Upon hearing the sound, Lu Sen wheeled himself to the door of the room, but was unable to get out because of the threshold.
When Lu Jiayan's face came into view, he, a grown man and an old father, burst into tears.
His fourth son really stood up.
This is not a dream!
It's true! It's true!
Seeing his father shed tears of emotion, Lu Jiayan was also incredibly moved.
He knew that his father was the one who suffered the most after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The father and son hugged each other and cried for a long time before they calmed down.
An Wan, Lu Chun, and their brothers stood to one side, silently shedding tears.
"Come on, let me see your legs." Lu Sen gently patted Lu Jiayan's thigh.
Lu Jiayan nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled up his trouser legs.
He revealed a pair of legs that weren't much different from anyone else's. If there was any difference, it was that his skin was very white and he had no leg hair.
Lu Sen touched Lu Jiayan's calves a few times; the texture and temperature of the skin were just like those of an ordinary person.
"Your leg is healed, does that mean your illness is cured too?" Lu Sen didn't ask Lu Jiayan why he was able to stand up; some things were better left unsaid.
Nothing is more important than the child being able to stand up and recover.
"I don't know, but I definitely don't feel any discomfort now. Before, my legs would often hurt, I would feel weak, and I would feel dizzy. But not anymore."
Lu Jiayan pulled down his trouser leg and took his father's hand. "Dad, you will stand up too. Believe in yourself."
"Okay, okay!" Lu Sen nodded, smiling broadly.
He no longer cares much about whether he will be able to stand up again someday.
Because his fourth son has stood up, that's enough.
"Wait a few days, then have your older brother take you to a hospital in a big city for another check-up to make sure you're healthy."
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad."
The father and son sat down and talked for a while.

The joyous news of Lu Jiayan's recovery dispelled the gloom of the collapsed house.
Lu Chunhe immediately called Lu Jingxing with his mobile phone, telling him only the good news that Lu Jiayan had stood up, but not mentioning the collapse of their house.
No one wanted Lu Jingxing to worry. Although he had already taken the college entrance examination, he could only enter Lujia Village after a day or two when the roads leading into the village were dry and the mudslide-blocked roads were cleared.
The three-day downpour not only caused many houses to collapse, but also made the roads in many villages muddy and even caused landslides that blocked the only main road.
After the heavy rain stopped, Grandpa He came to the Lu family's house and saw that half of the house had collapsed. He was so frightened that he thought An Wan had had an accident.
"Oh dear, my dear grandson, Grandpa is late!" He rushed in, crying all the way.
He thought to himself that if something really happened to her, he wouldn't be able to survive either.
Whether she lives a long life depends on her.
This little rascal, this little cutie, was sent by God to save me.
"Grandpa He, why are you crying so loudly? You scared me to death." An Wan ran out and saw him crying.
She thought someone was mourning in her own home and almost wanted to chase them away with a broom.
"Wanwan, Grandpa's darling, I'm so glad you're alright. You almost scared me to death, you know?"
Grandpa He hugged An Wan tightly, and only after feeling her real body temperature did he truly believe that she was alright.
Yunping was happy to see how much Grandpa He cared about Anwan.
It's just that I don't have the ability to give this child a good life.
Seeing the Lu family's dilapidated house, Old Master He waved his hand and decided to let An Wan and the Lu family move to the house next door to his.
This is the new house he rented at a high price, for He Yurou and He Sichen to rest in the countryside on weekends.
There are three rooms, just enough for the nine members of the Lu family to live in.
He will definitely provide funds to help the Lu family overcome this difficulty.
Yunping and Lusen did not refuse. To repay the family's gratitude, they led the children to bow to Master He.
The family then quickly packed their clothes and some valuables, and after moving everything, they went into the second room that Grandpa He had rented.
No sooner had the Lu family left than the kitchen and bathroom of the old house collapsed.
Yunping was very sad, but she didn't dare to show it, afraid of affecting everyone's mood.
With a new place to live, An Wan and the Lu family were in good spirits and were not saddened by the collapse of the old house's kitchen and bathroom.
Yunping mustered her spirits and cooked a meal of five dishes and a soup for her family.
The news that Lu Sen's house had collapsed and was uninhabitable spread quickly.
After all, as soon as people heard about the heavy rain, many went out to check the condition of their houses and fields.
Naturally, they witnessed the collapse of Lu Sen's house.
With only Lu Sen's family and two other families still inhabited in the entire village, several side rooms collapsed.
The other four collapsed houses had been uninhabited for many years.
The Lu family has become famous once again.
Many villagers felt that Lu Sen's family had encountered too many bad things, and must have been cursed or attracted some unclean spirits.
For example, Anwan.
A wild child picked up after dark in the deep mountains must have been tainted by something unclean.
Grandma Lu might be right; An Wan is indeed a jinx and a plague god.
But many villagers did not expect that Lu Sen's family would find a place to live so quickly.
It was Old Master He who personally invited the Lu family to move into his house.

Lu Jingxing was very excited and happy when he received the call from his second brother.
