Xia Wan smiled and said to Liu Hua, “If your father hadn’t saved me back then, I might have drowned. If I don’t repay this kindness, my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life.”

“Or do you think that my life is not that important?”

Xia Wan asked in return. Liu Hua shook his head repeatedly. “Why would I? I think you’re really amazing, Xia Wan. You don’t know this, but all the villagers praise you when they talk about you. They say you’re capable. Many of our villagers have relatives in the county town, and they all agree that your clothes are good-looking and of high quality.”

Xia Wan said directly, “Wait a minute.”

Soon, she came back with a few sets of clothes in her hands.

“Come, try these on. I think these two sets suit you very well. You have a gentle personality, to begin with. This white and light blue set will complement your temperament.”

Liu Hua became even more flustered and quickly refused. “No, how can I take these for free?

“In the future, your father will be helping us to move goods every day. This is hard work, and we have to keep it a secret. Of course, we’ll have to bribe you more, so consider these two sets as the hush money,” Xia Wan teased.

Liu Hua still refused, and Xia Wan did not want to take it back. The two of them were in a deadlock.

Liu Hua knew very well that she did not need any hush money. Her father was only helping to transport some goods. It was not a trade secret. Xia Wan just wanted to find a reason to give her clothes.

In the end, Yan Han couldn’t watch any longer and said with a smile, “Huahua, when we were in the village, every time our family encountered an emergency, we would borrow your tricycle. It’s been so many years, but we’ve never given you any compensation. Now that we are in a better position, you can’t possibly reject this little repayment from us, right?”

Even Xia Chen persuaded, “Sister Liu Hua, please accept it. Our family is very grateful to you.”

Under everyone’s persuasion, Liu Hua had no choice but to follow Xia Wan’s instructions and try on the clothes she brought.

Xia Wan’s eyes flashed with surprise after she changed. At the same time, she helped her tie a new ponytail and then led Liu Hua to the mirror.

Dressed in a light blue dress, her hair was tied up in a ponytail. At the same time, she wore a light blue ribbon, making Liu Hua look exceptionally elegant. She could not help but stare blankly at herself in the mirror.

Liu Hua subconsciously pinched her face and muttered, “Is this really me? Xia Chen’s eyes were filled with praise. “Of course. You look great!”

Xia Wan nodded as well. “There’s a saying that goes, there are no ugly girls, only girls who don’t know how to dress up. As long as you use some makeup, you’ll look much more radiant. Your features are delicate and fair. As long as you dress up a little, you’ll be the most dazzling one in the crowd.”

Liu Hua was a little embarrassed by their praise. She was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands.

“I’m not as good-looking as you say. It’s all because Xia Wan picked good clothes that I look good,” Liu Hua said humbly.

Liu Hua stayed with the Xia family for a while before Xia Chen sent her back to the village.

Because Painter Liu was very close to Li and Li’s family, Xia Chen inevitably saw Xia Ru when he returned home.

When Xia Ru saw that Xia Chen had returned, she was stunned at first. Then, she immediately stormed toward him witha fierce look.

“You still have the gut to come back? You guys are doing so well in town. You’ve long looked down on our village, right? Why? Did you come back to laugh at

Xia Chen ignored Xia Ru and turned to leave, but she only grabbed him. ‘What are you doing? Speak clearly. Why did you come back?”

Xia Chen didn’t want to argue with her. He felt that Xia Ru looked very different from before.

Ever since her illness was cured, there were other girls who took her place in the factory. Then, it was Lu Lin’s matter. Then, Grandma and the others were arrested for causing trouble. The Xia family’s reputation was completely ruined. The ones who had more dealings with the Xia family were also in hiding, afraid that they would affect their family’s reputation.

“Let go of me. I just came back for a walk. It has nothing to do with you,” Xia Chen said with a cold face. He did not want to reveal that he had personally sent Liu Hua back.. Who knew what bad ideas Xia Ru might be harboring in

that head of hers?
