All the brothers in the He family had grievances about this. He Ning, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually extremely impatient; He Zhou, who made no attempt to hide his sharp words; He Yi, who had no choice but to accept his fate; He Chen, who looked gentle but was actually distant... Including himself, they all thought that their mother was naive and heartless, and that she could endure anything for a little bit of pitiful family affection.
So that's how it is.
I see.
He Ning turned her head away, her beautiful profile shrouded in a layer of shadow, a hazy gray.
He Zhou was plunged into a deep sense of bewilderment, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away. Over the years, his resentment was arguably the greatest among all members of the He family. He thought he was clear-headed, but what exactly was he doing?
He Yuan remained relatively calm. He had shouldered the burden of the family early on and was not as clueless about the family situation as others. He had caught his parents sneaking out late at night and, when he saw them, they said in a panic, "Your dad and I can't sleep, so we're going out for a walk. You go to sleep first."
Unable to expose them, he pretended not to know anything and went back to sleep. But as soon as the living room door closed, he immediately got up and followed them all the way to the bus stop.
He secretly flipped through the family's account book and saw the repeated calculations on it. One pound of vegetables cost 1.5 yuan, which was crossed out to become 1.2 yuan. So the next day, when the dishes were served, He Sui said, "Mom, the vegetables don't seem fresh today." That frugality, penny by penny, ultimately supported the livelihood of a family of ten.
He will always understand her suffering.
The phone call ended, and everyone fell silent; no one spoke first.
He Chen smiled wryly: "We all misunderstood her."
Yes, how could a woman who had never gone hungry even in such poor conditions not love them?
He Yi said, "I'll look for a part-time job this weekend."
He Sui quickly said, "I'll go too."
He Jing chuckled softly beside her.
Her smile drew everyone's attention to her.
He Jing tilted her head, looking a little troubled: "Have you forgotten that there's a money bag here?"
He Yuan and the others were all stunned.
He Jing smiled confidently and calmly: "Don't worry, even if Mom doesn't earn money, I can support my brothers. They just need to focus on their studies. There's no need to make the atmosphere so bitter and resentful."
After pausing, she added, "If my brothers feel bad about it, they can pay me back when they earn money in the future."
He Sui's eyes lit up: "Yes, with He Jing around, He Jing's money is our money."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ning said indifferently, "Fourth brother, have some shame."
The gloom on his face softened, and he glanced at He Sui casually.
He Sui didn't take it seriously and said confidently, "That's right. We're family. He Jing is helping us now, and we'll hand over all the money we earn in the future."
He Yuan couldn't help but interject, "If you put it that way, in economics, this is called investment."
He Zhou sneered: "I'm not investing. Anyway, she has plenty of money, so I don't feel guilty about spending a little."
He Yi remained silent. His relationship with He Jing was clearly not as close as the others were to her. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
He Chen smiled and said, "So, does that mean I have some value?"
He Jing glanced at them one by one and said with a sincere smile, "You are all very precious."
If it's an investment, she's making a sure-fire way to make money.
