An Ning was taken aback.
"Moving? I haven't heard that the Du family is moving."
"It was a decision made on a whim by the master. Yesterday at noon, the real estate agents came to inspect the house, gave it an estimate, and bought it."
I heard that the property deeds for shops and land were also confiscated.
It's clear they have no intention of coming back, and they're not even going to let the brokerage find someone. They've just sold it to the brokerage in a hurry, and at a bargain price!
The brokers were overjoyed to have gotten such a great deal.
I don't know what the master is doing, so eager to sell at such a low price, without even waiting.
Anle, sitting on the sofa by the window, sipping a cup of hot cocoa, paused upon hearing this, then understood perfectly.
This clearly means they don't plan to come back. Otherwise, why would they be in such a hurry to sell off their properties, shops, and land in a massive fire sale?
Blinking, turning her head to look at Xiaoju, Anle smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Sister Xiaoju, has your husband said where he wants to stay?"
Xiaoju was taken aback by the question, turned to look at Anle, and shook her head.
"I don't know. My husband didn't say anything. He just told us to pack our things and leave tomorrow."
Anle smiled and said nothing more.
"Oh, right, our young lady said, well... well, that protective charm—" Xiaoju said, glancing at An Ding with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Seeing that the person was busy at the counter, he then spoke to Anle again and continued to mutter to himself.
"Let me take some back to her. How much do you have left? Sell it all to my young lady."
My wife has used it too, and said it's really good. She's been wanting to try it ever since.
If you leave now, you won't be able to buy it anywhere else later.
Anle raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, sure. Sister Xiaoju, you wait here, I'll go get it for you. I can get as much as you need, Sister Xiaoju." I didn't expect to be able to leave with another business opportunity before leaving.
Xiaoju was delighted.
"Then let's take ten packs to go, no, let's take twenty packs."
She brought enough money with her this time; the old lady, the master, and the young lady all gave her money to buy whatever she wanted.
Her young lady absolutely loved how convenient that thing was.
If you buy too little, and your wife takes it all, there won't be much left. Once it's all used up, that'll be a real problem.
Anle nodded and walked towards the back door.
Xiaoju approached the counter and began to chatter.
"Just three servings of each of the dishes that my grandmother and daughter often like to eat, and also bring a hot coffee for my grandfather."
The dessert shop in Paradise continued its business as usual, without any rush.
The wealthy families in town are already in a frenzy of moving, and those who received the news have long been packing and getting ready to set off.
When the Luo family left, they took all the prominent figures in the town with them; not a single one escaped.
Also receiving the news that day were Wu Liangdong and his wife, who had rushed back from Luojia Village in Jincheng overnight.
The couple had originally gone to the Luo family to deliver money, but they never expected to bring back such earth-shattering news.
The news hit them like a bolt from the blue, and they rushed back without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to his daughter's room.
"Xin'er, Lan'er, don't sit there, hurry up and pack your things to move."
An Manxin, who had rushed into the house covered in dust, hurriedly told her children to get busy.
The three sisters, Wu Qiaoxin, Wu Qiaolan, and Wu Qiaohui, who had been sitting silently and arguing, slowly raised their heads upon hearing this.
Wu Qiaohui frowned, puzzled, as An Manxin picked up the teapot and gulped down a large mouthful of tea.
"Mom, what are we moving to? Why are you rushing around like this?"
Wu Qiaoxin was also surprised to see An Manxin enter the room.
"Mother, why are you back so soon? Didn't you and Father go to Jincheng today? Didn't you say you'd stay overnight and not come back until tomorrow?"
Wu Qiaolan slowly raised her eyelids, looking listless and weak.
He had a look of utter despair, as if saying, "Even if the sky falls, I'll remain unmoved," his face indifferent and his voice lukewarm.
"Why did you rush back so late at night? What happened?"
An Manxin gulped down a pot of tea before finally catching her breath.
"Oh dear, something terrible has happened. Today, your father and I were on our way to the Luo family in Jincheng to deliver money for your eldest sister's sake."
They probably never imagined that things would change so drastically in our Jincheng region. It was renamed and given away to a neighboring country by the new emperor.
If we stay here any longer, we will no longer be citizens of Apocalypse.
The lord of the neighboring Kingdom of Kro is coming. Aren't we going to be wrecked by our neighbor?
The Luo family said that as long as we were willing to go, we could set off together tomorrow afternoon. There were quite a few wealthy families listening to that!
They only agreed to take us away because they saw that our family was well-off.
Otherwise, we might as well stay here and be ravaged by our neighboring country.
Luckily we went today. If we had gone tomorrow, there wouldn't have been any for us. By then, it would have been too late.
Alright, stop asking and hurry up and get ready.
I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning; I'll tell you all about it on the way.
The three Wu sisters were stunned and dumbfounded, never expecting such a thing to happen!
Wu Qiaoxin, who was the first to react, licked her lips and asked.
Where is Dad?
An Manxin paused just before stepping out the door, turned back and threw down a few words, "Go to the brothel, let's go. Shouldn't we sell this mansion and shops as soon as possible?"
"Alright, you two hurry up and get things done. I need to rush to the shop to find your grandma so we can sort through the grain, settle the accounts, and see how much we can sell it for."
"Look at the weather, it rains so suddenly. If it rains, all this grain will be wasted on the road. We can't take it with us, so we'll have to sell it cheaply."
An Manxin muttered to herself, feeling annoyed, and hurried off to the shop. She didn't even think about sending a message to her parents' home.
As soon as it was light, the Wu family sold their house, land, and shops, and the whole family, carrying large and small packages, hired a horse-drawn carriage and headed straight for the city.
Even after a day had passed since they left, the elderly couple from the An family still hadn't realized that their eldest daughter had run away.
An Manyi, still crying and carrying two packages, ran to Wu's Grain Shop, only to find that the shop had been taken over by someone else.
The crying stopped immediately. Pointing to the half-filled grain, she asked the people working in the grain shop with tears and snot all over her face.
"What, what's going on? Where are my older sister and brother-in-law?"
Her brother-in-law usually guards this place.
As soon as she arrives, she can find her brother-in-law.
Why is he nowhere to be seen today?
