Xiang Pengfei quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, good people are rewarded!"
At this moment, Zhuang Tunan was heartbroken, while arranging books and magazines.
For Tu Nan, this is an enlightenment, teaching him that he must work hard, that his parents will eventually leave him, and that if he is not strong, he will face even more suffering.
Zhang Min looked at Pengfei, who seemed a little dazed. She wasn't sure if he was worried about his aunt or something else, so she asked, "Brother Pengfei, do you have something else to do?"
Xiang Pengfei was currently burdened by three mountains. First, he wanted to find Zhou Chengzhi and ask him why he sent someone to hit his aunt. Second, Zhou Yuxiang was still waiting for him on the road. She was dressed so thinly; would she get sick? Third, he was worried about his aunt, whom he cared about the most. As he thought about these things, tears streamed down his face.
Hearing Zhang Min's question, he sobbed and said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about my aunt, afraid something might happen to her?"
Zhang Min bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Pengfei, if you're worried, you should go to the hospital to check on them! Those two elderly people are probably too busy to handle everything. They'll have to go through the admission procedures, checkups, get their medication, and so on. They'll definitely be very busy!"
Xiang Pengfei was about to fly over to help his aunt and uncle, but when he looked up and saw Zhuang Tunan still busy setting up his stall, he worried that his cousin wouldn't be able to take care of him, so he said, "Let's wait a bit! I'll go after I buy my cousin some food and when I'm not busy this morning!"
Zhang Min said, "No need, Brother Pengfei, I can take care of Brother Tunan and the stall here. You go and help the two old people!"
"Then what about me...?"
"Go ahead! It's alright, Pengfei, I'm here!"
Xiang Pengfei then nodded and said, "Thank you, Xiaomin!"
"No need to be so polite, Brother Pengfei, we're all on the same side!"
Xiang Pengfei then turned around and strode forward.
Seeing him running so fast, Zhang Min said, "Let's take a taxi, Pengfei!"
As Xiang Pengfei ran, he turned back and said, "My car is parked at that intersection over there!"
"Oh, then slow down! Don't rush!"
"Okay, thank you, Xiaomin!"
Xiaomin didn't reply to Xiang Pengfei's words; she was busy arranging books and newspapers.
However, Xiaomin and Xiang Pengfei's conversation was overheard by Wu Shanshan, who was also getting up early to greet the students arriving for school.
Just as Wu Shanshan was about to withdraw her disgusted gaze, Liu Jian, who was standing next to her, said, "It seems your sister is quite devoted to the Zhuang family!"
Having nowhere to vent her anger, Wu Shanshan suddenly started punching Liu Jian.
Liu Jian shrank back in fright, saying, "Why are you hitting me? Didn't I give you enough fun last night?"
While hitting Liu Jian, Wu Shanshan said, "All you do is target me. Why don't you try to drive the bookie away so I can open my bookstore?"
"Thinking of solutions is one thing, but you don't have to hit me!"
"I get so angry watching that brat help Zhuang Tunan. If I don't beat you up, who am I supposed to beat up?"
"Mom and Dad haven't gone to work yet, you can go and tell on Zhang Min! Tell her she's flirting with Zhuang Tunan!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shanshan stopped hitting Liu Jian, then turned around and walked arrogantly toward the alley entrance.
Xiang Pengfei strode over to his car and saw Zhou Yuxiang curled up, her face pale. He quickly got in, started the engine, and turned on the air conditioning before saying to Zhou Yuxiang, "Silly girl, why didn't you start the car and turn on the air conditioning yourself?"
Zhou Yuxiang sneezed first, then said tremblingly, "How am I supposed to know when you'll be here? What if you come back late and the car's out of gas? How are we supposed to move it then?"
"You silly goose, what if you catch a cold? Come on, I'll take you home first!"
"How is your aunt? Has she gone to the hospital?"
“My uncle took her to the hospital. I was worried that they wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I wanted to go to the hospital to help them!”
