Chapter 146 A healthy baby boy was born
An Min sneered inwardly as she watched Zhao Caihua's exasperated expression after missing her target.

This second aunt, after failing to cause a scene in the house yesterday, is now blocking people in the hallway and even trying to physically assault them.

"Second Aunt, what's this all about so early in the morning?"

Anmin's voice was loud enough for the neighbors, who were listening intently from several floors up and down the stairs, to hear clearly.

If they're so eager to see a spectacle, then let them have their fun.

She has nothing to fear, and she'll show them that An Min is not someone to be trifled with.

“I told you yesterday that we really don’t have any money at home. If you want to borrow money for your trip home, Liang Yi and I can chip in, fifty yuan, we really don’t have any.”

"Besides, it's not right for you to ask us for a dowry when your son gets married, is it? Does Liang Yi have some kind of grown-up son now?"

An Min's casual words almost made Zhao Caihua explode.

What does she mean? How dare she say that her son is Liang Yi's?

The generational hierarchy has been completely messed up.

That damn woman, she looks so gentle, how can she talk so shamelessly?
"You fart!"

Zhao Caihua's spittle almost landed on An Min's face as she pointed at the worn brown faux leather bag in An Min's hand.

"No money? If you're broke, why are you carrying such an expensive bag? Do you think I'm blind?!"

"This leather, this shine, it's obviously valuable! You city folks, you get a lot of money just by saying a few words to those foreign devils, what's wrong with slipping a little money through your fingers? I'm your husband's own aunt!"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes fixed on the bag as if it contained fifty yuan that could save her life.

Anmin noticed something was off about her gaze and instinctively pulled her bag further behind her.

This movement is bad.

Like a hungry wolf seeing meat, Zhao Caihua pounced again, this time not grabbing his arm, but directly trying to snatch the bag.

"Let me see, let me see what good stuff is hidden inside! There's definitely money in there! You're just hiding it from me!"

She was yelling and gripping the bag straps tightly with both hands, pulling them forcefully towards her chest.

Anmin never expected her to be so shameless, directly robbing someone in broad daylight.

She wasn't as strong as Zhao Caihua, and was pulled so hard that she stumbled and her back slammed heavily against the door frame, making her gasp in pain.

"Let go!"

An Min has also become famous; this is simply banditry.

"I won't let you go! Give me the money!"

Zhao Caihua strained with all her might, her face turning red and shiny with oil.

The two started tearing at each other in the narrow stairwell doorway.

Anmin's not-so-new bag strap couldn't withstand Zhao Caihua's bull-like strength.
With a sharp tearing sound, the strap snapped.

Anmin was left with only half a broken ribbon.

The money for groceries, food coupons, and some odds and ends inside the bag were pulled out of Zhao Caihua's hands by her enormous inertia.

The contents inside were scattered all over the floor.

A few cents, a few grain coupons, a small stack of manuscript paper, a fountain pen, and a small cloth bag for needles and thread.

Zhao Caihua herself was also pulled back several steps by the sudden loosening of the force, and almost fell down on her buttocks. Fortunately, she was able to grab the railing next to her and avoid rolling down.

She was panting heavily as she looked at the scattered items on the ground. It was far from the large sum of money she had imagined, and a clear look of disappointment crossed her face.

"You...you only have this much stuff in your bag?"

Her voice was shrill, filled with disbelief.

Just then, hurried footsteps and an angry shout came from downstairs: "What are you doing! What's all the noise about so early in the morning!"

Sister Wang was followed by her serious-looking husband, who worked at the neighborhood office. Clearly, Zhao Caihua's commotion had alerted the entire building.

Sister Wang and her husband live downstairs, so they arrive the fastest.

Sister Wang helped An Min, whose face was pale and who was rubbing her back, and frowned as she looked at the scene before her.

"what happened?"

Sister Wang's husband's voice carried a natural air of authority.

He's in charge of mediating local security issues, and he hates people like this who cause trouble and make a scene.

An Min pointed at Zhao Caihua and began to speak clearly and logically.

"Brother Wang, Sister Wang, you've come at the right time. This is my husband Liang Yi's second aunt. She suddenly came to our door yesterday, insisting that we give her fifty yuan, saying it's for her son to get a wife."

We had just settled down and really couldn't afford it, so we explained the situation to her and asked her to go back.

This morning, she blocked the stairwell, first cursing at me, and then, when she saw me going out to buy groceries, she tried to snatch my bag!
"Look, she ripped the bag strap off! If I hadn't dodged quickly, she would have pushed me down."

The neighbors also opened their doors and peeked out, pointing and whispering about Zhao Caihua with disdain in their eyes.

Blocking the door early in the morning to steal his niece-in-law's bag? That's utterly shameless!
It disturbs people's peaceful dreams and is a nuisance.

Sister Wang was furious when she heard this and started cursing at Zhao Caihua.

"Oh my! Who do we have here? Yesterday downstairs, you were all sneaking around asking how much Anmin and her husband make. Turns out you're here to freeload?"

"You even dared to rob me? Do you think this is your village? This is outrageous!"

Sister Wang's husband's face darkened further as he stared at Zhao Caihua: "Old comrade, is what Comrade An Min said true? You snatched her bag?"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Caihua's previous domineering attitude immediately dissipated by more than half.

No matter how much she throws a tantrum, she knows that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and besides, she's just a paper tiger.

They're all bark and no bite; all they've got is a loud voice and a lot of strength.

"I...I didn't steal anything!"

She retorted defiantly, her voice much lower.

"I just... I just wanted to see if she had any money in her bag. She's my niece-in-law, what's wrong with checking? Who told her not to lend me money? She has money to buy nice bags, but no money to help her relatives? This bag must be valuable; she's hiding some money!"

"valuable?"

Sister Wang chuckled, bent down to pick up the faux leather bag with the broken strap from the ground, and dusted it off.

"That's it? Department store clearance items, five yuan each, you call that valuable? I think you're so poor you're practically squeezing every last drop of urine out of a toad."

“Anmin works hard every day, getting up early and working late to do translation work. She earns her money through hard work and has to support her family. Why should I give it to you?”

Ms. Wang's husband said in a stern voice, "Regardless of whether the bag is valuable or not, robbing it is wrong and illegal. We can take you to the police station for your actions."

Upon hearing that she was to be taken to the police station, she panicked, completely panicked.

"No...don't take me to the police station!"

She quickly waved her hand, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"It's a misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding, I was just in a hurry...I'll leave now! I'll leave now!"

She dared not mention money again, and without even bothering to pick up her tattered bundle, she turned around and rushed downstairs in a dejected manner, almost tripping over her worn-out shoes.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Sister Wang shouted from behind her, "Take your tattered bundle away! Don't leave it here in the way!"

Zhao Caihua didn't dare to turn her head, only regretting that the staircase was too short to make her disappear immediately.

She rushed to the corner, grabbed her small bundle haphazardly, and practically tumbled out of the tenement building, disappearing into the alleyway.

"This person needs to be thoroughly scolded."
