Ch69: Saving People For A Reason
[BL] MY TOUGH HUSBAND BOOK 1
Mo Yanzhi was not sure about Han Tingxuanâs decision, "Hubby, is it necessary?"
Han Tingxuan smiled and held his male wife's hand. "Yanzhi, if that peddler is a she-man, and even Shadow 17 can't tell the difference, then we have met an extraordinary person. He must have done something incredible to manage it. And it is very useful for us.â
In particular, he could use him as a spy, gathering information, etc.
Han Tingxuan even joked. "Yanzhi, you look the same as Big Brother. If you have mastered this technology, then you can become Big Brother, haha!"
Mo Yanzhi rolled his eyes and looked at Han Tingxuan speechlessly. "Hubby, why would I suddenly become a big brother? And you canât say that in front of others. If others heard you, it would be a big crime.â
"Haha, I'm kidding," said Han Tingxuan. "Let's follow up and take a look."
This time, Mo Yanzhi didn't object.
Han Tingxuan would never have thought that one day when they were forced into a dead-end, what he said would come true.
After that thing happened, he would personally make his male wife the emperor. However, there was no happiness at all. It was just the anger of hatred and sadness.
This day had yet to arrive. Han Tingxuan was only immersed in the joy of discovering extraordinary people.
Then, they caught up with the old man.
When the peddler arrived at his home, a two-year-old boy immediately ran out. "Grandma."
The peddler quickly picked up the child. "Xiao Lie, grandma is back. Donât be afraid. Where's your father?"
"Please go and see the father. Father is vomiting blood, wuâ¦"
The peddler hurriedly went in with the child. At this time, the green-clothed she-man ran to his house and quickly followed.
Han Tingxuan and others walked out of the corner. "Did you hear that? That boy called him Grandma.â
"I did. So he is a she-man." Mo Yanzhi was surprised.
"Let's go in and take a look," said Han Tingxuan.
âMy son.â The peddler's tears fell after entering the room. He put down the child and threw himself to the bed.
The young man on the bed was not old, at most 20 years old, and he was very skinny. Both his eyes were sunken. With a closer look, you would find that there was only one leg under the blanket!
The young man was called Zhou Luqing. When he heard the voice of his daddy, he barely opened his eyes, and then forced a small smile. "Daddy, you're back. I'm afraid. I won't see you..."
"Qing, what are you talking about?! You will get better! You will! Daddy is going to get a doctor. Get a doctor for you!"
"No, no!" Zhou Luqing shouted when he heard this. "Daddy, we don't have much money at home. No one can save me. Please don't waste any more money. Please donât do that. Or I wouldnât rest in peace.â
"Qing!" Old Man Zhou started to cry.
At this time, Zhouâs male wife called out on alert. "Ah, who are you? There is nothing in our family that you can take from! What else do you want to do?â
When Old Man Zhou and Zhou immediately looked over and saw Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi walking in.
Zhou Luqing got excited too. "You...who are you? What else do you want from us?"
Old Man Zhou was surprised. "It's you."
As Old Man Zhou knew these people and was only surprised but not angry, Zhou Luqing hurriedly asked, "daddy, do you know them? Who are they?â
"Why? Why are you here?â Old Man Zhou looked at Han Tingxuan in surprise and suddenly forgot to cry.
Han Tingxuan immediately said, "You came back in a hurry. We coincidentally overheard that something bad had happened at your home. We were a little worried. Although we donât know you, you were being kind to us. So we came to see if we could help."
Old Man Zhou was touched and sad. He cried with tears. "We are fine. Thank you for being so nice to us. You are very kind. You can go now.â
Old Man Zhou didn't want Han Tingxuan to help him with such big trouble!
Han Tingxuan said, "since we're here, we would love to help you with what we can. At least we can get a good doctor here. This is the most important thing, right?"
Old Man Zhou couldn't object.
Han Tingxuan carried Tian Zhuoyou in his arms and sent Shadow 17 to get a doctor.
It was a coincidence that Shadow 17 happened to run into Haishan on the street on his way to get a doctor from the City of Capital. Therefore, he asked Haishan to come.
Haishan The Elderly didn't know Shadow 17, but he didn't think that the young man would lie to him. Since his apprentice was also there, he decided to go and take a look.
When Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi saw Haishan, their eyes brightened. "Master Shifu!"
Haishan smiled. "It is you. What are you doing here?"
"Master Shifu, let's talk about this later. Please take a look at this patient and see what's going on with him." Mo Yanzhi led Haishan to the bed.
Haishan frowned when he saw Zhou Luqing. "What happened to him?"
Old Man Zhou started to cry. Zhouâs male wife begged, âSir, could you save my husband?â
Haishan looked at male wife Zhou and said, "Go get some hot water."
