I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 19: Stingy Uncle

Evening, inside a suite at Haoxiang Grand Hotel.

At this moment, Lai Jianhua was lying unconscious on the bed, while a middle-aged man was sitting at his bedside, checking his physical condition.

Behind him stood Wang Scar, and beside him was Lai Jianhua’s older brother—Lai Jian'an.

After a while, the middle-aged man stood up and let out a deep sigh.

"Sigh... Jianhua’s life is hanging by a thread. Even if he’s treated, he’ll be a cripple for the rest of his life."

"Uncle Hua, what exactly is my brother’s condition?"

The man referred to as Uncle Hua was Hua Jueshan.

"Judging by his injuries, Jianhua’s internal organs have been completely shattered. Even if treatment succeeds, he’ll be left with a lifelong disability."

"Lifelong disability? Uncle Hua, you must have a way, right?"

"There is a way but that would require finding my senior brother. He has a type of pill called the Rebirth Pill."

This was the first time Lai Jian’an had heard of the Rebirth Pill, so he asked out of curiosity,

"Rebirth Pill? What’s that?"

"The Rebirth Pill is a type of medicinal pill that can regenerate damaged flesh and body parts."

"There’s actually something that miraculous?"

"Yes, but…" When the Rebirth Pill was mentioned, Hua Jueshan looked troubled.

"But what?"

"Jian’an, as you know, I’m no longer a disciple of the sect. Trying to get such a pill from my senior brother is easier said than done."

Lai Jian’an understood this well. After all, a year ago, Hua Jueshan was expelled from the sect for some unknown reason.

Lai Jian’an didn’t know the details, nor did he dare to ask.

When Hua Jueshan came to Laiyang Town, he was desperate and had nowhere to go, so Lai Jian’an took him in.

Later, with Hua Jueshan’s help, Lai Jian’an was able to reach his current status.

"What should we do now?"

Seeing how worried Lai Jian’an was, Hua Jueshan continued, "However, Jian’an, I might have another way."

"Uncle Hua, please tell me."

"Have you heard that Li Yanting recently made a miraculous recovery from a serious illness?"

"Yes, I just heard about it today. But what does that have to do with saving my brother?"

"Hahaha, Jian’an, then do you know how Li Yanting recovered?"

"That... I don’t really know."

Lai Jian’an had only heard a few rumors. As for the details of the recovery, he had no idea.

"According to my sources, Li Wen recently acquired a cabbage."

"What? Cabbage? That…"

Lai Jian’an thought Li Yanting had taken some kind of rare spiritual herb. He never expected it to be something as common as cabbage.

Seeing Lai Jian’an’s look of disbelief, Hua Jueshan wasn’t surprised and explained, "You’re not alone. Even when I first heard the news, I couldn’t believe it either."

"So, you're saying there’s something special about this cabbage?"

"Yes. I believe this cabbage is no ordinary plant. But what exactly makes it special, we’d need to see it for ourselves to know."

"That’s true," Lai Jian’an nodded and then asked, "But how do we get our hands on it?"

When it came to how to obtain the cabbage, both Lai Jian’an and Hua Jueshan fell silent.

After all, neither of them knew how Li Wen had gotten it.

However, while the two were deep in thought, someone who usually had no right to speak up suddenly interrupted—Wang Scar.

"Brother Jian’an, I might know about that thing."

"Wang Scar, what did you just say?"

"Brother Jian’an, I know the origin of that cabbage."

"Speak clearly."

"It’s that young man I told you about earlier, the one who injured Brother Jianhua. He was selling cabbage earlier."

"You’re sure?"

"I’m sure. When I went to collect stall fees, I even asked how much the cabbage cost. That woman actually said it was one hundred yuan per head."

Hua Jueshan rubbed his chin and pondered, "But something that could cure Li Yanting… there's no way it’s only worth one hundred yuan."

As for whether the cabbage was worth that price, Wang Scar had no idea.

"I don’t know about that."

"Wang Scar, do you know how to find them?"

Given the current situation, whether it was true or not, Lai Jian'an felt he had to try.

If it turned out to be false, he’d find another way and try to ask Hua Jueshan’s senior brother.

