Chapter 73

"There's still hope; perhaps he can still be saved."

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu snapped back to her senses and immediately hugged Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng, rushing to the hospital.

But Jia Jia Jia Dongxu retorted, "You three old bastards, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"My Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng is perfectly fine; why go to the hospital?"

"These are trivial matters; why waste money on them?"

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu halted in her tracks, turned to look at Sha Zhu, her face streaked with tears: "Zhu, can you lend your sister some money?"

"With Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng in this state, there's no money left in the house."

"Once I receive my wages, I will definitely pay you back."

This was a promise Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had been making for years, painting grand pictures that never materialized.

Upon hearing this, the three elders all involuntarily stepped back several paces.

They certainly would not contribute any money.

Everyone knew that borrowing money from Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu meant it was gone for good!

But Sha Zhu was different.

In a moment of heated impulse, he followed along, saying, "Sister Qin, I have ten yuan here; let's go to the hospital first."

Sha Zhu was not lying.

He had suffered greatly during this period; most of that money had been lent to him by the First Elder and the Deaf Old Lady.

Truly, this was all he had left in his pocket.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu felt somewhat troubled.

Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng had already cried himself into unconsciousness.

She knew that Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng's injuries might be severe.

Ten yuan...

It was very likely not enough.

With no other options now, they would just have to take one step at a Third Third Third Third Time.

The two of them hurriedly headed to the hospital.

Seeing that Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had managed to borrow money, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu stopped saying anything else.

As long as she didn't have to pay, everything was fine.

Besides, Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng would surely be fine; Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu was just wasting money.

If Sha Zhu was willing to play the fool, she certainly wouldn't stop him.

Only after seeing Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu leave did Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye lie back down to sleep.

"The Thief Saint is indeed the Thief Saint; even as a child, he was a ruthless character."

"Having practiced the Sunflower Manual, it won't be long before he's begging for roasted chicken."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye fell asleep.

He didn't need to think about the remaining matters.

On the other side.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu arrived at the hospital with Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng.

The doctor took one look and was immediately stunned.

They had never seen a case like this before.

"How can you be such parents?"

"The child is no longer small; don't you know how to educate him properly?"

"Furthermore, with such severe injuries, why did you only bring him in now?"

The doctor lectured them at length.

The more Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu listened, the more frightened she became, her face turning pale with shock.

Her son...

From now on, he could no longer be a son?

To put it plainly, had Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng become a eunuch?

How could this be possible!

He was perfectly fine earlier today!

"Doctor, can he still be saved now?"

"Shouldn't we perform surgery immediately?"

Sha Zhu asked, snapping back to reality.

The doctor replied irritably, "It's too late for surgery!"

"How can a child this age lack even a bit of common sense?"

"You had better ask him what happened."

"If the child is too afraid to speak, then call the police."

Call the police?

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu suddenly shouted, "We cannot call the police!"

Both the doctor and Sha Zhu were startled.

If they weren't going to call the police, then they wouldn't.

Was there really any need for Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu to be this agitated?

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu said in a panic, "I know my own child."

"This definitely wasn't done by anyone else."

"It must be... it must be that he was playing by himself and accidentally did it."

What?!

The doctor's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

This child looked to be nearly ten years old.

Done by playing by himself?

Could he possibly be a fool?

Did he take a knife and stab himself into becoming a little eunuch?

Sha Zhu also felt that Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's lie was a bit too far-fetched.

Bang Geng was absolutely not that kind of fool.

However, the doctor did not press the matter further; he simply performed a basic suturing on the patient.

He prescribed some medicine, costing only five yuan, six jiao, and two fen.

They were busy until well past midnight.

The fool carried Bang Geng in his arms, with Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu following behind, as they returned to the courtyard.

They finally managed to endure until dawn broke.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had just gotten up.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother began wailing loudly, "Oh, heavens above!"

"Why is my fate so bitter!"

"My precious grandson, who has harmed you into becoming a eunuch!"

Many people in the courtyard were startled awake.

"Jia Geng has become a eunuch!"

"Our courtyard has gained another young man with no heirs!"

050. The Sucker, Sha Zhu

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

This single shout from Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother left everyone completely bewildered.

Every household hurried to get up to watch the spectacle.

"What's going on?"

"Bang Geng is back, and he's become a eunuch?"

"How could this be? That kid is quite formidable too; who on earth harmed Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng?"

"Why didn't Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu call the police?"

"Her family has always been unable to tolerate even the slightest loss, so why didn't she call the police?"

"That little White-Eyed Wolf, Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng, has stolen things countless times, yet no one ever intervened!"

"Now that he's turned into a little eunuch, he simply got what he deserved; this is called retribution!"

"Stop talking; if Jia Jia Jia Dongxu hears you, she'll start wailing and rolling on the ground again."

Like a sudden gust of wind, everyone in the courtyard gathered at Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's doorstep.

