Chapter 279: Is There Any Relative Like You?

"You the bitch. Well, I'll see how long you can be strong-willed. Call the police, now!"

The man's pale face suddenly blushed. Maybe he didn't expect that Xia Yu was not afraid of his calling the police. Turning his head to the Breakfast Lady beside the bed, he shouted to her and asked her to call the police.

"Who did you call a bitch?" Shen Qiang exuded cruelty with an extremely cold voice. Instantly, it seemed that the ambient temperature dropped several degrees.

The man seemed to notice Shen Qiang in the ward then. His eyes glanced at his legs, showing disdain. He said: "Who are you?"

"He is my friend!" Xia Yu explained.

The man glared at them arrogantly and said: "I don't care who he is. Anyway, I was beaten by you. If you don't compensate for my loss, I'll live directly into your house."

He behaved like a hoodlum, and even his wife on the side couldn't stand his words. She called him then: "Husband!"

"Shut up. I have not died yet." The man vented his anger to the Breakfast Lady. "You, bitch. Are you looking forward to my death?"

"Husband, I'm not." Being scolded by her husband unreasonably, the Breakfast Lady did not dare to say anything and kept explaining it.

"Help me ask her for money if you're not. I see it clearly now. I cannot count on you the bitch either. If you really irk me, I will..." The man pointed at the Breakfast Lady and wished he could eat her.

"What do you want?" Xia Yu had never seen such an evil-minded person. Just now he was in the operating room, and his wife was so worried about him. Nobody could expect when he woke up, he started to swear. Was he still a human?

"I'll sell her. It’s none of your business." The man glared at Xia Yu. "I have never seen a woman like you. Do I break the law if I beat my wife? You are such a meddler!"

"It's against the law if you beat your wife. She is not your private property. You cannot do whatever you want to do to her?" Xia Yu felt sad for the Breakfast Lady as she couldn't give up on such a rogue.

"I can hit her at will!" The more the man said, the more excited he was, and the blue veins on his head burst out.

"Don't speak anymore, husband. You should have a good rest." The Breakfast Lady comforted his man tenderly.

"Then you ask her for money!" said the man peremptorily.

Shen Qiang had a hard time to endure him. Seeing he was so peremptory Shen Qiang was going to teach him a lesson.

After all, he was injured, so Xia Yu quickly grabbed Shen Qiang and shook her head to him, meaning to spare him.

It seemed that the man lying on the bed just pretended to be uncompromising. After his wife's persuasion, though his face was not reconciled, his eyelids hung down, showing exhaustion and languor.

The Breakfast Lady looked at Xia Yu and then pointed to the door, meaning to let them go out first. Xia Yu nodded, and left the ward with Shen Qiang.

Soon the Breakfast Lady also came out of the ward and came over to them. She did not look very well: "Miss Xia, after all, you did it to help me. I know it's not what you mean first, and you know that he is a bad gambler. My family really has no extra money for medical expenses."

She stopped in the middle of her speech, but Xia Yu had already understood that she wanted compensation. Just like she said, it was not Xia Yu's intention to beat him to the hospital, but the damage was done. Asking for compensation was justified, but it was blackmail for the man to ask for 300,000.

"Breakfast Lady, I will pay for the medical expenses, but he wants 300,000..."

Before Xia Yu finished her words, the Breakfast Lady felt embarrassed and she waved her hand and said: “No, no, of course, I cannot let you compensate us for 300,000. You helped me. If it's not the last resort, I will not ask you for medical expenses."

The Breakfast Lady was a sincere person. Asking Xia Yu to pay for the medical expenses was already her bottom line, and she would not agree to anything else.

Xia Yu was very moved about her words. This woman was too kind, or she would leave her husband as he bullied her like this.

"But he will continue to ask you for his gambling debt. If you don't give it to him, he will continue to hit you." Xia Yu was really worried about the Breakfast Lady.

"Miss Xia is right. Why do you send such a man to the hospital? I was not there just now, or I would stab him with a knife and directly kill him to stop him from continuing to torture you." Before the Breakfast Lady spoke, the voice of a young woman came over, which was a little bit familiar. Xia Yu looked up, just to see Wen Xiaoqian take the Breakfast Lady's daughter and walk over with a smile.

"Sister, why do you come here?" The Breakfast Lady looked at Wen Xiaoqian and shook her head. "In any case, he is your brother-in-law, and Xiaoxiao's father. You want me to leave him alone?"

"What about him? Does he regard you as his wife and Xiaoxiao as his daughter?" Wen Xiaoqian was going to die of anger because of the Breakfast Lady. Since things had come to such a pass, she still spoke for that man.

"He loves to gamble, but he also wants to make more money to make me and Xiaoxiao have a good life. Who can expect that he always loses money out of bad luck?" The Breakfast Lady sighed. She knew that her younger sister was very disgusted about her husband's beating her and Xiaoxiao oftentimes. For this reason, she had also quarreled with him many times and even called the police.

