Love That Extends Life

Chapter 12 I Want a Brother

Next, Chu Yunhao chatted with the landlord couple for a while.

The landlord is Wang Weimin, 68 years old this year. He was a primary school teacher before retirement. His wife is Li Fang, who retired from a state-owned unit many years ago. She suffers from three highs, so her health is not very good. The old couple has three children: the eldest daughter, Wang Yuqin, is a middle school Chinese teacher; the second daughter, Wang Yuqi, works at the bus station; and the youngest child is a son, named Wang Yushu, who failed to get into college because of poor academic performance and is now a taxi driver.

After chatting for a while, Chu Yunhao felt very tired, so he said goodbye to the landlord couple and returned to the rented house.

Chu Yunhao simply tidied himself up on the big bed and then lay down to sleep.

In the morning, Chu Yunhao woke up.

Chu Yunhao sat up. Since he didn't know the time, he looked out the window. It seemed to be less than six o'clock.

He had a very comfortable sleep at night when he realized he needed to go to the bathroom.

Chu Yunhao came out of the bathroom and suddenly didn’t know what to do.

At first, life was carefree. I could go to the sports venue in the morning to exercise. Although my body did not allow me to do strenuous exercise like running, I would take a walk every morning.

Now because of the recurrence of my hidden illness, I have left home and started a new life. The hidden illness may accompany me for a long time, so I don’t know where my future will go.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you have decided to leave this home and travel alone, then bravely embrace a new life! But the most urgent thing right now is to find a job to make a living..."

Having made up his mind, Chu Yunhao felt much relieved.

Walking back and passing by Wu Yanzi's rented house, Chu Yunhao saw that the door was not locked, so he walked up and knocked.

"Who is it?" Wu Yanzi's voice came from the room.

As soon as the door opened, a cry of surprise was heard: "Ah! Why is it you? Why are you back?"

Chu Yunhao smiled and said, "I live here now!"

Wu Yanzi asked with a puzzled look on her face: "You live here?"

"Sister Yan Zi, come in and talk slowly." Chu Yunhao said as he flashed into the house.

"you……"

Wu Yanzi looked at Chu Yunhao entering her room and felt a little dissatisfied, but her mentality instantly became calm again.

In fact, Wu Yanzi was still very worried about Chu Yunhao that night. If Chu Yunhao had insisted a little longer, she might have kept him. When Chu Yunhao left for more than ten minutes, she still opened the door and went out to look for him, but she didn't find Chu Yunhao.

How would a penniless person spend the night?

Wu Yanzi was very happy when she opened the door and saw Chu Yunhao just now, but she looked cold on the outside but felt hot on the inside when she was talking to Chu Yunhao.

In the room, Chu Yunhao saw many unfinished small ornaments on Wu Yanzi's bed. At this time, he realized that Wu Yanzi had been weaving various small ornaments in the morning.

Without waiting for Wu Yanzi to ask any questions, Chu Yunhao took the initiative to tell Wu Yanzi about his experience of renting a house from the landlord.

"Why rent such an expensive house?" Wu Yanzi said dissatisfiedly.

Chu Yunhao scratched his head and explained a little embarrassedly: "I, I just wanted to be closer to you. The tenant of the landlord's house moved out last night, and this room was vacant, so I rented it quickly."

"But how are you going to pay for such an expensive rent?"

"Sister Yan Zi, I will find a way to solve this problem."

"Do you have a solution? How do you solve it?"

"I'm thinking of a way. Anyway, I will pay the rent in half a month. A man should keep his word."

"Okay, you figure it out yourself!"

The two discussed the expensive rent, and in the end Wu Yanzi stopped arguing and decided to wait and see how Chu Yunhao would solve the problem.

Wu Yanzi continued to weave small ornaments, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Sister Yan Zi, I'll go out for a walk and see if there's any work to do."

Chu Yunhao stood up from the small plastic stool and was about to leave the room.

"Brother Chu, you are very weak. Some high-intensity work is not good for your health. I think it is better for you to rest at home. When you are better, there is no need to rush to work. If you are not healthy, what is the point of earning more money?"

At this time, Wu Yanzi stopped what she was doing and began to persuade Chu Yunhao.

After hearing Wu Yanzi's words, Chu Yunhao instantly felt warm in his heart. Perhaps the person who understood Chu Yunhao the best at this time was Wu Yanzi.

"Sister Yan Zi, what you said is the truth, I understand. But I want to go out and see if there is any job that is light and comfortable. I can't do tiring work." Chu Yunhao explained.

"Brother Chu, there is no such thing as an easy and comfortable job. We are all ordinary people, so all we can do is low-level work." Wu Yanzi said and shook her head, because this was also her experience and feeling.

"Then I, a grown man, can't just stay at home!"

"Brother Chu, since you treat me as your sister, you should take care of your health first. As for the rent, I will find a way to borrow some money and give it to the landlord. You can pay me back slowly in the future."

"Sister Yan Zi, how can this be possible! I said I would find a way to solve it myself."

"Brother Chu, pay me back when you start working and earn money."

"Sister Yan Zi, I..."

"Okay, Brother Chu, you haven't had breakfast yet." Wu Yanzi said as she took out twenty yuan from her pocket and put it in Chu Yunhao's hand. "Brother Chu, there's a mobile vendor selling fried dough sticks and soy milk outside, go buy some. By the way, I've already eaten this morning, and then I was busy knitting these, and I'll have to set up a stall at the night market in the afternoon."

Chu Yunhao unconsciously took the twenty yuan. He really needed the money at this time.

"Thank you, Sister Yanzi." Chu Yunhao touched the money in his hand, but his heart was churning. "I fainted yesterday, and you saved me. I owe you a great favor. Originally... Originally I followed you... I thought..."

"Brother Chu, I think you are a real person, so I recognize you as my elder brother. My parents died early and I don't have a brother, so I want to have a brother."

"Sister Yan Zi, thank you for treating me like a big brother."

Chu Yunhao wanted to say something from his heart, but when he thought about his penniless self, he stopped.

"Sister Yan Zi, I'm going out now."

Chu Yunhao took the money and left Wu Yanzi's rented house.

There were indeed mobile breakfast carts on the street outside the mansion, selling fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Chu Yunhao was really hungry, so he bought some fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Chu Yunhao found a place to sit down and started eating the fried dough sticks and sipping soy milk through a straw. At this time, he was also thinking about his next plan.

You must find a job, and then when you are free, you have to go to the night market to help your sister Yan Zi. This is your responsibility as an older brother.

He once promised to protect Sister Yan Zi from the wind and rain, and this is his unchanging obsession in this life.
