Chapter 357: Brothers
"It's okay, I know."
Zhang Chen smiled at her and said with relief: "I came here to visit you and Sun Xiao, and it has nothing to do with him." ”
Before the words fell, a yin owl's voice suddenly sounded, "Oh? I don't know that someone came to my house in a hurry and said that it had nothing to do with me, what is the reason? ”
"Heh," Zhang Chen glanced at him, ignoring him.
Just at that glance just now, Zhang Chen already knew that Zhang Nianjun's life in the past few years should have been quite difficult, he should be unable to move, holding a cane in his hand, the torture of illness made him almost skinny, and he didn't seem to have any energy at all.
But seeing that he was not doing well, Zhang Chen was relieved.
Zhang Chen's disregard annoyed Zhang Nianjun, and he used the crutch in his hand to hit the pickle jar not far from him.
Because the vat used to pickle the pickles was quite sturdy, and he didn't have much strength in that appearance, the crutch hit it did not break the jar, only made a crisp sound of 'bang'.
This made Zhang Nianjun's face even more ugly.
Zhang Chen only thought that he was a rabid dog barking, and he didn't care at all, but the Wang family, who was standing next to him, shivered when he heard the sound.
This should be a reflex. It seems that even if he is terminally ill, Zhang Nianjun's status in this family is quite high!
Just as he was thinking about it, an angry immature voice sounded, "Brother Nianjun, why are you spilling your anger on my mother again?" ”
A thin young man of six or seven years old, with a somewhat sallow complexion, stepped forward quickly with a frown, and supported the trembling Wang. He carried a net bag in his hand, dripping water down, and judging by the slight movement, there should be fish in it.
Zhang Chen frowned, if he remembered correctly, Sun Xiao should be eight years old this year, right? Now that he is so thin, he is obviously malnourished.
How did Sun Zhou become a father?
Zhang Nianjun has only been back for more than three years, right? Could it be that in the past three years, he has only cared about Zhang Nianjun, and he has forgotten that he has another son? !
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't see it!" Zhang Nianjun snorted coldly, his expression was quite disapproving, "Besides, even if I really make fun of your mother, what can you do to me?" ”
"You!" The young man was angry, but he also knew that what he said was the truth, and when his father came back, even if he told his father everything, he would say that his eldest brother was sick, and he would give in to everything and let himself endure it.
Say anything all day long Brother Nianjun is unwell, let them endure it and pass, but after enduring it like this day by day, when will it be a head?!
Sun Xiao's brows were bruised, he stared at Zhang Nianjun angrily for a while, and finally hung his shoulders weakly, "Mother, I caught a few small fish on the other side of the pond, and you can just use it for boiling soup in a while." ”
"Hey!" Wang quickly regained her composure, she pointed to Zhang Chen and said to her son: "This is your brother Ah Chen, he bought you a lot of good things when you were a child, and he hugged you, remember?" ”
Sun Xiao only saw Zhang Chen now.
Just now, his whole body and mind were on his bullied mother, Zhang Chen stood there again and didn't speak, and when he heard Wang's introduction, he stretched his frowning eyebrows and showed a kind smile to Sun Xiao.
"It's really you, Brother Achen!" Sun Xiao's eyes lit up.
Although he has never seen this brother since he can remember, Sun Xiao knows from his mother and the people in the village that he is very good to him.
If it weren't for the fact that he confessed the wrong child later, he would have been his big brother all the time, right? Thinking of what his eldest brother Zhang Nianjun did, the little boy was even more bitter.
His little reaction had already been clearly seen by Zhang Nianjun, who had been staring at him. Because the admiration in his eyes was so strong, Zhang Nianjun couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
Although he had never taken this titular brother in his eyes, Zhang Nianjun couldn't help but be jealous and his eyes were red.
"Brother Ah Chen, Brother Ah Chen, he is quite affectionate, but he is the son of General Weilin, don't rush to climb relatives!"
His words made the young man pause in his steps, and then he lowered his head crampedly, "I, I ......"
"What are you? Don't say that you haven't seen me for a few years, and you forget my brother! Zhang Chen stepped forward and gently hit Sun Xiao in the chest with his fist, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, how could he not know what Zhang Nianjun was thinking?
It's nothing more than seeing Sun Xiao close to him, which makes him feel uncomfortable with his strong desire for exclusivity!
Not to mention that Zhang Chen originally liked Sun Xiao a lot, but at this moment, he was even more distressed because of his body, even if it was to anger Zhang Nianjun, he had to be close to Sun Xiao today!
"No, I haven't forgotten, I've always remembered Brother Ah Chen, and Sister Erniu." Zhang Chen was so enthusiastic, Sun Xiao was flattered and said. "And the things you brought over during the New Year's holiday, I remember them all."
"The second girl is your sister, and she should bring you something." Zhang Chen was embarrassed to admit this, but the things he brought over during the New Year and the festival were all from the second girl Zhang Luo.
Looking at the young man's simple face, Zhang Chen's heart swelled up with a trace of guilt for using him to take revenge on Zhang Nianjun, "Your second sister has been thinking about you, this time, more than half of the things were brought by her, come and see, see if you like it?" ”
"I like it, I don't pick it, I like everything~" Sun Xiao said stupidly.
"You're too thin, haven't you eaten well in the past few years?" Just now, Zhang Chen felt that all he touched under his hands were bones.
"Uh...... No, no~" What did he say? Could it be that in order to save the money for the eldest brother's medical treatment, the family has sold all the servant women he had bought, and he himself has not even eaten a full meal for several years?
"You take this silver yourself, buy some food for your family, don't be reluctant to eat, you must know that not having enough to eat will delay your growth, look at your small body, it seems to fall when the wind blows, don't say it's my brother!" couldn't help but take out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, and Zhang Chen stuffed it in Sun Xiao's hand.
It's not that he doesn't want to give more, but Zhang Chen knows that even if he gives him all the silver tickets he is carrying now, these two mothers and sons may not be able to keep it.
One hundred taels of silver is not worth mentioning the cost of Zhang Nianjun's illness, but if it is exchanged for food, it can make them eat for a long time.
"I know Brother Ah Chen, I will definitely eat well in the future and raise myself tall and strong. But I can't accept this silver, the family ......," Sun Xiao refused.
"This money is not for the family, it is for you to subsidize food for yourself! Let me know that you give the money to your father, and see that I don't cut you! ”
In order to prevent the one hundred taels of silver from falling into Zhang Nianjun's hands in the end, Zhang Chen was even coaxed and frightened, and tried his best. After the instructions, I was afraid that things would change, and I wondered if I should stay a little longer, and wait for Sun Zhou to come back and knock him?
