Ableism

Everyone in the hall looked toward Wu Ruo.

Wu Qianqing rubbed the space between his eyebrows, worried that he would say the wrong thing.

Wu Ruo looked at them excitedly: “This idea of dabo‘s is really great!”

The space between Wu Qianqing’s eyebrows tightened a bit.

The corners of Wu Qianjing’s mouth curled up, snorting in his heart, this person was truly an idiot…

Wu Qianli and the rest exchanged meaningful glances.

Wu Bofang raised his eyebrows, and smiled as he asked: “You really think that way?”

“…” Wu Qianqing was internally very anxious. If Wu Ruo agreed with what his dage had said, then he was afraid that the materials Hei Xuanyi had sent over would have to be ‘lent’ out. In the future, if they wanted it back, then it would be difficult. Just like the weapons that he’d lent out.

“Of course.” It was as if Wu Ruo was afraid that they wouldn’t believe him, he nodded his head vigorously and continued: “My dad and I just happen to lack materials to make weapons. We were just worrying about how to find these materials in such a short period of time. We didn’t think that dabo would come up with such a good idea, I’m honestly very happy. Dabo, could you lend us your steel fire essence to make some weapons first? And, erbo, sishu, xiaoshu, we also need your first-grade crystal wings, bone flame-iron, and Xiaoyun sand, I hope that you can lend them to us. When my dage comes back from his internship, we will return you similar materials as soon as we can find them.”

All the materials that he mentioned were precious materials that Wu Qianjing and the rest had saved up for many years. They couldn’t bear to take these materials out to use in weapon-making all along.

When Wu Qianqing heard this, he almost burst into a smile. Yet it was as if Wu Qianjing and the rest had eaten shit, their expressions were especially ugly.

Wu Bofang’s smile fell off his face: “Why do you need so many materials?”

Wu Ruo explained: “After the New Year, my dage will leave the house for his internship yet my dad doesn’t have any weapons to give dage to defend himself, so he’s been very worried. He was thinking of rushing some weapons for my dage before my dage leaves for his internship.”

Ah!

His dabo and the rest had come up with such a good idea, so, how could he not oblige them?

Since they dared to eye the materials from his gifts, then he would scramble to say that his own materials were lacking before they did and borrow materials in front of the clan leader, and see if they were willing to lend their materials or not.

Wu Bofang knitted his eyebrows: “Qianqing, is this really true?”

The expressions on the faces of Wu Qianjing and the rest instantly changed, extremely worried that Wu Qianqing would speak about them borrowing weapons and not returning them. Actually, they had originally intended to return the weapons after using them. However, his weapons were really too amazing, they couldn’t bear to return them after they were done using them. And they even thought of wanting to appropriate it for themselves, so they kept dragging their feet and not returning it to him. In their hearts, they thought that since Wu Qianqing was crippled anyway, he couldn’t even use the weapons and it was better off well-used in their hands.

And Wu Qianqing had always been generous, never nitpicking with his brothers, and he had never vied for materials and resources with them. He would even share any good things that he had with them, so they firmly believed that his personality was good. He wouldn’t keep chasing them for his weapons, and he wouldn’t kick up a fuss in front of Grandfather, that’s why they dared to keep holding onto his weapons.

Wu Qianqing’s gaze flashed with hesitation and nodded with some difficulty.

Wu Bofang narrowed his gaze: “Didn’t you make many high-grade weapons from precious materials before in the past? Where have they all gone?”

Wu Qianqing smiled bitterly, not speaking up about how his dage and the rest had borrowed the weapons.

Wu Bofang’s gaze scanned over Wu Qianjing and the rest, seeing that they looked guilty, he very quickly understood what was going on and didn’t pursue the matter any further in front of them: “I remember that the betrothal gifts Xiao-Ruo’s husband sent over had many materials to make weapons. And there were also a lot of materials in the gifts that were sent over a few days ago, how come there still isn’t enough for you to make weapons?”
