The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (Part 1)

Not far from the village entrance, when Song Ning ran there breathlessly, he saw a BMW parked at the dilapidated intersection.

There had never been such a nice car in their small place, and Song Ning's hurried pace gradually slowed down.

Because he saw Ergouzi was smiling happily and talking to the woman standing in front of him. The rings on the lady's fingers sparkled every time she moved, and the gold necklace on her neck looked very noble.

They really are a wealthy couple, not scammers or kidnappers.

Song Ning walked closer with difficulty, and Ergouzi's voice just reached his ears.

"Are you really my biological parents? Great, I was saying that Song Ning and I are so different, how could he really be my brother? I'm so smart that I can easily get into a top university, but he couldn't even finish high school, how could he really be my biological brother? So that's how it is. Are you here today to take me home?"

Holding on to a glimmer of expectation, my heart felt like it was falling into an icy cave.

Song Ning couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of Ergou, the boy he raised himself.

Why couldn't he finish high school?

That was because his parents suddenly had an accident when he was in the first year of high school. He had to be busy dealing with their funeral affairs, and also take care of Ergouzi who was still in the third year of junior high school.

He was unable to take care of everything and was worried that his family would not be able to make ends meet, so even with some compensation from his parents, he still resolutely decided to drop out of school and let Ergouzi continue to go to school. Later, he opened this small breakfast shop with the help of neighbors.

He calculated that although he could only save 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year now, it was more than enough to support Ergouzi's college education. Once Ergouzi graduated, he would be able to relax and consider starting a family.

but now?

Song Ning's lips trembled slightly and he didn't walk over.

Just because he didn't go over there doesn't mean other people didn't notice him.

Song had seen this young man a long time ago. She noticed his washed-out shirt at a glance and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.

However, she quickly guessed the young man's identity from his expression, but Song did not intend to recognize him directly.

She and her husband heard the news in such a hurry this time that she didn't even have time to change her jewelry and clothes, let alone drive such a nice car.

According to her son, his so-called brother is an unlearned man. What if she reveals his identity and the other party goes after them? She doesn't want to mess with these little hooligans! These unlearned hooligans are blood-sucking leeches!

Song rolled her eyes and coaxed her son.

"Of course, we drove here to pick you up. Do you have anything you don't want to take with you? Otherwise, why don't you just come home with us? You know where we live in Bihai Garden in S City? It will take five or six hours to get there. If the item is not important, we can go there and mom will buy it for you. How about that?"

S City? Bihai Garden?

When Er Gouzi heard this, he immediately became excited. Of course he had heard of that community. He heard that the houses there were the most expensive in S City, with one house costing tens of millions!

That’s tens of millions!

He glanced at the BMW-logoed car in front of him again and shook his head with admiration.

"I don't have anything I'm reluctant to give up. I just want to return to my biological parents as soon as possible."

Song Ning felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

Did Er Gouzi have no feelings for him and this family? Was the friendship of the past 18 years all fake?

He clenched his fists, his chest felt like there was a huge stone, and his throat wanted to make a sound but he swallowed it back.

Song Ning just stood there quietly, watching Ergouzi get into the BMW with an admiring smile.

The car started up, creating a cloud of dust that blinded Song Ning, and the car disappeared from his sight.

Gone, his brother is gone.

After a long time, Song Ning turned around little by little, stiffly.

Ergouzi is gone, so what should he do next?

"Hey, isn't this Song Ning? How come..."

"Shh, don't go over there. Didn't you hear? A rich couple came to the village entrance just now. They seemed to be Er Gouzi's biological parents! They came and took Er Gouzi away. Song Ning must be very sad right now."

"Sad? Why? He has been raising Ergouzi with all his heart and soul for the past few years. It must be tiring. Wouldn't it be good if Ergouzi's biological parents came to help? He won't have to work so hard in the future. And they are both rich. If they give a little, Song Ning will have no worries about food and clothing. What's wrong with that?"

"What? You didn't see it. Er Gouzi left without saying anything. He didn't even say hello to his brother Song Ning! Otherwise, why do you think Song Ning was so sad?"

"Ah? Just leaving like that? What about Song Ning?"

"What to do? Who knows. The couple looked quite wealthy, but they left without saying a word to Song Ning."

"What? They didn't give Song Ning any money either? After all, the Song family worked so hard to raise Er Gou for so many years."

"Shh, keep your voice down! That's why we are all wondering! What do you think Er Gouzi's parents are thinking?"

"No matter what they think, they raised such a big child and then took him away without giving the Song family any compensation or anything. This is not a fair thing to do!"

"It's not fair, but Er Gouzi just left without saying anything. I used to think he was a good person. I thought that when he grew up, Song Ning would be able to relax and have the support of his brothers, and his life would be much better. I never thought that something like this would happen."

It’s not that Song Ning didn’t hear the gossips from others, but what’s the big deal if he heard them?

He was walking blankly and mechanically, and his heart felt as if there was a big hole dug in it, and he felt cold and uncertain.

He originally thought that he cooked breakfast well since he was still young. Usually he cooked at noon and in the evening and waited for Ergouzi to come back to eat before going to school.

But now that Ergouzi has been admitted to university, he naturally doesn't need so much free time. It would be better for him to keep the breakfast shop open a little longer and serve lunch meals, or simply switch to serving midnight snacks.

In this way, he can earn a little more in a year, maybe save 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year. In their small place, saving 100,000 or 80,000 yuan is enough for the down payment of a house. Then he can sell the old and dilapidated house left by his parents and buy a new one, which will make it easier for Ergou to find a partner in the future.

But now, Ergouzi is suddenly gone.

Song Ning's fighting spirit suddenly lost its purpose.

It was midsummer but his heart was extremely cold. Walking aimlessly, Song Ning gradually came to the river at the end of the old street.

The water here is deep and the weeds are dense. Usually there are few people coming here except for fishermen. It is almost deserted.

Song Ning just stood quietly by the river, feeling the breeze, his mind gradually becoming confused as he took a step forward.

This step landed directly on a pale palm.

Song Ning lowered his head and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

He stepped on someone's hand!
