That’s because they have money! Far more than just the assets they show on the surface.
Even though they still live in Liu’er Alley and don’t have a grand mansion with a garden, nor have they been designated as landlords, their family wealth must have multiplied several times over!
Old Pei suddenly felt a sense of crisis, realizing that Sister Peiqin and her brother had amassed such a fortune without making a sound.
