[Rural] Wildfire Burns Spring (Complete) - 27

Chapter 10 Strangely

enough, the People's Pharmacy had just received 20 bottles of albumin, and because the driver's cousin was the manager there, he easily bought ten bottles—they even gave him a "wholesale price" of 20 grams per bottle. Luo Erbao paid 560 yuan per bottle; if he hadn't known them, it would have cost over 600 yuan…

Using the albumin, Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's mother's condition improved further; her heart failure and cerebral infarction were greatly relieved. However, the next day, the doctor came to see Luo Erbao and his family again, saying, "The patient's heart failure and cerebral infarction have basically stabilized and are recovering well. However, her gynecological disease also needs to be completely cured before she can fully recover."

"Does she need surgery too?"

Luo Erbao asked very sensitively.

"It's already severe cervical erosion and uterine fibroids, almost on the verge of becoming cancerous. The uterus must be removed for a complete cure,"

the doctor replied.

"Tell me, doctor, how much more will it cost..."

Luo Erbao knew the doctor was there to discuss money again...

"Another 100,000 yuan prepayment..."

The doctor said this without any expression on his face, treating 100,000 yuan as casually as ten yuan.

After paying another 100,000 yuan prepayment, Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's mother quickly went to the operating table to have the chronic illness that had plagued her for years removed... Because the family had prepaid for the surgery, the hospital invited the best surgical and gynecological experts to perform the operation. The surgery was successful, and Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's mother woke up the next day...

At this point, the older sister Hu Xiaofeng and her mother's conditions stabilized. After the surgery, they both needed a period of hospitalization for observation and treatment, so Luo Erbao and Hu Xiaohu had to stay there and take turns on duty.

There happened to be a Sanhe Hotel nearby, so they booked two rooms and checked in. The taxi driver was also let go, but he left his phone number, saying he would be available at any time.

These past few days have been exhausting for Luo Erbao. He's been running around taking care of everything, even donating 400cc of blood to his older sister, Hu Xiaofeng. He hasn't had a single good night's sleep. Now that Hu Xiaofeng and her mother's conditions have stabilized, Luo Erbao can finally relax in his hotel room, take a shower, and get some rest… He even politely declined Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's advances, because he was too tired and needed to rest immediately…

He slept until after 10 a.m. the next day when Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie woke him up: "Brother Erbao, hurry to the hospital! My older sister…"

"What happened to her?"

Luo Erbao was startled—after all that effort to save her, something bad must have happened to her again?

"Come with us to the hospital quickly…"

They grabbed Luo Erbao and rushed to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they found their eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, lying pale and weak on the bed, her hands and feet bound and unable to move, probably to prevent her from attempting suicide or self-harm…

“What happened?”

After leaving the ward, Luo Erbao, Hu Xiaohu, and Hu Xiaodie went to the corridor, but finding it inconvenient to talk, they went back out to the hospital's lower garden to speak.

“My eldest sister woke up and found that her uterus had been removed. She suddenly went crazy, refusing to drink water or eat…”

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie explained to Luo Erbao.

“Why?”

Luo Erbao still couldn't fully understand.

"Didn't Erbao hear about my eldest sister's situation? She was raped by the village chief's son and had no choice but to marry him. But since then, she hasn't had a single sunny day. Her husband doesn't treat her well, and her mother-in-law is rude to her because she can't get pregnant—and now she is, but it's an ectopic pregnancy. To save her life, they even removed her uterus. All of my sister's hopes have been shattered—so when she woke up and found that she could no longer have children, of course she went crazy, of course she wanted to die..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie explained to Luo Erbao.

"Is there any way to comfort your eldest sister?"

Luo Erbao was also starting to worry.

"My sister and I have come up with a good idea that might help eldest sister solve the root of the problem."

"What idea? If it requires money, just tell us..."

It seemed that only money was available to Luo Erbao.

"This isn't just about spending money; it also requires Luo Erbao's close cooperation and genuine help for my older sister..."

"When have I ever not been sincere? Just tell me, how will you help?"

Luo Erbao wanted to resolve the issue quickly and decisively.

"Before we went back to our hometown, my sister and I were also agonizing over something—whether or not we should have the baby, whether or not we could have it. We were so conflicted..."

Hu Xiaohu's words were a bit roundabout.

"What does this have to do with your older sister?"

Luo Erbao still didn't understand what Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie were trying to say.

"Of course it's related..."

"What's the connection?"

Luo Erbao was still confused.

"In other words, my older sister has lost her fertility, but my sister and I can have children..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie actually said something like that.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Erbao seemed to understand a little, but not entirely...

Chapter 11 Taking a Risk

"Yes, it's perfect. My sister and I don't want to abort the child, but we were worried because if it's born, it won't be legitimate, and the child probably won't even be able to get a household registration—now it's great! My older sister has completely lost her fertility, and she needs her own child to maintain her marriage, or even to survive. So, we can give the child my sister and I have to my older sister, and it will be hers. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Hu Xiaohu described their idea.

"You think it's okay just because you say so? Will your older sister's in-laws agree?"

This was Luo Erbao's concern.

"That depends on whether we all work together. If we cooperate well, we can definitely transfer the child seamlessly, making my older sister's in-laws think it's their descendant!"

"Do you have any specific ideas?"

Luo Erbao couldn't imagine.

"We haven't really thought it through yet, but first we need to convince my older sister. Once she's emotionally and physically willing to have these two children, then we can proceed..."

Hu Xiaohu explained.

"Assuming your older sister agrees, or is even overjoyed, what are your next steps?"

Luo Erbao still couldn't imagine what the outcome would be.

