Chapter 18: Xia Wan Has Really Changed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Chen was working out in the courtyard, and when he saw that Xia Wan was awake, he quickly asked, “Wanwan, are you feeling better?”
Xia Wan smiled. “Don’t worry, brother. I’m fine now. I don’t feel as cold as before. I woke up after a night’s sleep, and I’m still sweating.”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Xia Chen was relieved.
“Brother, where’s mom and dad, and eldest uncle and second uncle’s families?” Xia Wan asked after noticing how quiet the courtyard was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Dad and Mom said they went out to do something, but they didn’t say what. Second uncle’s family took Xia Yu to the hospital yesterday, and they haven’t returned yet. I don’t know if it’s because Xia Yu’s illness is serious or if there’s something else.
“As for the eldest uncle’s family, they went out early in the morning. I don’t know what they went to do, but they looked quite happy when they left. Something good must have happened.”
“Of course,” Xia Wan agreed. She could not remember the details of her previous life, but the situation had changed. At least Xia Yu was not injured in her previous life. Now that she was reborn, it was only right for her to collect some interest.
As for her parents, Xia Wan guessed that they had gone out to work because of her.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan’s heart ached, and she felt touched.
With his family around, even if something happened, everyone would think of a way to shoulder it together. Just thinking about it warmed his heart. He was not afraid even if the sky fell.
“Wanwan, Mom left us some food. You should go and eat,” Xia Chen reminded.
“Alright, brother.” Xia Wan went to the kitchen happily and finished all the steamed buns and eggs that Yan Han had left for her. Then, she wrapped the ginseng from yesterday and placed it at the bottom of the basket, covering it with mulberry leaves and other medicinal herbs.
She waved at Xia Chen, who was working out. “Brother, let’s go to the county.”
Xia Chen looked at the basket she was carrying and asked with a smile, “Are you planning to go to the county to sell the herbs?”
“You’ll know when you arrive,” Xia Wan smiled.
Just as the two were about to set off, Xia Feng walked out of the house. He still had on a straight face, but his tone was determined. “I want to go with you.”
Xia Wan blinked, wondering if they really needed so many people.
However, since Xia Feng was willing to go with her, she was willing to do the same. It would be a good opportunity to ease the tension between them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia Feng glanced at the basket on her back, saying, “Let me carry it. You’re already sick, and you’re still carrying this. If it gets worse, you’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
Xia Chen smiled. “As expected, Xia Feng still cares about Wanwan. But as your brother, I’ll carry it for you.”
As he spoke, Xia Chen took the basket from Xia Wan’s back. He was much taller than her, and before she could say anything, the basket was already on Xia Chen’s back.
As the trio trundled along the village road, they ran into a familiar neighbor, Li Hua. When she saw Xia Wan, she looked at her in surprise. “Wanwan, didn’t you fall into the water yesterday? Why didn’t you rest at home? Why are you out? Your grandma wants you to work now?”
Li Hua knew about Xia Wan’s family situation. She heard that Xia Jiang’s family had gone to the county town early in the morning for dinner, and they must have rewarded her after getting paid.
Hence, Li Hua mistakenly thought that Xia Wan was ordered by Li Jin to work in the fields.
Xia Wan took the initiative to smile at Li Hua and explained, “Thank you for your concern. I’m feeling much better now. I picked some more herbs when I went to the mountain yesterday. I’m planning to go to the county to see if I can sell them for money.”
Li Hua was shocked to see Xia Wan being so polite and thoughtful. She had never been so enthusiastic before. Usually, when you greeted her, she would only respond with a nod and say nothing else. Today, she had taken the initiative to answer questions and even thanked her for your concern. This was the first time it happened.
Noticing Li Hua’s strange expression, Xia Wan understood something.
Because Li Jin was so biased and treated her so unfairly in her previous life, she felt aggrieved and became depressed. After that, she didn’t like to communicate with people around her.
She was afraid that other people would think that she was a girl who liked to seduce men. She didn’t know how to greet others, and she couldn’t say those polite words either.
