As all three siblings grew up to own land, they all managed to become successful people. They all had different interests, but still found success due to their hard work and perseverance. All three of them were known to be economic powerhouses in their respective fields. Hong, however, became the richest child among them because of his field of interest and dedication. They were finally happy due to their success. “Time to write in my blog again!” “Woo! My stocks have grown!” “Finally, a break!” They got what they wanted. “A donation for my blog? Oh, this is a wonderful day!” “My clients are all satisfied! What a week!” “I’m finally getting a lot of clients!” Hong sat on the roof of his house. “Look at how much I’ve grown… If I didn’t run away, who knows what could’ve happened to me…” Ring, Ring! “A phone call? From… Jie Jie? Hello, what do you need me for? I need to hurry and go back to- Why?! ...What did you say? ...Okay, I’ll leave soon. See you there.” Hong flew back and met Mau, and the both of them headed to the hospital. Gong saw them and they shared a bittersweet moment as they hugged each other. “Di Di, Mei Mei, you’ve come back!” he cried. “I’m sorry,” Hong replied, still clutching onto his siblings. “Hi, children,” Mrs. Zhong said weakly. “What happened to you, Ma?” Mau tenderly asked the fragile old lady. “She got a bit sick. It’s not really serious, though,” explained Gong. “It’ll take a while for her to recover according to the doctors. Ma, we will take some time outside. Is that okay?” Mrs. Zhong nodded her head and the three adults headed outside. They used some time to make small talk. Mau and Hong found out that Gong had passed down his intelligence to his nine children. The three siblings were catching up with all the years that they had missed out on, discovering details about each other that they would never have guessed. After a few days, it was time for Hong and Mau to go back to their respective homes, but they didn’t want to leave Gong. Fortunately, the three shared their contact information so that they could still communicate with one another. Most importantly, they could still be together, even though they were in different places. Given the respective success each sibling had found, they decided to work together to further develop their land and their industries: each of the kin brought a different set of skills to help each other. The two brothers focussed on generating trade and developing the economy of each area while Mau fervently promoted tourism and shared the success of the three regions through her blog. The passion and skills that the siblings had made them an unstoppable trio.
