Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Cao Xiangyang was stunned, then burst into laughter.

But after only a few laughs, the pain aggravated his wounds, forcing him to stop again.

"What are you saying? Xiaomei, this is a hospital. Watch your words. Even a joke shouldn't be made like this."

Cao Xiangyang glanced at Bai Limei, a meaningful glint in his eyes, before speaking in a playful tone.

"You can't make jokes like that anymore. If you don't know, you'll think you're just joking with me. But if you don't, you'll think something's really wrong with me."

Before Cao Xiangyang could say anything more, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his groin.

It's swollen and painful.

In an instant, Cao Xiangyang's smile vanished.

What's going on?

I was just about to tell Bai Limei that I was a warrior with immense strength.

Why do I feel so uncertain now?

Although she was feeling frustrated, Bai Limei kept a close eye on Cao Xiangyang's expression.

Within a short period of time, Cao Xiangyang went from being happy to being surprised, and finally to being puzzled.

Bai Limei took in all of these expressions.

"Cao Xiangyang, what's wrong?"

An ominous premonition arose.

Cao Xiangyang's condition doesn't seem to be feigned. Could it be that he doesn't know about his illness?

Upon realizing this, Bai Limei was completely stunned.

Cao Xiangyang, lying on the hospital bed, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little... I can't quite put my finger on it."

Although he and Bai Limei were already extremely close, Cao Xiangyang still couldn't bring himself to say it.

Thinking about what Bai Limei had just said, Cao Xiangyang's doubts deepened.

"Did you come all this way just to see me?"

"That's right. I heard you were hospitalized, so I rushed over. Tell me, where do you feel unwell?"

Bai Limei's words were full of probing.

Cao Xiangyang pretended to be relaxed.

"They're just minor injuries, nothing uncomfortable, don't worry."

At this point, Cao Xiangyang suddenly thought of something.

Dealing with Liu Jia is of utmost urgency.

Originally, I was thinking of going to the Bai family in person after I was discharged from the hospital, but now that I have seen Bai Limei, I might as well just explain things clearly.

Cao Xiangyang sighed and said with great indignation that Liu Jia was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

"At that time, we were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Nobody thought about anything else. We just thought that as long as the person was okay, that was all that mattered."

"After Liu Jia's guidance, I realized that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. This was not an accident; it was all Liu Jia's design!"

"That kid is cunning; he's always scheming against others. The reason I was so badly injured this time is because he plotted against me!"

Next, Cao Xiangyang asked Bai Limei to connect all the things together.

Bai Limei kept nodding, her mind a jumbled mess.

Now, the father has long since recovered, but Cao Xiangyang's condition is worrying.

He didn't talk about his own health, but kept talking about Liu Jia. Could it be...?

"Cao Xiangyang, has your attending physician mentioned your current condition to you?"

Bai Limei's voice became clearer, and she calmed down.

Cao Xiangyang was startled.

He looked at Bai Limei, puzzled.

"No, these are just superficial injuries, why would the attending physician need to say anything about them?"

At this moment, Bai Limei understood what had happened.

Cao Xiangyang took another look and felt that the discomfort in his groin area was gone. He instinctively concluded that he had been overthinking things.

"I know you miss me. I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days, and I'll make it up to you then."

"These next two days, you'd better stay home and wait for me. You're not allowed to go anywhere."

"After I'm discharged from the hospital, let's have a good talk about how to deal with Liu Jia. We absolutely can't let this menace live, or we'll all be in trouble."

Cao Xiangyang enthusiastically talked about his future plans.

Bai Limei's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Now, whether Cao Xiangyang was unaware of her current condition or deliberately concealing it from her, Bai Limei could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

"Cao Xiangyang, I have something to tell you: you may not be able to continue."

"What do you mean, 'can't'? I don't understand what you're saying."

"It's about that aspect, the attending physician just told me, so I hope you're mentally prepared."

Bai Limei spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather as casually as she would today.

Cao Xiangyang was stunned.

"What's wrong with you? Who said that? Bai Limei, you've taken this joke way too far!"

"I just came from the attending physician. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him yourself."

If she really had to say what she felt, Bai Limei only felt wronged.

You know, after spending so much time with Cao Xiangyang, she was aiming to get married.

But who would have thought that he would now become a eunuch.

That would mean that if she married Cao Xiangyang, she would have to live a life of widowhood.

This is something that would be hard to accept for anyone, no matter who it happened to.

Bai Limei, however, was determined not to let such a thing happen.

The saying goes, "A short pain is worse than a long one," so let's cut the Gordian knot and get straight to the point.

If Cao Xiangyang truly has feelings for her, she believes he wouldn't drag her down.

