Chapter 227 - 227 A Balanced Life
227 A Balanced Life
“The doctor said that Little Seven only needs to have bed rest for about a week, then he will be able to walk freely like a normal person.” Chu Huan was still staring at his phone screen, saying this without even raising his head.
“This child, was your brother not a normal person before?” Mrs. Chu, who was tidying up her clothes on the balcony, immediately retorted after hearing Chu Huan’s answer.
Chu Huan glanced at the balcony and didn’t dare to answer back. He mumbled to himself for a while before continuing, “Dad, why are you so slow? I’m about to starve to death.”
“Yes, just as Fourth Brother said, I still have to be on bed rest for a week,” Chu Zhang said with some regret.
“It’s only a week, Seventh Brother. You’ve bore with it for so many years, so a few more days won’t make a difference.” Chu Ning could hear the anxiety in Chu Zhang’s voice and immediately tried to coax him.
“Little Seven, you have to listen to the doctor. You must wait for a few days. You don’t want your sister to worry about you, do you?” Chu Jing also spoke slowly.
“Yes, I understand all of this. I will listen to the doctor. However, there’s a saying that I’m not sure if you’ve heard of.” Chu Zhang looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.
“What?” Chu Ning was also curious.
“If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness. If Chu Ning hadn’t given me the chance to stand up again, I probably wouldn’t long to stand up and move around as much as I do now.”
“Oh my, I didn’t expect Seventh Brother to be so learned even though he’s in the hospital. I’m so envious,” Chu Ning immediately praised.
“Little Seven, I didn’t expect you to be so sentimental.” Second brother, Chu Jing, also looked strangely at his brother lying on the hospital bed. For a person like him who liked to study code, it was difficult to appreciate and resonate with these philosophical words.
“Seventh Brother, what do you plan to do after you’re discharged, like what you said before?” Chu Ning remembered that her seventh brother, Chu Zhang, was very interested in studying medicine. She was wondering if she could help Chu Zhang.
“Yes, I met a professor from a medical university online. After I’m discharged, I’ll look for him. The professor intends to let me be his assistant,” Chu Zhang said frankly.
After his body regained its freedom, he could throw himself into the profession he loved.
The ward was not very spacious. The Chu family, including Chu Ning, sat around the table, having dinner and chatting. Everyone was very happy. The surgery had been very successful. Although Chu Zhang couldn’t eat with them yet, he was already contented that these relatives could stay by his side.
After dinner, Mrs. Chu took a few days off to stay with Chu Zhang until he could be discharged. Chu Ning and the rest had their own matters to attend to the next day. They said their goodbyes and left the hospital, returning to the Chu family home.
The following morning, Chu Ning woke up early. Ever since she decided to expand her own business, she woke up at a certain time without needing an alarm clock.
The first thing that Chu Ning wanted to settle after waking was a headache about what type of image she should portray when she met with the other distributors from Qinghe village.
Although Chu Ning and Wen An had met a few times, she had always appeared without makeup. Chu Ning was very beautiful, but she felt that her beauty would cause some misunderstandings. After all, one’s intellect was the most important thing in doing business.
“Forget it, I don’t want to think too much. I’ll bring Zhang Bo with me. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just be his assistant again. Why shouldn’t I put on makeup? It’s nothing to be ashamed about.”
Chu Ning tousled her messy hair. She felt that other than being younger and better looking, her intelligence was enough to crush those distributors.
“You’ve been working with Qinghe village for so many years, but are still stuck at this stage. It seems like your abilities are only so-so.”
After washing up, Chu Ning looked at herself in the mirror in her room. She picked up a black barrette from the table and wore it in her hair. Then, she left home with her school bag in satisfaction.
When she arrived at the entrance of Jingyuan High School, Chu Ning was surprised to see Yan Shen walking slowly from the bus stop.
Yan Shen’s style of dressing was no different from before, but the difference was that his personality had changed.
Chu Ning had already had this feeling in B City, and now she was even more certain of her intuition.
“Could it be that this guy is like me, transmigrating from another world?” Chu Ning immediately rejected this unrealistic idea.
