"Yan Jun couldn't produce any money. Half of the wages he used to receive had gone to support his three children, so he hadn't saved a penny. With no other choice, Hong Xiaoping had to look elsewhere for a loan. After all, she couldn't just sit by and watch her youngest son die in the countryside."
But the couple had long since made enemies of the people at the ancestral Yan home. Since she couldn't borrow anything from the Yan side, she could only pin her hopes on the Hong family.
"Hong Xiaoping got down on her knees to beg her side of the family, but the Hongs couldn't produce such a large sum of money. Even if they could, they weren't about to lend it to a daughter who had already married out."
