Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Hearing Du Xiaojuan put it that way, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin forced awkward, guilty smiles, at a loss for how to respond for a moment.

After hemming and hawing for a while, Luo Jiaxin finally made an excuse:

"The examination report is still at home; we didn't bring it on this great happy day tonight."

Du Xiaojuan nodded:

"Fine, fine. Then when you come down to Guangzhou to see a doctor later, bring the examination report along to show me. If there's truly a need, I'll accompany you to the hospital then and pay your medical expenses. Is that all right?"

Hearing Du Xiaojuan say this, Wang Dashan's expression softened somewhat.

His own wife was finally no longer so cold-blooded.

After all, they were borrowing money to save a life; if he didn't contribute a single cent, that would truly be too cold-blooded and heartless.

Du Xiaojuan's answer had already made her stance clear: she was willing to lend.

So he chimed in as well:

"Uncle Zhenxing, my wife has already agreed to help pay your medical expenses. When you return home, gather all the materials, and bring them together when you go to Guangzhou to see a doctor!"

Li Zhenxing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He wanted cash!

If they couldn't come up with 150,000 within an hour, that wouldn't do at all!

But Du Xiaojuan had already said it to this extent; he couldn't possibly shamelessly demand that she give them 150,000 right now, could he?

And indeed, Luo Jiaxin actually said it so shamelessly!

"Can you lend us this money now? We want to get this money right now……"

Luo Jiaxin made an extremely excessive request in an extremely humble tone.

To be honest, she didn't want to do this either.

Who made Li Zhenxing owe a loan shark!

At a time like this, she could only grit her teeth and speak up.

Her unreasonable request was naturally rejected outright by Du Xiaojuan:

"That won't do. I can only lend to you once you're willing."

Du Xiaojuan spoke very directly, not beating around the bush at all, and continued:

"This matter is not up for discussion. It's not that I don't trust you; it's just that before, someone really used the pretext of needing money to save their life due to illness to borrow from me, only for me to discover in the end that person wasn't sick at all. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope. So I'm certainly willing to help you, but I can only pay your medical expenses on the spot at the hospital."

Hearing Du Xiaojuan say this, Luo Jiaxin had nothing to say.

"Fine, fine……"

Then they left dejectedly.

As soon as they left, Du Xiaojuan coldly glared at Wang Dashan:

"I really can't understand—what do you have to be embarrassed about refusing?"

Wang Dashan looked puzzled:

"Didn't you also agree to lend?"

Du Xiaojuan was speechless:

"I agreed? I already refused, okay!"

Wang Dashan still looked bewildered:

"No, you clearly just said you were willing to go to the hospital and pay Uncle Zhenxing's medical expenses! You can't go back on your word! Otherwise people will look down on you!"

Du Xiaojuan shook her head and sneered:

"Wang Dashan, Wang Dashan, you're really a pig brain. That person didn't have liver cancer at all, okay? They were just using such an excuse to borrow money from you!"

Wang Dashan was startled:

"What? Impossible. This is a matter of life and death; how could they do such a thing!"

Du Xiaojuan was speechless:

"Believe it or not, after this wedding ends, they won't come to Guangzhou to find us at all! You really have no discernment whatsoever!"

Wang Dashan's face was full of gloom, and he still didn't quite believe Li Zhenxing would weave such an excuse.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin walked toward the lounge, looking worried and distressed.

Luo Jiaxin even cursed:

"That Du Xiaojuan is really a fox spirit, shrewd to death. Borrowing money from her is harder than begging the King of Hell for your life!"

Li Zhenxing sighed:

"Enough, don't say it. If they're willing to lend, it's a favor; if not, it's their duty. Don't blame others."

Luo Jiaxin said coldly:

"Indeed, there's no one else to blame, because it's all your fault. If it weren't for your gambling, how would we end up like this?"

Li Zhenxing hung his head, dejected:

"Can you not speak so loudly? Do you want others to know this shameful matter?"

Just then, someone came walking from ahead to greet them:

"Uncle, Auntie, hello!"

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin looked up and saw, to their shock, that Zhou Zhihao had arrived.

"Zhou Zhihao, how did you come here?"

Luo Jiaxin couldn't help but be stunned.

Because she had sensed the improper relationship between Li Yuncui and Zhou Zhihao.

Zhou Zhihao coming to attend the wedding tonight, she was afraid he would stir up trouble.

Zhou Zhihao smiled politely:

"Wang Yaohua invited the whole village to eat at the banquet; I help Wang Erhai guard the farm, so I also count as half a person of Shangou Village, so I was also invited. How about it? Auntie, are you not welcoming me?"

Luo Jiaxin said coldly:

"If you want to come eat at the banquet, I don't object, but I warn you, you must not cause trouble at the wedding. You and my daughter have already broken up for a long time; everyone should look forward!"

Zhou Zhihao said with a smile:

"Auntie, please rest assured; I have come tonight bearing sincere blessings."

Hearing Zhou Zhihao say this, Luo Jiaxin only then felt slightly reassured.

At this time, Zhou Zhihao asked:

"Where is Yun Cui? I'll go see her; she must be very beautiful tonight, right?"

But Luo Jiaxin was on guard:

"You just find a seat and sit down; don't go looking for my daughter now, afraid Yaohua will misunderstand!"

Zhou Zhihao didn't insist either, only smiling:

"Fine, then I'll find a seat and sit down, waiting to eat at the banquet."

Finished speaking, he walked inside, randomly found a seat, and sat down among the villagers.

Then he picked up peanuts on his own, shelling and eating them, a smile on his face, looking toward the stage set up at the front of the banquet hall.

That wedding stage was truly beautifully designed!

However, Zhou Zhihao didn't really go admire it; his gaze wandered, and his line of sight finally landed on the control computer beside the stage.

That computer could control the large screen projected onto the stage.

That large screen was really big!

It almost covered an entire wall, just like a movie theater's large screen.

Zhou Zhihao thought: later when the large screen plays the footage of him and Li Yuncui fighting fiercely in the cornfield, it will surely shock all the guests.

And that was precisely the effect he wanted.

And at this moment, Li Yuncui came out from the lounge.

At a glance, she saw Zhou Zhihao sitting in the crowd.

Her brows furrowed slightly; Li Yuncui's complexion turned very ugly.

Because she knew Zhou Zhihao coming to eat at the banquet absolutely carried another purpose.

So she hurriedly walked over:

"Zhou Zhihao, why did you come?"

Hearing Li Yuncui's voice, Zhou Zhihao couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he smiled and turned his head, eating peanuts while speaking:

"Yun Cui, I naturally came to attend your wedding; I want to send you my most sincere blessings!"

Li Yuncui said coldly:

"I warn you, you best not mess around here!"

Zhou Zhihao laughed:

"Rest assured, I definitely won't mess around; later I'll still give you and Wang Yaohua a surprise big gift!"
