Upon hearing Jiang Pingshan's words, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others were extremely disappointed in him. They had originally held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that he hadn't done such a thing and that Jiang Tao was just talking nonsense. But in just a short while, he had admitted it.

Liu was so angry that she immediately brought up Jiang Pingshan.

"Jiang Pingshan, what were you thinking? What did you promise me before? You said that if Wanwan paid you this much a day, you would definitely do a good job, and this is what you did!"

Other people's fathers work hard to make money, but her father is involved in these crooked and shady dealings.

Is he really that short of money?

Jiang Xiaoyu felt increasingly uneasy and said, "Dad, you've disappointed us so much. No matter how Wanwan and the others treat you this time, we won't help you!"

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Pingshan's heart skipped a beat. He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and began to admit his mistake.

"Wanwan, Wanwan, I was wrong, Uncle was wrong, I was just out of my mind for a moment, please forgive me, I will never do such a thing again."

Now that we know we were wrong, it's too late!

An Wanwan said firmly, "I said before that if you work hard and are conscientious, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. However, you did this. I, An Wanwan, cannot tolerate such behavior. I have already been very lenient by not reporting you to the authorities. From today onwards, you don't need to work for our shop anymore. We can't afford to employ someone like you..."

"that is."

An Miaomiao and An Ke echoed this.

Su Yueniang and the others remained silent, undoubtedly agreeing with An Wanwan's decision.

When Jiang Pingshan's pleas to An Wanwan proved useless, he turned to Su Yueniang and the others for help.

Su Yueniang and the others stood aside, not saying a word, none of them intending to speak up for him.

Jiang Pingshan was filled with resentment but had no choice. Fearing that if he argued with An Wanwan and the others, she would send him to see the authorities, he stopped begging them and took out the money he had hidden in the rat hole in the backyard of the shop, and gave it to An Wanwan.

He and Jiang Tao both thought that was the end of it.

Who would have thought?

An Wanwan called out to them.

"Wait, this isn't over yet! You conspired to steal our oxcart, which now costs eighteen taels of silver to buy back. You'll have to pay the extra four taels. Also, this incident caused delays in our delivery orders, affecting our business, so you have to compensate us for that. We won't ask for more; just one tael of silver..."

"An Wanwan, why don't you just go and rob it!"

Ms. Tian was completely distraught. She had returned the money, lost face, and now she had to pay out even more money.

An Miaomiao snorted coldly and said, "That's too much? If you ask me, I'll make them each pay two taels of silver. You don't want to pay, huh? Then let's go to the yamen..."

"don't want!"

Jiang Pingshan shouted out.

He was just an ordinary citizen, so naturally he was afraid to go to the government office.

Originally, An Wanwan wanted them to pay one or two taels of silver each, but An Miaomiao changed it from each person paying five hundred coins to each person paying one or two taels of silver. Adding the previous four taels of silver, that means each person would give their family three taels of silver.

The Tian family was heartbroken but didn't want to cause trouble at the yamen, so they had no choice but to give it to them.

They gave so much money all at once.

The Tian family was very uneasy. On the way back, they first cursed Jiang Tao, then Jiang Pingshan, and even wanted him to pay for it.

Jiang Pingshan paused, then said, "You want me to pay all the money? You wish! Did I force your Jiang Tao to steal the oxcart? He did it willingly, and now you don't want to take responsibility for what happened. How dare you say such things!"
