"Be good and get some sleep," Xu Nian’an said softly. "If you need anything, just call for your second brother, I’ll be here."
"Okay," Xu Nianhua replied obediently, closed her eyes, and the pain in her head and feet seemed magnified, but she didn’t speak out. She was afraid to disturb her second brother who hadn’t slept the previous night and had been busy all day today.
"Second brother, where did you get the money to buy the wheelchair?" Xu Nianhua was a bit dumbfounded by the wheelchair that appeared before her early in the morning.
The money from the driver’s compensation, after paying for the medical bills, shouldn’t have been much.
"Little sister, I’ve asked the doctor, and for more than a month, you need to recuperate. I bought this wheelchair for you so when you’re better, you can sit in it and move around, instead of being confined to the hospital room every day," Xu Nian’an explained as he talked about the wheelchair. He had spent a long time picking it out, and they even didn’t have it in stock; it was supposed to arrive yesterday.
"Second brother, where did you get the money?" Xu Nianhua glanced at the wheelchair and persistently fixed her gaze on Xu Nian’an regarding this question.
"I..." Xu Nian’an thought for a moment, then sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, said, "I told mom and dad that I damaged some equipment at school, so I had to pay for it. They sent me the money."
What was the second brother thinking?
Wouldn’t this worry mom and dad?
It was just a month; she could lie in bed every day with no problems.
"I know you would think it’s worrying for mom and dad. But this also serves as a way to prepare them psychologically. Besides, I’ll return the money to them in the future," Xu Nian’an said earnestly. "I’ve figured it all out. I have a day off every week. You used to work part-time at the factory, and I too want to take some time to set up a stall and sell things."
Having sold mung bean jelly before, he was all too aware of the profits involved.
You wouldn’t think a humble stall could be that profitable, but it really earns money.
"Second brother, you should spend all your time studying," Xu Nianhua said, looking at her second brother’s determined face, thinking about how the flap of a reborn butterfly’s wings led to his no longer dying young as before and becoming more and more outstanding. Furthermore, because of his previous experience selling mung bean jelly and now with family selling chili sauce and furniture, his outlook had changed.
She had once heard that in the eighties, as long as you dared, even starting a stall could make you a millionaire!
"Little sister, I won’t neglect my studies. But I can’t study twenty-four hours a day; that would just turn me into a bookworm," Xu Nian’an said, laughing lightly. "I understand the knowledge needed for school. In a few months, I can keep up with the teacher’s pace. Little sister, you should also let your second brother explore some side businesses, right?"
Xu Nian’an’s light-hearted and humorous words even incorporated ’side business,’ a term Xu Nianhua often mentioned.
"I definitely believe in second brother’s talent. It’s just that I’m worried you’ll overexert yourself," she said.
Xu Nianhua’s words made Xu Nian’an instantly roll up his sleeves, making a gesture of a strongman, saying, "Your second brother is still young. Look at these muscles; they won’t wear out your second brother."
"Xu Second Brother, what are you doing showing off your muscles so early in the morning?" Pei Yining, who came in with breakfast, couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing Xu Nian’an’s strongman act. She was surprised when she saw the brand-new wheelchair in the room and exclaimed, "Eh, where did this wheelchair come from? My brother also bought one."
As soon as Pei Yining finished speaking, Pei Yicheng came in pushing another brand-new wheelchair. The wheelchair he used before, he had d after he recovered from his injury. Now, this was a newly purchased one.