"We roughly calculated that Hu Xiaodie and I conceived around the same time as my older sister, so there won't be any doubt about the delivery date. The key is that during this pregnancy, my older sister has to act very convincingly, ideally staying away from her mother-in-law's house, somewhere else, until Hu Xiaodie and I give birth, and then she announces the births. Wouldn't that work?"

Hu Xiaohu devised this vague plan.

"It sounds simple, but in practice, we might encounter many very tricky problems..."

Luo Erbao was still a little worried, afraid that if something went wrong in any part of the process, all their efforts would be in vain.

"Yes, there will definitely be many problems—especially dealing with my eldest sister's in-laws, it will be even more difficult. I heard that my eldest sister's mother-in-law is very picky, with sharp eyes, and she's already nitpicky. If she finds anything suspicious, she won't let it go..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie also acknowledged the difficulty.

"Yes, it will definitely be difficult to deal with, but there's no other way to save your eldest sister now, and there's no other way to solve your pregnancy issues either. So, we have no choice but to follow your proposed plan, take the risk, and proceed cautiously..."

Luo Erbao essentially agreed to Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's suggestion.

"Well then, my sister and I will go and talk to our eldest sister now—Brother Erbao, just wait for our good news!"

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie said, leaving Luo Erbao waiting outside. The two of them returned to their eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng's ward. Seeing their eldest sister tied to the bed, still in agony and struggling, they immediately went over, one on each side, and grabbed their eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng's hands, whispering to her, "Elder sister, we have a way to help you have a child..." Still relying on your hands? How can that be satisfying? Forum reputation guaranteed!

"It's impossible! My uterus and ovaries have been removed, how can I have a child!"

The eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng looked bewildered.

"Of course we can..."

"Don't try to fool your older sister with nice words. Without the ability to have children, she has no meaning or value in her existence—please let her go quickly, so she doesn't have to suffer like this anymore. The sooner she's free, the less she'll suffer!"

The older sister, Hu Xiaofeng, couldn't imagine what surprises or miracles her two twin sisters, only sixteen or seventeen years old, could bring her.

"Older sister, we know that too. She really can't have more children on her own—but what can we do? The doctor said that once you get this kind of disease, you have to accept your fate. No one can help you. In mild cases, you can keep your uterus and ovaries, but it doesn't guarantee you'll be able to conceive a healthy child again. In severe cases, like yours, to save your life, they'll definitely have to remove the fatal parts—so, older sister, you have to accept your fate..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie didn't immediately explain their specific methods to help their older sister out of this low point in her life. Instead, they first told her to accept her fate—as if only by accepting her fate would she not react so strongly.

"Of course, my eldest sister accepts her fate—her life is just so bitter! She was raped by that scoundrel, and not only could she not sue him and send him to jail, she had to endure the humiliation and marry him! She was gradually getting used to it, and all she wanted was to have a child so she could have a status in the Tang family… But she did get pregnant, but it was an ectopic pregnancy, and it almost cost her her life—that's her fate! She accepts it! So, please let her go, let her get out of this mess, don't make her fight against this terrible fate anymore, it's useless, futile, like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket, all for nothing…"

Eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng wasn't against her fate, but she was still stuck in her own mental block.

"Eldest sister, if we used unconventional methods to get her pregnant, would she still try to kill herself?"

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie began to steer the conversation towards the main point.

"How can you let your eldest sister have a child? The doctor removed all of your reproductive organs!" "

Your eldest sister's reproductive organs were removed, but Hu Xiaodie's and mys are still there. We'll help you have the baby, and then it will be yours. Do you agree, eldest sister?"

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie finally said the key words they were going to say...

Chapter 12 The Fruit of Love

"Xiaohu and Xiaodie, my good sisters, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm already like this, how can I drag you two into this mess..."

The eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, still took Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's words as some kind of comforting words, thinking that when they said they could have children, they meant that when they reached marriageable age, they would get married and have children, and she would raise them as her own...

"No, eldest sister, Hu Xiaodie and I are already pregnant, and we're worried about whether to abort them..."

Hu Xiaohu had to say the most crucial thing.

"What? You two are pregnant?"

The eldest sister was shocked.

"Yes, around the same time as my older sister got pregnant..."

"You two got pregnant at the same time?"

"Yes... one after the other..."

"Who did you get pregnant with?"

The older sister wanted to know the answer.

"With a man we both loved, of course!"

"You two became mistresses? Were you kept by someone?"

That was the only assumption the older sister, Hu Xiaofeng, could have.

"No, older sister, the man we both fell in love with is Luo Erbao, the one who paid for your and our mother's medical treatment!"

"My God, how old are you? How did you get a child?"

The older sister was utterly astonished by this.

“Sister, we didn’t mean it. Here’s what happened—you know about Hu Xiaodie being violated back in our hometown, right…”

“Yes, I know, but she wasn’t pregnant then…”

“She wasn’t pregnant, but Hu Xiaodie and I have been in Beijing for almost half a year now, and she’s still depressed and gloomy all the time, even having suicidal thoughts. To help her out of her gloom, I came up with a good idea: I wanted to lose my virginity too, so I could be like her and make her feel like she’s not different…”

“Sigh, what kind of good idea is that…”

"To be honest, the reason Hu Xiaodie tried to kill herself in the capital was because after Luo Dabao was awakened, he became mentally unstable and mistook me and Hu Xiaodie for my cousin Song Jiayin. Just as he was about to rape me, Hu Xiaodie stepped forward and hugged Luo Dabao, allowing me to escape and save my virginity. However, she was violated and defiled by Luo Dabao a second time... Sister, you know, at that point, if she wanted to die, I wanted to die with her... But, just when I had the thought of dying together, I couldn't bear to leave because I had fallen in love with Luo Erbao..."

