Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Fight Injustice

But why did the company suddenly start up later, and where did the money come from? Everyone was very curious.

Among those present, some knew about An Hao and the Qin Family’s business.

After the funds were in place for An Hao’s company, Li Junping started to make a fuss all over the place, saying that the money to start An Hao’s company came from selling their Qin Family’s heirloom jade bracelet.

At that time, people just listened to the discussions and that was it.

Now that the company had started up, people’s curiosity had also arisen.

”An Hao, is what your mother-in-law said true or false?” someone among those present asked.

”Whether it’s true or false doesn’t matter. What’s most important right now is that the company has already started, and the dividends have also been distributed to everyone. Isn’t this a happy occasion for everyone?” An Hao didn’t intend to directly answer the question.

”We just feel angry for you. What kind of person is your mother-in-law? When she sees your family doing well, she feels uncomfortable. You don’t know how, during the time your family was having bad luck, your mother-in-law was grinning from ear to ear. Saying things like ’it serves them right’ and all that...”

”Yeah, our point is, if what she said isn’t true, we should talk about her and not let her spread rumors around the village.”

”That’s right, An Hao is like our niece, we can’t just let her slander An Hao’s reputation.”

After hearing this, An Hao, feeling very awkward, glanced at Qin Jian and then said to the villagers, ”Thank you for your kindness. But be a bit careful when you speak, after all, she is my husband’s foster mother.”

Qin Jian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, at this moment he couldn’t decide whether to speak or not.

Realizing that their words might have hurt Qin Jian’s feelings, everyone quickly stood up to clarify the matter: ”Ah, sorry. Qin Jian, we didn’t mean to target you. We know you’ve also done a lot for us.”

”Yes, if it weren’t for you leading the soldiers to fight the forest fire a few years ago, our village might have been completely burned down.”

”Qin Jian is a good man.”

”He’s the son of the military district commander, and having been raised in the Qin family for so many years without being spoiled is really commendable.”

Unable to hold back anymore, Qin Jian stood up and said, ”I know that the villagers have grievances against my foster mother. She has indeed done some things wrong, but my foster father is really a great person. Although they are my foster parents, they are still like my own parents to me. I hope that when you speak of them, do not curse them in front of me!”

”Yes, yes, just look at this son... The Qin family really lucked out.”

Now that the conversation had come to this point, An Hao decided not to hide anymore.

”Aunt Li wasn’t wrong. I did indeed exchange the bracelet for money to start the company. She’s not wrong about me, but I’ve already returned the remaining money from the bracelet to the Qin Family. That’s the situation. Let’s not bring it up again. Today is my father’s birthday, let’s just enjoy the meal and have a good drink.”

”Right, absolutely.”

After the An Family’s banquet ended, everyone dispersed.

On the way back, a few people happened to run into Zhang Juyun who was coming out of her house.

”Yo, were you all at the An Family’s celebration?” Zhang Juyun’s words were dripping with sarcasm as soon as she spoke, ”Clinging to the An Family’s coattails sure has its perks. There’s food and drink, and money to spend too!”
