"As expected, our feelings have faded. Neither of you cares about this old man anymore."

Chen Le hugged a pillow from the sofa and collapsed onto the bed. Chen Yu put down her water glass. "Uncle, what brings you here?"

When suddenly asked the question, Chen Le remained silent for a while before putting the pillow in his arms aside.

"I'm bankrupt..."

"What?"

Chen Yu and Shen Yan both looked at him at the same time. Sure enough, Chen Yu hadn't noticed until he pointed it out. His clothes were tattered, making him look like someone who had been homeless for several days. His face was also grimy, and his hair was a mess, like a bird's nest.

When did this happen?

Chen Yu walked to the sofa in disbelief. As she got closer, she could smell the spoiled smell of food. She looked at Chen Le seriously and said, "Don't tell me you went to collect garbage?"

Chen Le scratched his head awkwardly, sighed, and told his story. He said that he only had Chen Yu and Shen Yan left as family, and he had no choice but to rely on them.

"What?" Chen Yu looked at Chen Le in disbelief. At her age, she was still trying to date online like young people, and she even got scammed out of all her money and sold the farm. That farm was a childhood memory for her and Shen Yan. The two exchanged a silent glance. Chen Le was almost 50 years old now, so it was understandable that he was anxious about not being able to find a partner. They couldn't scold him.

Chen Le kept his head down the whole time, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Alright, alright, go upstairs and take a shower first, I'll find you some clothes."

Chen Yu didn't intend to scold him. She went to her parents' room, where she kept the new clothes she bought every year.

Chen Le is now quite thin, and many of the clothes he bought were Chen Kang's previous sizes, which look very big on him.

I'll buy you a new one tomorrow, just make do with what you have.

Chen Le looked at the new clothes in his hand, the price tag still on. He saw that they were priced at 1288 yuan each. He had never worn such nice clothes before. He had finally saved up 2 million yuan with his own money and the money Chen Yu gave him every month, but the woman ran off with it.

Tears streamed down his face involuntarily. Chen Yu knew he was upset, so she patted his shoulder and said, "Uncle, I'll take care of you from now on. Just stay home and enjoy your life."

She knew that saying anything more would be useless; he would definitely be heartbroken if he lost the money. All she could do was ensure his livelihood afterward.

When Chen Yu went downstairs, she found that Shen Yan was no longer on the sofa. She thought he had gone back to his room. After watching TV for a while, she heard the sound of entering a password outside the door. Chen Yu frowned and looked at the door.

Upon discovering that the person who entered was Shen Yan, carrying a large number of bags and packages, Chen Yu curiously stepped forward and took the bags from him. Upon opening them, she found that they were all items she had bought for Chen Le.

“There’s nothing in the house that he can use, so I went downstairs and bought some of everything. I’ll buy more tomorrow.”

As he spoke, Shen Yan took out newly bought bed sheets and duvet covers from a plastic bag. His room hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

The last time I cleaned was last year.

"Thank you so much for buying so many things so late at night."

"What are you thanking me for? He's my uncle too."

Shen Yan looked up at Chen Yu. The unpleasant feelings between them had temporarily dissipated, and now their uncle's matter was the most important thing.

He told Chen Yu that he wanted to report it to the police. Although Chen Yu felt that the chances of finding it were slim, she still nodded, thinking there might still be a glimmer of hope. If it couldn't be found, she planned to give Chen Le 2 million yuan herself.

Chen Yan went upstairs to clean Chen Le's room. Chen Yu cooked a bowl of noodles for Chen Le, which was full of ingredients. Chen Le came downstairs after smelling the aroma. When he took his first bite of noodles, he looked up at Chen Yu with his eyes full of grievance.

Chen Yu had a few days left on her vacation, so she thought she might as well take Chen Le out for some fun.

She thought it best to take him out for a walk to clear his head, and spent the whole night thinking about where to take them.

Early in the morning, Chen Le started cleaning the house. Shen Yan heard the noise, got up, opened the door, and saw Chen Le busy at work.

"Uncle, I just cleaned it yesterday."

"It's alright, I don't have anything else to do right now, so this is all I can do for you."

Chen Le waved his hand, pushing away Shen Yan's hand that was holding him. Shen Yan looked at his gray hair. His impression of Chen Le was still that of the old Chen Le, the one who loved to joke with him. Now, his face only showed embarrassment and ingratiation.

Chen Yu yawned as she walked downstairs and saw Chen Le cleaning. She frowned and looked at Chen Yan with a questioning gaze, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Cleaning? Oh, you young people are all so busy at work, let me help you."

"Put it down. You don't need to do this kind of thing. Go sit down and rest."

Chen Yu was wide awake and kept urging Chen Le to sit on the sofa. She snatched the broom from his hands. Chen Le tried to reason with her for a while, but he felt he had nothing to do and was just idling at home anyway. After thinking it over, Chen Yu decided to assign the cooking and cleaning tasks to Chen Le.

Chen Le cooked lunch. He was always worried that his cooking wouldn't suit Chen Yu's taste, as he hadn't cooked such meals in a long time and usually just ate something quick and easy.

Chen Yu and Shen Yan both said it was delicious, which made Chen Le feel a little more relaxed, and he happily started eating.

"Uncle, shall Shen Yan and I take you out to play?"

"Going out would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it?"

Chen Le's first thought was about money. He had just been swindled out of so much money and was now penniless.

Knowing that Chen Yu worked hard to earn money, he decisively shook his head, "No, it's a waste of money."

"My uncle is on paid leave, you won't miss this great opportunity, will you? The company will reimburse you."

"real?"

Chen Le's eyes lit up; he certainly wanted to go out and play, but... he felt that he should be the one paying to take the two little ones out.

Shen Yan took out a document and said, "Uncle, come out with me this afternoon. The police need some information from you. They will do their best to help you find it."

Chen Le looked at the documents in Shen Yan's hand. He opened them and glanced at them. A feeling of grievance immediately welled up inside him. He had lost both his love and his money.

"Uncle, did you hear that? There's a chance to get this money back."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Le nodded vigorously. After finishing her meal, Chen Yu returned to her room and searched for tourist attractions on her phone, looking for fun places to take her elders.

She thought that Chen Le used to like hiking, so why not take him hiking?

Or you could go to the zoo, so he can reminisce about the animals he used to keep. The farm was his life, and Chen Yu and Shen Yan both knew that.

Chen Yu quickly contacted the owner who bought the farm.

She secretly bought it back for Chen Le, so that if Chen Le didn't get used to living here, he could still go back.
