Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Ru felt a little upset when she heard Xia Jiang’s heartless words. However, she knew that she was still a girl, and her future was still in the hands of her parents. Even if Xia Jiang disliked her now, she couldn’t say anything.
“I know, Dad,” Xia Ru said in a low voice, before frowning in pain.
Li Jin didn’t forget to praise her. “Look at our Xia Ru. She’s so sensible. She’s so good that people’s hearts ache for her, unlike some who pretend to be dying from a minor illness.”
Xia Wan knew that Li Jin was referring to her, but she didn’t care. She took the initiative and said, “Sister Xia Ru, look at your hair. Aren’t they falling out?”
Xia Ru subconsciously grabbed a lock of her hair and pulled it off.
“Argh! My hair, what’s going on!”
Xia Ru shrieked. To the girls of this era, hair was very important. If someone’s hair was suddenly cut off, they would cry for a long time.
Now, with just a light grab, so much had fallen off. Was she going to be bald in a while?
Yan Han and the others had also rushed over at this time. When they heard Xia Wan’s words, they asked, “Wanwan, do you know Xia Ru’s illness?”
“Yes, I know.” Xia Wan nodded. “Sister Xia Ru’s condition is very similar to one of the symptoms that Grandpa mentioned before.
When Li Jin heard this, he immediately shouted at Xia Wan impatiently, “Since you know how to treat her, then hurry up and tell Xia Ru. You’re happy to see her in pain, aren’t you? How could you be so heartless and selfish?!
Before Xia Wan could say anything, she was already scolded by Li Jin.
Xia Wan sneered and immediately shut her mouth as if too angry at Li Jin to speak.
Xia Ru didn’t want to suffer anymore. She immediately lowered her posture and pleaded with Xia Wan, “My good sister Wanwan, you’ve always been the kindest. You can’t bear to see your sister suffer, can you?”
“Quickly tell me, How do I treat this illness?”
Itchy, it was really too itchy. It itched so bad that she wanted to faint.
Xia Wan’s expression relaxed, as if her heart had softened after hearing Xia Ru’s words. She said with a bit of hesitation, “I do know of a way, but it’s a bit extreme. Many people might not accept it.”
Li Jin didn’t have much patience and immediately said, “What is it? If you know, tell me. Why are you dawdling here? Why did you make the whole family wait for you and let Xia Ru suffer?”
“Xia Wan, are you trying to get Xia Ru killed?”
After being scolded by Li Jin, Xia Wan seemed to make up her mind and said, “Grandma, you’re the one who asked me to say it.”
“There’s one way, and that is to prepare some dandelions, mugwort, and Kasaya.”
After saying the names of several herbs, Xia Wan hesitated for a moment before she continued, “The most important ingredient is dried feces.”
“What? What did you just say?” Li Jin’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Yes, feces, and they have to be dry,” Xia Wan repeated.
The Xia family members were all dumbfounded. This set of medicinal ingredients was beyond their understanding.
Xia Ru’s expression changed. She obviously didn’t believe that this was the correct prescription. Her face was ferocious, and she looked like she was about to rush towards Xia Wan. Xia Wan, how dare you trick me!
Li Jin also reacted. He picked up a stick and was about to hit Xia Wan. “Your sister is sick here, and you still dare to tease her? I’ll beat you to death!”
Yan Han, Xia Chen, and the others quickly came to stop her, but Xia Wan was not stupid and immediately dodged.
At the same time, she didn’t forget to put on an aggrieved look and said, “Grandma, sister Xia Ru, I’m telling the truth. I didn’t want to say it, but you forced me.
“Now that I’ve said it, you don’t believe me.”
Xia Hai blocked Li Jin’s way, not letting her hit Xia Wan. With a face as bitter as bile, he told his mother, “Mother, let’s talk this out. Why are you hitting her?”
Li Jin glared at him. “Great, now you know how to feel bad for your daughter. You can ignore me as a mother, right? Can’t you do something when your daughter is lying here?
“Since you don’t want to discipline him, I, as his grandmother, will discipline him for you today!
Xia Hai quickly stopped her. He thought to himself that Xia Wan had just fallen sick and could not be injured again.
Li Jin saw how protective Xia Hai was of Xia Wan, so he didn’t slow down, and the stick landed squarely on Xia Hai.
