Upon seeing Zhang Tianle, he put the items back into his tool bag.
"Master Zhang, is that all?"
Zheng Shanshan was somewhat stunned.
That was solved way too easily, wasn't it?
"Hmm. It's resolved. It was just a rather unusual starving ghost possessing your little aunt."
Just as Zhang Tianle said this, Zheng Shuangyue, who had been lying in bed, woke up.
"What's wrong with me?" The old lady sat up in bed and then felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Oh my god, my stomach hurts so much! Ouch... what's wrong?"
Now, Zheng Shuangyue not only has a stomachache, but she is also experiencing dizziness.
It felt like being hit with a hammer.
She only remembered that it was around her birthday when she placed the jade Guanyin statue that An Youli had given her on the altar, and then she had no memory of anything after that.
And then we got to where we are now.
The old lady frowned, and her gaze suddenly fell on An Youli.
An Youli's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face: "Stepmother, you're all better? Thank goodness, you really scared us these past few days."
An Youli sighed, "You have no idea how much you've been eating lately. You look like a starving ghost reincarnated!"
Zheng Shuangyue's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then I saw Zheng Shanshan leaning closer to me.
"Little Aunt, are you really alright?" Zheng Shanshan held her hand with concern.
"Something's wrong. I have a headache and a stomachache." It's a really bad pain.
Zheng Shuangyue wanted to say that, but the words wouldn't come out. Right now, she just needed to go to the toilet.
"You all wait for me in the living room first," Zheng Shuangyue instructed, and shooed them all out of the room.
After they left, Zheng Shuangyue rushed into the toilet.
Everyone who had been ushered into the living room gathered around Zhang Tianle.
Zheng Shanshan looked at Zhang Tianle: "Master Zhang, is my little aunt alright?"
"Yes. Everything's fine for now." Zhang Tianle nodded. "If someone tries to scheme against us later, I don't know."
As soon as Zhang Tianle finished speaking, An Youli jumped up and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying we're scheming against our stepmother? You'd better watch your mouth. We only have respect for our stepmother, and there's nothing scheming about it. Whenever we have something good, the first person we think of is our stepmother. If you go out and ask around, you'll know how filial we are to our stepmother."
An Youli's elder brother, An Youcai, and younger brother, An Youliang, also immediately said:
"Exactly! Exactly! Your words are clearly implying something, that we are targeting our stepmother! We do not welcome a so-called master like you who sows discord. You, Youcheng, quickly pay this so-called master and then send him out of our An family."
“Of course! Hehe, all the other masters hope we can make money together peacefully, but you, right from the start, want to sow discord between us siblings. Let me tell you, our sibling bond is stronger than gold. We won't fall for your tricks.” An Youcai immediately chimed in.
Faced with their mockery and attempts to drive them away, Zheng Shanshan sneered before Zhang Tianle could even speak: "The master hasn't even said who it is, why are you all jumping out like this?"
"Shanshan, are you even family? Why are you judging us from an outsider's perspective? That's wrong of you. This kid is clearly trying to drive a wedge between us in the An family. You know, when our father was alive, he always told us to get along well, and we've followed his teachings all these years..."
"Brother, stop putting on an act. Everyone here knows we're not on good terms. Otherwise, the old man's dying wish wouldn't have been for us to get along." An Youcheng sneered, "If you really did this, then don't blame us for not remembering our brotherhood."
Now, the An family's conglomerate is basically under their control.
Over the years, these three siblings have been addicted to gambling, spending lavishly in Macau every time they went out. After losing a lot of money, they sold their shares to others, and now the combined shares held by the three siblings are less than one percent.
And they have already intended to sell that one percent.
Because they recently lost a lot of money again.
In other words, they are now disliked by both people and dogs.
"What? You want to fight us? Let me tell you! If you dare to lay a hand on us, don't blame us for being impolite." An Youli sneered.
Over the years, they have sold a number of shares to people who wanted to acquire their company, and they probably don't even know it.
The three of them together hold 30% of the shares. This 30%, plus some of the An family's scattered shares, would make them the major shareholders of the An family.
Unfortunately, they are still thinking about fighting amongst themselves.
What's even more ridiculous is that over the years, after they sold their shares, An Youcheng still paid them dividends according to their previous shareholding.
They almost laughed out loud in their dreams.
They would absolutely never tell these idiots about this.
Anyway, once the dividends are in their hands, they belong to them.
Just as they were about to clash, Zheng Shuangyue stepped out.
Her expression looked much better now.
Zheng Shanshan immediately stepped forward to help her to the front of the crowd.
"What's all the commotion about?" Zheng Shuangyue asked with a gentle smile, looking at the tense crowd.
Unaffected by them: "Speak up, let me be the judge."
“Stepmother, you have to stand up for us! The master your grandniece hired immediately accused us of framing you. Isn’t this trying to sow discord between us and Youcheng and the others? Of course we wouldn’t stand for it. We only said a few words, and Youcheng and the others got angry.”
As An Youli spoke, a few crocodile tears streamed down her face.
But when she lowered her head to wipe away her tears, her eyes were full of calculation.
Over the years, whenever they showed signs of grievance, this stepmother would side with them, always trying to smooth things over and putting on an act of harmony in the family, persuading their children.
It was precisely because of this that they obtained many benefits from An Youcheng and his sister.
So this time they resorted to the same old tricks once again.
This time, however, all they wanted was to kill the old woman so they could get enough shares from her.
Unfortunately, it was ruined by the master Zheng Shanshan invited.
Thinking of this, An Youli glared fiercely at Zhang Tianle.
