Chapter 8 Forced To Sell House, Threatened With Divorce
- Xu Lili's words felt like sharp knives stabbing into Jiang Yan's heart.
- After three years of marriage, Xu Lili still treated him like a stranger.
- Wang Xiuzhi also stood up angrily, shouting at Jiang Yan, "I can see it now, you deliberately don't want to save my son. Fine, if you don't treat him like a brother, then I don't need to treat you as a son-in-law. Tomorrow morning, you divorce Lili immediately, we don't need you as a son-in-law."
- Little Nannan was scared by her mother's behavior and started crying loudly, clinging to Jiang Yan and hiding in his arms.
- Wiping away her tears, Xu Lili said, "Jiang Yan, let me tell you. No matter what, my brother must be helped. If you don't want to deal with this, then as my mother said, divorce tomorrow!"
- Jiang Yan's eyes turned red in an instant, never expecting Xu Lili to say such words.
- Holding his frightened daughter in his arms, he suppressed his anger and said to Xu Lili and Wang Xiuzhi in a low voice, "You both need to calm down. I will definitely take care of Xiaobin's situation. Crying and making a scene like this won't solve anything!"
- Wang Xiuzhi stopped crying and rolled her eyes at him, "Do you have a solution?"
- "The most important thing now is to contact Xiaobin, have him confirm how much money he owes the other party. We can't just give them a million if they say so. Secondly, we need to figure out how to raise money, pay back as much as we can, and get these people to leave Xiaobin alone for now."
- Wang Xiuzhi pulled a face and said, "What if Xiaobin really owes them a million? How do you plan to raise the money?"
- She has completely handed over her son's affairs to Jiang Yan.
- Jiang Yan thought for a moment and proposed to them, "Mom, Dad, this amount of money is not small, and we definitely can't borrow it. The most valuable thing in our family right now is this house."
- Wang Xiuzhi jumped up and pointed at Jiang Yan, cursing, "Oh! You've been beating around the bush, so you're eyeing our house, huh? Where will we live if we sell the house? Are we going to live in that old doghouse with you?"
- Jiang Yan hung his head. In his mother-in-law's eyes, their old house has always been a doghouse.
- Xu Lili also spoke coldly, "Mom and Dad's house cannot be sold! They are at this age, if we sell the house, are we going to make them rent a house to live in?"
- "My daughter is so sensible!"
- Wang Xiuzhi burst into tears and, with a look of disgust, shouted at Jiang Yan, "You useless person, all you care about is my house. When it comes to selling a house, why don't you sell your own house? Although your doghouse is not big, it's still in a good school district, and you can easily sell it for a couple hundred thousand!"
- Jiang Yan looked at her in shock. He never expected his mother-in-law to shamelessly suggest such a thing.
- Her son gambled and owed debts, and she actually asked him to sell the house to pay off the debt?
- He firmly refused, "No, Nan Nan is about to start kindergarten."
- "You see, I told you. You don't consider us family at all, you don't even consider Xiaobin as your brother!"
- Wang Xiuzhi cursed loudly, grabbing her daughter's arm and wailing, "Lili, Mom doesn't want to live anymore. We're getting old, and we have to sell the house to pay off debts. If our relatives and friends find out, they'll laugh at us! What's the point of living for me? It's better to just die!"
- Xu Lili fell silent, her expression resolute as she said, "Jiang Yan, no matter what, I will not abandon Xiaobin. Mom is right, the best solution now is to sell our house. We're still young, we can rent a place. Anyway, I've long wanted to move out of that dump of a house!"
- "A dump? You also think our home is a dump?"
- Jiang Yan looked at Xu Lili in shock.
- No matter how small, old, or rundown the house was, it was left to Jiang Yan by his parents.
- And now, for the sake of his nephew, Xu Lili was heartlessly suggesting selling the house?
- Jiang Yan's heart was riddled with wounds. If it weren't for the warmth of his daughter in his arms, he would have completely despaired of Xu Lili and her family.
- Xu Lili snatched Xiaonannan from his arms and coldly instructed him, "Go back and think about it! The house, me and our daughter, which one will you choose in the end? If you choose the house, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get a divorce. After all, in your heart, me and my family are insignificant, and being together means nothing."
- Jiang Yan stared at her, unable to respond.
- He felt like a dog being driven out of the house, and he stood there in a daze before finally descending the stairs alone.
- Xiaonannan's cries echoed in the hallway, "Daddy, I want Daddy. Let me go, I want to be with Daddy..."
- Jiang Yan looked up at the building with a heartache, comforting Xiao Nannan loudly, "Nannan, don't cry, Daddy will come to pick you up tomorrow."
- His throat choked up, and his eyes turned red.
- For his daughter, he couldn't get a divorce.
- He quickly calculated in his mind how to handle this situation.
- If he didn't sell the house, where could he get this one million from?
