"Sis... you truly are my own sister!" Upon hearing her words, Uncle Lin's eyes moistened slightly as he fought back tears, holding her hand. "Sister, thank you. Bao'er, go fetch some paper and a pen for me, I need to write an IOU to your mother."
Even though his own sister was willing to give him the money directly, Uncle Lin did not intend to shamelessly accept it without an agreement to pay it back.
"What IOU? Bao'er, don't you dare bring a pen and paper." Mrs. Xia held onto Xia Ningxing, glancing at her own brother. "We're all family. Why are you behaving like such a stranger? Consider this money as my investment in you, no need to repay it."
"That won't do!" Uncle Lin was exceptionally stubborn, and even Mrs. Cheng shared this attitude.
She loved her daughter too much to let her son take advantage of her.
Aunt Lin also didn't want to take advantage of anyone.
So, if Mrs. Xia truly didn't want an IOU, then they would not accept her money.
