Gu Weiqiang finally decided to go to the bridgehead's retail department to carry large packages for a few days, as a temporary worker. He couldn't just sit around and do nothing. During this time, he had to seize the opportunity to find a job.

  The kids' side is definitely not lacking, but Teacher Ding...

  His current situation cannot be a burden on his family.

  An An talked with Gu Wei Qiang for half a day, only to find that her own father was always distracted. She became increasingly suspicious in her heart, "Dad, what exactly happened?"

  Gu Wei strongly rejected the conditional reflex of "Nothing!", such a sharp response made An An even more worried, definitely something was up, only her dad didn't tell her.

  However, seeing her father's obvious reluctance to speak, Anan didn't force the issue and instead changed the subject to ease the awkwardness. "Look, this is what Dongdong and Jiangjiang had for dinner." There was a plate of braised pork with potatoes, a pot of cured meat congee, some fresh napa cabbage from Huazi's house, stir-fried spicy napa cabbage, three fried eggs, and an egg drop soup.

  This is considered a very sumptuous meal, after all, two little kids rarely cook, in the formal sense of cooking, it's pretty good.

  Gu Weiqiang saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, feeling moved and a little wasteful. He moved his lips, "Dad doesn't like to eat meat, from now on our family will stir-fry more vegetables, Dad likes to eat some vegetables, you can cook meat for yourself." As he couldn't bear to let his children suffer, as their father, he would eat the most and save some.

  After all, for a while, there was no source of income at home, and with his appetite, the food at home would soon be depleted.

  An An felt that her father was getting stranger and stranger, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, only picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put it into Gu Weiqiang's bowl, "Dad, you've been busy all day, eat a bit more."

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang were somewhat disappointed, Dongdong took the lead, staring at Gu Weiqiang with wide eyes, "Dad, don't you like the meal we made?", otherwise why didn't Dad have a happy look on his face, but instead kept frowning.

  Gu Weiqiang immediately put the bowl on the table and explained, "Nonsense, Dad is just touched that our family's Dongdong and Jiangjiang can also cook, and they do it so well. Dad doesn't want to eat too much." After finishing speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and selected the best meat from the plate, giving some to each of the three children, instructing them, "You're all growing, you need to eat more, and later you'll grow tall." After serving Anan and the others, Gu Weiqiang himself then put the spicy cabbage directly in front of him. Seeing that the kids were looking at him suspiciously, he dryly explained, "Dad has been wanting to eat some vegetarian food lately, eating too much meat is bad for the body."

  She quietly ate a mouthful of rice, and although she noticed her father's abnormal behavior, she didn't take the initiative to ask.

  After dinner, while Dongdong and Jiangjiang were busy in the kitchen, only Anan and her father, Gu Weiqiang, were left. Anan stood up from the stool, walked to her father's side, and looked at him with clear and bright eyes. "Dad, what exactly happened? If you don't tell me, I'll get angry and ignore you from now on." She hadn't planned on asking, but her father's behavior was too unusual.

  Gu Weiqiang is the biggest meat lover, everyone in his family knows that doing physical labor without eating meat will not have enough energy to do physical labor, especially Gu Weiqiang who looks like just a driver but often needs to unload goods, which is much heavier than ordinary people's work. Suddenly changing from eating meat to eating vegetables, even when eating rice, the hand holding chopsticks kept trembling, although wearing long-sleeved clothes covered his wrists, but the shaking chopsticks could not hide the most true fact.

  Her father has something hidden from her, maybe from everyone, and it's a big thing.

  Gu Wei Qiang didn't expect that he couldn't even hide it for one night, let alone a month. His own daughter's eyes were really sharp, and when she saw that An An was upset, he decided not to hide it anymore. After all, he could only hide for a while, but not forever. He organized his thoughts in his mind, trying to find the right words to express the complicated emotions inside him. After a long time, he finally spoke up in a low voice, "Dad is useless." Facing An An's clear and trusting eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say that he had lost his job.

