"Father, Father, why did you come at this time?" Qiao Qiuniang's face twitched unnaturally.

"If I don't come over, this will have to go to court." An Dalin, exuding a cold aura, fixed his gaze on the elderly couple, An Daliang and his wife.

What kind of trouble is this third brother up to now that he's come here?

They didn't come on opening day, but they came now.

Anle smiled and surrounded them.

"Grandpa came at the right time. The Third Grandma's family has come here to settle accounts again."

They said they owed my father a debt of gratitude for giving birth to him, and they were forcing him to repay that debt.

You said that since the baby has already been born, we can't just take its life back and put it back into Third Grandmother's belly.

Now our whole family is in a real predicament; there's no way to resolve this.

I think we should take this to court and let them give us justice in court, and see how this matter can be settled!

Otherwise, with my third aunt's family constantly changing their minds, my father would never be able to get by.

It's not like my dad didn't want to raise me.

Before the adoption, it was the third aunt's family who insisted on having my father adopted by my grandfather.

Now, Grandma San's family is having second thoughts.

They kept finding ways to torment my dad, and he was driven to desperation, so I came up with this idea.

Grandpa, what do you think?

Upon hearing this, An Dalin's face darkened instantly, turning as black as the bottom of a pot!

"An Daliang! What the hell are you trying to do?"

Are you ever going to stop?

Even if you're picking the softest persimmon, shouldn't you have finished picking it by now?

What else do you want?

An Daliang felt a little uneasy after being yelled at. He paused for a moment, then put on a stern face and said...

"Second brother, although this son is now yours, he was still born and raised by me. What's wrong with me asking him to repay my kindness and be filial?"

Now that he's doing well financially, he's completely forgotten about us old folks. That's ungrateful!

"Is it that Mancang is ungrateful? Or are you two old folks just senile and confused?"

Let's meet in court!

Lewazi is right.

This matter is beyond our ability to resolve between our two families; let's settle it in court.

He Sanfeng was stunned. A courtroom?

"Second brother, we can sort out our own family matters behind closed doors. Why are you making a scene in court?"

This is so embarrassing, it's even happened in court.

He Sanfeng sat down on the ground and started howling at the top of her lungs again, throwing a tantrum and threatening to hang herself, almost as if she were about to hang herself from the rafters.

An Dalin, enraged, kicked away He Sanfeng, who was clinging to his leg, and spat.

"Pah, don't give me that crap. You know this is shameful?"

I think you two old folks have long since lost your sense of shame; you've become utterly shameless!

Aren't you ashamed to go through so much trouble for your own children?

My old face is getting really angry for you guys!

An Daliang moved his lips.

"Second brother, don't talk to me about these nonsense."

This time, I'll give you fifty taels of silver, and that will settle all the debts of gratitude for raising and nurturing you. This matter will never be repeated.

Even if this matter goes to court, it still has to be handled this way!

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. Let's leave family matters to the court and not trouble ourselves with them. That's how it should be handled.”

An Dalin was stunned for a moment, then his whole body trembled, and he pointed a trembling finger at An Daliang.

"Da Liang, what did you say? Say it again."

An Daliang stubbornly repeated, "I said, I want fifty taels of silver."

"You, you, you want to drink blood?!" An Dalin's face turned pale and then purple with anger. His shout startled even An Le.

"Grandpa, don't worry, don't be angry, don't be angry. Even if he wants it, we won't give it to him!"

This matter needs to be resolved in court, and we'll pay whatever the court rules.

Anle quickly patted An Dalin back to calm him down and then turned to look at An Mancang.

"Dad, things have come to this point. What do you say? We'll do whatever you say."

An Mancang pursed his lips, remained silent for a long while, and then uttered in a hoarse voice, "Let's go to court."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. The news that the two families of An Daliang and An Dalin were going to court spread like wildfire throughout the village.

With a head full of troubles, Li Changsheng once again went to the door of An Dalin's family.

"I'm telling you, your younger brother is a real good-for-nothing. He can't stand seeing Mancang doing well."

"We were just starting to get comfortable, and now this has happened."

At this moment, An Dalin finally understood the whole story from the children and Qiao Qiuniang, and his old face turned ashen.

"My third brother, whether there's something going on in his family or not, he always manages to drag Mancang into it."

Fifty taels of silver? If it were ten or five taels, I could have easily come up with the money.

Fifty taels of silver is far too much; it's blatantly a blood-sucking attempt to kill Mancang.

Li Changsheng's face changed, and his voice immediately changed as well, "What? Fifty taels?"

An Dalin smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Brother Changsheng! You must have heard about what happened with that kid Manyi, right?"

The village head nodded. "I've heard about it."

An Dalin sighed, "It's all because of that child!"

This is just one thing after another, it's so frustrating!

They just finished dividing the family property, and now this new trouble has arisen. It seems they're determined not to let the children have a good life.
