Although I was surprised to have such relatives, it was not uncommon in ancient times, so I thought it was normal. It was only my wife who was surprised because she had never seen such relatives before.
An Shuyi slurped and closed her jaw. "Mom, is this a joke or is it for real?"
"My God, the company boss's wife, she has no worries about food or clothing, no mother-in-law yet, what a great marriage, and she even gave birth to a son, and she gets 5% of the shares, it's like a pie fell from the sky."
"How could such a good thing happen to me and Huahua? If she weren't my second aunt, I would ask her why she wasn't allowed to go by herself."
"What a bizarre creature from that country! It's a good thing I wasn't there, or I would have definitely beaten up her son. I can't beat up the mother, I can beat up the son."
The first time I met someone like this was through her second aunt. It was such a terrible joke. Luckily, I only found out now, otherwise I would have given her a beating.
“Your sarcastic tone is no good. It would be much easier to just curse her directly. When I heard it, I was furious. I didn’t kick her out because I’m good-natured, especially her son, who had this 'that’s how it is' look on his face,” said An’s mother.
Seeing her angry expression, An's father said, "Don't get angry because of her family. If you're still angry, I'll have someone withdraw the investment from her company to help you get revenge."
Over the years, without his help, Shushu's second aunt's family would never have been able to build up the company. To this day, the company hasn't made much money, as long as he withdraws his investment.
The company will go bankrupt in two months at most. It's his fault for fattening up the rat and forgetting that rats can bite.
"Let's forget it. She'll definitely come begging for mercy anyway. My two sons-in-law are so much better than her son and nephew, and she still complains. Her daughter is keeping a close eye on them tonight."
It seems she has ruined her children. Her son is good-for-nothing, and her daughter is infatuated with men. If someone is good-looking and stares at others, that's called personality. But if someone is ugly and stares at others, it just makes people feel disgusted.
Her two daughters look just like their father, with shifty eyes, and they're both almost thirty and still can't get married.
An Shuyi glanced at Xiao Yubai beside her before saying, "Your son-in-law is good, but don't even mention those two cousins. Seriously, it's hard to explain. I'm very curious. My second aunt isn't bad-looking, so how come she found such a bad man?"
She wondered if that man had some special abilities, otherwise, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sleep with him like that at night?
Before An's mother could speak, An's father said, "I know. I heard it was your uncle who was good at talking. When your second aunt was getting married, he came to the door and said a lot of things."
"Your uncle's family is poor and he's not good-looking, so he would peek through your second aunt's window every day, sing love songs, send flowers, say sweet words, and finally promise a big villa, a boss's wife, and a luxury car, and that's how he won over your second aunt."
This is something that anyone who asks around will know. The neighbors all treat it as a joke, bringing it up every now and then, and even telling their daughters to take it as a warning.
An Shuyi nodded, "I don't know how to evaluate this. If you say my second aunt is stupid, she is now a boss's wife with a villa and luxury cars. If you say she's not stupid, she still married such a person."
"And that uncle of mine, he hasn't looked for anyone all these years, but instead stayed by my second aunt's side, which shows how deeply he loves her."
An Shucheng glanced at her and said, "I think you're naive. Is it because he doesn't look for them? No, it's because he can't find them. If he had money, he could have spent it, but does he have money? I know that my second aunt's villa is rented."
"The luxury car is second-hand. As for the boss's wife, even without Dad withdrawing his investment, the company will be finished in two months at most. If Dad withdraws his investment now, he can still recover some losses."
He knew his second aunt's family very well. As long as his uncle couldn't continue, they could take back that floor. Otherwise, collecting rent was like begging, which annoyed him a lot.
Seeing the way her second brother looked at her as if she were an idiot, she felt annoyed. "Second brother, I'm not naive. I just didn't think of this. Who told Uncle to be such a good actor?"
After saying that, he turned to his father and asked, "Dad, if Uncle's company goes bankrupt, will you invest in it?"
Actually, not only she wanted to know, but also An's mother and An Shucheng next to her wanted to know.
An's mother thought that since they were relatives, she would help out again if necessary, but she wouldn't intervene if her husband was unwilling to help.
An Shucheng thought that as long as his father helped, he would never be able to get that floor back, and he would have to beg for rent every month.
Father An shook his head. "I will no longer help their family financially. Over the years, their family alone has already spent a lot of money. You two, as my daughters, have to pay for your own house construction. You never think about getting something for nothing."
“I can’t keep supporting their family and their company forever. That money could buy you a building, but they’re not satisfied. Today they even spoke ill of my son-in-law.”
"Although there's nothing between them now, we should still give them face. Even if they have some thoughts, they should talk about it privately. There's no need to do it in front of so many people. Luckily, there were no reporters today, otherwise, if they wrote something, the stock market would plummet."
“If they don’t come begging, I might give them some money to live on temporarily, but if they do come, I won’t care anymore. Wife, you’re the same, you’re not allowed to give them any money.”
His wife is too soft-hearted. She'd give anyone her heart if they said just a few words to her. Luckily, he's in the family, or she would have squandered it all long ago.
Mom nodded, "Okay, I won't give it to them. To avoid them coming after me, I've decided to go on a trip and come back after the New Year. Then I'll go on another trip until they stop."
She knew she was too soft-hearted, so to avoid lending money out, she decided to go on a trip. It had been decades since she had been on a trip, so she wanted to make the most of it.
“Travel? That’s a good idea. I happen to be going to Haishi on a business trip for a while. Why don’t you come with me?” said An’s father.
"What kind of dream are you having? Everyone says not to put your pillow too high. I can go by myself, why do I have to come with you? No way."
She just wanted to go by herself and didn't want to be a burden. She would be asked when she was coming back and where she was going when she went out to play, which would be so annoying.
"Where are you going to travel? I'll go with you. This world is too dangerous. You need someone to protect you when you go out, otherwise you'll lose your body parts."
At least he has assistants and bodyguards with him, so he's very safe.
An's mother looked at him speechlessly, "I'm just going on vacation, not on patrol. I'll walk in front, followed by bodyguards. People who don't know the situation will think it's the princess traveling."
“If you really want to come along, then don’t bring bodyguards, or stay far away. Otherwise, if something happens, your old arms and legs won’t be of any help.”
An's father looked at her in surprise, "I'm only fifty-two, two years older than you. I'm old and frail, but I've trained for a few years. I can still handle one or two."
