He simply went out to play cards, pretending it didn't matter; after all, that was all the activities people in the countryside had each day.

Besides, he just sold his daughter for a good price, so why would he need to work himself to death?

All you need to do is go out and have fun, protect your health, and there's nothing else to worry about.

The son's wedding won't cost that much money; the rest will be enough for their retirement.

The men were overjoyed. Besides their son getting married, they also thought that since their daughter was already pregnant and the groom's family insisted on having the child, it wouldn't matter if their dowry doubled. Who would give up their grandson?
Especially since the groom's parents were naturally submissive. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he was practically bursting with joy. At this moment, the villagers also learned of the man's thoughts.

"Why are you so cruel to your daughter? If you treat her like this, be careful she won't take care of you when you get old. The main thing is that your daughter is so obedient. After you sold her for such a high price, aren't you putting her in a difficult position?"

“That’s right. We’re all from the same village. Although we all have some preference for sons over daughters, we can’t treat our daughters like this. Look at Old Wang’s family at the village entrance. They treat their daughters badly, and as a result, their son is a good-for-nothing, and their daughter doesn’t care about him either, which makes their lives very difficult.”

"I heard your daughter is already pregnant. You shouldn't be like this, or she'll never be able to get married."

While everyone was talking, the middle-aged man scoffed. He thought these people were just envious of him. He knew that many villagers envied him for receiving so much dowry.

Anyway, he was already prepared. Even if his family had to sell everything they owned, they would still try to get their family back on track.

The man completely ignored them and even cursed all those who were talking about him.

“Your lives are unstable because you don’t have a daughter of value. But I’m different. My daughter is so filial, and I will have more money in the future. What can’t I guarantee about my life?”

As he spoke, spittle flew everywhere, and those around him were at a loss for words, wondering if he had gone mad.

If they said anything more, it would only make the person in front of them angrier, so everyone tacitly agreed not to argue at this point.

The man also felt a slight pain in his chest, perhaps because he had too much money. Just thinking about getting so much money made him feel instantly better.

He had no idea he would end up like this. After finishing a round of cards and preparing to go home, he suddenly collapsed to the ground. It was the villagers who found him.

They took him to the hospital, and as soon as he arrived, the doctor issued a critical condition notice. His wife had just finished playing cards when she heard that her husband had been admitted to the hospital.

And even when he was admitted to the ICU, he wasn't worried.

"Old man, you're finally inside. I was wondering when you'd die. After all, it's illegal in this society. But the main problem is that you, old man, haven't been good to me."

When he was young, his father would beat him for no reason, which left him with psychological trauma. So, when his father has a problem now, it means it's a good thing.

Most importantly, he no longer had to take care of the old man. Just thinking about it made everything seem incredibly beautiful, and he couldn't help but hum a soft hum. The man had no idea that when he heard the doctor say he only had a few days left, he was completely stunned.

"Could it be that Dr. Qin was right? I really don't have much time left, and I have no way to save my life?"

At this point, all that's left for the man is to survive; he no longer thinks about anything else.

He felt that he couldn't spend so much money himself, so it was all going to that old woman, and he didn't want her to know he was dead.

He must have been incredibly happy; he really understood the women around him.

"No, I can't just die like this. If I die, he will definitely find a partner to humiliate me without hesitation, and his relationship with her will only get better and better."

As he thought about these things, he felt that he couldn't die yet; not only could he not die, he had to live well.

When she heard the man say that, his wife finally came in. She knew that her husband must still be overthinking things, but he was already sick, so why was he thinking so much?

At worst, he could marry his daughter off and then live out his days in peace, instead of letting this person take her away and saving all his money.

Or rather, he showed filial piety to his mother.

“Let me tell you, what else do you want to do? You’re already sick. The doctor said that spending more money on you is pointless; it’s like throwing you into a big well.”

"Alright, it's all pointless now. You might as well just prepare to die. I'll throw you a big feast, make sure everyone has a great time, and I'll even pick out a good seat for you. Why don't you come with me and I'll help you choose?"

Upon hearing his wife's words, the middle-aged man nearly fainted from anger, but he managed to control himself.

His hands trembled as he frantically searched for Qin Jiang's phone number, hoping to get through and see if Qin Jiang could offer any help. Since the doctor had said his health was failing, someone who could diagnose it online must surely have some solutions.

No matter how much money it costs, he must be able to control himself and stay alive.

"Doctor, you're right, my body really isn't doing well anymore. Please, have mercy on me, take a look at me. I promise I'll never bully my daughter again, I'll definitely be a good person, but I want to live."

He pinched his thigh as he spoke, and at that moment he quickly squeezed out two tears.

Qin Jiang understood that the other party had thought of his daughter because they were in trouble, but Qin Jiang would not help the evildoer.

"I've already told you there's no cure for your illness, and it's already in its late stages. Prepare two good coffins. This is all because of your own bad behavior." (End of Chapter)