Then Haishan turned to Shadow 17 and said, "Go and buy some herbs. Where's the pen and paper?â
Old Man Zhou hurriedly went to get a pen and paper. His fingers trembled as he saw hope.
Haishan wrote a lot of medicine on the paper. "Be quick."
Shadow 17 left right away. With Haishan being here, there was no need to worry about Han Tingxuan and the otherâs safety.
"Master Shifu, you haven't diagnosed it yet. Are you sure it is right to write a prescription now?" Mo Yanzhi couldn't help but ask.
Haishan glared at his apprentice. "Is it how you donât believe your own master Shifu?"
Mo Yanzhi touched his nose, "I am just giving you a hint."
Haishan snorted. "You just put it nicely. You simply don't believe in me."
After that, Haishan glared at Han Tingxuan. "It is all your fault. You are such a bad influence on him."
Han Tingxuan was speechless.
Haishan sat by the bedside and carefully felt the patientâs pulse. A moment later, he sighed. "I can save his life, but the treatment process is painful."
"What? You can save his life? Really?â Old Man Zhou was so happy that he almost jumped up. What luck to see such a good doctor!
At this moment, Old Man Zhou was very glad that he had been kind to the kid by giving out a sugar gourd earlier!
Old Man Zhou didn't know that Han Tingxuan's help was not because of 'returning the favor', but because they were trying to learn the technology passed down by their ancestors!
Haishan looked at Old Man Zhou and nodded. "You can all go out first. I have to give him a silver needle treatment first. Don't disturb me unless I tell you to. Also, prepare some hot water.â
"Okay." Old Man Zhou nodded repeatedly.
Haishan said to male wife Zhou who was carrying a large basin of hot water, "take off all the clothes your husband is wearing and wipe his body with hot water."
"Okay," male wife Zhou quickly proceeded.
Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi went outside while Haishan and their male wife Zhou were busy inside.
Zhouâs son, Zhou Lie, was several months older than Tian Zhuoyou. The two children had already gotten along.
Old Man Zhou knelt before Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi. "You are my life saviors. Thank you so much. Thank you! Otherwise, I don't know what to do!" Old Man Zhou cried so hard.
Han Tingxuan quickly helped Old Man Zhou get back on his feet. "This is too much to take. It is just a small favor for us to do. Everything will be fine as long as your son can get healthy.â
"You are right." Old Man Zhou wiped away the tears on his face.
Next, Han Tingxuan asked Old Man Zhou about his family.
It turned out that Old Man Zhou was a she-man. His husband was the only son of his family, while he was an abandoned child. After getting married to his husband, they lived happily and had a son, Zhou Luqing.
At the time, they weren't in the City of Capital but the State of Bai.
Later, when his parents-in-law started a business in the City of Capital, the whole family came to the city, which was ten years ago. At the time, Zhou Luqing was still young, only in his teens.
Their business went well. Six years ago, when his son was seventeen years old, he married the current male wife. Their lives were even happier. Although the male wife of his son was not pregnant soon after their marriage, they didn't rush them.
However, all the changes started three years ago.
Since Old Man Zhouâs parents-in-law got older. They did not die of sickness but were angry with their competitors in business. Those people attempted to force them to sell their store.
In the end, during a conflict, his parents-in-law were so angry that they died of anger, while his husband was beaten severely on a night out three months later. Holding the grudge in his chest and the injury, he could not recover and passed away only a few months later.
And then, their store was taken away. Those evil people attacked his only son!
His son did not die because he was discovered early. But he had lost a leg forever!
Just as his son was so desperate that he was to kill himself, his male wife was found out that he was more than four months pregnant. For the sake of the child, his son survived.
However, the hidden injuries from being beaten were still there. His son had to take medicine. Therefore, they had to sell the store at a bargain price. The money they got was almost spent up in the past three years!
They were already at a dead end. Later, Old Man Zhou started street vending. But because that he was a she-man, people usually judged him. He was already in his forties, and some hooligans even sexually harassed him. He knew that these hooligans were sent by those people! Luckily, although he was abandoned by his parents, he was raised by his master Shifu before fourteen years old. His master Shifu was not a talented people but there was one skill he was an expert in, which was disguising skill. There was also a formula passed down by his master Shifu. With that formula and a mixture of some other medicinal ingredients, he could turn himself into a he-man!
In addition, the formula could increase or reduce the time effectiveness of the disguise. It could last for a year, or half a month. However, the formula was so strong. It was practically inhumane torture to take it, especially the first time. But to make a living, he had to do this!
He had done a lot of work and started to sell sugar gourd a few months ago.
Speaking of this, Old Man Zhou felt extremely sad. He couldn't help but cry again. He kept all this bitterness to himself and could not tell anyone else since he still had a grandson to take care of!
Han Tingxuan could not help but say, "Madam, since it is such a vicious competition and a murder is engaged, didnât you turn to the government?â
