Rebirth: Back to before the tragedy

"How much gambling debt does my brother owe?"

Jiang Yuange held the phone tightly. Although she kept telling herself to be crueler and not indulge her brother anymore, the bond of family affection made her unable to let go.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, with only the sound of heavy breathing.

After a long while, Jiang's mother stammered and replied,

"The principal, interest, and money lost from gambling... add up to a total of 10 million."

"What! Ten million?"

This number was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Jiang Yuange's heart hard.

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Even though her financial situation has improved and she has more money on hand, she still finds it difficult to accept such a large sum of money.

"How can my brother be so brave and confident to gamble so big?"

This news made Jiang Yuange feel numb from head to toes.

This is no longer a simple gamble, it is a crazy gamble.

"Girl, you must save your brother this time. When those people came to our house today, they were all ferocious. Before they left, they said that if you don't pay back the money, they will chop off one of your brother's fingers. Girl, you only have this one brother."

"Your brother was taken away by a group of people like this. I don't know what kind of torture he will suffer."

Hearing his mother's crying voice, Jiang Yuange's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and his heart sank.

She looked up at the night sky and spoke with difficulty, her voice hoarse.

"Dad, Mom, I really can't take out 10 million all at once."

She now owns a company and has some assets, and she also has endorsements. It is no exaggeration to say that her current assets have already reached a small goal, but these are all fixed assets, and the actual cash she can take out is only one or two million. If it is just to pay off the loan sharks, it would not be difficult for her to borrow some from Chen Cheng or Chu Feiyao to make ends meet. But now, she is asked to take out 10 million at once, and she can't think of who to borrow such a large sum of money from.

Jiang Yuange's words caused silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the sister-in-law's crying voice was heard.

"Little sister, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have opened this shoe store. Otherwise, your brother wouldn't have been so obsessed as to take the risk of going to Beizhebo. But I just found out I'm pregnant this morning. If you don't save your brother, I don't dare to keep this child. I can't let him be born without a father."

Before the sister-in-law finished speaking, Jiang's mother interrupted her.

"Sufang, the baby in your belly is Xinghui's own flesh and blood, our Jiang family's child. Just take care of yourself. Your father and I will take care of Xinghui's affairs."

Father Jiang, who had been smoking with his head down, suddenly threw the unburned cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with his foot. Then he raised his head, looked at Mother Jiang and his daughter-in-law with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice,

"We can't rely on a girl like Yatou for such a large sum of money. It's fine if we can't help her out alone, but we can't keep holding her back. Now that our family is facing such a big difficulty, we have to work together and face it together. Let's get through the current difficulties first."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the phone in Jiang's mother's hand, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly,

"Girl, Dad knows you may feel uncomfortable, but there is nothing we can do about it. Dad decided to sell this villa in the city to pay off your brother's debts. You won't blame Dad, right?"

Jiang Yuange shook his head, and when he realized that the other party couldn't see him, he hurriedly said,

"I will definitely buy you and mom a better and bigger house in the future. Saving your brother is the most important thing now."

"Okay, as long as our family is united and works together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

At this point, he looked at his daughter-in-law who was wiping away tears.

"Sufang, your mother and I can't take care of you these days, and you're newly pregnant, so please ask your mother-in-law to take care of you. Your mother and I will go back to the village to find the village chief to see if anyone is willing to buy our old house and land. I think we can sell it for some money, and then your mother and I will use our old faces to go door to door to collect money. The rest, we'll talk about it later."

When Jiang's father said he wanted to sell the house and land in the village, Jiang's mother was the first to get anxious.

"How did it come to the point where we have to sell the houses and land in the village? That is our roots. If we sell it now, a hundred years from now we won't even have a place to bury our dead."

"If we can't get over this hurdle now, how can we expect to have a better future?"

This is reasonable, but Jiang's mother has lived in the village since she was born and has lived for fifty or sixty years. Asking her to sell the house in the village now is like asking for her life.

"Dad, Mom, it's Xinghui and I who are sorry for you. After Xinghui comes back this time, we will be down-to-earth and do our duty. We will be filial to you and mom in the future."

Father Jiang waved his hand at her.

"If we don't talk about these things, which parent would ignore their children?"

Jiang Yuange couldn't see her parents' appearance or expressions through the phone, but through these words, she could imagine it.

Seeing that Father Jiang had made up his mind, Mother Jiang shouted into the phone,

"Girl, can't you think of another solution?

I heard that you celebrities make money very quickly and can earn tens of millions for just one movie. Aren’t you filming on a set? Ten million shouldn’t be difficult for you. "

Jiang Yuange only felt a pain in his heart and a tightness in his chest.

My father's scolding rang in my ears.

"Shut up, is this what you, a mother, would say?"