She also knew that her sister did it for her sake. But just as she said to Xia Yu, after all, he was her husband and Xiaoxiao's father, so she couldn't just leave him as she wanted.

"You are so stubborn. Have you ever seen a man keen on gambling get rich? If you go on like this, you will be held back to death by this damn man. Not just you, but also Xiaoxiao!" Wen Xiaoqian was exasperated at her sister's weakness.

Hearing it, Xia Yu knew the relationship between Wen Xiaoqian and the Breakfast Lady. They were sisters. No wonder that Xia Yu saw Wen Xiaoqian at the Breakfast Lady's house.

But they were really different. The elder sister was gentle and cowardly while the younger sister had a hot temper and was very assertive.

She could see that Wen Xiaoqian really worried about her sister. If she hadn't beaten the man to hospital, maybe she could have asked the Breakfast Lady to say something good for her. But at this time......

"Hey, sister-in-law, my wife did help you much before. It's fine that you ignore us as now you are a big star. But why do you want to encourage my wife to betray me?" The man might hear the voice of Wen Xiaoqian, so he ran out.

"Husband, you still have injuries. Go in and lie down." The Breakfast Lady rushed to hold him, but she was pushed away by the man.

The man's eyes were fixed on Wen Xiaoqian. "I can understand it. You are a woman with a sweet mouth and bitter heart."

"Enough. If it were not for my sister, we would have already been homeless. You are not satisfied still." The Breakfast Lady was angry and loosened him. "You don't want to lie down, as you like."

"Wife, you are so kind. If you were the one to go to school, you would own both fame and fortune now." The man did not shut up for her anger, and continued to say when glancing at Wen Xiaoqian's hand: "You know I'm hurt and still come here with empty hands. Is there any relative like you?"

"You, you, I won't care about you then." The Breakfast Lady cried out of anger.

"Sister, you have to keep your word!" Wen Xiaoqian said bluntly because she really hated her brother-in-law.

"Xiaoqian, he is your brother-in-law after all." The Breakfast Lady looked at her sister resignedly.

"He just got the character of you. Okay, fine. I don't care anymore." Wen Xiaoqian shook her head and turned around to leave.

"Xiaoqian, go after dinner." The Breakfast Lady followed her and felt a bit sorry.

"Next time. It's hard for the rogue to catch such an opportunity to act shamelessly. How can he just go back so easily?" Wen Xiaoqian said this with obvious disdain.

When her sister said that she wanted to marry him, Wen Xiaoqian did not agree. The bastard was a famous rogue in their village, but her sister was enchanted by his sweet words and got the marriage license without her recognition.

After Wen Xiaoqian knew it, she scolded her sister seriously. She was not very famous at the time, but she also earned some money. Because of caring about her sister, she took them over and opened a small shop for them with her money.

Although they could not make much money, it was enough for food and clothing, at least better than in the village. In the beginning, the man still worked hard. After a few months, he consorted with several nearby hooligans, and he became a gambling addict then.

The store didn't earn much money for them. It wasn't long before the savings were gambled by the man. Wen Xiaoqian had no choice but to pay for his debts. Seeing that his sister-in-law could make money, he became even more unscrupulous in gambling.

The Breakfast Lady did not want her sister's hard-won money to be run out of by him, so she stopped her sister from paying for his debt. It annoyed the man, so he beat her at home almost every day.

Wen Xiaoqian was very angry after knowing it. Not only did she stop giving money, but she also asked her sister to divorce. The Breakfast Lady was beaten into despair. She really wanted to divorce several times. But the man threatened her and said that as long as they divorce, he would not let her see the child again, and he would sell the child to the mountains. The Breakfast Lady then compromised.

Wen Xiaoqian, seeing her sister be controlled by the man totally, had to let them go. But her hatred for the man got heavier. She no longer gave money to her sister, but she saved some for her little niece, waiting for her to go to school later.

"Miss Xia is a good person. She wounded him for me. I won't let him mess around." The Breakfast Lady said hurriedly.

"If you can manage him, you won't make it like this. But he doesn't dare to do anything to Miss Xia. Otherwise, he'll land himself in serious trouble." Wen Xiaoqian said to her sister.

"Miss Xia is not like an unreasonable person. She just gave the medical expenses on her own initiative." The Breakfast Lady was a little scared when she heard it. How did they, the countrymen, dare to offend people in the city?

"Sister, you think too much. I mean Miss Xia will not connive at his bad temper. I did not say that she will bully you. Just relax. She is not that kind of person." Wen Xiaoqian quickly comforted her scared sister.

The Breakfast Lady was relieved then. After she sent Wen Xiaoqian into the elevator, she quickly went back, not wanting her husband to take the opportunity to quarrel with Xia Yu.

Since Xia Yu met Wen Xiaoqian, she had to talk with her. She asked Shen Qiang to stay there to handle the problems and then said to the Breakfast Lady: "I didn't expect Miss Wen to be your sister. She is an acquaintance to me. I will say hello to her."

"Oh, fine!" The Breakfast Lady answered.

The man muttered aside. "They know each other. No wonder that they have the same bad temper!"
