Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Starvation-Proof_1

"What else can be done? It hurts!"

Luo Shanchuan took a sharp breath, his arm uncomfortable from the needles, and gave Mo Han a sideways glance, "Why don’t I try sticking a few needles into you?"

Seeing her father in such discomfort, Luo Ning asked cautiously, "Mo Han, are you really capable or not?"

"Why not just take Dad to the hospital for another look?"

"Didn’t that Old Zhu give you a hardship fee of five hundred thousand..."

The moment money was mentioned, the usually wilted mother-in-law immediately sprang to life.

Right!

She had been so preoccupied with questioning Mo Han that she had forgotten about the substantial amount of money he had received.

She quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Right, right, right! That swelling does look a bit scary. Forget it, let’s go to the hospital to have it checked."

As she spoke, she fished out five or six hundred-yuan bills from her purse and stuffed them into Luo Ning’s hands, "Ning’er, take this money and hurry, take your dad to the hospital with Mo Han."

Then she turned her gaze toward Mo Han, rubbing her hands together and saying, "Mo Han, fifty thousand is no small sum. It’s inconvenient for you to carry that much cash around. Here, transfer those fifty thousand to me, and I’ll keep it safe for you."

"Don’t worry, I won’t touch your money; I’ll keep it for you, to use it as a dowry for Chen Chen in the future..."

Yang Meifeng’s words were clearly just an excuse—Chen Chen was only four years old, and it would be at least another eighteen or nineteen years before she’d marry.

At this moment, Chen Chen raised her head, looked at her mother, and innocently asked, "Mom, what’s a dowry?"

Luo Ning’s face darkened upon hearing this. Wasn’t her mother going too far?

For the sake of money, even such a clumsy excuse was drawn out.

With a stern expression, she said, "Chen Chen’s a good girl, don’t listen to the nonsense grandma’s saying. I’ll take you to bathe..."

Turning her head, she said to Mo Han, "Mo Han, if it really doesn’t work, you go ahead and take Dad to the hospital. I’ll come over later to join you..."

"No need."

Mo Han smiled, twisted his wrist, and a strand of Purple Cloud True Qi spiraled from his fingertips into the acupuncture needle.

Instantly, Luo Shanchuan felt a warm current flowing at his arm, as comfortable as if he was bathing in a sauna.

He looked down at his arm instinctively, and bam!

Something astonishing happened!

In his view, his arm, which had been swollen like a radish, began to slowly reduce in swelling, and the bruised area also visibly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This..."

Luo Shanchuan was so astounded that he kept clicking his tongue, not believing his own eyes.

"Dad, I’ve let out the bruise. Try moving your arm to see if you can," Mo Han suggested, withdrawing the acupuncture needle and smiling faintly.

"So quick?"

Luo Shanchuan mumbled to himself, then awkwardly lifted his arm. To his surprise, the sense of pressure on his arm was gone halfway through the motion.

Not only could he move his arm normally, but he also felt no pain at all.

In fact, his arm seemed even more flexible than before, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.

How on earth did this happen?

No wonder Luo Shanchuan was puzzled. Just now, Mo Han had transferred the Purple Cloud True Qi into his body, not only clearing out the bruise but also reorganizing the previously blocked meridians.

The change in Luo Shanchuan was witnessed by Luo Ning and Yang Meifeng, who were both flabbergasted by the scene.

Luo Ning knew that Mo Han had been reading medical books at home and learning a bit of traditional Chinese medicine for the past year, but she hadn’t expected his skills to be so profound.

"Mo... Mo Han, did you actually learn this acupuncture from reading books?"

Mo Han nodded, "Yes, just now I used the method mentioned in the books, where I placed the silver needle on specific points to let out Dad’s bruise."

"Visits to the hospital for this kind of injury would involve x-rays, taking pills—it’s too troublesome. This method is much quicker."

"Dad, how do you feel?"

On hearing the mention of himself, Luo Shanchuan blurted out, "Great! Absolutely fantastic!"

"I feel like I’ve already recovered; there’s no need to go to the hospital now..."

Only then did Yang Meifeng catch on. She darted forward to grab the cash on the table and laughed with a heh-heh, "Since you’re healed, there’s no need to go to the hospital, so I’ll keep the money. I have mahjong to play tomorrow..."

"Right, Mo Han, where is your fifty-thousand-yuan bank card? Better give it to Mom, let me keep it for you."

Luo Ning was aware of her mother’s greed for money. She snorted dismissively, "Mom, you can keep your mind off that money!"

"Even if Mo Han were to hand it over, it would be to me!"

"You, you!"

Yang Meifeng’s face darkened, and she said with displeasure, "Now you’ve resigned from Luo Group, you don’t even have a job, and Mo Han isn’t doing anything at home. How will you support yourselves, not to mention Chen Chen?"

"I’m worried that you’ll recklessly spend all of your savings, which is why I offered to keep the money safe for you!"

"Mom, don’t worry! Mo Han and I have our own hands and feet; we won’t starve," Luo Ning retorted, mercilessly piercing her mother’s pretense, "Besides, how much does our family spend? Yet certain someone loses two or three thousand in mahjong within a month!"

With that, she no longer bothered with her mother, pulling Mo Han and her daughter into their room.

Once back in their room, Luo Ning asked Mo Han to play with their daughter while she rummaged through the room’s contents.

Watching his wife going through a pile of documents, Mo Han asked curiously, "Ning’er, what are you doing?"

"Ah! What else can I do, I just resigned from Luo Group in a fit of anger," Luo Ning sighed and said, "I’m sorting out the company’s documents now, to give them back to the company first thing tomorrow morning."

"So as to avoid any gossip from grandma and Luo Yuantu’s family..."
