Chapter 1172 — Something Has Gone Wrong! And Yunhai Shuku, on Little Mule's Money, Bulk-Ordered a Whole Load of Plumbing and Renovation Supplies, and Business Grew More and More Prosperous! So, While Making Money, the More Yunhai Shuku Looked at Er Goudan the More He Liked Him — This Young Man Was His Family's Lucky Star; If He Became His Son-in-Law, That Would Be Quite a Fine Thing Indeed!

By then, he and Er Goudan would build the grocery store into something big, and with Er Goudan standing guard like a door god, any petty thug who came looking for trouble would be nothing but a wisp of cloud — no matter how many came, there would never be enough of them for Er Goudan to beat! The days ahead would be good indeed!
"Yuanyuan, are the ribs done yet? Give Er Goudan a bit first — he's been at heavy work all day long, the poor fellow's worn out!" Yunhai Shuku said.
"Mm..." Yu Yuanyuan answered obediently, then went and fetched a rib and handed it to Er Goudan: "Zhou Qiming, here..."
Yunhai Shuku called him Er Goudan, but Yu Yuanyuan, naturally, would never call him that; Yu Yuanyuan only ever called him by his name.
"Thanks!" Er Goudan took the rib happily and fell to eating: "So good!"
"Eat slowly..." Yu Yuanyuan shot Er Goudan a look and said, half pouting, half coy.
After several days in each other's company, a shadow of Er Goudan had taken root in Yu Yuanyuan's heart as well. Beauties love heroes — and that was precisely Yu Yuanyuan's case now.
Watching Yu Yuanyuan's shyness, Er Goudan could not help but be struck dumb. Though Yu Yuanyuan was by no means a peerless beauty, in Er Goudan's eyes she was lovelier than a fairy from heaven.
"Ring—" A shrill ringing of the telephone broke the ambiguity between the two of them.
Yu Yuanyuan hurried over and picked up the phone: "Hello? ... What? You're Manager Zhang from the housekeeping agency? My mother was bitten by a dog? She's at the First People's Hospital right now? All right, we'll be there as fast as we can..."
Hanging up the phone, Yu Yuanyuan could not help but fly into a panic: "Dad, something's wrong! Manager Zhang from Mom's company just called — he says Mom was bitten by a dog and is being treated at the First People's Hospital, and he wants us to get over there right away..."
"What!" Yunhai Shuku was struck dumb as well. Everything had been fine this morning — how could she have been bitten by a dog by evening?
Yunhai Shuku did not dare dawdle. With Yu Yuanyuan and Er Goudan in tow, he flagged down a taxi and raced to the First People's Hospital! There, in a ward of the First People's Hospital, Yunhai Shuku finally saw his wife!
"Mom, what happened to you!" Yu Yuanyuan rushed over excitedly, ran to her mother's bedside, and clutched her mother's hand!
"Yuanyuan..." Yu's mother gave Yu Yuanyuan a weak, anguished look, and a painful smile surfaced on her face...
"Manager Zhang, what's going on here? What on earth happened? What happened to my wife? How did she come to be bitten by a dog?" Catching sight of Manager Zhang, Yunhai Shuku hurriedly asked.
"Ah!" Manager Zhang sighed. "Your wife went to clean house for a wealthy family today, and somehow or other she provoked that family's lion dog, and the lion dog bit her. Her leg is bitten clean through now — if she hadn't been treated in time, I'm afraid the whole leg would have been ruined!"
"What! That serious?" Yunhai Shuku was startled, his eyes wide. "What does that family say? Their dog bit someone — have they nothing to say for it? And what kind of dog is it that can bite a person's leg clean off?"
"They call it a lion dog, but really it's just a big lion!" Manager Zhang said, somewhat resigned. "The doctor said this was no dog bite at all!"
"What? They keep a lion? That's downright vicious! Where are these people? Where are they? They'd better make themselves clear — what is this supposed to mean? Aren't they trying to do someone harm?" At the sound of it, Yunhai Shuku grew anxious at once.
