Wang Chao is a loyal person.
He would never abandon his brothers, let alone bear to see them living such miserable lives.
Seeing Pei Donghu in such a state, he immediately made up his mind to pull him out of this quagmire.
"You still know medical skills?" Song Henian was surprised.
What kind of undercover agent is Wang Chao?
He actually knows medical skills too?
"Wang Chao, we haven't seen each other for eight years. I appreciate your kindness for coming to see me," Pei Donghu said.
His legs had already been sentenced to death by the doctors, and there was no hope of recovery. He had already given up hope.
But Wang Chao's arrival brought a ray of light to his otherwise dark life.
In these years, he had been living a miserable life after offending Cui Hong's nephew, suffering from alienation and neglect from others.
For Pei Donghu, Wang Chao's visit was already something to be happy about.
"I really know medical skills," Wang Chao said.
"Let's not talk about this today. Did you bring barbecue?" Pei Donghu said. "I haven't had meat for a long time. Keep me company for a late-night snack."
"Okay." Tears welled up in Wang Chao's eyes as he nodded.
Song Henian promptly placed the barbecue, porridge, beer, and other things he had bought on the table, and handed a pair of clean chopsticks to Pei Donghu's parents.
Although there was a stench coming from the nearby garbage dump, Pei Donghu's family enjoyed their meal with relish.
Pei Donghu's father sighed, "Henian, we are really grateful to you. We only get to have a decent meal when you come."
Pei Donghu's mother echoed, "True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. You are our true brother and friend, Xiaonian."
As they ate, they reminisced, and even packed up the leftover bones.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Why are you hiding these bones, Uncle and Auntie?" Wang Chao frowned.
"We use them to make porridge," Pei Donghu's mother smiled and said, "Henian is also very busy with work, he can only come four times a month. When he's not here, we don't have oil or salt at home, so we use these bones to make porridge to nourish Donghu's body."
"These chicken bones are good stuff."
Hearing this, Wang Chao suddenly felt a heavy weight in his chest.
He had anticipated that Pei Donghu was not living well, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "These bones are not that expensive, you can leave the village and buy them elsewhere."
Hearing this, Pei Donghu's family and Song Henian fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Wang Chao asked.
"Don't you know? Many years ago, Cui Hong's nephew issued a severe order to keep an eye on Donghu's family. As long as they try to leave the mountain, they will send people to beat them up." Song Henian whispered to Wang Chao.
Wang Chao's face darkened. "They are going too far!!" He clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds, his anger raging.
No wonder when they entered the village earlier, there were several young people staring at them at the village entrance.
So those people were monitoring them.
"The situation has already happened, if I have to blame anyone, I can only blame myself for overestimating my abilities, trying to compete with others without the capital, and ending up in such a situation of my own making." Pei Donghu smiled bitterly, then said to Wang Chao, "Brother Chao, I'm sure you've had a hard time these years too. We've finished our meal, so you should leave quickly."
Wang Chao looked at the new wounds on Pei Donghu's body and asked, "Were these wounds also caused by them?"
"Brother Chao, please don't ask." Pei Donghu's expression was unpleasant.
Wang Chao didn't say anything more, but lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and started smoking, his face darkening.
Whenever he was angry or annoyed, he would smoke, using the taste of nicotine to stimulate himself and calm down.
The angrier he was, the more he needed to stay calm.
About a minute later, Wang Chao made a decision. "Pack up your things and follow me."
This place is a quagmire!
He wouldn't let his brothers be trapped and die in the quagmire no matter what!
"Brother Chao, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't leave." Pei Donghu smiled bitterly.
No matter what Wang Chao said, he refused to leave with him.
He had been threatened by his enemies before, that if he dared to leave, they would kill his parents.
For the sake of his parents' safety, he could only swallow his pride.
"The reason you're scared is because someone is monitoring you, right? This is not a problem, I will take care of it later." Wang Chao said coldly.
"Brother Chao, I'm grateful for your arrival, but please don't intervene in this matter. We can't fight against them." Pei Donghu looked pained.
There was a time when he was as unwilling to admit defeat as Wang Chao, thinking that he could fight against those forces.
But the cruel reality had knocked him into hell directly.
He has witnessed many dark sides, seen hell, and his once ambitious aspirations have long been extinguished, leaving only fear of people like Cui Hong in his heart.
He is now like this, unwilling to follow in Wang Chao's footsteps and meet the same fate.
Wang Chao smokes, his gaze cold, "Donghu, don't worry, I am not the same person I was eight years ago, those people can't harm me anymore."
"I'll make a phone call, you pack your things, I'll take you away from here now."
After speaking, he took out his phone and called Zhao Lu, asking for help in finding a place to settle Pei Donghu's family.
Pei Donghu's parents looked at each other but didn't dare to pack their things.
Song Henian gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Chao is right, Uncle and Aunt, living like this is not a solution at all, we must leave, only then can we have hope in life!"
After witnessing Wang Chao's strength, he regained hope for life.
Seeing Pei Donghu's family still in despair, he couldn't bear it any longer.
So, without waiting for Pei Donghu's family to react, he started packing their belongings.
"Brother Nian, are you crazy? We couldn't defeat them before, and now we have become useless. If we fight them again, it's suicide! It will only bring more trouble to your family."
Pei Donghu's expression changed dramatically, he hurriedly grabbed Song Henian's hand, pleading with red eyes, "Brother Nian, I beg you, this is all my fault, I should bear the punishment. Besides, I have already caused your family to go bankrupt, you can't become like me."
"Please, put down the things quickly."
He looked at Song Henian with guilt, tears streaming down his face, in immense pain.
Song Henian wanted to say something, but Wang Chao approached and directly knocked Pei Donghu unconscious with a palm.
Song Henian was startled.
"He is scared and has lost his fighting spirit. Even if he is conscious, he will be troublesome."
Wang Chao took a harsh drag from his cigarette and said, "Hurry up, pack your things. You support Uncle and Aunt, I'll carry him on my back."
After speaking, he walked out of the shed.
"Where are you going?" Song Henian asked.
"To deal with those lackeys." Wang Chao said.
Just as Song Henian was puzzled, suddenly, beams of light shone towards them.
Then, thirteen fierce-looking young men walked over with an imposing manner.
Seeing their arrival, both Song Henian and Pei Donghu's parents' faces changed drastically, filled with fear.
These people were the thugs who had trapped Pei Donghu's family on the mountain, and they were the nephews of Cui Hong, their leader.
Now these people had come looking for trouble, clearly looking for a fight.
At this moment, the leader of the group of young men had a ferocious expression, glaring at Wang Chao, "Kid, it won't be so easy for you to take him away!"
Wang Chao extinguished his cigarette and stared coldly at him, "Judging by your arrogant appearance, you must have beaten up my brother and his parents."
"I'll give you a chance. Get down on your knees, apologize to them, and maybe I'll spare your lives!"
