"No...it has nothing to do with me, I didn't send them to cause trouble..."

Wu Baoping's voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz; you couldn't hear it unless you listened very carefully.

The captain was furious. He was already of marriageable age, how could he not understand a single word? "I'm asking you, regarding what happened at the hospital, did the police tell you to apologize to Xia Wan?"

Wu Baoping nodded vigorously, no longer daring to utter nonsense: "Yes...yes, I apologize..."

Nothing else matters, but he's mainly afraid that Xia Wan, that crazy woman, might go berserk again and beat him up.

"Since you've already apologized, what did you say when you got home? Why did you still send your parents to cause trouble?"

Wu Baoping shook his head so hard it was practically a rattle drum: "No...it wasn't me who said it, it was my aunt who said it!"

“Baoping, why do you say that? Didn’t your grandparents see the injury on your face and ask me about it?” Wu Zhaodi quickly explained when she saw that her nephew had betrayed her so quickly.

She still remembered how Xia Jianguo wanted to divorce her because of that brat Xia Wan, and she couldn't let Bao Ping's words make the divorce situation irreversible!

"That's not how the captain said it. Even putting aside what happened at the hospital, our whole family has been beaten by Xia Wan. How do you explain that?"

Old Wu wasn't as agitated as the others; he was still able to calmly consider the problem: "We can't let this beating go unpunished; Xia Wan still has to pay for our medical expenses!"

Xia Wan was naturally unwilling, shaking her head and saying, "I can't give it to you. If you hadn't come here to cause trouble, would I have hit you? Besides, you were all smashed by Wu Baoping, what does it have to do with me?"

"You... wasn't that Bao Ping you threw? That's why it hit us!" Old Wu was so angry with Xia Wan that he could hardly breathe, and he had to cover his chest to speak.

Xia Wan clicked her tongue twice, thinking to herself how fragile this old man was, yet he didn't hold back at all when he said those words, he was just infuriating.

"Hey, don't act like I hit you so badly. What injuries do you have? What medical expenses do you need? It's just that you have this problem with breathing so hard that you need to go to the hospital to get it checked out. But there's no reason for you to ask me for money. You'll have to ask your son!"

Even the captain couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that Old Man Xia would be angered to death by Xia Wan, so he looked at Old Man Wu and changed the subject: "You're only causing trouble today because Xia Wan hit Wu Baoping?"

He thought the family was causing trouble because of Xia Jianguo and Wu Zhaodi's divorce, but he didn't expect there was another reason.

From this perspective, they didn't really care much about Wu Zhaodi and Xia Jianguo's divorce.

Old Wu seemed to have just remembered that his daughter wanted a divorce: "There's another thing. My Zhaodi came home crying today, saying that Xia Jianguo doesn't want her anymore! These two have been together for half their lives, why did she suddenly think about divorce? Is it because of something that girl Xia Wan said?"

He deliberately wanted to drag Xia Wan into this matter. If Xia Jianguo really liked his daughter, he wouldn't actually divorce Wu Zhaodi just to prevent rumors from spreading.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for his daughter, but rather that he felt sorry for the benefits he wouldn't get after the divorce.

You know, since our daughter married into the family, the money we've brought home over the years could have built a row of brick houses.

Xia Jianguo was not about to let him talk nonsense: "It has nothing to do with Xiaowan. You should ask Wu Zhaodi what she has been doing all these years."

Since I became paralyzed, Wu Zhaodi has never taken care of me except by bringing me food. Over the years, she has moved into a separate room and started sleeping in a separate room from me.

She often says I'm a burden to him, so I'll just let him go and get a divorce.

Old Wu's face was grim. He never expected that his daughter had already moved into a separate room from Xia Jianguo. She was incredibly stupid, not even bothering to put on a show!

"How did things come to the point of divorce? For so many years, Zhao Di has been taking care of you when Xia Tao went out to work. You can't just forget how good Zhao Di was to you now that your own daughter is back."

Xia Wan smiled upon hearing this: "So it was my mother who took care of him all these years? Then we really misunderstood her? But my brother said he's been giving Grandma and the others a lot of money over the years, asking them to take care of my dad, could it be..."

As she spoke, she looked at the Xia family members who were watching the commotion, her face full of doubt and suspicion.

She wanted to make it clear today so that people wouldn't have anything to say about her in the future. Over the years, whether it was the Xia family or Wu Zhaodi, they had all taken money for the little bit of care they gave to Old Xia!

“My dear niece, don’t misunderstand. I don’t know about others, but I’m doing this for the money. I’ve taken care of you a lot over the years, haven’t I, brother?” Xia Jiandang explained with a smile that he had done something in return for the money he received.

How could he not understand Xia Wan's meaning, and he knew why she was saying this now? But he wasn't afraid of what others would say, since his reputation in the village was already bad!

Making money and having enough to eat are the most important things!

There have been quite a few people who have taken money from Xia Jianguo over the years, but only he has truly taken care of them wholeheartedly. He used the money to do real work, and he felt no guilt about taking the money.

He dared to say that Wu Zhaodi hadn't been taken care of as much as he had, even though he used to take care of her by cleaning up her excrement and urine!

Xia Jianguo sighed, nodded slightly in agreement with Xia Jiandang's words, and seemed to find it quite funny, unable to help but chuckle.

Old Wu tried to salvage the situation: "Zhao Di has suffered a lot in your Xia family! She earns a lot of work points every day and does a lot of housework. You can't erase all her years of hard work because of a small matter!"

Over the years, apart from taking benefits from their daughter, they have never cared about her in-laws' affairs. They never imagined that their daughter would behave so badly towards Xia Jianguo.

Xia Jianguo scoffed. Doing so much housework had nothing to do with him; it was all done for the Xia family. Perhaps the only kindness shown to this good-for-nothing was delivering meals.

That was when the third brother wasn't home. The rest of the Xia family were unwilling to deliver things to him, so Wu Zhaodi was forced to enter his room.

"He only cares about taking good things from his wife's family and doesn't care how his own family is doing. Since he misses his wife's family so much, he should go back to his wife's family."

"There's no reason for me to support my wife and her entire family after I've married her. If she didn't have any brothers, that would be one thing, but she has three younger brothers. There's no reason for me, her son-in-law, to be responsible for my father-in-law's old age."

Since they themselves have no shame, he decided to lay everything bare without any reservations, since he hadn't done anything to wrong Wu Zhaodi over the years.

If she hadn't been so willing to please her in-laws, she wouldn't have had to do so much work every day!
