An Mancang glanced at An Le, who was being led over from the pastry shop by An Ding, sighed, and did not scold her.

What child wouldn't crave that? It's just that her father is incompetent and doesn't have the money to buy her such a precious treat.

"Lewa, let's go pick up your grandparents and aunt first. After we pick them up, we'll take you to see the doctor."

Anle nodded obediently. She knew about this. She had understood it from the first day she arrived. The money in this family was managed by her grandparents.

They had to get money from their grandparents, who controlled the finances, and even if they earned money themselves, they didn't dare to spend it.

It can only be said that this family is too honest and too stubborn.

I got on an oxcart and was pulled around a street by An Mancang, before stopping in front of a grain shop.

"Brother-in-law, I've come to pick up Mom and Dad."

An Mancang shouted towards the grain shop, and An Le saw a tall man with a shrewd look walk out of the grain shop. He was wearing a decent cotton coat, which was not at all in the same league as the tattered and coarse cloth clothes worn by his family.

"Mancang is here. He's in the backyard. Go and greet him yourself. I have guests here and can't leave."

"Okay, brother-in-law, you go ahead with your work, I'll go by myself."

"Second brother, you wait here, I'll go to the backyard to get your grandparents out."

"Yes," An Ding replied, sitting obediently on the oxcart with his hands tucked in his pockets.

Anle kept her eyes glued to the grain shop.

"Second brother, does this shop belong to our eldest aunt?"

"Yes, our uncle's family is well-off. With such a shop, they live a very comfortable life. Our aunt is really lucky to have married into the family."

Seeing An Ding, this ten-year-old little adult, speaking so maturely, his tone like that of a little old lady, An Le couldn't help but burst out laughing.

An Ding stared blankly at An Le, who was laughing inexplicably.

"Little sister, what are you laughing at?"

Anle mimicked Anding's tone, forcing a mature smile, "Second brother, I will definitely make sure everyone in our family enjoys happiness in the future."

"You are a blessing if you don't cause trouble or mischief and just behave yourself so that your parents don't have to worry about you."

Anle: "..." Why do people always say she's naughty, mischievous, and restless? What did this original owner do before? Besides climbing trees to steal bird eggs, what other criminal record did she have?

The brother and sister waited for a short while before they saw An Mancang carrying large and small bundles, walking out of the alley next to the grain shop, followed by two energetic old men.

An old man dressed in coarse brown cloth had a pipe hanging from his hand, while an old woman in a dark blue cotton-padded jacket had a basket slung over her arm.

An old woman in a floral jacket, cursing and swearing, chased after them.

"You bloodsucking devils! You come to my son's place to eat, drink, take, and steal. It's never going to end! When will it ever stop? You two old hags are wicked!"

Wailing, the old woman in the floral jacket tried to snatch the basket from the old woman in the blue coat.

The old lady in the blue coat was quick and agile, managing to prevent the old lady in the floral jacket from snatching the basket back, and she cursed back in the same unfriendly tone.

"This is a gift from my daughter to me, you old woman, don't make trouble here!"

If you dare to steal again, I'll call out to everyone on the street to judge this for me!

Let everyone see you, you unreasonable old woman! How will you ever dare to show your face in public again, you stingy woman?

"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; once she becomes a member of the Wu family, she belongs to the Wu family!"

Instead of showing filial piety to me, her mother-in-law, she's always thinking about sending things back to her parents' home. How many daughters-in-law in the world are like this, so disloyal and ungrateful?

Go ahead and shout! Shout it out and let everyone come out and judge for themselves. Let's see who's right!

Even if you argue until the very end, the truth still lies with me, Hong Lanzhi!

Anle raised an eyebrow at the old woman in the floral jacket. "Hey? Isn't this the old lady who threw a tantrum in front of that pastry shop?"

Thinking of what that old lady had done in front of the pastry shop, and glancing at another old lady in a blue coat carrying a basket, I felt a surge of joy.

Hey, if this old lady has the nerve to throw a tantrum in front of someone's pastry shop, how could she be too ashamed to go out?

Just as he was feeling pleased, he saw the old woman in the blue coat carrying a basket start crying and shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Oh my God, come and see! This old woman can't go on living like this! My in-laws are trying to force this old woman to her death!"

I stayed at my daughter's house for ten days straight, doing laundry, cooking, looking after the house and yard, and taking care of my grandson. But my in-laws never showed up. When I finished my chores and was about to leave, they suddenly appeared.

Even hiring a cleaning lady would cost at least two taels of silver, right?

My daughter gave me a few eggs, but my in-laws are furious. They're making this old woman work for free, not giving me a single penny!

"That heartless bastard! It's outrageous!"

The old woman in the blue coat sat down on the ground with her basket slung over her shoulder, closed her eyes, and began to wail.

An old man standing to the side, holding a pipe, looked embarrassed. He wanted the eggs but also wanted to save face. He was caught in a dilemma, unable to say anything or remain silent. In the end, he hit An Mancang on the back with his pipe.

"What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you helping your mother up? You're embarrassing yourself, embarrassing yourself!"

An Mancang pursed his lips and remained silent, then stepped forward to try and help the old lady in the blue coat up.

The old lady grabbed and flailed as she pushed Anmancang away.

"You're such an unfilial and worthless brat! I've raised you all these years for nothing, and you just stand by and watch your mother get bullied like this!"
