Chapter 457 Just Because I Don’t Care
Zhu Shiliang got back into the car and asked Yu Shui to drive back to the escort team.
On the way, Chen Qing and Cui Xian seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Li Yinhe could not help but said directly: "The three of us did not lend him food, is this okay?"
Zhu Shiliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What's wrong with that? We've given him a lot. Does he still have to rely on us to support him?"
Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they were not really kind-hearted people. Although they sympathized with Ke Wenpei, they had no intention of lending him food.
After all, our relationship was average before. Although we worked in the same unit, we were not very familiar with each other.
The reason they were nervous was that they felt that half of the seven people in the group had offered to help, but the three of them were indifferent, and they were afraid that their companions would have some thoughts.
Fortunately, Zhu Shiliang did not think that they were heartless and ungrateful.
On the other side, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan drove in the direction Ke Wenpei was heading home for about fifteen minutes before they met Ke Wenpei, who was in high spirits.
Bi Qiaoan saw him walking with a breeze and said with a smile: "Now that I have borrowed some food, I have changed my previous depressed mood."
Chen Yanming also smiled, "Finally, the heavy stone in my heart has been removed. I feel more alive now, don't I?"
Then two beeps woke up Ke Wenpei, who was sitting on the curb and was immersed in his fantasy of a better life in the future.
He turned around and saw a familiar license plate number, then waved with a smile.
Perhaps because the knot in her heart had been untied, she had forgotten whether Shen Yanming held a grudge or not, and instead asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Aren't you going home?"
Shen Yanming bent down, stretched his head to Bi Qiaoan, and said through the car window: "Get in the car first, Qiaoan and I will take you back."
Ke Wenpei was a little confused, but he still obediently opened the back door and got in.
Shen Yanming started the car, and then said to him: "I have 40 kilograms of food on my car, 10 kilograms were given to you by Yu Shui, and 10 kilograms were given to you by Zhu Shiliang. These must be returned.
There are still 20 kilograms left. Qiao An and I gave you this as a gift. You can consider this as a gift for your son and daughter. You don’t need to exchange it.”
Ke Wenpei blinked, and then blinked again, unable to believe what he heard. He looked at Bi Qiaoan, but saw that she chuckled, then nodded and said, "He's not kidding, it's really for you."
After Ke Wenpei was sure that he was not hallucinating, his eyes began to sour. He then resisted the urge to cry and stammered, "I, I thought, I thought, you, you didn't want to borrow..."
Shen Yanming interrupted with a smile, “There are so many people inside. If we offer you 20 kilograms of food and say you don’t have to pay it back, what would you let everyone do?
They also have to support their families, unlike us who have no burden, so we kept silent in there and thought we could just do it privately. "
Ke Wenpei nodded with emotion, "Thank you, I am too petty."
Then he looked at Shen Yanming's profile and apologized sincerely, "Yanming, I was sorry for you before, and I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you just because I have to bear the consequences.
It's my fault. I never apologized to you formally. I didn't expect that you would help me regardless of the past. "
After listening to this, Shen Yanming nodded, "Well, I forgive you. It is understandable that you said a few unpleasant words when you were angry at that time. What's more, you figured it out later.
To be honest, I was a little bit responsible for your behavior. If I hadn't brought the dried fruits into the office, you probably wouldn't have...
Well, it's all old news, so let's not look at it anymore, it's useless. But, we should learn from our mistakes and be careful in what we do in the future, and never act recklessly. "
Ke Wenpei nodded, "I know. After going through so much, I understand. In fact, I should thank you. You and the leaders had good intentions at the beginning. It was me who was blinded and too greedy, which led to the bitter consequences. But I won't do that again in the future."
Shen Yanming smiled with relief, then said nothing.
In fact, for him, it really doesn't matter whether Ke Wenpei changes or not. He is just a passer-by anyway, and they may not meet again in the future.
Moreover, the twenty kilograms of food he gave was just a drop in the ocean for him, just the price he paid to make up for that little bit of guilt.
Through this incident, it is good to be able to show kindness or resolve hatred. After all, they are all members of society, and he does not want to have an extra enemy when he is not paying attention.
Moreover, he was not afraid that Ke Wenpei would stick to him. After all, not everyone could go to the guard team's place.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the neighborhood where Ke Wenpei lived.
Shen Yanming parked the car downstairs, opened the trunk, took out two sealed bags and stuffed them into Ke Wenpei's hands, and then took two sealed bags for himself.
"Let's go, I'll take you upstairs. Qiao An is pregnant, so let me wait in the car for a while."
Ke Wenpei nodded, then took the lead and walked ahead.
On the stairs, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you go home to get food? How come you were so fast?"
Shen Yanming smiled and did not explain that they were storing food in the car. After all, walls have ears, and he was afraid of being noticed.
But in Ke Wenpei's eyes, this smile was an acknowledgement, so he was even more grateful to them.
What a wonderful misunderstanding.
Shen Yanming helped Ke Wenpei put the cornmeal into the kitchen and locked it, and then he saw two children looking at him timidly.
Ke Wenpei quickly introduced that these were his children Xiaoheng and Xiaomin, and asked the children to call them uncle.
After the two children realized that this was not a bad guy who came to steal their food, they both called out sweetly, "Uncle!"
Shen Yanming smiled and nodded, feeling a little sad as he looked at their skeleton-like bodies.
He walked up to them, touched their heads, and then took out a few candies and two chocolates from his pocket, put them in their palms, and said, "Uncle was in a hurry today and couldn't prepare any gifts for you. Next time we meet, uncle will treat you to a meal, okay?"
"Really? Thank you, uncle!" Xiao Heng and Xiao Min did not doubt the truthfulness of Shen Yanming's words at all.
After looking at her father and getting his approval, she reached out and took the candy from the kind uncle.
Then everyone peels one and puts it in their mouth. The slight milky aroma seems to sweeten their heart.
Xiaoheng and Xiaomin couldn't help but smile when they tasted the long-lost candy, and their dark eyes suddenly brightened like stars.
Shen Yanming smiled, turned around and said goodbye to Ke Wenpei, but Ke Wenpei insisted on sending him to the bottom of the building.
I couldn't refuse, so I agreed to his request.
"Yanming, thank you so much today. I know those candies are expensive, but the children haven't eaten them for a long time, so out of selfishness, I let them take them, and I will return them to you later..." I will return them to you when I have them.