"Let's go! To the hospital!"
"Go to the hospital? What about you! You're dressed so lightly, you'll easily get sick!"
"Alright! Stop dawdling like a girl!"
Xiang Pengfei then stepped on the gas and headed towards the hospital.
When Wu Shanshan got home, she launched into a long, rambling monologue that left Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei looking helpless and yawning repeatedly.
Zhang Amei glanced at Wu Shanshan and said, "Aren't you busy at kindergarten?"
Wu Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Mom, Zhang Min wants to be with Zhuang Tunan!"
Zhang Amei said dismissively, "Stop spreading rumors, okay? Zhuang Tunan's girlfriend is named Li Jia. They even had dinner together on New Year's Eve a few days ago!"
"You don't know, Mom, they broke up. Now Xiaomin doesn't go to work anymore. She spends all her time at the newsstand helping Zhuang Jiabai. She works for me, and I still give her eight hundred yuan!"
Zhang Amei raised an eyebrow and said in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
Wu Shanshan quickly added fuel to the fire, saying, "Why would I lie to you, Mom? Xiaomin is still busy with Zhuang Tunan right now! She's a grown woman, doesn't she know shame? If others see this, they'll start gossiping again!"
Zhang Amei was probably swayed by Wu Shanshan's words, and said, "Come on, take me to see it!"
A sly smile suddenly appeared on Wu Shanshan's face, as if she felt a strange sense of satisfaction. She took Zhang Amei's arm and said, "Come on, Mom!"
The two arrived at the entrance of the alley and saw Zhang Min and Zhuang Tunan setting up a stall.
When Zhang Amei saw Zhuang Tunan's face full of sorrow, with tear stains still wet on his cheeks, it was clear that Zhuang Tunan had just been crying.
Zhang Amei walked up to Zhuang Tunan and said, "Tunan, what's wrong? Where are your parents?"
Zhuang Tunan sobbed again, and said in a wronged tone like a child, "Aunt Zhang, my mom, my mom was in a car accident, my dad took my mom to the hospital, my mom, my mom vomited blood!"
"What? Oh dear, my dear sister-in-law!"
After saying that, Zhang Amei turned and ran home, calling out as she ran, "Jianguo, Jianguo, Wu Jianguo!"
When Wu Shanshan saw her mother running towards the house, she was a little confused and called out, "Mom, Mom!"
Zhang Amei ignored Wu Shanshan and ran home while shouting. When she got home, she saw Wu Jianguo washing his face and hurriedly said, "I haven't seen you wash your face in a hundred days. What's so clean about it today? Hurry up and go to the hospital!"
Wu Jianguo was about to grab a towel to wipe his face when he asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? There's still plenty of time!"
"Huang Ling was in a car accident and is in the hospital now. Tu Nan said she's even vomiting blood!"
"Oh my god, my sister-in-law is going to suffer terribly!"
As he spoke, he threw down the towel and, without thinking twice, turned and ran outside.
He walked to the door but then turned back, saying, "Oh dear, I still have a lot of work to do today! I have to deliver the goods tomorrow!"
Zhang Amei said angrily, "You can find work anytime, but if your neighbor is gone, you'll never see him again!"
"Yes, yes, to the hospital, to the hospital!"
The couple talked as they walked out together. When they reached the newsstand, Wu Jianguo said to Zhang Min, "Min! Help your brother Tu Nan with some work, and remember to buy him some breakfast; he has difficulty moving around!"
Zhang Min nodded and said, "I understand, Dad!"
Zhang Amei, who has a good memory, urged, "Stop dawdling and hurry up, we can help out at the hospital!"
"Here they come! Here they come!"
Wu Shanshan was bewildered as the two elderly people chatted back and forth. She pulled Wu Jianguo and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"
Wu Jianguo shoved Wu Shanshan and said, "Go pull her aside, don't delay my business!"
Wu Shanshan watched as the two elderly people supported each other as they went to the hospital. She stomped her foot and stormed off to the kindergarten.
