Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"Two little brothers, what are your names?!"

"My name is Shangwu, his name is..."

The boy opened his mouth to complete his answer but was quickly covered by another boy who looked similar.

He glared at Cheng Cheng warily, then lowered his head and said to the newspaper boy with a serious face: "Don't tell strangers your name. Daddy said that you can't say it casually."

Shangwu even has the same name, is it such a coincidence?

Cheng Cheng smiled when he heard that and looked at the two little boys gently.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person. I just think you look like my lost relatives, so I want to ask your names. Where do you live? Maybe I know your parents?"

However, this explanation seems unlikely to gain the boy's full trust.

He held the other boy's hand tightly and turned away.

The sudden running caused the boy selling the newspaper to lose his grip, and the newspaper was blown by the wind and scattered all over the ground.

"Ah! Brother! My newspaper!!!" The boy shouted and struggled to stop and catch the flying newspaper.

But the other boy did not stop. When he saw his brother was about to go back, he immediately bent down with some difficulty, held his belt and continued running.

Cheng Cheng wanted to chase after the two boys when they left, but she had something else to confirm and didn't have time to ask.

But then he saw the newspaper that made the boy sad fell to the ground, so he had to pick up the newspaper on the ground before chasing the person.

By the time all the newspapers were picked up, the two boys had disappeared.

She continued looking along the route they ran, asking passers-by about the whereabouts of the two boys, and walked through several streets before she found a house.

I went up and knocked on the door, and waited for a while before the door opened.

The person who opened the door was one of the boys who ran away just now. Cheng Cheng looked at him but couldn't recognize which one of the twins he was?

I could only say gently: "There is something I didn't explain clearly just now. My name is Tang Qiulan, and my father and two younger brothers are separated. My younger brother is also called Shangwu. I suspect you are my relatives."

Hearing the same surname, the boy loosened his grip on the door handle a little, but there was still some uneasiness in his eyes.

"What's your brother's name?"

Seeing that he was still doubtful, Cheng Cheng hurriedly explained: "My elder brother is Tang Hongwen and my younger brother is Tang Shangwu. My father's name is..."

Just as she was counting the names, the boy inside the door suddenly changed his expression and tears welled up in his eyes.

He opened the door, rushed out and hugged her tightly without even listening to her.

"Sister! I'm Hongwen, sister, you're finally back woooooo..."

When I felt the wetness on my chest, I knew that the child was crying hard, and the tears were flowing down her cheongsam.

If you don't stop, the wet marks on your clothes will get bigger and bigger.

She lifted the boy's face with both hands, smiled and said, "Okay, Hongwen, I'm so happy to find you. Come in and tell me in detail, how is Dad now?"

It was a very normal question, but it made the boy's face turn stiff.

Cheng Cheng was stunned when he saw this, and his heart sank.

"Hongwen, what happened to Dad?"

"Sister, come in with me."

Chengcheng clutched the newspaper and followed him in. After closing the door, she walked into the yard and saw a white-haired old man sitting on a stool.

She recognized it as Tang's father just by looking at his back!

I couldn't help but yell, "Dad!"

The man looked back and recognized her.

Shouted in surprise: "Qiulan! You are still alive!!!"

After shouting, I wasn't excited enough to stand up and go see her.

But he moved too hastily and almost fell to the ground. Shangwu, who was eating at the same stone table, quickly put down his chopsticks and came over to support him.

At this time, Chengcheng also realized something was wrong, so she handed the newspaper to Hongwen and walked over quickly to help him up.

"Dad, please sit down. What's wrong with your leg? You were fine when I left."

Father Tang was helped to sit down, looked at her, and waved his hand nonchalantly.

He looked at her again and hesitated to say, "Qiulan, your father is sorry for you. He sent you to the brothel without knowing the situation. You have suffered all these years."

A warm current surged in Cheng Cheng's heart. She patted Tang's father's hand and said, "Dad, it's not your fault. You had no choice at the time."

Tang Hongwen came over and handed the newspaper to the younger brother, and introduced the origin of Chengcheng to the younger brother who was still not aware of the situation.

Shangwu knew that it was his sister who saw it, and his eyes lit up. His sister was found.

He propped his chin up on the stone table, glanced at the person beside him and said, "Brother, I always thought that beautiful sister was a good person, but you insisted on running away with me."

"It's my fault. I'll buy you a candy man when I make more money this month."

"Really bro? I want a little pig with a blown-up belly."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

Tang Hongwen had just finished coaxing his younger brother when his father spoke.

"Hongwen, go get your sister some bowls and chopsticks, and sit down to have a simple meal together."

Cheng Cheng looked at the small amount of food on the table and smiled, saying, "Dad, I'm not hungry. Hong Wen doesn't need to go get it. I've already eaten before I came."

Seeing that she didn't pretend, Tang's father felt relieved and said, "How are you doing now? Have you left the brothel?"

Cheng Cheng nodded and explained that he was now the manager of Paramount.

"What is Paramount?"

Seeing that Mr. Tang didn't understand, Cheng Cheng explained it to him again.

Tang's father listened very carefully, discarding the bad parts and only talking about the good ones.

After saying these words, Chengcheng handed them the gifts she brought.

Father Tang looked at such an expensive gift but didn't dare to accept it, and felt a little heavy in his heart.

He understood that his daughter must have suffered a lot to be able to afford such generous gifts.

"Qiu Lan, can you leave Paramount and come back here to live with us? Can dad save up forty dollars to redeem you?!"

Cheng Cheng shook her head. She had come this far and even if she told the male protagonist that she wanted to leave, he would never let her go.

"Dad, I can't leave now, but I will definitely leave there in the future."

Father Tang sighed in his heart and said, "Dad is waiting for you, you must be careful and live well."

Cheng Cheng nodded, and then asked why Tang's father moved here and what he was doing now? !

When Tang's father talked about what happened after he sent her away, he realized that what the landlord said was one-sided and that some other things happened afterwards.

The whole area heard that his father sold his mother for forty dollars. After burying his mother's body, the creditors took the opportunity to increase the money owed to his father by 10% and asked for the money back.

His father also knew that he had two young sons and could not afford to offend so many people, so he had to give it to him.

After paying off the creditors, the landlord came again and asked her father for money because the furniture had been moved away and the rent. After her father paid the landlord, the house price nearly doubled. Seeing this, her father was of course unwilling to rent the house anymore.

He took his two younger brothers and moved away with the remaining money. He then rented a house here and did some hard labor to support his family.
