"Dongxue and I have just mentioned to dad to not pressure you, but I came to see you in case you’re overthinking. Maybe, second bro, no matter what I say, you won’t fully understand because you haven’t experienced it. But all I want to tell you is, just because you lost a leg doesn’t mean you have to submit to fate. Consider, there are so many people with physical impairments in the world who have still done great things. What matters in life is your mental state, not your limbs. If you don’t have the will, even if you have a body, you’re just a walking corpse pushed around by fate. So, second bro, keep on going! For these years, you stay at home and take care of your health. After Dongxue and I graduate, I believe our lives will be dramatically different."
He Da nodded his head, "Don’t worry, I’ve endured all the hardship these years. My life now is very happy, I am content. You and Dongxue just focus on studying, we’ve got the house matters handled, you don’t need to worry."
"Okay!" He Zhilan replied with a smile, "Bro, you should rest early, I’m going back to my room."
"Don’t forget to let Dongxue apply the medicine for you." He Da reminded her, then watched He Zhilan leave the room. In his heart, the original gloom had disappeared without a trace after Zhilan’s words.
He can’t complain about his fate, because compared to most people begging on the streets, he’s luckier than anyone. If it wasn’t for Zhilan risking herself to save him, his life would still be full of turmoil. Therefore, he needs to remain grateful. He thanks fate for allowing him to return to his family, for the continued love and care he received as if nothing has changed, for no one ever arranged him because of his disability.
Furthermore, nobody urged him to compromise his dignity. He Da thought about it, Zhilan was right, he didn’t need to make concessions just because he lost a leg.
Since He Dongxue was a freshman, her registration time was a few days earlier than He Zhilan’s. This time, when He Dongxue and He Zhilan went to school, He Zhongguo didn’t resort to quietly borrowing money, which surprised those in the village who were ready to gloat.
After some inquiries, they learned that Zhilan had been to C province, riding on a plane and staying in a high-end hotel, dealing with foreigners to earn the money. Their view of Zhilan changed drastically.
She only went to C province for a few days? Not only did she bring He Da back, but she also earned the tuition for two people? Everyone could do the math. When they calculated it, everyone was shocked!
Oh boy, a college sophomore could earn more money in a few days than most people could earn in a year!
At this rate, everyone started saying that the He Family was going to be very successful once both students graduated from college. One person could earn so much money in a few days, wouldn’t two people earn even more in the future?
Now, fewer people were gossiping. Many even tried to get close to the He Family before Zhilan and Dongxue left for school, hoping to secure a good relationship with the He Family and get a windfall when Zhilan and Dongxue start earning money.
With He Da and their father at home, Zhilan and Dongxue could leave home with peace of mind, especially after receiving a promise from their brother He Teng in the army. Zhilan pretended to take Dongxue to the capital earlier so she could stay in the army for a few days before
