The whitening pills melt in your mouth, but after Xia Wan swallowed them and waited a few minutes, she felt nothing at all.
"System, am I white?" After searching around the room and not seeing any mirrors or anything like that, she could only ask the little system.
[Host, even taking whitening pills requires a whitening process...]
Hearing the system's somewhat speechless voice, Xia Wan chuckled. Indeed, she had been too hasty; if she turned white all at once, wouldn't she become a monster?
She wasn't bothered by the lack of interest and was just about to use the search function to check if there were any suitable jobs in the county when she heard someone calling her from outside.
"Xia Wan, come out here for a second!"
She recognized the voice as that of the captain, so they must have finished talking!
Xia Wan responded and went out: "Captain, is there anything I can help you with?"
"You're not asking me to forgive Old Man Xia or anything, are you? No way. The reason she sent those thugs to the Xia family to expose Old Man Xia today was because she had other plans."
Even if Officer Sun and his men hadn't come today, she would have still called the police!
"I just asked your father, and he said you should decide this matter yourself." She was pondering this when she heard the brigade leader speak.
"But little girl, I still have to remind you, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to consider your reputation when you do it!"
Xia Wan nodded cooperatively: "I know, Uncle, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless!"
"Alright, then I'll head back now. Come find me if you need anything!" The captain sighed, unsure if she had truly taken his advice to heart.
It has to be said that although Xia Wan was not raised by Xia Jianguo, the father and daughter have very similar temperaments, and Xia Wan is even more stubborn than Xia Jianguo!
After seeing off the brigade leader, Xia Wan went straight into her father's room!
She didn't intend to do anything to Old Man Xia. Besides, after the police investigated and confirmed that he hadn't been in contact with those thugs, he would be released.
So we need to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We should take advantage of the Xia family's current confusion and lack of ideas to trick them!
"Old Xia, you really aren't going to take care of your dad anymore?"
For some reason, Xia Jianguo's eyes welled up with tears when he heard the word "Old Xia" today. He had another dream yesterday, and he knew clearly that the little girl in the dream was his daughter.
His daughter calls him "Old Xia" whenever she's being naughty.
He couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but a voice told him that it was Xia Wan.
He just didn't understand why he could dream about Xia Wan, whom he had never met when he was a child.
Could this be God's way of compensating him for his inner flaws?
But that dream felt so real!
"Dad, what's wrong?" Xia Wan waved her hand in front of him when she saw that he hadn't moved or said anything for a long time.
Could it be that she's worried about Old Man Xia? She doesn't seem like it.
"Dad's alright, why hasn't your brother come back yet?"
He overheard the conversation between the captain and Xia Wan outside, so he didn't bring it up again.
Only after he mentioned it did Xia Wan realize that her brother had gone to work today and hadn't come back yet.
"I don't know. I was dealing with those guys when I got back and haven't seen my brother. Maybe something happened. Should I go look for him?"
Xia Jianguo shook his head: "No need, they should be back soon!"
Xia Wan nodded, then changed the subject to her plan: "Old Xia, this time I'm planning to move our entire family's household registration out of the Xia family and separate from them. What do you think?"
"Transfer your household registration? All you did today was to make me transfer my household registration?" Xia Jianguo looked at his daughter in shock.
All that his daughter did was for him. He had heard everything clearly from inside the house. His daughter had been pressured by both her own family and the Wu family and had suffered a lot of grievances.
Xia Jianguo felt tears welling up in his eyes, but this time it was tears of emotion.
"Of course not. Just transferring your household registration wouldn't make those people feel bad. I need to take advantage of Old Man Xia before he comes out and swindle the Xia family out of a lot more money."
Xia Wan didn't notice her father's touched expression, which was shattered by his words, and she was still lost in her own beautiful fantasy.
Xia Jianguo shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Alright, do whatever you want. If they make things difficult for you, go ask your brother for help."
Xia Wan nodded, poured a teacup of water, and handed it to her father: "Of course, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Old Xia, have some water, your lips are dry."
I plan to find a job in the city. I don't want to get entangled with the Xia family anymore. When the opportunity arises, our whole family will move to the county town.
Anyway, she's already a homeowner, so if she wants to leave Huaihua Brigade, she'll have to find a job and transfer her household registration elsewhere.
But that's a story for later. She needs to get her father's household registration transferred out of the Xia family before Old Man Xia comes out, so that he won't be threatened by them in the future.
If she directly asked to change her household registration, the Xia family would definitely not agree, since they wanted to keep her brother's salary tightly in their hands.
This is probably why her father's previous attempts to separate the family property failed.
However, when she mentioned looking for a job, Xia Jianguo began to worry again: "It's not easy to find a job in the city now. If it were easy to find a job, there wouldn't be so many educated youth sent to the countryside."
As he said this, he was thinking to himself if any of his old friends could be of any use in finding a job for his daughter.
However, he obviously hasn't found any useful friends. In the past, when he drove for others, they would try to curry favor with him, but now that he's been paralyzed for several years, he's lost contact with those people.
However, Xia Wan was confident and patted her chest to assure him, "Old Xia, don't worry, you don't need to worry about finding a job. I can handle it myself. Just wait and enjoy the blessings of your daughter!"
Her smug and boastful expression made Xia Jianguo laugh: "Alright, then Dad will just wait to enjoy the good life."
No wonder people say that daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets. His daughter is such a warm little cotton-padded jacket, it warms his heart.
"Dad's so happy today, look what I brought you." Xia Tao came in carrying a piece of meat, smiling at his father and sister.
Xia Wan was quite surprised to see him carrying a piece of meat back: "Brother, so you didn't come back after work because you went to buy meat!"
“I saw that you and Dad were enjoying your meat this morning, and I happened to run into a friend at the commune today. He has connections, so I bought a piece.”
At this point, Xia Tao glanced at the yard and asked curiously, "What happened? Did they fight again?"
He was just curious. He wouldn't be surprised if his own sister had wrecked the yard like that; he was just curious about why those people had offended his sister.
