Chapter 393 - 22: Mother and Son at Odds
Lin Xiaoguai furrowed her brow, her nephew’s words truly shocking. It took her some time to digest them before she could ask, "What condition?"
She thought to herself that if it meant Ping’an could obtain a transplantable heart, it would be worth it no matter how much money it cost, even if the other party demanded an exorbitant amount.
Upon hearing her, Xu Ji found himself in a dilemma, stammering for a while before he said, "He wants me to marry his sister and take care of her for the rest of her life."
Lin Xiaoguai was stunned. "Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand?" she asked, wondering if something might be wrong with the man’s brain for proposing such a thing to a 16-year-old child.
"That’s exactly what he said." Xu Ji’s face turned slightly red.
"How old is his sister?" Lin Xiaoguai furrowed her brow as she inquired.
"7 years old." Xu Ji paused, then explained, "Both his parents have passed away, and the reason he’s in prison is that he killed his uncle’s family who were abusing his sister. When he was working out of town, his uncle and aunt did not keep their promise and took his money without caring for his sister at all. They didn’t send her to school and made her do all the tough chores at home. When he returned from working out of town, his sister was in a high fever and unconscious, yet no one took her to the hospital, and his cousin was teasing her on the side. He’s going to be executed in two months, but there’s no one he can trust to take care of his sister."
"Wait a second." Hearing this, Lin Xiaoguai frowned and asked, "How did he know you needed a heart transplant?"
