Taozi felt his heart soften when he heard his brother say these sensible words.

He was originally still hesitating whether to leave with Jiang Wan and the others, but now he has made up his mind.

"Yes, brother will not separate from you."

"Brother is going to go with uncle and aunt, are you coming too?"

Taozi didn't know whether his brother would agree, and he felt a little nervous when he asked this question.

"With my brother!"

"Wherever my brother goes, I'll go!"

Unexpectedly, his brother agreed without hesitation. Taozi touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you are willing to go with me. I am afraid that you will be reluctant to leave here."

Taozi forced a smile on his face, and Cheng Zewen also smiled.

"I just can't bear to leave my mother and brother. Now that my mother is gone, I will definitely follow my brother."

"I'm just afraid that my brother will dislike me and won't want to take me with him."

Cheng Zewen sounded a little sad when he said this, Taozi quickly patted him on the back and comforted him softly.

"How could that be? My brother always takes his younger brother with him wherever he goes. As long as his younger brother doesn't mind living a hard life with me, that's fine."

"I don't despise you, I don't despise you. It was my brother who saved me when I was about to die, and it was my brother who brought me home."

"Without my brother, I wouldn't be alive today. How could I possibly dislike him?"

"I just eat a lot and I can't work. I feel like a waste."

"Brother, why do you still want me when I'm such a loser? Wouldn't you be better off without me?"

Cheng Zewen is not stupid, he also knows his situation.

He escaped from the hospital and wandered outside.

He snatched food from dogs and rummaged through garbage dumps for food. He went to a store to beg but was beaten out.

He was just a stinky beggar who was unwanted by everyone and was despised wherever he went.

During that period, he survived with great difficulty thanks to his strong willpower.

Until he met Brother Taozi. He was so hungry that day that he fainted in front of Brother Taozi.

Usually no one would even look at him when he fainted. He would wake up on his own every time and continue to live his hard life.

But this time he didn't expect that Brother Taozi would actually take him back.

He fed him and gave him clean clothes.

Even though he himself had nothing to eat or wear, he never thought of throwing him out.

His health was very poor and he had been mostly bedridden ever since.

Later, after lying in bed for so long, he could hardly even walk.

He often needs to hold on to a wall or use crutches to walk with difficulty.

Sometimes he was in such a hurry that he couldn't find anything to lean on and would just crawl on the ground.

He often felt that he was living like a dog, and sometimes even thought evilly, how could a person like him still be alive? Why didn't he die?

Whenever he had this thought, Brother Taozi would stop him in time.

Brother Taozi always told him that he loved him very much and valued him as a younger brother.

Brother Taozi said that he couldn't live without him, otherwise he would die.

When Cheng Zewen first heard these words, he didn't quite believe them.

But later he found that Brother Taozi was really good to him and really didn't want him to get hurt.

Although he felt that life was meaningless, when he thought of what Brother Taozi had said, he decided to live for Brother Taozi.

So he has lived to this day, and although he looks sick, he has lived longer than his mother.

Cheng Zewen sighed softly and began to worry about the future.

He didn't know whether his uncle and aunt would like them or not? Would Taozi feel wronged if he went to their house?

He had many doubts in his mind, but he didn't dare to say them out loud.

Because it was my uncle and aunt who sent my mother to the hospital, and it was my uncle and aunt who paid for my mother's burial.

If it weren't for my uncles and aunts, my mother's body might have rotted and stank at home, and they wouldn't have been able to deal with it properly.

Since his brother wanted to go with them, he should follow too.

After all, he can't live without his brother. He goes wherever his brother goes. He is not saying this as a joke.

"Brother, uncle has prepared the meal, let's go eat together."

"Also, uncles and aunts are really nice people. Don't be so wary and relax when you're with them."

"Don't give them a cold shoulder. What if you scare them away?"

"Even if not for yourself, can you please think about your brother?"

"Unless you want your brother to be a beggar for the rest of his life and be bullied here forever."

Taozi was really touched this time, which is why he said so much.

This was the first time Cheng Zewen thought about this problem so seriously.

Although he is in poor health, he is not stupid.

Since his uncle and aunt are good people, and he doesn't want his brother to continue to be a beggar and be bullied, he should pretend to be a good boy and make his brother's life easier in the future.

As Cheng Zewen thought about this, he rubbed his face hard and forced a smile.

"Brother, is this okay for me now?"

"Okay! It looks great, keep it up."

Taozi took his brother's hand and went out to eat. Taozi's words were very effective. Cheng Zewen, who had just been very repulsive to them, not only had a smile on his face, but also became much more polite to them.

He kept calling his uncle "uncle", but Jiang Wan and Cheng Jinnian felt complicated.

They wanted to tell him about his life story, but were afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it.

In the end, I could only sigh, and I had no appetite even when eating.

The meal was very sumptuous, with both meat and vegetables. The two brothers were probably very hungry, as they wolfed down the food.

They haven't had white rice for a long time, let alone meat.

This meal is just an ordinary homely meal for Cheng Jinnian now.

But for the brothers, these are delicacies that they cannot even eat during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinnian had prepared and cooked some extra rice. The two brothers ate three bowls of rice each and still felt unsatisfied.

"Don't eat too much at once, or you'll upset your stomach."

"If you want to eat, you can eat it at the next meal. When you go back, whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you."

Jiang Wan didn't dare to call herself mother at the beginning, for fear of scaring them and making them afraid to go back with her.

The two brothers obediently put down their chopsticks. Although they felt a little regretful, they were actually full.

For them, this meal was like a buffet, and if Jiang Wan hadn't stopped them, they would have eaten three more bowls.

However, the consequence of doing so is that you will definitely feel uncomfortable at night because your stomach is too full.

Seeing how well-behaved they were, Jiang Wan gave each of them a handful of candy.

"Come on, although you can't eat too much food, auntie can treat you to candy."

Jiang Wan handed over the sparkling candy, and soon the two children's eyes also became sparkling.

They are all poor children. They have never eaten sweets in their lives, let alone eating so much at once.