  "An An retorted, 'No way, Dad is the most powerful dad in the world!' This kind of trust and admiration from the bottom of her heart made Gu Wei Qiang's eyes suddenly turn red. He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength to open his mouth, 'Dad lost his job.' After saying that, he nervously looked at An An, afraid that there would be even a hint of disappointment in her eyes."

  But Gu Weiqiang was wrong.

  An An was taken aback for a moment, but didn't mind at all. "No job? Just go find one then! Besides, I can support Dad too!", this is the truth, she has money in the supermarket on one hand, more importantly, if their family is short of money, as long as she goes to the mountain, those animals will still be rushing to crash into her body. If they need money urgently, just go dig a few ginseng and sell them, An An said that what their family lacks the least is money.

  Gu Wei Qiang's heart was in his throat as he looked at his daughter's carefree appearance, and he couldn't help but feel incredulous. His voice even trembled slightly as he said, "Daughter! Don't you think it's useless that your dad can't even keep a job?"

  An An shook her head again, repeating in a very firm tone to Gu Weiqiang, "My dad is the most powerful dad under the sky!" Just then, Dongdong and Jiangjiang came out of the kitchen. An An shouted, "Dongdong, Jiangjiang, am I right?"

  Although Dongdong and Jiangjiang didn't know what happened, they chimed in unison, "Right! Dad is the most powerful!" Even if Anan didn't ask, Gu Weiqiang's status was not low in the eyes of these two little kids. Moreover, it seemed to be a natural instinct for all children to worship their fathers. When the two little ones spoke, their eyes sparkled with admiration, filling Gu Weiqiang's heart with warmth.

  "An An, don't be like that," said her father. "You all love me the most, and besides, we've all wanted to tell you this for a long time - don't work on the transportation team anymore. It's tiring every day and you can't even come home. Why not find a job at the textile factory like Uncle Hua? That way, our whole family can be together every day!"

  This is the truth, last midnight, Master Wang called his own father to go and do something, Anan had this intention, but she has always been thinking about Gu Weiqiang's deep feelings for the transportation team, so she didn't dare to mention it. Since the transportation team took the initiative to bring it up, she took the opportunity to put down the burden on her body.

  Find a more easy-going partner who can take care of the family and let her handle the money!

  Gu Weiqiang didn't know what to say, or he was moved by his three children. Thinking of Gu Weiqiang's virtues and abilities, how could he have such excellent and filial children?

  He just clumsily patted Anan's shoulder, then touched Dongdong and Jiangjiang's little heads, as if he couldn't get enough of his own children. He felt relieved, "Yes! It was Dad who was thinking too much, no matter what life is like, as long as we can be together as a family, that's all that matters." When everyone's hearts are in the same place and their strength is combined, even the biggest difficulties are not to be feared.

  An'an saw that her father had opened up and let out a sigh of relief, so she asked in detail, "Dad! What's going on?", apparently intending to get to the bottom of it.

  Gu Weiqiang thought for a moment before explaining the situation in detail. An'an listened and then fell silent, comforting him, "Dad, don't be sad, the one who should be sad is Lu Ping."

  This is the truth, if Lu Ping was really a thoroughly bad person, he would be happy to have reached his current position. However, what's bad is that Lu Ping still has a shred of conscience. He only managed to sit in his current position by being roasted over an open flame, and others didn't need to do or say much. In the end, it was Lu Ping who couldn't take it anymore because he couldn't bear the cold treatment from his former colleagues. He sat alone in that position, having lost everything. Moreover, he is nothing more than a puppet in Zhang Dong's hands, which is the most terrifying part.

  From then on, I was no longer in control of my own body.

  An'an even felt a little relieved, "Dad, you're right to come out from inside, but...", she changed her tone, "Dad, do you have any evidence of Lu Ping's wrongdoings?" She had been bullied by her dad and thought she could just sit back and relax, that was impossible. An'an always believed in the principle of "you respect me one inch I respect you one foot", she would never take the initiative to harm others, but if others bullied them, it would be a different story.

  Gu Wei Qiang thought back carefully, and said with a sigh of relief, "When Lu Ping joined the transportation team at that time, because of his high educational background, the team relaxed its requirements on him in terms of technical skills. But as for the black material, it really didn't exist. This kid was always a sunny and optimistic young man."

