83 She Can’t Be Threatened
Xia Wan looked at Li Jin calmly, showing no fear at all.
“Grandma, Liu Hua is still blocking the entrance. She’s famous for her shrewdness in our village. If we don’t stop her in time, I’m afraid she’ll continue to cause trouble. Grandma, it’s not easy to save a thousand yuan.”
Appaled by Xia wan’s attitude, Li Jin couldn’t help but say, “Even if you have any conflicts with Xia Ru, that’s our family’s business and should be carried out behind closed doors. Now, Liu Hua is bullying us at our doorstep. You have the prescription, but you won’t hand it over. Xia Wan, do you still have this family in your eyes?
“Won’t your reputation be affected if our family is disgraced?”
Xia Wan realized that her biased grandmother had a lot of ideas at this time. If her mother were here, she would probably be influenced by Li Jin’s thoughts and make her give the prescription to Xia Ru.
Xia Wan smiled. “Grandma, you’re being too narrow-minded. I’m in our village now. Indeed, if Xia Ru’s reputation is ruined, it will affect me too. No one wants to have such an embarrassing relative.
“But Grandma, I’ll study hard in the future. I’ll still go to college in the future. When I’ve established myself in the city, no one will care where I’m from or if I have an embarrassing cousin.
“So, Grandma, if you want the prescription, it’s very simple. In the future, we can’t be the only ones doing the work at home. You have three sons. In the past, my father handed you the most money, but every time we had a meal at the table, we ate the least. The meat was given to the others, and it has always been our family who suffered.”
Xia Wan directly stated her conditions. If Li Jin agreed, she would give him the prescription. If she didn’t, she would let Liu Hua scream at the door. She didn’t care anyway.
Li Jin saw that Xia Wan still dared to raise conditions with her, and she was angry, but in desperation to get the prescription, she had no choice but to agree. “Alright, alright. We’ll do as you say. In the future, all three families will split the chores equally”.
“Alright, grandma. Wait a moment. I’ll write you a prescription.”
Xia Wan returned to her room and took a pen and paper, wrote something on it, and handed it to Li Jin. “Grandma, sign it. This is the contract between us. From now on, each family will do their own work in the fields. Don’t throw all the work on us. Also, for the meals at home, each family will eat their own food. Don’t let my mother cook for everyone. My mother is also human, and she gets tired.”
Li Jin held the paper and was a little confused. She didn’t know many words, but after hearing what Xia Wan had to say, she understood that her grandaughter didn’t have a single ounce of trust in her and was thus in a hurry to write a contract.
Xia Ru couldn’t help but scold, “Xia Wan, you’ve gone overboard. She’s our grandmother. Why would she lie to you? How could she sign a contract with her own family?”
Xia Wan glared at her. “You’re not qualified to speak because you’re the cause of all this.”
Xia Ru choked and felt extremely depressed.
In the past, she was the one in the family that Li Jin doted on. Everyone praised her, while Xia Wan and Xia Ye were the inferior ones. Now, Xia Wan was high and mighty, even daring to raise conditions with Grandma while she was harshly reprimanded.
Xia Ru was forced to suppress the fire in her heart.
Li Jin saw Xia Wan’s firm attitude and unhappily pressed her fingerprint. She thought, “So what if I do? I’m an elder in the family. How can they not listen to me?”
Xia Wan was also the only one who was pleased with herself now. When the time came, and Li Jin asked Yan Han to work, would she dare to refuse?
Nonetheless, Xia Wan didn’t care what Li Jin was thinking. After getting the receipt, she happily wrote down the prescription. There were two copies in total.
Xia Ru looked at the prescription. Other than a few herbs, it clearly stated that feces was the primer and thus had to be used. She also had to soak herself in the primer for an hour. Any part of her body that came into contact with air had to be completely immersed in the solution, including her hair and face.
Xia Ru’s face darkened, and her hands trembled as she held the prescription. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Xia Wan, are you sure this is the only prescription that can cure my illness?”
Xia Wan nodded. “I’m certain, but if you don’t believe me, feel free to see a doctor in the city. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to get cured, but I’m pretty sure it’ll cost dozens of yuan to travel there. You’ll have to make an appointment, but your situation is a little special, so you might have to spend a night in the city, which will probably cost another few dozen yuan. And the food in the city is very expensive. Cousin, do the math yourself and see if you want to use my prescription.”
