However, this time it was different from those calls that were simply out of curiosity or to offer congratulations.
The caller was Han Yunqi's uncle, Han Shigang.
They first exchanged a few pleasantries with Han Yunqi, just like other relatives, and then got down to business.
Han Shigang was not good with words and didn't mince words. He said directly, "Yunqi, your uncle is shameless enough to ask you for help. Your good-for-nothing brother has a girlfriend and is determined to marry her. She's asking for a dowry of 300,000 yuan... Don't worry, your uncle will write you an IOU and will definitely pay you back later."
After hanging up the phone, both Han Yunqi and Tang Xiaoxiao sighed in unison.
Han Yunqi felt that his younger brother was a bit blinded by love.
Even when he fell in love with Tang Xiaoxiao at first sight, he worked hard on his own in silence and never thought of forcing his parents or borrowing money to win the girl's heart.
In his view, Han Yunlong's actions were simply immature.
Tang Xiaoxiao thought about it even more.
In his previous life, Han Yunlong married a completely different woman. If there is any difference between this life and the original trajectory, then the biggest change is between her and Han Yunqi.
In his past life, Han Yunqi was still helping out at his family's building materials market. He didn't have much savings, so he couldn't help him either.
Three hundred thousand yuan isn't a huge sum for a wealthy person, but it's not a small amount either; it could very well be a lifetime's savings for an ordinary family. So, even if Han Yunlong in his previous life had considered borrowing money, he probably would have had no one to turn to for help.
Things are different now. She and Han Yunqi donated five million yuan to the disaster area, which must have given Han Yunlong more confidence.
If they can give away so much money to people in disaster areas who have no relatives or friends, then it shouldn't be too difficult for Han Yunlong, who is Han Yunqi's cousin, to borrow a few hundred thousand.
Han Yunqi had previously said he would lend the money as long as his uncle agreed, so Han Yunlong probably thought that Han Yunqi wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, and he was more likely to convince his own father, so he brought it up with his uncle.
The facts were almost exactly as Tang Xiaoxiao had guessed.
Han Yunlong knew his family's financial situation; they hadn't even saved enough for a down payment on a house for his wedding—300,000 yuan—even if they sold everything they owned.
So he didn't dare tell his parents about his girlfriend's family asking for so much money. He only dared to ask Han Yunqi privately to see if he could help them secretly.
However, Han Yunqi made it clear that his father's approval was required, and Han Yunlong almost gave up on this path.
But what did he see at that moment? His second cousin and his wife donated five million yuan worth of supplies to the disaster area!
Five million.
If he could have this money, what else would he have to worry about?
Han Yunlong's eyes nearly turned red when he saw the news.
His father was timid and had no ambition in his life, but he was content with the status quo. He would never agree to lend money without even thinking about it. Did he think that the money would be returned?
But now... Han Yunlong suddenly realized that borrowing money doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay it back.
Three hundred thousand is nothing to his second brother; it's just a drop in the ocean!
It's like him casually buying his friend a pack of cigarettes for thirty yuan. Did he expect the other person to pay him back?
He only knew that his second cousin was rich and successful, but he never imagined that he could be this rich.
Thinking of his beloved girlfriend crying, he finally mustered up the courage to knock on his parents' bedroom door.
Parents can never truly win against their children.
Han Yunlong was determined to marry no one but that woman, and Han Shigang and his wife eventually gave in.
