They supported themselves on their own, sold all the houses and land under their names, and pawned everything they could, and finally paid off all the debts.
But he was penniless from then on, even worse off than when he redeemed himself.
Over the years, the three sisters have always spoken amicably in their business, but there have always been people who are jealous of them. After the three sisters went bankrupt, jackals, tigers and leopards all came to their door.
Not only did the original owner not help, he also acted as a guide, trying to squeeze out every last bit of value from the three adoptive mothers.
The three sisters had strong personalities and were unwilling to engage in their previous livelihoods after redeeming themselves. The original owner returned home and drugged the three sisters on the pretext of repentance, and was then sneaked into the room.
In the final ending, the three sisters ended their lives with a rope.
After reading the original owner's memories, An Jingzhi sighed.
He is brainless and greedy, and doesn't know how to repay kindness.
The three sisters' business was doing well, and he could have had a better life, but he ended up with nothing.
He didn't have a good ending after the death of the three sisters. He was a guide, and people took advantage of him and looked down on him.
He was beaten out like a dead dog, covered in wounds but with no money to treat his illness. He died on the roadside and was eaten by wild dogs.
The original owner deserved it, but his three mothers are admirable.
"Jingzhi, why are you here?" After dealing with the workers, Ruan Miaoling, with a tired face, asked in surprise when she saw An Jingzhi standing at the corner.
"I heard something happened at home and rushed back to check it out," An Jingzhi said, "Don't worry, Sanniang, I have a way to solve it."
Ruan Miaoling is the youngest of the three sisters but the most educated.
She is usually gentle and seems easy to bully, but in fact she is a soft-spoken person with a strong heart. Otherwise, she and her two sisters would not be able to build such a huge industry by relying on their bodies as women.
She rubbed her brows and forced a smile. "It's okay. The workers have already persuaded them to go back. Your aunt and second aunt will take care of the family affairs. You don't have to worry."
How can the other party solve the problem? I have gone to collect the debt several times, but each time I was kicked out.
Things have already happened. Although they are a little angry at the original owner's self-willed behavior, they are their children after all. They can only blame themselves for not trusting the other party and letting him be fooled by others.
Seeing some scratches on the original owner's chin, Ruan Miaoling exclaimed distressedly: "Where did you get the scratch on your chin? Did those people beat you up?"
Without waiting for An Jingzhi to answer, she quickly pulled him forward.
After sitting down in the living room, Sanniang Ruan Miaoling hurriedly took out some things to treat the wound. Their actions alarmed the eldest and second aunts who were discussing something in the study.
"What's going on?" The old lady asked loudly as soon as she saw the condition of An Jing's chin.
Even the usually calm second mother Yu Liangzhen frowned and quickened her pace, walking to An Jingzhi to check the wound on his chin.
Being cared for by three mothers, An Jingzhi despised the original owner in his heart, thinking that he really didn't know how to appreciate the blessings he had.
He despised the three mothers' backgrounds, but he didn't think about whether they could choose their own backgrounds. Weren't they all forced to be sold to such a place by their families? As soon as they were able to, didn't they redeem themselves and want to live on their own?
What's more, if there were no three people, how could he exist?
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and even in the so-called prosperous Magic City, many people are starving to death or freezing to death on the streets.
Not only can he have enough food and clothing, he can also go to school and eat in high-end restaurants. Isn't all this due to the three mothers he looks down upon?
"It's okay," he said with a smile in response to the concern of the three mothers, "I fell on the way back and accidentally hit my chin."
Just after going to ask for money, my jaw was injured. The three of them knew the arrogance of those people. The old lady made up her mind and said:
"Jingzhi, don't ask for the money. We can't defeat these people, so just consider it a lesson."
"Yes, we businessmen cannot defeat those officials, so we should not deal with them in the future." Er Niang said.
Sanniang nodded in agreement and said softly, "We've suffered a loss this time, but it's not entirely your fault. You have no experience, so it's inevitable that you'll be cheated by others."
"Let's leave it at that. Over the years, your aunt and stepmother and I have saved up some valuables. We sold them all and were able to pay off the workers and the debts."
An Jingzhi lowered his head in guilt. "It's all my fault. I knew everyone looked down on our family, and I thought if we could do business with the government, they would definitely not dare to look down on us in the future."
"I should have thought about it. Why would an order that even big merchants can't get fall to us? Auntie, Auntie, Auntie," he raised his head, his tone sad, "you can hit me and scold me."
The three of them were suddenly shocked when they heard his words.
The old lady asked bluntly, "So you ignored our advice and insisted on signing this order just to make others think highly of our family?"
The usually calm Er Niang's hands were trembling slightly. She stopped shaking and asked calmly, "Jingzhi, do you really think so?"
They also thought that this son looked down on the backgrounds of his three mothers.
I don’t know when it started, but this son became more and more distant from them, and he never said a word during meals.
Every time I look for them, I always have a request to make and only then will they say a few nice words.
There were several times when neighbors talked about them in front of her son, but her son just remained silent and turned around to close the door. She thought that the other party felt that they were embarrassed.
Sanniang Ruan Miaoling was so moved that she burst into tears. "I knew it, I knew Jingzhi was a good child." She rested An Jingzhi's head in her arms, just like the original owner did when he was a child, and slowly stroked his head. "Our Jingzhi is a good child with a conscience."
Second sister Yu Liangzhen has never cried since she was old enough to understand. When the three sisters founded the textile factory, they encountered countless difficulties, but she never shed a tear.
Later, when her identity was discovered by people around her and she was scolded, she never took it to heart.
She thought she had forgotten how to cry, but now her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances.
The eldest sister held her in her arms to comfort her, her eyes also filled with tears.
Their hard work was not in vain. They didn't ask the child to do anything, but at least not to look down on them like others did.
Ever since her identity was exposed, the old lady who used to have a hot temper in front of the original owner has calmed down a lot, and always feels guilty when facing the original owner.
All of this comes from caring.
"It doesn't matter if we have no money. We three sisters had nothing in the beginning, but we still worked hard all the way to get here." The eldest lady pulled An Jingzhi and Sanniang over, and the four of them put their hands together. "The most important thing is that we are united. At worst, we can start all over again!"
Although she spoke with great pride, An Jingzhi knew clearly that the old lady and the others must be feeling very sorry that the business they had worked so hard to build up over the years had turned into nothing in one day.