"Then you shouldn't have used your own virginity, just like Hu Xiaodie, to comfort her..."

The older sister still couldn't understand Hu Xiaodie's initiative to seduce him.

"That's just one point. Another is that I've truly fallen in love with Luo Erbao—but he's always so distant, unwilling to get close to us sisters. So, I came up with the idea of sacrificing myself to save my sister, hoping to use that opportunity to make our relationship a fait accompli, so he'd fall in love with me..."

"But what if you lose your virginity, and he still doesn't love you back?"

"Yes, that's the premise of the problem—when I asked Luo Erbao to help save my sister, he promised to pay for her surgery to restore her virginity. I asked him if he would help both my sister and me with the surgery if I lost my virginity too. He agreed without hesitation—so I felt reassured. Even if Luo Erbao couldn't fall in love with me because of this, it wouldn't matter if my sister and I had the surgery together, because we could still become girls again..."

"Sigh, even if it's like you said, I shouldn't have gotten pregnant..."

"Oh, right, there's another detail you don't know. After Hu Xiaodie was raped by Luo Dabao, she actually got pregnant. She had no choice but to buy painless abortion pills and terminate the pregnancy. So, if I wanted to suffer the same pain as Hu Xiaodie and then restore my virginity with her, it seems like only then could Hu Xiaodie feel that we are completely the same. Then she wouldn't feel any sense of loss or comparison, because I would be exactly the same as her..."

"So, after you slept with Luo Erbao, you wanted to get pregnant and then have an abortion?"

The eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, finally understood Hu Xiaohu's absurd thoughts and actions.

"Yes, that's what I thought at the beginning!"

Hu Xiaohu immediately admitted.

"But how come you're both pregnant now?"

"To be honest, when I was being intimate with Luo Erbao, he just couldn't get it. It seemed like the pressure of losing my virginity was too much for him. At that time, Hu Xiaodie felt her body was already broken, and she really wanted to be with Luo Erbao, so she acted as a warm-up. Only after Luo Erbao did she take my virginity… And from that action itself, Hu Xiaodie's mental state recovered a lot. And since I didn't get pregnant in the first month, I spent another month with Luo Erbao, along with Hu Xiaodie. But when it was time for my period, neither of us had ours. We took a pregnancy test, and oh my god, we were both pregnant without even realizing it!

"Originally, I was thinking of getting pregnant and then having an abortion, just like my sister's experience, and then getting surgery to restore my virginity. But suddenly, we both got pregnant with Luo Erbao's child, and we both truly love him, so we're really torn about whether to keep the baby or have an abortion…"

"Let's keep them, we're not even seventeen yet, how can we have children at this age? But if we abort them, we really can't bear to, because they are the fruits of our love with the men we love! Just as we were struggling with this dilemma, we received a call from our second sister saying that something had happened at home—our mother was on her deathbed, and our eldest sister was half-dead, so we immediately flew back from Beijing..."

In one breath, Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie told their eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, the whole story...

Chapter 13 Spring Breeze and

Rain After hearing the twin sisters' story, and reflecting on her own reality, the eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, suddenly realized that perhaps this was also part of her fate. It was her destiny; she had lost her ability to have children, while her two young sisters had both become pregnant at an inappropriate age. If she could accept their children, wouldn't that solve both her infertility problem and their inner turmoil?

Besides, she had only survived thanks to her two sisters' efforts and Luo Erbao's generous help! Moreover, she had received 400cc of Luo Erbao's blood transfusion—the child he and her sister were carrying. Even if she were still capable of having children, let alone in her current situation, she should help them adopt those two children!

The eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, immediately understood and happily expressed her willingness to accept her twin sisters' advice and become their own children…

"If we can keep it a secret from my in-laws, we can just say that the child you two had was born to me…"

The eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng, had also thought of this.

“We’ve thought of that too. It’s a difficult problem, but as long as we sisters work together, and with Erbao’s brother definitely helping us wholeheartedly, we can definitely do it flawlessly and let eldest sister truly become a mother…”

“That’s wonderful! If it really allows me to realize my dream of becoming a mother, I’m willing to take any risks…”

At this moment, eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng seemed even more willing to do so than her two younger sisters…

Seeing that her eldest sister agreed, Hu Xiaohu quickly asked her younger sister Hu Xiaodie to call Luo Erbao in from outside, wanting to discuss some more specific plans with her eldest sister to put her mind at ease.

Hu Xiaodie immediately came out of her eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng’s ward and saw Luo Erbao dozing off on a bench in the hospital’s small garden, so she went over and sat down beside him. Seeing him dozing wearily on the stool, she felt an even greater fondness for this boy who was destined to change her and her family's fate. She couldn't help but reach out and stroke Luo Erbao's cheek…and then gently kiss his lips…

That affection allowed this traumatized woman to forget all her painful past and truly regain her former healthy and joyful state of mind. To put it bluntly, in that instant, Hu Xiaodie, who had been raped twice, had an abortion, suffered from unresolved depression, and ultimately chose suicide, suddenly leaped out of those shadows and completely regained her hope for a happy life and the future…

From the very first moment she saw Luo Erbao, Hu Xiaodie had fallen for this simple and honest boy from the countryside. However, the more she liked Luo Erbao, the more painful it became, because she no longer had the right to like boys—half a year earlier, a thug from her hometown had taken her virginity—so the more she liked him, the more painful it became, because she was no longer worthy of liking such an excellent boy!

Especially after seeing the mock wedding photos of her sister Hu Xiaohu and Luo Erbao, the psychological gap was even greater—her sister Hu Xiaohu still had the right to like a boy, because she was still perfectly whole! Therefore, Hu Xiaodie's depression worsened, though it hadn't yet reached the point of unbearable pain.

