303 Worth It

His eldest aunt’s youngest son, Zhou Yukui, was an especially smart kid. However, that intelligence was not used in his studies. He jumped up around every day. One moment, he wanted to be a soldier, the next moment, he wanted to be a celebrity. Recently, he had heard that he was addicted to online games… Every time he took an exam, his results would hover around the passing mark. He was often beaten up by his big aunt. However, that kid was carefree. He was a classic example of someone who forgot the pain after a scar healed. He still continued doing whatever he wanted after sleeping. He would probably end his student career after graduating from high school.

“You still have the cheek to talk about Kui? Isn’t that the same for you?” Han Baozhu glanced at his son. “If only you could study hard…”

“Father, it’s fine as long as my sister is a university student. I’m not cut out for studying. I’m sleepy just from reading. I can’t work hard even if I want to.” Han Xiangdong hurriedly interrupted his father’s nagging. “Besides, I have a good sister. Many university students might not be better than me, right?”

“You’re still so smug…”

“Dad.” Le Yao hurriedly blocked Han Baozhu’s hand that was about to raise his chopsticks. “Don’t be angry. My brother is right. Look, my brother is handsome and has a house now. Many people from famous universities might not even be as well-off as my brother. How long do you think they have to work hard to build a house?”

“That’s all because of you…”

“Father, it’s his advantage to have a sister who’s willing to support him.”

“You silly girl.” Han Baozhu was caught between laughter and tears. “Other older brothers are protecting their sisters, but you…”

“You’ve always protected me when I was young.” Le Yao smiled. “If I hadn’t met you back then, I might have broken my arms and legs and begged somewhere now. Or my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys might have been dug out…”

“Pfft, how can it be that scary?” Liu Sujuan hurriedly waved her hand. “Stop talking nonsense.”

“Madam, these words are really not nonsense.” Sister Mei brought out the last bowl of soup and looked at Liu Sujuan seriously. “An eight-year-old child in our village was stolen. Later, her mother met a mute disabled beggar on the street and found it strange. That beggar cried when he saw her. Only then did she realize that she was the daughter she had lost for five years. Later, she called the police. Although the case was solved, the child was poisoned mute after she was captured. Then, her legs were broken and she hung around her neck. She was placed on the street to beg every day.”

“Those people are really heartless.” Liu Sujuan frowned.

“That’s right. Even if they found such a daughter, there’s nothing else but pain.” Sister Mei sighed.

“So, Father, Mother, look. It’s precisely because you’re kind that I avoided the fate of hanging my legs and begging. I’m so beautiful. It would be a pity if I were really disabled.” Le Yao picked up a piece of food for Liu Sujuan.

“You’re thick-skinned.” Liu Sujuan smiled.

“Father, Mother, it’s only right for me to treat you well now. Don’t feel embarrassed. Besides, my brother has a good character. It’s worth it for me to treat him well, right, Brother?” Le Yao winked at Han Xiangdong.

Han Xiangdong smiled, his heart warm.

“Kid, don’t just laugh.” Han Baozhu glared at his son. “The good things in this world are mutual. Don’t think that your sister is obligated to treat you well. If you dare to be an ingrate, I can whip you to death even with a walking stick. At that time, I’d rather have no son than have a heartless son like you…”
