Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Brotherly Love (Second Update)
After registering, the first day was just tidying up the dormitory. Most of Tang Yue’s belongings were in the county, so it was easy to organize. With some time to spare, she planned to go to the hospital with Tang Mingli.
Visiting her uncle to check on his leg was fine, but if Wang Aihua intended to use this as an excuse to get money from her parents, she wouldn’t be pleased.
On the way back, Tang Mingli couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Yue, do you really plan to go to a university in Shangjing City?"
"Yes," Tang Yue nodded. She was very clear about the path she wanted to take in the future. First, to get into a university in Shangjing City, and second, she wanted to build her own business empire. Of course, her parents’ small shop wouldn’t be enough.
She thought to herself that in the future she would let her parents earn money while she quietly enjoyed her rich and beautiful life.
However, her goal was still far away, but she was still young, only seventeen, and there was a long way to go.
"Then, have you even decided what major you want to study?" Tang Mingli asked again.
"Yes, I like fashion design, so naturally, when I get into the university, I want to study that." Tang Yue didn’t see anything wrong with her plan. She looked up only to see Tang Mingli watching her with admiration.
"Little uncle, why are you looking at me like that?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but look around. Her little uncle, now a small business owner himself, looked at her with such admiration, a look she thought was typical of children.
"Xiao Yue, you’re really impressive. When I was in high school, I didn’t get into any universities," Tang Mingli mentioned with a sigh of melancholy tears, Granny Tang and his second brother had split the cost of his education.
Back then, Granny Tang really wanted him to get into university and become the college student of the village!
Having a university degree in Qianjin Village was a matter of pride.
He even remembered feeling extremely reluctant to return home right after failing the entrance exams. For years afterward, except for visiting during the New Year, he seldom went back.
Especially the matches Wang Aihua tried to make for him, making him even more reluctant to return.
"Little uncle, now you’re in business, and in the future, you’ll be a big boss. Imagine, having those university students work at your store. Doesn’t that feel great?" Tang Yue softly painted that picture.
Tang Mingli, who had previously felt inferior, suddenly built a strong sense of self-confidence with her words, and it also gave him a goal—to hire university students to work for him.
Years later, having achieved this goal, Tang Mingli, who now possessed assets worth tens of millions, still remained grateful to Tang Yue for her depiction of the future. Without her vision, he might have just settled for being a clothing store owner.
Of course, that’s another story for later.
People’s Hospital.
When Tang Mingli and Tang Yue arrived, Wang Aihua was there too, Tang Zhengde was carrying Tang Zhengyuan to get an X-ray, while their mother, Zhang Hualian, was preparing lunch at home.
Tang Mingli, seeing Wang Aihua, didn’t even bother to speak.
Wang Aihua initiated, "Why is my life so tough? If your elder brother’s leg doesn’t heal, what will we do? Our family relies on your brother to earn money." Wang Aihua lamented, making it sound as though Tang Zhengyuan were on his deathbed to the uninformed.
Tang Mingli frowned and said, "It’s just an X-ray, isn’t it? Why make such a big fuss?"
"If it wasn’t serious, would we need an X-ray?" Wang Aihua watched as Tang Zhengde carried him inside, the coldness of the equipment filling her with dread.
Tang Mingli didn’t bother responding, Tang Yue silently stood by his side.
Soon, Tang Zhengde returned carrying Tang Zhengyuan.
Wang Aihua immediately greeted them: "How is it? What did the doctor say? Can it be cured? How much will it cost?"
Her barrage of questions came one after another. Tang Zhengyuan replied, "We have to wait for the doctor to see the X-ray results."
Tang Zhengyuan’s leg was swollen and hurt even with slight contact.
Half an hour later, the X-ray results were out. Hearing that medication was needed and that it would take three to four months of home care, Wang Aihua immediately became anxious and said, "Doctor, can’t you make his foot heal faster? By the time three or four months pass, the fields will be busy."
The doctor glanced at her and said, "Even if his leg heals, he won’t be able to do heavy work again."
Wang Aihua immediately started shouting.
The doctor explained, "Being able to walk normally is already quite good."
In other words, you should be content.
Tang Zhengyuan earnestly asked, "Our home is in a village. If I can’t do heavy work, how will we have any money?"
"Doctor, please, help me," Tang Zheng Yuan struggled to bow down to the doctor.
"It’s no use even if you kneel," the doctor said helplessly, quickly motioning to Tang Zhengde and others to help him up.
Wang Aihua kept saying, "What are we going to do now? Our family depends on Tang Zheng Yuan making money. Now that he can’t do heavy work, what can he do?"
At the hospital, Wang Aihua’s worried words kept echoing; not worried about Tang Zheng Yuan’s leg, but worried that with his leg injured, he won’t be able to earn money to bring home.
Tang Zheng Yuan looked grim, regret in his eyes. If he hadn’t gone to work in the timber yard, this wouldn’t have happened.
"Big brother, rest your leg for now. Once you can walk normally, won’t you still be able to make money?" Tang Zhengde comforted him.
Tang Zheng Yuan looked up, "Other than heavy labor, what else can I do?" In his life, he’d relied on the crops from the fields, on cutting trees in the mountains during the summer, and chopping bamboo in the winter to make money. If he couldn’t do heavy work anymore, what difference was there between him and a disabled person?
"Big brother, solutions are thought up by people. Later on, who knows, maybe once your foot heals, there will be new opportunities," Tang Mingli also tried to reassure him, fearing Tang Zheng Yuan might harbor dark thoughts.
"That’s right, Mingli’s correct, we’re all in the county, and we’ll help you keep an eye out. If there’s a good opportunity, we’ll let you know," Tang Zhengde encouraged, adding, "Besides, the doctor said that you could walk like a normal person in the future. Let’s get the medication and heal the leg first, and then worry about walking."
"Your leg can’t stay swollen like that," Tang Zhengde looked at his leg, considering all the possible less strenuous jobs in the county that his elder brother could do to still earn money.
"Let it swell to death then, it’s useless now anyway," Tang Zheng Yuan angrily slapped his leg, while beside him, Wang Aihua’s cries filled the air, distressing to hear.
