The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1557 - 1644: Ambition Knows No Bounds

"I know that in your heart, I’m probably someone special to you. But I’m also very clear on this. If at the beginning, what you wanted was a lifetime with one person, then without a doubt, because of our brotherly greed, your originally whole heart was split into six pieces."

"The weight that Third Brother holds in your heart is no less than mine, not one bit lighter. Because your feelings for the two of us... no, I should say, your feelings for the six of us, might be shaped by the differences in our personalities. The things you’ve experienced with each of us are different, like how you’re the most reliant on the Eldest Brother."

"Because in the toughest times, it was you and Eldest Brother who supported each other to get through, this kind of bond forged in adversity is something the others haven’t gone through. So the feelings you have for each of us are completely different, they’re not the same."

"Some things I can see very clearly, I can analyze very thoroughly, but how do I put it?"

"It’s like being a giant in theory, everyone is like this."

"Knowing many great truths, using those truths to lecture others, to give others advice, to remind others, but when some seemingly insignificant matters happen to oneself, then the mindset changes completely. One becomes anxious, distressed, sad, sensitive, and that’s exactly how Third Brother is."

"The more you try to hold onto someone, the more you find that person drifting further away. Perhaps he is actually the most sensitive one in the family?"

At the end, Yixuan sighed softly.

Who knows what he was thinking, but looking at Yixuan’s expression, Dong Huiying felt that he was probably remembering the past, recalling the hard days when the brothers didn’t have enough to eat...

Indeed.

Yixuan spoke with a touch of heartache, "Sometimes, being too clever isn’t necessarily a good thing. Look at Third Brother? When we were young, Eldest Brother was busy with making a living, busy earning money to support the family. I was too young then to help much. It was Third Brother who brought us up, and back then he not only had to take care of Second Brother but also us little ones. Later on, when I was a bit older and could take on some family responsibilities, Third Brother wanted to help take the pressure off Eldest Brother, so he started a business."

"What does it mean to start from scratch? It’s truly starting from scratch. I still remember how Third Brother didn’t take a penny from the family and went to Taihang Town with nothing but bare hands."

"He started by working in the town. Although he never talked about it, think about it. Society isn’t kind to us men—a man showing his face outside, first he has to face people’s remarks, but Third Brother still made it through and earned money. If not for Second Brother falling seriously ill later and those issues with He Su, he might have already made it big."

"But to be honest, back then, he wasn’t like he is now; his thoughts were still pretty pure, just hoping to have enough to eat and drink, to meet the daily needs of the family. Not like now... now, his ambition is boundless."

Dong Huiying asked her question upon hearing this. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You say Shujun’s ambition is boundless?" A faint hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Yixuan nodded gently. "Third Brother told me, you are very dazzling, like the sun in the sky, and he wants to be a little closer to you."
