"You have no idea, that old hag from the Hu Family is insisting on a bicycle, or else she won't let her daughter marry. Your little brother..." Zhou He's mother started, her head aching at the thought of her son. He seemed to be under some sort of spell, hell-bent on marrying the Hu Family's daughter, causing a huge fuss at home.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard about her son-in-law and the Xu Family's situation, Zhou He's father urged her to come over.
"Xiaohe, you have only one brother back at home, and if you are ever bullied in the Xu Family, it will have to be your brother who stands up for you. I really have no other option," Zhou He's mother said, her voice choked with sobs: "Nianji is making money, and so is your mother-in-law, and I heard that whenever people need a carpenter, they go looking for your father-in-law. Aren't they earning money?"
"Please help your mother, help your little brother."
Zhou He's mother pleaded through her tears.
