Originally, it was none of my business, but after being given a cold look by Anle, I couldn't finish the watermelon I was eating, choked twice, and couldn't eat any more.

"Um... So, it's true that my aunt's family was too ashamed to face my younger aunt because of this matter, so they went to the city?"

After saying that, he muttered to himself, feeling that this was not the case. This was not like his aunt's family. His aunt's family were not the kind of people who were so embarrassed.

However, if my third grandparents find out about this, they'll definitely make a scene.

He believed you if you said you ran into the city to avoid it for a couple of days, but he didn't believe you if you said you really moved and ran away.

“Well, Auntie, it’s not really appropriate for my family to be in the public eye about this. Why don’t you go and talk to your uncle and aunt?”

"Aren't your aunt and uncle living in this town? Ask them to stand up for you!"

As soon as An Yi finished speaking, his sly, shifty gaze fell on An Mancang.

“Dad, you have something to do today and can’t go back to the village. You still need to learn accounting from Teacher Zhen!”

You're offering to teach someone for free; you can't expect them to just wait around, can you?

Have you memorized all the characters that Teacher Zhen taught you yesterday? Can you write them?

"If you can remember everything and write it down, hurry up and go find Teacher Zhen to test you." An Yi said, glancing unhurriedly at the watch on her wrist.

"Father, it's been more than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea since Teacher Zhen agreed to meet us."

This watch was given to him by Anle, who also taught him how to read it. After learning how to read a watch, he found it very convenient to tell the time.

It has to be said that the things these gods use are both strange and useful.

Anle glanced at An Yi, who was now on the right track, and then withdrew her cool gaze.

This kind of mess has nothing to do with her family anymore.

When she left the house penniless without any regard for feelings, she had already cut all ties completely. Why does she keep haunting her family like a ghost?

An Mancang paused for a moment, about to say something, when An Yi spoke again.

“Dad, even if you could manage this matter, how would you, someone as unrelated as you, argue with the Peng family?

"If you go, you'll just be adding to the numbers; you won't serve any purpose. Your mouth and your mother's mouth combined aren't as eloquent as one aunt's."

Qiao Qiuniang glanced at An Yi, her face full of anger, "Third brother, how dare you talk to your father like that?"

An Yi touched his nose, knowing he was in the wrong. He realized his words had been a bit too harsh, but—

"Mother, don't be angry. I may be blunt, but the reasoning is sound. It's obvious that the Peng family is being unreasonable!"

To deal with this unreasonable person, we need someone as shrewish and domineering as my aunt.

If you send Dad to the Peng family, aren't you just asking for trouble?"

An Manyi, standing to the side, didn't curse or swear this time. Wiping away her tears with her sleeves, she nodded quite rationally, her eyes red and her face ruthless, as if she were ready to fight to the death.

“Nephew is right. I’ll go find Auntie right now. The Peng family is heartless, so don’t blame me for being unjust to the An family.”

If they don't properly invite me back, I'll make a huge scene at the Peng family's place, leaving them in complete chaos!

Then Peng San'er can forget about marrying that vixen.

After gritting her teeth and finishing her sentence, An Manyi was no longer flustered. She swayed her plump waist and strode out with two bundles in a powerful manner.

Quietly, she frowned as she watched An Manyi's retreating figure, her face full of worry.

"Looking at my aunt's posture, it feels like she's about to go and fight someone. I hope something bad will happen next."

An Yi raised an eyebrow dismissively.

"What could possibly happen? How could someone die in broad daylight? The Peng family was in the wrong to begin with."

"But then again, why did our aunt just leave all her family's wealth here and walk away?"

What's going on here?

An Ning glanced at An Yi with a hum, then crossed her arms and imagined what An Manyi had said.

"Didn't my aunt just say she was too ashamed to see her? That's why the Wu family abandoned their relationship and ran away. They probably didn't expect that this perfectly good marriage would turn into such an unmanageable mess, right?"

You know how unruly our third grandparents are!

If they had known their aunt had suffered such a huge loss, would they have been willing to do business with his family?

"Wouldn't they cause a scene at the Wu family's house and go on a rampage?"

"Tch, my aunt's mother-in-law isn't a kind person either, how could she possibly be afraid of our third grandmother and the others?"

"I bet there's something else going on that just happened to cross paths with them." An Yi pondered, then a thought flashed through his mind, and he slapped his thigh.

"Oh, right, didn't my cousin and the others say they went to the Luo family in Jincheng for an assessment? They came to our house to borrow money, but my younger sister didn't give it to them, and suddenly they ran into the city."

Could it be that they're taking my cousin and the others to the Luo family in Jincheng for piano lessons?

Quietly glanced sideways at An Yi.

"My aunt just said that our eldest aunt's family sold off all their houses, fields, and even this shop."

Such a big thing happened, and we didn't hear a sound beforehand. He just left suddenly without even giving our Third Grandmother and her family a message.

I suspect something serious has happened, which is why they're in such a rush.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been absolutely no noise before.

Anle, who knew everything perfectly well, spoke in a lazy, lukewarm tone, displaying an indifferent expression.

"Alright, stop guessing. It has nothing to do with our family. Go do whatever you need to do."

Dad, don't just stand there, hurry up and go learn to read. Don't keep Teacher Zhen waiting. Worrying won't solve this problem.

Teacher Zhen has something to do today and needs to go back to the village. Don't delay her. Finish the assessment quickly and let her go about her business.

She really had absolutely no good feelings towards the people from the An family or her aunt's family.

I wish I could stay far away from them.

Call her cold-blooded or heartless, she simply didn't care for that family. Perhaps it was because she was a later addition to the story, not the original owner.

Therefore, I have no special feelings or blood ties to the relatives in this family, and I don't even have a trace of pity for them.

Not to mention family ties.

Now that the whole family has left, life will be a bit quieter from now on.

Anle felt a slight sense of pleasure, and slept soundly through the night.

But the torrential rain that night, mixed with thunder and lightning that shook the heavens, was swept down by the storm, seemingly with the devastating power of an apocalypse.

Anle was suddenly awakened by a clap of thunder, and his joy was over.

"The rain that had been holding back for so many days finally came down."

Anle rubbed her cheeks, staring at the rattling window, feeling uneasy.

The window was a blurry mess, covered by the storm.

The storm swept in, and the rain pounded against the windows, as if trying to break through and burst in.

The thunder outside was almost within reach!
