After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 111 Responsibilities

Hearing what Lü Xinyan said, Peng Yiyun no longer hesitated or made excuses.

Peng Yiyun bowed to Lü Xinyan first, then took the pills from Lü Xinyan. Without hesitation, he turned around and walked towards his mother, Cao Cuizhen, feeding her the pills and giving her water.

Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong quickly followed.

After the pills were given, the three Peng brothers stayed by their mother Cao Cuizhen's side, anxiously watching her condition, hoping that she could successfully overcome this ordeal and truly recover.

Although they still had some doubts about Lü Xinyan, Peng Yiyun and the others had no other choice.

Peng Yiyun was well aware that his mother Cao Cuizhen's condition had deteriorated significantly and was now life-threatening. If the condition continued to worsen, it might be too late to save her.

The three brothers, caring for their seriously ill mother and their poisoned and injured father, had really no other way out.

Even though they knew the hope was extremely slim, the three brothers had been begging in this place for a long time, pleading with passersby, hoping for a miracle. But they had not received the help they needed, which made them increasingly desperate.

He had thought that they had no chance left, that he would watch his mother, Cao Cuizhen, eventually fall seriously ill and die, and his father, Peng Yucheng, eventually die from poisoning, right before their eyes, with no way to resolve the situation, and could only watch helplessly as their family fell apart.

If that's really the case, he definitely won't be able to get over it in his heart, he definitely won't be able to forgive himself, and he can't even imagine what he'll do in the future.

Fortunately, they met Lü Xinyan's family, and they finally found the treatment they wanted.

But now that Lü Xinyan is willing to lend a helping hand and treat his parents, although he still can't quite trust Lü Xinyan, he's willing to give it a try.

Of course, he had no other choice, and there wasn't enough time. He could only trust Lü Xinyan and hope that the pills she gave him would really work.

Regardless of the outcome, this is the only way he can maintain a sliver of hope.

Having tried it myself, I can't possibly regret it even more.

Furthermore, as long as Lü Xinyan can truly save his mother and father and protect their family, Peng Yiyun would accept it even if it meant selling himself into slavery to serve Lü Xinyan in the future.

He knew what he needed most, the enormous crisis his family was facing, and that Lü Xinyan was putting immense pressure on him, but he had no choice but to do it.

Even if he fell into Lü Xinyan's trap because of this, he had no other choice.

If his parents were to die in a situation where they had a chance to try but it was wasted, they would be destined to regret it for the rest of their lives, and his two younger brothers would definitely resent him.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

If there are no other opportunities, then the brothers have no choice but to accept reality and try their best to survive.

Even if they wanted to survive, they were just three children. On their journey of fleeing famine, they faced numerous dangers and found it even more difficult to protect themselves.

He has some martial arts skills, but they are not strong enough. Protecting his two younger brothers will indeed be more difficult for him, and he may not be able to handle it well.

Peng Yiyun had also considered that after Lü Xinyan saved his parents, he could find an opportunity to back out and refuse to be sold into slavery. However, doing so would come at a great cost, and success was not guaranteed.

Lü Xinyan doesn't seem like someone who's easy to fool. If he tries to scheme against Lü Xinyan, he'll probably end up being schemed against instead.

More importantly, what if he really goes back on his word and Lü Xinyan stops giving him the medicine to treat him? Should he go and beg Lü Xinyan again?

If that were the case, wouldn't he have gone to unnecessary trouble?

Under the current circumstances, the only way for him to save his father and mother is through Lü Xinyan. He must agree to hand over the indenture in order to receive more medical treatment from Lü Xinyan.

He still needs to pay a certain price to gain Lü Xinyan's trust before she will do her best to treat his father and mother.

Although Lü Xinyan agreed to treat his parents, he was definitely holding back.

Just as Lü Xinyan said, the pills that he fed to his mother Cao Cuizhen this time only had a short-term effect, just to show him the effect.

Lü Xinyan did not trust them, just as they did not trust Lü Xinyan.

Realizing this, Peng Yiyun couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and secretly smile bitterly.

When he faced Lü Xinyan, he had no chance of winning.

Moreover, given the severity of their condition, even if Lü Xinyan temporarily saves them, they will undoubtedly require further treatment and care. The necessary medicinal herbs and pills will likely be even more scarce, and they may not be able to afford them.

If he rashly breaks his promise to Lü Xinyan and insists on his own way, Lü Xinyan will have more ways to deal with them, and the first to be unable to withstand it will be his parents.

He has far too many things to consider; he simply can't outmaneuver Lü Xinyan.

Therefore, with her parents seriously ill, this was the only path Peng Yiyun could think of for the time being.

Whether he liked it or not, since he said those things from the beginning, there was no turning back.

Now, it all depends on whether the pills Lu Xinyan gave him are truly effective, as this will definitely determine his subsequent course of action.

Noticing that her two younger brothers were trembling with nervousness, Peng Yiyun held their hands and gently comforted them, "It's alright, don't worry, Mom will get better."

"After Mother wakes up, we'll go and ask for medicine so Father can get better too."

"From now on, our family will be well and such misfortunes will not happen again."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Although he was still quickly thinking of a solution to the current situation, Peng Yiyun still took on the responsibility of being the eldest brother and needed to take care of his two younger brothers.

They are still young and don't understand much yet. It's a torment for them to have to go through such a change. Peng Yiyun will pay close attention to her two younger brothers' reactions and try her best not to leave them with any psychological trauma.

If there are any problems, he can handle them.
