Bab 983: Crippled?

"If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to provide for Xue Yan's education, Xue Yan's third brother might have joined the army long ago. He wouldn't have gone around doing manual labor just to earn a few bucks for Xue Yan's education. 

"If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to provide for Xue Yan's education, Xue Yan's fourth brother wouldn't have worked as a waiter in an inn for three years just to have a stable income every month. 

"When Xue Yan stopped studying last year, he stopped working as a waiter and dabbled in business… I know that Xue Yan doesn't want them to give up anything for him, and neither do I. Besides, Shao Zhongxi and I would be here too. 

"He can teach Xue Yan martial arts here. The Southern Army could also be transferred here. Even if Xue Yan and I lived here all the time, nothing would happen to us. Besides, the capital city isn't necessarily safe. There might even be assassins in the palace."
