Tan Lanlan felt a little flustered under his gaze and involuntarily took a half step back. Then, as if she had thought of something, she mustered up her courage and said, "Is it my fault? My father broke his leg and needs money for surgery. I am his daughter, and you are his son-in-law. Shouldn't we take care of him? I married you, but does that mean I am no longer my father's daughter? My mother-in-law was so angry that she went to the hospital because I wanted to treat my father's illness. How can this be reasonable?"
"Or do you also think that I've been sold to your family, that it's only right for me to be a slave, and that I can never be filial to my own parents again?" Tan Lanlan looked at Han Yunlong with some hurt.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.
Given Han Yunlong's usual tolerance towards his wife, he would probably surrender again if Tan Lanlan spoke like that.
Sure enough, Han Yunlong's anger subsided instantly, and he softened his tone, saying, "How can you be so unreasonable? Don't you know how I've treated you all these years? Aren't you ashamed to say such things?"
“What's the use of you being good to me? We didn't even have a new house after our wedding, and my mother-in-law always looks down on me… I accept all of that, I don't mind suffering for you, but my dad is waiting for me to save him, and it's been two days already. My mom even called this morning to urge me…”
"Didn't we give your family 300,000 yuan before we got married? It's only been three years and it's all gone?" Han Yunlong wasn't completely stupid after all, and asked with narrowed eyes.
Tan Lanlan reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her voice suddenly becoming shrill: "You're bringing up that 300,000 again! Didn't I say my dad was sick then, and my brother was going to college? What doesn't cost money? What can 300,000 do? It's all gone by now! I didn't force you when I gave you the money, it was your own choice, but you keep bringing it up, is that really meaningful? It's one thing for my mother-in-law to bring it up all the time, but now she's bringing it up with you too!"
"I didn't mention it because I trust you and don't want to doubt you!" Han Yunlong wasn't intimidated anymore, his voice even louder than hers: "You only said your dad was sick, what kind of sickness? We've been married for three years, and I still don't know where your family lives. I haven't even met your parents! And your younger brother, he's in college, can't he go and work to earn his own living expenses? If he doesn't have the means, why does he expect someone to support him? Do you think I didn't go to college? How much money can a student spend in a year besides tuition?"
“How could my brother go to work! He is the hope of our whole family. We have never let him do a single job since he was a child. You actually said that he should earn his own living expenses? Is this something a brother-in-law should say?” Tan Lanlan looked at Han Yunlong in disbelief, as if he had said something outrageous.
"And then there's my dad. He has pneumonia. The doctor said he can't do heavy work and can only rest. You know we're a rural family, and my dad is the pillar of our family. If he can't do heavy work, the whole family's source of income will be gone. How are we supposed to survive? Otherwise, when someone offered 300,000 yuan to marry me, would my parents have agreed?"
Han Yunlong rubbed his temples wearily.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi, who were secretly eavesdropping, were also speechless.
Pneumonia. It was just pneumonia.
The disease can be cured for a few thousand yuan. Even if Tan Lanlan's father is too old to be treated, it won't cost too much.
And why can't her younger brother go out to work and earn a living? Does he have royal blood?