  An an muttered to herself, "A lightbulb moment!", she thought for a second, "The last time I went to Yan Ge's house with him, he told me that his dad owed Zhang Kuang over 10,000 yuan." She paused for a moment, "You think since they messed up Zhang Kuang's business and still owe him a large sum of money, why would Zhang Kuang help him become the leader of the transportation team?"

  Gu Wei Qiang was uncertain, "Kick me off the stage?"

  An An shook her head and asked back, "Then why did they also drive away Head and Master Wang together?" It was clear that driving away her father was just an afterthought. An An felt she had almost grasped the truth, but it still eluded her by a hair's breadth, no matter how hard she thought about it.

  Gu Weiqiang also fell into deep thought. Ah! He was just a small porter in the transportation team, but with Wang Shifu and others, this transportation team was like a golden hen that laid eggs, making everyone jealous.

  Gu Wei Qiang suddenly spoke up, "The transport team is a golden hen that lays eggs, and the leader is the owner of this golden hen. Wang Shi Fu is a general under the leader's command, and I..." He either picked it up or did it on purpose.

  An An heard this, and all the confusion was resolved. "Dad, their goal is to control the transportation team, making the transportation team a golden goose in their hands." Just like last time when they privately transported ancient artifacts, they hoped that this transportation team would serve them, which was the most important thing.

  Once the purpose was clear, An felt that everything was easy to solve. "Dad, can you check the transportation team's account book? Lu Ping must have embezzled the transportation team's money." Men will suddenly turn their faces, unintentionally for power and money, as well as women. Lu Ping now has no mind on women, so it is power. When he stood in the position of the transportation team leader, it was power to him. Next, with power, if he embezzled the transportation team's account book to repay his father's debt, it would be easy.

  Even if Lu Ping's affairs were exposed after the east window incident, it was his subjective will to do so, and had nothing to do with Zhang Zhuang. The one who benefited from the whole process was Zhang Zhuang, not only as the behind-the-scenes controller of the transportation team, but also making a lot of money, and even the golden hen's future eggs belonged to him.

  An An thought about this, feeling a chill run down her spine, but even more so, it stirred up her belligerent side. Last time, she had gotten her father thrown into prison, and this time, she had caused her father to lose his job.

  This Zhang Weng is really a poisonous snake in a foul ditch, both poisonous and smelly.

  An'an had a plan in mind, she picked up an enamel pot and suddenly poured a burst of water on him. As she lifted her head, her clear eyes were filled with cold intent. She said softly, "Dad, when beating a snake, you need to hit it seven inches below its head. Do you want to beat this snake to death once and for all?"

  Gu Wei Qiang showed interest, "What?", it's not that Gu Wei Qiang wasn't useful, but he was the one involved, as people say "those who are in a situation are confused", and he is a typical example.

  An'an, "Get the transportation team's ledger and find evidence of Lu Ping and Zhang Du's collusion. Let's go file a complaint!", she pulled out the radish with mud on it, she didn't believe that when they were doing this kind of thing at first, their hands and feet would really be so clean.

  As for reporting to the authorities, who would they report to?

  Of course, it's Secretary Ding. As the parent official of Taosong County, Secretary Ding has been honest and upright all his life. Even though he is retired now, he is still silently guarding Taosong County. This can be seen from the fact that Secretary Ding brought the head of the transportation team to his side.

  Logically, this matter should be handled by Secretary Ding, but now An'an can't afford to care about that much. They need to urgently expand their own power, and as long as they can take down that person, she doesn't mind becoming a knife in Secretary Ding's hand. From another perspective, it can be said that they are returning a favor for the peach, after all, last time Secretary Ding helped her father once, this time is considered them repaying Secretary Ding.

  Gu Wei Qiang looked at his own daughter with some surprise and sighed, "An An, how did your brain grow like that?", the experience he had accumulated over a lifetime was not as fast as his own daughter's brain, if she succeeded, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was a bloodless victory.

