Chapter 71 - Uncle Tang’s Promise

He Peng stood where he was and was deep in thought for a long time before he came up with an idea.

He saw a few little boys playing football in the distance.

He Peng walked forward and took out a few cards from his school bag. He spoke to the little boys, “These cards are for you. Can you help me call that old man over?”

As He Peng spoke, he pointed at the old man in the distance.

The little boys looked at the few classic collection cards in He Peng’s hands and could not help but swallow their saliva. “No problem!”

The little boys ran in front of the old man. “Grandpa! Our ball fell into the ditch over there. We can’t reach it. Can you help us get it?”

Uncle Tang looked at the little boys in front of him and looked at Tang Tang with some embarrassment. “It’s not very convenient for me now.”

“Grandpa, please! Our ball really did fall in! If we don’t take it out, mommy will definitely hit us!” A little boy said anxiously.

Uncle Tang looked at the little boy’s appearance and then looked at the other two beside him.

He nodded and said to the little boy, “Then wait for me for a while.”

After Uncle Tang said that, he said to Tang Tang, “I’m heading out for a bit. You stay here obediently!”

Uncle Tang then glanced at the two men.

The two men nodded at Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang then felt relieved and left.

Following the few little boys to a big tree, uncle Tang asked, “Where is the ditch?”

The little boys stammered, unable to understand.

Uncle Tang frowned. “What do you want to do?”

The few little boys were scared away by Uncle Tang’s question.

At this moment, He Peng came out from behind the tree. “Grandpa Butler! I asked them to do this!”

Uncle Tang looked at He Peng with a puzzled expression. “You’re looking for me? What’s the matter?”

He Peng walked forward and said to uncle Tang, “Fang Ya is my mother, and Tang Tang is my sister.”

Uncle Tang looked at He Peng, and the puzzled expression on his face gradually faded.

Uncle Tang cautiously looked behind him before pulling He Peng to walk behind the tree. “It’s too dangerous for you to come here by yourself like this!”

He Peng knew that Uncle Tang had good intentions, so he grabbed Uncle Tang’s hand and asked, “Grandpa Butler, my mother misses my sister very much! Can you let me bring my sister back?”

Uncle Tang sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want you to bring her back! But there are still other people keeping an eye on the little miss, and I can’t do anything about it!”

He Peng thought of the two men. “Then, can you send them away?”

Uncle Tang immediately shook his head. “No! It’s too dangerous!”

“Go back and tell Miss Fang that I’ll take care of her. She’s treated very well here.” Uncle Tang promised He Peng. “Tell her not to worry.”

“Also, don’t come here alone! It’s really dangerous!”Uncle Tang said to He Peng again.

He Peng frowned. This was not the result he had wanted!

Uncle Tang patted He Peng’s head and said, “I know you mean well and I know you’re doing this for their own good! But you’re still young and there are many things you can’t do!”

“Go back obediently and don’t get caught!” Uncle Tang instructed again.

He Peng hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of Tang Tang! I’ll come again!”

Uncle Tang looked at He Peng’s determined gaze and only nodded after a long while. “Alright!”

Having obtained Uncle Tang’s promise, He Peng turned around and left.

After returning home, He Peng hesitated for a moment before telling Fang Ya about what had happened today.

Fang Ya was startled by He Peng’s actions.

Although her heart ached, she still patted He Peng’s body a few times angrily. “This is the matter of adults! Do you know how dangerous it is!”

Although He Peng’s face was expressionless, his eyes revealed a sense of grievance.

After hitting He Peng a few times, Fang Ya finally broke out in tears like a ruptured faucet.

She hugged He Peng and bawled. “My Tang Tang! What should I do!”

He Peng listened to Fang Ya’s crying and reached out stiffly, patting her back.

After Fang Ya hugged He Peng to vent her feelings for a long time, she finally felt tired.

She only felt her vision go black and she staggered and fell to the ground. He Peng was shocked and tried to grab Fang Ya.

However, his body was too small and could not support Fang Ya’s weight.

Just as the two of them were about to fall to the ground, the large woman rushed in and caught her limp body.

He Peng fell to the ground and finally let out a breath.

The large woman quickly helped Fang Ya to the bed and laid her down. “He Peng, go and invite Doctor Liao over!”

He Peng nodded and immediately rushed out.
