"Shut up." The policewoman was furious, glaring at Wu Zhaodi. If she hadn't still retained a shred of reason, she would have attacked the woman.
How could she be so cruel to her own daughter? What kind of mother acts like that?
Now they dare to slander me and Xia Wan for framing her, they're utterly absurd!
The two police officers' faces darkened, finally frightening Wu Zhaodi.
The policewoman continued, "Comrade Xia Wan is considering family ties and doesn't want to put you, her mother, in a difficult position, so she has decided not to ask for compensation. However, she has a fractured arm and needs to rest. These days, Comrade Wu Baoping will have to help her with things like getting food and water or doing other strenuous work. Do you agree to this condition?"
"Or if you think Comrade Xia Wan's injuries are fake, you can have them examined by a doctor you trust. You can't just make up stories and slander her!"
"No, officer, I didn't suspect you, no...no..." Wu Zhaodi hurriedly waved her hands: "My nephew didn't hit Xia Wan, and all these injuries on Baoping's body were inflicted by Xia Wan. And look, both sides of his face are swollen badly! With injuries, Baoping can't do any of that!"
Wu Zhaodi stared wide-eyed in surprise. Why did she need to do so much work for that little bitch? What was the point of her calling the police today?
A nurse came to deliver medicine to Xia Wan and, upon hearing what she said, couldn't help but frown and retort!
"Your face is swollen, not your legs or your arm. How come you can't do those chores? Getting food is nothing, it won't kill you!"
She had just heard from the doctor that the little girl was covered in injuries, including a fractured arm.
This mother doesn't care about her own daughter, but she dotes on this big, burly man. Can her nephew be more important than her own daughter?
With a clueless mother, this little girl is really unlucky!
The patients' family members stood far away watching the commotion, discussing Wu Zhaodi's actions with disdain on their faces!
When no one was looking, Xia Wan quietly approached Wu Baoping and threatened him in a low voice, "Admit immediately that the injuries on my body were inflicted by you, and also clarify that the injuries on your body were not inflicted by me, otherwise you'll be in big trouble after the police leave!"
She deliberately lowered her voice, giving Wu Baoping a creepy feeling. A huge fat man, weighing over 100 pounds, was sitting directly on the ground.
Xia Wan immediately took a big step to the side, keeping herself away from him and maintaining a safe distance.
When everyone looked over with puzzled expressions, Xia Wan also pretended to be surprised and looked at Wu Baoping.
Wu Zhaodi, disregarding her usual arguing, rushed to her nephew, anxiously asking, "Baoping, what's wrong? Where does it hurt? Tell your aunt! Doctor... doctor, please take a look at my nephew..."
He looked so nervous that anyone who didn't know better would think he was his most beloved son, not his nephew at all.
The action and the scream left everyone present speechless!
The police officer looked at Wu Baoping, who was sitting on the ground trembling, with a puzzled expression: "Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
Although the doctor next to him was angry, he still adhered to his professional ethics.
Seeing Wu Baoping sitting on the ground, he prepared to squat down to check him: "Comrade, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell me."
Wu Baoping seemed startled and stepped back, saying, "No...it's nothing, I just tripped and fell."
Sensing the questioning looks from everyone, Wu Baoping glanced at Xia Wan, then met her cold gaze, and couldn't help but shiver again, lowering his head and remaining silent.
Wu Zhaodi anxiously pulled him, "Baoping, what's wrong with you? If you're not feeling well, tell the doctor! Did that bitch Xia Wan hit you? Tell the doctor and the police where you feel unwell! The police will definitely stand up for you!"
She circled back to the same point again, but the police ignored her and turned to Wu Baoping: "Comrade, were the injuries on your body really inflicted by Comrade Xia? Please tell the truth. False accusations are also subject to legal consequences."
Wu Baoping remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "No... it wasn't Xia Wan who hit him, it was someone else."
Wu Zhaodi's face was full of surprise, not knowing what was wrong with her nephew: "What are you talking about, Baoping? Aren't the injuries on your body caused by Xia Wan's brat? Why are you speaking up for her?"
Wu Baoping looked at Wu Zhaodi and shouted fiercely, "Shut up and don't say a word. My injury has nothing to do with Xia Wan."
He didn't want to provoke that shrew Xia Wan again; he couldn't let himself get beaten up again! It hurt too much!
Even after being yelled at, Wu Zhaodi still looked at her nephew with concern, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.
She can be angry with Xia Wan, she can scold Xia Wan, and she can even scold her own son, but she will never scold her nephew from her maternal family.
Her maternal family is the most important person in her heart, and her nephew is her maternal family and her closest relative.
Only when her family values her and supports her can she avoid being bullied outside.
The police asked Wu Baoping, "In that case, do you agree to the compensation that Comrade Xia proposed?"
"I agree, I agree!" No matter how anxious his aunt was, Wu Baoping nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
The police officers were finally satisfied and breathed a sigh of relief. Both of them were new employees, temporary workers, and they were afraid of dealing with unreasonable people.
People like Wu Zhaodi, who cry and curse without reason, are fortunately cowardly and can be intimidated!
Xia Wan thanked the police and doctors again for getting rid of all the onlookers before returning to her ward.
He then comforted his worried father before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
"Are you really alright? You looked so pale just now. If you're feeling unwell, you must tell me, okay?" Xia Jianguo was a little worried, because Xia Wan's face had looked so frightening just now.
Xia Wan shook her head and assured him, "Old Xia, don't worry, I'm really fine. Look, I'm still as lively as ever."
To show that she was really okay, Xia Wan even jumped around a few times.
Xia Jianguo nodded, relieved.
Xia Wan breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Wu Baoping and asked, "Where's my food?"
Wu Baoping sat on the bed and instantly perked up. He smiled ingratiatingly at Xia Wan and turned to Wu Zhaodi: "Auntie, don't just stand there, take the food to your cousin."
Wu Zhaodi was already unhappy, but since it was her eldest nephew who had spoken, she didn't dare to object.
Bring the food that was brought back to Xia Wan!
She had thought that the meal was for her and her nephew today, but she never expected that it would end up being given to Xia Wan and that good-for-nothing.
She needs to go out and buy another dinner; she can't let Baoping go hungry.
Xia Wan could guess her initial thoughts, so she didn't suspect that she had tampered with the dinner. After confirming that it was still warm, she ate with Xia Jianguo.
