After a moment's hesitation, Xia Jianguo slowly opened his mouth and said, "As soon as this house is habitable, our family will move in immediately."
As he said this, a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of hesitation.
At this moment, he didn't actually have any intention of immediately taking revenge on the Xia family.
He felt incredibly pleased with what his precious daughter had been doing lately.
As for the grudges he had incurred in his previous life, perhaps only after his injured leg is fully healed will he be able to rekindle his desire for revenge.
Unable to take revenge themselves, they're just watching for fun.
Xia Wan and Xia Tao, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement almost without hesitation when they heard their father say this.
For them, being able to move away from the Xia family home as soon as possible is undoubtedly a good thing.
Over time, Xia Tao had grown tired of spending every day at Old Xia's house.
As for Xia Wan, although no one dares to provoke her easily now, there are countless annoying little troubles around her.
At this moment, Xia Tao picked up a towel that had just been soaked in water and handed it to his father, saying, "Dad, I'll go ask Brother Dazhuang tomorrow when we can move into the new house."
Xia Wan stood to the side, nodding repeatedly, clearly eager to move out.
Just then, as if remembering something important, she suddenly turned around, faced Xia Tao, and said earnestly:
"Brother, when you go with the captain to catch thieves today, don't be surprised if you see any familiar faces from our team! Remember to tell the captain that he absolutely cannot protect them."
Hearing his sister's words, Xia Tao frowned, staring at her suspiciously for a while before asking, "Xiao Wan, do you know something? Why are you suddenly saying such things?"
Xia Wan's expression turned unusually serious. She nodded vigorously and lowered her voice, saying, "I overheard those thugs mentioning the name Wu Guangli before, although I'm not sure if he'll be involved today."
But just in case, if you do run into him, you must remind the captain to hand him over to the police as well.
"Tell him that our brigade caught the thief on its own initiative and handed him over voluntarily, and he will definitely be praised! If someone else finds out, the situation will be different."
She was worried that the brigade leader might act impulsively and release the person in order to avoid damaging the brigade's reputation.
Then all her efforts would have been in vain, wouldn't they? After all, there have been many people stealing coal over the years, but very few have actually been caught.
Xia Tao stroked his chin thoughtfully and replied, "Hmm, you have a point. However, the captain isn't that kind of person, and there are other comrades present besides the two of us in this operation. As long as we catch the evidence on the spot, no one can escape the punishment of the law."
Thinking about this, Xia Tao felt much more at ease.
He trusted the captain, believing that the other party wouldn't show mercy just because they were from his own brigade.
Moreover, even if the captain hesitated and didn't arrest Wu Guangli, with so many people present, someone would eventually step forward and expose his crimes.
By then, the situation would likely be even more difficult to manage, so the captain wouldn't be so clueless at a critical moment.
After listening to her brother's analysis, Xia Wan nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. After chatting for a few more minutes, the siblings turned and went back to their room to rest.
She decided to go secretly, cover her face, beat up the person first, and collect the points.
Until midnight, all was quiet, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in darkness.
However, Xia Wan remained alert, her ears perked up, listening intently to any sound coming from outside the door.
Finally, she heard the soft sound of the door opening, and she knew that her brother had already left.
Xia Wan didn't dare to delay for a moment and jumped out of bed with lightning speed.
She tiptoed out of bed, afraid that making even the slightest noise would attract attention.
Then, like a nimble cat, she quietly followed her brother out of the house.
However, unlike Xia Tao, she did not head towards the assembly point, but went straight to the small hill that she had mentioned to the captain earlier.
After arriving at the small hill, Xia Wan cautiously looked around to make sure that there was no one else nearby.
It seemed the thugs hadn't arrived yet. Reassured, she found a very secluded corner to sit down. Although it was already dark, she felt no fear. On the contrary, she felt a little bored and began to think about using the system.
"Little system, come out quickly! How about giving your host a lottery to play? Let's try a three-draw first!" Xia Wan excitedly muttered to herself.
She was in a particularly good mood at the moment, thinking that this was a good opportunity to treat herself a little.
[Host is currently participating in the Xia Wan lottery. Please wait patiently!]
[Congratulations, host Xia Wan! You've won a meat bun. Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]
[Congratulations, host Xia Wan! You have won 1000 points. Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]
[Congratulations, host Xia Wan! You have won permanent access to the Artist's Study Room. Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]
[Host, silently say "receive" to claim; you can claim it at any time!]
Xia Wan stared wide-eyed at the prize she had just won, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg in it, frozen in place as if petrified.
After a long while, she finally snapped out of her daze and muttered incredulously, "Oh my god! I actually drew another 1000 points! My luck is too good! Could I be some kind of lucky koi fish reincarnated?"
In her excitement, Xia Wan asked the system in a strange tone, "System, system, tell me quickly, who is the luckiest person in the world?"
However, the system remained silent, seemingly not intending to respond to her somewhat nonsensical question.
Seeing that the system didn't respond, Xia Wan continued to mutter, "System, system, who is the luckiest woman in this world?"
【…Host, can you be normal for once? I'm not the evil queen's magic mirror; I won't just answer such strange questions!】
"Oh dear, little system, you're so boring!" Xia Wan pouted.
Xia Wan then turned her attention to the newly drawn prize: the artist's study room.
She frowned slightly, her face full of doubt, and asked, "What exactly is this artist's study room? What use is it to learn to draw at a time like this?"
