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

Chapter 57 The Last Act of Kindness
A hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Dongkang's eyes, but seeing Wei Yaozong's explosive expression, he knew that this was his bottom line.

He immediately put on a fawning smile, determined to make as much money as possible.

"Oh! Director Wei, you're so straightforward! I knew you were a wise man! It's all for the children! Well... we can talk about the job later, later! Shall we... go to the neighborhood office now?"

He was eager to finalize the deal, fearing that Wei Yaozong might back out.

In fact, Wang Dongkang never intended to marry Wei Hong. Wei Hong didn't have a good job, and her family certainly wouldn't have agreed to it.

It's just for fun; if I can get my hands on it, then I've made a profit.

That night, he drank some alcohol, and under his sweet talk and coaxing, Wei Hong actually gave herself to him.

Later, Wang Dongkang thought Wei Hong was probably pregnant, so he planned to go find her.

But Wei Hong kept it a secret very well; it was obvious that she didn't want to marry him either.

Wei Hong doesn't see him, and he can't see Wei Hong either, so he has no idea what Wei Hong is like now.

But Wang Dongkang wasn't in a hurry. He knew that once Wei Hong really got pregnant with his child...

The Wei family will be the first to lose their temper.

So Wang Dongkang had been waiting, waiting for the Wei family to come looking for him, and here they are now.
Looking at the smug look on Wang Dongkang's face.

Wei Yaozong was like a trapped beast that had been thoroughly enraged and forcibly restrained, his chest heaving violently.

He didn't say anything, he just gave Wei Hong a push.

Wei Hong was speechless, still unable to accept the fact that she was going to marry Wang Dongkang.

She regrets it terribly now.

In the evening, Anmin was collecting the clothes that had been drying in the yard.

The courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and Qin Shulan walked in, her face showing an extremely humble and desperate pleading expression.

“Anmin…”

Qin Shulan's voice was hoarse and dry, with a sob in it.

Anmin saw her, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, she put down the clothes in her hand, and asked calmly, "Auntie, is something the matter?"

"Anmin... Auntie... Auntie is kneeling before you!"

Before Qin Shulan could finish speaking, with a "plop," she actually knelt upright on the cold ground in front of An Min.

An Min was startled and instinctively took a step back, her face darkening: "Auntie! What are you doing? Get up!"

"Anmin! I'm begging you! Please save Wei Hong! Please save our Wei family!"

Ignoring the dust on the ground, Qin Shulan hugged An Min's leg tightly, tears and snot streaming down her face.

"That damned Wang Dongkang... he... he demanded a dowry, and he also... he wanted Commander Liang to arrange a good job for him!"
"Anmin, your aunt knows you're kind-hearted. Please talk to Commander Liang and ask him to help! Just this once! Just this once! Otherwise... otherwise Wei Hong's life will be ruined! Our Wei family will be finished too! Your aunt is begging you!"

She cried and begged while making a gesture as if to kowtow to Anmin.

An Min originally wanted to reach out to help, but after hearing Qin Shulan's words, she withdrew her hand.

Looking at her aunt kneeling on the ground, so humble and subservient, Anmin felt no emotion whatsoever, only a chilling coldness and deep sorrow.

She forcefully pulled her leg out, took two steps back, and stood up straight.

"Auntie, get up. I can't help with this, and Liang Yi won't help either."

Qin Shulan's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked up at An Min in disbelief.

An Min's gaze was calm yet sharp as she looked directly into Qin Shulan's eyes: "First, Wei Hong's current situation is her own choice. No one forced her to be with Wang Dongkang at knifepoint."

Secondly, who is Wang Dongkang? He's glib and morally corrupt! If he can extort your dowry today, he can use Liang Yi's name to swindle and cheat people tomorrow!
Let Liang Yi arrange a job for him? That's abuse of power for personal gain! That's a mistake! Do you think Liang Yi's future and military discipline can be used to cover up your shame or pave the way for such scum?!

Her words were forceful and resounding, piercing Qin Shulan's heart like a knife. An Min's tone grew even colder, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

“When I first came to the Northwest and was desperate, I will remember what Wei Hong said to me for the rest of my life. I have no complaints about you. On the contrary, I am grateful to you, but only to you personally.”

An Min would absolutely not allow anyone else to interfere with her gratitude towards Qin Shulan.

An Min will help Qin Shulan when she is in trouble, but she will not help Wei Yaozong, Wei Hong, or Wei Ling.

Qin Shulan was speechless after being questioned by An Min. Her face turned red and white in turns, a mixture of shame and despair.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

“This matter is between Wei Hong and Wang Dongkang, and it is a matter for your Wei family.”

An Min concluded firmly, "Liang Yi and I will not interfere. Please leave."

After saying that, An Min stopped looking at Qin Shulan, who was slumped on the ground and looked ashen-faced. She turned around, picked up the last piece of clothing on the clothesline, went straight into the house, and closed the door.

Qin Shulan was left alone, kneeling on the cold ground.

Shivering from the winter wind, her last vestiges of unrealistic fantasy were extinguished.

When Liang Yi returned that evening, An Min served him rice while bringing up the matter.

She thought that Wei Yaozong would never agree to this.

Everyone knows Wang Dongkang is no good person. Marrying him would be like pushing Wei Hong into a fire pit.

"Everyone here knows Wang Dongkang's character, so guess why only Wei Hong got infected?"

Liang Yi only said one sentence, and An Min really couldn't understand it.

Seeing An Min's troubled expression, Liang Yi smiled and reached out to pat her head.

"Because at the beginning, Wang Dongkang said he would introduce Wei Hong to a potential partner."

Liang Yi knew about this because Wang Dongkang had almost tricked a female soldier in their camp before.

Later, Wang Dongkang failed and behaved himself for a while, so they stopped bothering with the matter.

I never expected Wei Hong to be so stupid as to fall for it.

"No wonder, I was wondering how Wei Hong could possibly be interested in Wang Dongkang."

Or perhaps Wei Yaozong tries to find a partner for Wei Hong, but Wei Hong doesn't like them and finds one herself.

Now look what's happened; he's ruined his entire life.

"But other people's business has nothing to do with me."

An Min smiled and took a bite of her food. Liang Yi nodded but didn't say anything more.

Actually, he had a message he wanted to tell Anmin.

But he didn't want to spoil Anmin's good mood.

The documents just came down today: Chen Mo was sentenced to ten years, and Zheng Tianyou's crimes are very serious, so he will be dealt with by higher authorities.

The most likely outcome is a death sentence or life imprisonment.

These two deserved their fate; if they hadn't plotted against Anmin, they wouldn't be in this mess today.

Haicheng.

Andy On finally woke up, and after learning what had happened, he was so angry that he smashed a lot of things.

"Go! Go to the Northwest! I want to see if she'll even abandon her own father!"
