Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The nurses had also received instructions trom the director to tollow Xia Wan’s plan. After hearing Xia Wan’s words, the nurses who had stopped her immediately said, “Yes, the medical fees haven’t been paid yet. Since you’re the patient’s family, please come with me to pay the medical fees. You still need 3000 yuan.”
Li Jin’s eyes immediately dodged, and he also pretended to be pitiful and said,
“3000 yuan? how can our family afford that much?”
Xia Wan looked straight at Li Jin. my father pays you 300 yuan a month for your salary, which is more than 3000 yuan a year. My father has been paying for over ten years, and all the money is yours. Other than the yearly school fees and the new clothes we make, we don’t spend on anything else.
“Grandma, now that my father is sick and hospitalized, can’t you take out a part of his salary to pay for his medical expenses since he’s been paying you for so many years?”
Li Jin immediately retorted, “What are you saying? Do you think I’ll keep all the salary you gave me? We have so many people in our family. The food we eat daily, the seeds we buy every year, the school fees we pay, and your expenses… which isn’t money?
“I’ll be honest with you. I don’t have that much money on me. If you want it, I can only give you 300 yuan.”
Xia Wan sneered and looked at Li Jin with disdain. “Grandma, do you think anyone will believe you? Grandma, how did you treat me before? you thought I had money on me, so you searched me.
“Now, my father fell from the ladder because of your scolding. Now that he has injured his wrist, he won’t be able to work and earn money in the future. Grandma, you say that you don’t have money. Should I learn from you and search your body?
“I can go home and see if you have any money hidden. If you don’t, I can look into your savings account. At least I’ll be able to pay for dad’s medical expenses.”
Li Jin was so angry that her body trembled, and she pointed at Xia Wan and scolded, “You unfilial granddaughter! You actually suggested searching your grandmother’s house? Who gave you the guts to say such unfilial things? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Xia Wan’s lips curled into a sneer, and she looked at Li Jin fearlessly. “Grandma, weren’t you the one who started this?”
“It was you who said you wanted to search me in front of everyone. It was you who said in front of the neighbors that I didn’t give you my money after I earned it. You said my father was unfilial and my family was hiding money.
“Grandma, we’re not blind or stupid. We’ve all seen how our family has treated you all these years, but you said such cold words and forced me to kneel down to you. You only stopped after you forced my father to tell you about the separation.
“Grandma, you’ve been forcing us every time. My father is your son, and I’m your granddaughter. Why are you so cruel to us?
“You clearly know that as long as you treat our family a little better, we’ll definitely repay you several times over. Why can’t I give father a little bit of maternal love?”
Being questioned by Xia Wan like this, Li Jin felt a little guilty.
She knew that Xia Hai was filial and would not refuse her request. However, he was always quiet and did not know how to speak out. Her eldest and second sons, on the other hand, were more likable.
She was the head of the family now and held everyone’s money. It was her freedom to spend money on whoever she wanted. Who was Xia Wan to control?
Although she was thinking this, Li Jin naturally wouldn’t admit that she was biased in front of everyone, so she immediately said, “Stop talking nonsense. How am I not concerned about you? You want to search my body and check my passbook? Impossible unless you step over my dead body today!”
Li Jin straightened her neck as she spoke as though she would die without money.
Song Yan also started to speak up for Li Jin. Xia Wan, I know you’re worried about your father’s condition, but how can you talk to your grandma like that? Although grandma is usually a little strict with you, she’s also being good to you.
“Besides, your father is sick now, so the work at home will be shared between our two families. We’re here to see your father now, so you can’t embarrass us by saying these words..”
