Chapter 854 She'd Be Sold Long Ago
Pan Xiaohua: "You think you're so capable? Fine, then let me ask you, how much money have you given to the family all these years? How much money has your mother taken from you?"
Take money? Take my ass.
Not to mention that Wang has been in prison for the past few years, Pan Hong gave Wang a lot of money a few years ago.
For the Fu family, it was just a drop in the bucket of pocket money.
But in the hands of the Wang family, it was a huge sum of money.
She's an old lady who doesn't spend money; all that money was saved up for Pan Yi.
Wang said angrily, "In short, you're not going to give your old lady any money, are you?"
Pan Xiaohua said, "I have no money. Yang Feng just made it very clear that I used the 20,000 yuan to pay off my debts. That's still not enough; I'm still short 18,000 yuan. If Lanlan stays with me, Yang Feng and I will slowly earn money to pay it back. If you want to take Lanlan away, then you should pay back the remaining money."
Pan Yi angrily said, "Hey, you brat, you're obsessed with money, aren't you?"
"Brother, you're not greedy, so just pay this money back."
Pan Yi snorted coldly and started acting like a rogue, "You're the one who wanted to take her to get her arm treated, not me begging you to. Let me tell you, I have no money, but I'm taking her with me. She's my daughter. If you're still angry, you can break her arm again."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside the door, and something fell to the ground.
Pan Xiaohua turned her head and saw Pan Lanlan standing outside the door.
After Pan Hong left, the door was closed tightly, only slightly ajar.
She listened to everything they said.
"Lanlan." Pan Xiaohua hurriedly pulled her into the house and brought in the things she had bought.
Pan Lanlan was pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Pan Yi knew his words were harsh, but he felt that as a man and her father, there was absolutely no way he could apologize to her.
Forget about apologizing, they can't even say a kind word.
She's just a little girl. We feed her well and raise her, but her only purpose is to bring in dowry money for the family.
In the Pan family, after his good-for-nothing younger brother became a son-in-law of a wealthy family, he was the only man left.
He is the head of this family, and everyone must listen to him.
"Father, are you saying you want to take me away and break my arm again?"
Pan Yi: "After wandering around for so many years, what kind of state have I become? It's time to go back."
What would I do if I went back?
"What are you doing?" Pan Yi looked her up and down, feeling quite satisfied.
Putting aside everything else, that brat Pan Xiaohua has certainly raised his daughter very well.
She used to be as thin as a bean sprout and never spoke, which made the neighbors say that she was both mute and disabled and that they would never be able to get married even if they paid her to.
If you get stuck with it, it'll become a real money-loser.
That's why he agreed to let Pan Xiaohua take her away.
Now it's all good. He's grown up, his arm is healed, he's not mute anymore, and he's even grown up quite well.
Given her appearance, he wouldn't let her go without a dowry of three to five thousand.
“You’re not a child anymore. Come back with me, and I’ll find someone to help you get married near home. It’ll be close to home, and if anyone bullies you in your future in-laws, your father and your brother will help you. It’ll also be convenient for you to go home.”
Pan Xiaohua sneered, "So it's convenient for you to freeload?"
Pan Yi's face darkened, and he clenched his fists, saying, "Pan Xiaohua, you brat, I've only put up with you because you raised Lanlan."
Yang Feng stepped forward, blocking his way. "Brother, what do you mean by clenching your fist at your own sister?"
Pan Yi hesitated for a moment, "I...I won't do anything."
Yang Feng snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I rented this house. If you dare to threaten my wife again, get out."
To this end, he and Pan Xiaohua even created a fake rental contract, which was signed by Yang Feng.
In other words, Yang Feng rented the house to his sister-in-law and his wife's niece.
Seeing the tension rising and the son-in-law's demeanor intimidating, Wang stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, we're all family, why are you making such a fuss? Pan Yi, my daughter and I are here to visit and are staying in our son-in-law's house. We're guests, so we should act like guests."
She winked at Pan Yi.
Pan Yi understood what she meant and climbed down the pole.
"Yes, Mother is right."
Wang then looked at Yang Feng and said, "Son-in-law, although this is a rented house and we are living here because of you, Pan Yi is Xiao Hua's older brother, and also your older brother. Your fierce attitude towards your older brother is a slap in Xiao Hua's face."
"You've only just gotten married," she added as a final reminder.
That's just how Wang is; if she can act tough, she'll let her son do it.
Even if she can't act tough, she's still willing to reason.
She felt that slapping each other was a way to give each other a way out, and that as an elder, her approach was very clever and both sides should be satisfied.
Pan Xiaohua, however, didn't appreciate it at all.
“He didn’t treat me like a younger sister, and I didn’t treat him like an older brother.”
Wang's expression changed. "Hey, you brat, what are you saying?"
Pan Xiaohua sneered, "Isn't that right? If he acted like an older brother, shouldn't he have been worried about us these past few years? I'm all alone, raising my young sister and my disabled niece. Do you think it's easy for me?"
Pan Yi: "..."
Wang pursed her lips and said, "Don't just complain, your older brother has it tough too."
"He has it tough? Ha! To earn more money and support three people, I have to go to the market at four in the morning every day... to get goods for the boss, and I don't get off work until ten at night. You do the math, how many hours do I get to rest every day? Is his life as tough as mine? Is it?"
She stared at Pan Yi as he spoke, but Pan Yi's eyes darted around, and he dared not meet her gaze directly.
Wang stood protectively between them, shielding her son, and said, "You've already made it through, why are you saying all this?"
"Of course I had to say it. Just because I survived doesn't mean I didn't suffer. I suffered so much to get Lanlan's arm, and what? He thinks he can just take her away like that? Humph, fine, take her away, but give me back my money. I don't need you to pay me back much, just pay back the 18,000 you still owe someone else."
Bringing him home, the dowry would be at most three to five thousand.
That brat wants him to pay 18,000 yuan in medical expenses; that would be a huge loss for him.
Pan Yi felt extremely distressed at the thought of how much money he had spent treating his arm.
"You should have said so earlier! You didn't even discuss such a big thing with me. If I had known that treating an arm would cost so much, I would have..." Pan Yi choked.
Pan Xiaohua finished his sentence for him: "Wouldn't it be better not to treat it?"
Pan Yi said awkwardly, "We're poor, so losing an arm isn't a big deal, it's not like we're going to die."
Upon hearing this, Pan Lanlan couldn't stop her tears.
“In Dad’s heart, I’m just an object that can be measured in money. He knows exactly how much I’m worth and how little I’m worth. So why are you coming to me? Didn’t Dad sell me to Auntie years ago?”
