55 I Can’t Fight My Conscience
“By the way, Wanwan, you said that you can treat people. Is that true? Why would they give you so much money? It was a thousand yuan. Only then did Xia Hai realize what Xia Wan meant by “earning.” He could only obtain that after working for a year. It was not a small sum. The patient’s illness must be serious.
At the thought of this, Xia Hai’s face turned serious. Wanwan, even though our family doesn’t have that much money, we can’t make money out of it. Don’t force yourself if you can’t cure her illness. It’s not a big deal if we don’t earn, but it’ll be a huge problem if we prolong her illness. We can’t do such immoral things for money.”
“Although money is important now, morality supersedes that. I don’t have high expectations for you. I don’t expect each of you to become rich and powerful, but I hope you can live up to your conscience and not let anyone down.”
Xia Wan’s heart was moved upon hearing Xia Hai’s words.”
In her previous life, she had always lived according to her father’s words. No matter who she dealt with, she’d be very sincere and never thought of getting any benefits. However, one by one, they used her kindness to deceive her. They stole her identity, stole her marriage, killed her parents, and took her credit.
Could these evil people’s actions live up to their conscience?
After all, Dad’s living environment and thinking were also somewhat limited. It was not wrong to be a good person, but he should not lose his guard against the bad. You don’t want to harm others, but it doesn’t mean they don’t want to harm you. Those who consider you outstanding will be jealous of you. They’ll want you to fall from the top, to step on you as ruthlessly as they can.
It was precisely because she had gone through so much gloom that Xia Wan could say nothing else when she met the simple and honest Xia Hai. She was only touched and cherished him more. Even if she would be schemed against in the future, she would grow up and become strong. She would let her parents maintain their good hearts. She would not let anyone hurt them!
“Dad, don’t worry. I’m only treating her because I’m confident. Dad, Grandpa left behind many medical books when he was alive. I want to read them, but those books are with grandma. Dad, can you come with me to get them?”
Xia Wan wrung her hands and said uneasily, “Dad, you know that Grandma doesn’t like me very much. If I go alone, she might not give it to me.”
“Of course,” Xia Hai agreed immediately. “My daughter holds great potential. She can save lives with her medical skills. Of course, I’ll do my best to help you.”
Soon, Xia Hai and Xia Wan arrived at Li Hai’s side. Li Hai was still sulking. Xia Jiang and Xia He’s two sons had just come by and told her not to work too hard today. However, she had suffered so much, so how could her sons just let it go?
“Sure enough, you have your own little family and have forgotten about me, your mother. All of you are useless.”
Li Hai was still mumbling to herself when she saw Xia Hai and Xia Wan arrive. Li Hai’s face turned even more unsightly as she said impatiently, “What are you doing here? I didn’t see you coming to help during the fight just now, and your daughter was so good at hiding. Now that it’s all over, what are you doing here? To see if I’m seriously injured?”
Xia Hai did not expect to be scolded by Li Hai as soon as he entered the room. He asked in confusion, “Mother, what happened? I just got home, so I don’t know anything.”
Xia Wan was afraid that Li Hai’s words would affect Xia Hai’s judgment, so she said, “Father, it’s actually quite simple. Liu Shi contracted the same illness as Xia Ru. His family came looking for him, saying she seduced him and even passed on the strange illness to him. They wanted Xia Ru’s family to pay for it.
“Grandma has never been willing to suffer losses, so how could she let them make such a fuss? It’s just that you, your uncle, and the others were still working at that time, so there were no men in the house, so she didn’t get any advantage. Grandma is probably still angry now.”
“But I’ve always been a reasonable person. I’m sure I know that you guys didn’t come home because you wanted to earn money for the family. I’m sure I can understand you. Besides, if this matter blows up, both families will be embarrassed. It’s best we minimize the possibility of that happening.”
