After being rescued, Hou Jianzhong always remembered Jiang Shixun's life-saving grace and gave special instructions to his son.
However, Jiang Shixun's identity was quite sensitive at that time. He was worried about complications, so he never revealed his identity and even gave a fake name.
Later, he became familiar with the Hou father and son, and hesitated whether to tell Hou Jianzhong, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
This time he needed Hou Jianzhong's help, so he made up his mind and told Hou Jianzhong his identity.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Shixun felt a little guilty: "Brother Hou, I had to hide it before. You won't blame me, right?"
Hou Jianzhong laughed after hearing this: "What's the big deal? Am I such a stingy person? It's understandable that you did this. I understand your difficulties."
He himself is a very cautious person, so how could he blame Jiang Shixun?
With all the chaos in the past few years, Jiang Shixun was right to be cautious. If he were too honest, he might be eaten alive by someone.
Just like him, he felt guilty towards Fang Aiping and thought that since she despised him, he should give her some compensation and let her go free.
But what about her?
They actually teamed up with outsiders to steal all his money!
They never thought about how they would live without the money!
After all, he trusted Fang Aiping too much and was not on guard against her, allowing her to know where he hid the money.
It’s ridiculous that he didn’t die on the battlefield, but almost died at the hands of a bandit!
If Jiang Shixun had not happened to pass by, kindly helped him stop the bleeding, sent him to the hospital, and paid for his medical expenses, he would have died long ago.
If he still cares about such a small matter after receiving such a great favor, is he still a human being?
Hou Jianzhong quickly added, "I've accepted this. It's not a big deal. Besides, I should have gone to visit my uncle and aunt. But you can take these things back. I don't want them."
Jiang Shixun breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Hou, aren't you being distant with me? Besides, it's not a valuable thing. I'm counting on you to help look after my parents, so how can I let you work for nothing?
I live in Jincheng, which is quite far from here, so I can't come here often. I'd like to ask you to take care of my parents.
Besides, my parents live in a cowshed. They are old and in poor health, and they can't stand the hardship. I want them to live a good life, but I don't dare to give them too much. You should understand why.
So I'll have to trouble you to help send them some food and supplies from now on. This will definitely take a lot of effort."
After a pause, Jiang Shixun continued, "The monkey is in the growth stage. People say that the young boy will make me poor, so I can't let him suffer from his health.
So, Brother Hou, please don't be polite with me. I know what I should and shouldn't give. You don't have to worry about me giving too much. After all, I have a wife and children to support, so how can I be so extravagant? "
Hou Jianzhong heard his sincerity and thought of his skinny son, so he had to agree.
"Okay, since you said so, I'll take these. Don't worry, leave the affairs of your uncle and aunt to me from now on. As long as I can still breathe, I won't let them be bullied."
The situation has changed now, otherwise Hou Jianzhong would not dare to make this guarantee.
Jiang Shixun thanked him and, considering his mobility issues, personally helped him deliver the things to the kitchen.
Hou Jianzhong followed in and took a look. He found that it was just wheat, rapeseed and eggs. They were indeed not very precious things, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is too expensive, he will not feel at ease.
