This Sun family is the same family of Sun Yaozu, the young man who died unexpectedly on Tang Xiaoxiao's mountain.

The reason Sun Yaozu took the risk of stealing was because he owed tens of thousands of yuan in gambling debts. With his meager salary, he couldn't pay it off even if he didn't eat or drink for two years. His elderly parents were penniless, so he went astray.

Actually, Tang Xiaoxiao had some suspicions before. No one except her employees knew what was planted on the three mountains she had contracted. The mountains were surrounded by barbed wire fences with signs that read "Private Contract, No Unauthorized Personnel Allowed." It was impossible to see what was happening on the mountains from the foot of the mountain. So how did Sun Yaozu know exactly where she planted medicinal herbs?

According to the villagers who came back from the mountain with him, the footprints in the snow were very clear, and Sun Yaozu had a clear goal: he went straight towards the medicinal herb garden.

It was only later that they learned that a young employee named Tang Wei, who worked on the other side of the mountain, was a good friend of Sun Yaozu. Once, when the two were drinking and chatting, Tang Wei casually mentioned that his boss had planted a lot of valuable medicinal herbs on that mountain, which Sun Yaozu overheard.

What was said casually was taken to heart by the listener. Tang Wei had only mentioned it casually; the company hadn't required them to keep it a secret, so he hadn't broken any rules and didn't take it seriously. Even when Sun Yaozu asked him a few more questions about the details of the herb garden, he didn't pay any attention.

After Sun Yaozu had an accident on the mountain, Tang Wei remembered his loose tongue that day and was afraid to say anything, fearing that either the boss or the Sun family would come after him. As a result, the elderly Sun couple were focused on taking revenge on Tang Xiaoxiao, and were quickly scared away by Tang Xiaoxiao's little tricks. Tang Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, had two children later, and her attention was diverted, so she forgot about this trivial matter.

Tang Wei thought he could finally relax, but little did he know that although Sun Yaozu was gone, the debts he owed were not cleared up. The creditors came to his door in a fierce manner. Since Sun Yaozu was dead and the elderly couple from the Sun family were not in the village, the creditors were not going to let it go after finding nothing.

Tang Wei and Sun Yaozu were best friends. Tang Wei had accompanied Sun Yaozu to gamble a few times. Fortunately, he did not owe any money, but the creditors still remembered him. When they could not find Sun Yaozu, they naturally went to find him.

Through Tang Wei, the creditors learned the address of Sun Yaozu's married sister's home. Tang Wei, perhaps feeling guilty or ashamed, blurted out, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so talkative, Yaozu wouldn't have had this accident." Only after the creditors pressed him for details did they learn the whole story of Sun Yaozu's death.

These creditors were local thugs who ran an underground casino, a small but significant gray area. However, no matter how powerful they were, they dared not provoke Tang Xiaoxiao. After getting information out of Tang Wei, they even secretly told Tang Xiaoxiao's company to curry favor, and naturally, she, the big boss, found out about it.

However, she didn't punish Tang Wei. The First Mountain Company didn't require employees to keep the matter confidential, so Tang Wei's revelation wasn't a violation of company rules. Besides, he hadn't expected that a casual remark would provoke Sun Yaozu's greed.

Secondly, Tang Wei can be considered to have some conscience. Sun Yaozu committed theft and died because of information he obtained from him. Instead of feeling betrayed by his brother, Tang Wei felt extremely guilty and felt that he bore some responsibility.
