"Mom, where are you going? Do you want to call a taxi?"
Wang Chao caught up with Li Han and followed her like a bodyguard.
"No need, the place is very close." Li Han said.
The two walked together through the darkness and dimly lit streets.
Suddenly, Wang Chao realized that this road looked familiar. Wasn't it the road that led to his sister Wang Baozhu's rented room?
He looked at Li Han with a surprised expression.
As far as he knew, Wang Baozhu had not told her family about her divorce and renting a room. How did Li Han know where Wang Baozhu lived?
At that mont, Li Han turned around and said carefully to Wang Chao, "Walk more quietly, don't disturb anyone."
Wang Chao imdiately slowed down his steps, trying not to make any noise.
After Li Han had walked a little further, she made a gesture for Wang Chao to wait and said in a low voice, "Wait for here, I'll be right back."
Then, she tiptoed into a small alley, making no sound, and ca to Wang Baozhu's rented room. She carefully placed the money she had just gotten from the street vendor on the windowsill, covering it with a stone to make sure it wouldn't be taken by anyone else.
After doing all of this, she tiptoed back and looked back at the window. When she saw that Wang Baozhu had not noticed the money, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Chao's mind exploded and his eyes instantly turned red. He felt heartbroken.
It turned out that Li Han was the mysterious guardian that Huang Ying had ntioned.
His mother knew everything about his sister's situation.
Wang Chao tried to suppress his feelings and pretended to ask, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Li Han didn't explain anything but instead took Wang Chao far away before speaking, "The house earlier was rented by your sister. Didn't Yingying fall ill? I left the money for her."
"Mum, why didn't you give it directly to my sister? It's easy for soone else to take it from you like this," Wang Chao said.
Li Han sighed and said, "Your sister has always had a strong sense of self-esteem and is very proud. When she got married, she almost fell out with ."
"Now that she's not living well, how could she ask for help?"
"She'll only grit her teeth and persevere, she won't ask for help. If I don't do it this way, she definitely won't accept it."
"I just don't know if this money will be enough for her."
After speaking, Li Han took Wang Chao and quietly left, still full of worry.
Watching his mother's profile, Wang Chao felt a mix of emotions.
At that mont, he finally understood why Li Han didn't refuse the money at the roadside diner earlier.
His mother was still the sa mother as before, always taking care of each child so cautiously, afraid of hurting their self-esteem.
It was then that Wang Chao thought of his father Wang Anguo's video of pleading on his knees to help him find a job. His eyes beca even more red, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his face.
He turned his head and wiped his tears.
The love of parents for their children is truly pitiable!
They may not be powerful or capable, but they're willing to give everything for their children.
At that mont, Wang Chao made a firm decision to make sure his parents had comfortable lives in the future.
"It seems that being satisfied with being a security guard is not enough. I have to at least beco the head of security departnt. Gradually, I will make my parents accept my strength," Wang Chao thought.
If he becos the head, Wang Anguo would be very happy.
With this foundation, it would be easier for his parents to accept his greater achievents in the future.
The mother and son took a taxi ho. On the way, Li Han was extrely tired from working overti all night and fell asleep on Wang Chao's shoulder.
Wang Chao looked at his mother sleeping with her head resting on his shoulder. He gazed at her white hair and tired face, worn down by the struggles of life, feeling a deep sense of compassion.
Once upon a ti, he used to sleep like this, leaning on his mother's shoulder.
Without realizing it, his mother had aged and had beco dependent on him. Over the past eight years, she had endured so much hardship, while he was not there to support and protect her.
"Mom, sleep now. From now on, I am here for you."
Wang Chao gently brushed his mother's hair and hugged her, his eyes filled with tears.
When the taxi arrived near their ho, Wang Chao paid the fare and got off, leaving his mother still sleeping.
Without hesitation, he carried his mother on his back and walked towards their house.
As he carried her, he felt even more heartbroken. His mother was thinner and lighter than he had imagined.
When he arrived ho, Wang An Guo was still awake and heard the door open. He greeted them, but his expression changed when he saw Wang Chao carrying Li Han into the room.
"What happened? Is your mother okay? Why did you co back together?" he asked anxiously.
Wang Chao shook his head and explained, "Mom had to work overti tonight, so I went to pick her up. On the way back, she fell asleep, Dad, please keep your voice down and don't wake her up."
Wang An Guo was relieved and urged Wang Chao to take Li Han to rest in the room.
He looked at his son, carrying Li Han on his back, feeling a sense of contentnt.
The fact that his son was willing to carry Li Han ho indicated that he had grown up and learned to love and care for his parents.
It was a great feeling!
Wang An Guo's eyes welled up with tears. "This boy has grown up," he thought.
He quickly wiped away his tears, smiled with relief, and felt that his years of hard work had not been in vain.
After settling Li Han, Wang Chao walked out and asked, "Dad, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Wang Anguo wiped away his tears while carrying Wang Chao and then regained his previous cold expression. He said in a deep voice, "I'm just worried about you and your mother. You both went out at night and didn't co back until late."
"Okay, now that you're back, I'll go to bed too."
After saying that, he wiped his hands, washed up, and went back to his room to sleep.
Wang Chao noticed that there was residual oil stains on Wang Anguo's hands. This type of oil stain was from the oil used in bicycles or electric vehicles.
It could be seen that Wang Anguo had gone out to set up a stall and repair cars in the middle of the night.
When he was a child, Wang Anguo often took him to set up stalls and repair cars on the streets at night, sotis staying up all night. In the 1990s, repairing cars was very profitable, but Wang Chao didn't know if it was still profitable now.
The next day, Wang Chao woke up early, had breakfast, and even bought breakfast and lunch ingredients for his parents. He knew his parents had been busy the night before and were probably tired.
To let his parents rest a bit more, he put on an apron, walked into the kitchen, and began cooking.
When Li Han and Wang Anguo woke up and saw breakfast on the table and Wang Chao cooking in the kitchen, they looked at each other in surprise.
Wang Anguo felt very surprised, wiped his eyes, looked at the kitchen, then at Li Han, and asked, "This kid never used to enter the kitchen before. How did he beco a different person today?"
