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

Chapter 259 Prequel 4

The next morning, Shen Yanfeng got up even earlier. He planned to pick up some waste to sell, perhaps to increase his income.

After getting up, he prepared the meal that Shen Jun was going to eat today and placed it beside the bed.

He would prepare meals in advance every day so Shen Jun could just heat them up and eat when he woke up.

The room was still a little cold, so Shen Yanfeng had to take off one of the few clothes he had on and cover the quilt that Shen Jun was wrapped tightly in.

This quilt was bought by Shen Yanfeng not long ago. It is too cold in winter and he cannot live without a quilt.

The wind and snow hit Shen Yanfeng's body, but he seemed to have gotten used to it and walked forward without any feeling.

Fortunately, I can still pick up some used bottles and cardboards on the roadside. Although there are not many, and I have to risk being beaten up by other homeless people, but as long as I have money, it's fine.

In the cold winter, very few people are willing to go out, but Shen Yanfeng is an exception, so he always picks up more bottles than others.

After a whole winter, Shen Yanfeng finally saved up a full two thousand yuan.

Although it wasn't a lot, it was enough for Shen Jun to go to school first.

On his way home after selling scrap again, Shen Yanfeng ran into Shen Jun, who was walking towards the scrap station with his head down, carrying a pile of scrap bottles.

The blood in my body froze almost instantly.

Shen Yanfeng hurriedly ran forward and snatched the bag of waste from Shen Jun.

Shen Jun's first reaction when he saw Shen Yanfeng was to smile, but the expression on his brother's face didn't seem very happy.

"Who told you to pick up trash? Why don't you just stay at home?"

Shen Yanfeng looked at Shen Jun's dirty little face and couldn't help but speak in a serious tone.

Shen Jun lowered his head, looking like he was accepting the punishment for doing something wrong.

"I see you go there every day, it's too hard... so I want to help you share some of the burden."

Shen Jun pinched the corner of his clothes, crumpling the fabric.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Yanfeng couldn't bring himself to scold him anymore. He could only hug him in his arms and sighed deeply.

Shen Jun sold the bottle he picked up for fifteen yuan, and Shen Yanfeng used the fifteen yuan to buy sausages and popcorn for Shen Jun.

The two of them squeezed in front of a busy stall and shared a one-dollar sausage.

It was originally three yuan per stick, but the boss felt sorry for them and sold it to one yuan per stick.

This was Shen Yanfeng’s first time eating grilled sausage. He only took a small bite and said he couldn’t eat it, and gave the rest to Shen Jun.

Seeing Shen Jun eating with such satisfaction on his face, Shen Yanfeng secretly decided to save some money every week to buy grilled sausages for Shen Jun.

After eating, the two of them walked hand in hand back to their shabby little home in the afterglow of the setting sun.

But before going to bed, Shen Yanfeng still had a serious talk with Shen Jun about not allowing him to pick up trash privately anymore.

Shen Yanfeng said that it was very dangerous outside and Shen Jun was still young. What if he went out and was taken away by bad guys, and Shen Yanfeng couldn't find him when he came back?

Shen Yanfeng spoke seriously, but Shen Jun asked back: "Brother, aren't you much older than me?"

With just one sentence, Shen Yanfeng didn't know how to respond.

Yes, if you really count it, Shen Yanfeng is only less than four years older than Shen Jun, and he is obviously still a child.

But later, Shen Yanfeng still repeatedly ordered Shen Jun not to go out, and picking up garbage was even more forbidden.

Shen Yanfeng said that even if he starved to death, he would not let Shen Jun suffer any grievance, as long as Shen Jun was by his side.

Although Shen Jun didn't quite understand, he nodded silently when he saw Shen Yanfeng's serious face.

Life returned to normal. Shen Yanfeng still went out early and came back late, spending every penny carefully.

No matter how hard life was, Shen Yanfeng never treated Shen Jun badly.

But what he didn't know was that Shen Jun still carried him on his back to pick up bottles to buy after he left every day.

Although it’s not much, it can still be one or two dollars a day.

Shen Jun carefully put the money into his pocket, thinking that he would give it all to his brother when he had saved enough.

This way his brother wouldn't have to wash dishes every day until his hands were broken and then hide it from his father.

After selling the things, Shen Jun took the money and went home as usual, but for some reason, he always felt a strange feeling today.

When he was almost home, someone suddenly covered Shen Jun's mouth and nose.

In a hurry, Shen Jun raised his leg and kicked the person behind him, and at the same time opened his mouth and bit the person's palm viciously.

The intense pain caused the person behind him to loosen his hand, and Shen Jun seized the opportunity to break free from the restraints and ran away.

He remembered that Shen Yanfeng once told him that if he encountered danger, he should run along the main road to the end of the road, turn left into the alley, and climb over a wall at the end of the alley to reach Shen Yanfeng's workplace.

Shen Jun has been there twice, but he doesn't remember the route very clearly.

The people behind him were chasing him closely, so Shen Jun had no choice but to run and shout loudly, trying to attract the attention of the kind people around him.

The good news is that there really was a kind-hearted person who noticed the commotion here. The bad news is that the kind-hearted person not only helped him drive away the bad guys but also insisted on sending him to the police station.

Shen Jun struggled and didn't want to go, but a kind-hearted person had already called the police, and the police soon arrived.

When he was taken back to the police station, Shen Jun was still struggling. No matter how the police asked, they could not find out where Shen Jun's family was.

When asked where he lived, Shen Jun kept his mouth shut.

He was looking for an opportunity to run away. As long as he left here, he could meet his brother.

But his every move was closely monitored, and he couldn't escape no matter what.

As the sky outside grew darker, Shen Jun became more and more panicked, as his brother should be off work by now.

His brother would be sad if he didn't see him when he came home.

He also heard the police say they were trying to contact his family...

Shen Jun became even more nervous, as his family had long since abandoned him... He had no family, only his brother.

Shen Jun began to feel anxious, but he had no way of leaving.

So he had no choice but to raise his hand, intending to tell the police where he lived, but the police said they had contacted his family.

Just as Shen Jun worried, Shen Yanfeng almost went crazy when he returned home and didn't see Shen Jun.

He searched every possible place around him, and finally found the amulet that Shen Jun was carrying on the side of the road.

For a moment, Shen Yanfeng's mind went blank.

Fortunately, a few people passing by were discussing an incident that happened here today where human traffickers failed to kidnap a person.

Shen Yanfeng quickly extracted the key words from it, so he rushed towards the police station regardless of anything, and did not stop even if he bumped into people along the way.

When he arrived at the police station, Shen Yanfeng immediately saw Shen Jun sitting inside waiting obediently.

Shen Yanfeng finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to step in, a car stopped behind him.

For some unknown reason, Shen Yanfeng looked back.

After just one glance, Shen Yanfeng was stunned.

Shen Yanfeng remembered these two white-haired old men clearly.

It’s the photo in his hand, the one inside the amulet, of Shen Jun’s grandparents.
