Shi Xuefeng, sitting in the wheelchair, looked at the contract and painfully closed his eyes.

This was all his fault. If he had not gone into the mountain that day, or if he had not met with that accident, none of this would have happened.

His family was in shambles because of the accident. His wife and daughter were also burdened.

Because of him, Shi Yaner had quit school. He would not allow any more harm to come to her.

We will not sign this contract. Shi Yaner is our daughter. We cannot have her marry someone like you, Shi Xuefeng opened his eyes and said angrily.

I will gather the one hundred and fifty thousand yuan as soon as I can and return the full amount to you. If you want to force my hand now and insist on marrying my daughter, I would rather die together with you right now.

After that, he pulled out a kitchen knife from behind him.

Hu Dahai trembled when he saw that and took a step back. What What do you think youre doing? Let me tell you, dont be rash, its against the law to point a knife at someone.

Illegal? I dont even want my life! Shi Xuefengs eyes bulged, displaying a hint of insanity.

Dont dont Hu Dahai retreated hastily behind the two police officers. See that? Hes threatening me with a knife in broad daylight.

One of the police officers frowned and stubbed out his cigarette. Put the knife down now, Shi Xuefeng, otherwise Ill arrest you and lock you up for a few days.

You can ask him to get lost! Im not putting the knife down as long as he is still here! Shi Xuefeng roared madly.

Zhang Hongfang could not bear to see all this. She covered her face with her hands, then crouched and started sobbing.

The crowd of villagers were furious.

Hu Dahai, get out of Dragonrock Village! Many villagers were yelling.

Hu Dahai was instantly filled with anger. Who said that? Whos telling me to get out? Come out here now!Behind him, the group of hooligans glared with hostility in all directions.

The commotion weakened after this threat.

Nobody dared to stand against a tyrant like Hu Dahai!

Pa! Ma!

Yaner had finally reached. She pushed through the crowd and arrived at the scene.

She rushed over to Shi Xuefeng, snatched the knife from his hands and flung it aside. Pa, what are you doing!

Its all my fault, daughter!

Shi Xuefeng could not hold back his tears. His body trembled as tears streamed down his face.

Oh, Yaner is here! Be a good girl, Yaner, and sign the contract! Your debt will be written off after you sign it. Youll be my wife after that. Hu Dahai walked to her and smiled courteously.

I might be uneducated, but I know how to treat you well! I wont mistreat you if youre my woman. Ill buy you anything you want: Rings, necklaces, brand name handbags, anything!

Hu Dahais shifty eyes had a hint of perversion in them. His Adams apple rolled in his throat as he swallowed.

Dont listen to him, Yaner! Shi Xuefeng said angrily, No matter how downtrodden I might be, I will not pawn my daughter away! Just give it up, Hu Dahai!

Pah! Damn cripple, its Yaners business if she wants to follow me or not. What can do you about it, you useless father? Hu Dahai laughed coldly.

Yaner stood on the spot. Her face was pale.

She was trembling slightly. She turned around to look behind her. Her eyes were empty and lifeless.

There was no other choice. If she did not sign the contract, what could her family do? One hundred and fifty thousand yuan was a fortune for their family.

She closed her eyes in agony. When she opened them again, she seemed to have made up her mind. With trembling hands, she reached for the contract.

Hu Dahai looked almost ecstatic at that instant.

Everything would fall into place as long as Yaner agreed. His body was shaking with excitement when he imagined this masterpiece of a woman would soon belong to him.

Meanwhile, Shi Xuefengs eyes were bulging in rage and his body shook with anger.

Yaner! Dont sign it! Suddenly, someone yelled from the crowd.

Yaner was stunned. Her hand froze in place.

Hu Dahai was furious. Which bastard said that? Come out here now!

A plain-looking boy in a white button-down shirt came out from the crowd.

Dammit, who the hell are you? Are you trying to be a hero? Ill kill you! Hu Dahai roared.

The crowd of villagers looked at him with curiosity.

Whos this? Ive never seen him before

Oh, I remember now! Hes Lil Hao, Caifengs son and Grandpa Jianyuns grandson.

Oh, so thats him! I know the kid!

Brother Hao! Shi Yaner called out to him. She was at a loss.

Dont sign that thing, Yaner. Dont worry too, I will help you solve the problem! Tang Hao smiled as he walked toward Shi Yaner.

He turned to look coldly at Hu Dahai.

He looked at the ugly, fat person in front of him with disgust. Its just a hundred and fifty thousand, right? Ill pay for it!

Everyone cried in surprise when they heard that.

Where did Lil Hao get that much money from?

Ive heard that he was kicked out of school and delivers packages for a living now. How could he have that much money?

Shi Xuefeng was shocked. He looked at Tang Hao and shook his head.

He knew that the boy did not come from a rich family and had no means to procure a hundred and fifty thousand yuan. However, he was moved by the boys gesture of defiance.

Hu Dahai was worried that the kid might actually have the money to repay the debt. Then he would have no excuse to make the familys life difficult, and the chance to claim the beautiful girl as his would be gone forever.

He was relieved when he overheard the conversation about this kid being just a poor delivery boy.

He laughed mockingly. Youre just a delivery boy, where will you get the hundred and fifty thousand yuan from? Hmph! Youre just a country bumpkin and you want to play the hero? How about you get lost now?

Its just a hundred and fifty thousand. Youll get your money soon, Boss Hu, Tang Hao replied coldly.

Hah! You speak as though you really have the money! I wonder where a poor piece of trash like you will get the money from! Hu Dahai roared with laughter.

You will see very soon if I have the money, Tang Hao remained calm.

Hu Dahai was shocked at his apparent composure. Dont tell me he really has the money? He thought.

Yaner rushed to him and said urgently, I cant take this money from you, Brother Hao! This is the money you need to start your business! What will you do if you dont have the money?

Dont worry, Yaner! Tang Hao comforted her.

But Yaner was on the verge of tears.

Oh! This Lil Hao is loaded!

Didnt you hear, its the money to start his business!

No wonder. But where did he earn that much money though?

The villagers were discussing.

Hu Dahai was becoming anxious. Things were not looking positive.

He clenched his jaw and a look of viciousness appeared on his face. Mind your own business, kid. Didnt you hear that they dont want your money? Careful if I break your legs.

Then, he indicated a signal to his left and right.

The hooligans understood his meaning. They laughed coldly as they surrounded Tang Hao.
