Chapter 106: Saving Money is the Key
Yan Han then turned to Xia Wan and said, “Your father made you a pa.s.sbook before. You can put all the money you earn in the pa.s.sbook. It’s not safe to keep it at home. If your grandmother finds out, you won’t be able to keep it.
“I’ve never ran a business, and although I know it can be a fast way to earn money, it’s also easy to lose money. Don’t be smug just because you made so much money on the first day. We have to be down-to-earth when we do business.”
Xia Wan nodded and said to Yan Han with a serious expression, “Mom, don’t worry. I don’t think that I’m great just because I earned 2000 yuan. I know that making money is one thing, but being able to keep it or use it to make more money is the greater ability.”
Soon, the waiter served their dishes. Everyone had a great time eating. By the time they finished, an hour had pa.s.sed.
Perhaps it was because Xia Wan had earned some money that Yan Han and Xia Hai felt much more relaxed. They had smiles on their faces from the beginning to the end.
When they returned home, they found that the quarrel in the courtyard was still going on, and Song Yu’s voice could also be heard.
A smile flashed in Xia Wan’s eyes. She brought her family back to the house, caring little about the mess in the yard.
Xia Ru was finally done an hour later. When she came out, she emitted an overpowering stench.
“Mom, quickly! Get me some clean water. I want to take a bath!” Xia Ru’s voice was shrill. Obviously, she could not stand the stench on her body.
Song Yan was also very anxious. She had long been unable to stand the smell of feces. Now that Xia Ru was done soaking in the bath and her body no longer itched, she had to get rid of the bucket of feces.
“Since you’re all well now, you should go wash up in the river. Don’t stay at home. With such a strong stench, no amount of water at home will be enough for you.”
Seeing Song Yan’s att.i.tude, Xia Ru was a little unhappy. She felt wronged. Now, the whole village knew about her soaking in feces.
However, she also knew that her illness had caused a huze ruckus at home. If
she made any more unreasonable requests, even her mother, Song Yan, would hate her.
Hence, Xia Ru had no choice but to take a bath by the river unhappily. She scrubbed herself for the better part of an hour before returning home. By then, the sky had already turned dark. Xia Ru sniffed her own body from time to time, unable to shake off the stubborn smell of feces that lingered in her nose.
When she got home, the smell of feces was still there. She didn’t know what Song Yan had sprayed, but the stench was now mixed with some fragrance. Insted of improving the situation, the smell only got stronger from the unholy mix.
When they returned to the house, Xia Ru sat on the bed unhappily.
Song Yan had also finished packing up the things in the yard. The two sat together with an unhappy expression.
“Mom, I think Xia Wan has tricked me!” Xia Ru hissed viciously. I’ve never heard of any prescription that requires feces in it.”
Song Yan was a little hesitant after hearing this. “But you’ve tried it yourself. If you don’t add feces, it won’t work no matter how long you soak in it. But as long as feces is added, your illness can be cured. Obviously, the Xia Wan’s prescription is not a problem.
“Besides, Xia Wan learned this from your grandfather. I’m sure he wouldn’t think of something that would harm people.”
At the mention of her deceased grandfather, Xia Ru’s face was filled with unwillingness again. “I don’t even know what Grandpa likes about Xia Wan. He brings her with him every time he goes out for treatment. Am I not his granddaughter? Xia Wan isn’t as smart as I am, so why didn’t he bring me along?”
After hearing this, Song Yan couldn’t help but say, ” you can’t blame your grandfather for this. It’s not that he didn’t want to bring you along. It’s just that when he brought you there once, you saw the abscesses on the patient’s body and felt disgusted. You almost vomited. Do you think the patient would feel good if you followed him with such an att.i.tude? ”
After Song Yan’s reminder, Xia ru finally remembered that there was such a thing. However, it had been too long, so she couldn’t remember it..
