Zuo Danqing shook her head with tears in her eyes, feeling so miserable that she couldn't express it.
He is already very old. Seeing that his son and daughter are working, he can finally retire and enjoy a peaceful life. However, he didn't expect that he would go bankrupt at the last minute. How will he live in the future?
"I feel sorry for you guys about this matter, Dad. Don't worry, even if I go out to pick up scraps, I will still take care of you in your old age." Sang Tianen said with a guilty look on his face.
Sang Muyang's mood also became depressed, and he comforted her: "Sister, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to make a comeback."
Sang Tianen shook his head. "I don't have any capital at the moment. I can't sell the house I'm getting married in to invest in stocks, can I? Besides, the most important thing right now is to return the money to my classmates. They're still waiting to get married."
"Yangyang, I'm really unlucky this time. If you and Xiao Qiao have enough money, could you please pay me back the money you owe me first? I'm sure I can make a profit in the stock market."
Sang Muyang disagreed and shook her head, "Sister, I can return the money to you, but you really can't trade stocks anymore. It's harmful."
Sang Tianen said impatiently, "Do you understand or do I? I'm sure I can make several times the money. Let Xiao Qiao return the money to me first."
Zuo Danqing wiped her tears and said, "Tian'en, your brother is right. If you continue like this, what's the difference between you and those gamblers? You have a boyfriend now, so stop it."
"Stop?" Sang Tianen sneered, his eyes filled with resentment. "If I stop now, who will help me pay back the one million? Do I have to ask my whole family to go without food and drink to help me pay it back?"
"Tian'en, if you promise dad that you won't trade stocks anymore, your mom and I will work hard for a few more years to help you pay back the money." Zuo Danqing said earnestly.
"How many years is a few years? Business is not doing well right now. If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely poke me in the back."
Sang Tianen turned to Qiao Sirui, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Xiao Qiao, since you are willing to marry my brother, we will be a family from now on. Please return the money you gave me before."
As he said this, he walked up to her and searched her trouser pocket.
Qiao Sirui was startled by her sudden action and looked at Sang Muyang helplessly. Sang Muyang quickly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Yangyang, please move aside. It's only natural to pay back debts. Xiao Qiao just said she would pay me back. I'm just taking back the money that belongs to me." Sang Tianen pushed him away.
Zuo Danmei was also frightened by Sang Tianen's anxious look. Although her daughter had a bad temper, she was always reasonable. Why did she act like a desperate gambler now?
He also went to pull her arm and said, "Tian En, calm down. Xiao Qiao is a customer. How could you steal her money? Xiao Yan is still taking a shower upstairs. What would she think of you if she saw it?"
This sentence was like triggering the stop button on the remote control, and Sang Tianen really stopped moving.
However, not long after, she went to search her trouser pockets again, and while doing so, she said anxiously: "Don't tell Yan Zheng about this. Men nowadays are very realistic. If he knew that I was a pauper, he would definitely run away immediately."
Zuo Danqing nodded quickly: "Don't say it, don't say it. It's not easy to marry a son-in-law now. If you scare him away, no one will be willing to follow you in the future. Can you let go first?"
"Sang Tianen, are you crazy?" Sang Muyang looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Is this still his sister? She looked just like the gambler on TV who had lost everything.
Sang Tianen ignored him, holding the wrinkled passbook, panting and said, "Xiao Qiao, I have this passbook. Besides paying back my money, the rest is the betrothal gift for you to marry my brother."
"Sister?" Qiao Sirui's pretty face was pale as she stared at her blankly, looking very pitiful and innocent.
"Good sister, come with me to the bank tomorrow to transfer the money to me, okay?" Sang Tianen raised half an eyebrow and patted her face.
"Okay, okay." Qiao Sirui nodded with a look of horror.
"Sister, are you crazy?" Sang Muyang waved her hand away, staring at her with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. "Do you know that you are already on the edge of a cliff? If you continue like this, you will be ruined."
Sang Tianen's eyes darkened. "Brother and sister, let's be clear about the accounts. My family raised you up and spent money on sending you to various training classes. Now that you've finally started working, I have to recoup some of the costs, right?"
Sang Muyang bit his lip, staring at the strange woman in front of him. After thinking for a few seconds, he said slowly, "You should return the money to Sirui first. I will sell the little pumpkin you bought me before. I should be able to raise some money to pay off the debt."
"My dear brother, it's no wonder that I love you so much." Sang Tianen smiled and said, "It's a pity that cars are a negative asset. I don't think your car can be sold for more than tens of thousands of yuan."
"Yangyang." Qiao Sirui's eyelids trembled twice, and she said softly, "Give this money to your sister. We have saved enough for Dad's surgery."
Before Sang Muyang could respond, the sound of slippers tapping on the floor was suddenly heard from inside the house.
Yan Zheng walked out and looked at the gathered Sang family members and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sang Tianen was the first to react. His expression changed, and he put the passbook into his trouser pocket. He walked forward, put his arm around his waist and said with a smile, "Nothing. It's rare for a family to get together, so let's just chat."
Zuo Danqing wiped his eyes and nodded, "Xiaoyan, what do you want to eat tonight? Uncle will buy it for you."
Yan Zheng smiled lightly and said politely, "I'm not picky about food, uncle, don't worry."
Sang Tianen winked at Zuo Danqing, then said to Yan Zheng, "Why did you come down? You don't usually take a shower this fast."
Of course I'm worried about you, Yan Zheng said in his heart, but said softly: "It's just a quick shower."
At this time, Sang Rou, who had gone out to buy braised dishes, also came back on her electric scooter. When she saw everyone standing neatly at the door, she thought they were arguing again and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just some emotional communication with dad, brother and future sister-in-law." Sang Tianen said loudly with an impeccable smile on his face, but his eyes glanced at Qiao Sirui intentionally or unintentionally.
Qiao Sirui pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and stared at her canvas shoes that had been washed so hard that they turned white. Her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her eye sockets, making it impossible to tell what her emotions were.
After dinner, Sang Tianen took Yan Zheng for a walk. There were many plants and trees in the countryside, so there were more mosquitoes.
Halfway through the walk, the delicate and tender Yan Zheng was covered in bites. Sang Tianen had no choice but to bring him back.
As I reached the door, I heard laughter.
In the main room, Sang Muyang, Qiao Sirui, and Sang's father and mother were sitting around the table playing cards.
Sang Tianen's face suddenly darkened.