When Luo Dabao was awakened, on the verge of a mental breakdown, he stormed into the room, intending to rape her sister Hu Xiaohu. Hu Xiaodie immediately thought—no, her sister Hu Xiaohu is still a virgin, I can't let her lose her virginity, I can't let her lose the right to love Luo Erbao!—it was only out of this simple thought that she bravely rushed forward, hugged Luo Dabao, and let her sister Hu Xiaohu escape…

But, she never expected that after being raped, she would become pregnant. Although she had an abortion, it was like adding a new wound to an old one—basically, she was beyond saving. In this life, she would never again have the right to love or be loved by anyone!

Suicide became the theme I set for myself, but I couldn't find a suitable way to die cleanly and neatly—it must be that my sister Hu Xiaohu saw through my thoughts and came up with the idea of taking my virginity, even getting pregnant, and then having an abortion, so that she would lose all her advantages and be exactly the same as me, thus freeing me from that infinite inferiority complex...

Moreover, throughout this process, my sister Hu Xiaohu didn't shy away from me at all, even letting me play the role of her warm-up in bed—good heavens, when Luo Erbao actually entered my body, in that instant, a warm current suddenly activated my long-cooled heart, as if the winter in my heart had suddenly begun to melt away, and spring had arrived!

Like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, Luo Erbao's unreserved sexual encounters healed all her past wounds instantly. The subsequent intimate moments gradually pulled her out of her gloomy, desolate state, filling her body and soul with sunshine and warmth...

And when she and her sister, Hu Xiaodie, discovered they were both pregnant with Luo Erbao's child, Hu Xiaodie was happier than a bride!

Chapter 14 I'm Willing

The reason Hu Xiaodie was torn between giving birth and aborting the pregnancy was mainly due to her own mental fortitude. For most people, the decision might have been irrelevant, but Hu Xiaodie's experiences and ordeal made her see the pregnancy as a life-saving milestone.

It was precisely because of Hu Xiaodie's insistence that she didn't hastily abort the child, and it was this insistence that made the child in Hu Xiaodie's womb a lifeline for her older sister, Hu Xiaofeng, when she faced a cruel situation.

Looking at Luo Erbao dozing in the hospital garden, recalling these vivid memories, Hu Xiaodie couldn't help but kiss him… Only when Luo Erbao felt this loving touch did he suddenly wake up. Seeing Hu Xiaodie sitting beside him, being affectionate, he immediately said shyly, "I wasn't paying attention, I fell asleep—did my older sister agree?"

"How could I disagree! Quick, let me ask Erbao to go to the ward and work out some more specific plans with my older sister..."

Hu Xiaodie said, pulling Luo Erbao along as they headed towards her older sister Hu Xiaofeng's ward...

Just as Hu Xiaodie went to call Luo Erbao, she cleverly produced a set of wedding photos she had saved when she and Luo Erbao went to the wedding photography studio to do a makeup test and take photos for her cousin Song Jiayin. Although they didn't look that close, the two young people in the photos really did look like a couple. This made Hu Xiaofeng even more convinced that her two younger sisters and Luo Erbao were so loving, or even angels who had saved her from her suffering...

When she saw Hu Xiaodie leading Luo Erbao into the ward, she immediately beckoned him to her side and said to him with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Luo Erbao. I unconditionally accept my two younger sisters' proposal and your arrangements. As long as I can become a mother, I'm willing to give anything!"

"Thank you, eldest sister, for accepting their two children. As long as we all work together, we can definitely come up with the best way to make things seamless, so that your in-laws won't notice a single flaw, and your dream of becoming a mother can be perfectly realized..."

Luo Erbao's words were sincere and pleasing to the ear.

In the following period, while eldest sister Hu Xiaofeng and her mother were recovering from surgery in the hospital, Luo Erbao began to ponder how to implement the plan they had devised—this was a systematic project of substitution, a grand emotional drama of switching identities. Every detail had to be carefully considered, without any oversight or carelessness, otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain, and their dream would be difficult to achieve...

The core of the entire task was how to obtain birth certificates for the two children—once the birth certificates listed Hu Xiaofeng as the mother, all problems would be solved... A quick online search revealed that the so-called "birth certificate" had become a legitimate "birth medical certificate." The form includes the baby's weight, length, mother's basic information (name, age, nationality, ethnicity, and ID number), father's basic information (name, age, nationality, ethnicity, and ID number), and the name of the delivery institution.

The Birth Certificate is printed uniformly by the Ministry of Health and numbered by province, autonomous region, and municipality. The Ministry of Health is in charge of the national Birth Certificate program and entrusts health administrative departments at all levels with the specific management of Birth Certificates within their jurisdictions. The

Birth Certificate must be issued by a medical and health institution approved to provide midwifery services and legally holding a Maternal and Child Health Technical Service License.

China began using the Birth Certificate on January 1, 1996. A new version was officially implemented nationwide on July 1, 2005.

The form generally includes the following information: parents' names, ID numbers, ethnicity, baby's name, baby's registered address, mother's residential address, and bed number. If you haven't decided on a name for your baby when you are admitted to the hospital, you can use a nickname first. However, you must choose a formal name for your baby before discharge from the hospital; otherwise, some hospitals will not issue a birth certificate.

1. Fill out the "Birth Medical Certificate Self-Completion Form" carefully and meticulously, as it cannot be changed once filled out and printed.

2. Carefully check the "Birth Medical Certificate" upon receipt. If any errors are found, promptly apply to the hospital for a replacement. Alterations to the "Birth Certificate" are strictly prohibited; any alterations will render the certificate invalid.

