be ashamed to have a father like you, who's bedridden all day!"

Xia Jianguo's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "Then you should treat her better, don't let her disappoint her biological parents! After all, she's the one you carried for ten months and gave birth to. You'll regret losing this daughter!"

"She's just a little girl, she'll get married eventually anyway. Getting her married now will save the family food." Wu Zhaodi pouted. "She grew up in the city, so we can ask for a bigger dowry!"

"Auntie, your daughter is so skinny, she won't fetch much money! But every little bit helps, so remember to give me some extra when you get the money. I'm twenty now, it's time for me to get married!"

Wu Baoping, standing by, was fanning the flames, already fantasizing about using Xia Wan's dowry to marry a beautiful wife for himself!

"Alright, alright, when the time comes, Auntie will pick a girl with a big bottom for Baoping, so she can give birth to a few more big, fat boys for our Wu family!"

Wu Zhaodi was all smiles when she was with her nephew, speaking without any restraint and completely ignoring Xia Jianguo!

"Wu Zhaodi! Don't even think about getting Xiaowan married, or I'll risk my life to divorce you! Then you can forget about getting a single penny from Taozi!" Xia Jianguo clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands, clearly furious to the extreme!

He felt utterly powerless and could only threaten Wu Zhaodi with money. The most ridiculous thing was that he didn't even earn the money!

Wu Zhaodi's current appearance is completely different from the timid and cowering figure she was when her mother-in-law pointed her finger at her and scolded her in Huaihua Brigade!

Xia Wan, who was listening outside the door, had her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes filled with icy coldness, and her face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Hearing her father's slightly humble voice, which suppressed his anger, she suppressed the urge to go in immediately.

Not wanting her father to see her at her most vulnerable, Xia Wan took a few steps away before speaking: "Dad... Old Xia... I added sugar to today's milk powder! I guarantee it will taste even better than the previous days."

Her voice betrayed no negative emotions, and Xia Jianguo, who heard her voice in the ward, also tried his best to control his facial expression, not wanting his daughter to notice anything amiss.

Xia Wan entered the ward, her eyes fixed straight ahead. She treated Wu Zhaodi as if she were invisible, showing no intention of acknowledging her at all.

"Old Xia, drink it while it's hot. I was worried the water was too hot, so I left it outside to cool for a while." Xia Wan handed over the cup, the lid open to release a rich milky aroma.

Xia Jianguo gave an awkward smile: "Okay... Dad will drink it now."

Seeing that Xia Wan ignored her, Wu Zhaodi looked at the water cup in Xia Jianguo's hand with heartache. That milk powder was a waste to give to that good-for-nothing Xia Jianguo!

"You brat, can't you see your mother is here? You can't even call her 'mother,' you have no manners at all!"

Wu Zhaodi felt smug. Her marriage to Xia Jianguo over the years hadn't been for nothing; she had even picked up some of the way city people spoke.

When Xia Jianguo was a truck driver, she was quite successful in the village. Back then, she had money and could often go to the city!

He specifically learned the way city people speak, feeling extremely powerful, and would occasionally say a few words in front of the villagers.

However, ever since Xia Jianguo became paralyzed, she has been bullied by her old woman and several sisters-in-law every day!

It's all Xia Jianguo's fault, that good-for-nothing! Wu Zhaodi gritted her teeth in hatred!

Wu Baoping, who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, was already craving food and had no desire to listen to his aunt's long-winded rambling!

He deliberately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Auntie, I haven't eaten yet! You promised my grandparents you would take good care of me when you came. I want to drink milk powder!"

"Alright, alright, Auntie will get you some formula." Wu Zhaodi spoke to her nephew in an extremely gentle voice. But when she turned to Xia Wan, she hurled insults at her!

"You brat, didn't you hear your cousin say he wanted milk powder? Hurry up and make him a bowl. It's such a waste to give such good milk powder to a slack person!"

Xia Wan never expected that this woman would be so shameless.

Seeing her father trembling with anger, barely able to hold his water glass, she could no longer control her temper!

Ignoring Wu Zhaodi's shouting, he closed the ward door and walked towards Wu Baoping.

"Xiao Wan, don't be impulsive..." Xia Jianguo called out to her anxiously.

However, Xia Wan didn't turn her head this time, as if she hadn't heard!

He slapped Wu Baoping across the face, and one side of his already chubby face swelled up instantly from the blow.

But that wasn't enough. Xia Wan's hands didn't stop moving at all, slapping her one after another!

"Ah... Auntie, save me..."

"Stop it! Xia Wan, stop it... You brat, that's your cousin!"

Wu Zhaodi's eyes were bloodshot with rage and she was both angry and anxious as she went to pull Xia Wan away.

Xia Wan continued to hit people with her arms outstretched, how could she be stopped?

"Stop it, you brat! You're just as useless as your paralyzed father!" Wu Zhaodi couldn't stop her, but she kept talking.

"Ah... Auntie, save me... Stop it, don't hit me!"

The ward was filled with screams and curses. As they continued to shout, Xia Wan's hands kept moving.

Wu Zhaodi's cursing became more and more intense, and Xia Wan's beating became more and more forceful.

She kept getting injections until her face was bleeding, but then she thought it was dirty and moved to another spot to continue!

Xia Jianguo was stunned by the situation. He looked at this person and that person, and suddenly felt a little happy, but he was also worried that his daughter would be taken advantage of. However, he did not know who to advise in this situation.

"Bao Men Bao Men Wo Po Le, Ba Da La, Ba Da La, Wo Po Le..."

It wasn't until Wu Baoping repeatedly and incoherently admitted his mistakes that Xia Wan finally spoke up: "Wu Baoping, listen to this, from now on, every time your aunt insults my dad, I'll beat you up. You won't be beaten until your aunt stops insulting him!"

"Waaaaah... Dagu, pig pants!"

"I'm not cursing anymore, I'm not cursing anymore, you bastard... no, Xia Wan, stop it!"

Xia Wan stopped what she was doing, rubbed her wrist, and without even glancing at Wu Zhaodi, sat down directly next to her father's hospital bed!

"Old Xia, let me tell you, I'm a professional at teaching scoundrels a lesson. From now on, you can leave these kinds of things to me and let me handle them! If I don't teach them a lesson, then I've wasted all my strength!"

So stop humbling yourself and swallowing your pride for my sake, it breaks my heart to see you like this!
