Seeing them about to take away all of Grandfatherâs beloved belongings, Hai Xiaotang angrily stepped forward to stop them.
âDonât touch anything. Youâre not allowed to take this, you canât touch anything! All of you, get out! Nobody can touch my grandfatherâs things!â
A worker reluctantly said, âMiss, you should step aside. Youâre not the one in charge here.â
âWho says I canât be in charge? These are all my grandfatherâs things, all of you get awayâ¦â As Hai Xiaotang was about to shoo them away, Hai Rong suddenly scolded her sharply.
âHai Xiaotang, what are you doing?! Get out of the way immediately, are you going to interfere with your uncleâs work too?â
Hai Xiaotang turned to him, âUncle, Iâm not trying to stop you, but you canât sell grandfatherâs house. Grandfather is going to come back, if you sell it, how are you going to explain it to him then?â
âThis is none of your business, get out of my way!â Hai Rong pulled her aside and lectured, âYouâre already married, stop meddling in family affairs. Iâm the one in charge of this house now, whatever I say goes!â
âBut youâre about to sell the house that grandfather put all his heart into! Grandfather said, as long as heâs alive, we canât sell this house!â
âYou think I want to sell it! But if we donât sell the house, your grandfather is going to die!â Hai Rong suddenly blurted out.
Hai Xiaotang was shocked and didnât understand what he meant, âUncle, what do you mean by that?â
Hai Rong sighed and explained, âYour grandfather is missing, we need money to look for him, right? Your auntie and I have already spent all our savings, selling the old house is the only way we can afford to keep the search for him going! If we donât find him soon, who knows what danger he might encounter out there? Iâm selling the house all for his sake!â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
Seeing her uncle acting like he was doing everything for grandfatherâs good, she was so angry that she was left speechless.
Because she simply didnât believe him!
Hai Xiaotang couldnât help but say, âUncle, you flippantly claimed that you have spent money to look for grandfather, but itâs really the police who are doing the searching, you understand?â
âWhat do you know?!â Hai Rong sternly scolded her, âThere are many places where money needs to be spent behind the scenes. As a young girl, you donât understand anything, and you donât appreciate our hard work. Okay, I donât want to explain anymore to you, we have to sell this house regardless, unless you donât want to find your grandfather!â
Thatâs when Hai Xiaotang really understood, he was just looking for excuses to sell the house.
For Grandfather, she could definitely notâ¦
âUncle, no matter what, this house cannot be sold! I do not agree to you selling it!â Hai Xiaotang said very firmly.
âOh, on what grounds do you disagree?â Suddenly, Zhan Yu walked in, she had heard their conversation.
Coming up to Hai Xiaotang, she said coldly, âXiaotang, tell me, on what grounds do you disagree to sell it?â
âThis is grandfatherâs house!â
âIs the house important, or is your grandfatherâs safety important? We are selling it to get him back.â Zhan Yu questioned her, âDonât you wish for your grandfather to return home sooner?â
Hai Xiaotang didnât feel like wasting her breath arguing with them anymore.
She indifferently asked, âWell, tell me, how much money do you need to find Grandfather?â
Can she pay for it?
As if knowing her thoughts, Zhan Yu laughed.
âIâll be straight with you. Finding your grandfather is going to cost a lot of money! Even if we sell this house for 5 million, we still might not be able to find your grandfather.â
â5 million is not enough?!â Hai Xiaotang widened her eyes, as if she had heard a fairy tale.
