"Little sister, we are all your brother's closest friends, not those bad guys, so don't worry," Chen Jialong said to the young woman, feigning kindness.
However, perhaps because Chen Jialong looked so much like a villain, the young woman shrank back behind the uncle, which seemed to strike a blow to Chen Jialong's ego.
The uncle led Zhang Yuze and the others into the house. Seeing the dilapidated state of the interior, Zhang Yuze and his friends were puzzled. Along the way, although this was a small mountain village, the families all seemed to be doing well. Why was Jiahao's home so different? It wasn't until the uncle noticed their confusion that he sighed and explained the reason.
Three years ago, Xiao Jiahao's hand was cut, severing the tendons. However, Xiao Ride still couldn't bear to see his son crippled, so he sought medical treatment everywhere, spending a lot of money. His arm wasn't healed, but they were almost destitute. Helpless, Xiao Ride borrowed 20,000 yuan from Cai Laowu in the neighboring village. After three years, that 20,000 yuan had turned into 100,000 yuan. Xiao Ride only found out about this a few days ago when he went to repay the money.
The two had an argument about this. However, the Cai family was powerful, and Xiao Ride couldn't do anything about it. But when the Cai family came to their door the day before yesterday, they found out that they were actually after his daughter. As long as he agreed to marry his daughter to Cai's mentally challenged son, they would not only write off the money he owed but also give him 50,000 yuan to treat his son's illness. But how could Xiao Ride let his daughter marry Cai Laowu's mentally challenged son? Wouldn't his daughter's life be ruined?
"Why not call the police? The police should take care of this, right?" Zhang Yuze asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You think I didn't think of that? But the Cai family's eldest son is the mayor of this town, and the police will also favor them. That's why no one dares to provoke the Cai family. Moreover, the Cai family's other brothers are very powerful in the neighboring villages, especially Cai Laowu, who is the most arrogant and domineering," Xiao Ride said with a sigh, his face full of worry.
"Dad! If it really doesn't work, then just marry me over there! For the sake of my brother's hand being healed, I'm willing..." Xiao Haiyan's pretty face was covered in tears.
Zhang Yuze's heart was filled with anger, and he also felt very guilty. The Xiao family had ended up like this, and their relationship was a big part of it.
"Don't worry! Little sister, we will help you," Jin Gang said, clenching his fists tightly, obviously very angry.
Chen Jialong, Du Tianfang, Su Jianxin, and the others also felt indignant. They didn't expect their brother's family to encounter such a shameful thing.
Zhang Yuze had already made a decision in his heart that he must take care of this matter. As if thinking of something, Zhang Yuze asked Xiao Ride with a puzzled expression, "Uncle, where's Jiahao? Why haven't I seen him?"
A trace of shame flashed across Xiao Ride's face, and he shook his head and said, "Jiahao and his mother have both gone to work in the mines, day and night, all for the sake of this family!" He obviously felt very helpless that his son had lost an arm and still had to work so hard.