3. The "Birth Medical Certificate" is the infant's valid legal document and must be kept safe.

After finding this information online, Luo Erbao summarized several key points: firstly, only medical and health institutions with a "Maternal and Child Health Technical Service License" can issue the so-called "Birth Medical Certificate"; secondly, it is essential to choose a name for the child first; and thirdly, how to get the hospital that can issue the "Birth Medical Certificate" to register the two children under the name of the eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng...

"Now, the first step we need to take is to keep it a secret from everyone. One is about the ectopic pregnancy and removal surgery of the eldest sister, Hu Xiaofeng; another is about the pregnancies of Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie; and the third is the plan we are going to implement..."

Luo Erbao seemed to have a fairly complete plan in mind...

Chapter 15 Flowing in Vain

"Brother Erbao, we'll listen to you completely. We'll do whatever you tell us to do..."

Hu Xiaohu naturally said this.

“Here’s what I’m thinking: when Aunt Hu is discharged from the hospital, we’ll bring her to Beijing under the pretext that she needs further treatment. That way, we can tell my eldest sister’s in-laws that she’s going to Beijing to stay with our mother for a while—away from our hometown, keeping it a secret will be much easier…”

Luo Erbao had this plan all along.

“Brother Erbao, should Hu Xiaodie and I go back to Beijing too?”

Hu Xiaohu asked.

“Of course you should go back to Beijing—you two will definitely be under special protection!”

Luo Erbao replied. As

they continued to discuss how to find a hospital to contact in Beijing and how to deal with the questions from my eldest sister’s in-laws, they suddenly heard the voices of Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie’s second and third sisters—it turned out they had accompanied their father to the hospital to visit their eldest sister and Aunt Hu.

Seeing that his wife had miraculously survived, could eat, talk, and even sit up, a smile finally appeared on Grandpa Hu’s face, which had been contorted with worry. Seeing his eldest daughter regain her color and even smile, he was overjoyed...

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie were also especially happy to see their father and two older sisters. Luo Erbao suggested taking them out for a nice meal. They entered a large hotel, but Grandpa Hu hesitated to go in, saying his shoes were dirty and he was afraid people would think he was too filthy—only then did Luo Erbao notice that Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's father was indeed still wearing farm shoes! They quickly left the hotel and saw a large clothing mall. Luo Erbao led them inside, letting Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie choose clothes and shoes for their father and two older sisters, promising to pay for everything.

The three of them changed into brand new clothes and shoes from head to toe, looking at each other with even more joy than during the New Year. This time, when they entered that grand hotel again, Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie's father, Grandpa Hu, dared to go in... But after ordering the food and asking the price, which was one or two thousand yuan, he shook his head and said, "This is burning money! This amount of money is enough for our family to eat for half a year..."

"Dad, we don't need to spend any money. Erbao paid for everything..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie immediately explained to their father.

"Where did he get the money? Did it blow from the wind? Did it come from the sea?"

Grandpa Hu seemed somewhat suspicious of this callow youth.

“No, Erbao earned his money through hard work and intelligence—my mother and eldest sister's surgeries have already cost nearly 300,000 yuan, all paid for by Erbao!”

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie immediately explained.

“With so much money spent, how will our family repay it in the future!”

The wrinkles on Grandpa Hu’s face crisscrossed again.

“Dad, you don’t need to repay it…”

“But, such a big favor, can we afford to repay it?”

“You don’t need to repay the favor either…”

Hu Xiaohu leaned close to her father’s ear and whispered, “If we make him our son-in-law, we won’t have to repay anything…”

“Will that work? He’s still so young…”

Grandpa Hu still felt it was unreliable.

“Make a move sooner rather than later, otherwise, such a good son-in-law might be snatched away by someone else…”

Hu Xiaohu immediately replied cleverly.

“You two… are you interested in that?”

Grandpa Hu wanted to know the extent of their relationship.

“Of course, otherwise, why would he help our family so much, spending so much money without batting an eye…”

“Sigh, if we had the 300,000 yuan for your mother and older sister's treatment, it would have been enough for Dad to buy the farm in Majia Gou—if our family had that farm, we wouldn't have to live such a hard life anymore…”

Grandpa Hu seemed genuinely distressed about the money given to the hospital.

“What are you saying, Dad? Compared to that farm you want to buy, my mother and older sister's lives are worth far more!”

“Sigh, if it weren't for Luo Erbao giving us the money, our whole family would never have gotten this life-saving money…”

Grandpa Hu immediately changed the subject.

“Where is that farm Grandpa Hu is talking about?”

Luo Erbao asked, picking up food for Grandpa Hu as he brought up the topic.

"It's just ten miles east of Hujia Gou—backed by mountains, in front by a river, east by a highway, and west by a hillside, it looks like a big winnowing basket—I heard the farm owner passed away, and his son in the city can't manage it, so he wants to sell—but there really isn't anyone nearby who can afford over 300,000 yuan to buy the operating rights to that Majia Gou farm..."

Grandpa Hu seemed very eager for that farm, but could only sigh in vain.

"What kind of livestock does that farm raise?"

Luo Erbao wasn't in a hurry to answer, but first asked about the farm's actual situation.

"Over the years, I've worked on that farm several times, so I know it quite well—they raise all sorts of things, from chickens and ducks to geese and dogs, and they also have all kinds of fruits and vegetables, but the previous owner didn't know how to utilize the farm's natural advantages—letting a lot of resources go to waste..."

Grandpa Hu immediately perked up when he mentioned the farm.

"For example?"

Luo Erbao seemed quite interested as well.

