As Yang Niannian was riding her bicycle to the intersection of Chengzhong Street, she was blocked by a group of people. She had no choice but to get off the bicycle and push it.

As soon as I came into contact with the crowd, I heard someone shouting, "He is so young and doesn't learn his lesson. Beat him to death. Strip him naked and tie him to a tree."

Yang Niannian was very curious about what was happening ahead, but unfortunately there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze in with her bicycle.

Seeing an old man squeeze out from the crowd, she stopped him and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

"They're beating up thieves inside." The old man kindly reminded, "You're a little girl, don't go in there, or they might kill someone and scare you."

Originally, I didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but Yang Niannian somehow thought of Jiang Yang, so I was cautious and asked another question.

"Uncle, is the thief a man or a woman, and how old is she?"

"He's a young man." The old man pondered and said, "I guess he's about fifteen or sixteen years old. He has good hands and feet but he doesn't want to work. He runs to the street to steal. Who else should we beat if not him?"

People in this day and age hate thieves very much, and it is not uncommon for thieves to be beaten to death.

Yang Niannian's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't seen anyone yet, but she felt that it might be Jiang Yang, pushing her bicycle towards the inside.

"Please everyone make way."

The old man was a little puzzled, "Why don't you listen to advice as a little girl? Why are you coming forward to join in the fun?"

"I might know him." Yang Niannian said anxiously.

Who knew that when the old man heard it, he immediately shouted loudly, "Everyone make way, someone is coming to the thief's home."

In less than a minute, a passage was cleared in front of them.

Yang Niannian didn't care about anything else and quickly pushed her bicycle inside. She saw a thin young man being ridden and beaten by a burly man.

Although he was beaten black and blue, Yang Niannian still recognized Jiang Yang at a glance.

When Jiang Yang heard that his family had come, he thought it was his sister. He didn't want his sister to see him in such a miserable and injured state, and he was also worried that these people would embarrass his sister.

Just when I didn't know whether to hide my face or pretend that I didn't know my sister, I heard a voice like that of a god above my head.

"Hey, big brother, stop hitting me. I will help him pay back the money he stole."

Yang Niannian stepped on the bicycle stand, pulled the bicycle back to stop it, then rushed forward to pull away the man who was pressing on Jiang Yang, reached out to help Jiang Yang, but was pushed away by Jiang Yang.

Looking at Jiang Yang's bruised and battered face, Yang Niannian frowned. This man was really cruel.

The man who was pulled down looked at Yang Niannian with a gloomy face. Seeing that she was not dressed like a poor person and was pushing a bicycle, he asked curiously.

"What kind of relative are you to him?"

"I'm his sister."

"I don't know her."

Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang said in unison.

The man stared at Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang, questioning, "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong brother?"

Let’s not talk about the fact that the thief said he didn’t know her.

Looking at their appearance and the way they are dressed, they don’t look like a family.

"I've already told you I don't know her. Are you hard of hearing?" Jiang Yang stiffened his neck, looking like he was not going to be beaten.

Yang Niannian raised her hand and patted him on the head, scolding him fiercely, "You are so fierce for stealing things, hurry up and apologize to this big brother."

Jiang Yang groaned in pain. Although he was not convinced, he did not fight back and remained silent in anger.

Yang Niannian was so angry at Jiang Yang's attitude that she laughed and could only say a few nice words to the man.

"Brother, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining my brother. I will compensate you for whatever amount he stole from you."

Seeing that Yang Niannian had a good attitude and Jiang Yang only snatched two steamed buns, the man didn't suffer much loss, so he beat Jiang Yang up and didn't make things difficult for Yang Niannian.

Pointing at the dirty buns on the ground, he said, "He soiled two of my buns. Just give me the money for the buns as compensation."

Yang Niannian paid for the steamed buns and bought 10 more for Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang's stomach was rumbling, but he reached out and pushed the buns aside. He was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Niannian.

