"How about this? A month. Just one month. Three years is too long; we must seize the day." Seeing that Yu Nian was indifferent to his words, Dai He inexplicably felt a sense of being questioned and humiliated, and decided to play for keeps. "If you can't come begging me after a month, then you win. From now on, I will never mention anything about you becoming a live-in son-in-law again. How about that?"
A month? Yu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Dai He. Knowing the viciousness of society, he immediately guessed that Dai He intended to use his power to make a move against him. With his current fragile foundation, he was hardly a match for Dai He. Yet, Yu Nian, refusing to show weakness, gritted his teeth and replied, "Fine, a month it is. I accept."
Anyway, his odds of winning were slim to begin with. Now that Dai He had thrown him such an opportunity, winning meant the right to speak would belong to him. If he lost, well, he was bound to lose anyway, so why care? What was it to continue being looked down upon by this family? At worst, he would end up with nothing. Having been born with nothing, why should he care about such things? He was who he was; no one could change that easily.
