"Are you even human?" Third Aunt Li asked, looking at the photo of a person lying on a hospital bed and practically reduced to a mummy.
The photo was downloaded by Su Meixi from a TV series, which featured an actor playing a vegetative person abused by her husband—portrayed in an extremely tragic manner. A little blurring and it was impossible to tell who it was.
Gu Wei said, "It's a person, but she had a car accident two years ago and is now in a vegetative state, lying in bed for two years. If your son marries her, then you could go and help take care of her. This way, our family would save a sum on nanny fees. The saved fees could be used to support their little household, right?"
"No way, my son can't possibly marry such a vegetable!"
"Third Aunt, please help out," Gu Wei pleaded with a thick-skinned look. "Once this chance slips by, there won't be another. A house comes as a dowry, you know."
