Chapter 1221: Scalded

Red Star Rolling Mill

The first thing Cao Weiguo did when he arrived at the factory was to find the director of the sand casting workshop.

Then, Shazhu, who was pushing waste sand, was assigned a new job: carrying molten iron.

Even though Shazhu's legs went soft when he looked at the molten iron, he had to grit his teeth and do it.

If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would happen soon!

That afternoon, Shazhu was scalded while carrying molten iron. Although there was no danger to his life after emergency treatment, one of his right legs was almost cooked, and the smell of roasted meat could be smelled through the gauze.

"Ouch! It hurts me to death! Give me an injection quickly! Ouch!"

"Uncle Yi! Go find a doctor, I'm in pain!"

After returning home from the Rolling Mill's infirmary, once the anesthesia wore off, Shazhu screamed in pain.

Qin Yanru was anxious on the side: "Uncle Yi! What should we do!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Don't worry, you take care of Zhuzi at home, I'll go invite a doctor."

After speaking, Yi Zhonghai turned and left the room, his mood complex as he listened to Shazhu's screams.

Before long, he led Blind Sun into the courtyard: "Old Sun, don't forget what I told you. Make it sound serious, scare this brat Shazhu. Just say his right leg is crippled, let him learn a lesson, and see if he dares to be careless at work in the future."

Blind Sun laughed: "Don't worry, I'm a professional at scaring people."

Yi Zhonghai brought Blind Sun into the room, and Qin Yanru hurriedly said: "Uncle Yi, you're back. Brother He is crying from the pain."

Blind Sun curled his lips: "A big man can't even stand this little bit of pain? Guan Yu scraped the bone to heal the poison without even a groan, and you're crying? Aren't you ashamed?"

Shazhu shouted angrily: "Blind Sun, stop standing there and talking without back pain. Come over and stop the pain for me, ouch, it hurts me to death!"

Blind Sun's face stiffened. He carried his medicine box to the bedside and touched Shazhu's bandaged leg: "Is it this one? The smell isn't small; is it cooked?"

Shazhu bared his teeth in pain: "Blind man, be gentle, do you want to hurt me to death!"

Blind Sun said to Qin Yanru: "Girl, come over and untie the gauze, I'll apply some medicine to this Shazhu."

Qin Yanru walked over nervously, carefully untied the gauze, and upon seeing the scalded leg, her hands went soft, and she immediately ran out to vomit.

Blind Sun took out burn medicine from the box and said while applying it: "Shazhu, your leg injury is very serious."

Shazhu bared his teeth: "I know without you saying it, it's cooked, ouch, be gentle with the medicine."

"Cough, cough!"

After Qin Yanru returned from outside, Yi Zhonghai coughed twice in a pretentious manner.

Blind Sun immediately said with a serious face: "Hey! Do you know that this leg of yours might be crippled?"

Shazhu was so scared that his eyes widened on the spot: "Crippled! Blind Sun, you're talking nonsense! The doctor at the infirmary said my leg didn't hit the bone, and it would be fine after it healed."

Blind Sun said with a serious expression: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? This is a work-related injury. The factory leaders are afraid you'll make trouble in the factory, so can they tell you the worst result? You! Just rest well. If you rest well, this leg might just limp when you walk. If you don't rest well, this leg might become a decoration. If it's serious, you might even need an amputation."

Shazhu's face turned pale as he listened, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Qin Yanru covered her mouth in shock, her heart feeling like it had been splashed with cold water.

Limp?

Decoration?

Amputation?

Shazhu was crippled!

Seeing Qin Yanru's shocked and panicked appearance, Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied: "Zhuzi, don't be afraid. What Blind Sun said isn't absolute. If you rest well, maybe this leg will be fine. Even if you limp, it won't affect your work. You must be careful when you go to work in the future. Learn from your mistakes and don't be so clumsy again."

Shazhu was as dumb as a wooden chicken, as if he had lost his soul, standing still without any reaction.

Qin Yanru sighed, turned around, and walked out of the room quietly.

Blind Sun stood up and said: "Old Yi, settle the medical expenses."

Yi Zhonghai: "How much?"

Blind Sun: "Five yuan."

Yi Zhonghai exclaimed: "How much did you say?"

Blind Sun held up the medicine bottle: "This burn medicine is a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors. It contains thirty-six precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, ganoderma, Tianshan snow lotus, panax notoginseng, poria, tortoise shell, and tiger bone. I only took it out for the sake of our neighbors. Otherwise, let alone five yuan, I wouldn't even be willing to take it out for ten or fifty yuan. This ancestral burn medicine is a rare treasure that you can't buy with money."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned blue: "Blind Sun, oh Blind Sun, why didn't you say so earlier? Shazhu could have just used some ordinary medicine."

Shazhu said: "Uncle Yi! What do you mean? My leg is like this, and you're still worried about money?"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained: "Zhuzi, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I meant Blind Sun's burn medicine is too expensive."

Shazhu: "So what if it's expensive! My leg injury is serious, so I have to use expensive medicine!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth in anger: "Use it, use it! Then you pay for it."

Shazhu was stunned for a moment, his expression awkward: "Uncle Yi, don't you know me? Where would I have money? At the critical moment, I still need you to step in. Don't worry, I'm borrowing this money, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly: "Pay back! You owe me thousands of yuan already. What are you going to pay me back with? You, I don't know what to say about you." ===== CHAPTER 1223 =====
