At this moment, Aunt Sun reacted quickly, shouting loudly, "Alright! Everyone, stop crowding around and disperse! If someone really dies, who among you can take responsibility?"
After saying that, Grandma Sun gave her eldest son and daughter-in-law a wink, signaling them to come and help quickly.
The two understood each other perfectly and quickly stepped forward, carefully carrying the unconscious Qiao Qiao with Wu Erzhu towards the Sun family's courtyard.
Grandma Sun knew very well that no matter what, she absolutely could not lose face in front of so many people.
More importantly, this matter concerns whether her son will be convicted of hooliganism, and if handled improperly, the consequences could be dire.
Therefore, at this critical moment, she must act decisively and without the slightest hesitation or carelessness.
However, some people in the crowd still continued to tease, "Hey, Widow Sun, you're not quite right. Your daughter-in-law fainted, that was caused by your son, it has nothing to do with us!"
Another loafer chimed in, "That's right, Aunt Sun, why don't you tell everyone when your son plans to marry Qiao Qiao?"
"The two of them have done such shameless things, and everyone is watching. If they don't get married, I'm going to report them for indecent behavior."
Faced with these malicious words, Aunt Sun turned pale with anger, but the most important thing right now was to settle Qiao Qiao. She suppressed her anger and quickened her pace without looking back.
Xia Wan glanced at the people who were speaking; they were the same thugs who had initially been hired by Wu Erzhu.
She simply stood by as an observer and didn't say anything. Anyway, now that things had come to this point, the two of them would definitely get married.
I don't know if it's because they got their marriage certificate quickly, or because the people from Suzhou came looking for them quickly, but judging by the timeline, it should be in the next few days.
Since these two are on the same side, it would be best to lock them up. I just don't know if Wu Erzhu will help Qiao Qiao pay back the money to that family in Su City.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Qiao Qiao is definitely my daughter-in-law. Tomorrow I'll have the brigade leader issue a certificate so the two of them can get their marriage certificate." Aunt Sun squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, then closed the courtyard gate with a long face.
Upon hearing her say that they would get their marriage certificate tomorrow, the people around quieted down, made a few sarcastic remarks, and then left.
The crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle had gradually dispersed. Xia Wan didn't linger either; she followed closely behind her brother as they walked home together.
As soon as he entered the house, Xia Tao smiled and said to his younger sister, "Xiao Wan, why don't you go inside and rest for a while, then go in and chat with Dad. I'll cook dinner today!"
As he spoke, he quickly set aside the fresh pork he had just bought from the market and began to methodically prepare the ingredients needed for cooking.
He didn't seem to care at all about what he had just witnessed.
Xia Wan nodded upon hearing this, not refusing her brother's kind offer. In fact, she did have some things that puzzled her, and she was thinking of finding an opportunity to have a good talk with her father and hear what his thoughts and opinions were.
So, Xia Wan took a step forward. However, at that moment, a sudden voice rang in her mind.
[The "Did You Call?" system has been successfully updated. System assistant is at your service. Please check the user manual.]
Xia Wan, who was about to go inside, suddenly stopped. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked to the stone bench in the center of the yard. She gently brushed off the dust and then sat down.
She muttered to herself, "Xiao Da? After upgrading, even the name has become so high-class?" as she looked at the faintly visible transparent panel in front of her.
The screen was covered with a dense array of text and images, clearly a detailed user manual that had popped up automatically by the system.
Xia Wan stared intently at the information, reading it word by word.
A moment later, a look of realization appeared on her face, and she muttered to herself, "Just as the little system said before, the functions after this upgrade are almost identical to what it described."
Thinking of this, Xia Wan's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, and then an irrepressible joy welled up in her heart.
From now on, fighting with others won't just be about earning points; you can actually get monetary rewards!
That way, she'll be more motivated every time she makes a move. Who knows, maybe she could actually become the world's richest person through this method of making money!
However, the only drawback is that this money exchange function is not without limitations.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Wan discovered that within one million points, the ratio of points to money was 10:1, meaning that 10 points could only be exchanged for 1 yuan.
This system was mentioned before, but there's one limitation that might hinder her dream of becoming the richest person in the world!
There's a daily limit; you can only redeem a maximum of 500 yuan! And at this system level, you can only redeem a maximum of 1 million points!
If you want to break through this limitation and continue to exchange a large number of points for money, you will have to upgrade the system again!
"Hmph! Little system, why didn't you tell me all these rules before you upgraded?" Xia Wan grumbled somewhat discontentedly.
However, even if the system told her to upgrade, she would still upgrade the system!
[Host, Xiaoda was also unaware of the specific rules before the system upgrade.]
Xia Wan pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She just looked down at the system rules. There was nothing else. In fact, she quite liked the function of identifying the person who was beaten, and it just so happened that she would be able to use it soon.
In her opinion, this thing doesn't consume too many points, only 300 points, which is much cheaper than the query function.
After thoroughly understanding the upgraded system, Xia Wan then walked towards her father's room.
Upon opening the door, one could see Xia Jianguo sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a book, while two canned goods and a bag of pastries had appeared on the cabinet in front of him.
Xia Wan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked the question that had been bothering her, jokingly saying, "Oh my, Old Xia, you still have such good food to eat. Who poisoned you this time?"
Her half-joking tone actually reflected her concern. After all, there were many people who wanted her father dead, and she couldn't imagine anyone sending him such expensive food for no reason!
