The old man who had been sitting silently finally spoke.
He took a puff from his homemade, low-quality cigarette and coughed: "Second son, what are you thinking?"
The middle-aged man beside Anning kept his head down: "I'm not thinking much. My money is for Ningning's education. Whoever asks, I won't lend it."
The old man's face turned stern: "That's your nephew. Is it more important for your nephew to get married or for your daughter to be educated?"
The middle-aged man still didn't raise his head: "My daughter is my own, but my nephew is one generation removed."
Anning also kept her head down, but she felt a sense of relief inside.
It seems, this set of easygoing parents still knew their priorities well. At least they're not the kind of people who would sacrifice their daughter for the sake of a nephew. Having parents like these, she'll have it much easier.
