"Why is it that as soon as they hear you're from Jincheng, they don't want to stay? What's the reason behind that?" An Dalin asked suspiciously.
Anle was not in the hall at this time. He brought the person into the hall and then left.
There were only An Dafeng, An Dalin, and An Mantun and his daughter in the hall. When An Dalin asked her question, An Xian pouted and muttered a few words.
"It's all because of that disaster relief money from Jincheng. Just because they helped Jincheng, they look down on us."
I heard from the carpenter's shopkeeper that Hongcheng donated a lot of money to our Jincheng, but the money wasn't donated by the carpenter's shopkeeper, so what's there to brag about?
We received disaster relief funds, but we didn't receive any money from his family. Why did they talk about my father like that and even kick him out of the house?
As soon as they heard we were from Jincheng, they kicked my dad and me out the door before we could even finish speaking. This happened at several other places we visited.
I don't think Dad will find any work here."
An Dalin listened in a daze, having no idea what was going on or how the disaster relief funds from Jincheng could have offended the carpenter's shop owner.
"You can't find work in Jincheng anymore, and you can't find any jobs here in Hongcheng. How are you going to make a living?"
"With no money to be made and only expenses, we can't make ends meet." An Dafeng's old face wrinkled.
An Mantun glanced at An Dafeng.
"Uncle, do Manshou and the others have any work to do here? What do they do?"
Upon hearing An Mantun mention An Manshou and his group, An Dafeng's old face immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Man Shou and the others, I don’t know what they do, I just know that Le Wazi found them jobs, and they’re easy to do, and they can earn half a tael of silver a month, which is quite a lot.”
An Xian raised an eyebrow, her words sarcastically, "Do my eldest uncle and his family still need to go out and earn money? Isn't it enough for them to just stay in this grand mansion and be supported? Anyway, my uncle's family is quite wealthy, so what's there to worry about them eating us out of house and home?"
As soon as An Xian spoke, An Dafeng's face darkened. "Look at this child, is she even speaking human language?"
How they were raised from a young age really shows who they are.
Seeing that An Dafeng's expression was off, An Mantun quickly scolded him, "What are you talking about here? Do you think your uncles are freeloaders? You're asking for a beating."
An Xian grumbled with a wronged expression, "I didn't say anything wrong." Her uncle's family is rich now, otherwise how could they afford to live in such a grand mansion?
What's wrong with supporting a few people?
Besides, weren't her uncles shamelessly eager to come over?
You're so incompetent that you can't be supported by others, huh!
An Dafeng glanced at An Xian. Although he didn't argue with a child, he got up and walked out because he couldn't stand listening anymore.
"Second brother, I'm going back now."
An Dalin's expression was also rather unpleasant. How could a child be so inarticulate?
He's not young anymore, he's almost old enough to get married, yet he still speaks so recklessly.
"I won't keep you any longer. It's a long way, and if you eat, you might not be able to get back in time." An Dalin started to shoo people away without even trying to keep them.
Anmantun looked a little embarrassed.
"No, Second Uncle, please don't take it to heart with this child. I'm planning to look for work here in the next few days and want to stay here for a couple of days."
Anyway, this place is so big, it's not like we can't fit everyone. I'll leave after I find some work.
An Dalin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Don't tell me that. Go talk to Lewazi about it. This house isn't mine, and it's not something I can decide."
The reason they didn't send anyone to Qiao Qiuniang's place was entirely because of Qiao Qiuniang's personality; if she listened to An Mantun, she would definitely keep the person there.
He didn't want his little granddaughter to feel upset whenever she saw this father and daughter.
If he hadn't been so unfriendly, his precious granddaughter wouldn't have brought people here and left without even giving them a chance to sit down and talk.
Lewazi?
Now it was Anmantun's turn to be stunned. What could she possibly say about this to a child?
He thought he could just say it casually and stay, but he didn't expect that he would have to get a child's consent.
Isn't his second uncle the head of the family? Why does he have to say such things to a kid?
If Lewazi isn't happy about this, he won't be able to stay, right?
When An Xian heard her father say that he was going to stay here for a few days, she immediately became excited and completely ignored An Dalin's words.
“Okay, okay, Dad, let’s stay here for a few days. It’ll be a good opportunity to explore this house. It looks huge! I couldn’t figure it out even after going through so many twists and turns when I came here.”
I've never lived in such a nice house before; it's better than our house and my aunt's house.
Upon hearing An Xian mention An Manxin, An Mantun's face immediately fell. However, he couldn't lash out at his daughter in front of An Dalin, so he could only hold back and change the subject.
"Second Uncle, you can just take care of this little thing. I won't be staying here for long, just a few days. It's not a big deal."
Why bother telling Lewa?
Aren't you the one in charge of this household? Not to mention you, if my elder brother heard this, he would definitely let me stay too.
Or are you saying that you have to listen to even the kids in this house? You have no voice at all?
An Dalin, with a cold, old face, snorted.
"Don't try to provoke me here. Hurry up and find some work, and once you find some, get out of here."
An Mantun smiled and said, "Hey, Second Uncle, I'll go as soon as I find work." He knew that his older brother's family didn't like them much.
Because of the family division dispute, the eldest brother ended up leaving the family with nothing.
From then on, they distanced themselves from their elder brother's family, and their elder brother's family never gave them a kind look again.
However, when the plague broke out before, my older brother sent some medicine to their family. Judging from that, my older brother still has some affection for them.
An Mantun and An Xian settled down at the An residence. An Xian didn't have a moment's rest during the day, wandering around the residence. Just wandering around the residence took up most of the day.
Qiao Zhiqin lived in the same courtyard as the Anjing and Anning sisters. The three of them often gathered together in the small pavilion in the courtyard to embroider and chat.
This has become the norm these past few days.
When An Xian wandered over, she saw the three people sitting in the pavilion eating tea and snacks. She came over and plopped down in the pavilion, grabbing a piece of jujube cake from the stone table without any hesitation.
I took a bite, and it was soft, fluffy, and sweet.
"Mmm...delicious, quiet, this is so delicious, what is it made of?"
