Chapter 99 Aunt gives mother a photo
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Old Li was naturally willing to help Qian Xue get this done.

However, he'll make sure to extort a good sum from her before she leaves, since he won't be able to sleep with such a good woman anymore once she's gone.

Hearing Lao Li's words, Qian Xue's nausea slowly disappeared.

As long as she could return to Haicheng, nothing else mattered; she was willing to do anything for that spot to go back.

When Qian Xue returned to that dilapidated dormitory, An Zhijie was already fast asleep.

Seeing Andy On's expression, Qian Xue's face was full of disgust.

She wiped the disgusting smell off her body with a wet towel before lying down.

Even now, Qian Xue still doesn't know why everything that was originally planned has changed.

They were just a hair's breadth away from receiving the inheritance left by Anmin's mother.

Where exactly did things go wrong that made Anmin realize their intentions and even run off to such a remote place as the Northwest ahead of time?

What Qian Xue couldn't understand even more was how they managed to empty the house of all their belongings.

So much furniture could vanish overnight.

Could it be that Anmin has colluded with someone?

As soon as she thought about this, a thought flashed through Qian Xue's mind.

Did Anmin already have a lover before marrying Liang Yi?

Anmin's lover helped her move all her belongings out of her house.

The two parted ways for some reason, which led Anmin to come to the Northwest.

Thinking about these things, Qian Xue couldn't sleep all night.

Once she returns to Haicheng, she will investigate this matter. She will definitely not let that bitch Anmin get away with it.

She will make Anmin taste the same bitterness she has suffered today.

……

Baiyanggou.

After Aunt Anqing stayed behind, Anmin and Liang Yi's lives were slightly disrupted.

The two of them had never lived with their relatives before, so they naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

Sometimes when the two of them are being intimate, they feel embarrassed when they think about An Qing living next door.

Even though An Qing is at home, they can't just enter the space whenever they want.

However, An Qing was decisive and efficient, and her presence helped Liang Yi a lot.

After moving into the house, she also took on the responsibility of taking care of Anmin.

Having given birth herself, she was naturally more experienced than Liang Yi.

At first, Anmin's attitude towards Anqing was not enthusiastic; it was always lukewarm.

Having never truly known or spent time together, Anmin, with her aloof nature, naturally wouldn't show it too much.

But as time went on, she discovered that her aunt was truly different.

Anmin received a reply to the letter she sent to An Zhijie. Before Anmin could open it, her aunt happened to see the letter, picked it up, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the stove.

"You reap what you sow. If you dare to be soft-hearted, I'll be the first to not forgive you."

However, after thinking about it, An Qing realized that An Min wasn't the kind of person who was soft-hearted.

If she were soft-hearted, Andy On wouldn't be living like this.

That evening, Anmin was picking vegetables in the yard when her aunt moved a small stool and sat down next to her, shelling peanuts in her hand: "Your mother was a good girl back then, it's a pity she had poor eyesight."

She suddenly spoke, and thinking of Anmin's mother, Anqing also felt a little sad.

Anmin's mother is beautiful and intelligent, but she has never experienced the harsh realities of society.

An Qing knew her brother well; he was all about sweet talk and deceiving people.

After a while, he was completely fooled. "My brother completely deceived your mother. I only found out about this later. When your mother died, he didn't write home. I didn't even find out about it for many years."

If she had known that Anmin's mother had passed away, she would have come even if she had any conflicts with An Zhijie.

The deceased deserves respect, not to mention that her sister-in-law is known for her kind heart.

Andy On was afraid that if too many people came, they would compete with him for something.

An Qing heard that the funerals were all very small in scale.

Anmin tightened her grip on the vegetables, but her aunt continued, "But you're better than your mother. You have a good eye for men. Liang Yi may seem quiet, but he's honest and kind."

"Most importantly, they know how to care for people, and that's good enough. If you can live a good life, that's better than anything else."

Just then, Liang Yi returned from the camp.

The matter in Country M is not over yet, and Liang Yi has been negotiating with them frequently lately.

This is the first time I've come back this early.

He saw the aunt and niece sitting in the yard and called out from afar, "Aunt, Minmin, the canteen has steamed buns and pickled vegetables for dinner."

Liang Yi specially got his food from the cafeteria, so they didn't need to cook for him.

My aunt raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You guys live a more comfortable life than I do in the city."

An Min smiled but remained silent, saying nothing more.

At night, An Min tossed and turned in bed. Liang Yi noticed that she wasn't asleep and reached out to put his arm around her: "Still thinking about what happened during the day?"

Anmin snuggled closer to him: "I just feel... it's all so unreal."

Liang Yi stroked her hair: "Whether it's true or not, the fact is that she's helping us now. Besides, I'm here."

"I'm overjoyed to have another person who cares for you."

He is who he is, but he can't compare to a true blood relative.

An Qing's appearance made up for this point quite well.

That evening, when Anmin returned home, she saw Anqing squatting in front of the chicken coop counting eggs, muttering, "These speckled chickens lay such big eggs. I'll cook you some brown sugar eggs tomorrow to help you recover."

An Min stood at the door watching as Liang Yi walked up from behind her and whispered, "I think Auntie really cares about you."

Anmin didn't say anything, but stepped forward to help pick up the eggs.

Perhaps, there really are different kinds of An family members in this world.

An Qing will be leaving after staying here for four or five days.

She still has work to do and can't stay here for long.

At night, her aunt pulled out a yellowed photograph and handed it to Anmin.

She pointed to one of the photos of a girl in a school uniform: "This is your mother. She was the school beauty back in the girls' high school."

Anmin leaned closer and saw her mother's appearance when she was young for the first time, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

Her aunt gently patted her back: "Your mother always said that she wanted to find someone who could love her for a lifetime. Now that you see Liang Yi, she can rest assured."

“I’ve kept this photo for many years, and now I’m giving it to you, Minmin. Your happiness is more important than anything else.”

"Of course, this is what your mother would most like to see."

The moonlight streaming in through the window illuminated another family photo in An Qing's hand.

The photo shows an elderly woman holding a baby, with her young aunt and Andy On standing beside her.

Anmin stared at the photo for a long time, then suddenly asked softly, "What kind of person was Grandpa?"

After a moment of silence, the aunt smiled and said, "He's a shrewd old man, more cunning than anyone else. He knew long ago that his son was unreliable."

"Fortunately, he made preparations in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to control the situation today."

When An Qing talked about her father, her face lit up with a big smile.

The shrewd old man had an even shrewder son.
