Chapter 60 - 60 Negotiating Conditions
60 Negotiating Conditions
Song Yan noticed the change in Xia Ru’s tone. It seemed that this girl was still young. Hence, she could no longer pretend. She quickly continued from where Xia Ru left off and said to Li Hai, “Mother, that’s not what Xia Ru meant. She used to have a good personality, but her illness these past two days has made her very uncomfortable, so her emotions have been affected. She remembers how much you usually love her, but she’s just a little anxious now.
Song Yan gave Xia Ru a look. Even if Xia Ru was unwilling, she knew she could not afford to offend Li Hai. After all, Li Hai was her grandmother, and if she told the public that she was unfilial, her reputation would be ruined, and the people in the village would look down on her.
At the end of the day, Xia Ru and Song Yan didn’t get any money from Li Hai. However, from Li Hai’s attitude, it appeared she had tacitly agreed that Xia Ru didn’t need to pay her next month’s salary.
Song Yan and Xia Ru subsequently returned to the house.
!!
“Mom, I’m going to the city to see a doctor. Let Dad pay for me,” Xia Ru said to Song Yan.
“We can’t do that. We really don’t have any money. Xia Wan said that she studied medicine from your grandfather. Why don’t we let her treat you first? if you’re cured, we won’t go to the city. If not, we can ask her father, Xia Hai, for some money and say that Xia Wan didn’t cure you but made your condition worse.
If it were any other time, Xia Ru would have liked Song Yan’s idea, but the situation was different now. Xia Wan had said that feces would be needed to treat her illness, but she did not want it. If feces were really used, it would leave a stain in her heart that would never be erased for the rest of her life!
Xia Ru and Song Yan were in a stalemate. One was unwilling to see Xia Wan, while the other was unwilling to go to the city to see a doctor.
On the other hand, Xia Wan was sleeping very well. The more money she had, the more secure she felt.
Today, she first took Xia Chen to the mountain to get some medicinal herbs. These herbs were considered tonics, but others didn’t know they also had detoxification effects. She packed the medicinal herbs, put them in her bag, then went to town with Xia Chen.
She arrived at Zhou Tian’s house by following the familiar address and knocked on the door. When the door opened, it was not Zhou Xiaorou but a fashionable girl who looked to be about nineteen.
The girl eyeballed Xia Wan and Xia Chen with disdain.
“Who are you? Buying medicine? Boss Zhou is in the medicine shop. Don’t come home if you have nothing to do. Our boss has been very clear about the difference between the medicine shop and the residence.”
The other party’s tone seemed a little stiff, an obvious indication that he looked down on Xia Wan and Xia Chen.
Xia Wan looked at her and asked, “As far as I know, Zhou Tian only has one daughter. Since you called him Boss Zhou, it must mean you work for his family. Now that a customer has come, you chased him away without asking him why. Judging from your attitude, I think you treat yourself as the boss.
The girl did not want to fall out with her, but considering Xia Wan’s attitude, she never expected that Xia Wan was actually Zhou Tian’s distinguished guest. Hence, she said even more rudely, “So what if I’m working for Mr. Zhou Tian?” Wang Yao said. I’m still better than you, the one who’s buying medicine. My boss’s medicine is authentic. You might not be able to afford it. If you are poor, you should just bear with it if you’re sick. You don’t even have the money to see a doctor.
Xia Wan squinted her eyes dangerously. This girl’s attitude was bad enough, but her words were a testament that she looked down on the poor. It was obvious that she had a personality issue.
“I’m not here to buy medicine. I’m a guest invited by your boss. If you still carry such a rude attitude and offend your boss’s guests, do you think you can keep your job?”
The girl didn’t take her words seriously. She merely looked at Xia Wan with more disdain and said arrogantly, ” “Don’t threaten me here. Do you think you can lie to me? You were still playing in the mud at home when I came out to mingle in the underworld!”
“Look at the clothes you’re wearing. What kind of clothes are these? They’re so old and rustic. Are you poor relatives who came to ask for benefits? You want to come to our boss’s house to ask for benefits when you’re not doing well? It’s so embarrassing!”
Before the girl could finish, a person walked out from behind her. It was Zhou Xiaorou.
