This unexpected gift made An Hao quite satisfied.
His wife was satisfied and happy, and Qin Jian had a rather pleasant evening.
Preparing to attend training at the Command Academy, a year is a long ti. When he thought about the long ti they would be apart, the two cherished these monts of intimacy even more.
Every mont of joy is a mont less to be had.
The orders from above ca in, and Qin Jian didn’t dare to delay. He packed his belongings and boarded the train to report to the Command Academy the next day.
On the weekend, An Hao happened to have a day off. She asked for an extra day off and decided to go ho to see her father, An Shuchao, and check if there was anything going on at ho.
Her child had been weaned, and she felt at ease leaving him in the care of her in-laws.
So, she left early in the morning for the bus station. She and An Ping had agreed to take the earliest bus back.
Two hours later, An Hao and An Ping returned to the village, carrying large and small bags.
As they passed the small stone bridge in the village, they saw the gossiping won and idle n chatting away.
"What kind of fate does An Shuchao have? Just when he started to enjoy so happiness, he runs into this kind of trouble."
"Yeah. I think, no matter how much money the An Family makes, it won’t be enough to handle this kind of thing!"
"Unlucky! The An Family is truly unlucky! In my opinion, the An Family’s recent prosperity is all because of that girl from the An Family holding it together! That girl from the An Family is not soone to be underestimated. Who knows what she’ll do when she finds out about this."
"That’s right... To be honest, I do feel a bit sympathetic towards An Shuchao."
"You’re just looking for trouble! If they’re willing, who are you to ddle?"
The group was chatting animatedly, and the loud voices carried all the way to An Hao’s ears, without missing a single word.
No wonder her father hadn’t co by for a while, not even for the twins’ first birthday.
Looks like there’s really sothing going on at ho!
An Hao sighed and quickened her pace, walking briskly towards the group.
"Uncles, aunties! I heard you talking, is sothing happening in our family?"
The group only noticed An Hao had returned when they heard her speaking.
Speak of the devil!
"Your family is having so issues. Go back and see for yourself!" Everyone knew An Hao was not to be trifled with, so they were careful with their words.
"Is my dad sick? Or what’s going on?" An Ping was even more curious when he saw them being evasive.
"Don’t ask, just go back and take a look." An Hao pulled An Ping along and hurried back.
Good or bad, they’d know when they saw for themselves.
The siblings rushed ho, their steps quickening with each passing mont.
In no ti, the gate of their ho was in sight.
"Dad! Dad! My sister and I are back," An Ping shouted as soon as he entered the yard, but when he saw the scene inside, he gasped in shock and took a few steps back.
The originally small yard was surrounded by a group of people holding sticks, leaving no way in or out.
Standing among them was An Shuchao.
"What... what’s going on?" An Ping halted, hesitantly asking.
"Who are you people? What are you doing at my ho?" An Hao saw the scene and knew sothing was up.
"It’s nothing, nothing! These are people I hired to do so work! The work is done, and I’ve paid them. An Shuchao, seeing his children had returned, quickly took a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to the person he called the ’foreman.’ ’Three thousand, count it.’
