Xia Wan wore an innocent expression: "This was vandalized by the Wu family, it has nothing to do with me."
She has indeed been a bit violent these past few days, so it's not surprising that she's being suspected. However, this time it really has nothing to do with her, so she needs to explain things clearly. She's not going to take the blame for this.
I wonder when the Wu family will come to compensate me. Wu Zhaodi has asked you to go back to your parents' home. When you come back, you will definitely bring up the matter of divorcing her father again. However, she doesn't have anything that can threaten Wu Zhaodi to agree to the divorce. What a pity!
Xia Wan's eyes lit up with thought, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Brother, I'll take care of this piece of meat for you today."
"Huh? Xiao Wan, can you cook? Actually, I can cook. How about I cook for you later?" He had heard that the educated youth were particularly bad at cooking. Xiao Wan was a city girl, could she really cook?
Xia Wan nodded and solemnly assured him, "Don't worry, brother, I promise I won't waste your flesh!"
She hadn't expected her brother to be able to cook, but she really had to cook this meal herself. Although her cooking wasn't as good as Grandma Wu's, it was still decent, at least much better than the Xia family's cooking.
Seeing that she had already said that, Xia Tao could only nod and say, "Okay."
He was a little reluctant to hand over the meat, feeling it was a pity to waste it.
On the contrary, Xia Jianguo's mind was not on the meat, but rather on the Wu family, when they mentioned them, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
After his daughter left, he told his son about what had happened that day: "Your grandpa hired some thugs to cause trouble for Xiaowan today, and he's been taken away by the police. Xiaowan's idea is to take this opportunity to transfer our household registration out of the city and ask for some compensation."
"Sending thugs to deal with Xiao Wan? That's outrageous! Where did my grandpa get to know those people?" Xia Tao's eyes widened, his face showing disbelief. His already dark face was now flushed red with anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, as if he wanted to crush them: "Xiao Wan is his own granddaughter! How could he be so heartless as to do such a cruel thing!"
Those are local thugs! What can they possibly do to a girl? It's all the same old stuff! How can Xiao Wan's reputation possibly be good now?
Xia Tao became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice unconsciously rising eight octaves, attracting the attention of the people in the courtyard who looked into the house. Old Mrs. Xia then launched into another round of veiled criticism.
Xia Jianguo sneered. He could be ruthless to his own son, let alone a granddaughter who hadn't grown up by his side.
Xia Tao suddenly glanced at the room opposite: "Is that Xia Shitou? Who else but that bastard could have contact with those people?"
His anger burned fiercely. Without waiting for his father's reply, he stormed out of the house and headed for the room opposite. Xia Tao kicked open the door to the room with the stone underneath, and before the person on the bed could react, he threw a punch at them.
"You beast! She's just a young girl, how could you use such despicable methods against her? That old man is senile, and so are you?"
"I'll beat you to death, you beast!"
He cursed as he continued his attack, his fists landing hard and leaving Xia Shitou powerless to resist, only able to scream and groan in pain!
The angry shouts startled everyone in the Xia family, and they all rushed into Xia Tao's house, trying to stop him.
"Xia Tao, you little beast, how dare you hit my son! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Taozi, stop right now! This has nothing to do with your brother!"
Xia Wan also heard the commotion and ran out of the kitchen. Naturally, he couldn't let them have a chance to stop Xia Tao. He stood at the door of Xia Shitou's room, preventing anyone from entering.
Only when Xia Shitou's voice grew weaker and weaker did he step forward and pull his older brother back.
"Alright, bro, don't kill him."
Xia Shitou's life is worthless; we can't let him implicate my brother.
Xia Tao was pulled up by his younger sister, and only then did he feel a sharp pain in his waist, probably because he had twisted it from exerting too much force.
However, seeing Xia Shitou lying on the bed like a dead dog, I immediately felt much better!
"Xia Tao, you little beast, I'm calling the police! Calling the police! You've committed murder!"
Li Cao rushed to her son's side. Seeing her son beaten so badly he couldn't get up, she was furious and yelled that she would call the police.
"Xia Jianjun, your son has been beaten like this, you good-for-nothing, what use are you? Go report this to the police right now, I want this little bastard to be sent to the plow!"
"Oh dear, my grandson, look how badly he's been beaten. Xia Wan is a menace. She just got my old man arrested by the police, and now she's messing with my grandson."
Grandma Xia sat on the ground and threw a tantrum, it was hard to tell whether she was genuinely distressed for her grandson or for her husband who had been arrested by the police.
This time, Xia Jiandang and his family didn't come in. They knew that Xia Wan was a troublemaker who could both cause trouble and resolve it, so they didn't dare to provoke him and even stayed far away.
"Go ahead and report it to the police. With what Xia Shitou has done, who knows who the police will arrest!"
This time, Xia Tao wasn't afraid of what they might say about reporting him to the police, nor did he care about his relatives or elders.
These people are really going too far. He realized that the reason things hadn't gotten to this point before was entirely because he and his father had been patient and tolerant, because they were foolish and had too much money.
Xia Tao left without paying attention to what the others were saying, and directly pulled his younger sister away.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry about them. Let them do what they want. These people just won't behave unless they're taught a lesson. It's good for the old man to suffer a bit in there."
Xia Tao feels uncomfortable whenever he mentions Old Man Xia now, and has completely lost the respect he used to have.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Xia Wan quickly ran to the kitchen: "Okay, I know, brother. You go and wait in Dad's room. There's meat stewing in the kitchen. I have to go check on it."
When she was using the kitchen just now, not a single member of the Xia family said a word. Did they think that the meat she cooked was for them?
Xia Wan found a small bag of flour in the cupboard. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for the three of them. They didn't hold back at all and used it all to make steamed buns.
When everything was ready to serve the rice, Xia Wan took out a health-strengthening pill from her spatial storage and put it into the meat soup.
She has already asked the system, and this will not reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
In the end, there wasn't a single thing left in the pot, and she even washed the pot herself, determined not to let those people get away with it!
Xia Wan and her family of three were enjoying their meal inside, while the atmosphere outside was unusually somber.
Despite Xia Shitou's severe injuries, his family only called the village doctor and did not take him to a hospital.
The village doctor examined him and said it was just a superficial injury, prescribed some ointment, and left.
Grandma Xia went straight back to her room, no one knew what she was plotting.