"For example, the stream flowing down the mountain is just wasting its time. We could at least create a small reservoir to raise fish, shrimp, geese, and ducks to make full use of it; and the open spaces on the hillside, letting those shrubs grow wild, could generate a considerable income if we planted fruit trees..."

Grandpa Hu really had his own ideas, but it was someone else's farm, so he couldn't implement them himself.

"Dad, why are you telling Erbao all this? Don't be too greedy. Erbao has helped our family enough; don't cause him any more trouble..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie, hearing their father talking about the farm with great interest, knew their father wanted to use this opportunity to get the wealthy boy, Luo Erbao, to help him realize his dream. So, they quickly tried to stop their father...

Chapter 16 Putting Fish In

"It's just that we got carried away with the conversation..."

Grandpa Hu immediately explained honestly.

"It's alright, Grandpa Hu. So, how many years is the operating right for this farm?"

Luo Erbao continued to inquire about this topic.

"I saw the original farm's operating license. The contract was forty years, with 20-year contracts. They've been operating it for ten years... which means they can operate it for another thirty years..."

Seeing that Luo Erbao was asking crucial questions, Grandpa Hu's interest was piqued again.

"Then, do you still have to pay a contract fee every year?"

Luo Erbao continued to ask about the important details.

"Yes, I remember it was 15,000 yuan a year..."

"Oh, then how much are the annual operating costs, and how much profit can you expect?"

"Not much cost. If you hire fewer people and do more yourself, plus careful budgeting, it's just the cost of seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers, probably around 10,000 yuan—as for profit, I heard the original farm owner, after deducting all expenses, could save 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year..."

It seemed Grandpa Hu really knew a lot about that farm...

"Then if Grandpa Hu were to run it, how much would the profit increase?"

Luo Erbao was still concerned about the profit.

"That depends on how much more investment is needed..."

"What kind of investment is needed?"

Luo Erbao wanted to know the details.

"For example, build a simple small reservoir, and then buy fish fry, saplings, and so on..."

Grandpa Hu was quite specific in his explanation.

"How much will that cost? How long will it take to break even?"

Luo Erbao seemed to need to do a cost accounting.

"Invest 100,000, and you can break even in the second year—there's a farm about 30 miles away from Hujiagou. I've worked there before. They built a small reservoir there, and just from raising fish and shrimp, they make 100,000 to 200,000 a year, not even counting other income..."

Grandpa Hu immediately gave an example in his answer.

"How about this, Grandpa Hu, I'll go with you to that farm tomorrow to check it out. If it's really as you say, I'll help you buy it, and then give you another 100,000 in investment funds and 100,000 in working capital—that way, the Hu family can continue to develop in the future, and everyone can make money from their work..."

Luo Erbao made the decision on the spot.

“Erbao, like you said, it would cost you four or five hundred thousand at once…”

Grandpa Hu seemed to have great awe for such a large sum of money. He probably never dreamed he would spend four or five hundred thousand to buy the operating rights to that farm.

“Five hundred thousand is nothing. If that farm can be managed by our Hu family as Grandpa Hu envisions, and we fully utilize the favorable timing, location, and people, it can generate even more profit every year. We can earn back the five hundred thousand quickly…”

Luo Erbao didn’t seem to be simply giving money as charity, but rather wanting to ensure the Hu family had something to do and would receive a higher return through this investment.

“Okay, give me ten years, and I’ll pay you back fifty thousand every year, no problem…”

Grandpa Hu seemed confident.

“This money doesn’t need to be paid back…”

Luo Erbao immediately corrected him.

“It must be paid back, absolutely must be paid back. Only then will I have the motivation, only then will I accept your help…”

Grandpa Hu seemed to have his own principles.

"Give it back to me, I used it on your daughter too..."

It seemed that Luo Erbao genuinely wanted to help the Hu family escape poverty and become wealthy.

Hearing Luo Erbao say this, everyone immediately respected him even more.

The next day, Hu Xiaohu's second and third older sisters were taking care of her mother and eldest sister at the hospital, so Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie were able to accompany Luo Erbao and their father, taking the taxi to the Majia Gou Farm—a good place, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, facing south, but after the original owner passed away, it was neglected and looked somewhat dilapidated, with only a middle-aged man guarding it.

After explaining their purpose, the middle-aged man on duty called the son of the original farm owner. Once the call was connected, they arranged to meet at a restaurant in Mudanjiang to discuss the matter...

Luo Erbao, Grandpa Hu, Hu Xiaohu, and Hu Xiaodie wandered around the mountain valley and found that, just as Grandpa Hu had said, the water flowing from the mountain streams was being wasted. If a small reservoir were built and fish fry were introduced, and various fruit trees were planted on the barren hillsides, and the original stables, pigsties, chicken coops, and sheep pens were expanded and renovated to increase the scale of the breeding operation, the profits would probably double without any problem.

After inspecting the Majia Gou Farm, Luo Erbao felt even more confident. However, when it came time to negotiate and sign the contract with the son of the original farm owner, Grandpa Hu asked him in front of Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie, "Luo Erbao, I have a question for you. You must answer truthfully."

"What is it? Please ask,"

Luo Erbao replied, seeing Grandpa Hu's worried expression.

"Your money, it's all from honest means, isn't it?"

Grandpa Hu's voice was soft, his expression mysterious.

"Of course it's honest money,"

Luo Erbao answered frankly.

"But Grandpa still doesn't understand, how can you be so rich and so resourceful at such a young age?"

It turned out that Grandpa Hu was wondering how a sixteen or seventeen-year-old like Luo Erbao could be so generous. Not only did he spend more than 300,000 yuan to rescue his wife and eldest daughter from their misery, but now he wanted to buy a farm for the Hu family to run so they could live a wealthy life. Who exactly was he? What was his background? Was he a legitimate young man?

