Chapter 420: The Shopkeepers of Every Store at An Family Winehouse (7)_1
"However, although An Yixiang inherited the family business, she herself is a very formidable woman. Otherwise, with so many uncles and brothers in the An family clan, they would have snatched the winehouse from her long ago."
Shopkeeper Wu held An Yixiang in high regard, "When she first took over the winehouse, there was an uncle in the family who, citing her young age, wanted to forcefully bring the winehouse under the clan’s collective management by the clan leader and elders. In plain terms, that was nothing but an attempt to seize the property when her parents were no longer there. Later on, An Yixiang argued her case forcefully and set a term of one year, promising that if she proved insufficient to the task, she would present the winehouse with both hands."
"One year? So a year later, under An Yixiang’s management, business at the winehouse flourished, and the hopes of those in the clan were dashed?" Lin Yuan had guessed what Shopkeeper Wu was about to say next.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled and nodded, "Boss, you only guessed half right."

Lin Yuan looked at Xia Zheng with puzzlement, only to see him shrug his shoulders as if he didn’t know much about the matter.
Only to hear Shopkeeper Wu continue, "A year later, the An Family Winehouse indeed did exceptionally well under An Yixiang’s management, and they even extended their business to Yecheng, which naturally involved a partnership with the Drunken Immortal Residence. Not only that, the old man who had proposed taking over the An Family Winehouse suddenly suffered a stroke a year later and passed away after lying in bed for less than three months. And the day he died was precisely the day when An Yixiang officially took over the winehouse."
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrow, "Was the old man’s health already poor before that?"
