"You bunch of robbers! I only borrowed 20,000 yuan, why do you want me to pay back 100,000 after only three years? You're worse than loan sharks!" Xiao Ride's angry voice came from downstairs.
"Me, a loan shark? We could say it's a case of willing buyer, willing seller! Who told you not to ask clearly about what I said back then?" Cai Laowu's voice was very loud, filled with unconcealed smugness.
"Cai Laowu, the Xiao family would rather sleep in the open than marry our sister to your idiotic son! Drop that idea!" It was Xiao Jiahao speaking, and he seemed a little exasperated at the moment, wishing he could bite Cai Laowu in front of him.
"Sleep in the open? Do you think your dilapidated house is worth 100,000 yuan? Even if you really move out, this matter isn't over. You might as well consider my suggestion and marry your little sister into my Cai family. Not only will she live a good life, but it will also provide money for your medical treatment. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation? When that happens, our two families will be relatives. In these few villages, wouldn't your Xiao family become influential figures?" Cai Laowu said smugly.
Zhang Yuze found this person's voice extremely annoying, but he still didn't come out, wanting to hear what else Cai Laowu or Xiao Ride had to say.
Xiao Ride was now really in a difficult position. If he really followed Cai Laowu's character, his family would probably never have a peaceful day.
"I... If I really marry into your family, can you really help my brother with his medical treatment?" At this moment, a weak but very pleasant voice rang out.
This voice belonged to none other than Xiao Jiahao's younger sister, Xiao Haiyan.
Not only Xiao Ride and his son, but even Cai Laowu was somewhat surprised, but then overjoyed, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you marry my son, we'll be one family. I will definitely be responsible for your brother's illness until the end."
"Haiyan, what are you saying? Even if this hand of mine is permanently crippled, I can't have you sacrifice yourself to exchange for its health. If you do that, won't I be uneasy for the rest of my life?" Xiao Jiahao roared, his eyes wide and bloodshot as he looked at Xiao Haiyan.
"Brother... but I can't watch you continue like this. I really hope your hand can get better, so you can be healthy in the future. I also can't watch Dad, at his age, still having to sleep on the streets. If sacrificing myself can bring stability to the family, I think it's worth it," Xiao Haiyan said in her delicate and soft, yet timid but firm voice.
Zhang Yuze's heart was shaken. He hadn't known how to write the word 'moved' for a long time. He never thought that today he would actually be moved by a girl who was not yet 16 years old. His heart warmed, and he knew that he could no longer sit idly by and had to stand up.
Xiao Ride also sighed helplessly. On one side was his son, and on the other was his daughter. He didn't know what to do. But seeing that his daughter had made a decision, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
