Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 60 Deceiving Anlu
After Anmin finished speaking, she picked up her suitcase and turned to leave without waiting for their reaction.

Her steps were light, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

Sunlight shone on her face, and she quietly raised her hand to wipe her forehead, the physiological tears that she had almost shed while acting.

Did Andy On think he could control her once he came to the Northwest?
To put it bluntly, the Northwest is her territory.

They came here only to be slaughtered.

Still trying to act high and mighty in front of her?

Anmin will make them regret making this decision for the rest of their lives.

An Zhijie, Qian Xue, and An Lu stood there, stunned by the sudden enthusiasm and perfect arrangements, looking at each other in disbelief.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be angry or to follow in Anmin's footsteps.

Qian Xue watched An Min's retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

But Anmin's heartfelt concern for them made it difficult for her to find any fault with her.

Hearing An Min's words, An Lu almost burst into tears and grabbed Qian Xue's arm.

"Mom! I'm not going! I don't want to go to the countryside to farm and be a peasant!"

She came here because Andy On said he could get the money from An Min.

With the money, she'd like to go to Hong Kong; she doesn't want to stay here!
On Chi-kit's face was ashen as he watched An Min's retreating figure.

Looking at the noisy, dilapidated platform and the prospects of farming described by his daughter, his chest heaved violently, and he felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Anmin walked ahead, a cold smile curving her lips.

Andy On and his family of three eventually followed An Min back to her small dormitory.

She arranged this herself with Director Yang; it was a small, run-down dormitory where three people had to squeeze together.

Along the way, An Lu's lips were pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle, while Qian Xue's eyes darted around.

Andy On, on the other hand, had a stern face, as if someone owed him money.

When the dormitory door opened, Liang Yi was home.

He had just finished training and was wearing a vest that revealed his strong, muscular arms.

His forehead was still covered in sweat, and he exuded a tough and efficient aura.

He was bending over to tidy up his things, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist made An Lu stare wide-eyed.

"Is this...my brother-in-law?"

Anlu instantly forgot about her rural upbringing; her voice was so sweet it could kill.

She put on what she thought was her sweetest smile, tidied her two braids, and went over.

"Are you home? Are you tired? Let me get you some water."

An Min sneered inwardly. So they've already set their sights on him? Their eyes are practically glued to Liang Yi.

She knew that An Lu was the biggest snob.

Now that An Jia has nothing, she naturally wants a powerful backer.

An Min remained calm and took Liang Yi's arm, saying, "Honey, my dad, Aunt Qian, and my sister Lulu are here."

Hearing An Min call him that, Liang Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

Then Liang Yi straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the family, lingering on An Zhijie for a moment longer, and nodded.

"Hello."

His voice was neither warm nor cold, but carried a sense of detachment.

But he didn't respond to An Lu's clingy gaze at all, and turned directly to An Min: "The place is too small, I'll make do with the team's dormitory for the night."

As she spoke, she picked up her toiletries with swift and decisive movements.

"Hey, brother-in-law, don't go! We can squeeze in!"

An Lu panicked and tried to stop him. Liang Yi didn't even stop walking, only saying, "It's inconvenient."

The words had barely left his mouth when he was already out the door.

An Lu watched Liang Yi's tall figure disappear through the door, stomping her feet in anger. She turned to An Min and complained, "Sister! Look at brother-in-law! Why is he so cold? He was just trying to be nice..."

"Alright, Lulu."

Qian Xue quickly pulled her aside, signaling with her eyes not to be too explicit, but she herself was already feeling quite excited.

Liang Yi looks really energetic, and he's a soldier. If Lulu could... she'd be much better than An Min.

At that point, will we still need to be mindful of An Min's feelings?
However, disrupting a military/marriage is no small matter, so we need to plan carefully.

Qian Xue had made up her mind.

Andy On also saw Liang Yi's spirit and felt a little uneasy.

My son-in-law, whom I took for granted, seems much more promising now.

Anmin knew exactly what was going on in her mind, and seeing the family's ulterior motives, she almost burst out laughing.

She pretended not to see An Lu's infatuation and Qian Xue's scheming, sighed, and began making the bed with a troubled expression.

"The place is small, so you'll have to sleep on the floor. I'm sorry to trouble you for one night. We'll go to the village to look at houses first thing tomorrow morning."

"The sooner we settle down, the more at ease everyone will feel, so Lulu won't keep worrying about whether Liang Yi is home or not."

She deliberately made her last sentence meaningful and pointed.

An Lu blushed, then looked a little annoyed: "Who's thinking about him?"

Qian Xue's eyes darted around, and she quickly chimed in, "Xiao Min is right, the sooner we settle in, the better! But..."

She stepped forward, took Anmin's hand, and pretended to be very open and honest.

"Xiaomin, look how good Liang Yi is, a promising young officer. Talk to him and see if he can find a way to get Lulu into the army too..."

"Or find her a less strenuous job nearby? Sending her to the countryside, exposed to the wind and sun, would be such a hardship! She's never experienced that kind of suffering. Look at her delicate skin..."

Anmin rolled her eyes inwardly. Now he knows how to be affectionate with her?

Delicate skin and tender flesh? You'll be sun-dried into a lump of coal in the countryside!
However, her face showed a conflicted expression of empathy.

"Aunt Qian, it's not that I don't want to help, but the army has discipline. Liang Yi is just an ordinary officer; how can we just assign people to him?"

"Besides, Lulu is at the age where she should be responding to the call! If we forcibly stop her from going, wouldn't that be holding her back and affecting her future?"

She changed the subject, lowering her voice as if sharing some inside secret.

"However... I did hear Liang Yi mention it once. Now, the policies are really preferential for educated youth who perform exceptionally well! Especially those whose immediate family members are in the military can benefit a bit. They get priority consideration for awards and quotas to return to the city!"

"If Lulu is willing to go and performs well, with Liang Yi's connections, things will definitely be easier for her than for others! She might go down there to gain some experience, come back in style, and even get a good job!"

"real?!"

Qian Xue and An Lu's eyes lit up at the same time. An Lu's reluctance just now was instantly washed away by the prospect of a gilded, glamorous return and a good job. She seemed to see herself walking back to the city in high heels.

"of course."

Anmin patted her chest and assured him.

"Would I lie to you? Liang Yi said it himself! So, Lulu, listen to your sister, go first! Your sister and brother-in-law will support you from behind! We'll make sure you don't suffer any losses!"

She added in her mind: I'll make sure you eat dirt until you're broke!
"You're my own sister. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

On Chi-kit thought it made some sense, and he didn't believe that On Min could completely overthrow them all.

He is her biological father.

Having a son-in-law who is in the military is better than being completely clueless.

He cleared his throat: "Hmm, Anmin is right. Lulu, why don't you go and get some exercise? With your sister and brother-in-law looking after you, what are you afraid of?"
