Chapter 433: Can’t Stand Seeing Others Do Well
An Hao arrived back in the town by bus, and by then, it was already dark.
As soon as she got off, she was surprised to see An Ping waiting for her outside the station with his ox cart.
Seeing An Ping, An Hao made introductions, then climbed onto the ox cart to head to the village.
When they reached the entrance to the village, An Shuchao was playing chess under the stage with a few fellow villagers, surrounded by a circle of men each with their arms crossed, watching the game intently.
A few women were running around the stage with their children in tow.
An Hao got down from the ox cart, carrying a great many bags, stood by the roadside, and called for her father to come home, immediately drawing the attention of the people around.
"Oh, isn’t that An Hao? How is it that after attending college for a while, she’s become so fashionable? She looks just like a city person," said a woman holding a child.
"All these bags must have cost a fortune!"
"She’s got talent, we originally thought she was only marrying a fellow set to become a battalion commander, but who would’ve imagined that Qin Jian is actually the son of a Commander? She’s made it big now! How could an official not earn a hefty sum? Surely, she’ll never lack money to spend in the future."
"Exactly! No wonder she firmly refused when people came to the An Family to ask for her hand in marriage. It turns out she had her eyes on a gold mine early on! Now she has really climbed up high, soaring onto a branch to become a phoenix!"
"There’s a saying, ’the higher you climb, the harder you fall.’ Let’s not envy her; just wait until one day her man kicks her to the curb, she’ll have a hard time then."
