The morning sun shines on the village path as Grandma Xia heads to work in the fields.
Meanwhile, Xia Wan happily followed the brigade leader to the brigade headquarters.
Along the way, the captain frowned, but finally couldn't help but remind her: "Wan girl, why do you suddenly want to transfer your household registration to the Xia family?"
Now that you're a sent-down youth, it'll be more convenient for you to keep your household registration in your own hands, and the household registration issue won't affect your relationship with your father.
The brigade leader clearly shared the same thought as Old Lady Xia, believing that Xia Wan wanted to transfer her household registration to the Xia family. He was worried that Xia Wan might regret it after making the decision impulsively, so he gave her a heads-up.
Xia Wan naturally guessed what the captain was thinking, and she knew that he genuinely cared about her.
Seeing that no one was around, she took the initiative to explain, "Uncle, you misunderstood! Actually, I don't want to transfer my household registration to the Xia family, but I hope to transfer it to my father's name. However, at the same time, our family's household registration needs to be separated from the Xia family."
The captain suddenly realized why Xia Wan had repeatedly interrupted Old Lady Xia.
He realized that Xia Wan was not as impulsive as he had thought; on the contrary, she knew how to protect herself, so he said no more.
After all, he believed that Xia Wan would make a wise decision rather than let herself suffer any injustice; that little girl was very clever.
The captain understood Xia Wan's meaning and didn't say anything more.
It's better to pretend you don't know anything. That way, if Old Lady Xia throws a tantrum again, he'll have something to say.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to continue the conversation. When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Xia Wan repeated her request in front of the brigade accountant.
"Uncle Captain, this is the household registration booklet. Just like my grandma said, separate the household registration booklets for each of my family members of three."
The captain smiled and nodded, everything was understood without words, and quickly wrote a certificate, stamped it, and handed it to Xia Wan.
"Alright, go do it. Come back soon."
After Xia Wan left, the accountant who had been working with his head down looked up at the team leader and asked, "What kind of trouble is the Xia family up to now?"
The accountant of Huaihua Brigade was named Wu Sangui. He was about the same age as the brigade leader. His wife had died two years ago, and he had no children of his own, so he became increasingly silent. Apart from his own work, he didn't care about anything else in the brigade.
When he asked about the Xia family, the captain was surprised: "Third Brother, you've started paying attention to these kinds of family gossips?"
Wu Sangui was slightly taken aback, then replied perfunctorily, "Just asking. I'm just curious why the two old geezers of the Xia family have finally let Xia Jianguo go."
The captain frowned, clearly looking down on the Xia family couple: "It seems that since the old man was taken away by the police, the old lady had no choice but to follow the young girl's wishes."
He knew Xia Wan was a cunning girl, and he figured he must have half-threatened Old Madam Xia to produce the household registration book. Old Madam Xia probably just thought that Xia Wan had been moved to the Xia family's household registration book.
Little did she know that Xia Wan had acted first and informed her later, transferring Xia Jianguo's household registration.
But this is good, Xia Jianguo has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile, Xia Wan was completely unaware of the conversation between the two at the brigade headquarters; she was already riding her bicycle towards the town.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Xia Wan's first priority was to finalize the household registration. After completing the registration, she didn't rush to the police station to pick up Old Man Xia, but instead went to the county hospital.
Hearing that Xia Shitou had been sent to the county hospital, Xia Wan knew that her brother must be there too, so she decided to go and get her brother out first.
Don't be too late, or Xia Jianjun will start causing trouble again.
As expected, Xia Wan's previous concerns were not unfounded.
When she rushed to the county hospital, she first asked the nurses about the location of Xia Shitou's ward, and then ran there.
However, before he even reached the door of the ward, he could already hear Xia Jianjun's furious roar coming from inside.
"Xia Tao, what exactly do you mean? All I'm asking is for you to pay some of your brother's medical bills, and you can't even do that? Think about it carefully, who exactly caused these injuries to him!"
Faced with Xia Jianjun's questioning, Xia Tao remained completely unconcerned, even his tone of voice carried a hint of anger.
"Hmph, he deserved to be beaten up! The reason I followed you to the hospital wasn't to pay your bills, but to keep an eye on you so you wouldn't take the opportunity to frame me."
Besides, it's just a minor injury; does he really need to waste time in the hospital? He should just pack his things and go home. He's not acting like a real man!
Xia Jianjun roared angrily, "No matter what, you can't hit people. Your brother is in the hospital because his wound is serious..."
Xia Tao interrupted him directly, saying disdainfully, "Come on, Uncle, the doctor said you didn't need to be hospitalized. You insisted on being hospitalized yourself, so you'll have to pay for it yourself!"
"As for why I hit him, since you're shameless, I won't hesitate to say it again." Xia Tao pointed at Xia Shitou: "Your son, that beast, let a scoundrel ruin his cousin's reputation. If my sister hadn't known kung fu, that beast would have succeeded! Let everyone judge, did he deserve to be hit?"
The other patients in the ward had been watching the drama unfold since yesterday. This family had been arguing back and forth, but this was the first time they had revealed the reason for their fight.
"So you can't blame this young comrade for hitting him!"
"Of course! Doing something like that to a young girl should warrant charges of indecent assault and his arrest!"
"Yes, young comrades, why didn't you call the police?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tao looked troubled: "My sister is only reluctant to report my cousin because we're family, after all... sigh..."
Upon hearing these words, Xia Wan, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips.
She discovered that her adopted brother seemed to have changed a lot since they first met.
He has become much more cunning now, no longer as honest and simple as before.
Seeing her brother's firm stance, Xia Wan felt there was no need to continue eavesdropping at the door.
Without hesitation, she pushed open the door and said, "Oh dear, I've only just reached the door when I heard Uncle shouting. What's going on? Don't disturb the other patients!"
As Xia Wan finished speaking, everyone's eyes in the ward instantly focused on her, who was standing at the door.
Xia Jianjun gets a headache just looking at Xia Wan now, and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"
Is this brat here to beat up his son again? Was it not enough that Xia Tao beat him up, did she have to do it herself?
