Chapter 1647: An Awkward Injury

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Without any hesitation, Mother Sun took away half of the money that the family had saved up for Sun Guohong’s university fees to pay for Sun Guohong’s hospitalization bills.

They were both his sons, so there was no reason for Father Sun to care only about his elder son while ignoring his younger son. Father Sun expressed that it was more important to save a life. In an emergency situation like this, it was all right to use this sum of money. But Mother Sun had obviously taken more than what was necessary. His younger son’s hospitalization bills would not amount to such a huge sum. He asked Mother Sun to return the excess money and he would think of a way to gather more money to send his elder son to university.

But Mother Sun refused. “Mingming is still so young. It’s so pitiful that he has to be hospitalized. You’re only thinking about the hospitalization bills. Why don’t you think about what Mingming will eat and drink throughout this period? Mingming is already sick. He has to eat nourishing food. Is that too much to ask for? I’m even afraid that I might not have taken enough money! I’m not returning it!”

Seeing that Father Sun was in a rage, Sun Guohong tried to persuade him. “Dad, don’t fret over my school fees. I’ve heard that you can take a loan to go to school now. I’ll take a loan on my own. You and Mom don’t have to pay the loan either. When I get a job after graduation, I’ll slowly repay the loan myself. As for my living expenses, I’ll find a job to pay for it. It’s all right, Dad.”

Sun Guohong knew that his family did not earn much from farming in an entire year. It was too heavy a burden on the family to raise two children. Besides, his younger brother, Sun Guoming, had already been weak and frail ever since he was born. When his mother was out of breast milk, the family struggled to even afford Sun Guoming’s milk powder. Now that he was grown up, he would take care of his own tuition fees.

But no matter how much Sun Guohong had planned, he could not out-plan his own mother. Mother Sun asked, “Since you’re going to take a loan, can you take a bigger loan? You see, Mingming is still so young. We’ll have to spend a lot of money to raise him. Your dad and I are already letting you go to university. Mingming will need money to study in the future too. Look. Why don’t you take a bigger loan for Mingming? Mingming is your biological brother after all!”

“...” Sun Guohong was speechless. Was it his decision to say how large of a loan he could take? Besides, this sum of money had to be repaid. If he borrowed more, he would have to repay more in the future. He did not want to increase his parents’ burden, but his mom was not even afraid of increasing his burden!

“Can’t you do that? You can’t even do that? Didn’t you say that you can work part-time while studying to earn some money? So just give me part of that loan. I’ll save it up for Mingming. Go have a discussion with your teachers and tell them about our family situation. Tell them that you’ll owe the school your tuition fees for the time being. When you find a job and earn some money, you’ll pay off your debts. Your dad and I haven’t raised you for nothing. Now, you don’t even need us to pay for your tuition fees, and you can even take some money out to save it for Mingming!”

Sun Guohong had not even agreed, but Mother Sun had already planned it all out for Sun Guohong to prevent Sun Guohong from rejecting her.

Now that she had already put it so nicely, would her elder son be so shameless as to reject her?

Sun Guohong, who had been so considerate toward his parents’ predicament, immediately lost his confidence to attend university after hearing his mother’s words. His mother had made such thorough calculations, but she had not stopped to think about Sun Guohong at all. He was only working part-time in whatever free time he had. How much could he possibly earn?

The money he earned would barely cover his living expenses if he scrimped and saved. How would he ever be able to use his earnings to pay for his tuition fees? Even if he managed to save enough to pay off his school fees by selling his life, was he going to starve to death in school?

Perhaps, it was because of his youth that he decided to forgo university in an act of defiance. Instead, he decided to sign up for the military, and that was how Sun Guohong met with a chief like Zhai Sheng.

Sun Guohong stayed in the military for over ten years, turning from a young chap in his twenties to an uncle in his thirties. When Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng’s triplets entered elementary school, Sun Guohong had not gotten married yet.

Before that mission, Zhai Sheng even joked with Sun Guohong. “After you return from the mission, I’ll recommend that you be promoted. Remember that you’re not young anymore. It’s about time you solve your personal problem. Didn’t you say that you have a fiancée back in your village? Hurry and finish that marriage report. I’ll approve it for you. Just as well. Take the opportunity to get a good break after you’re back from this mission and get married. It’ll be best to have a child at the same time.”

At that time, Sun Guohong himself felt that he was no longer young and could not keep that lady waiting for him. As such, he answered Zhai Sheng’s ‘order’ very seriously. “Don’t worry, chief. I promise I’ll finish the task you’ve assigned to me.”

But who would have known that Sun Guohong would get into an accident during this mission, and an explosion would go off between his legs.

Upon hearing that Sun Guohong had been hospitalized, Mother Sun brought Sun Guoming and Sun Guohong’s fiancée to the capital to visit Sun Guohong. Zhai Sheng was delighted to hear this piece of news and felt that Sun Guohong had not sent money back to his family in vain all these years.

But what had happened afterward caught everyone off guard.

The site of Sun Guohong’s injury was too sensitive, and after checking on Sun Guohong, the doctor privately told Sun Guohong that his injury would not affect his missions in the future, and neither would it affect Sun Guohong as a ‘man’. A normal married life was still possible. It was just that it would be much harder for Sun Guohong to get a woman pregnant in the future. Because of that explosion, almost all of Sun Guohong’s sperm tubes were broken.

Sun Guohong was stunned and unable to respond for a long time.

No one knew how Mother Sun managed to learn of the news. But in short, she was in no way less capable than the scouts in the military. Upon understanding the situation, she immediately discussed the matter with Sun Guohong. “Guohong, I know all about what happened. Don’t worry. Mom will stay by your side. The most important thing right now is for you to get married with Yanyan as soon as possible!”

Sun Guohong’s heart warmed. “Mom, I can’t do that. I can’t hurt Yanyan like that. Yanyan is a good seven years younger than me. Now that I’m in this state, I can’t possibly take away Yanyan’s chance of being a mother, right? I’ll personally explain my situation to Yanyan and call off the engagement. She can find a better man in the future.”

“It’s all right. Yanyan already knows about your situation, and she’s even willing to marry you. Besides, there’s no need to worry, Guohong. No one else apart from our family knows about this. No one will laugh at you for this. Mom has a way of letting you become a dad!” Mother Sun’s eyes twinkled.
