Chapter 1100: Brotherly Address
"Ahahaha...!" The prisoner kept laughing incessantly, paying no heed to the dwarf’s angry curses.
"Such nonsense, truly a madman."
Hearing the ear-splitting laughter, the inmates in other cells all crowded around their doors, craning their necks to look outside. They had no idea what was happening.
After laughing to his heart’s content, the prisoner walked up to the dwarf, patted his small shoulder, and said, "Well done, well done. From now on, you’re the benefactor of my family."
"If you’re going to talk, just talk—don’t touch me," the dwarf said, clearly uncomfortable with physical contact.
The prisoner paid no attention. He sat cross-legged beside him and started chatting as though they were old pals...
It turned out his name was Zhang San. When he was young, he and the Prime Minister were childhood friends. Over ten years ago, when his family was impoverished and his son gravely ill, with no path left to take, he remembered his childhood friend who had become the Prime Minister in the Capital. He brought his wife and sickly son to the Capital to seek refuge. At first, the Prime Minister did indeed take care of them generously. But gradually, Zhang San noticed that whenever he wasn’t around, the Prime Minister would visit their home.
One day, when he returned home, his seriously ill son unintentionally blurted something that made him break out in a cold sweat.
His three-year-old son, with a bewildered look, asked him, "Father, why does Uncle often take off all his clothes and sleep with Mother?"
He scolded his son at the time, saying, "Don’t talk nonsense! What reason would Uncle have to sleep with your mother?"
"Really, he even said Mother was so beautiful that marrying you was such a waste, living a life like this."
Upon hearing this, he felt as if the sky had collapsed. He told his son to never speak of it again.
The next day, as usual, he greeted his wife before heading out with the prescription list in hand. This time, he decided to be cautious. Halfway out, he turned back and squatted by the door to keep watch.
