"So, your uncle's family is short on money?"
Fang Bai asked.
Gu Hai nodded and said, "My two cousins have met with so many potential spouses, but each time it's the same story—no house, no car, and the bride price demanded is too high, so it falls through. They've been dragging it out until now..."
"Both cousins work in the city, barely saving any money each year. That's why, in recent years, my uncle often goes out to sea, hoping to save enough for their marriages and starting a family... but it's not enough!"
Gu Hai talked a lot about his uncle's family but then thought about his own situation, which seemed even worse than his uncle's, and he sighed.
Fang Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your sister's illness will definitely be cured!"
When they arrived at Uncle Gu Yuan's house, both of them were having a meal. Gu Hai said to Gu Yuan, "Uncle, Brother Fang insisted on coming along to thank you for saving his life."
