Chapter 88 You're the one who makes the most of all the fuss!

"No... I won't be cut, I don't want to be a eunuch, I can't be a eunuch..."

Yi Zhonghai was rambling incoherently, his mind clouded, and he was gripped by deep fear.

His body was shaking like a leaf.

"Then...do you know anyone who can perform this surgery?"

Li Guihua disregarded any taboos and dragged the doctor out of the room.

Her voice was full of anxiety—right now, as long as she could live, nothing else mattered.

The doctor frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"I do know a 'master craftsman' who used to work in the morgue; his skills are unparalleled."

"But so many years have passed, I don't know if that person is still alive."

Upon hearing this, Li Guihua's eyes immediately lit up.

As if grasping at the last straw, he hurriedly said:

"Please tell me the address quickly, I'll go find it right now!"

The doctor gave her a location, and Li Guihua paid the consultation fee.

They also gave the doctor an extra generous travel fee and respectfully escorted him to the gate.

She then hailed a rickshaw and hurriedly headed to that address.

When they arrived at the destination, the other party completely ignored them.

No matter how much she begged, or even invoked the name of the matchmaker, she was unmoved.

The other party simply wouldn't open the door, and didn't even give a single response.

Left with no other option, Li Guihua had to turn back and find the doctor again.

The doctor looked embarrassed and admitted that he only knew that "old master".

She doesn't have that much influence; let her find another way.

With nowhere else to turn, Li Guihua had no choice but to seek help from the He family again.

The old lady happened to be sunbathing in the yard.

After listening to her tearful account, I felt truly sorry for Li Guihua.

He then said, "Yi family daughter-in-law, you need to make another trip—"

"Stop begging and crying this time, give me the address clearly, okay?"

Li Guihua was taken aback for a moment.

Upon careful reflection, I suddenly realized...

When they went for help before, they were only focused on wiping away tears and pleading.

But he completely forgot to mention the most crucial address.

No wonder they were kicked out.

After the old lady reminded him,

She immediately rushed out the door again in a great hurry.

This time, they got straight to the point as soon as they entered.

He immediately gave out the detailed address.

After hearing this, the "capable person"

He simply tossed out a cold sentence:

"Is the owner of that courtyard still alive?"

"There's... just one old lady left."

Li Guihua answered in a trembling voice.

"Alright, I'll go with you—"

Wait here for me a while.

I'll go pack my things.

The "capable person" followed Li Guihua to the He family's backyard.

They first went forward to pay their respects to the old lady of the He family.

The two simply nodded slightly to each other.

He didn't say much throughout the whole thing.

He then went straight to the Intermediate People's Court.

He glanced at Yi Zhonghai's injuries upon entering the room.

He immediately withdrew.

Frowning indicated that one person couldn't hold down the burly man.

We need to find another helper.

Upon hearing that he needed to help hold the person down and draw the knife, He Daqing...

My heart started pounding—

Once you get involved in such a despicable act, you're sure to be hated.

He absolutely did not want to get involved.

So I came up with an idea:

"Should we tie them up securely first?"

The "capable person" carefully looked Yi Zhonghai up and down.

Suddenly, he let out a sinister chuckle.

He then slowly nodded:

"Okay, go find a rope quickly."

He Daqing felt a chill run down his spine from that look.

He didn't dare linger in the Intermediate People's Court either.

Afraid that making too much noise would frighten the children at home,

He quickly pulled Chen Shuxiang along.

Holding He Yushui,

They hid in the backyard together with He Yuzhu.

That "capable person" was indeed quite skilled.

A bowl of unidentified herbal soup was brought out from somewhere.

He grabbed Yi Zhonghai's chin and forced him to drink it.

Then he and Li Guihua,

They bound Yi Zhonghai, who was struggling desperately, into a "big" shape.

A towel was stuffed into Yi Zhonghai's mouth.

All it could do was move its bloodshot eyes.

That look was so fierce it seemed like it could kill—

He stared intently at that "capable person."

He then viciously stabbed at his wife, Li Guihua.

"You little brat, you better remember what I look like—"

So you want to get revenge on me once you're healed?

I've seen plenty of guys like you!

If it weren't for...

"I don't care whether you live or die, you bastard!"

Faced with Yi Zhonghai's almost murderous gaze,

The "capable person" didn't care at all.

Instead, he retorted in a sinister tone.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head with difficulty again.

He glared at Li Guihua with his last bit of strength.

Li Guihua wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears.

Choking back tears, she kept trying to persuade him:

"Honey, saving your life is the most important thing..."

If all else fails, we can adopt one later.

"Can't you just raise them properly to adulthood?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes

Finally, two lines of desperate, turbid tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

The "capable person" moved very nimbly.

Clean and efficient.

Even so,

Even if anesthesia was administered beforehand,

Yi Zhonghai's body suddenly convulsed violently.

Those bursts of mournful sobs, unlike human voices...

Startled, Li Guihua, who was helping to press on her chest, backed away repeatedly.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground with a limp backside.

After sprinkling a layer of hemostatic powder,

The "capable person" immediately reached out for money:

"Give it to me, twenty silver dollars."

