Because of this, no one would bully their family anymore.
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he hung his head and didn’t dare to look at his older brother’s expression.
He had surprised Rong Yan with his words, she had talked with him all evening and the kid hadn’t revealed a thing!
But then again, joining the military... was indeed a good thing.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
After quite a while, Qin Ye finally said, "Since you’ve made up your mind, then it’s up to you."
Hearing this, Qin Yu suddenly lifted his head, his face full of surprise, "Big brother, you agree?"
Qin Ye looked at him, "What’s there for me not to agree with? I’m only your brother, not your father. The path you take in the future is one you’ll have to walk on your own."
Rong Yan couldn’t help but twitch her mouth when she heard the ’not your father’ part.
He really was terrible at speaking.
Qin Yu’s smile froze on his face when he heard his brother’s words.
After quite a while, he managed to squeeze out, "...Isn’t there a saying that the eldest brother is like a father?"
"Eldest brother is like a father, that’s an analogy; you should read more books to understand it better," Qin Ye’s eyes sharpened, "So do you intend to rely on me forever?"
Qin Yu:...
Well, no.
"I’m growing up, and I’ll be more impressive than you."
Qin Ye remained unmoved, "That’s impossible. There’s one thing you can’t do, you’ll never be able to marry a wife as outstanding and wonderful as mine."
Qin Yu:... He felt like crying.
Rong Yan, caught off guard by Qin Ye’s words, actually felt a little embarrassed.
She gave him a reproachful look, "Why do you say these things? Although that is true, we shouldn’t say it in front of him; he’s still a kid."
Qin Yu:...
Right, he shouldn’t be here.
He quickly grabbed his homework, "I’m going to sleep."
If he stayed any longer, he was going to get goosebumps.
Indeed, as the old saying goes, what kind of pot fits what kind of lid.
His brother and sister-in-law were exactly the kinds that matched perfectly.
Watching Qin Yu leave, Rong Yan then said to Qin Ye with a smile, "I didn’t expect the boy to be quite ambitious."
Qin Ye nodded, "Yeah, that’s good!"
Rong Yan noticed the tiredness in his eyes, "Alright, it’s late, go freshen up and get to bed early."
"Okay." Qin Ye acknowledged, aware of the smell on him, "I’ll go right now."
"I’ll get your clothes for you." Rong Yan walked out to get them.
Qin Ye watched her departing figure, his eyes filled with tenderness.
This was the difference between having a wife and not having one. If he had known earlier, no one would have taken care of him like this or fetched clothes for him.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that in the details of daily life... he had done even more himself.
***
The next day, Qin Ye got up and saw that his wife was also awake, so he leaned over to kiss her face, "Wife, you sleep some more. As for the school, you don’t have to go, I can handle it. I’ll talk to them."
Rong Yan looked at him, "Okay."
It wasn’t a big deal anyway. Qin Ye could explain it all himself; she was feeling too lazy to be bothered.
Qin Ye was quite reluctant to leave the soft jade and warm fragrance, but he quickly got out of bed, not daring to hesitate, for he feared he really wouldn’t want to leave.
He dressed and went out.
Tie Zhu’s wife rose early in the morning. She felt a little embarrassed staying there, so she got up early to clean the yard and such.
Seeing Qin Ye come out, she hurriedly greeted, "Qin Ye, good morning."
Qin Ye gave a slight nod, then headed for the kitchen.
"Alright then! We should go."
Principal Du was anxious for Qin Yu, thinking if it were his own child... he would have taken him straight to the sports school. What does a half-grown kid know?
The main issue was that Qin Yu’s grades didn’t seem particularly good. The boy didn’t love his studies, so going to the sports school could possibly be the best choice for him.
"Director Shu, if he changes his mind in the future, would you still want him?"
After all, it was good to leave a door open for the kid. Who knows, he might change his mind in a few days.
"Yes," Director Shu added, "but it can’t be too late."
"Of course," Principal Du immediately responded.
"Alright, we’re leaving." He still had to take the train back today. Seeing Principal Du looking ready to escort him out, he waved his hands, "No need, we can go by ourselves."
After saying this, he and Liu Shanquan left together.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu, who was sitting near the classroom window, felt restless. When he saw the two men leave, his suspensions finally fell.
Good that they left.
Otherwise, if his brother got convinced, wouldn’t he have to go too?
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and after Rong Yan finished treating Tie Zhu, she let them take him home to recuperate.
Tie Zhu’s wife knew they were leaving today, so she had packed up everything the night before.
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Tie Zhu said sincerely. "If it weren’t for you today, my life would have been over."
Before he was married, he used to call her sister-in-law directly, but now he knew how his wife would call her, so he changed his way.
"No need to be polite. You and Qin Ye are brothers. Since I came across this, I couldn’t just watch it happen."
Tie Zhu took out the money he had prepared, "Brother is brother, affection is affection, but the medical expenses must be paid. I know the medicine you used is very precious, so although the amount might be a bit small, you must accept it."
Last night he had his wife bring two hundred yuan from home.
Rong Yan: "No need, there’s no need for that..."
"It’s a must, you have to take it," Tie Zhu insisted, placing it on one side.