"Brother Jian'an, I don’t know where they live, but I do know that the woman has a child who attends Sunshine Kindergarten."

"Mm, knowing that makes things easier."

"Brother Jian'an, even if we find them, there’s no way we can get that thing from them."

"Hmph, can’t get it? Is there anything Lai Jian'an can’t get?"

As he spoke, Lai Jian'an clenched his fist, his eyes sharp like blades.

"They hurt my brother. I’ll make them all pay."

Then, Lai Jian'an looked at Wang Scar and gave an order: "Tomorrow, I’ve got a task for you."

"Big bro, just say the word."

"Tomorrow, go and kidnap that little girl for me."

"Big bro, isn’t that a bit too much…"

"Don’t worry. In Laiyang Town, you can act boldly and without fear." Lai Jian'an continued, "If that cabbage really works, wouldn’t your arms…"

Ever since his arms were ruined, Wang Scar had longed desperately to one day be healed and return to normal.

And now that this opportunity was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?

"Thank you, Brother Jian'an. I’ll get right on it."

After Wang Scar left, Hua Jueshan stepped up to Lai Jian'an and said meaningfully, "If we can obtain their cultivation method, I believe uniting the underworld of Ying City won’t be impossible."

That one statement made Lai Jian'an’s heart surge with passion.

"Hahaha! I’m looking forward to that day too!"

……

The Next Day

Because it was the first day of school, the well-behaved Nuonuo had already run into Ye Fan’s room early in the morning to start "making a fuss."

Nuonuo kept shaking Ye Fan’s head and called out in a soft and sweet voice, "Uncle, uncle, wake up!"

With Nuonuo constantly calling out, Ye Fan finally managed to open one eye with difficulty, then looked out the window.

"Aiyo, Nuonuo, the sun’s just come up. Let uncle sleep a little longer."

"Uncle, today we start school. We can’t be late. If we’re late, we’ll have to stand as punishment."

Ye Fan glanced at Nuonuo and chuckled, "Well, then you’ll be the one punished, not me."

"Uncle, if you don’t get up, I’m going to tell Mama."

He originally wanted to nap a bit longer, but when Nuonuo brought up her mom, he had no choice but to give in.

"Okay, okay, I’m getting up."

Right then, Ye Qingcheng’s voice came from outside the room, "Nuonuo, has your uncle gotten up yet?"

"Hehe, uncle…"

Nuonuo was just about to ‘slander’ Ye Fan like she had before, but this time, Ye Fan didn’t give her the chance.

He quickly covered her mouth and shouted toward the door, "Sis, I’m already up!"

"Hehe…"

"You little brat. Last time you made up nonsense, I haven’t even settled the score with you yet."

"Uncle, you’re such a stingy old grump, still holding grudges!"

As soon as Nuonuo said that, she stuck out her tongue and ran out of the room.

"Aiya, if I don’t spank your little butt today, I’m not your uncle!"

……

After finishing the meal:

"Ye Fan, don’t forget to pick up Nuonuo from school. And Nuonuo, make sure you wait for your uncle after school."

"Don’t worry, my dear sister."

"Don’t worry, my dear mama."

"As long as you both know, that’s good. Just don’t make me worry."

Then Ye Fan also reminded Ye Qingcheng, "Sis, if there’s nothing important, don’t go far from home."

"What’s wrong?"

"Think about it, we taught those punks a lesson before what if I’m not around?"

"That’s right, Mama! What if those bad guys come back and bully you again?"

"Alright, alright, I get it. I promise I won’t go out."

"Mm."

After responding, Ye Fan turned to Da Huang and instructed, "Da Huang, keep an eye on the house. If anything happens, I’ll hold you responsible."

Woof woof!

Da Huang responded through telepathy, "Don’t worry, Master. With me here, nothing will go wrong."

Ye Qingcheng saw Ye Fan talking seriously to the dog and couldn’t help but get annoyed.

"Alright, Ye Fan. He’s just a dog, what could he possibly know?"

After that, Ye Fan gave Da Huang one more message, then started up the tricycle and drove off with Nuonuo toward Laiyang Town.