  No, they just need to get the evidence and hand it over to Secretary Ding. The rest of the matter, even if they do nothing, there will still be justice, there will still be law, and it will not let off any bad person, nor will it wrong any good person.

  An'an smiled and pushed the praise away, "That's Dad's good genes, Dad is smart, can his daughter be stupid?", after finishing, she turned her head to look at Dongdong and Jiangjiang, "Dongdong, Jiangjiang, when dealing with bad people, you should be as ruthless as autumn wind blowing away leaves. If the power is uneven, remember to use the enemy's strength, and know that the enemy of our enemy is our friend." For Zhang Dang, Secretary Ding was his nemesis.

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang, two little kids, with sparkling eyes, each time they were taught by Anan, left an indelible impression on the two children in their growth process.

  Gu Weiqian saw his own daughter teaching her son, and he couldn't help but admit that this was a case of "the young surpassing the old", and for parents, their children's intelligence is their greatest pride.

  "Dad, if you have the chance, bring me the transportation team's ledger." This year, ledgers are considered relatively confidential data, and it's not easy for Gu Wei to get his hands on one. But if he can get the ledger, their chances of winning will be higher.

  An An had taken auditing courses while in school, and her roommate had worked hard to take the certification exam that year. She had nothing better to do at the time, so she studied with her roommate and barely passed a few subjects. However, before she could get her hands on the certificate, she crossed over.

  But all the hardships she had endured at that time have now been transformed into knowledge points, all stored in her brain.

  Gu Wei Qiang was surprised, "An An, you can do accounting too?"

  An nodded and didn't say much on this topic, but instead shifted the conversation to Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang is very sensitive to numbers, I'll let him help me later." For people who are sensitive to numbers or arithmetic, checking accounts is their talent.

  Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up as soon as she heard that she could help, and she nodded her head, "Sister! I'll go with you!"

  Since his own children all patted their chests to guarantee it, Gu Wei Qiang didn't ask any more questions. He was just thinking that later he would go find the accountant to have a drink and then borrow the account book first.

  Just then, An remembered that her neighbor had come to talk about something important during the day. She told her father truthfully, "Dad, Aiqin Auntie and Qian Auntie came to my house today."

  Gu Wei Qiang was surprised, "What are they doing coming to our house?"

  An'an covered her mouth and laughed, "You're going to find me a stepmother!", she continued, "One is my cousin, the other is my niece, they say they are both young women in their twenties! It's up to you whether you want them or not!" To be honest, when such things were said by his own daughter, Gu Wei Qiang felt a bit embarrassed. He raised his hand and slapped her with a handful of chestnuts, "Are you teasing your old man? I have Teacher Ding's...", as he spoke, Gu Wei Qiang's face changed, nowadays he had lost his job and didn't know if Teacher Ding still looked up to him or not.

  Anan naturally noticed her father's expression and asked, "What's wrong?" Gu Wei strongly smiled wryly, "Now I've lost my job, and I don't know about Teacher Ding..." Before he could finish speaking, Anan had already understood that her father was afraid that after losing his job, Teacher Ding would look down on him.

  Ms. Ding will do what she has to do, but this is not something that can be said with certainty, so An'an comforts her father by saying "Dad, you should talk things over clearly with Ms. Ding." If it works out, then of course that would be the best; if it doesn't work out, then one cannot blame Ms. Ding - after all, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is a basic human instinct, and An'an herself is no exception.

  Gu Wei Qiang nodded slightly.

  Some things need to be clarified, but it's just that we can't delay Teacher Ding any further, this is true.

  An An had originally thought of a way for Teacher Ding to escape, but now that things have turned out this way, there's no need for her to say it out loud. After all, the method would only be useful if Teacher Ding and her own father were formally together, so before they get together, saying anything more is pointless.

  As for mealtime, Father's hand holding chopsticks kept shaking. An'an didn't ask, but saw that his father's wrist hidden in his sleeve had quite a few bruises!

  "Dad, we still have over 300 yuan at home! Our living expenses are more than enough, you don't need to rush to find a job. And if it's not enough, you can take me to our hometown village and there will be a way to solve the problem."

