Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Choices_1

"Miaomiao! Aunt Guihua! Uncle Shen!" Nanzhi yelled before knocking the door.

In the silence, Shen Miaomiao heard Nanzhi’s voice and raised her head abruptly. Nanzhi’s arrival made her joyful between her face cleaning, "Mom, Sister Nanzhi is here!"

A flicker of delight crossed Aunt Guihua’s face, followed by some embarrassment.

Would they really let Nanzhi see them in their current state?

Aunt Guihua looked at Shen Zhong, who lowered his head, sighing heavily.

What had their family done wrong in their past lives to end up where they were now?

How had they become what they were now?

"Sister Nanzhi! How did you get here?" Shen Miaomiao quickly opened the door and was greeted by Nanzhi standing at the door, with Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng standing behind her.

"Miaomiao, are you guys okay?" Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Shen Miaomiao was unharmed. After all, as long as everyone was safe, everything was okay.

"Sister Nanzhi..." Shen Miaomiao seemed at a loss for words, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Sister Nanzhi, did you see Ms. Li just now?"

"I did," replied Nanzhi somewhat awkwardly, but nodded anyway.

"Alright then, come in."

Shen Miaomiao opened the door to let Nanzhi and the others enter.

As soon as Nanzhi entered the room, she felt a coldness at her back. Through her glance, she saw that the room was very small, only about twelve square meters, furnished only with a wooden bed and a few small stools.

Aunt Guihua and Uncle Shen were sitting to one side while a vague figure sat in the corner.

She didn’t need to guess; that figure was no doubt Shen Zhong.

"Aunt Guihua, Uncle Shen." As Nanzhi greeted them, a stifling smell hit the back of her throat, almost making her cry.

"Nanzhi..." Aunt Guihua paused, then spoke, "Can you do me a favor?"

Nanzhi was curious but Shen Miaomiao was shoving Nanzhi behind her back at once.

"Mom!"

The young girl stamped her foot, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Her brother was suffering the consequences of his own actions. How could they still... how could they still bother Sister Nanzhi?

"Miaomiao..." Uncle Shen, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke for his son.

"After all, he’s still your brother..."

Uncle Shen’s voice hadn’t changed much, but it sounded aged by more than a decade.

Shen Miaomiao, marked with stubbornness, stormed towards the exit, dragging Nanzhi behind her before Nanzhi could respond.

"Aunt Guihua, we’ll be off then," Lin Ercheng said awkwardly. Having just entered and left again, he began to feel a kind of embarrassment.

As soon as the two girls walked out of the small room, some blokes who had been eying the door were ready to approach. However, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were soon to follow. Realizing the danger outside, they hurriedly trailed the girls.

Seeing the men armed to the teeth trailing behind them, the blokes finally halted.

"Fatty, wait for us!" Lin Yicheng shouted, thumping across to shield the two girls.

It wasn’t until they were out of Liuhua Street that Shen Miaomiao’s face still held a look of anger.

Nanzhi knew she was troubled, so she led her to sit down in the tea house.

"Miaomiao, what was Aunt Guihua trying to tell us?" Nanzhi asked seriously. Aunt Guihua had always been very cautious around her and Miaomiao ever since they came to the restaurant, but now that she had asked for her help, it must be some big trouble.

Shen Miaomiao hesitated for a while, but eventually spoke: "Yes, it’s about my brother."

Nanzhi nodded, signaling her to continue.

"My brother, my brother and Ms. Li were separated from us. We all thought they were dead, but we never expected that they, they would have escaped."

It was a good thing to escape from those refugees, but Shen Miaomiao’s face was extremely ugly.

"They were originally captured, it was, it was my brother who gave Ms. Li as a gift to that villain, only then, then did they survive. They later tried to find places to settle down after escaping from the mountain bandit’s den. They’re, they’re surviving on this way of life..."

Shen Miaomiao’s face was full of shame and anger as she said these words.

Her own brother, actually forced his wife to sell her body to make a living!

"How could Ms. Li agree?" Nanzhi’s expression was complicated. Ms. Li shouldn’t have agreed to her husband’s demand...

"Ms. Li hasn’t been clear-headed since that day, my brother manages to control her this way. Relying on the money from Ms. Li’s clients, he got addicted to gambling and alcohol. His health deteriorated over the past two years. Even though there was only a month’s journey from Yan City, he only arrived three months ago."

As Shen Miaomiao said these words, she was gritting her teeth. She did not believe her brother didn’t know they were in Yan City. He clearly could have come directly to Yan City to find them after escaping from the mountain bandits, but instead he had done such a thing!

"What kind of help does Aunt Guihua want me to give?" Nanzhi roughly understood the situation of Shen Zhong and Ms. Li. She was just curious about what she could help with which would make Aunt Guihua ask.

"A few days ago, my brother had a conflict with a local ruffian and got his leg broken. Now, two months later, his leg has already healed crooked. My mother wants, wants you to help heal my brother’s leg..."

Shen Miaomiao’s hands were tightly clenched, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Forced his wife into prostitution, got his leg broken because of his alcoholism and gambling addiction, how could this person still be her brother?

And how could she let Sister Nanzhi help him!

Nanzhi was stunned, she didn’t expect Aunt Guihua to want her to help in this way.

She’s neither a physician nor a pharmacist, how could she help?

Shouldn’t they be seeking help from Wang Jingzhi if they need medical treatment?

"What, what can I actually help with?"

...

In the small yard, Aunt Guihua looked at her son who was neither alive nor dead, and her heart felt like it had been stabbed countless times.

Although she had long been estranged from this son, they still shared a mother and son relationship. Even if she was mad at him, she could not bear to see him in his current situation.

Shen Zhong’s looks were ordinary, and he usually appeared innocent, but now, his cheekbones protruded, his cheeks were hollow, and his eyes were turbid.

He looked like a walking corpse.

"Guihua..." Shen’s third husband struck the ground with his dry tobacco pipe.

"But he is our son!" Aunt Guihua knew her husband’s meaning. He just wanted her to give up the idea of seeking help from Nanzhi.

"That girl Nanzhi, how can she help our son? She just got lucky, didn’t she? We have some silver now, why not take him to Jingzhi for help, he may be able to heal."

He felt colder at the thought that his son had forced Ms. Li into prostitution.

Aunt Guihua’s heart ached. She initially intended to live separately from Shen Zhong once they had reached Yan City, but now...

Nowadays, even though their life has improved, and her son returned, he became a living Lazarus!

If Nanzhi could help him, maybe he would return to his old self!

"But she even came back from the dead!"
