Chapter 120: Seeing the Light Again

~7 min read 1,327 words

Time flies; in the blink of an eye it's already the Little New Year.

In the end, Shazhu still chose to use Qin Huairu's method.

He spent an extra ten coins to buy a wheel, and had the Deaf Old Lady help return the wheel.

He also had the Deaf Old Lady threaten Yan Bu Gui.

In short, he must not let him get caught.

The Deaf Old Lady originally blamed Shazhu for insulting her.

Just.

Thinking that Yi Zhonghai no longer cares to talk to her, she now has only Shazhu to rely on.

She can only help Shazhu get the matter settled.

She employed all her means and finally forced Yan Bu Gui to drop the accusation against Shazhu.

There's no way.

If Yan Bu Gui doesn't agree, she won't leave.

She just sits at Yan Bu Gui's doorstep and won't go.

Under her pressure, Yan Bu Gui also has to give up.

Actually, this was within Lin Shengli's expectations.

But it doesn't matter; there's plenty of time and opportunity to slowly play with Shazhu.

He has also thought it over: if Shazhu still dares to provoke him, this time he'll first snip Shazhu's tendons.

Shazhu can cook, can't he?

I'll stir the fire a bit, have Xu Damao cut his tendons; even if he recovers, he won't be able to flip the wok again.

Xu Damao now listens to him, because he taught Xu Damao a few grappling moves.

Besides, Xu Damao has been holding back a grudge, always wanting to get revenge on Shazhu.

Hu Tongkou.

Zheng Guangming, Da Mao, Er Mao and others are setting off firecrackers.

Yesterday, Zheng Guangming's eyes had the stitches removed.

He finally saw the light.

Lin Shengli originally planned to take him to see a doctor after the New Year.

But after thinking it over, he decided to let Zheng Guangming see the light before the year ends.

So, in the preceding period, whenever he had free time, he studied medicine with Ding Qiunan.

His medical skills advanced by leaps and bounds; with a bit more effort, they'll reach the divine level.

Therefore, after taking Zheng Guangming to the hospital and checking him with professional equipment, he identified the problem.

Afterwards, he found a small clinic and performed the surgery himself.

In just five days, Zheng Guangming saw the light again.

This also moved Zheng Juan greatly.

Today is the Little New Year, and Lin Shengli bought many firecrackers.

He plans to let Zheng Guangming, Da Mao and Er Mao have a good time setting them off.

Bang Geng, Xiao Dang and Huaihua sit aside, watching them set off firecrackers.

Their faces full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Xiao Dang, looking at the expressionless Bang Geng sitting there, asked:

"Brother, how do they have so many firecrackers?"

"They've been setting them off since morning and are still going."

Bang Geng: "Oh, it's nothing."

Bang Geng: "Nothing remarkable about it."

Bang Geng: "It's just setting off firecrackers; we're not like we've never done it before."

Bang Geng: "Actually, I'm already sick of it."

Bang Geng: "Otherwise I could find a way to get some fireworks."

Huaihua, in a babyish voice, said:

"Brother, brother, just now Guangming brother gave me a few firecrackers."

Bang Geng, hearing this, asked excitedly:

"Where?"

Huaihua pulled a few firecrackers from her pocket and said:

"Here, this is from Guangming brother."

"He said his eyes are fine and wants me to share his happiness."

Bang Geng: "Huaihua, give it to brother, okay?"

Xiao Dang: "Brother, didn't you just say you're sick of setting them off?"

Bang Geng: "Oh, I am sick of it, yeah."

"But these are the little blind man's firecrackers; I'll set them off hard once, turning him blind again."

Xiao Dang: "Brother, Uncle Shengli said that anyone who dares to call Guangming brother a blind man will definitely not be spared."

Bang Geng hummed and said: "Lin Shengli doesn't count!"

"I don't take him seriously."

Huaihua: "Brother, are you going to use firecrackers to blow up Guangming brother?"

Bang Geng: "Of course not, he hasn't offended me now either."

Xiao Dang: "Then how could you blow him up blind again?"

Bang Geng: "These are his firecrackers; I set them off, and while doing so I cursed him—maybe it worked."

Huaihua: "Then I can't give it to you, Guangming gege is very good."

Just now he still gave me an ice pop to eat.

After saying that, he slipped the firecrackers into his pocket.

Bang Geng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Dang asked: "Right, bro, what did you go out to do?"

Bang Geng: "I'll be going up to junior high next year, you know."

"Our fifth-grade elementary school, those who haven't paid tuition all have to return to school."

"Let's make sure we all pay our tuition before the New Year."

"Even the teacher has to come for a home visit."

Xiao Dang: "Then tell Mom, let her hide."

Bang Geng smiled and said: "No need, bro has his own way."

Xiao Dang: "What way do you have?"

Bang Geng: "Shazhu."

Xiao Dang: "You want Sha Shu to pay for you?"

"But Sha Shu hasn't spoken to our mom for several days."

"I've seen them several times, and when we ran into each other we didn't even say hello."

Bang Geng: "That's just sulking."

"Both are waiting for the other to admit fault first."

Xiao Dang: "What mistake?"

Bang Geng: "I heard from grandma that a while ago, in front of everyone in the courtyard, Mom scolded Shazhu."

Huaihua: "Ah, will Sha Shu still care about us?"

Bang Geng: "Of course he will."

"These past few days he's also been secretly giving me leftover dishes to take home."

Xiao Dang: "What if Sha Shu doesn't pay for you?"

"Mom's cutting expenses today; if we pay your 2.5 yuan tuition, will we still be able to celebrate the New Year?"

Huaihua: "Exactly, Mom even told me she's going to make me a new outfit."

Bang Geng: "I already said, I won't let Mom pay."

"I've already figured out a plan."

"Shazhu will definitely be able to pay my tuition for me."

"Can you guys go back first?"

Huaihua: "I'm not going back; I still want to watch them set off firecrackers."

"Brother, there are so many of them, why don't they bring you along to play?"

Bang Geng: "It's that I don't want to play with them."

"They want to play with me, but I still don't want to play with them."

"Then you just stay there."

"I'm going to look for my tuition."

"Alright, you stay there, I'm leaving."

Bang Geng felt very disappointed, his mood was terrible.

He realized he was now completely isolated.

The companions around here no longer want to play with him.

At school it's the same; his classmates won't play with him.

Bang Geng calculated the timing and came to the place Shazhu must pass on his way home to wait for him.

Not long after, sure enough, he waited for Shazhu.

"Sha Shu."

Seeing Shazhu, Bang Geng shouted.

Shazhu grinned and said:

"Hey, little brat, you called Sha Shu?"

"That definitely means no good."

Bang Geng smiled and said:

"I'm just trying to get used to it gradually, too."

"If you don't like it, I'll just keep calling you Shazhu."

Shazhu: "Eh, that's right."

"This is the Bang Geng I have in my heart."

"We guys don't have so many rules; we do whatever makes us happy."

"I ask you, who did you give that intestine you stole from me that day to?"

Bang Geng: "I'm not telling you about that."

Shazhu: "You're not going to tell me about that?"

"I won't listen to anything else."

Shazhu left after saying that.

Bang Geng glanced at Shazhu's back, then raised their nose and spoke loudly:

"What if I could let you and my mother return to the past?"

Upon hearing that.

Shazhu involuntarily stopped.