  She was telling her old father in a roundabout way that there's no need to worry about money, this is the truth. There's some money at An'an supermarket, and when she goes to Gujia Village on Saturday, she'll catch some prey and bring it back. Then, with Xiaohui's help, they can dig up two ginseng plants, and basically, their living expenses for half a year will be taken care of again.

  If nothing else, she would go to the black market and sell some of the goods from the supermarket. As far as An'an was concerned, with their current situation, money was the least of their worries, because she had many ways to make money.

  Gu Weiqiang awkwardly hid his hands behind his back, the matter of carrying a large package to the bridge head, was probably not wanting the children to know, but looking at his own daughter's words, he had guessed about 80% of it.

  He nodded in agreement, "Alright! Let's talk about that after we've settled that matter." Which matter, of course, was avenging himself first.

  The next day, the troops were divided into two routes. An'an and her siblings went to school, they had already taken a day off and couldn't take another one. Gu Weiqiang went to find his old colleagues from the past, according to yesterday's plan, first get the account book out and then talk.

  An An was warmly welcomed by Xu Chengcheng and Hu Xiaohua when she went to the classroom, and gave An An a hug in front of everyone.

  Before class, Xu Chengcheng whispered to Anan, lowering her voice, "Anan, is your dad okay?", At that time, when Anan left school in a hurry, everyone saw it, especially when Jiangjiang and Dongdong came to find Anan, they were intentionally provoked by someone with ulterior motives to scare the two kids!

  Xu Chengcheng had a bad temper, in her eyes, Dongdong and Jiangjiang were already half-brothers. She immediately started fighting with others on the spot, and later even got her parents called by the teacher. Not only that, but Xu Chengcheng was also punished with a week of detention for fighting at school.

  These two days, Hu Xiaohua accompanied her all the way, and the revolutionary friendship between the two people soared.

  An An took out all the textbooks from her backpack and put the homework that had fallen down on the top right corner of her desk. Later, the group leader would come to collect the homework. After everything was in order, she slowly replied, "My dad has been released." When she said this, she hesitated, actually wanting to ask Xu Cheng Cheng about Xu Wei Bing and Zhang Dong's situation, but didn't know how to bring it up.

  Xu Chengcheng had always been a straightforward person. Seeing Anan like this, he suddenly became anxious and said, "What else is there? You'd better say it all at once!"

  An looked around at her classmates, finding everyone engrossed in their morning reading, their minds focused on their textbooks. She lowered her voice and asked, "Cheng Cheng, tell me the truth, what do you know about Zhang Duo?"

  When An heard Zhang Dong being mentioned, Xu Chengcheng's face didn't look good, her mouth curled up high, "Don't mention that scum, that old man who won't die actually wanted my dad to marry me off to him." She and Zhang Dong were more than ten years apart!

  An an unexpectedly, didn't think there was this turn of events, "What attitude does your dad have?"

  Xu Cheng let out a sigh, "In the past when my dad wanted to take in Zhang Du, my mom didn't agree. Now that Zhang Du's power is growing bigger and bigger, my dad even has to avoid his sharp edges." She lowered her voice as she spoke, "Zhang Du is narrow-minded and will definitely seek revenge, An An, don't provoke this person, or he'll be like a mad dog, biting people everywhere." Xu Cheng had known Zhang Du for some years now. In the past, she would even call out to him as "Zhang Ge". But ever since she overheard her dad's conversation with Zhang Du, Xu Cheng thoroughly disliked him.

  An An smiled wryly, "It's not us who provoked him, but he has already set his sights on us."

  Xu Chengcheng's eyes widened, "What exactly happened, don't hide it from me!"

  An An sighed, "Wasn't my dad taken away last time? Later we found my dad's colleague and only then did we know that it was Zhang Wu who instructed from behind." When she said this, An An paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed. "Cheng Cheng, according to what I understand, this matter is still your dad's order."

