Chapter 181 Luckily, I reacted quickly



So Xia Wan slammed on the brakes, and fearing that the elderly people in front of her with hearing problems wouldn't be able to hear her, she took several more steps forward.

"Gentlemen and aunties, what a lively scene! You've all gathered here chatting! Could it be that you all secretly envy me, being able to use my adoptive father's money to support my biological father?"

How about this: one of you should hurry up and have another baby, so I can find a godfather for your child!

Xia Wan didn't care at all about the expressions on their faces. After scanning everyone up and down a few times, she continued to spout off like a machine gun:

"Oh dear, what a pity! Look at your age now, you must be at least sixty years old, right? Do you still have the ability to have children? Tsk tsk tsk, it's pitiful that you can't have children. It seems you are destined not to have that blessing in this life!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the old woman with triangular eyes suddenly stood up, pointed her index finger viciously at Xia Wan, and began to hurl insults at the top of her lungs:

"You brat, you ignorant little slut, can't you even speak properly? I have a house full of children and grandchildren, why would I need you to worry about whether someone will take care of me in my old age and see me off in my final days?"

Although the others were not as vehement and fierce as the old woman, they all stared at Xia Wan with angry expressions.

Xia Wan looked completely innocent, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at the old ladies: "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? I just didn't know the situation, so I was just asking. I don't believe you have children and grandchildren. Why don't you bring them out and let me see what they're made of?"

This old man was the one who was talking the loudest just now. Today, he's determined to make an example of him and teach him a lesson.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about! Who's like a little girl like you, wandering around aimlessly all day long!" The old woman's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and all the wrinkles seemed to be squeezed together because of anger, making her look particularly ferocious.

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the crowd: "Tsk tsk tsk, your son wants to take a stroll, too bad, he can't even get a stroll, can he?"

All eyes turned to the speaker, an old woman who had just been calling the old woman her sister was now looking at the triangular-eyed old woman with a smug expression, completely disregarding their past relationship and launching an indiscriminate attack.

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, the old woman seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. A look of panic flashed across her face, and she quickly shut her mouth tightly, afraid that saying another word would cause even more trouble.

Upon hearing this, the old woman with triangular eyes was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly, glaring fiercely at the talkative person, her eyes burning with rage.

But soon, she turned her anger back on Xia Wan, cursing, "You bitch, how dare you curse me! I'll tear your mouth apart today..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her withered, twig-like hands and lunged at Xia Wan with menacing gait.

Upon seeing this, Xia Wan's eyes sharpened, and he quickly raised his right hand, slapping the old woman's outstretched hand without hesitation.

At the same time, she couldn't help but mutter, "Grandma, let's talk this out. You're so old, it's not worth getting angry and hurting yourself. Besides, if you really hit me, I'm young and don't know any better, and I might not know my own strength. If I accidentally hurt you, that would be a real sin!"

As she spoke, she raised her right foot without hesitation and kicked a towering tree not far from the group of people.

In an instant, a deafening "crack" resounded! This enormous tree, which would require an adult man to barely encircle with outstretched arms, was simply kicked in half by her!

As the tree crashed down, it fell directly towards the old woman with triangular eyes. In the nick of time, Xia Wan swiftly raised her foot and kicked her hard, sending the old woman flying like a ball.

"Oh dear, that was close! You were almost hit by that tree! Are you alright? Are you alright?" She pretended to be panicked and at a loss, and even patted her chest solemnly, saying, "Luckily, I reacted quickly, have good eyesight, and am fast enough to save you from danger in time."

The old ladies were already pale with fright, standing there dumbfounded.

Upon hearing Xia Wan's words, he felt his vision go black and nearly fainted.

Fortunately, they were still thinking about their old friend and didn't have time to argue with Xia Wan. They hurriedly and frantically ran over to help the old woman who had just been kicked away.

Xia Wan grinned and went over to check. She found that the person was alright and could stand up, but she must have hurt herself from the fall, as the old woman kept shouting.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xia Wan shrugged and smiled, "No need to thank me, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"

The old ladies: "..."

The old woman with triangular eyes was about to curse when Xia Wan cut her off, saying, "I can kick down a tree, kicking a person is nothing!"

Seeing the horrified looks on the faces of the people, Xia Wan was finally satisfied. She casually picked up the large pile of items she had bought and turned to leisurely walk home.

I glanced at the points in the system. Hmm... only five points. Not a great gain. Much worse than what Grandma Xia got.

After returning home, I put down my things, rested for a while to allow my tired body to relax, and then immediately began preparing dinner.

She planned to first put the fresh rabbit meat into a pot and stew it.

After all, it takes quite a bit of time to cook rabbit meat until it is tender and flavorful.

In addition, the multigrain steamed buns also need to be made in advance. Compared with ordinary white flour steamed buns, multigrain steamed buns not only have a more unique taste but are also more nutritious, but the production process is also relatively more complicated and time-consuming.

Therefore, they must be steamed well in advance and prepared for use. Of course, Xia Wan's choice to make multigrain steamed buns instead of white flour steamed buns was not simply because she was stingy or broke.

The main issue is that the food was already quite substantial; eating plain white flour buns or rice would have made the food stand out too much.

The rabbit could explain that it got something for nothing on the mountain, but it was hard to explain anything more.

I reckon Old Lady Xia and her gang will come and cause trouble tonight, so they have to pretend to be poor and not be too high-profile.
