When Sun Xiaohao found the brothers Fan Zhiyuan and Fan Zhimao, his first impression was that his two cousins lacked energy and spirit.
They are in their twenties, the prime of their youth, but there is no trace of youth in either of them. They look like they are filled with bitterness and hatred.
One can tell at a glance that the two people's clothes are all cheap goods, and there is no matching at all. It seems that they only care about the clothes covering their bodies, and whether they look good or not is not within their consideration at all.
Look at Sun Xiaohao again. He has the most popular hairstyle among young people nowadays. He is wearing all branded clothes and is full of confidence in his every move.
He stayed in that community for two days and first learned about the family relationships, basic living conditions, and movements of his two cousins.
Afterwards, while his cousin Fan Zhiyuan was out buying groceries, he blocked his way.
Fan Zhiyuan was obviously a little timid and unconfident when facing the stranger Sun Xiaohao. But Sun Xiaohao was very familiar with people and called out with a smile: "Cousin, I finally found you..."
Fan Zhiyuan asked doubtfully: "Did you recognize the wrong person? I don't know you..."
Sun Xiaohao replied: "We have never met before, but you should know my mother, right? My mother is Zhan Jinhua, your aunt..."
Fan Zhiyuan was visibly startled when he heard the name Zhan Jinhua. Ever since his mother Zhan Yinhua's accident, it seemed like no one had mentioned the Zhan family in years.
If Sun Xiaohao hadn't appeared, he would have almost forgotten his relationship with the Zhan family.
He asked Sun Xiaohao: "Are you my aunt's son? What's your name?"
Sun Xiaohao said, "I'm Xiaoshu. I was too young when my family was in trouble, and I got separated from my grandmother and her family. I've been wandering around for years. Although my life is pretty good now, I still want to find my family.
I was six years old at the time and I remember some things from my childhood. Although I had never met you and my second cousin, I had always known about your existence. So I followed my memory and asked around here. I didn’t expect to actually find you…”
Over the years, Fan Zhiyuan had only been in contact with the Fan family, as the Zhan family had been destroyed. Now that he could find his cousin, Fan Zhiyuan felt a sudden sense of familiarity with Sun Xiaohao.
No matter what happened that caused the Zhan family to end up in such a situation, in Fan Zhiyuan's heart, the Zhan family is always closer than the Fan family.
When I was little, every time I went to my grandparents' house, I was always warmly welcomed. At that time, my grandma's family was well-off, my mother had a respectable status, and my grandma's family treated my brother and me with respect.
Ever since the incident with the Zhan family, everything has been different. The Fan family's attitudes change faster than the weather, and anyone can boss the two brothers around.
In the first few years, the two brothers were unwilling to accept their fate and considered rebelling. However, as time went on, their lives became meaningless and their edges had long been worn down, leading to their current state of living from day to day.
Sun Xiaohao recalled that in his previous life, he had fallen ill when he was about the same age as the two brothers Fan Zhiyuan and Fan Zhimao. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the brothers would be diagnosed with a terminal illness, just like he had been in his previous life.
I don't know if they are aware of this evil gene in their bodies. If they are aware, they are still so controlled by others. It can only be said that there is no blood in their bodies.
Sun Xiaohao had no memory of his two cousins. Perhaps they had already died of illness before he fell ill. This was not impossible.
He asked Fan Zhiyuan: "Cousin, can we find a place to have a good chat?"
Fan Zhiyuan glanced at the time and said, "How about we talk while we walk? I still need to go buy some groceries and come back to cook for my grandparents."
Sun Xiaohao sighed and replied, "Is this the kind of life you're living now? Isn't this a nanny's job? To tell you the truth, I've met my second uncle. It was because of him that I thought of coming to see you two and see how you're doing..."
It took Fan Zhiyuan a moment to realize who the "second uncle" Sun Xiaohao was talking about.
His expression was dull and awkward, and he remained silent. His memories of Fan Hua had long since faded. He was completely disappointed with this nominal father, and there was really nothing to mention.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Xiaohao continued, "Big cousin, are you and second cousin happy with the way things are now? Caring for the elderly is the job of children and nannies. What's the point of you two grandsons staying by their side all day?"
Fan Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said unconfidently: "We both have no academic qualifications and no other skills. I don't know what we can do..."
Sun Xiaohao disagreed with Fan Zhiyuan's statement. He said, "Don't underestimate yourself. I think you've just been around the elderly for too long and haven't shown any vitality. In your situation, you could definitely hire a nanny to take care of them."
Even if you two don't make a ton of money, you'll be able to see more of the world. Staying at home all the time will make you disconnected from society. To be frank, how many more years can your grandparents live? By the time they're gone, you'll be thirty, and it'll be even harder to venture out into the world.
"The Fan family has quite a few children, so why do they have to pick on you two? Aren't they just bullying you because you're helpless? Others of your generation can go out to school and find decent jobs after graduation, but you two are just sitting around at home, completely wasting your time..."
What Sun Xiaohao said was a bit unpleasant, but Fan Zhiyuan had to admit that it was the fact.
The children of the Fan family are all living a good life now. Every time they have a family gathering, they talk about work, family, food, drink and fun. Only the two brothers can't get a word in and can only find a corner where no one will notice them and remain silent.
