Shao Yan's elder sister wanted to close the door, but Xie Yunjiao was quick enough to step halfway across the door and block it.

"What do you want to do!" Shao Hong glared at Xie Yunjiao and shouted into the house, "Minjie, come and help."

After a while, a little girl with a delicate face and a pair of triangular eyes came out of the house.

When she saw Xie Yunjiao, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"Who are you and why are you breaking into a private house? Believe it or not, we will report you to the police and arrest you." Xu Min shouted at Xie Yunjiao.

When Wu Xiaomei heard Xu Min's voice, her eyes almost rolled to the sky.

She hated Shao Hong's lazy and gluttonous daughter the most. She spoke harshly and never gave in. She also often asked Shao Yan for money unreasonably.

Shao Yan refused to give it to her, so she went to complain to Shao Hong and the two elders of the Shao family.

Shao Hong always said that an elder sister is like a mother, and then she whipped Shao Yan severely, forcing Shao Yan to beg for mercy.

Shao Yan has been bullied by Xu Min since she was a child.

She is obviously Xu Min's aunt, but she lives worse than a dog. She can only work hard in the Shao family without any complaints.

Shao Yan almost died of illness once, but she insisted on working outside because she would be beaten if she didn't bring home money.

It was Wu Mingde who saved her and gave her the salary he had received as his disciple, thus saving her from being beaten.

Shao Yan has always felt guilty. If it weren't for her, Wu Mingde would not have been forced to stay in an unknown and shabby academy, causing him to miss the provincial examination two years ago.

Wu Mingde had always been kind to her, and Shao Yan kept it in mind. Gradually, she fell in love with him because he was an upright man with an extraordinary appearance.

But she knew very well that her background was not worthy of Wu Mingde, so she never dared to express her feelings to Wu Mingde.

Later, Shao Hong's husband Xu Jiang heard that an old man had taken a fancy to Shao Yan and wanted to marry her as his concubine, so he immediately accepted the money and agreed.

When Shao Yan learned about this, she planned to escape and also planned to go to Wu Mingde to say goodbye, but she was caught by Xu Jiang halfway.

This happened to be seen by Wu Xiaomei who had just returned home from work. She went to find Wu Mingde and told him about it.

Wu Mingde pretended not to care, but he couldn't help but go back to find Shao Yan. However, at that time, the people in Shao's family had locked Shao Yan in the house to prevent her from escaping, and she couldn't escape at all.

If Xu Min had not informed his family, Shao Yan would not have been captured.

Therefore, Wu Xiaomei hated Xu Min, the inhuman little bitch.

"This is the first time I see someone pushing money out the door. Since you are chasing me away like this, I will go back." Xie Yunjiao wanted to leave after saying this.

Xu Min's eyes lit up when he heard the word money, and he immediately called out to Xie Yunjiao, "What money? Who is it for?"

"It's for Shao Yan. I miscalculated her monthly salary last month and she was shortchanged. I sent it here today," Xie Yunjiao looked at Wu Xiaomei, "Luckily, I have this little girl to lead the way, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find this place. This place is a mess and it's really hard to find.

But it's because I have too much free time, otherwise why would I do such a thankless job? I think I'll just leave it alone and go on my way."

"Don't go. We didn't know it just now. Come in now. How can you not pay back the money you owe? That's my aunt's hard-earned money." Xu Min grabbed Xie Yunjiao and brought her into the yard, then slammed the door shut, locking Wu Xiaomei outside.

Wu Xiaomei stomped her feet angrily and cursed all the members of the Shao family, except Shao Yan of course.

But she didn't dare leave.

It was she who brought Xie Yunjiao here. If anything happened to her, she would be so sorry to her.

She had to stay here and call for help if anything went wrong.

Everyone in this alley is very familiar with her.

Xie Yunjiao entered the Shao family's yard, looked around, and couldn't help frowning.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yan usually kept the house clean and tidy when she went to work, but her house was a mess. There was a pile of unwashed dishes in the yard, and a mountain of clothes were not washed.

There was an indescribable smell coming from the nearby toilet.

The ground is covered with chicken and duck feces, and no one sweeps it. You have to avoid it when you walk, otherwise you will get bitten by it if you are not careful.

If it wasn't for coming in to see Shao Yan, Xie Yunjiao would have wanted to leave long ago.

"Where is Xiao Shao?" Xie Yunjiao asked. As she asked, her eyes fell on a locked hut, thinking that Xiao Shao must be locked up inside.

Xu Min reached out to Xie Yunjiao, interrupting her scrutiny: "Where's the money? Give it to me."

"You little bitch, it's never your turn to take your aunt's money." Shao Hong said.

"Mom, you will spend the money for me anyway, so I'll hold it for you first." Xu Min said with a smile.

Shao Hong snorted coldly: "That's more like it."

Although she was expressing dissatisfaction, her eyes were actually filled with doting as she looked at Xu Min.

"The bills haven't been settled yet, how can we pay?" Xie Yunjiao paused and said, "Besides, I can't see Xiao Shao in person, so who knows if you are really Xiao Shao's relatives or just liars? I don't think you look like Xiao Shao."

"Who wants to be with that bastard... who looks like my aunt?" Xu Min said unhappily.

Xie Yunjiao glanced at Shao Hong and thought that Shao Yan looked quite similar to Shao Hong. She could tell at a glance that they were sisters.

But she said that on purpose, otherwise how could she meet Xiao Shao?

"I won't give money if I can't see anyone."

Xie Yunjiao patted her saddlebag. She had earned quite a bit of change when she bought breakfast today. The jingling sound from the patting was even more beautiful than the sound of musical instruments in the ears of the Shao family.

Hearing the sound of copper coins colliding, even the Shao couple, who had been sitting in the yard basking in the sun, could no longer sit still and stood up with green eyes.

Old Man Shao said: "Since you give money when you meet someone, then take her to find Yan Zi quickly."

Yan Zi will give them the money in the end anyway, so no matter what Xie Yunjiao does, it will be a waste of time.

Old Man Shao's look made Shao Hong understand what was going on. She hurriedly responded and took Xie Yunjiao to Shao Yan's dim little room.

Xie Yunjiao smelled a musty smell in the room. That was because her room never saw the sun all day long, so it had a musty smell.

However, the moment the door of the room opened, she saw Shao Yan and saw that her room was very tidy, which was in sharp contrast to the dirty and messy yard outside.

"Mom, Dad, Big Sister, please let me out. I will work hard to earn money." Shao Yan heard the noise at the door and rushed over. The moment she saw Xie Yunjiao, she was stunned. After a while, she called out, "Boss?"

Is she so desperate for freedom that she's gone crazy? Otherwise, why would she see Xie Yunjiao in her own home?

Shao Yan felt that this must be the case. As she thought about it, tears began to flow and she felt a wave of sadness.
