Xia Wan shook her head and refused: "I won't give it to you, Aunt Cai. It's already very kind of you to help me find a way. To be honest, this bicycle is very important to me. You've helped me a lot."
She wasn't expecting anything in return, so of course she wouldn't take the bicycle for free. These days, nobody has it easy; a bicycle is worth several months' wages for an ordinary worker!
"Don't refuse, you must accept this bicycle. You saved my life. If it weren't for you, my whole family might have been sent to the countryside. Compared to this, a bicycle is nothing."
Cai Guifang tried to take Xia Wan's hand, but then she saw that Xia Wan was holding the thief from earlier. She chuckled and said, "Girl, you're quite strong, aren't you?"
"Yes, I've always been strong since I was little." Xia Wan smiled slightly. As long as it wasn't someone who deliberately made her angry, she would get along very well with others.
Cai Guifang gave a thumbs up: "Little girl, you're really amazing. If I had your strength, I wouldn't have let the thief get so far away."
Xia Wan chuckled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
Catching a thief isn't just about being strong; you also need to be fast, otherwise you'll be outrun and it'll all be for nothing!
The two chatted and laughed all the way, finally bringing the person to the police station.
When they arrived at the police station, Xia Wan put the person down and dragged him away, saying, "Aunt Cai, I'll drag him away while you go call the police."
Cai Guifang assumed she was just tired, so she quickly agreed and ran off to find the police.
Xia Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Mainly, she was afraid of seeing those two young police officers. She always felt a sense of dread. She had acted so pitiful, but suddenly she had become strong enough to beat up a grown man. It was a bit scary to say that.
To be honest, Xia Wan's tendency to feel awkward sometimes is really tiring.
The two young police officers were both present today, and they seemed quite surprised to see Xia Wantuo.
"Hey, young comrade, is your arm better? Put it there, let me help!" The young policeman, thinking she couldn't exert herself due to an arm injury, ran over to support Xia Wan as they walked up the steps.
The thief, who had just fainted, was jolted awake by the steps: "Ahhh... Gently, gently, let me go! I'll never do it again!"
"Thank you for your concern, officers. I've always been very careful about my health and won't let myself get any worse." Xia Wan smiled, her toes busy at work. "I also want to thank you both for upholding justice for me last time. It's thanks to you that I've been able to properly recover these past few days."
Xia Wan and her companion went with the police to give their statements. She could clearly sense that the police officers were very busy this time. It seemed that last time there were still a few idle people who had time to chat, but this time they gave the impression that their feet were never on the ground!
Xia Wan and Cai Guifang gave their statements and then left.
"Wanwan, I have to go to the bank now, and I'm a bit short on time. Do you have time at 9 o'clock tomorrow?" Cai Guifang was also a straightforward person. As soon as she left the police station, she pulled Xia Wan aside to talk about business.
Xia Wan: "I have time. I have time these next two days."
"Oh, that's good, that's good. Then come to the machine factory at 9 o'clock tomorrow and tell the gatekeeper you're looking for Cai Guifang, he'll know who it is." Cai Guifang patted her chest and assured him.
"I'll have my son get the bicycle today. You can come find me then, and I'll give it to you directly."
"Okay, no problem. I'll come to the machinery factory to see you at 9 a.m. tomorrow." Xia Wan nodded.
Judging from Cai Guifang's tone of voice, she could tell that the other party must be a well-known figure in the machinery factory.
The two parted ways at the agreed time, and Xia Wan went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Actually, she mainly wanted to buy some clothes for Lao Xia. As for her own things, she already had almost everything that Suzhou had sent.
I had already visited the supply and marketing cooperative once before, so tonight I didn't plan to take my time exploring it, but went straight to my destination.
The weather was getting cold, and she didn't know if Old Xia had any warm clothes to wear. However, judging from the way the Xia family and Wu Zhaodi treated him, she guessed that they hadn't bought him any good clothes. So, Xia Wan bought her father a cotton-padded coat, cotton-padded pants, and cotton-padded shoes.
She plans to buy Lao Xia a wheelchair later, so that he can at least go outside and not stay cooped up at home all the time.
It seems I need to find a way to make money in the future. I can't just sit around and do nothing; I can't just live off my savings forever.
Xia Wan suddenly realized that she had only called her godmother to let her know she was safe after getting off the train, and hadn't written a letter or made a phone call since.
With that in mind, she headed straight to the post office, intending to send a letter to her godmother and godfather, as well as two packs of dried meat she had just bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"System, I want to participate in the lottery."
[Host is currently participating in the Xia Wan lottery. Please wait patiently!]
[Congratulations, host Xia Wan, on winning the ginseng gift pack! Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]
[Host, silently recite "Receive Ginseng Gift Pack" to claim it at any time!]
"Ginseng? Or a gift pack?" Xia Wan exclaimed in surprise. What was that?
Xia Wan was puzzled, but she silently said "receive" and immediately found a gift box in her hand.
The box looked ordinary, but when you opened it, you could see four ginseng roots of different sizes lying inside.
"System, how old are these ginseng roots? Are they thousand-year-old ginsengs?" Xia Wan's eyes shone with boundless light.
Four ginseng roots! She's so lucky!
Xia Wan was so excited she almost jumped up!
[Of the host's four ginseng roots, the largest one is 500 years old, while the other three are just ordinary ginseng.]
"It's not a thousand years old?" Xia Wan was a little disappointed, but quickly recovered: "That's still pretty good!"
She compared the medicinal herbs sold in the mall and found that a 500-year-old ginseng would cost 2,000 points to exchange.
She spent ten points on a lottery and won four ginseng roots – that was a huge win!
"System, I have 15 points left, right? Give me one more draw."
[Host is currently participating in the Xia Wan lottery. Please wait patiently!]
[Congratulations, host Xia Wan, on winning a property in Yongmao County! Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]
[The property address you have drawn is xxxxxxxxxx. Mention the key to collect it at any time!]
Xia Wan was bursting with excitement. Her luck was truly incredible today, and it seemed she had figured out the system's lottery pattern.
If you're lucky, you can win a big prize every time you try, like today.
Xia Wan was overjoyed; she had only been here a few days and had already become a homeowner.
She silently prayed to get the keys, the keys to her own house, and decided to go and take a look first.
Once his father's household registration is separated from Lao Xia's, he will have the opportunity to bring Lao Xia to live in the city.
While mailing a letter at the post office, Xia Wan suddenly had an idea and sent the 500-year-old ginseng she had just won to her godparents.
Although Lao Xia is not in good health now, he doesn't need such a strong tonic.