Third Aunt asked, "Jia Jia Jia Dongxu, are you spouting nonsense?"

"Isn't Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng perfectly fine?"

Second Aunt stretched her neck out: "Jia Jia Jia Dongxu, is Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng alright?"

"If you speak like that, how will the child ever face people again?"

First Aunt let out a long sigh.

A perfectly good child, raised by Jia Jia Jia Dongxu into such a state.

Heaven truly does have its eyes closed.

It was a pity she herself had no children.

Otherwise, a child would absolutely never be raised like this.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu felt stifled and aggrieved in her heart; ignoring the crowd, she began another bout of wailing.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu stood aside wiping away tears: "I've made everyone worry."

"Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng... is fine."

"The doctor said since the child is young, he'll be fine once he grows up."

Yet in her heart, she already hated Jia Jia Jia Dongxu to the extreme, wishing she could tear her apart alive.

That wretched old woman insisted on wailing, determined to blow this matter out of proportion.

How would Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng ever face people again? He was still just a child.

If this spread, how would Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng ever face people again!

But Jia Jia Jia Dongxu cared nothing for this; right now, she wanted to drag out the true culprit and make that person pay compensation.

Thus,

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu directly woke Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng: "Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng, Grandma's precious grandson, tell me, who did this?"

"Who harmed you and turned you into a eunuch?"

"Speak up, and Grandma will avenge you!"

Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng had been sleeping soundly, but upon hearing Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's voice, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Grandma, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"I was practicing a martial arts secret manual, the Sunflower Manual!"

"In the future, I'll even cook delicious food; I'm not a eunuch, I'm an expert!"

The little White-Eyed Wolf still remembered the illustrated content from the Sunflower Manual.

That person later became Dongfang Bubai!

He too wanted to become the kind of person who walked alone across the martial world.

Upon hearing this, Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's mind instantly froze, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

Had her own son gone mad?

What Sunflower Manual?

What expert?

What kind of gibberish was this?

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu was also dumbfounded: "Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng, what nonsense are you saying?"

"Who gave you the knife? Who harmed you?"

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu, risking her very life, shook Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng while shouting.

Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng thought for a moment; his mind was a bit muddled, perhaps due to the anesthetic.

"This is so annoying; I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"

Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng said nothing more, lay down, and went to sleep.

But Jia Jia Jia Dongxu believed that Whether Whether Whether Seeing Bang Geng had been threatened by a bad person and dared not speak.

Glancing around, she said viciously:

"No matter who harmed my precious grandson, just don't let me find out."

"Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life, I will make their entire family live in utter chaos!"

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu watched Jia Jia Jia Dongxu from the side, shaking her head helplessly.

She did not want Jia Jia Jia Dongxu to cause any more scenes, so she quickly said: "It was just children playing; getting a scratch is normal, nothing serious."

"Thank you all for your concern."

If she allowed Jia Jia Jia Dongxu to continue making a scene, the child's life would truly be ruined forever.

He wouldn't be able to hold his head high, let alone find a wife.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu had no choice but to brush things off perfunctorily and send everyone home.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye hummed a tune as he rode his bicycle to work.

However, his first stop was Bai Lu's home.

He had to go notify his second brother-in-law first, so the man could accompany him to the factory for the interview.

The second brother-in-law had even dressed up specially for the occasion.

He even performed a demonstration right in front of Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

"Lu... brother-in-law, how do you think I performed?"

"Surely the section chief will take a liking to me?"

"I also have a manuscript here; could you take a look at it for me?"

Bai Jianshe, the second son of the Bai family, had already changed how he addressed him.

Just a few days ago he was calling Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye by his full name, but today he had switched to "brother-in-law."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was delighted.

He took the manuscript and read it through carefully: "It looks good."

"Just change this part here."

"As for this professional knowledge, I don't really understand it; as long as you do, that's fine."

"And here, say some pleasant words, like 'taking the factory as home' and so on."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianshe was suddenly enlightened, and his admiration for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye grew even stronger.

The two ate some steamed buns and then made their way to the Rolling Mill.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye brought Bai Jianshe to the section chief's office.

After introducing him to the section chief, he returned to his own work.

The so-called interview was merely a formality, designed to leave others with no grounds for complaint.

Within an hour, Bai Jianshe ran joyfully to the cafeteria to find Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I passed the interview."

"The section chief chatted with me at length and is very satisfied with me."

"He even said I can start work officially tomorrow!"

Bai Jianshe was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

This left Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye completely baffled.

Wasn't getting a job a good thing? Why was he reacting like this?

After finally calming Bai Jianshe down, the man said: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I truly cannot thank you enough."

"You don't know how important this job is for me and my family."

"With this job, our family's financial situation will improve considerably."

"Furthermore, I'll finally have the confidence to look for a partner."
