Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Fine, we’ll pay! If you won’t save Dad, we will!”

Shen Jian Country was, after all, the son-in-law. With the sons present, it wasn’t really his place to interfere too much.

But Guo Chunxiang’s behavior was simply too much for him to bear. Moreover, she was constantly at odds with his wife. How could he possibly stand by and do nothing!

”Oh, fine by me! Dad is so lucky to have such a dutiful daughter and son-in-law. In that case, we’ll give you this chance to show your filial piety. We won’t fight you for it!”

Hearing Shen Jian Country say his family would cover the costs, Guo Chunxiang had gotten what she wanted. She naturally stopped blocking the way, stepping aside with a smug, satisfied smile.

Her behavior, however, made everyone else in the room shake their heads. A person like that was truly disheartening.

It would have been one thing if her family were truly struggling and couldn’t afford it, but it was clear that Guo Chunxiang had the money and was simply unwilling to spend it.

The man lying gravely ill in bed was the patriarch of the Miao Family! If not for Miao Changgui’s many years of toil, how could his sons and daughters have grown up so well and be living the lives they had today?

”You people... you’re just unbelievable...”

Miao Cuifen shook her head, unwilling to waste another breath on Guo Chunxiang and her family. She turned to Shen Jian Country.

”Jian Country, I...”

”We’re a family. Your decision is our family’s decision. We’ll take Dad to the hospital right now. No matter what, as long as there’s even a sliver of hope, we can’t give up!”

’Even if the county hospital says there’s no cure, there’s still the hospital in the provincial capital!’

”Okay. Our family will do this together.”

Seeing her own son and daughter-in-law abandon her husband made Tian Yilan’s heart ache. But she was just an old woman, and too old to win an argument against her daughter-in-law. All she could do was watch helplessly, completely powerless.

She never expected that the family of her eldest son, the one they had always doted on the most, would abandon them. Instead, it was her married daughter and son-in-law who refused to give up on her husband.

Tian Yilan was deeply moved, but she was also aware of her daughter and son-in-law’s financial situation. She couldn’t let her husband drain her daughter’s family of all their savings in his final days.

”Cuifen, Jian Country, Mom knows you’re good children. But... just let it be. Your father’s condition isn’t something a little money can fix. We could spend it all and still not be able to save him. Even if your father were conscious right now, he wouldn’t want to be such a burden to you!”

”Mom...”

”That’s enough. Don’t say any more. Let me make the final decision on this!”

Tian Yilan had never been a particularly forceful person in her entire life, but in this moment, she was uncharacteristically firm.

Seeing her elderly mother so insistent, Miao Cuifen was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

”Heh. I thought the Shen Family was so generous. Looks like it was all just an act! I bet you knew Mom would say that, which is why you put on such a generous front!”

Seeing the Shen family hesitate, Guo Chunxiang, who had been quiet for a moment, stepped forward and spoke up again.

”Sister-in-law, that’s enough!”

As the younger brother, Miao Changquan couldn’t stand to listen any longer. He had to speak up and reprimand her, even at the risk of offending his eldest sister-in-law.

”What? So they can do it, but I’m not allowed to say a word about it?”
