Inside the grain shop, the brokers busy packing grain glanced up at An Manyi, then lowered their heads again and continued their work.
“The people have been gone all day and have entered the city. They’re selling this to our brokerage firm, along with all this grain.”
An Manyi's swollen eyes, shaped like walnuts, were filled with confusion.
"Gone? Gone? This place was sold? Why did they sell it?"
The broker waved his hand impatiently; such a big guy was blocking the shop, making it impossible for people to move around.
"How would I know? Get out of the way, you're blocking the way!"
An Manyi lifted her foot and moved back a little, feeling a bit dazed. Then she picked up two bundles and headed towards the Wu family's new house.
Outside the new house, they ran into a real estate agent and learned that not only the shop had been sold, but the Wu family had also sold their house and land together. They had gone to the government office early yesterday morning to complete the transfer of ownership.
It seemed that everything changed overnight. Not only was she divorced by Peng San'er, but her eldest sister and brother-in-law's whole family also disappeared overnight, and no one knew where they went.
An Manyi stood outside the new house, stunned for a long time, before finally running out of the alley...
Inside the Paradise Dessert Shop, Anle was leisurely gazing out the window, eating fries and drinking milk tea, while staring at the bite-sized pastry across from her.
These days, she's just waiting for Yi Kou Su to close down so she can take over.
The store across the street is deserted every day with only a few regular customers, yet it has managed to hold on until now and still hasn't closed!
Just as I was racking my brains trying to figure out a way to take over the shop across the street, An Manyi, that humanoid little tank, came howling and pounced into the doorway—
"Waaah... Second Brother, Peng San'er divorced me!"
My older sister and her family have disappeared. We don't know where they went or what they did. They didn't leave any message. What should we do?
"Now I'm a discarded woman, how am I supposed to live?"
The piercing sound assaulted his eardrums. Anle rubbed his ears and laughed in exasperation.
Anle slowly put down her milk tea, then glanced at the person with a cold look in her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
“I said, Auntie, what are you doing here at my house wailing like that?”
My aunt's house is gone, but it's not like my dad hid it.
If you want to cry, go cry at your own home, don't yell at me in my shop!
Did they run away?
It seems that the 200 taels of silver have been handed over!
He got the news and went with the Luo family.
Perfect, quiet now!
An Mancang and Qiao Qiuniang, however, were not as calm as An Le. Upon hearing this, they both put down what they were doing and gathered around.
Qiao Qiuniang wiped her hands on her apron, listening with a confused and anxious expression.
"Satisfied, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying that my sister's whole family is missing?"
"Ask me, I don't know either!"
Waaah... I went to my older sister's grain shop today and saw several people there picking up grain.
I didn't see my older sister or brother-in-law either!
I asked one question, and they said the shop had been sold and the owner had left a day ago, gone into the city, and they didn't know where he went.
I heard from the brokers that... they said even the house and land were sold, and the transaction was completed at the yamen early yesterday morning.
They sold everything and disappeared; isn't that just running away?
Where did it go?
Do you know that Peng San'er divorced you and you're too ashamed to face me?
Waaaaah... I can't go on living either..."
"Shut up, you're so noisy." An Le coldly yelled at An Manyi, who was startled and froze.
Then an even louder wail entered Anle's ears.
"Wow... even a little brat dares to bully me like this! Second brother, she's yelling at me like this, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Anning was also driven crazy by the noise, covering her ears, feeling irritable and frustrated.
“I said, Aunt, stop crying. What’s the use of crying?”
You've already been divorced, so coming to my house to complain won't do you any good!
Who told you to be close to them? Who should you contact?
Your aunt and uncle ran away because of this, so go find your third grandparents.
Your marriage wasn't arranged by our family in the first place, was it?
The matchmaker was the eldest aunt.
The decision was made by the third grandfather and third grandmother.
My family didn't get involved in this matter.
"You've gotten yourself into trouble, and now you know to come to my house expecting me to cover for you? Why should I?"
An Ning, her face dark, threw the rag in her hand onto the table, hands on her hips, panting heavily.
Anjing glanced at An Mancang, who was clenching his fists, straightened Anning's clothes, and sighed softly.
"Alright, stop talking. Can't you see how upset and troubled Dad looks? Don't add fuel to the fire by stirring up trouble here."
Qiao Qiuniang's expression was also somewhat unpleasant.
How come he was suddenly dismissed from his post?
Wasn't that debt already resolved?
Moreover, he had to ask his third uncle and aunt to sell their own house to help the Peng family resolve the issue.
In the end, he ended up being divorced.
"Satisfied, don't cry yet. Do your third uncle and aunt know about what happened between your eldest sister and you?"
An Manyi shook her head, sobbing.
"No, after being kicked out by the Peng family, I went straight to my eldest sister's grain shop. I haven't had a chance to go back and tell them yet."
An Ding placed the freshly baked egg tarts into the display window before walking over to glance at An Mancang and pursing his lips.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt's family has gone to the city. Where are we going to find them? The city is huge!"
The shop isn't busy today, Dad, why don't you take Auntie to the village first, and talk to Third Grandpa and Third Grandma about this, and go talk to the Peng family about it."
Qiao Qiuniang nodded, "Yes, what the second brother said makes sense!"
They should give someone an explanation for divorcing him in the first place. Why was he divorced in the first place?
Ever since Manyi entered the Peng family, hasn't she been helping them all along? She even helped them solve such a large debt problem!
Instead of properly expressing my gratitude, I was divorced.
The Peng family's actions are completely unreasonable.
Upon hearing Qiao Qiuniang's words, An Manyi couldn't help but let her tears fall again, one after another.
"Waaah... Sister-in-law, Peng San'er has gotten together with Cuihua next door."
That Cuihua is a vixen. She dresses up in a flashy way every day and tries to seduce Peng San'er every few days. Her slender waist is something I can't compare to.
Peng San'er was influenced by her pillow talk, how could he not listen to her and divorce me?
That vixen just thought I took up too much space, so she kicked me out to make room for herself.
He rested his elbows on the counter, relaxed and carefree, eating a melon while listening.
Originally, it was none of my business, but after being given a cold look by Anle, I couldn't finish the watermelon I was eating, choked twice, and couldn't eat any more.