  Xu Chengcheng's mouth was quick to speak, and she complained, "I knew my family would be bullied by the old man, it's not a good thing!", listening to her tone of voice, it really doesn't sound like something a dear daughter could say, it can be seen that Xu Chengcheng has no regard for her own father.

  Xu Chengcheng said seriously, "An An, let's just discuss what's right and wrong, not who is closer or further away. No matter what happens, you are my good friend." This was a heartfelt statement, even if something happened in the future, she would only look at what was right and wrong, rather than turning against An An just because he was her father.

  An An was somewhat moved, and it was truly unexpected that Xu Cheng Cheng could say such words. "Thank you, Cheng Cheng!"

  Xu Chengcheng waved his hand and said, "What happened next?"

  An continued, "My dad wasn't let go, he only found out when he went to the transportation team that all three of them, including him, were fired. The mastermind behind this was still Zhang Dong." As for whether it had anything to do with Xu Weibing, she didn't know.

  At least from what is currently known, Xu Weibing has no movement at all, and he may be completely unaware.

  Xu Chengcheng seemed to be thinking of something and said, "You wait, tonight I'll go back to my old man's place and try to get some information out of him."

  "Alright, I'll make it clear," An said, "Cheng Cheng, if he's the mastermind behind this, I... will still help my dad take revenge." Who is he? Of course, he's referring to Xu Weibing. This statement served as a warning to Xu Chengcheng. If Xu Weibing was indeed involved, she wouldn't let him off easily. However, from an outsider's perspective, An seemed to be bragging a bit too much, after all, he's just a student, while Xu Weibing is the county head - their social status is worlds apart.

  Xu Chengcheng knew what Anan meant, and she also knew how clever Anan was. There was nothing that Anan wanted to do but couldn't do - this was Xu Chengcheng's evaluation of Anan.

  She nodded slightly, without any difficulty, "I won't help either of you." No matter whose problem it was, she wouldn't intervene. Even if her own father was being unreasonable, he was still the one who had raised her, and she couldn't bring herself to join forces with Anan against him.

  She and Xu Chengcheng reached an agreement, An An let out a sigh of relief. "Can you tell me about Zhang Ju's preferences?" If it was said that they were familiar with each other, then Xu Chengcheng was much more familiar than she was. After all, knowing oneself and others would make things easier to handle later on.

  Xu Chengcheng, who had always been carefree and easy-going, found it difficult to speak up, with a look of entanglement on her face. After a long while, she seemed to have made an important decision and finally opened her mouth: "Zhang Wu likes young girls, the more violent-tempered they are, the more he likes them." Otherwise, Xu Chengcheng, this hot-tempered girl, wouldn't have caught Zhang Wu's eye. It can be said that Zhang Wu's hobby is quite abnormal.

  "This hobby... is really", some words are hard to say, after complaining, worried, "Cheng Cheng, are you okay?!", the implication is whether she was taken advantage of. Xu Chengcheng didn't understand what she meant, she shook her head, "I'm not a fool myself, let alone with my mom protecting me, nothing's wrong."

  An An nodded and silently added another stroke for Zhang Wuji. Hu Xiaohua spoke up, "The person you're talking about almost took a liking to my third sister."

  An'an didn't know there was this turn of events, she asked curiously, "What happened afterwards?", this person really cast a wide net.

  Hu Xiaohua took a glance at the empty seat of her third sister and sighed, "My dad hastily arranged a marriage for my third sister with someone from the provincial city." This was also an unavoidable measure.

  Although Hu Yuan Chao was the director of a textile mill, he still had to be somewhat cautious when dealing with someone like Zhang Wu who was as venomous as a snake hiding in the dark.

  Although Hu Xiaoshu had always been at odds with himself, upon hearing this, An An couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the poor kid. He was actually being targeted by Zhang Zhuang. Thinking of this, An An asked in surprise, "Cheng Cheng, doesn't your dad control Zhang Zhuang?"

  Xu Cheng let out a sigh, "Zhang Kuang and my dad are not even in a superior-subordinate relationship, and now Zhang Kuang is becoming more and more disobedient to my dad's words, how can he be managed?", people like Zhang Kuang who are on the run, catch one and count as one, whoever they take a liking to will be unlucky.

