The older sister-in-law was heartbroken and crawled over to hug her daughter.

"She's not sick, she's not sick, our Zixuan is perfectly fine, it's your Aunt Gengqi who's talking nonsense."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The brother-in-law, Zhang Jianguo, squatted on the ground, smoking one cigarette after another, his hands trembling.

Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran felt uneasy watching this scene.

After a while, her sister-in-law calmed down a bit.

Zhang Ruoran took a tissue and wiped away her tears, then said softly:

"Sister-in-law, Geng Qi really went too far this time."

"I'll have Jianmin teach her a lesson later."

"Don't take it too seriously. That's just how she is. She can't keep her mouth shut, but she's actually scared inside."

The older sister-in-law sniffed and nodded:

"I know... Ruoran, thank you."

"If you and Li Ze hadn't stopped me, I might have impulsively done something I'd regret for the rest of my life."

Zhang Ruoran patted the back of her hand:

"We're all family, why say such things?"

At this moment, the elder sister-in-law suddenly grabbed Li Ze's sleeve, her eyes filled with hope:

"Li Ze, you just said you have a way to cure Zixuan, is that true?"

"You didn't lie to your sister-in-law, did you?"

The brother-in-law, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Ze.

Li Ze nodded, his tone certain:

"Yes, it's true."

He glanced at Zhang Zixuan, then gestured for his brother-in-law and sister-in-law to come closer, and said in a low voice:

"Let's talk about this quietly, so the child doesn't hear too clearly and feels pressured."

The group of people gathered together.

Li Ze said earnestly:

"When I was in America, I invested in a very well-known pharmaceutical company."

"They have developed a specific drug for major depressive disorder, and it is currently very effective with a high cure rate."

"It's just that this drug hasn't been launched in the country yet, so doctors in China may not know about it."

The brother-in-law and sister-in-law were stunned.

"You've also invested in companies?"

The brother-in-law looked at Li Ze in surprise:

"Wow, brother-in-law, that's impressive. No wonder you make so much money."

But he quickly thought of the practical problems:

"This medicine is from America, so it must be very expensive, right?"

Li Ze smiled, his tone relaxed:

"It's alright."

"Currently, according to the treatment course, if you want to be completely cured, you'll need additional rehabilitation treatment over there."

"It should cost around one million US dollars."

"One million US dollars?"

The brother-in-law, Zhang Jianguo, silently did some mental calculations, and his face instantly turned pale.

"That's over seven million Chinese Yuan..."

He has been doing business in town for so many years, and his entire fortune is only a little over ten million.

This will cost us most of our savings.

But without hesitation for a second, he grasped Li Ze's hand tightly:

"Brother-in-law, are you sure you can cure him?"

Li Ze nodded:

"It's highly likely, but a detailed diagnosis in the United States is necessary for a specific diagnosis."

A resolute look of joy appeared on the brother-in-law's face:

"Okay! As long as it can be cured!"

"If what you're saying is true, then tell me right now how to contact that company!"

"Whether it's one million or two million dollars!"

The brother-in-law lowered his voice, his tone unwavering:

"I'm willing to spend any amount of money to cure my daughter! Even if it means going bankrupt, I'll do it to get her treated!"

Li Ze was deeply moved when he saw his brother-in-law like this.

This is fatherly love.

He began to speak:

"It's alright, I'll help you with the money..."

Before he could finish speaking, his brother-in-law interrupted him.

"Brother-in-law, don't say that."

"Zixuan's matter is our family's matter."

"I am already very grateful to you for helping me find a place for treatment. You have provided this opportunity; it is a life-saving favor."

"As for the money, I haven't been working for nothing all these years, so I can still come up with this money."

"I can't let you pay for this; it's a matter of principle."

Looking at his brother-in-law's determined eyes, Li Ze knew he was a strong-willed person.

If you force the money on him, it will only make your brother-in-law feel embarrassed.

So he didn't insist any further and nodded:

"Okay, bro, I'll do as you say."

Li Ze took out his phone and sent the pharmaceutical company's official website and the contact number of the person in charge to his brother-in-law.

To reassure them, he even showed them several case videos of cured patients, as well as various professional post-treatment reports.

After confirming the company's authority and effectiveness, the brother-in-law and sister-in-law finally showed long-lost smiles.

