"Second Brother, just leaving , is that really okay? Brother Yicheng got hurt because of me, I..."
Halfway through, Xu Nianhua turned to walk back, but Xu Nian’an hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Yicheng did it for your sake too. You’ve finally come back once; don’t you want to go home and see? We haven’t even had a chance to visit our new house yet!"
"That’s true." Xu Nianhua was indeed very excited about their new home.
"Tonight I will send over some chicken soup, and if Ling Dong is there, I’ll come back. If he’s not, I’ll stay to watch over him," Xu Nian’an didn’t want their little sister, who had rarely come home, to stay in the hospital the whole time.
"Don’t worry, Yicheng’s injury looks scary, but it’s not critical. The doctor said he will be able to leave the hospital after a few days of good rest."
Xu Nian’an comforted her, worried that she’d be anxious.
"It’s all because of me. If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened." Xu Nianhua blamed herself. Brother Yicheng didn’t have to come back at all; it was only because of the factory that he returned.
"Nianhua, if Yicheng heard you say that, he would be heartbroken. Yicheng is a man, a little injury is nothing to him. You are a girl!" Xu Nian’an reminded her, "If I hadn’t been far away at the time, I definitely would have protected you. A little injury to us is nothing, but you are a girl."
"Doesn’t he like the porridge you cook? You should make him more delicious food in the future, as a way to make it up to him." As soon as Xu Nian’an finished speaking, he added, "Besides, you don’t need to worry about thanking him. Big Brother and I will properly thank him. You, just relax. The way you were before, that’s how you should be now."
Xu Nian’an added, "Oh, and definitely don’t let him bully you just because he saved you once. If he ever dares to bully you, just tell Second Brother, and I’ll take care of him for you. We need to separate these things; he saved you yesterday, but he can’t use that favor to bully you!"
He spoke righteously, repeatedly admonishing Xu Nianhua, fearing his little sister might feel inferior in this relationship because of this favor.
"Thank you, Second Brother, I understand," Xu Nianhua smiled with pursed lips, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Xu Nian’an, feeling warm inside. Second Brother was really great, having family who cared felt so good.
The siblings first went to the Chili Sauce Factory, where they were busy until the evening. Xu Nian’an made a special trip home early to bring the well-stewed chicken soup back to the county.
Xu Nianji had also come back from the city.
After two days of sales, the stock he brought had completely sold out. Unlike before, the first thought people had when buying chili sauce was to choose theirs.
Xu Nianji was tired after two busy days, but he was very happy. He shared this joyful news with Ji Ying and everyone at the factory, especially inspiring the factory workers.
Initially, they had been worried that, after the incident, people would think their chili sauce was unclean or problematic and wouldn’t want to buy it. Now, there was nothing to worry about; they were only concerned about keeping up with the production!
As Xu Nianhua sat in the car and saw the two-story house from afar, her heart surged with excitement. She had succeeded in changing her family’s destiny, and everything was moving in a positive direction. This beautiful house was now her home.
Xu Nianhua got out of the car, looked at the two-story house, and her eyes reddened with excitement.
