[2] THE LITTLE DARLING WIFE WHO IS A DIVINE DOCTOR SAVED THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Ch 497 - 498

C497: Do you Know What You Mean

"These silver notes are what elder brother has saved from his years of practicing medicine, the amount is not very much, only eight thousand taels. If building such an estate costs too much, many details can be reduced."

He Ziming was not completely ignorant. Not to mention building houses in such a barren place as the northwest, even in the Capital city, eight thousand taels could buy a three-courtyard residence.

It was just that he and Madam He both felt that stained glass windows were very valuable, so they thought the silver might not be enough.

"Elder brother, building an estate like ours wouldn't require so much silver," Lan Er pushed the silver notes back.

"I'll take care of the building, just consider it filial piety from your younger sister to father and mother." He Zhiran, as the eldest son, certainly could not let his younger sister pay for building a house for their parents.

He offered the silver notes again. "Are you looking down on elder brother for not having the ability? Not even having the capacity to build a house for father and mother."

"Elder brother, I didn't mean that. You are father and mother's child, and so am I. Whoever contributes the silver makes no difference. Besides, you're planning to open a medical clinic here, and will need silver to operate it. I earned some silver in the northwest, so just grant me this once to fulfill my filial heart, alright?" He Zhiran firmly refused to take He Ziming's silver notes.

Madam He saw the silver notes going back and forth between the siblings and felt very comforted.

Brotherly love and sisterly deference were fully embodied in them.

In the Capital city, many prominent families had siblings who fought and schemed against each other over more benefits.

Yet her children were both considerate of each other, having such children was her greatest honor in life.

"Alright, stop arguing, you two. Your father and I have also saved up some silver over the years. We'll pay for the building ourselves.

If you really want to be filial, just live your own lives well and cause your father and I less worry. That would be more practical than giving us a mountain of gold and silver."

Madam He's words were already very down-to-earth. What mother doesn't hope for a smooth life for her children to live at ease?

He Zhiran was also not melodramatic. Anyway, building a house wouldn't require that much silver, it didn't matter who paid for it.

"Then listen to mother. I'll have my husband find Master Hu to help starting tomorrow."

To get the house built before winter.

Although they had digressed a bit, He Zhiran had not forgotten about elder brother He Ziming's intentions.

"Elder brother, does Lan Er know your feelings?"

"She doesn't seem to know." He Ziming had never spoken with such little confidence before, clearly he had been thinking it was one-sided all along.

He Zhiran knew Lan Er's personality, and also knew her purpose for coming to the northwest.

If it hadn't been for her and Mo Jiuye stopping her, Lan Er probably wouldn't exist in this world anymore.

After more contact over time, she knew Lan Er's mindset was very firm. Even if Lan Er had feelings for Elder Brother He, she probably wouldn't agree and would keep the promise she made initially.
