Chapter 1173 — The Boss Has a Way
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Watching Manager Zhang's departing back, Yunhai Shuku could not help but heave a sigh. Things at home had only just begun to look up — there was a bit of money now, life had taken a turn for the better, everything was heading in a good direction — and then, who could have foreseen it, such a piece of rotten luck had to come along.
Yunhai Shuku turned and went to ask the doctor about the situation, while Yu Yuanyuan looked at Er Goudan, caught somewhere between anger and laughter: "Zhou Qiming, this hotheaded temper of yours — can't you change it a little? The person this time isn't like the ones at the underground boxing ring. If you beat her to death, that's a crime, isn't it? Then you'd be going to prison!"
"I never said I'd beat anybody to death. I only said I'd go demand an explanation, and beat the lion to death!" Er Goudan chuckled. "I ain't really stupid..."
At that, Yu Yuanyuan could not help but snort with laughter: "Even so, you can't just go doing whatever you please... Let's see how Mom's condition looks first..."
Yu Yuanyuan still did not know the extent of Mom's injuries; she assumed they could not be too serious. Manager Zhang had lowered his voice earlier, and she had not caught it.
After a while, Yunhai Shuku came back from outside the ward, his face all gloom, sighing and groaning.
"Dad, how are Mom's injuries? Is there going to be trouble?" The moment Yu Yuanyuan saw her father come in, she hurried to meet him and asked.
"Ach! Don't even bring it up. The doctor said that even if your mother's leg is treated, she'll be crippled — she'll limp for the rest of her life!" Yunhai Shuku sighed, and said with a kind of helpless grief: "A thing this big has happened, and that family thinks handing over money settles it — they won't even come out and offer an apology... Ach!"
"Mom's leg... is going to be crippled?" Yu Yuanyuan was stunned by Yunhai Shuku's words, and stared at her father in disbelief.
"That's what the doctor said, and that's the best case. If the recovery doesn't go well, she may not even be able to stand; she'd have to walk with a cane, and sit in a wheelchair the rest of the time!" Yunhai Shuku lowered his head, somewhat pained.
A life that had only just begun to improve — how had something gone wrong again?
"No. I have to go demand an explanation. We can't just let it go at that!" Er Goudan clenched his fists. "How can they get away with this? If they don't give me an explanation, I'll kill that lion with one punch, and we'll see whether my fist is harder or their so-called reason is!"
"Even if you beat that lion to death, it won't fix anything now!" Yu Yuanyuan glared at Er Goudan. "Let's first talk over what we're going to do from here."
"Fine by me!" Er Goudan nodded, then sighed again: "Ach! If only we could find Boss. An injury like Auntie's would be nothing at all in Boss's hands!"
"Huh? Your Boss is a doctor?" Yu Yuanyuan was startled. She knew Er Goudan had come here looking for someone, but she hadn't known that the person he sought was a doctor.
"That's right, my Boss is a divine physician! The whole reason I came this time was to deliver medicine to Boss!" Er Goudan said proudly. Wei Zhao would always be Er Goudan's pride; to speak of Wei Zhao was like speaking of himself, and it filled Er Goudan with a mighty sense of accomplishment.
"Oh? Then that means there's hope for Mom's leg?" Yu Yuanyuan was both startled and delighted at Er Goudan's words. To her mind, Er Goudan did not seem the sort to boast and brag — though that was indeed what she had thought of him when they first met, his later actions had proven he was no mere talker. He had said he would beat Boxing Master Li to death, and he truly had beaten Boxing Master Li to death; so that proved Er Goudan was a thoroughly down-to-earth sort of man.
"Of course there's hope! As long as we find Boss, there's no problem at all!" Er Goudan grinned. "That much you needn't worry about!"
