51 Embarrassing Even In A Fight
Li Hai was also crying and shouting. “Someone… Liu Shi’s family is bullying us. They’re ganging up on an old lady. Do you think you can look down on us just because my old man’s passed away, and there’s no one to back us up?”
Hearing Li Hai’s screams, Xia Wan realized that Li Hai was lying on the ground and acting shamelessly.
Xia Wan could tell that Li Hai wasn’t injured at all. She was just taking advantage of her seniority to be a scoundrel.
However, there was no point in judging who was the one being bullied. Both families were losing face by the minute.
Seeing his brother and sister return, Xia Feng quickly jogged over. He didn’t forget to glance at Li Hai before saying, “You guys don’t know, but it’s been really lively today! When Liu Shi’s family heard that Xia Ru was sick and was in the same situation as Liu Shi, they thought she must’ve seduced him and even infected him with this strange disease. They came here today to ask for money.”
Xia Wan’s eyes were filled with a smile. Liu Shi’s family must be really shameless to be asking for such money.
“Grandma definitely won’t give them money,” Xia Wan said.
Xia Feng nodded. “Of course. Not only did grandma refuse to give it to her, but she even started arguing with the other party. Neither side was at a disadvantage. In the heat of the moment, Liu Hua pushed grandma, and she fell to the ground. Our family couldn’t take it and started fighting with the other party.”
“Where’s mom and dad? ” Xia Wan asked. “It’s getting serious. They should be back soon.”
Xia Feng replied, “I’ve already sent someone to inform her. Mom will be back soon. I just couldn’t find Dad at his workplace. I don’t know where he went.”
Xia Wan was a little surprised. Her father usually came back with her uncle. Why didn’t he come back today?
She was still worried, so she said to Xia Feng, “Don’t just stand here and watch. This has nothing to do with our family. Go and stop Mother. Don’t let her get involved. Xia Ru’s family has always looked down on ours, let alone our mother. Now that they’re in trouble, let them solve it by themselves. You guys stop Mother and bring her back to the room to wait. I’ll go and find Father.”
“Don’t. You and Xia Feng should stop Mom. I’ll go find dad,” Xia Chen said.
Xia Wan didn’t hesitate, saying, “Alright, brother. You go then.”
The three siblings split up, and Xia Feng and Xia Wan stopped Yan Han halfway.
At this moment, Yan Han’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “I heard that your grandmother got into a fight! What’s going on? Quickly take me to see her.”
However, Xia Wan stopped her with a pitiful expression. “Mom, this has nothing to do with our family. You know that Liu Shi has also contracted Xia Ru’s illness. His family is saying that Xia Ru seduced him and passed on the illness to him. Now, they’re clamoring for compensation from us. If you go over, they’ll definitely think you’re a pushover and you’ll get bullied. You should go back to your room and rest. We’ll keep an eye on grandma.”
Yan Han was a little conflicted after hearing this. “How can I do that? Although Xia Ru’s family doesn’t usually treat our family well, we’re still a family, after all. How can I not help when something happens to our family?”
Xia Wan knew Yan Han was soft-hearted, so she immediately squeezed out tears and said, “Mom, you’re not in good health, to begin with. If you go, not only would she be unhappy, but she’ll even think you’re useless. By then, Song Yan won’t be grateful to you. Mom, if you go over, you’ll only be criticized. If you get angry and something happens to your body, we’ll be the only ones who’ll feel bad for you.
“I’m going to take my college entrance examination soon. Mom, you have to prepare for it. I just want you and dad to take care of yourselves. Let’s not get involved with their family matters, okay?”
Looking at Xia Wan’s pitiful expression, Yan Han thought of Li Hai’s usual favoritism and finally nodded. “Alright. Mom will listen to you. I’ll wait at home. By the way, where’s your dad? “Has he already gone over?”
After being persuaded, Yan Han realized that she did not see Xia Hai.
