Shen Jinzhen told her the location of the Shen Mansion, and Tu Ergou followed her there without carrying anyone on his back.

When they were almost home, Wei Ruolai saw two people following Shen Jinzhen from afar. Fearing that she was in danger, he immediately came out of the house to greet her.

"Jin Zhen, the person behind you is——"

He glanced at Tu Ergou, but didn't recognize him. He looked unfamiliar and there was some alertness in his expression.

When Shen Tunan heard Wei Ruolai's voice at the beginning, he stopped talking and simply pretended to be a dead body.

"I hired him to do me a favor."

As Shen Jinzhen was about to take his brother from Tu Ergou, the other party asked for money first.

"You have to hand over the money and the person at the same time. I just calculated that his meal fee is three silver dollars. The one silver dollar you gave to that old man before cannot be counted in."

Tu Ergou made it clear that she would not let Shen Jinzhen default on his debt. She did not have much money on her, so she reached out to Wei Ruolai helplessly.

Wei Ruolai took out three silver dollars from his arms and placed them in Jinzhen's palm.

"Spend less, there's not much left at home."

He gave the instructions in a gentle tone, but this sentence was actually spoken to the strange man in front of him. He had just noticed a flash of greed in the other's eyes.

"Okay, I know."

Shen Jinzhen understood and cooperated, and at the same time reached out to take Shen Tunan.

When Wei Ruolai saw this, he hurried over to help.

Shen Tunan didn't say anything, but lowered his head, with his hair covering his face, and didn't let Wei Ruolai see his appearance.

"Be careful, your legs...are not good."

Shen Jinzhen was afraid that what he said would upset his brother, so he was very tactful when he reminded Wei Ru to come.

Wei Ruolai felt a little strange, but he still listened to Jinzhen's words and helped the person walk into the house.

Tu Ergou followed him in.

"Why are you still following?"

Realizing the situation behind him, Shen Jinzhen turned around and asked.

"You promised me a full meal, you can't go back on your word, right?"

This was just agreed upon between the two of them.

"Okay, just wait."

Shen Jinzhen walked into the house and took out some cakes from the kitchen. Although they were a little cold, they were food after all. Tu Ergou didn't dislike them when he saw them. He took them and sat down on the spot to eat them voraciously.

Seeing him eating, Shen Jinzhen went back into the house to take care of his brother.

Shen Tunan didn't say anything after he came in. Wei Ruolai originally wanted to carry him to the sofa to make him more comfortable, but the man in front of him pointed to the ground, as if he didn't want to dirty the sofa.

Wei Ruolai didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he felt uncomfortable lying on the ground. This person looked very thin and seemed to be sick, so it was not good for him to lie on the ground.

"You'd better sit on the sofa. You are the one my wife brought back. You are a guest. It would be wrong of me to let you sit on the floor."

As he spoke, he led the person to the sofa. This time, the other person sat quietly and didn't say much.

Shen Jinzhen came over from outside and saw his brother sitting on the sofa. He rushed over and poured a glass of water and half-knelt in front of Shen Tunan, "Drink something to moisten your throat."

Wei Ruolai didn't understand at first, and he had never seen Jin Zhen get close to any common people. But when he saw her eyes red and she carefully handed him the cup, an answer flashed in his mind.

"Is it brother?"

He asked Jin Zhen, and when he got a positive answer, his eyes also turned red.

Shen Tunan didn't look at the two of them, but took the cup from Jinzhen's hand, drank it in two big gulps, and handed it back.

"Brother, I'll serve you some more."