It's better for Cao Xiangyang to say this than for me to bring it up myself.

After making up her mind, Bai Limei's smile gradually disappeared.

"You're talking nonsense! Bai Limei, let me tell you, if you keep spouting this rubbish, I'll slap you!"

"Don't think that just because you're a woman I won't dare to touch you or lower myself to your level. That was because I used to coax you. Now I'm not going to indulge you!"

"You're always spouting nonsense. Do you think I, Cao Xiangyang, don't know what kind of person I am? Do you need to talk such nonsense here?"

Cao Xiangyang felt a surge of anger and his words became increasingly harsh.

He even raised his hand in front of Bai Limei.

It seemed as if that slap could land on Bai Limei's face at any moment.

"hehe!"

Bai Limei let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Cao Xiangyang, are you crazy? Try touching me! Don't swagger around here, you should control yourself!"

After saying this, Bai Limei left on the spot.

The ward was empty, and Cao Xiangyang couldn't recover for a long time.

How did it all turn out like this?

Bai Limei was just joking with me, how could she just leave like that?

Could it be... that I'm really useless?

A chill ran through Cao Xiangyang's body, and he shivered violently.

"Doctor, doctor!"

Cao Xiangyang shouted at the top of his lungs, but at first glance it sounded like the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves.

Soon, the nurse who had just changed Cao Xiangyang's dressing ran over.

"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? This is a hospital, no noise allowed!"

"I need to see my attending physician; there are some things I must clarify!"

"Just tell me what's on your mind, and I can pass it on to you, comrade..."

Before the nurse could finish speaking, Cao Xiangyang shouted again.

"Doctor, someone come quick! Something's happened!"

Seeing Cao Xiangyang acting like a madman, the nurse was so angry that she trembled all over.

Finally, he had no choice but to say, "Fine, stop messing around. I'll get Dr. Zhang for you right now, okay?"

As she spoke, the nurse rolled her eyes.

Cao Xiangyang then calmed down.

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat came to the ward.

"Are you Cao Xiangyang? Are you the one looking for me?"

"Yes, you must be Dr. Zhang. I'd like to know about my current health condition."

Dr. Zhang was taken aback, then frowned.

"Your recovery is going well, but you'll have to wait a few more days to be discharged. You need to cooperate with the doctor's treatment and maintain a positive attitude so you can be discharged sooner."

The young nurse followed behind Dr. Zhang, pouting the whole time.

Cao Xiangyang opened his mouth, intending to ask that sensitive question, but remembering that there was a female nurse present, he pointed at the nurse and said, "Tell her to leave. I have some questions to ask you."

Dr. Zhang nodded to the nurse, who left in a huff.

Five minutes later.

Cao Xiangyang's angry roar echoed from the ward.

"Ahhh!"

"Liu Jia, I'm going to kill you!"

"In this lifetime, I will never forgive you!"

……

For the next two days, Cao Xiangyang didn't say a word, lying stiffly on the bed as if he were dead.

What's the point of living if you become a eunuch?

What's the difference between this and being dead?

Liu Chunxi and Cao Zhongsheng also learned from Cao Xiangyang that Liu Jia was deliberately seeking revenge, which is why their son suffered this misfortune.

The reason for the revenge was that Guo Xiaoyan had a crush on Cao Xiangyang.

Liu Jia felt resentful, which is why he wanted to kill Cao Xiangyang!

As a result, the entire Cao family's anger was directed at Liu Jia.

And this moment.

Liu Jia was discussing with Li Zhenhe how to spend the cloth coupons they had.

"Brother Li, we need to get rid of these cloth coupons as soon as possible, otherwise they'll be a real waste."

Liu Jia reminded him once again.

Li Zhenhe was so anxious that he kept scratching his forehead.

"I know, but won't spending so much at once arouse suspicion? If those people think we're ticket scalpers, that would be troublesome!"

Li Zhenhe was telling the truth.

As a member of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Zhenhe was well aware of the consequences of being caught scalping tickets.

There are generally only two ways to catch ticket scalpers.

One method involves law enforcement teams personally investigating and apprehending the suspects, providing both witness testimony and physical evidence.

Another possibility is a report from a salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative.

During his years working at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Zhenhe had witnessed many cases of ticket scalping being uncovered.

This is no joke.

The sudden appearance of a large number of cloth ration coupons would not only arouse suspicion among the sales clerks at the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but it would also be unsafe to buy cloth from other supply and marketing cooperatives.

Seeing that Liu Jia remained silent, Li Zhenhe poured out all his worries.

"I do have a solution, but I don't know if it will work on your end?"

As Liu Jia spoke, his eyes lit up.
