Chapter 572: Once You're a Pauper



On the other side, at the Pan family’s home, the Pan parents cried and screamed, their howls heard by everyone, and they cursed the thief a thousand times.

Father Pan was heartbroken that all his private money was gone, and he blamed all the mistakes on his wife. "It's all your fault. Our family is already city dwellers, but you always show off every time you come back to the village, and you lavishly support your family, as if you were afraid that others didn't know how rich our family was. Now, you've been targeted by those village scoundrels, and they've made us penniless."

Mother Pan glared at Father Pan, "How dare you say that? You secretly went back to the village to help your brother. Don't think I don't know. You have money to spend recklessly. Every day you go to restaurants with your friends in the village to eat delicious food or bring them back to our house to drink. You enjoy life better than the capitalists. You even pretend to be generous and invite people to stay overnight for a few days. It's you who let the wolf into the house. No wonder those thieves know everything about our house and know where the money is hidden."

The couple blamed each other, but neither suspected Sister Wan nor Brother Chen.

Pan Ena wanted to suspect Gu Wanwan and the Cheng family, because they were the ones who had a grudge against the Pan family at the moment.

But then he thought it should be impossible. Gu Wanwan didn't know where the Pan family was, and had never been to the Pan family. Only Cheng Ye and Cheng Miaomiao had been to the Cheng family a few times. The other members of the Cheng family disdained to become relatives of the Pan family, let alone come to the Pan family.

It was obviously a gang crime last night, and they were caught on the spot by the sisters. It was definitely not done by Gu Wanwan and her gang. Now that several thieves have been caught by the police, there is no reason for them to put the blame on Gu Wanwan.

What's more, it wasn't just the Pan family that was robbed in the surrounding area. All the wealthy families were robbed. It was said that even the Gu family in the largest compound was robbed. It seemed that there was something fishy going on among them.

Now that her parents' family is out of money, if she continues to stay there, she will only become a burden to the Pan family.

However, her husband Cheng Ye did not come to pick her up for several days. The longer she waited, the more anxious she became, and the more uncertain she felt. The Cheng family gave her the feeling that they did not like the child in her belly.

If she really loved her grandson, she would have come to her house and begged her to go back to her husband's house.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The Pan family could never adapt to a life of poverty, but there was no way. They didn't have a penny now. Those thieves were so wicked that they even pulled out several fruit trees in the yard, leaving no way for the Pan family to survive.

Pan Xiong was first fired, and then his house was robbed. Who knows how those people who had been offended would laugh at the Pan family.

Without the job of No. 1 security guard, I can no longer make quick money, and I don’t have the capital to show off.

Depends on my sister Pan Ena, huh... The Cheng family has kicked her out of the house. Obviously, the Cheng family already knows that he was the one who reported her. How could they continue to give him a back door for the sake of his in-laws and sister?

Not to mention that his biological mother and the Cheng family had a falling out. Captain Tian and his men failed to catch anyone and were instead arrested by the special department. It would be strange if he didn't confess something after entering the special department. Fortunately, the stolen money he collected from ticket sales was snatched away by Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen, otherwise the special department would have come to arrest him long ago.

Ever since the crazy couple came to the First Courtyard, the Pan family seemed to be beset with bad luck. They came here deliberately to defeat the Pan family.

Since the stolen money fell into the hands of Crazy Lady and her gang, can he report it?

Without the nourishment of money, the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting were suddenly reduced to the image of a country girl. "Mom and Dad, what should I do?"

Except for Pan Haohua who was unemployed, the other three sisters were worried about losing their jobs and were asked by Pan's mother to transfer their jobs to Pan Xiong. This was especially true for Pan Haoqin, who was a regular employee of the department store and whose job was transferred to her by Pan Ena after she got married. Pan Haoqi and Pan Haoshu were temporary workers arranged by the Cheng family.

What you fear will come true. Pan's mother said in a tone that would not tolerate rejection, "What can I do? Why don't you go to work right now and give me an advance on next month's salary. And you're good, Qin, your job will be transferred to your brother first. You're going to marry into the Cheng family anyway, so it has to be transferred sooner or later. Your brother is the only root of the Pan family, so how can he not have a job? You're just a money-loser and should just stay at home to take care of your husband and children and do housework. What kind of job do you want?"

Pan Haoqin felt uncomfortable and said weakly, "Mom, I am the counter clerk and all the salespeople are women. My brother is not suitable for this. Even if I want to transfer, I can't. What if the manager disagrees and uses this as an excuse to fire me? It's better for my parents to transfer their official jobs to my brother, and you can just enjoy life at home."

Father Pan thought for a moment before speaking, "Let your mother go. I can still do the job."

It's not that Pan's mother was unwilling, but she didn't want to let her son down. Because of the Cheng family's favor, she got a job as a purchasing agent for the street office canteen, which was a respectable and lucrative job. Every time she went back to the village to purchase vegetables, she would give priority to buying vegetables from her mother's family so that her family could make some money.

Relying on being a relative of the Cheng family, he would fish for three days and rest his nets for two days. It would often take a week for him to go shopping, and the rest of the time he would stay at home and enjoy himself.

When it comes to purchasing, they only buy cheap and unfresh things. Forget meat, as it is only eaten once a month. The vegetables are left for a week, and the vegetables, which are not fresh to begin with, become more and more rotten, causing employees to often get stomach upsets. The employees often express dissatisfaction, but Pan's mother still does her own thing. Considering that Pan's mother is a relative of the Cheng family, those colleagues can only endure it no matter how dissatisfied they are.

Pan's mother was a calculative person. She was very good at making money. Sometimes she would take some of the rice, meat and vegetables she bought and bring them back to the Pan family. This way, the Pan family didn't have to spend a penny and could eat and drink well every day. More importantly, she could take care of her mother's family openly. No matter whether the vegetables from her mother's family were rotten or smelly, she would buy them all.

"Forget it. I'll go to the street office cafeteria to get some food later. Euna, since Cheng Ye won't come to pick you up, you should take the initiative to go to his house. Remember to get money from your husband's family and take it back to your parents' home. Our Pan family is counting on you."

Pan Ena said stubbornly, "Then I am not really embarrassed!"

In this marriage, she thought she was superior to Cheng Ye, and Cheng Ye was just a licking dog who wagged his tail and begged for mercy from her. Unexpectedly, one day the little dog became more arrogant than his master, did not apologize to her, did not realize his mistakes, and even did not try to please her to take her back.

She swore that Cheng Ye and the Cheng family would surrender, but the cruel reality proved that she was thinking too much.

If she took the initiative to go back, wouldn't it mean that she, Pan Ena, had admitted defeat to the Cheng family?

Pan's mother didn't care whether Pan Ena would be embarrassed or not, as long as she got the money, it was all right. "You don't even have food to eat, why do you care about face? Do you want me to support you for nothing? You really don't consider your parents at all. Don't go back to your parents' home if you don't get a few hundred yuan."

Qinqishuhua followed and advised, "Sister, bow your head first, wait until you have gained a firm foothold before making a decision. My sister's marriage is still counting on you."

No matter how unwilling Pan Ena was, she had to go back to her husband's home with a smug look on her face.

Because of the theft in the First Courtyard, the Cheng family fired all the security guards for dereliction of duty and replaced them with a new group of people. Thus, the "Sightseeing Garden" of the First Courtyard officially came to an end.

"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Cheng Ye, I know I was wrong, I'm back..."
