Chapter 548: Watching a play

Hearing her mother’s reminder, Bai Anyan agreed, “Don’t worry, mother, just leave these things to me.”

After working for an hour, the small yard was almost tidied up, and even the stove was repaired by him.

 Just add some pots and pans and you can get by.

"It's almost done. It's getting late. Let's go home." Baiyunxi glanced at the sky and called the two of them to go home.

As soon as the few people reached the official road, they saw a group of people running happily towards the town. Behind them, two teenagers who had difficulty walking fell.

 Because I was running slowly and couldn’t keep up, I was constantly being urged by the people in front of me.

“Sanwazi, hurry up and sign up quickly. If you’re late, you have to wait until tomorrow.”

“Third uncle, I know I’m really out of energy. Let me take a breather.”

The person who spoke was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very skinny and was being supported by a child of eight or nine years old.

“Third uncle, my brother has not recovered from his illness and cannot run fast,” the child gasped, his eyes full of worry.

"You two have a lot to do. The government has posted notices that the war is over and we are encouraged to return to our hometowns. Anyone who signs up in advance can receive travel expenses on a first-come, first-served basis. If someone else takes all the money, won't we be blinded?"

“That is, when the critical moment comes, your brothers will hold back.”

Hearing the complaints from several people, the child blushed and yelled,

"You still have the nerve to say, why is my brother sick? The third uncle said that a family should help each other, respect the elderly and love the young. My brother gave you all the money he earned. Now my brother is tired and sick, but you say If you don’t have money for medical treatment, don’t you feel guilty?”

The man who was called the third uncle, when he heard the child’s complaints, his face tightened and he took a deep breath.

“Sir, the third uncle really has no money. Your brother has made money, but with so many people to eat, he really can’t survive.”

“Hmph, we all have hands and feet, so why should my brother be the only one working to support you?”

“You kid, what you said is true, but we are not familiar with the place here. If someone goes out to do work, someone must stay behind. Otherwise, if something happens to the old, weak, women and children in this family, what will happen if something happens?”

"I don't believe your nonsense. Even if we divide the work, we have to take turns to stay and work, instead of just letting my brother do it alone."

 The child stared at them with red eyes, full of resentment.

“You just bullied us into losing our parents, and you did it on purpose.”

"You bastard, why are you talking to your third uncle? It's not us who left you without parents. If we hadn't taken care of you all the way, you would have starved to death."

“Even if your brother could work, if you thought he could protect a little kid like you, he might have been beaten to death long ago.”

 “You ignorant wolf cub!”

 “Okay, don’t make any noise.”

With a scolding, the third uncle looked at the two brothers behind him with a serious face and sighed.

“Sanwazi, we are fleeing the famine and are suffering. We are lucky if we can make a living without dying of hunger. We really have no money for medical treatment.”

Sanwazi blushed and pursed his lips. He held his brother's hand and shook his head at him. He took a few more breaths before speaking.

“Third uncle, I know it’s my fault, and the fourth son is also worried about me. Our parents are gone, and it is the third uncle who takes care of our brothers. The third son is grateful in his heart.”

"It's good to know. The third uncle is also worried when you are sick, but in this world, there is nothing we can do." As he said this, the third uncle looked at the sky.

“How about this, you brothers, walk slowly, we’ll sign up first, then we’ll wait for you at the roadside, and then we’ll set off together?”
