It had been almost a month since he was rushed back, but this month, he didn't sleep at home one night. Every day at sunset, he would head over to the Du Family with a bottle of wine.
Outsiders thought that he had some unclear relationship with Du Yun. Only he and Du Yun understood that the only reason he went to the Du Family was to drink wine.
His parents were already old, and they had toiled for most of their lives, hoping with great difficulty that their son would become a genius. Yet, they had no choice but to accept the cruel reality of their son becoming a cripple.
Wang Hao really couldn't bear to let his parents see him paralyzing himself with alcohol, so he went to Du Yun's house every night.
Now that his leg was healed, he even obtained a fortuitous opportunity and began a new life. His choice was …
Wang Hao was on his way home. He wanted to tell his parents about his leg and make them happy.
Wang Hao's family, Wang Dewen and Wang Dewu were sitting under the eaves talking.
Wang Dewen said, "Number two! "It's not because I'm an elder brother, but because you know my family's situation. Wang Loong is already twenty-eight years old and has yet to get married. I have to arrange a marriage for him."
"Previously, Hao was studying at the Tsinghua Institution, and everyone looked up to our Wang Family. But now, not only was Hao expelled by the Tsinghua Institution, he has also become a cripple.
"That Mei Laisan has already said that if you want to marry his daughter, you have to at least pay sixty thousand silver taels. I was forced into a corner, so I had no choice but to discuss it with you and see if you can return the twenty thousand yuan I lent you back to me. "
Wang Dewu shook his head and sighed, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to return it to you, but my family really can't afford to give me 20,000 yuan now. Give me some more time. When I have money, I'll return it to you immediately."
"Then how many do you have now?"
Wang Dewu hesitated and said, "Only six thousand."
"Give me the six thousand for an emergency." Wang Dewen urged.
"This …"
Wang Dewu hesitated.
These six thousand yuan were raised with great difficulty because he sold all the valuable things in the house. It was the money he raised for Wang Hao's sake.
If he gave this money back to Wang Dewen, Wang Hao's legs would be permanently crippled without any hope of recovery.
Wang Dewen said with a straight face, "Lao Er, you are wrong. Hao needed money to read books, but I didn't even frown and just gave you 20,000 yuan. Now that Wang Loong needs money to get married, I didn't ask for money from you. I just wanted you to return the twenty thousand yuan you owe me. "
"If you don't have the money, then it's a different matter. But you clearly have six thousand yuan in your hands, and yet you're still not paying it back. Do you think you're worthy to be my older brother?"
Wang Dewu lowered his head in shame.
Liu Cuilian rushed out from the room and angrily said: "Big brother, I don't like what you said. Since when did De Wu let you down?"
"When Hao entered the Tsinghua Institution, he needed a large amount of tuition fees. It was you who brought up the matter of the money, and even said something about supporting Hao's studies."
"Didn't you say that you would borrow it later?" Wang Dewen interrupted.
"Yes, we did not say that we will not return your 20,000 yuan. Not only do we want to repay you, we also want Hao to repay you in the future."
"But now?"
There was a mocking expression on Liu Cui'e's face as she mocked, "Now that Hao is in an accident, you can't wait to ask for the money and even want to take away Hao's final lifesaver. What do you mean we really can't figure it out?"
"I... "What else could I mean? I was forced into a corner by Wang Loong's marriage, so I wanted to get the money back." Wang Dewen stammered.
"Humph!"
Liu Cui'e snorted coldly, "Don't use Wang Loong's marriage as an excuse. Don't use the fact that I don't know anything. Wang Loong doesn't like the Mei family's girl at all. He has no intention of marrying her."
"The reason you're in such a hurry right now is because you think that Hao has become a cripple with no value anymore. Worry about it in the future …"
"Enough, don't say anymore. Big Brother is not the kind of person you think he is." Wang Dewu said with a dark expression, "I will take care of the things here. If you have nothing else, go back to your room and sleep."
"Wang Dewu, you... "You …"
Liu Cui'e was furious. She gritted her teeth and said: "Fine, fine, fine, it's me that's unworthy of being a villain, I don't care, you can return it if you want. Wang Hao is your Wang Family's child, you decide."
Tears streamed down Liu Cui'e's face.
Wang Hao was her heart's flesh and blood. She had been washing her face with tears for the past few days, so the six thousand yuan that she had raised in a messy way was her last hope. If she didn't even have six thousand yuan, then she wouldn't have any hope.
Wang Dewu's eyes were also brimming with tears. However, due to his dignity as a man, he tried his best not to cry.
His only son in this life was also his pride in this life. He could not accept Wang Hao becoming a cripple.
Even if he sold everything he had, he still wanted to cure Wang Hao's leg so that Wang Hao could cheer up again.
This six thousand was the most he could take out, and it was also his hope.
If you can't even keep this six thousand...
There was nothing more lamentable than a dead heart. If there was no more hope, then he no longer had the motivation to continue living.
"Dad, mom, what's wrong with you guys?" In the darkness, Wang Hao's voice suddenly sounded.
"Hao, is that you?" "You're back?" Liu Cui'e secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, fearing that Wang Hao would see her, and then looked around for Wang Hao's figure.
"Yeah, I'm back." Wang Hao replied.
There were shadows moving around in the darkness, but they couldn't see it clearly, not to mention the fact that Wang Hao didn't have a walking stick.
Liu Cui'e said with concern, "Hao, slow down. Be careful of your feet and don't fall down."
"I'll get the flashlight." Wang Dewu stood up and said.
Wang Hao smiled and stopped him, "Dad, no need for that. My leg is already healed, so I don't need a flashlight."
"What did you say?" The three of them asked at the same time.
Wang Hao repeated, "Third Uncle has already healed my legs, I can walk normally now."
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't believe that their third brother, Wang Dezhi, had this kind of ability.
Wang Hao's figure finally walked out from the darkness to where the lights were shining. Liu Cui'e couldn't help but tear up when she saw Wang Hao walking freely without a walking stick.
Not only Liu Cui'e, even the tears in Wang Dewuhu's eyes fell. These were tears of joy.
Wang Dewen felt a little awkward.
He thought Wang Hao would be a cripple from now on, but he never thought that Wang Hao would have the day he stood up again.
If he knew that Wang Hao could stand up, he wouldn't have let Wang Dewu pay him back tonight no matter what.
Wang Hao was a Qilin that was rarely seen in the history of Wang Family. Once he was able to stand up, his future would be limitless.
As Wang Hao's uncle, he had to be proud of himself.
Twenty thousand was a lot for a country bumpkin, but for the developed Wang Hao, a mere twenty thousand was more than just a small amount, but it was worth ten times or even a hundred times more.
This was a very worthwhile investment, but he had to take it back midway. How could he continue to invest in it?
