Chapter 472: Chapter 472 Sell the House Chapter 472: Chapter 472 Sell the House Wan Dongcheng’s expression was guilt-ridden and pained, as if his heart had truly been tornted during this ti. Li Shiping’s heart clenched in sympathy, realizing that her husband had been under such imnse ntal pressure.
“Why haven’t you told about it? Why keep all these jumbled thoughts to yourself? I’ve never blad you; I’ve always believed that things will get better.”
“Shiping, do you know that the more understanding you are, the guiltier I feel? I’ve failed to provide a good life for you and the children. You shouldn’t have to live like this. I married you to give you a better life, not to drag you into a quagmire.”
“I don’t feel like you’re dragging down. I am willing to go through this with you.” Li Shiping wished she could carve out her heart and lay it in front of her husband, if only to see Wan Dongcheng return to his forr self, for she was willing to endure any hardship for that.
After talking for a while, Li Shiping kept saying how willing she was to endure hardship with him, but Wan Dongcheng wasn’t pleased; instead, he beca sowhat impatient.
He didn’t want to live a life of hardship at all.
Who cared for her company?
He thought that by acting more tender and pitiful, Li Shiping might change her mind and talk to her family, offer him so help, but despite all his talking, Li Shiping wouldn’t even consider that option.
Wan Dongcheng could no longer hold back and began to hint gently, “Shiping, I know you’re a good woman, not greedy for material things, but as our child grows day by day, we need to provide her a better life, right?”
“Mhm,” Li Shiping nodded, still attentive to her husband’s feelings, comforting him, “But you can’t put so much pressure on yourself.”
This ti, Wan Dongcheng truly grew impatient. He didn’t need comfort; what he needed was for Li Shiping to take a stand and ask her family for help. Holding back his emotions, he decided to be more direct.
“Shiping, I’ve been observing the market these past few days. Right now, as long as there’s capital, business is sure to be profitable. Opening a store or a factory is viable.”
“Opening a store, a factory?” Li Shiping hesitated, aware that starting a business would require a significant amount of money. Where could they find the funds for such a venture now?
“Right,” Wan Dongcheng nodded, his expression becoming excited, “I’ve thought about it carefully. Opening a factory is more complicated, and we lack experience, so opening a store is more suitable. We could sell clothing, hardware, or even food.”
“That requires a significant investnt, right? What do we do if we don’t have the capital?” Even though Li Shiping had no experience in running a store, she knew that starting a business required capital.
The excitent faded from Wan Dongcheng’s face, replaced by a look of lancholy, “Shiping, you know the situation at ho. When we got married, we spent all of our savings, and now we really can’t co up with any money. Besides, my parents are getting older, and it’s ti for them to relax. How could I, as their son, burden them with this worry?”
In fact, not much had been spent during their marriage. They’d given a gift of two hundred yuan, which Li Shiping had actually subsidized, and the only real expense was the cost of the wedding banquet, less than one hundred yuan.
Glancing at her expression, he continued, “So… I was wondering, is it possible for you to borrow so money from your family?”
Before Li Shiping could respond, he hurriedly added, “Shiping, don’t worry, consider it a loan from . I can write an IOU, and I will surely pay them back once I make money.”
“…”
Li Shiping’s expression froze, and she beca soberly aware. She’d never imagined that her husband had turned so seemingly affectionate all so that he could ask her to borrow money.
She stared at Wan Dongcheng for a while before asking with pursed lips, “How much?”
