"In-laws, our hearts are the same, we parents also want our children to be well. But the reality of our family's situation is laid out before us, with two kids getting married and Xiaolan's several hospital stays, we old folks have even pulled out our coffin funds, there's just no money at home for now, how about this, you give us some time to save up, and we'll definitely buy a house for the children in the county, what do you say?" Old Mr. Li had no choice but to shamelessly negotiate with his in-laws.
Qiu Shuping stood by quietly without speaking, because she knew the family indeed had no money left, not a single cent; without money in hand, she felt completely powerless, hoping wholeheartedly that her husband could persuade the in-laws.
