84 Go And Persuade Liu Hua
Xia Ru fell silent. Liu Hua’s voice rang out from outside as if urging her to make a decision.
“Fine, I’ll believe you this time. Xia Wan, if you can’t cure my illness, I’ll never let you go!” Xia Ru threatened.
Xia Wan shrugged her shoulders. “Up to you.”
What she wanted to say was that no matter what Xia Ru did, she would not let Xia Ru have a good life in this lifetime. The grudges between them were not limited to this.
Li Jin stopped Xia Wan from leaving and said to her, “You’re the one who gave us the prescription. You’re in charge of convincing Liu Hua. She won’t believe us if we tell her.”
If Xia Wan’s prescription wasn’t so strange, Li Jin really didn’t want her to negotiate with Liu Hua. Who knew what Xia Wan would say?
Xia Wan reached out to Li Jin.
“What for?” Li Jin was a little confused.
“Benefits, Grandma. You saw it too. That Liu Hua is so fierce. I’m just a child. If I provide her with this prescription, she’ll definitely scold me. Grandma, what do you plan to use as a reward?”
Li Jin’s expression changed immediately. She was about to scold her, but Xia Jiang quickly stopped her. “Mother, just give Xia Wan some benefits first. Solve Liu Hua’s problem first, or we won’t be able to work anymore.”
Upon Xia Jiang’s persuasion, Li Jin suppressed her anger. “Didn’t you want your grandfather’s things? I still have some things he left behind. I’ll send them over to you.”
Xia Wan smiled. “Okay, deal.”
After negotiating the terms with Li Jin, Xia Wan took the prescription to the door. Liu Hua seemed a little tired from all that shouting, and Xia Wan took the initiative to hand her a cup of water. “Have some water, Aunt Liu.”
Thinking that Xia Wan was begging for mercy, Liu Hua snorted and took it. “It seems that there’s still a sensible person in the Xia family who knows how to bring me water. Xin’er can tell that you’re different from that Xia Ru. You’re very obedient.”
Xia Wan listened to Liu Hua’s compliments in silence. She knew that Liu Hua didn’t really think she was good and simply wanted to disgust Xia Ru.
Xia Ru had always bragged that she was the best in the Xia family, but now that Liu Hua was complimenting Xia Wan in front of the Xia family, it implied that the Xia family must be blind.
After Liu Hua finished drinking, Xia Wan took the cup back and handed the prescription to her. “Aunt Liu, this prescription will cure your son’s illness. Xia Ru will also use this to treat her illness. Take a look.”
Liu Hua was literate. When she heard Xia Wan’s words, she opened the prescription doubtfully. After seeing that feces was the primer for the medicine, she almost tore the prescription.
She immediately roared at Xia Wan, “Wow! I thought you were a good person, but I didn’t expect you to be so evil. Now that my son is sick, all of you want to harm my son, right? He’s already in so much pain, yet you want him to soak in dung?!
“And how do feces come out? Can that thing cure diseases? Xia Wan, do you really think I’m an idiot?”
“I was going to negotiate with you today, but considering your horrible att.i.tude, we’d better just take action!”
As she spoke, Liu Hua beckoned the people behind her to start smashing things.
Xia Chen and Xia Feng immediately stood beside Xia Wan and tried to stop her.
“Aunt Liu, if you don’t try, how will you know if it works? Go ahead and try. If you can’t cure Liu Shi’s illness, you can come back and cause all the trouble you want.”
Xia Wan’s face was calm, and she didn’t take Liu Hua’s threats seriously.
She was a doctor and knew about the most vulnerable part of the human body. The people brought by Liu Hua seemed to have strong bodies, but no matter how tough they were, they still had weaknesses. As long as she gently moved her hand, she could make these people lose their ability to move.
Knowing how resolute Xia Wan was, Xia Chen attempted to persuade Liu Hua. “Aunt Liu, actually, my sister didn’t come up with this prescription. My grandfather used to be a village doctor. You know that too. My grandfather left this house behind. My sister has a talent for medicine, so Grandfather has been teaching her.”
Liu Hua rolled her eyes. “If Xia Wan knows so much, why hasn’t Xia Ru been cured yet?”
Xia Chen explained patiently, “That’s because Xia Ru doesn’t trust my sister. Aunt Liu, you know that Xia Ru has always been n.o.ble. After seeing my sister’s prescription, why would she want to use it? Using this prescription would be extremely embarra.s.sing.”
Liu Hua heard Xia Chen’s words.
Although Li Jin wasn’t very sensible, Xia Wan’s grandfather had been kind to the entire village. Xia Wan’s grandfather had actually cured many people, not least of all her father’s previous illness.
