Chapter 387: Tan’s Mother Comes to Beijing 5_1
For He Da, his father felt powerless. He wondered about his son, not knowing where he was, how he was doing, or if he was even alive?
Hearing He Zhilan’s words, feeling that she had finally grown up and was thinking of easing the burden on the family, and would rely on her husband, brought He’s father a bitter-sweet feeling.
"Being with your brother in the army is also a good thing. Your brother has always been on his own these years. If you take up a part-time job and it’s too hard, don’t do it, okay? Money is important, but not as important as our own health and mood. If you’re not happy with the job, don’t do it. Your dad’s still young and can work for a few more years. You focus on your studies."
"Dad, I’ll take good care of my brother, and myself too." He Zhilan burst into tears as she spoke, "Thank you, Dad, you’re wonderful!"
Like He Teng, He’s father, despite the family’s poverty, upon hearing He Zhilan wanted to take a part-time job, first cared not how much she could earn, but that she should enjoy her work and not overstrain herself. If she was unhappy with the work, she should quit.
He Zhilan is not heartless. How could she not be moved by such words? Thinking of all the misdeeds she had committed in the He family in the past and then thinking of the kindness He’s father and He Teng showed her, she truly felt that growing up in the He family made her luckier than many people.
"What’s so great about me? I’m useless. I haven’t earned enough money for you to enjoy." He’s father shook his head and sighed. As a father, what he wanted most to do was to give his children the best. Unfortunately, he just didn’t have that ability.
"In my heart, Dad is more important than money!" He Zhilan said.
