After hearing what the two people said, Xia Wan hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
The most crucial reason is that her father's words make sense. After all, there is only one extra hospital bed here. If she and her brother stay here, it will indeed be difficult for them to leave and do other things.
After quickly packing his luggage, Xia Tao followed Xia Wan out of the ward. He planned to personally escort his sister to the guesthouse.
When she reached the top of the stairs, Xia Wan stopped, turned around, waved vigorously to her brother, and said, "Brother, don't bother seeing me off. I can manage on my own. You should go back to the ward and take good care of Dad!"
However, Xia Tao firmly shook his head, expressing his deep concern about letting his younger sister travel alone at night.
He frowned and replied worriedly, "No, Xiao Wan, it's already completely dark. It's not safe for a young girl like you to walk alone at night!"
Hearing her brother's concern for her, Xia Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
She raised her small fist and waved it lightly in the air a few times, then winked playfully and said, "Brother, have you forgotten that I practice kung fu? So, you really don't need to worry about my safety. Besides, if you take me there, what if the doctor comes looking for us and finds that there are no family members in the ward?"
After his sister's reminder, Xia Tao suddenly realized what had happened. He slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "Oh dear, look at my memory! How could I have forgotten about this so completely! My sister is quite skilled; I was just too nervous and worried!"
So Xia Tao had no choice but to nod helplessly and compromise, saying, "Alright then, since you insist, I'll listen to you. But you must be careful on the road, and remember to lock your room door tightly when you get to the guesthouse, so you can get a good night's sleep."
After saying goodbye to her brother, Xia Wan slowly left the hospital and headed towards the guesthouse not far away.
Throughout the journey, she felt heavy-hearted, and the image of her brother lying weakly in the hospital bed kept flashing through her mind.
Finally, Xia Wan arrived at the guesthouse. She dragged her slightly weary steps to the front desk and smoothly completed the check-in process.
Then, she took the key, climbed the stairs to the second floor, and found her room. Pushing open the door, she saw that although the room wasn't large, it was neatly arranged and exceptionally clean and tidy.
Xia Wan gently closed the door and sat down on the bed.
She leaned against the bed, closed her eyes, and began to recall everything that had happened that day. She had been constantly on the go, and was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
As she pondered, weariness gradually crept in, and before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep.
When Xia Wan opened her eyes again, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and it was already broad daylight.
She sat bolt upright in bed, glanced at her watch, and thought to herself, "Oh no! I overslept!"
So she quickly got up, tidied her clothes and luggage with nimble hands and feet. Then, she picked up her wallet from the table and hurriedly left the room.
Since she would be staying at the guesthouse again that night, Xia Wan decided to pay for several more nights in advance to avoid any trouble later.
After paying the fees, she left the guesthouse with light steps.
Immediately afterwards, she went straight to the hospital cafeteria, intending to buy some delicious breakfast for her father and brother.
However, at this moment, far away in Huaihua Brigade, Qiao Qiao had already returned home.
No one knew what methods Wu Erzhu had used, but when he returned after being away for several days, Qiao Qiao, who looked haggard, was by his side.
Moreover, the two of them returned in a rather ostentatious manner, carrying packages of various sizes.
Just then, a villager happened to pass by and, upon seeing the scene before him, felt a surge of intense curiosity.
He strode forward, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Hey? Erzhu, I see your wife coming out of there? Did you already give them all the compensation you owed?"
It should be noted that almost everyone in the Huaihua Brigade knows that Qiao Qiao was taken away by the police a few days ago.
However, at this moment, everyone was quite surprised to see the young couple returning with large and small bags of belongings.
Everyone began to speculate: Could it be that Widow Sun was really willing to spend such a large sum of money to compensate her daughter-in-law?
After all, that's no small sum; it's over 1,000 yuan!
When did Widow Sun's family become so wealthy?
Originally, everyone was thinking that when they stepped forward to ask questions so rashly, given the usual temperament of Mr. and Mrs. Wu, they would probably be too lazy to pay attention to them.
Unexpectedly, something completely unexpected happened.
Wu Erzhu's face instantly broke into a radiant smile, as if he had won the lottery.
He made no attempt to hide his joy, beaming as he boasted to those around him, "Oh, gentlemen, it was all a huge misunderstanding before!"
There was absolutely no fraud involved in my wife's marriage; it was all a setup by those guys to frame her!
"Let me tell you, my wife did something really amazing in the city! She saved a very important person! Look at all these things; they were all specially given to us by that important person to express his gratitude."
Just then, Wu Erzhu and Qiao Qiao appeared smug, muttering to themselves and deliberately raising the objects they were holding high above their heads and waving them vigorously, as if they were afraid that passersby wouldn't see them.
