Chapter 181 Wei Yaozong comes to ask for money.
Liang Yi explained with a smile, "Si'an is in the United States, and Shouye was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology. Both kids are doing well, so they didn't come back with us this time."

Qin Shulan's eyes lit up as she listened, and she nodded repeatedly, "Great! Great! They're all promising children! You've raised them well!"

She gently patted Anmin's hand.

"We've survived such tough times back then, now it's time to enjoy life."

As the three were talking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door, and a drunken man's voice came from afar: "Qin Shulan! I know you have guests! Get out here right now!"

Qin Shulan's expression changed instantly, and An Min could clearly feel her hand trembling slightly.

"It's Wei Yaozong..."

Qin Shulan said in a low voice, "I heard you were coming, so I've been wandering around the neighborhood every day for the past few days. Sure enough, you've come looking for me."

Liang Yi stood up to open the door, but An Min gently pressed him down, saying, "I'll go."

Anmin is no longer the little girl who needed to hide behind him.

She straightened her clothes and calmly opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Wei Yaozong, who looked much older than I remembered. He reeked of alcohol, his clothes were wrinkled, and his eyes were cloudy.

He was stunned when he saw An Min, clearly not expecting it to be her.

"Hey, isn't this An Min? I heard you've become a big boss?"

Wei Yaozong curled his lip and looked her up and down: "You're dressed so well, looks like you've really struck it rich."

An Min remained expressionless: "Uncle Wei, it's been a long time."

Fueled by alcohol, Wei Yaozong tried to push An Min aside and squeeze through the door.

"Shulan, Shulan, come out here! I heard your niece is rich now. You can't just watch me starve to death, can you?"

An Min subtly sidestepped, causing Wei Yaozong to miss his target and nearly fall, which only fueled his anger and embarrassment.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

He pointed at An Min's nose and cursed, "Don't forget that if I hadn't taken you in back then, you would have starved to death in the Northwest long ago!"

At this moment, Liang Yi was already standing next to An Min, his expression calm.

To Wei Yaozong's surprise, Qin Shulan also stepped forward and straightened her back.

"Wei Yaozong, how dare you bring up those days?"

Since Qin Shulan divorced Wei Yaozong, she has looked radiant.

Now they even dare to point their fingers at Wei Yaozong and curse him.

"You know perfectly well how you treated us back then. We agreed to go our separate ways when we divorced, so why are you causing trouble now?"

Wei Yaozong was stunned by his ex-wife's attitude and was speechless for a moment.

An Min took a step forward and looked down at Wei Yaozong: "Uncle Wei, I heard that you remarried and then divorced, and now you're unemployed and living in that apartment your work unit allocated to you in the old city?"

Wei Yaozong retorted, "So what if it is? You're doing well now, can't you help me? We used to be family!"

Anmin smiled softly, but there was no warmth in her smile.

"Have you ever helped me? When I came to the Northwest, didn't you drive me away?"

She paused, then spoke clearly and forcefully: "You said, with a poor and shabby appearance, you'll never amount to anything in your life."

Wei Yaozong's face turned pale and then red, muttering, "That...that's all ancient history from so many years ago..."

"Yes, that's ancient history."

An Min nodded: "So you've come to us now because you think we should repay evil with kindness?" Before Wei Yaozong could answer, she continued: "After Auntie's divorce, you didn't give a single penny of child support, and you often came to cause trouble and demand money. I heard that you mortgaged your old house to gamble it away the year before last, and now you're renting a place?"

Wei Yaozong blushed with embarrassment and anger: "You...you investigated me?"

"There's no need for a special investigation. Our hometown is only so big; what can't spread?"

"For the sake of your past relationship with your aunt, we'll let this go this time. But please remember, from now on, don't harass your aunt again. Otherwise..."

She didn't finish speaking, but the sharpness in her eyes made Wei Yaozong unconsciously take a step back.

"Fine, Qin Shulan, you're tough, you're awesome!"

Wei Yaozong looked at An Min and Liang Yi, and dared not continue to harass them.

As An Min watched Wei Yaozong's retreating figure, other thoughts began to form in her mind.

Seeing Wei Yaozong's behavior, she figured he wouldn't give up easily. She had to think of a way to stop him from harassing her aunt.

An Min's lips curled into a cold smile as she watched Wei Yaozong's grumbling yet reckless figure disappear into the alleyway. Her thoughts raced even faster.

She gently put her arm around Qin Shulan's shoulder: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm here. This kind of scoundrel, do you think he'll cause any trouble in our new society? Watch how I deal with him."

Qin Shulan said worriedly, "Xiaomin, you don't know, he's become a complete scoundrel, shameless and unruly. The neighbors all avoid him. He's been to the police station several times already, but it won't be long before he comes out causing trouble again..."

Everyone says that even though they're divorced, it's a family matter and nobody can interfere.

This was a real hardship for Qin Shulan.

Anmin patted her hand and comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry. The wicked have to be dealt with by the wicked. If he's being unreasonable, we'll reason with him and talk to him about the things he fears most."

Sure enough, two days later, just as it was getting dark, Wei Yaozong came again.

This time, he seemed to be going all out. He started shouting at the top of his lungs before he even reached the door, deliberately making sure all the neighbors could hear him.

"Qin Shulan! An Min! Get out here! Now that you have money, you've turned your backs on your family? Capitalist behavior! Exploitative class mentality! I'm going to the neighborhood committee and your workplace to report you! I'll let the leaders see your ugly faces!"

The door opened, but An Min didn't come out; instead, Liang Yi did.

He was dressed in military uniform, his top button fastened tightly, his brows were stern, and his gaze was sharp.

He simply stood there at the entrance, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and an aura of military discipline silently and subdued the crowd.

Wei Yaozong's arrogance immediately diminished, and he subconsciously took a step back.

He was a little intimidated by Liang Yi.

At this moment, An Min calmly walked out, holding a kraft paper file folder in her hand.

She didn't even look at Wei Yaozong, but smiled at the elderly neighbors who peeked out after hearing the noise: "Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone."

"There was a small misunderstanding, but it'll be fine once we talk it out."

This effectively blocked Wei Yaozong's attempt to muddy the waters and smear others.

Seeing that she wasn't responding and with Liang Yi watching him intently from the side, Wei Yaozong had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue shouting.

"Enough with the nonsense! Anmin, you have to give me an explanation today! Back then..."

"Comrade Wei Yaozong,"

An Min suddenly spoke up, her voice clear and crisp, interrupting his nonsense and even using the term "comrade."

"You don't need to shout. If you want an explanation, I'll give you one."

"Don't rush, listen slowly, I'll explain everything to you."

Looking at An Min's expression, Wei Yaozong felt for some reason that he was unlikely to get away with this today.