  Otherwise, Xu Cheng would have already clashed with Zhang Dong by now, but it's just that there are too many concerns behind his back.

  An nodded thoughtfully.

  This morning's class was Mr. Zhen's English lesson, and everyone was a bit lacking in enthusiasm. As usual, Mr. Zhen loved to take roll call and have Anan lead the reading. Fortunately, Anan had a good foundation, so he could pick up the book and read it right away. Otherwise, with his frequent daydreaming, he would probably be scolded to death by Mr. Zhen.

  One morning class, An was a bit distracted, and her little brain was spinning rapidly.

  It just so happened that when she was walking home, she ran into her father at the intersection, and they exchanged a glance. Gu Wei Qiang nodded slightly, and it was clear that he had taken the account book.

  An'an's heart was delighted, and he quickened his pace as he walked back. Unexpectedly, just as they entered the courtyard, they found Zhang Aiqin and Qian Shu together in the courtyard, chattering loudly. As soon as they saw An'an and the others arrive, their voices suddenly stopped.

  An'an and his father exchanged a glance, not intending to bother with this group of middle-aged women. However, Qian Aunt was not going to let Gu Weiqiang off the hook. She opened her mouth and complained, "Master Gu, you've been fired by the transportation team, why didn't you tell everyone about it?"

  Gu Wei Qiang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled by the middle-aged woman's brain, and he retorted, "Why tell you guys? This isn't something good." This was indeed the truth, must he wipe away tears in front of everyone when his career is frustrated, and then win their sympathy.

  Aunt Qian was so angry that she almost choked to death, and after a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have introduced you to my cousin from my mother's side." Originally, it was a good marriage arrangement, but who would have thought that when the people from her mother's side found out, they were shocked to discover that this knowledgeable and insightful person had actually introduced her cousin to an unemployed man? In everyone's eyes, Gu Weiqiang was indeed unemployed, and those good days were gone.

  There is regret, of course, and also a blessing in disguise.

  An An's smile slowly faded away, and she felt like scolding her mother. In a cold tone, she said, "Who told you to introduce us? Go find someone else, besides, if your niece was really good, would she marry a divorced man?"

  They didn't ask for money, but instead introduced a young girl to their father, someone they had never met before. Why would she marry a divorced man? Others might not understand, but shouldn't Qian Shu be clear about it? Being scolded by An An, Qian Shu immediately became like a quail, afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, lest she ruin her own younger sister's reputation.

  The people around saw this and were no longer unclear, it was obvious that Qian Auntie's mouth was not telling the truth about her cousin being good in all aspects. For a moment, looking at Qian Auntie's eyes became somewhat subtle. It seems that from now on, if Qian Auntie brings up again to introduce her own cousin as a potential partner, they will all have to be more careful, otherwise they might accidentally fall into someone else's trap.

  Zhang Aiqin saw this and knew that everyone's attitude had changed. The owner of the barber shop, with a quick tongue, didn't speak as directly as Qian Auntie, but instead beat around the bush: "An An! I'm not mistaken, I told you before that my cousin wanted to marry into your family. This time when I went back and asked, it turned out that my cousin had already married into her husband's family. It's really embarrassing!"

  It was clear that Gu Weiqiang had lost his job, and it seemed that he didn't approve of this marriage, but in Zhang Aiqin's words, it became a small misunderstanding, and she had somewhat overstepped her bounds.

  An's lips curled up with a faint, distant smile, but her voice was somewhat cold. "Auntie Zhang, you've been helping my dad worry about me a lot lately, just be more careful in the future when it comes to this matter of marrying off girls." These words coming from An's mouth were indeed somewhat inappropriate, but don't forget that back then, Zhang Ai Qun had chosen An, not Gu Wei Qiang. The difference was huge. This subtle yet piercing remark made Zhang Ai Qun hit a soft nail.

  It also made the people around feel that this big daughter of Gu's family was not a good person to bully, otherwise, she would have been affected by these repeated provocations, but instead, the one who provoked her got a nose full of dust.
