Xia Hai looked at her deeply and could not help but ask, “Mother, it’s been so many years. I’ve done so much for you. Now that I’m sick and in the hospital, aren’t you willing to spend more time with me?”
Li Jin smiled awkwardly.
If Xia Hai and the others did not owe her the medical fees, she would have stayed for a while. However, their family still owed her 3000 yuan for the medical fees. Even if they were separated now, who knew if the hospital would ask them for money if they continued to stay here?
So Li Jin said, “Son, I know that you are injured now, but I am at ease now that I see you. There is a lot of work to do at home. You should rest here first. When I am done, I will come to see you. I will take good care of you.
“Even if we split up, you’ll always be my good son.” After she finished speaking, Li Jin left without looking back.
Xia Hai looked at her back and could not help but shed a tear.
Xia Wan’s heart ached for her father when she saw him like this.
It was said that men didn’t cry easily. If they did, it must be because they were utterly distraught.
To Xia Hai, Li Jin’s actions were akin to abandoning him in his time of need.
The mother who raised him for decades had left him heartlessly.
The village chief looked at them with mixed feelings and said to Xia Hai, “You’re a good child. Your mother did not do a good job, but don’t let that make you give up. I think you two will have a good life together. You’ll have to work hard. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me.
After that, the village chief left. Xia Wan also expressed her grat.i.tude to the village chief.
Xia Wan was also a little upset. The village chief was only a distant relative of her family, and they only had a brotherly relationship with him during his grandfather’s generation. Li Jin was his father’s biological mother.
But now, even a distant relative could express concern to his father, even saying that they could look for him if their family were in trouble, but his biological grandmother was afraid that they would provoke her and cause her trouble.
After Li Jin left, the atmosphere in Xia Hail s family went a little quiet. No matter how much Xia Wan hated Li Jin, she still felt slightly disappointed when she saw her att.i.tude towards her family.
Her grandfather, who had been so good to her, had married such a daughter-in-law. If Li Jin had been fair to his three sons, grandchildren, and granddaughter, the family wouldn’t have ended like this.
Xia Wan knew very well that if the Xia family were to split the profits, Xia Jiang and Xia He would be the ones who’d fight over it the most.
Even though Li Jin doted on Xia Yu and his two sons, if something really happened to them that affected their interests, they would not hesitate to let her suffer.
But if Li Jin treated their family well, things would be completely different. Even if they only had one yuan and Li Jin needed two, they would find a way to borrow another yuan to meet his expenses.
This was something Li Jin couldn’t figure out.
In the end, her vision was too narrow and his too shallow.
However, there was an old saying that the more biased the elderly were, the more likely they would be unable to achieve anything. On the other hand, the one who was always not favored and suffered all kinds of grievances would be more likely to achieve success.
Xia Wan didn’t understand this in the past, but she did now. She understood that she had to rely on herself and work twice as hard to get anything done because she wasn’t favored.
Xia Wan took a deep breath and helped Xia Hai to the ward. She poured him some water and cut some fruit. “Dad, don’t worry. You still have us. Although Grandma doesn’t love us that much, our family is united.
“My brother and I will definitely not become like you brothers. If my siblings encounter any difficulties, I will definitely do my best to help.
After hearing her words, Xia Chen also said, “Me too. If anything happens to my younger siblings, I will choose to sacrifice myself to save them.
Xia Wan glared at Xia Chen after hearing this. “Brother, you should talk nicely. Why are you sacrificing yourself?”
In her previous life, her brother had suffered a lot because of her, and because she had discovered it too late, she could not save her brother from that illness. Now, hearing him say this, Xia Wan’s heart ached..
