Chapter 1428: No Longer Struggling

The homeless man was very obedient after being told this by Zhao Desan and stopped struggling, lying quietly. Zheng Jie, standing to the side and looking sideways, saw that the homeless man lying in Zhao Desan's arms looked much more robust than Zhao Desan, but she hadn't expected that with one press from Zhao Desan, he wouldn't even move. In her heart, she added a few more points of respect and favor for Zhao Desan.

Actually, she didn't know that this homeless man hadn't eaten for several days, so how could he compete with Zhao Desan in strength? If not, if he had collided with Zhao Desan just now, Zhao Desan would probably have been the one in big trouble.

Watching the homeless man slowly recovering, Zheng Jie anxiously reminded Zhao Desan from the side, "Maybe we should call the police first, otherwise, if he recovers in a while, if he..."

Zhao Desan listened to Zheng Jie's words and looked at the homeless man still lying in his arms. Seeing his helpless eyes looking at him for help, he couldn't bear it and said, "Let's forget it. I guess he only did this because he was at the end of his rope." The homeless man in Zhao Desan's arms nodded slightly, and tears flowed down like water droplets...

As the saying goes, 'A man doesn't shed tears easily, it's just that he hasn't reached the point of heartbreak!' Zhao Desan looked at this big, tall young man whose tears were 'gushing' as he choked with sobs, and his heart softened even more. He looked up at Zheng Jie and said in a consultative tone, "Sister-in-law, I think we should let him go. We'll just take the things back!"

Zheng Jie didn't answer immediately. She looked down at Zhao Desan, her eyes holding a luster of disbelief. Zhao Desan thought she didn't agree to let him go, so he shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.

Actually, Zheng Jie wasn't unwilling to let this homeless man go; she was moved by Zhao Desan's action and the kind of love rarely seen in a man. She couldn't believe that this little man who looked extremely ordinary on weekdays was actually a good man with deep love and a kind heart. This surprised her a bit. Just as Zheng Jie was about to speak, she suddenly saw the homeless man in Zhao Desan's arms push Zhao Desan hard, struggle to stand up, throw the small bag he had snatched from Zheng Jie at Zhao Desan, and turn to run. But he hadn't run two steps before he fell to the ground again...

Zhao Desan lay on the ground and cried out "Ouch, ouch," as if he had been hurt quite badly by the homeless man's hard push...

However, Zheng Jie didn't seem surprised. She looked at Zhao Desan, who was crying and groaning on the ground, didn't even ask him, and walked straight toward the homeless man who had fallen to the ground. Zheng Jie walked up to the homeless man lying on the ground, squatted down, endured the unpleasant smell coming from him, saw him turn over, quickly took a bottle of mineral water out of her small bag, slightly lifted the homeless man's head, and fed the mineral water into his mouth.

Zhao Desan lay on the ground alone, clutching his chest and groaning "Ouch, ouch" for a long time, but seeing that Zheng Jie didn't come to take care of him, he felt quite disappointed and even more puzzled. So, he stopped this feigned groaning and turned his head to look for Zheng Jie's shadow. When he saw Zheng Jie feeding water to the homeless man, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Zhao Desan came to Zheng Jie's side gently, squatted down, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with him?"

"I guess he's suffering from exhaustion," Zheng Jie said while feeding water to the homeless man.

"Sister-in-law, how did you know I was faking it?" Zhao Desan asked embarrassedly.

"Hehe, your acting is just too poor," Zheng Jie said with a smile, not angry at all. "Don't think only you have a kind heart and everyone else is a cold-blooded animal."

Zhao Desan scratched the back of his head, embarrassedly wanting to explain, but was interrupted by Zheng Jie, "Don't explain. Let's hurry up and save him with sister-in-law first. He looks very weak and might be in danger."

"Alright, then I'll carry him to the hospital," Zhao Desan said, stepping forward to carry the homeless man on his back with difficulty.

"Let's not go to the hospital. He's just exhausted. Even if we go to the hospital, he'll just drink some glucose water. Let's go to my house first; it's closer," Zheng Jie said while supporting the homeless man on Zhao Desan's back.

"Go to your house?" Zhao Desan widened his eyes and turned his head to look at her as if he didn't recognize Zheng Jie. Zhao Desan had never been to Zheng Jie's house, but he knew there were three people in her family. Now Zhao Da was in the hospital and her daughter was getting an IV, so wouldn't she be a single young matron at home alone?

Zheng Jie snorted and said, "Now you know, sister-in-law's kindness is no less than yours, but it's all learned from you. Let's go."

Zhao Desan still felt it was somewhat inappropriate. He had never even been to Zheng Jie's house, and bringing an unidentified homeless man to a beautiful young matron's house like this—if anything happened, he would really be letting her down. Thinking of this, Zhao Desan said with a dry laugh, "Alright, alright, I know sister-in-law's kindness is greater than mine, you are the most kind-hearted and beautiful woman in the world, so don't be angry anymore. Let's go to the hospital! I can see Brother Zhao while I'm at it."

"Who's angry with you? The hospital is a long way from here, and the costs will definitely not be low. We can't spend your money on everything. Besides, judging by his condition, there shouldn't be any danger. I think there's no need to spend that unjust money. If we take him to sister-in-law's house and give him something to eat, there shouldn't be any big problem," Zheng Jie had to state her thoughts. Looking at Zhao Desan's still puzzled expression, she added, "Besides, with you there, what is there to be afraid of!"

Perhaps it was Zheng Jie's last sentence that worked. Zhao Desan didn't hesitate anymore and took long strides toward the direction Zheng Jie pointed...

The clean and tidy environment and the unique decoration style made Zhao Desan feel extremely restrained as soon as he entered the room. Carrying a man on his back who was stronger than himself, he had walked quite a distance. Zhao Desan was left pacing back and forth in the room with the homeless man on his back, not knowing where to put him.

Zheng Jie was also in a difficult position for a moment. She looked left and right, as if she couldn't find a suitable place either. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Just put him on the sofa!"
