Chapter 407 "Family" Reunion 1
The two of them haven't been to the village house for several years. They usually live in town, and when they return to the city, they usually go to their grandmother's house.
The banker’s affairs had caused a big mess before, and they were old enough to understand things, so they probably understood what was going on, and that’s why they had never come.
The two of them were originally covered in dirt, but fortunately they had gone to their grandmother's house to change clothes, so now as long as they lowered their heads, they would not attract attention.
Before entering the house, the two spent fifty cents to buy a few pomegranates at the entrance of the alley and carried them with them.
It was Zhuang's mother who opened the door. Before she could see who was who, the two men pushed the door open and walked into the house.
Zhuang's mother was startled and was about to shout, but the two men hugged her legs and cried, calling "Grandma, Grandma".
After listening for a long time, Zhuang's mother realized that they were her two precious grandsons Zhendong and Zhenbei.
Mother Zhuang looked down and saw that both of them had wounds on their faces. It was hard to recognize someone she saw every day after being beaten like that, not to mention that she hadn't seen him for several years and his voice had changed. She didn't dare to recognize him.
"I don't know you, get out!"
Zhuang's mother wanted to push them away, but there were two big men opposite her, so how could she push them away? She got anxious, her blood pressure rose, and she felt dizzy.
The two men hurriedly helped her sit down.
At this time, Zhuang Chaoying came back from outside and was also shocked when he saw this scene.
"Uncle!" Lin Zhendong called out.
Zhuang Chaoying then recognized the two people: "Zhendong Zhenbei"
"Yes, yes, it's us!" The two nodded rapidly.
"Why are you here?" Zhuang Chaoying was surprised.
"We came to the city from the town to find work, and we met some bad guys who robbed us of our money and beat us up..." Lin Zhendong cried.
"Why don't you go to your grandma's house? Why are you here?" Zhuang Chaoying asked again.
"My uncle and his family were afraid that we would attract bad guys, so they kicked us out. We are penniless now, haven't eaten for a day, and don't have the money to go back to town... After much thought, we had no choice but to come here..." Lin Zhendong cried miserably.
Lin Zhenbei just nodded and said "yes, yes, yes" and "yes, yes, yes".
Zhuang Chaoying didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing how pitiful the two were, he went to get the medicine box.
"Apply some medicine first."
"Thank you, uncle..." Lin Zhendong said with gratitude.
Zhuang's mother finally recognized the two of them. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhendong, Zhenbei! Just put on some medicine and hurry back! We can't take you in, or your mother will definitely be dissatisfied."
When Lin Zhenbei heard what Zhuang's mother said, he burst into tears again:
"Grandma, I know. We'll be leaving soon. We just miss you. I don't know anything else. I just know that you loved us in the past. We just came to see you..."
"Wow!!" Lin Zhenbei also howled in cooperation.
"Mom, I'll go make them some noodles."
It was obvious to Zhuang's mother that the two were pretending, but only the stupid Zhuang Chaoying couldn't see it.
"Chaoying! Come in with me!" She shouted to Zhuang Chaoying, motioning him to come into the house.
"You apply the medicine first." Zhuang Chaoying said to the two of them, and then went into the house with Zhuang's mother.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhuang's mother grabbed Zhuang Chaoying fiercely and cursed in a low voice:
"Are you stupid, Zhuang Chaoying? Can't you see that these two are just idiots? What kind of good person would be beaten like this? Even if they were robbed, they wouldn't be beaten like that! Besides, do they look like rich people? Robbers would rob you, not them!"
Zhuang Chaoying stared at his mother blankly and understood.
"If you treat them well today, they will come more often, you know? Tomorrow, when you go to work, we two old people will be at home and we can take care of everything in the house for them!"
As Zhuang's mother spoke, she hit Zhuang Chaoying's arm hard several times.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhuang Chaoying asked, rubbing his arm.
"Send him out, send him out." Zhuang's mother said with disgust, as if she was throwing away some garbage.
"How can you get rid of them? You said they were like dog-skin plasters that you can't get rid of if you pay them, but you can't get rid of them if you don't pay them. Then why didn't you let them in? I can't handle these two young people alone if they make a fuss!" Zhuang Chaoying was also embarrassed.
When Zhuang's mother heard this, she felt that Zhuang Chaoying was right and that it would be difficult to solve the problem no matter what they did.
"I didn't know it just now! They just pushed me in..." Zhuang's mother regretted it so much now, "Well, I'll pretend to go buy groceries, and then go to the police station."
"Mom! They haven't done anything now. If you report them, you will offend them. They will come to harass you every day in the future. You have to report to the police station every day." Zhuang Chaoying was worried about the future.
"Yeah, then what do you think we should do?" Zhuang's mother threw the question back to Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying thought about it seriously: "After all, it was the same before... Well, I'll give them some money first and then try to persuade them. I hope they will learn their lesson! If they come again, we'll talk to them then."
When Zhuang's mother heard about giving money, she felt so painful that she lowered her voice and said:
"Don't give too much! Just give a few dollars for the bus ride!"
Before Zhuang Chaoying could answer, he heard Zhuang's father's howling coming from his room.
Zhuang's mother slapped her thigh and cried out "Oh no!", and the two of them hurried out of the room and went to Zhuang's father's room.
When I got to the room, I saw one person supporting Zhuang's father and another holding a urinal.
Lin Zhendong explained: "Uncle, we just wanted to see grandpa and leave, he just happened to be going to the bathroom..."
"Oh, I'll do it, thank you!" Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly took the urinal.
Lin Zhendong dodged for a moment and didn't let Zhuang Chaoying take the urinal. He said:
"It's okay. We were young and ignorant before, and we didn't take good care of our grandparents. Now we are older, and we can still do this little thing."
Zhuang's mother and Zhuang Chaoying looked at each other.
Finally, after dealing with Zhuang's father, everyone returned to the living room.
Zhuang Chaoying said to them earnestly, "Zhendong, Zhenbei, aren't you at work now?"
Lin Zhenbei replied, "I can't find any good jobs. Uncle, do you have any good jobs to recommend?"
Zhuang Chaoying really regretted asking this question. What kind of work could he recommend? Even if he had one, he wouldn't dare recommend it to them!
"Hey, you know, your uncle is just a teacher, not very useful... Just take your time to look for a job. You're young, strong, and not afraid of hardship, so you'll definitely find a job. Don't be too picky, just work your way up while looking..."
After just a few words, Zhuang Chaoying started preaching.
"We understand." The two nodded obediently.
"You know the situation at home. Your grandparents' health is getting worse day by day. Most of the money in the family is spent on their medical treatment. Your uncle is also stretched to the limit..." Zhuang Chaoying also started to act pitifully.
The two looked at each other and lowered their heads.
"But since you are here and call me uncle, I can't let you leave this door empty-handed. Here are five dollars. You can buy some food and then take the bus home. Your mother must be worried." Zhuang Chaoying took out five dollars from his pocket.
"Uncle, I really shouldn't have accepted it, but I really have no choice today. So, I will return it to you when I come to the city again in a few days." Lin Zhendong took the money.
"No, no, Zhendong, you don't have to pay it back. Uncle didn't help much. You...it's better not to come. We...you know, it's so hard for everyone to forget...this..." Zhuang Chaoying stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.
Lin Zhenbei nodded: "I understand, let's go."
After saying that, the two of them left the dealership smoothly.
