But things were different now, and she would cherish the kind-hearted neighbors in the village. As the saying went, one would never suffer a loss when one made more good friends.

Moreover, her knowledge of herbs and medicine would be discovered sooner or later, and instead of being seen as a monster in the future, it was more prudent that preparations were made to make the village folk believe that she knew medicine.

Li Hua was very satisfied with Xia Wan’s current state and couldn’t help but praise her. “Wanwan’s so sensible now. Your parents are in luck.

“You are also blessed, Auntie,” Xia Wan smiled.

After exchanging a few more words with Li Hua, the three set off.

As they continued on their way, Xia Feng couldn’t help but smile. “You’re quite good at talking now.”

Xia Wan glanced at him but did not say anything.

Her relationship with Xia Feng had always been good. Xia Feng was 13 this year, and when he was 11 two years ago, he would follow her around and always call her “sister” sweetly.

Xia Feng liked to tell her everything. Sometimes, when he went to the mountains to find food, he would bring it to Xia Wan as quickly as he could.

Two years ago in the summer, Xia Wan had just been in her first year of high school. She was in her puberty and fell in love with Liu Jie, a hunk from the same high school. In order to get on Liu Jie’s good side, she built a good relationship with a few of Liu Jie’s friends and even invited them to dinner. 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨m

At that time, Xia Wan had saved up little money and could only afford a meal in the county.

She chose a restaurant that had a good reputation and was located near their school. At that time, the dishes were already served, and Xia Wan had already paid for them.

Xia Feng did not know about Xia Wan’s arrangements. The meals they ate at school every day had actually been prepared by Yan Han in advance. When Xia Feng saw that Xia Wan did not bring any food, he thought that she had forgotten about it. His school was very far from Xia Wan’s, but he took the opportunity during the afternoon break to run all the way here to bring food to Xia Wan.

Because Xia Feng was wearing Xia Chen’s old clothes, the size was not very suitable. Plus, he had dashed in a hurry, so when he arrived at the restaurant where Xia Wan and the others were eating, he looked like a beggar.

When Xia Wan saw Xia Feng, she felt terrible.

Today, in order to get into Liu Jie’s good books, she pretended to be rich in front of her classmates. If she and Xia Feng were to acknowledge each other, everyone would know that she was just an ugly duckling from the village, a poor country bumpkin.

Forget about getting into Liu Jie’s good books, he would probably even despise her.

Xia Wan turned her eyes away from Xia Feng.

At that time, Zhao Lin, a girl who was close to Xia Wan, covered her nose and said with a look of disgust, “Where did this little beggar come from? Why is he here? What a bummer. Hurry up and go away.

As she spoke, Zhao Lin tried to drive him away with eyes full of disdain.

Hearing this, Xia Wan was even more afraid of confessing to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng was already prepared to call her “sister,” but after hearing Zhao Lin’s words, he clutched the lunch box in his hand uneasily, not daring to speak to Xia Wan.

Another rather large and tall boy, Song Qing, had already started shouting. “Get out of the way, you hear me? Don’t interrupt our meal!

Liu Jie, the school hunk that Xia Wan was after, glanced at Xia Feng and asked Xia Wan, “Wanwan, do you know him? I think he’s looking at you.”

Xia Wan was shocked. She didn’t expect Liu Jie to be so observant, and she didn’t dare to recognize him.

Before she could say anything, Zhao Lin, who was beside her, said with even more disdain, “Liu Jie, are you kidding me? how could Xia Wan know a beggar?”

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment when Xia Wan didn’t refute him. Then, he turned around and ran away from this embarrassing place.

Seeing that Xia Feng had run away, Xia Wan’s heart turned upside down. She stopped eating and told those people that she just remembered that she had something to do and had to go.

She quickly chased after Xia Feng and, when she caught up to him, tried to apologize. However, Xia Feng’s self-esteem had already been hurt, and he didn’t listen to her explanation. He only asked her to leave.

From then on, Xia Feng never treated Xia Wan well and even often said unpleasant things to make her feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of the past, Xia Wan felt a dull pain in her heart.

She was Xia Feng’s most trusted sister. Back then, his heart must’ve been in great agony.

Thinking of this, Xia Wan’s tears rolled down her cheeks without her realizing it.
