"They meant they could not live in the house, but they wanted an actual appraisal to determine the money. They even threatened my father that if he didn't pay, they couldn't guarantee they would harm the children."
"Fuck you!" Lu Jiaming erupted in anger again. "We live in a society ruled by law. Do they really think they're above the law?!"
"And then?" Lu Jiayang asked in a deep voice, "Did Dad really give in?"
"Dad isn't a coward, he just doesn't dare to gamble." Lu Zixiao's eyes showed a trace of fatigue. "He said that we have many children, including Mom, and they are all his weaknesses. He can't bear to lose any of them, so he would rather spend money."
"I now understand why my aunt and uncle refused to sue from the beginning to the end."
Lu Ziyi's usual gentle expression disappeared at this moment, and his voice became stern. "They also know that they will not win in court. It is better to threaten Dad with our lives directly. The effect will be much faster than a lawsuit."
"Yes, so when Xiaobao disappeared, his parents first suspected them," Lu Zixiao said, "but they denied it, and there was no evidence. Even the police couldn't find any clues related to them. I don't know if they hid it too well or if it really had nothing to do with them."
"But for us at that time, finding Xiaobao was the most important thing."
"My parents originally gave them some money every year, and paid it all off over the next few years. But the year Xiaobao disappeared, they didn't give any. When they came to ask for the money, my dad made an agreement with them."
"After two years, we will pay it back in full, owe nothing to each other, and have no further dealings."
Lu Yuxuan sighed heavily: "Not being able to find Xiaobao for those two years was already heartbreaking enough, but I didn't expect his parents to have to bear such great pressure. How did they get through it?"
"Maybe it's because they love you," Li Mingyang said, "the uncles and aunts use money to ward off disasters. They just want you to live safely. They don't want you to get wet in any rain or wind."
"Wait..." Lu Jiayang suddenly realized something was wrong. "Brother, you just said that the agreement states that all repayments will be made in two years? Does it start from the year Xiaobao disappeared?"
"Yes, that's right," said Lu Zixiao.
"Isn't the next two years this year?" Lu Jiayang's eyes widened. "How do I pay it back? What will I use to pay it back?"
Lu Zixiao raised his head and looked at them with a firm look in his eyes, "I will return it."
