Han Luoxue almost laughed out of anger; it was the first time she had ever encountered such an unreasonable person.
"You said yourself that you are their only son, so it's your duty to take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days, right?"
Han Luoxue looked at him coldly and continued, "They were seriously ill, so I brought them here for treatment. Now both of them have almost recovered. As their only son, I have an indispensable responsibility to take care of them in their old age. Shouldn't you be the one to cover the expenses during this time?"
Chi Hongcai? What is that? Why do we need him to pay?
"The cost of treatment, plus living expenses for the past few days, how about I have them estimate it for you, and then you can see when they can send it to me?"
Chi Hongcai hurriedly shook his head. He came to ask for money, not to give away money.
"Oh dear, Xue girl, what are you saying? Although they are my parents, they are also your mother's parents. Children have an obligation to support them, and that can't all be my responsibility!"
Chi Hongcai was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand, knowing that he couldn't control Han Luoxue when it came to the two old people's care. He hurriedly put on a pitiful expression: "Xue girl, your uncle is in trouble, your uncle is suffering. Your uncle has encountered a problem. Your uncle knows that you are a capable person. Do you think you can help your uncle?"
“My uncle had some money on hand a while ago. You know the Chi family's situation right now; we can't just sit around and do nothing for long. My uncle was thinking of the family's future, so he wanted to make some money, but…”
"Having no other choice, my uncle had to borrow some money from outside. Only after borrowing did I find out that it was actually loan sharking. Xue'er, you are my dear niece, and I'm your only uncle. You wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you?"
"Yes!" Han Luoxue said calmly.
Chi Hongcai left his prepared words there, inwardly cursing how annoying this brat was, completely impervious to reason.
“But this is just a small favor for you, but it would be fatal for your uncle’s family. Your uncle has several younger cousins. They are young, and the loan sharks have said that if they can’t pay back the money here, they will sell them all.”
"Snow Girl, you're their older sister, you wouldn't just stand by and watch them get sold, would you?"
"You're their father! If you could get them sold off, what can't I do?"
Chi Hongcai was speechless again. This Han Luoxue was really too difficult to deal with. He now understood that he couldn't gain any advantage over Han Luoxue at all. Chi Hongcai shouted loudly, "Father, Mother, come out quickly! Your grandchildren are about to be sold! Aren't you going to come out right now?!"
"Do you really want your family line to end? If they are all sold, our Chi family line will be wiped out."
Chi Hongcai shouted loudly, and the whole courtyard could hear him clearly. The two elderly people resting in the backyard also heard him.
Madam Chi's eyes darkened: "This unfilial son, he actually wants to sell his child!"
"We can't control it, so let's not go!"
Grandpa Chi sighed and said helplessly, "Think about it, this son has already grown up like this. Even if we ask Xue'er for help this time, what about next time, and the time after that?"
"We've already wronged Yunniang and the others. If we help them this time, we'll probably be doing them endless favors in the future. Chi Hongcai will really be a burden to Yunniang and the others for the rest of their lives!"
Madam Chi sighed, "But those children are innocent!"
"How many more times can we stop them?" He was also saddened. If possible, he would like to bring his children with him.
But thinking about Yunniang and Han Luoxue, I'd better give up on this idea.
They're already a burden, why bring along a few more kids?
"No, we didn't hear anything..."
Sure enough, Chi Hongcai's voice disappeared after only a short while.
After a while, Han Luoxue slowly walked in. Both of them looked unwell, and Old Madam Chi hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, Xue'er, we've caused you trouble!"
They hadn't expected Chi Hongcai to find them so quickly. If her son had focused on his career, the Chi family would have flourished long ago.
"I'm fine here, but Chi Hongcai owes money to loan sharks. If he can't pay it back, those people might really take his child away!"
As she said this, Han Luoxue did not forget to observe the expressions of the two old people. They looked ashen-faced, and it seemed that they still could not bear it.
"What do you plan to do?" Han Luoxue was not familiar with those people, especially the children, whom she had never met before, let alone had any feelings for.
As a mother of two, if she were in her child's shoes, she would also feel uneasy.
"We're both old and not very capable anymore, so let him handle his own affairs."
Madam Chi felt very sad when she said this, but she knew it was the best solution.
She couldn't let Yunniang's family suffer.
"Okay, I understand!"
Han Luoxue smiled and comforted them, "Just relax and stay here. Don't worry, he can't do anything to us. My father will be here later."
Han Luoxue was surprised to find Chi Hongcai waiting for her outside when she went out.
"Little Xue, I'm your uncle. Besides, I'm capable, you have to believe me. I have a great talent for business, don't worry. Just give me a shop, and I'll definitely make money to pay you back!"
"I know you own several shops. We're relatives, blood relatives. You wouldn't really abandon your uncle to his fate, would you?"
“Those people are all heartless and insane; he really will kill my uncle’s entire family!”
Chi Hongcai kept talking. Having met Han Luoxue a few times, he knew that Han Luoxue was not a patient person, and he had to say everything he wanted to say.
Unfortunately, he didn't have many chips to play.
"Give you a shop?" Han Luoxue was so angry she laughed. "Are you sure the shop will survive once it's in your hands? I bet you've already embezzled all the money in it!"
Chi Hongcai...is he that kind of person?
"Get lost! Stay away from me from now on. If you come any closer, don't blame me for being rude..."
Han Luoxue's expression turned cold, and her voice carried a hint of anger.
Chi Hongcai was startled. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Han Luoxue was indeed terrifying when she was angry.
While he was still in a daze, Han Luoxue's carriage had already left.
"That brat! Her family is so rich, yet she won't help me at all! I'm her own uncle!"
"Doesn't she think about who will stand up for her if she suffers grievances in her husband's family in the future?"
