What actually relieved Xia Wan was that the two police officers were not acquaintances; she didn't see them when she went to the police station to deliver the wanted criminal.

Fortunately, they didn't recognize her. Otherwise, if they knew she was a woman who could beat a wanted criminal, her feigned weakness would have been completely ineffective.

However, as the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. If those two policemen really knew her, then she would have other ways to deal with them.

In the following days, Wu Baoping kept his word, or perhaps he was just being cowardly and timid, as he was very proactive in buying food and fetching water.

Sometimes, even when Wu Zhaodi wanted to go in his place, he wouldn't let her, and he would wander around outside with a pig's face, which made Wu Zhaodi feel very sorry for him.

With her father about to be discharged from the hospital, Xia Wan thought about going out for a walk. She hadn't gone out for the past few days and hadn't earned a single point.

With so few points to my name, I'm sure I'll have even fewer opportunities to earn more once I get back to the village.

Thinking of this, Xia Wan looked at her father and said, "Old Xia, I'm going out for a walk."

Xia Jianguo put down his book and nodded: "Go ahead, Dad's fine here. You're so young, you must be getting bored staying in the ward all the time."

His daughter is at the age where she loves to play. She has been staying in the ward with him these past two days because she was worried that he would be bothered by those two people!

She knew to borrow a book from the nurse to keep him entertained, but her daughter could only chat with the nurses outside!

Xia Jianguo sighed inwardly, feeling truly sorry for his daughter!

"It's only been two days, consider it a rest."

To be honest, she didn't feel bored at all. Xia Wan used to be a homebody, and she could stay at home for ten days or half a month without getting bored.

However, back then, we had electronic products, which made things a bit better than they are now!

She glanced at Wu Baoping and Wu Zhaodi a few times, then beckoned to the former: "Wu Baoping, come here."

"What's wrong with my cousin?" Wu Baoping wasn't afraid to talk to Xia Wan anymore.

In the past few days, he had also realized that as long as he did not provoke Xia Jianguo, Xia Wan would not pay any attention to him and his aunt.

Xia Wan pointed to the stool next to her: "You stay here, I'm going out for a bit. Remember to take good care of my dad. He's a little upset when I get back, so watch out for your mischief!"

Wu Baoping nodded vigorously, trying to please her: "Hey, hey, cousin, don't worry, I will take good care of Uncle and make sure he doesn't suffer any grievances or lose a single hair."

Xia Wan nodded, as if she believed him, said goodbye to Xia Jianguo, and left the hospital.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets, but didn't encounter anyone who could contribute points to her.

However, she thought that since she was going back to the village, she would definitely need to buy some nutritional supplements and daily necessities. This time, she planned to stay at the Xia family's house to take care of her father. She would not go back to the educated youth's home, which would save her the trouble of having someone repair that storage room!

The things sent from Suzhou must have arrived a long time ago. She hasn't had time to pick them up these past few days, so she'll pick them up and take them back after Lao Xia is discharged from the hospital.

And you know what? There's quite a lot of stuff. Just the luggage she sent herself amounted to several large packages!

It's a bit inconvenient to carry so much stuff back.

Xia Wan pondered how to bring these things back, mainly because her father had difficulty walking.

I don't know how Wu Zhaodi and the other person got to the county. At that time, transportation was not convenient at all.

Just as Xia Wan was sighing, someone darted out from a nearby alley and bumped into her. Caught off guard, Xia Wan stumbled.

"Thief...he's a thief...catch him...help me..."

Before Xia Wan could even process what was happening, her hand had already grabbed the other person's collar.

"Thief?" He abruptly pulled the person back, staring at their face for a few moments. "Stealing someone's things?"

"Thank you... thank you... young comrade." Cai Guifang caught up breathlessly, thanking Xia Wan profusely.

The thief stole her bag, which contained all the factory's public funds. If she lost it, she would be demoted at best, and might even lose her life.

"You're welcome," Xia Wan said, but she had already given the thief a beating.

[Congratulations, host, you have earned 15 points from the Thief's Contribution, bringing your total to 27 points. Please keep up the good work!]

When Cai Guifang saw her action, her face froze for a moment. She thought to herself, "This little girl is really something. She should be beaten to death!"

"Young man, could you please take this thief to the police station for me?"

Xia Wan paused, wondering if she had been having too much of a connection with the police station lately.

Although he was going to deliver performance targets to the police officers, he was a little worried that he might run into those two police officers who were full of sympathy for him at the police station.

"Young man, thank you so much. This wallet contained our factory's public funds. Finding it for me is like saving my life. I will definitely repay you. But look at me... I just can't control him. So could you please take him to the police station for me?"

Cai Guifang gave an embarrassed smile. She really had no other choice. She certainly couldn't send this burly man to the police station, mainly because she was afraid the thief would escape.

If this thief isn't locked up, who knows how many people he'll harm in the future.

Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, let's go then."

"Thank you, young comrade. If you need any help in the future, you can always come to me. My name is Cai Guifang, and I am the accountant at the machinery factory."

Cai Guifang held his hand and thanked him repeatedly, which made Xia Wan feel a little embarrassed.

However, Xia Wan suddenly realized what she needed right now, so she didn't stand on ceremony: "You don't mind if I call you Aunt Cai, do you? You don't need to be so polite. If you really feel bad about it, then why don't you do me a favor?"

The aunt was hoping to help if she could, so they could be even.

If she can't help, then so be it; she'll think of another way herself.

"Tell me what you need help with, and I'll definitely help if I can!" Cai Guifang was overjoyed; how could she be afraid of not being able to help her benefactor?

Now that her benefactor has made a request, how could she refuse?

"Here's the thing, I want to buy a bicycle, but I don't have a bicycle voucher, so I wanted to ask Aunt Cai if you have any connections? You can name your price."

Xia Wan didn't mince words and brought it up openly. Anyway, she wasn't taking things for nothing, and there was nothing to be coy about since the transaction was settled.

When Cai Guifang heard that she wanted a bicycle, she immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, girl, I'll give you the bicycle as a way of repaying you."

She leaned closer to Xia Wan and whispered, "To be honest, I don't have a bicycle ticket, but I know how to buy one. Where do you live, young lady? I'll bring it to you later."
