A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

Anning had originally planned to get the money to take Xiaoni'er to the county town for medical treatment from her sister-in-law, Song Wenying.

Of course, it doesn't affect things now.

In this day and age, doing the same thing in the city is much simpler than doing it in the countryside.

Mentioning Song Wenying makes An Ning furious. Although she hasn't been home much these past few years, she's incredibly wicked. She played a part in most of the suffering the original owner endured.

She was the one who instigated the original owner to hand over her wages to Ma Cuihua; she was also the mastermind behind the substitute work; she was the one who ignited Ma Cuihua's hostility towards her granddaughter even after having a grandson; and she was the one who told Ma Cuihua that the original owner's parents were dead and she had no one to back her up, so she didn't need to worry and could be bullied at will.

If it weren't for her, even if Ma Cuihua didn't like her granddaughter, she wouldn't have treated her second daughter-in-law so badly.

After arriving in town, An Ning's first stop was the house that the factory had allocated to her original parents—Song Wenying's current residence.

When the door opened, Song Wenying saw that it was Shen Anning who was knocking. Her first reaction was to close the door, but Anning blocked it firmly.

"Who is it?" came a man's voice from inside.

Song Wenying's expression changed, and she replied, "No one, a coworker asked me something."

She turned around and met Shen Anning's ambiguous smile.

"I heard you married the workshop foreman's son?" An Ning asked. "He probably doesn't know how you got this job, does he?"

Song Wenying's face darkened: "What do you want to do? The job has already been transferred to my name, and I'm not going to give it back to you."

Anning cut to the chase: "Your mother beat my daughter, and I'm taking her to the county town for medical treatment. Give me a thousand yuan, or I'll take this to the factory leaders. Even if I lose my job, you can forget about working here anymore."

"Are you crazy?"

Upon hearing An Ning's words, Song Wenying's voice rose eight octaves.

"what happened?"

The man inside heard the noise and wanted to come out to see what was going on, but she reacted faster and closed the door immediately: "It's nothing, we're just gossiping. You're a man, don't come and listen."

After closing the door, she pulled Shen Anning several steps away before speaking in a low voice.

"Where would I get that much money? Eating and drinking in town is free. I can only give you two hundred."

However, An Ning still wore that ambiguous smile, which made Song Wenying feel uneasy. She then raised the price: "Three hundred at most, I really don't have any more."

"is it?"

An Ning looked at her coolly and helped her calculate the cost.

“A first-level worker’s monthly salary is thirty-five, which is four hundred and twenty a year. You’ve held this job for five years, and your salary alone is two thousand one hundred yuan. I haven’t even included your salary when you were promoted to second-level worker. You’re not willing to give me half of your salary to completely resolve this matter? Then do as we agreed, and give me half of your salary, one thousand and fifty.”

Song Wenying was dumbfounded. She was clearly bargaining, so how did it increase by fifty?

But she wasn't stupid; she wouldn't follow Anning's lead: "I really don't have that much. You know, we haven't had any children since we got married, and we've spent a lot of money on medical treatment. How about this, I'll add another fifty, three hundred and fifty..."

An Ning turned and left: "Since I can't get this money, then you can forget about the job. My parents were both level seven workers back then, and they have some connections with the factory leaders. They shouldn't refuse if the factory offers an extra work position..."

"wait!"

Seeing that An Ning was unresponsive to reason, Song Wenying grew anxious.

She did go to the doctor, but she did it secretly and didn't spend that much money; she saved most of her salary.

The problem is how to get this money out.

In order to win over the workshop director's son, she presented herself as a self-reliant and strong woman of the new era, praising her in every way.

If An Ning were to expose this, wouldn't it expose her?

Even if her mother-in-law intervened and kept her job, she wouldn't be able to stay in the textile factory any longer.

She's been married for so many years and still can't have a child, which makes her mother-in-law dislike her. If this matter comes to light, she might even have a lower status in the family than Shen Anning.

She has four hundred yuan in savings of her own, so if all else fails...

Song Wenying gritted her teeth: "Wait a minute, I'll go get you the money. But if a third person finds out about this, I'll never forgive you!"

"Honey, open the door!"

Song Wenying took Anning back and knocked on the door.

This time, Anning saw what her husband looked like.

Song Wenying's husband was named Hao Ren. He was dark-skinned, short, and fat, like a radish that had just been dug out of the ground. His squinty eyes were also looking at her with ill intent.

Song Wenying seemed to notice Hao Ren's gaze and introduced, "This is my second sister-in-law. Her child is sick and she wants to borrow six hundred yuan from us. You know my second brother's situation; once we get the money from him, the child's illness will be delayed."

Upon hearing this, Song Wenying's husband glanced at An Ning with lingering interest and deliberately said, "Why didn't you mention earlier that your sister-in-law was here? You were telling me you were gossiping with your coworkers."

Song Wenying smiled ingratiatingly: "Weren't you upset about my family's affairs? I didn't know the situation was so serious just now..."

"Alright, alright, just go get it for your sister-in-law." Hao Ren reached out to pull Shen Anning, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired from carrying the baby all the way. Come in and sit down! We owe Wenying's work so much to you, sister-in-law!"

Shen Anning looked at the pair of dark hands and took a step back: "Brother-in-law, you're too kind. I'm in a hurry to take the child to the hospital, so I won't go in."

In the short time it took, Song Wenying had already taken the money and came out, pushing Hao Ren back: "Okay, honey, I've taken the money. I'm going to see my sister-in-law off and give her some instructions."

Although Shen Anning has been worn down by her in-laws in recent years, she still retains her original beauty and one can still vaguely see the features of her former beauty.

Putting yourself in her shoes, if she were your sister-in-law, with such looks, you certainly wouldn't want to live such a hard life in your husband's family. You would definitely try to find a rich man to escape your current predicament.

And isn't her husband the most suitable candidate?

He's young, comes from a good family, and is a regular factory worker...

Thinking of this, Song Wenying hurriedly pulled Anning downstairs and slapped the money on the little girl: "Alright, here's the money. Don't forget what you promised me."

An Ning counted the money and said, "What I just said wasn't a loan!"

Song Wenying felt extremely agitated at the thought that she had not only lost her secret stash of money but also lost six hundred. She said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself. Anyway, you don't have to pay me back. Now we're completely even. You should leave now and not stay here."

After counting the money, An Ning turned around and left.

But instead of heading outside, she went into another building of the staff dormitory.

Song Wenying owes the original owner of more than just these things. Even the house she and Hao Ren live in now was allocated to the original owner's parents by the factory, and the furniture and items inside were all carefully arranged by the original owner's parents.

Since An Ning is going to help the original owner get justice, she wants to get all of this back at once!

Following her memory, Anning arrived at the third floor of a building and knocked on the door of the family.
