41 Looking For A Job
When Li Jin heard those curses, her already frustrating mood became even more anxious. She directly shouted at the top of her voice, “My Xia Ru is sick! Are you all so heartless? Has your child never been sick?!”
The neighbors all knew how fierce Li Jin was, and after hearing her outburst, they didn’t make a fuss for the sake of Xia Ru’s illness.
That night, Xia Ru still went to the county hospital. However, just as Xia Wan had guessed, even after an examination, the doctor couldn’t find any problems. He only told her to control herself and not scratch. He also prescribed her some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine.
The next morning, Xia Wan woke up to see Xia Chen in formal clothes. Seeing Xia Wan awake, he took the initiative to greet her. sister, you’re awake. I’m going to the county to see if there’s any work. Even you make money. As an older brother, I can’t just stay at home and eat for free.”
Xia Wan smiled and didn’t stop him. She said, “Then, brother, I’ll go with you.”
It just so happened that she had some money on hand now. 5000 yuan was a lot for this era. She could use it to open a shop, but she hadn’t thought about what business she would dabble in. She could take the opportunity to think about business opportunities while she went to the county with Xia Chen.
Xia Wan felt full of energy as she thought about it. Xia Feng heard the commotion and wanted to go with them, but he remembered that Xia Ru had been sick last night. If the three went to the county today, no one would be able to do the work at home. Then, grandma would scold them again. So, he chose to stay at home and not go out.
Xia Wan and Xia Chen had only walked for a while when they saw a few women chatting under a big tree in the village while eating carrots.
At the sight of Xia Wan, the woman immediately waved at her happily. Xia Wan, come here, come here. I have something to ask you.
Xia Wan said to Xia Chen, “Brother, I’ll go take a look. Wait for me here. It’s better if you don’t listen to women’s gossip.”
In fact, she had already guessed why these women were looking for her. If her brother were beside her, it would only affect her performance.
As expected, when Xia Wan walked over, the old woman immediately asked, “Xia Wan, I heard that your cousin Xia Ru fell sick last night. What are her symptoms?”
Xia Wan showed a worried look and said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with my cousin. She suddenly started to itch all over. She’s making a lot of noise. Even doctor Niu couldn’t stop her. I don’t know if my cousin has an allergic reaction. I heard she went to the county hospital last night and hasn’t returned yet.”
“Oh, she’s not back yet. That sounds quite serious. But Xia Wan, did you know that your cousin’s illness is the same as Liu Shi’s? Liu Shi is also in the county hospital now. How could it be such a coincidence that they fell sick at the same time? Could they have gone somewhere?”
The woman stared at Xia Wan as she spoke, her eyes full of anticipation. It was obvious that she wanted to get some information out of her.
Xia Wan, on the other hand, pretended to be shocked. “Ah, how could that be? My cousin is usually very well-liked by grandma. Why would she go out alone with Liu Shi? Juan Zi, where did you hear this from? my cousin is still unmarried. If this gets out, it’ll be bad for her reputation.”
When the women heard that Xia Wan was still trying to protect Xia Ru, they secretly thought that this girl was really honest. There were rumors in the village that Xia Wan seduced someone else’s boyfriend and was pushed into the river. Now it seemed that the real indecent person in the Xia family was clearly Xia Ru!
Seeing Xia Wan being so honest, the woman couldn’t help but remind her, “Xia Wan, do you know why everyone in the village has a bad impression of you after you fell into the water last time?”
Xia Wan pretended to be innocent. I don’t know. Everyone might have misunderstood me. I really didn’t steal anyone’s boyfriend.
When Li Jin heard those curses, her already frustrating mood became even more anxious. She directly shouted at the top of her voice, “My Xia Ru is sick! Are you all so heartless? Has your child never been sick?!”
