Luo Dahu has already contributed all the ten taels of silver he earned to the villagers of Guangming Village to gain their freedom. In addition to the money he had previously spent on buying groceries for Zhao Chunlian and paying the betrothal fee to the Shu family on behalf of Sister Zhang, his wallet is now almost empty. How can he have extra money to buy expensive medicinal materials like Ganoderma lucidum?
Glancing at his son who was already in Zhao Chunlian's arms, Luo Dahu tentatively asked, "Miss Shu, if my son doesn't want to eat Ganoderma lucidum, is there any other herbal remedy that can replace it and wake him up?"
"Yes, but the effect is slow..."
Hearing Shu Jiaying say this, Luo Dahu quickly interrupted.
"Okay, then you can prescribe another herb for my son. We probably can't afford the price of Ganoderma lucidum."
"Uncle, I can tell you about another herb that can wake your son up, but given his current condition, the longer he's unconscious, the more his intelligence will be affected. Ganoderma lucidum can wake your son up within three days, and while moringa seeds are cheap, it will take at least ten days to wake him up, and at most half a month. Furthermore, by the time he wakes up, his intelligence will likely be severely degraded, likely retaining the IQ of a three-year-old. I believe there will be no cure in the future."
"What?"
Hearing the consequences, Zhao Chunlian hugged Luo Xiaoming tightly and burst into tears. She blamed Luo Dahu, "It's you! If it weren't for your greed, how could my son become like this? Now we have no money, and it's still a question whether our son can wake up. What do you think we should do? What should we do now?"
“…”
Luo Dahu had no idea what to do. He pounded his chest and blamed himself, "It's my fault, I'm wrong. I'm sorry for my son and this family. Woo woo woo... If my son can't wake up, then I won't live either..."
With a pair of eyes looking at Xiaohua, Luo Dahu suddenly ran to Xiaohua and knelt down.
"Xiaohua, I know I'm a bastard. I don't have the face to beg you, but look at your brother, he's in this state. We're all relatives after all. Although your uncle has hurt you, your brother is innocent. Please, for your brother's sake, look at what valuable things you have at home that can be sold. You... give it all to your uncle. When your uncle cures your brother's illness, I will pay you back, with interest. What do you think?"
“I…I…”
Xiaohua didn't know how to deal with Luo Dahu. Besides, her family didn't have anything particularly valuable except the boat left by her father.
Seeing the once lively Luo Xiaoming now looking like a sleeping baby, Xiaohua felt sorry for him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Uncle, you've seen everything in my house. If you really want to sell it, the boat my father left behind..."
"No, Xiaohua, you can't let your uncle sell the boat. You're still a child and don't have the ability to make money. If you keep the boat, you can rent it out to others to earn a living. If you sell the boat, you'll have nothing in the future."
After hearing what Shu Jiaying said, Xiaohua began to hesitate again, but Luo Dahu couldn't wait any longer. He continued to play the victim, "Xiaohua, money can be earned slowly. Even without a boat, we still have many ways to make money. But your brother only has one life. If you don't save him this time, his life will be over. Xiaohua...can you watch your brother become a fool in the future?"
