Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Discharge, Shame

Yesterday, the Sun Family had run out of the twenty yuan, and they did not come over to pay, so they used the ten yuan left by Doctor Gao to top it up.

Once the procedures were completed, they let Stone lie on the back seat of the jeep, and then they headed towards the village. Driving fast, it took only about ten minutes to arrive at the village.

When the villagers saw Lu Yichen come back with Stone in the military vehicle that had come to check on Luo Qiao yesterday, someone asked, "Why did they bring him back? Aren’t they treating him?"

"I’m saying, who has that spare money for his treatment? Just took over Stone and still, it’s the same as before, picked up from the health center. It’s not even as good as the Sun Family; at least they sent Stone to the health center."

Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang stepped forward and said, "Don’t speak recklessly. Lu Yichen got some special medicine from the provincial city. He’s bringing Stone back to the village for Doctor Gao to administer intravenous drips for five days for convenience in care."

"You babble without knowing anything. If you have nothing better to do, go home and clean up your own yard. It’s like a pigsty; you wouldn’t want your man to leave you over it."

The person scolded was the famously lazy Sun Yushan in the village, always too lazy to do anything but eat, and her home was so dirty and messy it was hard to take a step inside. The clothes of her family members always looked black and stiff, meaning they were so dirty and hard they weren’t washed or changed.

After hearing what Brigade Leader said, she replied with an embarrassed smile, "Well, I didn’t know, did I? Can’t I stop talking now?"

Now, it was clear Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang was a hundred percent on Lu Yichen’s side. He was Wei Cheng’s comrade-in-arms, and also, Lu Yichen had discussed the matter of bringing Stone back today for special medicine with him.

Seeing Stone’s back, everyone couldn’t help but gasp. It was truly heartbreaking; how could it be so severe? Because the burned blisters had been drained, a lot of the skin had discolored, and the yellow medicine applied at the health center in these past days made it look particularly horrifying.

A new wave of criticism started among the villagers, cursing the Sun Family, cursing Kong Yuru - the Second Wife of Sun Family, for being heartless and mercilessly injuring the child like this.

Sun Baoqing, Stone’s second uncle from the Sun Family, was also among the crowd. His wife had told him it was not a big deal, but now seeing his nephew’s back, he was overwhelmed with shame.

Hearing the villager’s curses against their Sun Family, he realized why his big brother and younger brother wouldn’t support them this time; such deeds were inhumane.

Sun Baoqing quietly left the crowd, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Others didn’t know, but he was keenly aware that his current job was obtained in exchange for his sister’s life.

His family was unaware, he had not even told his wife, Kong Yuru. It was the promise made to him secretly by the culprit, to quickly squash and handle the incident in exchange for finding him a temporary job.

Now, seeing how his wife had scalded his nephew and denied him treatment, all three branches of their family had conspired to push the nephew onto someone else. He wondered whether, a hundred years later, when he went down to the underworld, his little sister would ever forgive him.

Lu Yichen carried Stone back home. Brigade Leader told the onlookers, "Disperse, disperse, go back and have your meals so you won’t miss work later."

Lu Yichen had already cleaned the kang (a traditional Chinese heated bed) in the west room last night. Now he let Stone lie there to rest, while Luo Qiao had already come over with breakfast.

Millet porridge, steamed buns, an egg custard soup for each, cold cucumbers, and homemade pickles - she brought over two full baskets.

After Stone came back, he was silent for a while. But when he saw Luo Qiao enter, tears uncontrollably streamed down his face, drop by drop.