"Dad, Erbao is just lucky—in Beijing, he met a coal mine owner from Shanxi by chance. He saw that Erbao was clever and cute, so he took him in as his godson and gave him a gold card, saying that he could withdraw as much money as he wanted from the gold card..."

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie quickly explained for Luo Erbao.

"A gold card? Is it like the treasure bowl or money tree in the stories?"

Grandpa Hu still seemed a little incredulous...

Chapter 17 Tears of Joy

"It's not a treasure bowl, nor a money tree, it's just a gold card from the bank..."

Luo Erbao quickly explained.

When Luo Erbao, along with Hu Xiaohu, Hu Xiaodie, and Grandpa Hu, arrived near the agreed-upon hotel in Mudanjiang in a taxi, they saw a large bank and Luo Erbao led them inside...

"Do you have your ID card?"

Luo Erbao asked Hu Xiaohu in response to Hu Xiaodie's father, Grandpa Hu.

"Alas, all I have left is this ID card..."

Grandpa Hu said, pulling it out to show Luo Erbao.

"Alright, I'll withdraw 500,000 yuan from my card and put it into Grandpa Hu's card..."

Luo Erbao was truly decisive, getting things done immediately.

"But, I don't have that—treasure bowl, money tree... what kind of card!"

Grandpa Hu panicked upon hearing that so much money had to be put in his name.

"Just bring your ID card, and you can get one right away..."

"How much will it cost?"

Grandpa Hu probably thought that a card with so much money in it must be very valuable...

"In Beijing, it only costs fifteen yuan..."

Luo Erbao had experience getting cards, so he answered immediately.

"It won't be more expensive here than in Beijing, will it..."

"Dad, Erbao's brother is going to deposit 500,000 yuan for you, why are you still worrying about the cost of getting a card!"

Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie were getting anxious.

"Just sit over there and wait, just give me your ID card..."

Luo Erbao said, as he helped Grandpa Hu sit in the waiting area, took his ID card, and went to the window to process the 500,000 yuan transfer...

It went smoothly; Luo Erbao transferred the 500,000 yuan into a newly opened bank card with Grandpa Hu's name on it. When Luo Erbao handed the card to Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Hu exclaimed in surprise, "Just this little card, and there's 500,000 yuan in it?"

"Yes,"

Luo Erbao explained, " this is a deposit slip. Keep it safe—once the negotiations are complete, just go to the bank and transfer the money to him."

The meeting with the son of the Majia Gou farm owner went smoothly. Firstly, the owner was eager to sell and probably needed the money for something; secondly, Luo Erbao pointed out several significant flaws in the farm, so the price was reduced from the original 350,000 yuan to 250,000 yuan. Later, the other party mentioned that there was also a 130 light truck, a covered City Hunter jeep, several horses, several cows, several sheep, dozens of free-range chickens, and three half-grown pigs. They also said they would give all the original farm tools and household items to Grandpa Hu. Only then did Luo Erbao raise the price to 280,000 yuan…

The other party was really eager to sell, so they asked, “Are you paying in cash or by loan? Is it a lump sum payment or installments?”

“If the deal goes through, we’ll pay in one lump sum, but only after all the formalities are completed,”

Luo Erbao immediately replied.

“The formalities are actually very simple, because it doesn’t involve real estate or land use certificates. We just need to go to the notary office to get it notarized, and then we’ll go to the local town to change the contractor’s name, and all the problems will be solved…”

that’s how the other party answered Luo Erbao.

“Alright, if everything goes smoothly, let’s get all the formalities done today. Once it’s done, the money will be cashed at the bank immediately.”

“Didn’t you say cash?”

“Yes, it’s all in this card—if you want cash, we’ll withdraw cash for you; if you want a transfer, we’ll transfer it to your account…it’s all the same…”

Luo Erbao explained.

“To be honest, when my father contracted this farm, I handled all the formalities, so I’ll handle it again now. I know all those people, so it’ll definitely be done quickly…but how can I confirm that you actually have that much cash to cash me?”

The other party raised a crucial question.

“Uncle Hu, show him that bank deposit slip…”

Luo Erbao reminded Uncle Hu.

Upon seeing it, the other party exclaimed, “You have so much money, and you’ve already cut the price so low…”

“That’s your mistake. We’ve already inspected your farm and estimated that you need to invest over 200,000 more to see real returns. That’s why we asked a friend to get 500,000. If you had asked for 350,000 as originally requested, you would have had 100,000 left for reinvestment, which would have significantly reduced our plans. Your farm is currently neglected and exhausted. We offered 200,000 without even asking, which is already incredibly generous…”

Luo Erbao was quite adept at responding.

Hearing Luo Erbao’s explanation, the other party calmed down and quickly made arrangements, finding acquaintances to handle notarization, and then going to the town to change the name of the contractor for the Majia Gou Farm… Everything went smoothly, and by 3 PM that afternoon, all the procedures were completed, including the transfer of ownership for the two vehicles…

Then, Luo Erbao took everyone to the bank, where Grandpa Hu himself transferred 280,000 from the newly opened card to the other party…

"This is still the same card, but suddenly the balance has dropped from 500,000 to 220,000..."

After completing the transfer, Grandpa Hu stared blankly at the bank card with 220,000 left, as if it were all a dream. This father, whose life had been severely damaged by having more children than allowed and poverty, and who seemed destined to never recover, felt like he was on a rollercoaster. He could hardly believe that the paperwork he held in his hand had brought the Majia Gou Farm, which he had dreamed of for so many years, under his own name, making him its owner... Overjoyed

, he wept, tears streaming down his face, choking back sobs, unsure of what to say during the day—overnight, the Hu family had escaped poverty and become wealthy, bidding farewell to all their past hardships!

