After saying that, Lin Xiaoying also ran out of the store as if she had greased her feet, and went to chase after Shiyu.
...
Night was falling.
Grandpa Shi got drunk.
But Zhan Xiuchen's face remained handsome, without even a hint of blush.
Shi Nian also found it strange.
They clearly drank so much alcohol.
But Grandpa got completely drunk.
Why is this man acting like nothing happened?
Shi Nian helped Grandpa Shi to his bedroom to sleep.
Just as we had settled Grandpa and Grandma Shi in, we suddenly heard a desperate cry from outside the door: "I don't want to die! Dad! I don't want to die!"
Shi Nian's expression changed.
It was Xiao Hu's voice from next door.
Shi Nian didn't care about Zhan Xiuchen in the living room and rushed out the door.
When Shi Nian rushed into Xiao Hu's house, she saw Xiao Hu pointing at the braised pork on the table.
On that small, old dining table, there was only one dish.
He trembled, "Dad, I saw it! I saw you put rat poison in there! I won't eat it! I won't eat it! I'll die! I'll die!"
"Dad! I don't want to die! Little Tiger doesn't want to die!"
Shi Nian looked at Xiao Hu's father in disbelief.
As neighbors, we know each other very well.
Shi Nian knew how much Xiao Hu's father loved his only son!
So how could I possibly poison Xiaohu!
However, when faced with his son's questioning, Xiao Hu's father did not refute it.
"Uncle, what happened?" Shi Nian immediately stepped forward and asked.
Tiger's father didn't say anything at first.
When Shi Nian asked again, Xiao Hu's father finally burst into tears.
........
Xiao Hu's father is a construction worker.
Three months ago, he fell from a high-rise building and lost his right hand.
There's not much in the slums.
The largest number of people are those who do manual labor.
Therefore, Tiger's father, having lost his right hand, is essentially worthless.
Nobody wanted to hire Tiger's dad.
This plunged the already impoverished family into utter despair.
Little Tiger's mother couldn't stand this kind of life and left two months ago.
Only Xiaohu and his father were left to depend on each other for survival.
Today, Little Tiger really had a craving.
He wants to eat meat.
I really want to eat meat.
After his father lost his job, he never ate meat again.
Unable to resist his craving, Xiao Hu secretly went to the market and stole a piece of meat, only to be caught by the vendor.
They were all people living nearby, and the vendors knew about Xiaohu's family situation.
The vendor took pity on Xiaohu and delivered a piece of meat directly to his home.
But for Xiaohu's father, this was nothing short of a disgrace.
He doesn't even have the ability to buy a piece of meat for his child!
The only thing we can do is let the kids steal!
Tiger's father was utterly devastated!
Tonight, he wanted to die with Xiao Hu.
........
After listening, Shi Nian's head buzzed.
She was breathing rapidly: "Uncle, you can't do this! You have to live! There's hope as long as you're alive! If you die like this, you'll have nothing left!"
"Xiaohu is still so young, he has a future ahead of him, you can't let his life end today!"
Tiger's father was utterly devastated.
He looked at Shi Nian and said, "Nian Nian, there is hope for everything in this world, except for the lives of the poor. The lives of the poor are just endless suffering! Suffering until birth, suffering until death!"
"What hope can Xiaohu have? He'll just be repeating the same impoverished and tormented life as his father. What's the point?" Xiaohu's father said, his eyes filled with despair.
That means they have lost all hope for life!
There is only one disease in this world.
That's poverty.
What truly destroyed Xiaohu's family was not Xiaohu's father's lost right hand.
Rather, they are poor.
So poor that they have to steal to get even a bite of meat!
Not being able to afford meat became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian was startled.
Just then, a deep voice suddenly came: "Even if it has no meaning, his life should be in his own hands, not yours."
With the sound, Zhan Xiuchen walked in.
Under the dim light of the incandescent bulb, he stood tall, his brow bone and nose bridge divided by a line of light and shadow, making his eyes appear particularly deep.
Zhan Xiuchen looked at Xiaohu's father: "You are his father, you gave him life, but that doesn't mean you can take his life away."
After saying that, Zhan Xiuchen glanced at the braised pork on the table again: "Did you make this?"
Little Tiger's father stared blankly at Zhan Xiuchen.
He didn't recognize the man in front of him.
But the noble demeanor and powerful aura of the man before him were unlike anything he had ever seen in his life.
This shocked him.
He nodded subconsciously and raised his only remaining left hand.
Although it's not very convenient to use the left hand.
But it's not a big problem to cook a dish, even if it's just a little bit.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiu's eyes darkened slightly.
........
Ten minutes later, the utter despair on Little Tiger's father's face vanished completely.
All that remained was excitement.
All that remained was trembling.
He even pulled Xiao Hu to kneel down and thank Zhan Xiuchen.
Little Tiger's dad never expected this!
I never would have guessed that!
The man in front of him actually gave him a job opportunity in the wealthy neighborhood.
That was an exhibition hall in a wealthy neighborhood.
His job was to check the tickets of the visitors.
This job can be done even if you lose your right hand.
This made Tiger's father ecstatic.
You should know that having a job in a wealthy area is something everyone in a poor neighborhood dreams of.
