After all, he was just an ordinary village doctor, capable of handling minor ailments and mild colds, but utterly helpless in the face of such a severe injury.
Hearing the conversation coming from inside the house, Xia Wan was overjoyed. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she was secretly delighted: Hehe, this is great, that old thing is finally paralyzed!
Although she hadn't checked her father's information, Xia Wan had a strong feeling that the reason her father's legs were like this must be related to those two old guys.
After a commotion, and at Xia's insistence, Xia Jianjun had no choice but to ask the brigade leader to borrow an oxcart so that he could take Xia to the hospital.
Xia Wan stood aside, quietly watching Xia Jianjun, Xia Jiandang, and others carefully lift Old Man Xia onto the oxcart, and then drive the oxcart toward the county hospital.
Only after they had walked away and disappeared from sight did Xia Wan slowly turn around and return to her room.
In the chaos just now, everyone was in a panic and no one thought of looking for the so-called "culprit".
By the time Grandma Xia and the others came to their senses, it would probably be too late, and they would find no clues or evidence.
After returning to her room, Xia Wan felt exceptionally relaxed and lay down on her bed, where she slept soundly for a long time.
The next morning, instead of exercising, he went straight to his father's room.
Seeing that his brother wasn't there, he finally spoke up with relief: "Old Xia, you really aren't those two old geezers' biological son."
Xia Jianguo sighed softly, looking helplessly at his daughter who was making a fuss: "How did Xiaowan know?"
Xia Wan pointed to herself proudly: "Of course it's a cheat code. It took me 1,000 points to find out the information, and I guarantee it's true."
Xia Wan pulled up a stool and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), then told her father about the news she had received.
Seeing his father's calm expression, he asked again, "Old Xia, what are you thinking? What are your plans for the future?"
Xia Jianguo sighed softly: "Let's just live our own lives. Dad still has some money. Take it and go to the brigade leader to fix up that house in the village so we can move out."
As he said this, he reached into the innermost part of the cabinet and took out a small box, handing it to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan raised an eyebrow and took the box, not surprised by her father's decision: "Then let's not worry about whether they separate or not. Once the house is repaired, we'll just move out."
Xia Jianguo nodded: "Let's move out first. There's not much to divide in the family division. We don't need his measly little bit of money."
"Okay, I understand." Xia Wan nodded to indicate that she understood.
After breakfast, Xia Wan happily took the money and went to find the brigade leader, who readily agreed.
After all, they paid for it; the houses in the village weren't used for nothing.
...
Everyone in Huaihua Brigade already knew that Xia Jianguo and Wu Zhaodi had divorced. In fact, within just a few days, Wu's family had already found her a new husband.
Xia Jianguo knew that it was the old widower from his previous life. Perhaps in order to settle things between Wu Guangli and that widow, Wu Zhaodi and that widower got married very quickly.
The affair between Wu Guangli and the widow was suppressed by Wu Zhaodi's dowry money. Moreover, Wu Guangli has recently reconnected with his cronies and is planning something big!
There have been quite a few weddings in Huaihua Brigade these past few days. Xia Shitou and Li Zhenzhen also got married, but because they didn't have much money, their wedding was simple.
Xia Wan found it strange that Li Zhenzhen was quite well-behaved and kept everything simple!
After enjoying the excitement, Xia Wan didn't forget that there was another big event happening at this time!
Although Wu Zhaodi has divorced her father, Wu Guangli's shady dealings should still be investigated and punished.
Moreover, according to her investigation, there were quite a few people who committed the crime with Wu Guangli this time, so he will naturally gain a lot of points this time.
So how could I possibly give up such a great opportunity when I was so tempted by the points?
While everyone was at work, Xia Wan found the team leader, because he knew he couldn't handle such a big matter by himself.
It's not that she can't beat him; after all, he's been practicing that boxing technique these past few days and has made considerable progress.
However, to catch someone in the act, she would need to find a few villagers to testify; otherwise, if she went alone, she feared that Wu Guangli might turn around and accuse her.
Xia Wan found the captain, and luckily there was no one else around, making it easy for her to speak: "Uncle Captain, are you busy here?"
"Hey? Xia Wan, you want to see me?" The captain's voice softened a few degrees when he saw that it was Xia Wan who had come to see him.
This girl is indeed a troublemaker, but she also brings a lot of benefits to their brigade.
He went to a meeting at the commune yesterday and was even specifically praised.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xia Wan didn't beat around the bush and directly read out the draft she had prepared.
"Captain, I overheard some thugs talking together today. It seems like someone is planning to steal coal when the coal trucks pass by tonight."
Xia Wan did not mention Wu Guangli's name, after all, he was from Huaihua Brigade. She was worried that if the brigade leader heard that someone from his brigade was also in that group, he would choose to keep quiet.
When the captain heard what Xia Wan said, he felt completely overwhelmed. The car had indeed passed by the railway next to their brigade.
If someone were caught stealing coal here, even if none of the people in question were from Huaihua Brigade, they would likely be suspected.
"Are you sure they're trying to target our brigade?" the brigade leader asked Xia Wan uncertainly.
Xia Wan nodded seriously: "Yes, that's what I heard them say. Those thugs said that there's a small hill here in our brigade that's convenient for them to do their thing."
The captain frowned, thinking about where the small hill Xia Wan mentioned was. To his surprise, it reminded him of a place where coal-carrying trains did indeed pass by.
Seeing his hesitation, Xia Wan pressed on, "Captain, there aren't many of those thugs. They only do this kind of thing. If there are too many of them, they'll be easily discovered. Why don't you find a few men from our brigade to wait over there?"
"If we catch those people in the act, our brigade might even earn a commendation, since this is theft of collective property."
The captain kept considering the feasibility of this matter, after all, he was still unsure who these people were.
This kind of thing has happened before, but when it comes to catching those thugs, it's fine if they are caught, but if they are released, then the Huaihua Brigade will be in a lot of trouble.