Chapter 18 Resurfaces

At this moment, those most moved were Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie. They were already deeply grateful to Luo Erbao for his generous donations that had saved their mother and eldest sister from illness. Now, he had also rescued their suffering father, as well as their second and third sisters, from their misery in one fell swoop. Their gratitude and admiration for Luo Erbao reached an unparalleled level…

Back at Majia Gou Farm, Grandpa Hu stood on a high slope, overlooking what was now his territory. The feeling of commanding the land, of wielding power and authority, made him seem twenty years younger. His indescribable excitement and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings) all transformed into a profound sense of pride and joy for what belonged to him. The blueprint for his own farm was in full swing, fueled by boundless enthusiasm…

The farm's only caretaker was a disabled man in his forties. He had lost an arm during a military exercise when he was in his twenties. Despite receiving a monthly disability allowance from the government, he wanted to earn more money to pay for his two children's tuition at middle school and university, which is why he took a job as a guard at Majia Gou Farm, earning 500 yuan a month…

At Luo Erbao's suggestion, Grandpa Hu decided to retain this disabled veteran, and even increased his salary to 800 yuan a month. The disabled veteran was very grateful and willing to contribute his energy and enthusiasm to the farm's resurgence.

Next, Luo Erbao accompanied Grandpa Hu to a small construction team. After negotiating a price, they immediately began work, building a dam in a suitable location in Majia Gou, which was expected to be completed and filled with water in one or two months…

Following this, they hired a dozen strong farm laborers to clear the barren hillside into terraced fields suitable for planting fruit trees. In addition, carpenters and bricklayers were hired to expand and renovate the stables, pigsties, cattle sheds, and sheepfolds... For a time, the Majiagou Farm was bustling with activity, a scene of busy prosperity...

"I'll give Grandpa Hu another 100,000 yuan. Let's build a two-story house by this little reservoir, with lots of rooms, so everyone has a place to relax when they come back!"

Luo Erbao had even thought of this. It seemed this place was his own future paradise, a haven for relaxation...

The power of money is truly boundless. As long as it's used in the right place, as long as it's in the hands of those who need it to start a business and get rich, it will quickly play a huge role...

Grandpa Hu seemed to have been rejuvenated. Despite the hard work, it seemed that his energy, which had been suppressed for many years, had been activated all at once. He didn't even have time to smoke anymore—perhaps because of this, his health miraculously improved...

Just as he was busy working, Grandpa Hu suddenly saw a familiar figure coming to the farm. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his eldest daughter's father-in-law, Tang Shaogang's father, Village Chief Tang. He didn't know what had brought him there, so he quickly stopped what he was doing and came over to talk.

"Hey, Old Hu, what's going on at your house..."

Village Chief Tang asked as soon as he finished speaking.

"Nothing much..."

Grandpa Hu replied cheerfully.

"Nothing much? Your eldest daughter said she was going back to her parents' home for a few days, but it's been more than half a month, and there's still no news. Her mother-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to your house to look for her, but there wasn't a soul in sight..."

Village Chief Tang's tone was full of complaint.

"Ah, it's like this—my wife's condition got serious, and she was on the verge of death. We were planning to make arrangements for her funeral, so we called our two daughters from Beijing back. But when they came back, they couldn't bear to see their mother waiting to die, so they took her to the Mudanjiang Hospital for emergency treatment—my eldest daughter couldn't bear to leave her alone, so she went with her..."

Grandpa Hu quickly explained.

"So how is she now?"

"Thank God, she was pulled back from the brink of death—she should be discharged soon—don't worry, my eldest daughter is doing well too, she should be back in the next few days..."

Grandpa Hu answered excitedly.

"Old Hu, I was just wondering what you've been up to at that Majia Gou farm—I heard it's closed down..."

Village Chief Tang only knew that Old Hu worked at the Majia Gou farm, but he didn't know that the farm was now under the Hu family's name.

"Oh, it's like this, my twin daughters' boyfriends came back from Beijing, and they happened to know the farm owner's son. Knowing I was bored at home, they asked me to come and help out..."

Old Hu didn't mention that he already owned the Majia Gou farm; his modesty was perhaps a reflection of his character.

"Take charge? So you're in charge now?"

"I guess so. They trust me so much, how could I not work hard..."

"I see it's quite a large-scale operation, building dams and planting trees. When the villagers told me, I didn't believe them!"

"To be honest, Village Chief Tang, they gave me 300,000 yuan to build water conservancy projects and expand livestock breeding in Majiagou, aiming to double the profits from its peak..."

"Oh, how much do they pay you a year?"

Village Chief Tang thought Old Hu was a high-level employee.

"What money do I need? My daughter's boyfriend said that once the business is profitable, we don't need to give anything to anyone; we'll save it all for my daughter's marriage..."

"Hey, Old Hu, when my Tang Shaogang married your Hu Xiaofeng, he didn't receive a single penny of dowry. If you become successful, you'll have to make it up to him!"

Village Chief Tang seized the opportunity to skim off his own profits.

"No problem at all. I'm related to Village Chief Tang by marriage. If you need anything, just come to the farm and take it. Don't be shy!"

Old Hu said this, but in his heart he was cursing, "Get lost! If it weren't for your Tang Shaogang raping my eldest daughter, we wouldn't be related by marriage! Now that the Hu family is doing well, you're trying to climb the social ladder again—fine, if you have the nerve to ask for this and that, I can go back and tell you what you were thinking and humiliate you!"
