Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Picking Up Father He and Second Brother to Go to the Capital 15_1

He Da’s leg, having been neglected for too long, was not as hopeful as Bian Muhe initially thought. Fortunately, the problem wasn’t too big either.

Prostheses needed to be custom made. After the examination, they all returned home.

"What did the doctor say?" He Da’s father asked anxiously as soon as they returned.

"The doctor said that he can use a prosthesis. After a period of adaptation and training, he could walk without crutches. But the doctor doesn’t recommend wearing it for too long. It can be worn outdoors, but when at home, it is best to take it off and massage the foot to rest," He Zhilan said. "Brother should stay in the capital for more than a month."

Upon saying this, Zhilan looked at her father before continuing, "Dad, this is what I think. Look, I’ve arranged our stay here. If you and brother stay in the capital for a while, get used to the life here, how about renting out our hometown’s house and moving to the capital? This way, our family would be close, we can always see each other, and you and brother wouldn’t need to work so hard."

"So your brother and I are supposed to be dependent on you three? That’s not right~" Their father shook his head. "I’m still young with strength to work. I can still farm our land. Although it doesn’t pay much, at least I don’t have to ask you all for money. You have all just started working, your brother and I don’t want to burden you."

"Dad~" He Zhilan sighed, "I just don’t want you and brother to work so hard. Besides, we are family. Shouldn’t we share our joys and sorrows?"

"We are content knowing you have such a caring heart. We prefer our hometown where everyone’s familiar, there’s places to go, and the air is good. We are used to the weather too," He Da shook his head. "The prosthesis has already cost a lot. Right now, you have a lot of pressure. So, we can’t add to your burdens. If in the future, your business thrives and dad gets older and can’t work, and I lose my abilities too, then we can go live with you, can’t we?"

"Dad, brother," He Zhilan sat down before them, "I originally wanted you two to stay in the capital. I had planned for brother’s situation too. I thought he could open a small supermarket in a crowded area."

"Small supermarket?" He Dongxue was bewildered by the term.

"It’s like running a small mall. Or a big convenience store," Zhilan explained, "I saw them when I was in M Country. Their business is good because they sell everything. The heavy tasks can be outsourced, while the boss can sit in front of the store just collecting money."

Because the capital is large with a highly transient population, He Zhilan thought about having He Da give it a try. After all, she could afford the investment to open such a small supermarket. She reasoned that the bigger the city, the bigger the opportunity.

"But let’s discuss this in the future," He Da didn’t dwell on it for he knew opening a store wasn’t as simple as saying it. It required capital and he didn’t want everything to depend on Zhilan, his younger sister, thereby adding to her pressure.

Hearing his response, Zhilan nodded and didn’t continue the conversation. It was already late, so she and He Dongxue prepared to go out and buy some ingredients for dinner. The house was fully equipped with all necessary kitchenware.

However, when Zhilan and Dongxue were out, they heard a piece of news that almost made their eyeballs bulge out.

Ten days later, Gu En and Lin Deng were officially getting engaged, and they had even started distributing invitations!

Considered a big family, the Gu’s engagement was such a big deal that it even made the newspapers. No wonder everyone on the streets was discussing it.

Upon hearing this, Zhilan realized that this was set in stone. She was relieved that Jiang Biyun and their parents had returned home early. Otherwise, Biyun would have been devastated if she were here.

Lin Deng had really disappointed Jiang Biyun after all.
