Zhou Bin took Liu Junyi, pushed open the gate of the yard, and came to Liu Renhou's home.

As soon as he entered his house, Zhou Bin found that his family's conditions were really poor.

There were only two mud houses in the huge yard, and the yard was overgrown with grass and had not been mowed down.

The kitchen is even more rudimentary, it is a shed made of plastic sheeting.

Zhou Bin felt a pang of sadness in his heart. This family was having a very hard time.

Liu Junyi came in and immediately called out, "Renhou, are you home?"

No one in the room answered, so Liu Junyi shouted twice again. The door creaked open and a white-haired old man walked out.

He was wearing a white shirt with holes all over it, and a pair of tattered cloth shoes that were also torn.

He took a quick look and saw that the person in front of him was Liu Junyi. He immediately tried to force a smile: "Junyi, why are you here?"

Liu Junyi handed over the cakes and sugar in his hand and said, "Can I come and see you?"

"Oh, thank you for your trouble. Please come in and sit down." Liu Renhou hurriedly asked them to come in.

Zhou Bin thought to himself that this old man had a good temper and was not like what Liu Junyi said.

Liu Junyi was also a little bit puzzled. In the past, this old man was very hot-tempered and had a quick temper. How come he was like a completely different person this time?

As soon as the two entered the room, they immediately smelled an extremely unpleasant smell.

I don’t know if it’s the musty smell or the smell coming from a person’s body, but it’s mixed together and it smells really bad.

Zhou Bin endured the discomfort and came to the kang.

I saw a young man lying on the kang, his face was pale, his body was thin, and he looked sick.

Liu Junyi asked softly: "How is the baby?"

Liu Renhou sighed: "It's still the same. I've been in so much pain these past few days that I can't even sit up."

Liu Junyi shook his head: "Oh, this is really tormenting!"

Liu Renhou looked at Zhou Bin curiously and asked, "Junyi, who is this?"

Liu Junyi said: "Let's go sit in the yard and let the baby have a good rest."

Liu Renhou nodded: "Then let's go out first."

When they arrived in the yard, several people sat on the benches under the tree.

Liu Renhou took out his own I-brand cigarettes and gave one to Liu Junyi and Zhou Bin respectively.

Zhou Bin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and immediately choked and coughed.

Liu Junyi smiled contentedly and said, "This smoke is strong."

Liu Renhou said embarrassedly: "This cigarette is not good, and there is no good cigarette at home."

Zhou Bin hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, this cigarette is good."

Liu Junyi pointed at Zhou Bin and introduced him: "Renhou, this is Zhou Bin from our village."

Liu Renhou looked at Zhou Bin carefully and said in surprise: "This is Zhou Bin. Oh, I finally got to meet him today. He is such a handsome man."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Renhou, you are too kind."

Liu Junyi continued, "We came here mainly to see you today. I haven't been here for more than a year."

Liu Renhou smiled gratefully: "Junyi, thank you so much for still thinking about me."

Liu Junyi waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to each other? It seems that your child's illness is still not good."

When talking about his son, Liu Renhou's eyes dimmed: "Yeah, the child is like this, it's so worrying."

Liu Junyi asked: "So you didn't go to see that boss again?"

Liu Renhou immediately yelled angrily: "Go find his father! He doesn't even admit his fault!"

Liu Junyi said angrily: "This man is really unreasonable. The accident happened in their brick factory, how could he just ignore it?"

Liu Renhou smiled bitterly: "He is just unreasonable. It has been several years. I don't know how many times I have gone to him. Last time, he beat me up and I couldn't get off the bed for a month."

"What? He hits people? That's really bullying!" Liu Junyi said in surprise.

Zhou Bin interrupted, "Why did he hit someone?"

Liu Renhou said helplessly: "He said I wanted to extort money from him, so he asked someone to beat me up."

When Zhou Bin heard this, he couldn't help but curse: "What a bastard!"

"Alas! We are just farmers, what can we use to fight against others? If we get beaten, we don't even have the money to go to the hospital." Liu Renhou said sadly.

Zhou Bin took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Renhou, you are a cook, why don't you earn some money by being a cook?"

Liu Junyi also said: "Yeah, you're probably nervous even when buying medicine for your baby, right?"

Liu Renhou looked helpless and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't do it anymore."

Zhou Bin was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Why?"

Liu Renhou sighed and said, "Alas, ever since my baby got into trouble, I can't taste anything anymore. No matter what I cook, it's tasteless, so I don't dare to cook for others!"

Liu Junyi then understood that this was the reason. He thought that Liu Renhou refused to be a cook for others.

Zhou Bin was also very regretful. He didn't expect that Mr. Liu Sanye could no longer be a cook. It was such a pity.

He still had some hope and asked, "Uncle Renhou, do you know why this happened?"

Liu Renhou shook his head: "Alas, my heart is bitter, everything I eat is bitter!"

Liu Junyi said with infinite worry: "Alas, this matter is really difficult to deal with!"

Zhou Bin thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Renhou, where is the boss?"

Liu Renhou was a little surprised. Zhou Bin asked what this was for, but he still replied: "His brick factory is in Shilibao Village, in front of the county town."

"Shilibao? I know that place. It's only twenty miles away from the county town." Zhou Bin nodded.

Liu Renhou asked curiously: "Zhou Bin, why are you asking this?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to help you find the boss and ask for an explanation."

"What? You want to help me find that boss?" Liu Renhou couldn't believe his ears.

Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Yes, I can accompany you to find him, do you dare to go?"

Liu Junyi immediately interrupted and said, "Renhou, Zhou Bin is not an ordinary person. If he is willing to help you, maybe you still have a chance."

Liu Renhou was surprised and excited: "But, why are you helping me?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Renhou, actually I originally wanted to invite you to come out and work as a cook for me, but I heard that something happened in your family. I was very angry when I heard it, so I wanted to help you first."

Liu Renhou was deeply moved: "Are you really willing to help me find that boss?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but after it's done, I hope you can come and help me cook."

Liu Renhou's eyes were red. "How can I thank you for this? As long as my child can be saved, you can ask me to do anything. I just don't know if I can still be a cook by then."

Zhou Bin smiled faintly: "It's okay, let's take care of your problem first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Liu Renhou was so excited that he stood up and bowed to Zhou Bin: "Brother Zhou, if you can save my child, you will be my family's great benefactor. I bow to you!"

Zhou Bin hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Renhou, you don't have to do this, let's go find the boss now."
