Chapter 915: Chapter 788: An Unexpected Discovery

"You, you mean that Zhou Family?"

Lei Tianming looked at his shocked expression and smiled: "Yes, it’s quite unfortunate. Brother Xiao Wu is the son-in-law of that family."

"Damn Liang Guisun, now I’m doomed by that bastard."

Lei Tianming gestured for him to sit down: "Sit down and let’s talk. In fact, you don’t know today, but in a couple of days, Young Master Liang might have you keeping an eye on his family too."

Xu Dajun looked at him with a mix of tears and laughter: "Brother Xiao Wu always says he’s from a humble background, if he hadn’t gotten into university, he wouldn’t have made it to Beijing. I never thought he had such a significant background, or I would have sought his help a long time ago."

Lei Tianming touched his head: "Actually, it’s my fault for not telling you. Sister Jiao just gave birth to a pair of twins recently, and her belly was so big before that, you weren’t home, so I didn’t bring it up."

Xu Dajun began to quickly tidy up the things on the ground: "Stop drinking, hurry and take me to find Brother Xiao Wu, I don’t know how to find him. We need to quickly tell him about the Liang Family issues, that guy is not a good person."

Lei Tianming glanced at him, wanting to say that if you know he’s not a good person, why get involved? But then thought of Mao Hospital, and swallowed those words.

"Aren’t you worried the Liang Family will come after you?"

Xu Dajun paused, then shook his head: "We’ll see, without Brother Xiao Wu and you, we two brothers would have been dead already."

Lei Tianming didn’t say more, followed him to bring the items back home. The two of them went to the nearby post office where Lei Tianming made a phone call to Zhang Guoqing.

After setting a time, Lei Tianming took him to the small park near the Big Courtyard.

After a short wait, they saw Zhang Guoqing pedaling his bike from afar.

Lei Tianming got a little clever, "You haven’t had much contact with Brother Xiao Wu, just listen to me talk later, you watch from the side first."

"Why?"

"He’s here, just watch." Lei Tianming waved his hand forward.

Zhang Guoqing pedaled to them, smiled and said: "You still remember your brother, huh? By the way, Dajun, come over here, tell me, where have you been hanging out all year?"

"Brother Xiao Wu, I..."

Xu Dajun didn’t get to finish his sentence before Lei Tianming covered his mouth, "Brother, urgent matters. Dajun’s younger brother, Maotou, has liver cirrhosis. He’s been undergoing treatment, and now the doctor says he still needs penicillin."

Zhang Guoqing saw Lei Tianming giving him a look, then looked at the guilty-faced Xu Dajun. He couldn’t bother asking for the reason, so he got back on his bike: "How many vials? When your sister-in-law was giving birth, I prepared some. If there’s not enough, I’ll find a way."

Lei Tianming released Xu Dajun, still disdainfully wiping his hand with a handkerchief, joking: "See, my brother has a nickname in the underworld, ’Timely Rain’."

Xu Dajun reached out to grab the bicycle handlebars, looked at Zhang Guoqing: "Brother Xiao Wu, don’t rush back yet. I have something very important to tell you first." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Let’s go over there and talk, brother."

Zhang Guoqing looked at the two and nodded, pushing his bike to go with them to a nearby open space. "Speak, did you get into trouble? No one died, right?"

"How’s Sister Jiao now? Are the kids okay?"

Zhang Guoqing glared at him: "She’s your sister-in-law! They’re all fine. I’ve been quite busy lately, haven’t had a chance to visit your place. Tell Aunt that your sister-in-law really likes the tiger head shoes she prepared."

"See? I’ve told my mom that Sister Jiao would definitely like them."

Zhang Guoqing didn’t want to engage with this guy who couldn’t correct himself, and turned to Xu Dajun, "What could be more important than your little brother? Quickly, then I’ll go get the medicine."

Xu Dajun lowered his head and described how Young Master Liang contacted him, what he did at the old Jiangnan Gu Family estate, all he saw and heard until he returned today and learned everything from Lei Tianming.

"Brother Xiao Wu, I really didn’t know that was your family. Otherwise, no matter how much benefit I get, I wouldn’t go."

Zhang Guoqing wouldn’t blame him. The fact that he rushed over showed immense sincerity.

He smiled and patted Xu Dajun: "Thanks!"

"No, I can’t accept that." Xu Dajun, seeing his genuine expression of not blaming him, instantly relaxed, suggested: "Brother Xiao Wu, since he said he’d contact me in two days, I’ll just go undercover, to see what that bastard will do..."

Zhang Guoqing slapped his forehead: "Are you crazy? Don’t even think about it. Take care of your brother, listen to Tianming and go to work early."

Xu Dajun chuckled as he got slapped: "Brother Xiao Wu, I’m really okay..."

Zhang Guoqing glared at him: "Against that Liang Jiajun kid, you think I can’t handle it? This is the best time to get out of it easily, take my advice, don’t interfere. I know what’s going on, and if I need to find you, I won’t hesitate."

"Really?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Guoqing gave him a glance and smiled: "That kid’s crazy, talking nonsense about treasure. Let him dig, his family’s loaded, let’s see how he stirs up trouble."

Xu Dajun looked at Lei Tianming, saw him slightly shaking his head, and lowered his eyes: "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled hearing this, got back on his bike, and waved: "Wait here, I’ll be back soon."

Watching him leave, Lei Tianming put an arm around Xu Dajun’s shoulder: "Since Brother Xiao Wu said don’t interfere, come report to me tomorrow. Now the medicine’s here, I still have some money, once Maotou is discharged, life will get better."

Xu Dajun pondered for a while: "Okay, I’ll listen to you. But I’m planning to visit Brother Scar soon, he can mediate with Young Master Liang, and there might be backup plans. Plus, I need to tell him I’m going to work and can’t take on jobs."

Lei Tianming thought for a moment, "Alright. After sorting the procedures, go find Brother Scar, remember to take Heizi with you. Heizi’s grandma has been very kind to him."

The two considered finding Brother Scar to help Zhang Guoqing, but Zhang Guoqing doesn’t need it. As he pedaled back home, he cursed the Liang Family while planning to visit Brother Scar to have a good talk tonight.

He hadn’t seen him for so long that he suspected whether that old guy had forgotten who shamelessly cried "Brother Xiao Wu" back then.

If he hadn’t reached out to help then, where would that old guy’s bones be?

From home, he took a box of penicillin, and with Old Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Sun around, Zhang Guoqing couldn’t fully explain things to Zhou Jiao, he’d have to do so after handling matters.

When he returned to the small park, he didn’t mention going to the hospital. First, suddenly appearing in the ward might accidentally leak information; second, there are too many germs in the hospital, and his three kids are too young.

As he saw them off, Zhang Guoqing privately slipped Lei Tianming fifty yuan, signaling him to save it into Maotou’s hospital account. Since he was going to be kind, he might as well be generous.

Why should status matter among nobles and commoners? He always reminded himself not to look down on anyone. He remembered his father-in-law saying it was better to offer help in need than adding more to what was already complete.

With this money, at least, these two brothers can survive the current hardship. Even if Xu Dajun walks a path of an ordinary life, it would be worth it.

Having experienced orphan life without elder support, Zhang Guoqing understood better than anyone how hard it is to walk the right path. Especially when carrying the burden of an orphan.
