352: Chapter 346: Heart-to-Heart Talk 352: Chapter 346: Heart-to-Heart Talk On the sofa, Yong, who had been howling in distress, finally calmed down a bit.
Chen Hai’s lecture had sparked some semblance of life into his vacant, expressionless eyes.
“What use am I in this condition, other than being a burden to my parents?
What else can I do…”
Eventually, he supported his body with his arms and sat up straight on the sofa.
Picking up a pen and paper, he began to scribble and draw.
Seeing him like this, Chen Hai stopped lecturing and watched as his cousin Yong wrote those words on the paper.
“There’s nothing impossible under the sun, it only takes a willing heart!”
“You’ve only lost your legs, don’t you still have your hands?
There’s already quite a bit you can do with just your hands.”
“If you’re willing to put in the effort, you might even make more money than an able-bodied person.”
“In today’s society, what does a physical disability matter?
If you have money, you can still get a beautiful wife!”
“Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle have only you as their sole descendent, the heavy responsibility of carrying on the Huang family name rests on your shoulders.”
“I’ve already called home this afternoon.”
“In two or three days at most, Fourth Aunt and the others should arrive here and take you back home!”
“Don’t think about being a burden to the family, if you want to repay Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle for their kindness, the primary precondition is that you must live well!”
“Back in our hometown, I dare not promise too much, but just finding you a job, that shouldn’t be too difficult for me!”
“If you really need it, don’t be shy with me, just tell me!”
…
Yong’s handwriting was quite neat.
Watching him finish writing a passage on the paper, Chen Hai smiled and spoke.
His promise to Yong wasn’t just empty talk.
After securing the advertisement with CCTV, as Peach Blossom Immortal Brew’s fame spread and sales increased, an expansion of Peach Blossom Wine Industry was inevitable.
Chen Hai spoke up, to arrange a suitable job for Yong at the winery was just a matter of his saying so.
“Once I’m back home, can I really find a proper job?
And earn enough to marry?”
On the blank paper, Yong continued writing.
It seemed that the prospect of getting married was quite attractive to him.
When he heard these two words from Chen Hai, his eyes appeared to brighten.
Watching him, who had usually seemed lifeless, at this moment, he visibly gained a bit more vitality.
Although this change was extremely brief, it had truly happened to Yong.
“Why can’t you earn money and get married?”
“Yong, you just have a disability in both legs and can’t speak, but that doesn’t much affect other functions?” Chen Hai said, giving Yong a roll of his eyes as a joke.
In his view, given Yong’s situation, as long as he had money, there would definitely be women willing to marry him.
Of course, whether such women were more in love with his money or with him was another question.
However, whether it was genuine or not didn’t matter much as long as it didn’t affect Yong’s ability to continue the family line.
“Brother Hai, did you really notify my parents?”
“Yes!
I called them right after I saw you at the Wan Family’s place this afternoon.”
“Did you tell them about my current situation?”
“I called my mother’s shop, I briefly mentioned your condition, but didn’t go into details.”
“I’ll get you a wheelchair to use while Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle haven’t arrived yet, in these couple of days.”
“Take good care of yourself, make yourself look a bit more lively, so that when Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle see you, their mood might improve a bit!”
…
One writing, the other speaking, this way of communicating was admittedly a bit difficult.
However, in Chen Hai’s view, since Yong was willing to communicate, that was good news, and he naturally wouldn’t develop thoughts of impatience.
Around four or five in the morning, Yong finally fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.
Finding a blanket, Chen Hai covered him with it, then went back to his own bedroom.
Because he didn’t know whether Yong was just numbing himself, waiting for him to fall asleep before sneaking away.
Lying on the large bed in his bedroom, Chen Hai slept very lightly.
Luckily, his worries did not come to pass.
During the next two days, Chen Hai’s thoughts revolved primarily around Yong.
Bai Xiaohang, Tian Mingjian, and the others were free to do as they pleased.
With such a large group appearing before Yong, Chen Hai worried it would make him suspicious and possibly give rise to negative thoughts!
Regarding the incidences in the dilapidated house in Sand Well Town, although Yong was carried into a side room after being brought there, he probably knew something!
Regarding why he ended up at Chen Hai’s after being knocked unconscious, Yong had his suspicions, but he tactfully didn’t ask.
Although Chen Hai had already thought of an excuse to explain the situation, since Yong didn’t ask, he naturally didn’t volunteer more information.
Initially, Yong, filthy and disheveled, was quite a sight.
After getting a haircut, washing up, and putting on new clothes he’d bought, then sitting in the wheelchair that Chen Hai had purchased for him, he looked like a completely different person!
This version of him was how Chen Hai remembered him!
However, compared to the somewhat childish Yong of the past, the current Yong seemed much more solemn.
After enduring hardships and inhumane torment, without breaking down mentally and managing to survive, a change in his character was inevitable!
As for whether this change was for better or worse was hard to tell at the moment.
Nevertheless, in Chen Hai’s view, the fact that his cousin was still alive and willing to wait for his parents to take him back was a good thing!
On the third day, Fourth Aunt Jiang Guixian and her husband finally arrived in Shen City.
Because they had never traveled far before
