Chapter 142: The Subtle Shift in Mindset
Ever since their parents passed away, Song Xiaoru had never truly celebrated her birthday, let alone have so many people come to celebrate it with her—Second Uncle and Second Auntie, along with Third Uncle and Third Aunt, and also Song Xianping from Third Uncle’s family had rushed over.
With the whole family gathered around, clinking glasses and chatting, Song Xiaoru was just overjoyed.
At first, Song Xiaodong was a bit uncomfortable, but seeing his sister so happy, he also stopped dwelling on the past. After all, what he loved most now was making his sister happy. As long as his sister was happy, nothing else mattered.
"Dongzi, now that you’re so capable, are you planning to work in a hospital?" Third Aunt asked with a smile.
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "I’m just casually working at a gym right now."
Third Uncle exclaimed in surprise, "Really? But you have such excellent medical skills. If you went to work in a hospital, you could surely make a lot of money, and you’d have a high social status too."
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "I prefer a relaxed job. As for status and making money, I don’t really care that much."
Second Uncle said, "You silly kid, how can you not make money these days? Look, you still live here. Don’t you have to make money to buy a better house?"
Song Xiaoru said with a smile, "You don’t have to worry about that. Dongzi isn’t short of money now; we’ve already bought a house."
"You’ve already bought a house?" Everyone looked shocked.