That was a smile that showed hope.

The eldest sister-in-law held Li Ze's hand, tears welling up again, but this time they were tears of joy:

"Li Ze, thank you, thank you so much."

"Your return this time has brought more than just relief to Ruoran after her suffering."

"The same applies to our family, and to Zixuan!"

Li Ze quickly helped his sister-in-law up:

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. We're family, this is what I should do."

After expressing their gratitude, everyone felt much better.

Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran then left the west wing and returned to the courtyard.

The people in the courtyard hadn't left yet, and they were all looking over here with concern.

Seeing the two of them come out, their expressions softened considerably. Second sister-in-law Tang Dan quickly went to greet them and asked:

"How are you? Are you alright now?"

Zhang Ruoran smiled and nodded:

"It's alright, Second Sister-in-law."

"And I have good news to share with everyone: Li Ze has connections abroad, and Zixuan's illness has been addressed and can be cured."

"real?!"

A joyful shout rang out in the courtyard.

Everyone was very happy for the founding of the nation.

At this moment, Second Sister-in-law Tang Dan seemed to remember something and spoke up:

"Since you need to get treatment, it must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Especially when going abroad."

"If they don't have enough money, just ask. My family isn't super rich, but we do have some savings, and I'll definitely help."

Zhang Ruoran also quickly expressed her opinion:

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law is right, I can contribute money too."

Li Ze smiled to himself:

"I just said I would pay, but my brother-in-law wouldn't allow it. However, I'm always ready to pay."

At this moment, Geng Qi, the third sister-in-law, and Zhang Jianmin, the younger brother-in-law, who had been hiding in the back, felt embarrassed seeing everyone so enthusiastic.

Especially Geng Qi, who just caused such a big mess, if she doesn't speak up now, how will she be able to live in this family in the future?

So the two of them quickly squeezed in and said:

"We're willing to pay! As long as it helps Zixuan get better, we'll do our part!"

Second sister-in-law Tang Dan is a person who cannot tolerate any nonsense.

She turned her head, stared at Geng Qi, and snorted coldly:

"Geng Qi, if you want to contribute money, it's not something you can just do casually."

"Look at the mess you made today! You almost ruined two families, almost made your brother and sister-in-law regret it for the rest of their lives!"

"If you ask me, you should at least pay half of the medical expenses! Otherwise, it would be a waste of all the blood Zixuan lost!"

Although Geng Qi is stubborn and has a sharp tongue.

But by this point, she knew she was in the wrong.

In addition, her husband Zhang Jianmin kept giving her meaningful glances, implying that they were indeed at fault.

Geng Qi gritted her teeth. To save face and atone for her sins, she steeled herself and said loudly:

"Okay! Half it is!"

"Although I, Geng Qi, have a sharp tongue, I am not an unreasonable person."

"It was my fault this time, and I accept the punishment! I'm willing to pay more money as long as Zixuan can be cured!"

Upon hearing this, the second sister-in-law immediately pointed at her and said:

"Good! You said it yourself in front of everyone! Everyone heard it!"

"No taking it back!"

Geng Qi straightened her neck:

"Why would I change my mind? It's just money, it's not like I can't afford it!"

After saying that, she turned her head, looked at Li Ze, and casually asked:

"By the way, how much will the treatment cost approximately?"

She thought to herself, "It's just a mental illness, it'll only cost a few hundred thousand at most."

Paying out half would be around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Although it hurts, I can manage to come up with it if I grit my teeth.

Li Ze looked at Geng Qi's "I'm rich" attitude and gave a slight, cold smile.

He said it casually:

"Oh, not much."

"I just had a calculation with my brother-in-law, and ideally, we'd like to achieve a complete cure."

"About a million US dollars."

The courtyard fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Followed by.

Everyone gasped and shouted in unison:

"What?!"

"One million... US dollars?!"

Geng Qi was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale instantly. She took several steps back, twisted her high heels, and almost fell to the ground.

She leaned against a nearby pillar, her lips trembling, her mind racing as she calculated exchange rates.

"One million US dollars...that's over seven million Chinese yuan..."

"Half gone..."

"That's three and a half million..."

"Oh my god!!"

Geng Qi felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if the sky was about to fall.

Three and a half million!

This isn't just giving her money, it's practically taking her life!
