Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Turbulent Year 6

"Dongxue will be joining the army in a few days, her hospital doesn’t give much time off, so she will have to return soon after her arrival," He Zhilan said. "Dad, once the farm work at home is done, you and He Da should come and stay with us in the army for a few days too. I don’t know when I’ll get a long enough break to come visit you all. I miss you!"

On the other end, He Da heard He Zhilan say she missed them and joked, "You miss Dad and me, so you could come back alone and leave He Teng in the army—though, I’m afraid you wouldn’t bear to do that~"

"He Da is getting naughtier! Now he’s even teasing me! I need to urge Dad to hurry up and find me a sister-in-law! Oh wait, my mistake, it should be a brother-in-law or a wife of a brother for me, right?" He Zhilan chuckled softly. She was married to He Teng, but He Da had never called her sister-in-law.

Moreover, in He Da’s heart, she was still a sister. Transitioning to calling her a sister-in-law was something He Da really couldn’t do. Besides, after having called her by her name He Zhilan for over a decade, it had become as natural as calling Dongxue.

This topic was merely a jest from He Zhilan, but at this, He Da couldn’t help but sigh.

Since their family had gone to the capital for He Zhilan’s wedding, someone must have spotted them. Knowing that the He Family and the Liang Family went to the capital together, villagers speculated with envy that the He Family had money now, considering they went on a trip to the capital as a whole family without worrying about expenses.

The He Family’s living standards have been improving. Later on, for convenience, He Zhilan had a telephone installed at home and added many other things there. The villagers knew the He Family wasn’t short of money now. Naturally, many issues followed.

There’s He Da’s aunt who kept causing a scene to borrow money from the He Family, saying she needed more money to bail out her son from jail. When the He Family said no, she wailed around the village, accusing the He Family of being heartless. She claimed that if it weren’t for their loan to the He Family back then, the He Family wouldn’t be where they are today. Yet now, the He Family, being the heads of the family, heartlessly watched their nephew suffer in jail, unwilling to spare any money to help her poor son.

This wasn’t even the most annoying part. Earlier, when the He Family was poor, and He Da had just returned home, He Zhongguo wanted to find a spouse for his son, and the matchmaker had only brought proposals from deaf-mutes or similarly handicapped individuals or even mentally challenged ones. But now, matchmakers were practically breaking down their door.

This time, it wasn’t individuals with disabilities or challenges, but daughters from reputable families. But who didn’t know that these people were only eyeing the He Family’s newfound status, hoping to join in their prosperity? They also thought about pulling themselves up by associating with the He Family as relatives.

Yet, He Da had never agreed, not even to meet these girls, let alone marrying any. When matchmakers failed to convince him, some even concocted a plan to find He Zhongguo a new wife!

This series of trivial matters had been really vexing for the father and son.

However, all these troubles back home, neither He Da nor He Zhongguo had mentioned a word to He Zhilan. With their loved ones far away, who wouldn’t choose to share only the joys and not the sorrows?

The New Year was around the corner, and for He Teng, it had been vibrant, except for the absence of Niu Rang.

After He Dongxue’s arrival, she had been a great help to He Zhilan with the festive preparations. It was He Dongxue who helped pick and buy the New Year goods. Yet, once He Dongxue arrived at the base, Kang Xing was like radar attached to her, always lurking around her area.
