Chapter 687: Sharing a Pillow after Divorce 9_1
"Nonsense, you’re my son. How could I ever dislike you? No matter if your big brother becomes a Great General or something, or your two sisters become some successful bosses or extraordinary doctors, in my heart, you four are all the same, with no distinction. You’re all Dad’s children. In my eyes, there won’t be any favoritism."
He Zhongguo, fearing that He Da would overthink, quickly added, "If it weren’t for you working to contribute to the family, saving every penny and sending money home every month, your two sisters wouldn’t have had the money for school. We, the He Family, are not ungrateful people. Your sisters will remember your kindness."
"Second brother, rest assured that in the future, if I eat meat, you’ll eat meat! If I have soup, you’ll have some too!" He Zhilan leaned cheerfully onto her father, laughing, "Right, dad? We’re a family. We’ll weather the storms and hardships together, and also share the good times!"
"I was just joking, and you all took it so seriously." He Da’s remark had been an offhand comment, unexpectedly leading his father to respond with such a grave tone.
"Your father is worried you’re overthinking." He Zhongguo sighed heavily, "Right now, the most important thing is to nurse you back to your former health. We don’t need you to be particularly strong, just healthy."
"Now that Second brother is back, I am relieved about going to the capital to study. Dad won’t be all alone at home, and he’ll have Second brother to keep him company, which is great!" He Dongxue changed the topic swiftly. He Zhilan shared the same sentiment; their father wouldn’t have to be alone at home anymore.
By noon, He Zhilan went to the convenience store to call Lin Chan, telling him to pass on a message to John that she wouldn’t be going to the capital for summer work. Partly, she needed time to heal, but also, she didn’t want to leave her family so soon.
