Chapter 198: Sincerity of Chopped Hand 2
Continuing on what he proposed earlier, Zhang Tieyuan said, “I want to be your tenant! I don’t need a monthly salary. Besides the small portion needed to fill my stomach, I’ll give the rest of the yearly crops to you.”
His offer was very tempting.
It was such a pity.
Qi Qingyao said, “I can’t believe the words coming from a gambler.”
“To show my sincerity…”
Zhang Tieyuan had long guessed that the Eleventh Daughter, who had been so confident at the gambling table, would not believe a thing a gambler like himself says. He took a kitchen knife from behind his waist and without a word, chopped off his left hand.
Crack!
As his action was too swift, Qi Qingyao was not able to stop it.
After three seconds.
A severed hand fell to the ground. Zhang Tieyuan clutched the severed stump, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead from the pain. He had been mentally preparing for this over the past few days.
He had even asked some of the people who had had their hands chopped off and they had assured him that even if their hands or feet were severed, they would not die.
As he was prepared, he came looking for the Eleventh Daughter.
After severing his hand, and before he fainted, Zhang Tieyuan gasped in a voice that had become very soft and even a little distorted. He was still looking at Qi Qingyao persistently.
“Eleventh daughter, is this enough as a show of my sincerity?”
Qi Qingyao finally tore her gaze away from the severed hand on the ground. she muttered, “That was really bold.”
Immediately after that, without another word, Qi Qingyao instructed Si Jin, “Si Jin, help me get a needle and thread quickly, and bring me my first aid box.”
Si Jin quickly went to get the needle and thread and first aid box.
After a while, the needle and thread and first aid box were brought to her.
Qi Qingyao took off both the heating pack and the blanket. She then reluctantly got down from the big cozy armchair as if she was getting off her bed. She massaged her thighs for a moment and walked to Zhang Tieyuan. She picked up the severed hand on the ground and took a look at it first.
Only then did she consider stitching it back to Zhang Tieyuan.
This series of actions stunned Zhang Tieyuan.
He looked at the first aid box again.
His mind went blank. Could it be that the Eleventh Daughter actually knew how to conduct a limb replantation?
Impossible.
Was it even possible to sew the arm together with a needle and thread?
Zhang Tieyuan resisted, “Eleventh daughter, I don’t need you to sew my arm. It doesn’t matter if I die, I just hope you see my sincerity and promise me my request. I want to be your tenant.”
“If I don’t reattach your arm, how can you help me work the fields in the future?” Qi Qingyao asked.
“Eleventh daughter?” Has, has she agreed?
Qi Qingyao motioned and said, “Sit down, I’ll reattach it for you.”
Zhang Tieyuan walked to the chair at the side and sat down. Qi Qingyao motioned for him to put his wounded arm on the table. Qi Qingyao immediately picked up his severed hand. Checking the surface of the cut, she was deeply moved. Fortunately, his kitchen knife was well sharpened. As he chopped it, his hand was lopped off cleanly, leaving a smooth surface. It would not be difficult for him to recover.
Si Jin watched Qi Qingyao perform a minor surgery on Zhang Tieyuan. His face was pale the entire time. He thought to himself silently, ‘I wonder if she can also perform a minor operation to reattach a fish’s tail?’ He had friends whose tails were mutilated…
By the time Qi Qingyao reconnected Zhang Tieyuan’s arm, he had already passed out from the pain.
Qi Qingyao asked Si Jin to carry Zhang Tieyuan back to his home to recuperate. Since this was her new home and not a medical clinic, it was impossible for Zhang Tieyuan to recuperate here.
After Zhang Tieyuan returned home, Zhang Cuiyun and Zhang Tiezhu went back to the village before long. When they arrived, they learned that their father’s hand had been severed and came to Qi Qingyao to curse her, curse her to have a deformed child! They also cursed her a painful death and threw all sorts of words at her. After they were done cursing her, Qi Qingyao replied with a smile.
“If it weren’t for your father showing his sincerity by chopping off his hand, I would never have agreed to accept your family as my tenants based on the stupidity you two are showing now!”
