Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

Chapter 258 Prequel 3

The two waited day after day, but Shen Jun's family never showed up.

The gardenia at the entrance of the village had bloomed twice, and Shen Jun finally stopped waiting there.

That night, he hugged Shen Yanfeng and cried for a long time, and most of his pillow was wet.

Shen Jun said that his family didn't want him anymore, they abandoned him forever, and he became an unwanted child.

Shen Jun cried and cried, then wiped his tears and said viciously that if they didn't want it, he wouldn't want them either.

It was Shen Jun who didn't want them anymore.

Shen Jun hid in Shen Yanfeng's arms and kept repeating this sentence, but there were more tears in his eyes than at the beginning.

The bean-sized pearls hit Shen Yanfeng's arm with a "pa pa" sound, and they were a little hot.

Shen Yanfeng had no choice but to pat Shen Jun on the back and coax him softly: "You are not an unwanted child, you still have your brother... As long as you are willing, your brother will be your family in the future."

Shen Jun burst into sobs, and Shen Yanfeng had no choice but to pat his back gently.

Shen Jun at that time was really thin and small. He was no longer like the pink, round and cute boy he was when Shen Yanfeng first saw him.

How could he be so thin? Shen Yanfeng thought, he would give half of his meal to Shen Jun every day.

He was still growing and always had to eat more, but always eating from the village chief's house was not a long-term solution, so Shen Yanfeng could only give half of his share to Shen Jun.

I ate a lot, but I still didn't gain any weight.

Shen Yanfeng sighed softly and hugged Shen Jun tighter.

It was also on that night that Shen Jun called him brother for the first time.

Before, Shen Jun was always reluctant to call Shen Yanfeng "brother", because he was afraid that if he did so, he would really have to stay here forever and be Shen Yanfeng's younger brother.

Children's minds are always pure.

But Shen Yanfeng didn't care much about these things, and he had no objection if Shen Jun didn't want to call him.

But...that night, when Shen Jun called Shen Yanfeng "brother" for the first time, Shen Yanfeng was so excited that he kept his eyes open until dawn.

From that day on... he finally had a family, a younger brother, and someone to care about.

He is no longer an orphan. Now he has Shen Jun, a younger brother.

But the good times did not last long. The children of the village chief found out that the old couple had picked up two children and brought them home to raise, and they refused to let them raise them no matter what.

That day, all the village chief's sons and daughters who were away from home came back.

The village chief locked him and Shen Jun in the room and wouldn't let them out.

Shen Yanfeng still remembers that it was a sunny day. The sun was hanging high above his head, emitting scorching heat. Even hiding in the room, it was still hot.

"Brother," Shen Jun pulled at Shen Yanfeng's sleeves, sweating profusely, "They seem to have started a quarrel... Will we be homeless again?"

Shen Yanfeng gently waved the fan in his hand to cool Shen Jun down, "No, even if they don't want us anymore, I still want you. If you call me brother, I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Many years later, Shen Jun still remembered what Shen Yanfeng said to him that day, "Home is where I am."

The adults were arguing fiercely. Shen Yanfeng heard the sound of scattered things and the heart-wrenching cries of the village chief's wife.

Fortunately, he had coaxed Shen Jun to sleep.

Looking at Shen Jun who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Shen Yanfeng made a bold decision.

In the middle of the night, he gently woke up Shen Jun who was sleeping.

Shen Jun was sleeping in a daze and had not yet woken up. He only knew that Shen Yanfeng asked him if he was willing to go with him.

In the darkness, the two children looked at each other, but Shen Yanfeng's eyes were frighteningly bright.

Shen Jun looked into Shen Yanfeng's eyes and nodded in confusion.

So, taking advantage of the night, Shen Yanfeng set off with his only family member named Li.

Before leaving, he took Shen Jun to kowtow three times towards the room of the village head and his wife in the yard.

The next morning, the village chief went to look for the two children as usual, but only found a crumpled twenty-yuan bill under the pillow.

The mountain road is difficult to walk on, Shen Yanfeng has always known this, so when Shen Jun can't walk anymore, Shen Yanfeng carries him on his back.

But most of the time he carried Shen Jun on his back.

He used to take this road when he herded cattle and had long been accustomed to it.

Fortunately, the road from the village to the town is not very far.

Shen Yanfeng carried Shen Jun on his back and walked from night to day, and then from day to dark, and they saw the road leading into the town.

Fortunately, there are some wild fruits on the road. When you are hungry, you can pick them and eat them. They can quench your thirst and fill your stomach.

When they arrived in the town, they had no money to stay in a hotel, so Shen Yanfeng and Shen Jun found a few cardboard boxes next to a trash can and barely stayed there for the night.

The next day, Shen Jun's stomach growled before he even woke up.

But they didn't have a penny on them, and Shen Yanfeng suddenly regretted bringing Shen Jun out.

If Shen Jun hadn't followed me, at least he would have had enough food and warm clothes.

Shen Yanfeng began to look for a job everywhere, but he was too young and no one was willing to hire him.

Occasionally, he would meet a few kind shop owners who would give some food to Shen Yanfeng.

Every time this time came, Shen Yanfeng would stay in the store and help with the work for a day, even if he didn't have to pay.

He took the food back and gave it to Shen Jun.

They found an abandoned old house that looked like it had been abandoned for many years, right at the edge of town.

Shen Yanfeng cleared out a corner and built a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and let Shen Jun sleep inside.

Shen Yanfeng was diligent and capable, and was eventually taken in by a kind boss.

Although the daily salary was not much, only sixty yuan, Shen Yanfeng was still very grateful to his boss.

He goes out early and comes back late every day. Because he washes dishes in the store, Shen Yanfeng's hands always become rotten after being soaked for a whole day.

But he hid it very well and Shen Jun never found out.

After a while, Shen Yanfeng saw that children of similar age to Shen Jun were going to school, so he wanted to send Shen Jun there too.

But no matter how many times I counted the money in my hand, it was still not enough.

There was only one candle lit in the dim, abandoned house.

Shen Yanfeng was counting the money, thinking about doing something else tomorrow.

The candlelight flickered, Shen Yanfeng held the money in his hand, but his thoughts drifted far away.

Shen Yanfeng felt an itch in the palm of his hand, and when he looked down, he found that it was Shen Jun who was pulling his hand.

"Brother," Shen Jun looked into Shen Yanfeng's eyes, "I don't want to go to school. I just want to stay with you."

Shen Yanfeng smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand and stroked Shen Jun's furry head.

"Silly, how can you not go to school? People of this age have to go to school."

"But we don't have that much money. If I go to school, you'll be the only one left at home. You'll be scared."

As Shen Jun spoke, he snuggled into Shen Yanfeng's arms again.

The house's insulation is not very good. It was still summer when they left the village, but now it is already winter.

The cold wind was blowing violently outside, and the only source of heat in the house was the candlelight in front of him.

Fortunately, the two of them could barely get through this cold winter night by hugging each other tightly.
