Chapter 125 Aunt's Confession

Hearing Liang Yi's words, An Min felt somewhat helpless, but the gloomy mood she had just felt completely dissipated with Liang Yi's words.

After saying that, Liang Yi continued cleaning, and soon the whole room was clean again.

Liang Yi went to the old army canteen to get food and ate with An Min. After that, he told An Min to go and rest.

The lights in the house were broken. They were supposed to stay here for a few more days, and it would be really difficult to fix a broken light, so he decided to fix it first.

When Anmin woke up the next day, there was no one around her.

She had just sat up when the door opened and Liang Yi walked in.

"Luckily we arrived early. There were still plenty of delicious food in the cafeteria. This is your favorite cornmeal drink."

As soon as the food box was opened, the steaming hot food immediately wafted out with its aroma.

The two had just sat down to eat when Director Yang knocked on the door and came in.

"I was wondering why the person I ran into in the cafeteria looked so familiar. It really was him. When did you two get back?"

She thought they would stay in that village for a long time, but she didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"You just got back yesterday, what's wrong, Director Yang? Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing An Min's question, Director Yang's face showed a somewhat troubled expression.

She had heard about the conflict between An Min and Qin Shulan.

But she came here today because of Qin Shulan.

After hesitating for a moment, Director Yang simply said what he wanted to say.

"Actually, it's not me who needs to talk to you, it's your aunt Qin Shulan who needs to talk to you."

"She heard about Andy On from somewhere... Anyway, she meant that she had heard about what happened back then from your mother, and she wanted to meet you, but she was afraid that you would turn her away, so she came to me and asked me to ask you what you thought first."

“If you’re willing to see her, I’ll go and tell her to come over. If you’re not, then pretend I never said anything. Who knows if she’s using your mother’s words to try and say something else to you?”

Director Yang is now in a real dilemma. She should never have agreed to Qin Shulan's request.

If I hadn't agreed to her request, none of this would have happened.

It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted.

"Okay, then have her come over."

However, to everyone's surprise, An Min agreed very readily after she finished speaking.

An Min also wanted to know what Qin Shulan meant by "knowing something".

Perhaps at that time, the relationship between my mother and Qin Shulan was indeed very good.
The two also exchanged letters, and it's possible that she possesses some truly important evidence.

"Okay, I'll go and tell her to come over."

Director Yang was about to turn around and leave when he paused, seemingly remembering something.

"Actually, later your aunt realized she was wrong. She shouldn't have made you do so many things for her daughter."

“Because of Wei Hong’s incident, which has become widely known, your aunt’s husband beats and scolds her every day at home. Her life is not easy. We have tried to mediate many times, but it has not worked.”

At this point, Director Yang sighed.

“I’m telling you this not to soften your heart, but just to let you know that your aunt is not a bad person at heart, but she is too timid and has been oppressed by her husband her whole life. There are some things she can’t make decisions about, and she doesn’t dare to make decisions about.”

After all, when An Min first arrived in the Northwest, it was thanks to Qin Shulan's constant help that she was able to get through the first few days safely.

In addition, Qin Shulan also acted as a matchmaker between Liang Yi and Liang Yi.

An Min certainly remembered this kindness, and as long as she wasn't asked to do anything illegal or criminal, she would do her best to repay it. "I know, thank you, Director Yang."

After An Min finished speaking, Director Yang went to relay the message to Qin Shulan.

After An Min and Liang Yi finished their meal, there was a knock on the door. Liang Yi got up to open the door and saw Qin Shulan standing at the door, looking somewhat reserved.

"It's Auntie, please come in."

Liang Yi opened the door to let Qin Shulan in.

Anmin sat quietly not far away, watching her aunt.

My aunt has indeed aged a lot compared to before. Her once jet-black hair has turned gray, and she looks haggard and thin.

They all look much older.

“Minmin, I came here to give you some letters your mother wrote to me before. I know what An Zhijie has done. I also know you want to send him to jail. I hope these letters can help you.”

Qin Shulan stepped forward and placed the letter in her hand on the table.

There weren't many letters; I counted only seven or eight in total.

When she and her sister separated their property, she did not take any of the family's assets.

Because she insisted on coming to the Northwest, her father was very angry and refused to give her a single penny.

She said she didn't want their money and that she could survive in the Northwest on her own.

Back then, he was young and arrogant, always thinking he could make something of himself. But later, time wore away all his passion, and then he married such a husband.

He now realizes how foolish his decision was.

Even if she really went to the Northwest, she should have truly devoted herself to its development, instead of finding a husband like this.

Later, when her younger sister heard that she was having a hard time, she would often send money and letters back home. She also told her that she would hide the money and not give it all to the family.

She didn't listen to her sister.

These letters also contain the younger sister's account from back then, as well as some of Andy On's words.

Qin Shulan thought these letters might be helpful to Anmin, so she sent them over.

“I was wrong about what happened back then, and I know I was wrong. But I never imagined that your mother would have to go through such a hardship. If I, as her older sister, had cared for her sooner, or gone to Haicheng to visit her, perhaps none of this would have happened.”

As she spoke, Qin Shulan's eyes immediately reddened, and tears fell to the ground in a steady stream.

People often only realize what they once had after they've lost it.

Unfortunately, what's lost is lost and can never be regained.

"No matter what, I thank you for protecting me back then, and for sending me these letters. Auntie, we will always be family."

Upon hearing An Min's last words, Qin Shulan raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Okay...okay, I feel much more at ease knowing you said that. You go ahead with your work, and come find me if you need anything else."

After saying that, Qin Shulan left.

Anmin couldn't wait to open one of the letters.

Most of them were about everyday family matters, and things that my mother told my aunt.

There are many trivial matters, so she needs to find something useful among them.

Liang Yi also sat down to help her look.

"Don't worry, we'll look slowly, we'll definitely find it."
