324 Even If I Hurt Myself, I Must Go
“Lu Xun, calm down. If I can come back, I’ll continue to manage the courtyard. If I don’t come back, then I’ll have to trouble you and Dapeng to lead the people in the small courtyard to live well. In the future, tell Dapeng not to go to the city to pick up scraps. Although the harvest will be a little less, it won’t be a problem to provide our people with food and clothing.”
“Sister Yu! Stop talking!” Lu Xun walked in front of Yu Xinya and raised his voice. “What do you mean you can’t come back? Are you going to find those people yourself? No!
“Absolutely not! Unless we all die, we’ll never let you face danger alone!”
Yu Xinya smiled and shook her head. “As the base chief, this is a responsibility that I must shoulder. They have to pay the price for hurting my people. Tomorrow morning, I’ll drive to the city. Even if I get hurt, I’ll bring them down with me. I must let them understand that the people of Sunshine Courtyard are not people they can bully just because they want to!”
“Sister Yu, but you stopped me just now and didn’t let me go. Why are you…”
“Of course, I had to stop you. Now that you’re injured like this, you should return to the small courtyard with Dapeng to recuperate. When you recover, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of everyone. But since you all call me Sister, I can’t ignore you. Dapeng can’t have shed his blood in vain, and your injuries can’t be suffered in vain.”
“But—”
“No buts! Although Sunshine Base is gone now, I’m still the leader of all of you. You have to listen to my orders!”
“Sister Yu… ” Lu Xun still wanted to persuade her, but when he saw Yu Xinya’s unquestionable gaze, he swallowed his words. “Alright! Sister Yu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Dapeng and the small courtyard! We’ll also plant the crops well!”
Hearing Lu Xun agree, Yu Xinya was relieved. “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Looking at the fake relaxed smile on Yu Xinya’s face, Lu Xun’s heart became even sour, and his vision gradually blurred. He reached out and wiped his face, trying hard to hold back his tears. Du Yue stood at the side and listened to their conversation without saying anything. It was not until Yu Xinya finished explaining everything that Du Yue turned to look at He Xing. The two of them looked at each other and understood each other’s thoughts. They nodded at the same time.
They waited outside for more than three hours before Wan Dapeng was finally pushed out of the operating room. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the four of them squeezed forward. “Doctor, is my friend alright?”
The doctor had obviously experienced many such situations. He was still very calm when he was blocked by four people at the door. “Don’t worry, the surgery was very successful. His life won’t be in danger. There are 16 knife wounds on his body, big and small. Fortunately, none of them hurt his vital points. However, the excessive blood loss alone almost took his life.
“Fortunately, you sent him here in time. We’ve already given him a blood transfusion and stitched up his wounds. However, he’s still in a coma. We suggest that he stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.”
When Yu Xinya heard this, the tears that she had been holding back all this while fell down with a whoosh. “Thank you, Doctor. It’s been hard on you.”
“This is what we should do. Which one of you will go and pay the surgery fee and hospitalization fee?”
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a nurse walked out of the operating room. She held a stack of paper in her hand, and there were many words written on it. “Which one of you is going to pay? Just follow me.”
“I’ll go!” Yu Xinya left with the nurse.
Although Du Yue did not say anything, she followed silently. The two of them followed the nurse to the payment window. After about a minute, a person in a white coat said, “The cost of the rescue and blood transfusion just now added up to 880 contribution points. If the patient needs to be hospitalized later, you need to deposit 400 contribution points in advance or it might not be enough.”
When she walked to the window, Yu Xinya’s expression was still okay.
However, when she heard the amount that needed to be paid, her expression became a little awkward. She only had 1,100 contribution points on her identity card now…
“Here, swipe this card.”
Yu Xinya turned her head and saw that it was Du Yue who had passed the card through the window. Yu Xinya stretched out her hand and stopped her.
“No, this is too much. I can’t let you do this…”
Du Yue pressed her hand down and ignored her attempts to stop her. She continued to speak to the staff, “Use this. Please.”