Li Guihua blurted out instinctively:

"This...this is way too expensive."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that we're acquaintances..."

You think you can get me for this little bit of money?

One small yellow croaker might not even be enough!

"Could you... make it a little cheaper?"

"Trying to renege on your debt?"

No, no, no, it's not about renege on a debt.

It's just... just too expensive.

Li Guihua's lips trembled with heartache.

"Hmph, go back thirty years..."

Even if you kneel down and beg me,

I might not be willing to make that cut.

In this day and age,

"It's good enough that someone is willing to take this job."

"Please...please wait outside for a moment."

"I...I'll go get the money for you right away."

"OK!"

Looking at the pale-faced

Yi Zhonghai, who had fainted from the pain,

Li Guihua felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She gritted her teeth, fighting back the tears welling up in her eyes.

He turned and went back into the house, pulling out all his savings from a hidden compartment where he had kept his money.

A full twenty heavy silver dollars.

When you leave home,

She did not immediately hand the money to the other person.

Instead, he cautiously asked:

"Could you give me a little more of your medicine powder?"

The "capable person" pondered for a moment.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Fine, I see your family is truly pitiful."

"I'll let you off easy this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

At the same time, extend the other hand.

It was clear that he wanted to "pay in cash and deliver goods" with her.

Li Guihua reluctantly handed over the heavy money bag.

The "capable person" weighed the money bag in his hand.

Satisfied, he placed the small porcelain bottle into her hand.

"Change the dressing once a day, don't forget."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

At this moment, Li Guihua

He could only grit his teeth and thank her repeatedly through tears.

Her heart was filled with extreme bitterness.

The woman before him had personally destroyed her husband's body, extinguishing his hopes.

She still had to be grateful to her enemy.

After receiving the money,

The "capable person" didn't even turn his head.

He turned around and walked away quickly.

Li Guihua constantly thought about Yi Zhonghai.

He turned and ran home.

Looking at the woman lying on the bed with her face as pale as paper...

The man remains unconscious.

She covered her mouth tightly.

He let out wave after wave of suppressed, silent sobs.

She cried for a long time.

She forced herself to cheer up and tidied up the severed remains.

They went out and found a secluded, deserted corner.

They dug a pit and buried it properly.

After dealing with all of this,

She dragged her incredibly heavy steps to the He family's house again.

They came specifically to thank the old lady for her guidance.

The old lady didn't ask a single more question about the details.

He simply offered her a few words of comfort in a gentle voice.

Since Li Guihua came to visit in person,

This means the matter has been resolved.

The man finally survived that fatal blow.

After Li Guihua left,

The old lady sighed softly:

"That girl from the Li family has had a tragic life."

"That's right, sigh!"

Chen Shuxiang also let out a heavy sigh.

"Alright, these days..."

How many people's lives are free from hardship?

Making sure we live our own lives well is the most important thing; that's what really matters.

He Daqing quickly chimed in from the side.

There was one more thing he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to:

Will Yi Zhonghai take this knife wound?

Actually, there's not much difference—

Anyway, deep down he's infertile.

They simply can't have children.

the other side,

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were practicing martial arts in the backyard.

Xu Damao's curiosity was bursting.

She kept pestering him with questions.

The commotion at the Intermediate People's Court last night was quite significant.

He and Zhao Yecui had actually been awake for a while.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Yecui

I once secretly went to the entrance of the Intermediate People's Court and peeked inside—

There was no woman inside.

Then he turned around and went back into the house.

Li Guihua happened to be at the He family's house at the time.

Xu Damao kept pestering his mother with questions,

All I got in return was a stern rebuke:

"Go back to sleep, you're such a busybody!"

He tossed and turned in bed all night, baking pancakes.

I tossed and turned until late at night before finally managing to fall asleep.

Early in the morning, his mother stopped him again, not letting him go to the central courtyard to watch the excitement.

As soon as He Yuzhu arrived,

He could no longer stop talking.

The questioning made He Yuzhu feel agitated.

There was really no other way.

He was given two solid slaps on the neck.

This kid finally calmed down completely.

He Yuzhu actually went out secretly last night—

He followed Zhao Yonghe back.

If the system hadn't issued an emergency task in time...

Zhao Yonghe probably won't be coming back.

[Task Reward: Calligraphy (Beginner Level)]

A complete set of the Kangxi Dictionary (contents can be directly imported).

Anyway, most of the task rewards provided by the system are quite useful.

Although He Yuzhu didn't know when these things would come in handy,

But this set of Kangxi Dictionary is definitely a rare find.

He took it out and casually flipped through a few pages.

The printing is exquisite and meticulous.

It is a rare and valuable book published by Tongwen Bookstore during the Guangxu era.

The moment I turned the page,

Jia Laonian suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his temples—

The book's writing style is quite peculiar.

It is read vertically from right to left.

In addition, the entire text is filled with obscure and difficult-to-understand characters.

Many characters can only be barely recognized by guessing and making assumptions.

Fortunately, I had something with me that could directly impart knowledge.

Otherwise, given his fiery temper,

I couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.
