He was truly at his wit's end.
Here, Wang Tianxiao is finally about to make his move.
He was prepared to help Wu Qiancai solve this problem from the beginning. A little over a thousand yuan was nothing to him now; he could easily come up with it.
But he did not immediately take responsibility.
Because this money was not just an ordinary debt, but Shi Huanhuan's betrothal money.
It's not proper for an outsider like him to give someone a bride price.
Therefore, he could only give the money out through Wu Qiancai, which was considered a loan to Wu Qiancai.
But even if you want to lend him money, you naturally have to choose the right time.
People tend to remember those who help them in times of need, rather than those who are always kind to them.
Only when Wu Qiancai is driven to the brink of despair, and he is almost in despair, can we do him the greatest favor, so that he will regard us as his benefactor and be willing to work diligently and wholeheartedly for us.
After being reborn, Wang Tianxiao gained a deeper understanding of human nature.
He no longer believed, as he had in his previous life, that people should treat each other with honesty and without any reservations. He had come to understand the complexities of human nature.
People who leave a good impression on others and are seen as good people are not necessarily good people in the true sense of the word.
Those who maintain a kind heart often encounter obstacles and may even receive unfair treatment, ultimately ending up disliked by everyone.

Therefore, in his life, no matter what he did or who he faced except his wife, he always paid attention to certain methods and approaches.
It allows you to do good deeds and help others without making them feel that such help is a given or something they should do.
As he gradually accumulated these relationships, he built up a large number of goodwill connections.
Right now, Wu Qiancai has been driven to the brink by the old lady and is basically out of options.
At this point, his intervention was the best possible opportunity.
He patted Wu Qiancai on the shoulder, gesturing for him to stand up. "Brother Qiancai, I'm just an outsider, so I can't make decisions for you directly. You've seen the current situation. So what are your thoughts now? Do you want to give up on Sister-in-law Huanhuan, or do you want to stay with her no matter what?"
"Of course I want to be with Huanhuan, but this money..."
"As for the money, I can lend it to you."
"Ah, boss, but this..."
“A thousand yuan is indeed not a small amount. Even if you don’t eat or drink, you’ll have to work here for a long time, but I believe you will eventually earn enough. However, you need to think it through. If you find another girl, the dowry will be capped at three or four hundred yuan. Don’t you feel like you’re losing out?”
“I don’t feel like I’m losing out. Huanhuan and I have a real relationship. I just don’t have money, not that I don’t want to spend it.”
"That's good. Your words are enough."
Wang Tianxiao told him to wait, then went into the room to get the money.
Inside the house, Li Yali comforted Shi Huanhuan, who was crying. When she saw Wang Tianxiao come in, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? Huanhuan's mother is still insisting that she can't get better?"
"It's alright, it's all settled. Huanhuan's mother said that a dowry of one thousand yuan is enough."
"ah."
Shi Huanhuan was so frightened she almost fainted.
"A thousand yuan? Where are we going to find a thousand yuan for her? My goodness, this is driving us crazy!"
As she spoke, she suddenly collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and burst into tears.
Li Yali patted her back with concern and comforted her, "Sister Huanhuan, don't worry. Didn't Tianxiao say he's already come up with a solution?"
"What can we do? We simply can't raise the money."
Shi Huanhuan buried her head in the blanket and cried.
Wang Fang was startled by her appearance and ran over to take Wang Tianxiao's hand, asking cautiously, "Dad, why is Aunt Huanhuan shouting?"
"叫唤" means to cry.
"It's alright." Wang Tianxiao hugged his daughter and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Huanhuan, don't worry, I'm here for you. I can help you raise the money first, and you can pay me back later. There's always a way out. Can a living person die from holding their pee?"
"Really, boss?" Shi Huanhuan was suddenly overjoyed, like someone who had fallen into the water and grabbed the last straw. She excitedly grabbed Wang Tianxiao's arm and shook it a few times before realizing she was being a bit off-key. She quickly let go, feeling very embarrassed.
“Of course it’s true,” Wang Tianxiao smiled and said to Li Yali, “Lili, get me some money.”
"Okay, wait a minute."
Wang Tianxiao keeps some money in the credit union, and usually only keeps two or three thousand yuan in cash at home, which is entrusted to his wife for safekeeping. He does not have that much cash on him.
When the two withdrew the money, they didn't hide it from Shi Huanhuan, which moved her even more, and she almost knelt down before them.
When Wang Tianxiao came out with the money, everyone outside stared at him and the money in his hand.
Without further ado, he took it and handed it to Wu Qiancai.
"Here is 1,000 yuan in cash. Count it."
One hundred ten-yuan bills, a thick stack. Wu Qiancai's hands trembled as he held them, his whole body shaking. When had he ever seen so much money?
He counted the money three times in front of the old lady to make sure there was no problem; it was exactly one thousand yuan.
He was about to hand it to the old lady, but withdrew it the moment she reached out.
"Auntie, let's make this clear in front of so many people. You want a dowry of one thousand yuan, and from now on you won't interfere with my marriage to Huanhuan, is that right?"
