Hong Lanzhi's expression truly changed at this moment. "What? In-laws? That crazy woman He Sanfeng is here?"
"That's right, the old couple came to visit together."
"Let's go, let's go quickly!" Hong Lanzhi couldn't stay still any longer and grabbed her grandson, hurrying off with the woman.
An Yi's eyes darted around, and he grinned gloatingly.
"Hey, you mean our Third Grandma went to her house and they got into a fight?"
An Ning blinked suspiciously, "Why would they suddenly come to our door and start a fight? What happened?"
An Yi enjoys watching the excitement and doesn't mind making things worse.
"Hey, does anyone know? I'm quite curious, why don't we go and take a look?"
"Hey, let's go take a look."
Anjing gently pulled up Anning's sleeve and said helplessly.
"Your parents aren't here, so just stay and watch over them."
Anning stared at Anjing with a disappointed look in her eyes, her gaze tinged with a hint of resentment.
"Big sister, it's rare to have such a lively occasion."
Quietly smiling.
“If something serious had happened, it would have reached our ears by now. We don’t need to go there to check.”
What good would it do us if we got into trouble?
You all know what kind of person Granny Wu is.”
"What the eldest sister said is right. Let's just wait and see what happened that led to this fight at the door."
"I bet our Third Grandmother's family suffered some huge loss." An Yi smiled carefree and pondered for a moment.
At noon, An Mancang and Qiao Qiuniang returned, and their expressions looked a little off.
"What's wrong? Father, Mother, is the matter of studying not settled?" An Yi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at An Mancang and Qiao Qiuniang's expressions, he quickly asked.
"The matter of studying has been taken care of, not because of this matter."
"When we came back, we saw your third aunt and the others making a scene at your eldest aunt's grain shop. We overheard them on our way here, and it seems something terrible has happened."
Upon hearing Qiao Qiuniang mention this, An Yi immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement, looking like a curious child.
"What's wrong? Has something really serious happened?"
What serious incident happened? Could it be that Third Grandmother and the others would cause such a scene at someone else's door?
I only heard today that something happened, but I didn't hear what happened.
Didn't that old lady from the Wu family come over with her little cousin?
I only stayed here for a short while before someone hurriedly called me away!
An Mancang pursed his lips and remained silent, walking past An Yi to the backyard.
Qiao Qiuniang sighed.
"It's all because of your aunt!"
"An Manyi?" An Ning stared wide-eyed, mimicking An Le's tone, and called out the name directly.
Qiao Qiuniang gave An Ning a reproachful look.
"That's your aunt, she has no respect for elders."
"Oh, Mom, don't worry about the way you address me, just tell me already, what's wrong with An Manyi?"
"Just as we suspected, there was definitely something wrong with your aunt's marriage."
I should have found out more about the man's family background before getting married.
I knew something just didn't feel right.
But if we say this, your third grandmother and her family will definitely not listen.
Now that she's married into the family, if she wants to live a good life, she'll have to spend money to cover the losses. I heard that the shop has been losing money all along, but they've been keeping it a secret.
The reason someone married your aunt is because your aunt's family is wealthy and can help you out.
That's why we just married your aunt.
An Yi asked suspiciously, "Then the store is in debt?"
That can't be right.
Didn't you say you were doing a great job?
The cloth shop on East Street has its doors wide open, and it's bustling with people every day!
"This matter is complicated. We don't understand the ways of doing business. I heard that they bought a batch of cloth from someone in the city and haven't paid for it yet."
I originally planned to pay off the debt to the fabric shop in the city once I had some cash flow.
But I heard that the fabric shops in the city suddenly raised their prices, and the price of fabric has jumped several times over, and the outstanding debts have also increased.
"Look, your aunt's husband's family can't come up with the money, right? This has put them in a difficult situation."
An Yi's little face was full of surprise.
"Don't all credit purchases come with IOUs?"
Shouldn't the repayment be made according to the IOU?
"Is it allowed to raise prices on the spot?"
Qiao Qiuniang shook her head. "I don't know. I heard that the cloth merchants in the city are in a hurry to pay this amount. They said that if it's not paid within three days, they will take back the house and shop."
Anning stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Good heavens, she originally wanted to marry into the family and become the shopkeeper's wife, but now she can't be the shopkeeper's wife and has to spend money on the rest!"
I was wondering why this whole thing sounded so unreliable.
So that's how it is. They've dug a pit for people to fall into and are waiting here.
Once a woman marries into a family, she's essentially "in cahoots" with them, sharing both joy and sorrow.
If something goes wrong, we naturally have to share the responsibility; otherwise, how could An Manyi have an easy life?
Anjing turned her head and glanced in the direction of the back door. "No wonder Dad didn't say a word. He must be feeling bad too."
An Yi laughed nonchalantly, "Hey, is that all? What's there to be afraid of?"
Third Grandma's family owns land and is wealthy.
"Just pay some money or some land and it'll be fine, right? Pay to avoid trouble!"
An Ning pouted, "Third Brother, it's easy for you to say, but it's not that simple."
Don't forget about your aunt and her family.
If Third Grandma's family really intends to fill this hole, then what is Auntie capable of doing?
Wouldn't they fight like crazy with Third Grandmother and the others?
"With Auntie's temper, she's never satisfied with getting a good deal and always feels bad about being taken advantage of. How could that possibly work?"
Qiao Qiuniang sighed deeply, her face full of worry.
"That's exactly what the fourth brother said. How could your aunt, with her temper, possibly be willing to pay? This matter is really troublesome."
An Yi raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.
"I said, Mother, why are you worrying about this for no reason?"
Anyway, it's not our family that's having a bad time.
Our family doesn't have much of a relationship with Third Grandma's family anymore, and they're not going to come to our house asking us to raise money for them.
An Ning pouted.
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true."
They wouldn't do it to other people, but to their family, they might actually do it.
Mother, you should avoid them for the next couple of days, and don't go near them.
Don't let this clingy thing stick to our body again.
An Yi nodded in agreement, saying that what he said made sense.
"Mom, hurry up and cook some food. We haven't eaten yet, and we're starving too."
An Yi winked at An Ning with a sly look, sent Qiao Qiu Niang away, and then whispered to An Ning.
