"My parents' house has been mortgaged. Xiaojing... Xiaojing's money must be paid back, otherwise what should I do?" Xi Lin sat down at the head of the bed, supporting his forehead.

He had a splitting headache.

"That's your family affair, not mine. I married you, not your family. Why should I be responsible for your sister? More than one million, you have the nerve to ask for that." Ran Shanshan snorted coldly, without any compromise.

Xi Lin looked up at her. She was standing by the bed, her hands crossed around her chest. Her eyes were full of determination, without a single emotion, which made him feel a little strange.

After staring for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and he said slowly, "I thought we could still discuss it. Do you think I want to mortgage? I want to be in debt?"

"What if I don't pay it back? The interest is so high, Xiaojing's life will be ruined."

Since the Xi family got into trouble, Ran Shanshan has not appeared many times, and the Ran family just made a promise to protect their own interests, not to mention overcoming difficulties together.

"I brought two million dowry, not to live a life of not only paying off the mortgage but also being in debt!" Ran Shanshan emphasized word by word, and was quite angry.

Xi Lin looked at her, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

He thought he was the dominant party in this marriage, but in fact, he was not. Although Ran Shanshan liked him, she also needed to find a "suitable" person to share the risk like him.

She just happened to like him.

"You should deal with the family affairs first. If you must mortgage, then you pay it back. Moreover, I will only pay my share of the mortgage. We will spend our own money. You will be responsible for other miscellaneous expenses." Ran Shanshan said in a light tone, looking at him and said, "You know, this is very unfair to me. I have made the biggest concession."

Xi Lin thought he was quite ruthless. Marriage was just a partnership, and it was impossible to help the poor. Ran Shanshan didn't seem to be much better than him.

Ran Shanshan was right. She would pay half of the mortgage at most. According to the Marriage Law, it would be returned to her after the divorce.

It was indeed fair not to add insult to injury.

But how can such fairness make people feel so cold?

"I'll leave first." Ran Shanshan walked out with her bag without even looking back.

Xi Lin stood for a long time, with a bitter smile on his face.

He was quite selfish. He hoped that when he needed help, Ran Shanshan would talk to him about feelings and not be so ruthless.

It was cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

He looked around the room, and the smile on his face became even more ironic. How could this be a home?

*

The house was not mortgaged in the end. Xi's mother made long-term plans and was unwilling to tear her face with the Ran family.

Xi's father and mother could only sell the house they lived in, and they had to sell it quickly. After all, the interest on the debt was high. If they dragged it on, Xi Jing would have no hope for the rest of her life, and she would have to pay more money.

Even if Xi's mother wanted to beat her to death, she had to pay it back with blood and teeth.

She couldn't say anything about her suffering, and she fainted once.

After the sale, the house still had a loan. After paying off the loan and the 500,000 yuan mortgage, the remaining money was not enough to pay Xi Jing back more than 1.6 million yuan.

Xi's father licked his old face and borrowed tens of thousands more.

Xi Lin definitely couldn't go to the wedding house. Xi Jing also had to have a place to live, right? Plus the two old people.

Where is the space?

Besides, if he went, would the Ran family agree?

Isn't this forcing Xi Lin to divorce?

He could only rent a house.

The next step was to find a house. The rent was definitely expensive. Fortunately, the two old people still had a salary, so the house could be a little worse, but it couldn't be in the suburbs.

In just a few months, the family had seen all kinds of faces and experienced all kinds of cold and warmth. In order to save some agency fees, they went to the community to find a house, and they wanted to call the landlord directly.

After all, the agency fee was a month's rent, at least five or six thousand yuan.

Xi's mother was inconvenient to move, and Xi's father went to one community after another under the scorching sun and called to ask.

Finally.

Found a house.

Old neighborhood, old house, a little small, it is a renovated two-bedroom, one-living room, the advantage is good location, convenient transportation.

Xi's father was very happy, but Xi's mother was picky, so he could only let Xi Lin take her to see it.

"This place has been renovated and renovated, it's nice to live in, two bedrooms and one living room, the landlord is also very nice." The young man introduced, "Here is the toilet, balcony, kitchen, all very clean."

"I don't like the staircase room." Xi's mother looked unhappy, "Are there no elevator rooms?"

"Xiao Jing still wants to live, either share the rent or live in the village in the city. This is at least in the city, the elevator room with two bedrooms and one living room costs more than 13,000, plus living expenses..." Xi's father didn't say the rest.

Xi Jing still has a child to raise, their salary is probably not enough to live, let alone rent a house for the whole family to live together.

"Let's just take this, at least there is a private space, and then buy a smaller one later." Xi Lin comforted.

Xi's mother was reluctant, but what could she do?

They still owed a lot of debts.

My health is still not good, and I have to take medicine all the time.

Seeing that she agreed, Xi's father hurriedly asked the young man, "How much does it cost to rent the whole house?"

"It's like this, this house is not mine, I am also a tenant, but I have to go back to my hometown in a few days, and there is only one month left before the expiration date. If you rent the whole house, you have to pay once every three months, 7,300 a month, you just need to give me 6,000 this month, I have also told the landlord about this, when my contract expires, you can sign the contract with her."

"Their family is very nice and easy to talk to."

"7,300 is too expensive." Xi's mother frowned, "Why is it 7,300 for this house?"

Including other expenses, the rent, water and electricity alone would cost 8,000 a month.

"Auntie, the rent has increased a lot this year. I can't stand it, so I went back to my hometown. The rent in this area has increased now. Other places cost 7,500 without renovation. This house was renovated by the landlord, which is quite cost-effective." The young man sighed.
