Wen Jing's voice came through the phone, revealing a mechanical indifference, "How do you think... I, a widow, have the nerve to ask the An family to obey my orders?"

Mother Yan asked anxiously, "Doesn't An Feng treat you as his own sister? Can you ask him to talk to the An family?"

Wen Jing chuckled, her voice full of sarcasm, "Haven't you learned the phrase 'the fox borrows the power of the tiger'? You should understand it today, right?"

Yan's mother almost couldn't catch her breath, and her temples were throbbing.

Only then did she realize that Wen Jing had tricked her.

"Okay... okay... you are really cruel, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

Wen Jing suddenly laughed crazily, "Hahahaha, I'm cruel? I'm punished by God? Hahahaha, it's you who are punished by God, right?"

She suddenly laughed like this at home, and Wang Lele was so scared that he shrank his neck.

An An didn't understand, she just thought that her aunt was very happy, so she tilted her head and laughed along.

Yan's mother was stunned. She felt that Wen Jing's tone was not right.

It seems that Wen Jing has a lot of resentment towards her.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how she had offended her.

"I want to be clear-headed. How did my Yan family offend you? Why do you want to scheme against me like this?"

Wen Jing laughed wildly for a while and then calmed down. "In the eyes of people like you, it's just stepping on an ant. Why would you care which ant it was?"

"A thousand-mile dam is breached by an ant hole. That's all I have to say...beep-beep-"

Listening to the busy tone in the receiver, Yan's mother felt as if her soul had been drained away, her eyes dull.

The strict father standing by was very anxious, "What did she say? Will you help?"

Yan's mother didn't say anything, but pondered every word Wen Jing said in her mind.

When the strict father saw that she didn't say anything, he understood very well that Wen Jing was unwilling to help.

The last straw was gone, and the strict father threw the jar into despair, shouting loudly: "You are a long-haired and short-sighted idiot. If you hadn't insisted on venting your anger on that unlucky person, would it have become like this today?"

"You shouldn't have let that unlucky guy steal Fang Hanchuan's entire fortune and send it to him. That family is full of ungrateful people. Now they want to kill us. Do you still want them to let us go?"

His words instantly awakened Yan's mother.

I shuddered all over and got goose bumps.

She stood up in an instant, "I understand! I understand!!!"

The strict father was shocked by her appearance, "You...what do you understand?"

Mother Yan took a few sharp breaths and calmed herself down. "Go! Call everyone over here, quickly! If it's too late, we'll be finished!"

The strict father didn't understand, but seeing her like that, he still trusted her out of habit.

Soon, a large group of Yan's family members gathered in the living room, each of them had dark eyes and a sad look on their faces.

They started to chatter, "Mom, we're busy right now, why did you call us over? Have you thought of a solution?"

Mother Yan has now regained her usual calm demeanor. "Now go close the factory, close the shop, and lay off the workers."

"What? Close the store? Close the factory? Mom, if all these are closed, we're all finished..."

"Yes, grandma, if we close the factory, we won't be able to provide goods to those people."

Yan's mother was very tough. "If we don't close them, we'll be finished. If you believe me, go and close all the factories now. There's still a glimmer of hope."

There was a particularly smart person in the Yan family who immediately understood what Yan's mother was going to do.

"Grandma! I understand. I'll turn it off!" After saying this, he immediately turned around and left.

The other people didn't understand and asked why. Yan's mother only said, "Just do it. Why ask so many questions?" and didn't say anything else.

These people didn't understand, so they just went back and did as they were told.

Those that are closing factories are closing factories, and those that are closing stores are closing stores.

After all, the Yan family is a leading enterprise in Yongchang City, and is involved in many industries, mostly handicrafts.

Garment factories, food factories, textile factories, anything that requires manual processing are all involved, and there are a lot of workers.

There were so many factories, and tens of thousands of workers lost their jobs all of a sudden.

Isn't this going to cause a riot?

The workers had been delayed in receiving their wages for three months and were already seething with resentment.

If they suddenly lose their jobs, they will definitely cause trouble.

They all gathered at the factory gate, their faces red and angry, demanding an explanation.

Yan's mother changed her usual noble attire and dressed like an old country lady. She took a large amount of cash from selling her property during this period and spread it out at the factory gate. She also invited reporters from the news media to the factory for interviews.

She held a loud speaker and calmed the workers, "Everyone listen to me."

The crowd quieted down.

"My fellow countrymen, this is the last bit of money that our Yan Group has managed to collect after spending all its money. I know this amount is not enough to pay off the wages that you have owed me for the past few months. As long as I am alive, I will do my best to pay off your hard-earned money."

Someone in the crowd asked, "What happened to the group? Why is it going bankrupt out of nowhere?"

Yan's mother suddenly burst into tears. "Our Yan's Group has never treated a worker unfairly. Everyone's salary is paid on time every month, and we have never evaded taxes. The tax bureau has been checking our Yan's Group's accounts for nearly four months. Even if they check every item, they should have found out everything. Our funds have been completely frozen, and we can't pay everyone's salary. Now, we can only wait to declare bankruptcy and sell the factory to compensate you for your hard work over the past few months."
