Yunping, however, insisted on using the money to pay off her debts. After all, the huge debt of 10,000 yuan had been weighing heavily on her and Lu Sen for the past few years.
If you have money, you'll naturally think about paying off your debts.
With that, I feel lighter and no longer have to be subservient to my creditors.
An Wan understands; being in debt is really unpleasant, unless it's someone who has no other choice but to borrow money from others to live a life of debauchery, and then refuses to pay it back once they have the money.
Such people feel no guilt whatsoever, and even believe that they are able to borrow money because of their own abilities.
"Wanwan is so filial and well-behaved. Grandpa likes you more and more. I wish you were Grandpa's granddaughter."
Grandpa He always wanted to adopt her as his granddaughter, but she always refused.
That brat He Sichen also disagreed.
He said that if he really acknowledged An Wan as his granddaughter, then his only grandson would go to the Lu family to become Lu Sen's son.
"Grandpa He, you are my dear grandpa. I will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die." An Wan shook his arm, acting cute and adorable.
As long as you can completely win over Grandpa He, I don't believe he won't invest in her pastry shop.
"Good, good, good, Wanwan's sweet talk is getting better and better." With such a cute little granddaughter, Grandpa He was overjoyed.
“Grandpa, I want Mom to open a pastry shop, but her hand… is a little tight.” An Wan held out her right hand to him.
Some babies have a rubber band tied around their chubby fingers, making a gesture of tightness in their hands.
"Hahaha." Seeing her little gestures and funny expressions as she asked for money, Grandpa He laughed loudly, scaring away the swallows in the nearby trees.
Is this child really only five years old?
They're frighteningly smart.

Yunping wasn't home that day, so Anwan took Lu Zhili and Lu Jiayan to have lunch at Grandpa He's place.
We stayed at his place until 2 a.m. before going home, because he had a color TV to watch.
That's right, Grandpa He is that rich.
The newly developed color television became an instant hit throughout China upon its release.
However, it is expensive; you can't buy it for less than three or four thousand yuan.
His retirement home has two units.
An Wan pulled away Lu Zhili, who was reluctant to leave, because watching TV for a long time is bad for the eyes.
Furthermore, we must prevent him from becoming addicted to watching it.
Seeing the courtyard gate open, An Wan knew that Yunping had returned home.
The three of them entered the house and saw Yunping sitting on a stool, drinking water and resting. Niu Ahong and Lu Yong were also there.
"You three are finally back! Come and see how much money we made today." Yunping opened a black cloth bag, which was full of red and blue coins.
An Wan could calculate the approximate amount with just a glance.
One hundred and fifty or sixty yuan, double the amount from yesterday.
It seems Yunping and Lu Yong sold out of pastries this time, which is a bit unexpected. I thought there would be some left.
Everyone was happy, and Yunping killed a pheasant to celebrate.
I hope to sell more pastries and earn more money tomorrow.

Guai Guai stayed in Lu Jingxing's room all day to recover from her injuries. The cat appeared every hour, bringing her lots of delicious fruits, as well as small fish and shrimp.
His attempts to please her terrified her.
But looking at his expressionless, cold face, he didn't seem like someone who liked her at all.
Then why would he prepare so much delicious food for himself?
Forget it, stop overthinking.
——
Lujia Village was quiet in the dead of night.
A light was on in the most luxurious three-story building, and shadowy figures occasionally appeared and swayed in front of the window.
"Daxin, is your plan going to work? How's the preparation going? We'll see if it works tomorrow. If it does, your old lady can finally live a good life."
Grandma Lu cracked sunflower seeds, her triangular eyes fixed on the darkness outside the window.
She longed for daylight so much, for once it was light, her eldest son, Lu Xin, could take over as the manager of the mine.
My monthly salary is 1,000 yuan, plus bonuses and year-end bonuses, so that's a lot of money.
Lu Xin crossed his legs, watching the black and white TV while cracking sunflower seeds, spitting the shells all over the floor.
"Oh, Mother, don't worry! Everything will be perfect. Just wait for good news tomorrow!"
"How can I not be anxious? If we fail, you won't be able to get that position. And I'm also afraid that things will be exposed. I don't want you to go to jail. Who will take care of me in my old age and bury me in the grave?"
Suddenly, Old Mrs. Lu felt a pang of panic. "Last time the plan was so well-arranged, but that bastard managed to evade it. Will it succeed this time?"
He forcefully threw the sunflower seeds onto the table, scattering them all over the floor.
“It’s alright, I’ve found someone experienced, I guarantee it will be a success. Last time was an accident, I didn’t expect him to get promoted so quickly and go on a business trip out of town. He’s going back to the mine tomorrow, things will definitely work out.”
"Mom, just wait and see how good life gets! In a few months, once we've saved enough money, I'll buy you a car so you can ride in it and take you for a spin around the village, hahaha."
Lu Xin was so excited by the thought of becoming the manager of the mine and driving around the village in a car that he felt dizzy with joy.
"Alright then! I believe you. Go to the mine early tomorrow, get along well with everyone, and don't take leave after working a few days. If you work sporadically, who will recognize you?"
Grandma Lu sighed, turned around and went back to her room to sleep.
As soon as she left, Li Xiufang slipped into the living room.
"They didn't even invite me to eat sunflower seeds."
"Eat, eat, eat. What's so good about sunflower seeds?" Lu Xin threw the remaining sunflower seeds on the table and got up to walk around.
"Honey, is it really possible for tomorrow's plan to work out?" Li Xiufang grabbed Lu Xin, who was about to leave.