"What are you angry about?" It's really confusing.

"Didn't you ignore us? Why are you still pretending to be so hypocritical?" Jiang Yang stiffened his neck, his eyes red.

"How can I not care about you?" Yang Niannian felt strange. "Didn't we agree before that you could stay in the hospital for two more days? Why were you discharged early?"

Jiang Yang was embarrassed and aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice, "I ran out of money and had no hospital fees, so they wouldn't let me stay. I wanted to go to the army to find you, but Yueyue couldn't walk, so I took Yueyue to the city street to wait for you, thinking that you would definitely come to set up a stall, but who knew you never came."

He had been waiting for Yang Niannian with hope for the past two days, but he became more and more disappointed.

He didn't blame Yang Niannian, but he couldn't bear to see the light and then watch it go out. This was more painful than being in darkness all the time.

Yang Niannian explained, "My parents-in-law came from their hometown, and I had kidney stones and rested at home for a day. I went to the hospital yesterday but didn't find you."

After saying that, he shook the bun in his hand and said, "Can I eat it now?"

When Jiang Yang heard that Yang Niannian did not abandon him and even looked for him, his eyes instantly became redder and he almost cried.

In order to hide his tears, he took the buns from Yang Niannian's hand and ate five of them in one go. He couldn't bear to eat the rest, so he held the bun tightly and said.

"I had no money on me, so I wanted to ask for some steamed buns for Yueyue, but the shop owner refused to give me any. I asked him to buy on credit, but he refused. I took two buns when he wasn't paying attention and ran away, but he caught me."

He snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "If I hadn't eaten for the past two days and had no strength in my body, he would never have been able to catch me."

Yang Niannian felt both angry and amused, and asked in a helpless manner, "Where's Yueyue?"

"How can I take her with me when I rob?" Jiang Yang was a thief, but he didn't want his sister to know that he was a thief. "I asked him to wait for me near your stall."

Yang Niannian glared at him and quickly pushed her bicycle towards Chengzhong Street, "You are too careless. What if Yueyue is kidnapped?"

Jiang Yang followed her and said, "My sister is a girl and her foot is injured. Who can help her?"

It is common to pick up baby girls on the street. Families that value boys over girls think that there is no point in raising a baby girl and would rather give her away to be raised.

His sister's foot is still injured, and others are even less willing to take care of her.

The two quickly found Jiang Yueyue. Just like the first time Yang Niannian saw her, Jiang Yueyue was dirty all over, but her little face was clean.

She threw herself into Yang Niannian's arms and burst into tears, "Beautiful sister, I thought you didn't want me and my brother anymore."

Seeing his sister crying, Jiang Yang's nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes. He looked up at the sky to stop the tears from falling.

These past two days, his younger sister has been asking him if his beautiful sister doesn't want them anymore.

Jiang Yang said no, but he felt a little unsure.

He was penniless and had no skills. Yang Niannian wanted to open a scrap yard, and there were plenty of people willing to work there, and they didn't necessarily have to look for him.

Fortunately...Yang Niannian found them.

"I won't abandon you. When I sell all my clothes, I'll take you to see a house. I've already rented a place, and you can live there from now on. You don't have to wander around and go hungry, and you won't be bullied."

Yang Niannian held Jiang Yueyue and coaxed her for a while, then motioned for Jiang Yang to bring the buns over. "You must be hungry, eat the buns quickly."

For a pair of homeless brother and sister, nothing could make them happier than having a home that provides shelter and food.

Jiang Yang held back his tears of emotion and took Jiang Yueyue out of Yang Niannian's arms. "Go and set up a stall to sell clothes. We'll wait for you here."

The brother and sister are as dirty as beggars, and being in front of Yang Niannian will affect her business.

Yang Niannian didn't say anything more. She walked to the bicycle and prepared to set up the stall in front. She also reminded them, "Don't move here. Wait until twelve o'clock. Whether the clothes are sold out or not, I will close the stall."
