C88 (1/2)

Xia Li sat up on the bed. After taking two steps, his body unsteadily fell forward, and was supported by Sun Chun.

”No matter what you want to do, no matter how angry you are, you should still eat first.”

Xia Li rubbed his slightly swollen face, leaned on Sun Chun, and asked: ”Do you also dislike my cowardice, and after getting beaten up by your own father, you can only stay in your room?”

”Every family has its share of problems. Even father and son are at loggerheads. Do you not have enough cases of brothers secretly attacking each other?” Sun Chun's expression was solemn, he sighed, ”You can't fall down first.”

”But I'm so tired. It wasn't easy to get a few days of peace, and it was destroyed by him again.” Xia Li leaned on Sun Chun's shoulder, the grievances in her heart all surged up. She didn't know what to say anymore, and didn't want to complain, and even more so, didn't want to seek sympathy.

”Your heart is in pain, cry a little and you'll be fine, you'll get over it sooner or later.” Sun Chun lied down on Xia Li's back, coaxing her.

When Lee's carried the chicken wings and the sweet soup came in, Xia Li had already changed into a clean set of clothes.

Lee's was still a little uneasy as she placed the dishes in front of Xia Li. Just when she was about to say something to coax Xia Li to eat, Xia Li had already consciously brought the dishes over and started to eat them.

Sun Chun stood at the side, slightly relieved. Lee's also revealed a smile on his face.

”Eat slowly, there's more in the pot.” Lee's said happily.

”Mother, Xia Manjiang has to leave our house.” Xia Li put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and said seriously: ”Don't worry, I will take care of you for the rest of my life, and will not let you live and die alone. When Xia Qing grows up in the future, he will also be filial to you.”

”Let him go. I had thought that he had changed his mind. Who knows, it would still be the same as before!” Lee's said as his eyes reddened again. Wiping away his tears, he said, ”Mother, in the future, we won't interfere in this matter anymore. After all, this time he hit you and made a ruckus again at hospital!”

”Thank you mother for your understanding!” Xia Li said as he picked up the chopsticks again and finished the rest of the food.

Xia Li only wanted to teach Xia Manjiang a lesson. Sighing, he said, ”Sun Chun, I'll trouble you to put him down.”

”Alright.” Sun Chun responded indifferently. When he walked out of the room, Lee's and Xia Li followed him out.

Lee's's tightly clenched heart slowly relaxed. She was truly worried that Xia Li would do something extreme because he hated Xia Manjiang.

Sun Chun threw the flying blade in his hand, and took the chance to cut the rope tied to Xia Manjiang's body, causing him to fall on the ground and groan in pain.

Xia Li went over to carefully examine Xia Manjiang's body, and together with Lee's, he supported him back to his room. After a period of treatment, and another day and night of sleep, Xia Manjiang was finally able to catch his breath, and was able to walk around the bed.

When Xia Manjiang walked out of his room and saw Xia Li drinking tea in the courtyard, his heart was filled with resentment. As his father, he was taught a lesson by his own daughter, and he could not take it anymore.

”You're really going hard! You dared to hang your father on a tree, almost causing my death!”

”What right do you have to shout here!” Back then when you were drinking and gambling, you scolded my mother and brother when you were in a bad mood. Afterwards, you owed me and my brother a huge debt and ran away, leaving our family behind.

”Now that we finally managed to live a peaceful life for two days, and you've come back to cause trouble again, my mother pitied you and took you in. But what about you, you took her money and went out to drink and beat him up? We've done our best for you. ”

”This time, hanging you for one day and one night is your lesson. Now that you're fine, take this fifty silver taels and scram. Then come back here and cause trouble. I'll break your legs and scram!”

As Xia Li said that, he took out fifty silver and threw it beside Xia Manjiang's feet.

”You … ”You stinking girl, how dare you teach me a lesson!” Xia Manjiang was enraged, he raised his hand and was about to hit Xia Li.

Sun Chun's eyes were filled with contempt. He kicked out, sending Xia Manjiang flying and crashing into the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

He was stunned for a while, and looked at Sun Chun, who was standing beside Xia Li, in fear.

”Who are you?”

”Who I am isn't important, don't pester Xia Li and Aunt anymore. Otherwise, I won't let you off so easily next time.” As Sun Chun spoke, he took a step forward, scaring Xia Manjiang so much that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

”Brave man!” ”Stop, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!” Xia Manjiang said as he grabbed the money pouch on the ground and ran out of the courtyard.

Life calmed down again, and for more than ten days, Xia Li guarded the hospital without leaving even an inch, in case Xia Manjiang came back and caused trouble.

Other than returning to stay by Xia Li's side on time, she would also continue to ”play Disappeared” the rest of the time. She had once wanted to follow him and try a few times, but every time he would just disappear halfway, and after a long time, she would give up on this idea.

Xia Li was still in a daze, when a restless voice suddenly came from outside the door. Six big men carried three stretchers and rushed in, and the leading man threw himself in front of Xia Li and cried.

”Doctor Xia, hurry up and save my wife and children. They just jumped into the water!”

”Brother, please get up first. I'll go take a look!”
